San Francisco, Saturday, January 7, 1905 SEVENTY- FIVE THREE-YEAR-OLDS are paid up on and eligible to Breeders Futurity No. 2, the three-year-old trotting- and pacing divisions of which are to he decided this year at the meeting of the Pacific Coast TrottiDg Horse Breeders Associa- tion. This makes the value of the second stake much more than the first one and instead of the three-year- olds trotting and pacing for $2000 and $1000 as they did last year the amounts will be nearer $2700 for trotters and $1300 for pacers. No stake ever inaugu- rated on the Pacific Coast has been so popular with breeders as this one and the fact that the stake money is deposited by Treasurer N. T. Smith in reputable savings banks, where it draws interest until the time of the races, gives the stake a standing among horse- men of the Pacific Coast which no other stake has. The fact that the sixth payment was made January 2d on seventy-five three-year-olds eligible to Breeders Futurity No 2 means that there will be seventy-five three-year-olds in training by another month for this stake and that fact alone is worth mentioning. The harness horse industry in California is in a very healthy condition, despite the fact that our circuit in the past few years has been a small one. Trainers and owners are finding that there is money in train- ing and fitting horses to sell, and that while there are not many meetings in California those held are well patronized and the racing clean and good. If there could be a circuit arranged this year of seven or eight good meetings it would be sufficient to give all who have horses in training a chance to race. The fact that seventy-five three-year-olds have been paid up on for one stake shows that the horsem3n are ready to do their part toward making a successful circuit. All that is needed now is for the associations to get together and form one, and announce dates and purses. It should be done at once. will be laid out inside the trotting track. The horse- men of San Francisco are greatly pleased over the outlook as the new track is certain to be one of the most popular recreation grounds in the rity . THE COMPARISONS which Editor Hervey of the Chicago Horse Review has been making in that excellent journal recently between trotting and run- ning meetings have aroused the antagonisms of many of his contemporaries who want to see "running methods" introduced in the trotting meetings. Editor Hervey, however, has to our mind much the better of the arguments and his page editoral in the edition of December 27th showstheconditions on the running tracks as they exist in nearly all the principal eitie9 of the United States where running meetings are held. Racing is not a sport on the running tracks of America, but a business. The old plan of holding meetings for the pleasure of the sport has heen- abolished. Jockey Clubs are now formed for profit, and unless the meetings pay dividends to the stock- holders they are discontinued. There is not a running association in America that could continue a meeting over two weeks in the interest of true sport. We hope that running methods will never be adopted on the trottings tracks, as they would kill the sport to a moral certainty. The Horse Review is correct in its opposition to the adoption of the methods which have made the running tracks famous. More power to the pen of its editor in the good work he is doing. THE NEW SPEED TRACK and athletic grounds in Golden Gate Park will be finished within a year. The $20,000 raised by contribution of the horsemen and people interested in athletics in San Francisco has been turned over to the Park Com- missioners, who will expend a like amount on the work which has already begun. It is expected that the new grounds will be finished within a year, and ■ ready for use. The track will be a regulation oval, sixty feet in width and the infield will be fitted for polo, football and* other sports, while a bicycle course A CALIFORNIA CIRCUIT of harness racing ** should be organized immediately without any reference to what course the Legislature will take in regard to district fairs. Santa Rosa, San Jose, Pieas- anton, Woodland. Stockton and Fresno could form a circuit that would d raw all the best trotters and pacers in California. If such a circuit could be formed imme- diately and programs announced, big entry lists would be received. All the horsemen want to race in Cali- fornia this year, but they don't want to wait three or four months to know where the meetings will be held.

Pony racing as conducted by the California Polo and Pony Racing Association at the private course of Chas. W. Clark at San Mateo, has become the most popular winter sport on the Coast. Owing to the wet weather of last week the program set for last Satur- day had to be postponed until Monday of this week, which was a legal holiday, and the grand stand and infield were thronged with a crowd that thoroughly enjoyed every event on the program. Five races were decided, Mr. Rudolph Spreckels' ponies winning three. Charles Dunphy had two winning mounts, R. J. Dunphy two and Frank Skinner one. Another ex- cellent program will be decided this afternoon. The results of last Monday's races were: Three-sixteenths of a mile- Rudolph Spreckels' Don, 158 (Skinner) 1 C. W.

John Lance, who has trained and driven many horBes on the Northern Circuit, writeB us from Cheney, Washington, under date of December 14tb, that the weather up there had up to that date been like California weather, without a freeze. His horse Sam Bowers 2:11, pacing, has taken to trotting, and has shown that he can trot in 2:15 or better, and will probably be raced through California next year if the circuit is arranged so the northern horsemen can get back to the North Pacific Circuit. Mr. Lance says he may be down here soon Besides his own subscription he sent that of Mr. Eugene Taj lor, of Pampa, Wash- ington, who he says is a new man in the harness horse business and a good one.

';.'■' ie interesting to your readers. In the n'rVf^lace, it is a pleasure to be able to state tbat'the business, is in a most flourishing con- dition, au«l\v^?y horseman I met in Butte county an enthusiastic "one, and of the kind that stay through goo&^pd'bad report and at whose feet the poisoned . £nvws of malice and hatred, shot by the knockers, fa-11 harmless. The Red Bluff track, as all horsemen know, is one of the best in the State. The District Agricultural Society has failed to bold a fair here for several years, and in consequence the grounds and track have been neglected and allowed to fall somewhat into decay, but thanks to the trottiDg horsemen here who came to the rescue of the track, it is now in first class con- dition and many horses are now being trained and worked over it. Those wide-awake and enterprising horsemen P. W. Frary. I. V. Andrews and "Prince L. -Kinney Lou Rowley" have the track in charge and their names are a guarantee that the grounds and the track will be kept in first class shape. Besides these gentlemen, there are R. Ramsey, Robert Free- man, Robert Burress, District Attorney Gill, Henry Witfeld, F. Coleman and several others whose names I cannot just now recall, who are enthusiastic owners or trainers of harness horses. Mr. Rowley is the man who trained and developed the great Kinney Lou until the stallion was sold to Budd Doble and who also trained Prince L. 2:17J and won three races within seven days with him at the State Fair of 1903. Mr. Rowley has four in training, all by the Doble horse. They all trot, favor their sire, and are very promising. F. Frary has in training one by Sidney Dillon that is entered in the Occident and Stanford Stakes, and will certainly stand for part of the money, barring bad luck. He has also a Kinney Lou yearling, dam by Dictatus, that is a fac simile of his sire and a very likely colt. He is the property of District Attorney Gill. J. V. Andrews has three that are all working fast. One is a chestnut gelding that he calls Pomp Morgan that is by Waldstein out of the dam of Prince L. This fellow has shown very fast work — I will not state just how fast, but money getting speed. He also has Miss Bessie by Gossiper, dam by Anteeo, a full sister to Lady Fair 2:1 7 J tbat is the real thing, as she is much faster than her sister and will be a money winner Also King S. by Altamont, dam Queen S. that is warm goods. This young stallion, although only three and a half years old, was so well patronized that his owne.-s had to turn mares away last spring. There is also here the stallion Lorin, by Nazote (own brother to Azote 2:04f ), dam Lizette that was bred at Palo Alto. He is the property of F. W. Frary and well patronized. The good stallion Escort is owned by Henry Wit- feld, the leading blacksmith of the town and with no superior in the State Escort is doing and will do his full share. In this connection I wish to state that while these three stallions are the only harness stallions in this vicinity, I notice! there was an entire absence of that obnoxious despicable thing called knocking, and the result is that all these horses are doing a fine business, and good feeling and fellowship exists between the three owners. I sincerely hope that owners in other parts of the State will adopt this plan to the lasting benefit of this great industry. There are in this county many who are breeding from one to a doz^n good mares each year, and nearly all the best stallions on the Coast are represented. The broodmares for instance on the Andrews place represent the blood of Anteeo, Altamont, William L. Almont 33, Gossiper, Vermont Blackhawk, Wald. stein, and George Wilkes, while on the Frary place Whips, Director, Escort, Sidney Dillon, and Steinway are represented and on the D. Cone place McKinney, Don Marvin, Biy Bird, Kinney Lou, and others. These are but a few, the majority of the breeders here having only begun during the past few years, ' but they are all breeding along tho best modern lines, and using up-to-date methods in development. I have no hesitation in predicting that in time this will bo one of the best speed producing points in California, and in concluaion let me say that being a great admirer and lover of the trotter and pacer my visit to Red Bluff has been an inspiration to me.

When the German trick horse "Hans" created a sensation among lovers of horses by performing all kinds of tricks in the Way of answering questions, counting, etc., it was claimed by his trainer that "Hins" performed entirely by virtue of his own brain and without any assistance from bis trainer. Practical horstmen ridiculed the idea that a horse could add up sums, tell the time, etc , as they are well aware tbat horses reason "from cause to effect" and learn tricks as the result of what "has happened," not from what might or will happen. Everybody has seen the circus horses answer the usual questions "Yes" and "No" by bowing or shaking their heads, and to the uninitiated it certainly looks very clever but it is really very simple. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that high-strung horses learn quicker than the quieter kind, and one that has a "cunning" streak in him is always an apt pupil. To teach the horse to say : 'Yes" and "No" take a short stick, about two feet long, and drive a tack throughit at the end so the point sticks out just about a quarter of an inch. Standing on theleft-hand side of the horse at his shoulder, ask him a question to which you want the answer "No" and then raise the stick so you can touch the horse on the crest of his neck about half- way between his ears and withers with the tack pointy Do not hit the horse on the neck, but place the end of the stick there and press until the horse feels the prick of the tack point; this will make him &hake his head just as he would to dislodge a fly. Immediately he does so, remove the stick, dropping your hand behind you so the stick is no longer visible to the horse. Repeat this, asking a question each time to which "No" is the correct answer, but being sure not to move your hand to raise the stick until after you have asked the question. After a few times the horse will shake his head when the stick touches his neck and before he feels the prick of the tack point because his experience has taught him that the raising of the stick is followed by a prick on the neck which nature has taught him to get rid of by shaking his head. A few lessons and it will only be necessary to raise the stick a trifle alter asking the question and the horse will shake his head, and repeated lessons will enable you to stand away in front of the horse and ask questions, and by raising the hand apparently to brush a fly from your own neck or remove a cigar from your mouth, make the horse shake his head to answer "No " Does the horse understand what you actually say? He does not, and the best proof is that the horse will answer "No" on the signal being made regardless of what is said to it. Ask him the question in German, Russiao, Japanese, Chinese or any other language and on the signal being made the horse will apparently answer "No;" actually he does not answer the question itself but answers the signal. To teach the horse to a* swer "Yes" by nodding or bowing his head, instead of touching him on the neck touch him on the breast, low down, nearly between the forelegs, and with many horses it is necessary to give quite a pressure of the tack point at first to cause them to nip at ' the bite, " for that is actually what they do, but in so doiDg they bow their head and ap- parently answer "Yes. " Two things are important in teaching these tricks; never make a motion of the signal until after the question has been asked, for if made as the last word or two is spoken, the horse will answer too quickly and spoil the effect; and directly the horse shakes his head or bows remove the signal stick, dropping the hand out of sight. In the sama manner the horse can be taught to count by pawing with his forefoot and from the original signal of a tap on the leg between tbe knee and pastern the signal can be reduced until a very 6light movement of the trainer's finger or foot will be sufficient. This trick practiced to a point where the horse will paw at the least noticeable signal on the part ol the trainer will enable you to make the horse answer all questions where it is necessary to answer in figures, such as asking the time, etc. If the answer should be ten minutes past three, make the horse paw ten times then give a fling of his head, easily taught on the same p inciple as the bow, and then paw three limes. To teach the horse to pick up numbers, etc., you must first teach it to grab at a white rag or handker- chief and this can be done by holding a pin between the fingers at the same time holding the white hand, kerchief; touch the horse with the pin on the point of the shoulder and he will grab at "the bite" and catch tbe handkerchief between his teeth. Let him take the handkerchief and he will Boon learn to grab at it whenever the signal indicates a prick on theshoulder. The horse has then to be taught to travel slowly along sideways and stop instantly atthesignal of command. Everybody has seen the circus horse pass slowly along the outside edge of the ring, suddenly stop, paw and uncover the hankerchief, then pick it up and bring it to the trainer. This is a combination or rather a series of several tricks quickly following each other. The horse had been taught to grab the hand- kerchief when he sees it; be has also been taught to paw, he has been taught to move around tbe ring and to stop when signalled to, and the picking up of num- bers is the combination of tricks followed out at one spot. He moves slowly past the numbers, stops at the signal of his trainer at the right one and on another signal grabs the number. It looks very clever; it looks as if the horse actually knew the number, but the cleverness all exists in teaching the horse to recog- nize the slightest possible signal and to answer it promptly. The trainer could take half a dozen photographs of, say, the last six presidents, or of six noted horses, or any other six subjects and make the horse pick up any one he might select by merely men- tioning the name of it. He might ask for the picture of the mare that made the fastest trotting race record of the year and signal the horse to pick the picture of Sweet Marie. The attempt to make "Hans" answer questions when blindfolded proved total failures, and it was because he could not see the answers in the shape of ■ the proper signals for them. Actually the horse does not understand language of any sort, but he does readily learn to connect certain sounds with certain signals or actions so will answer the rounds before the signals are given or actions made. In this manner a horse can be taught to start when the word "Whoa" is given and stop on the sound of "Get up." Substi- tute for these words the words "Carrots" for Whoa and Potatoes for "Get up," and you can teach ahorse to start at the sound of Potatoes and stop when Car- rots is spoken. The principle is the same all the way through. The horse reasons from cause to effect and only acts as the result of past experiences, not present consideration or future calcualtions. — Exchange. A Molasses Diet. The trucking horses used by a big sugar refining firm in Brooklyn, N. Y., are such fine, big, sleek look- ing animals that their passage through the streets attracts attention, and horsemen generally believe that the cost of keeping them in such condition must be considerably above the average, says the Sim. This is not the case, however, for, in the stable of the firm an experiment of mixing molasses with the feed has been made and the plan has been found to be not only extremely economical but also of exceptional value in producing nourishment. It cost only thirtj- four cents a day to feed tbese fine horses which range from 1700 to 1800 pounds in weight. This, according to experts, is from twenty to twenty-seven per cent cheaper than the old system of maintaining the stock on oats and hay entirely. This is what the sugar refinery horses eat: In the morning they get a quart and a half of Indian corn meal, a quart of wheat bran, seven pounds of cut hay and a quart and a half of su^ar house syrup which remains after all possible crystallization of sugar has taken place. As noon each horse gets four or five quarts of oats and the night ration is tbe same as that in the morn- ing, except that five pounds of loose hay is placed in the stall in addition. The hygienic value of the molasses feed formu'a is proved by an experiment which was made on two rundown horses that had been kept upon ordinary rations. Their weights were 890 and 925 pounds when they were put on the molasses system, and both soon showed improvement in weight and health. At the end of six weeks the smaller had gained 200 pounds and the other was 181 pounds heavier. Novel and Profitable Trip. Determined to improve his wife's health by plenty of pure air and out-of-door life, B. A. Richardson, who has just arrived at Belle Plaine, succeeded in ac- complishing his mission in a novel and unique manner. The family had been in the State of Washington for some time, and, longing to get back to Iowa, tbey started with a horse and wagon from Spokane July 22, drove all the way to Belle Plaine, got home in time to start at once for Evanston to spend Thanks- giving, and Mrs. Richardson has fully recovered her lost health, thanks to the long and extended wagon ride. The distance traversed is nearly 2500 miles. The health of Mrs. Richardson began to improve as soon as the family had been on the trip two weeks, and today she is enjoying the health of her girlhood, the best of her life. — Des Moines Register and Leader.

Jones, president of the Memphis Association, has quite a string of good ones wintering in charge of that wizard of the reins, Ed Geers, which he will campaign the coming season. Among others he has the great young trotter, Tom Axworthy 2:085, and Baron Grattan 2:04}. Lou Dillon and Major Delmar will have one of their match races next year over the two-minute track at Readville. An offer of $3500 was lately refused for a yearling colt by Moko, dam Silicon II. 2:15|, owned by Clem Beachey, Jr. As to Billy Buch to 2:07}, he turns out to be the greatest snow horse in PittsDurg, and Mr. Callery got him for a song. Geers won three more races than any other Grand Circuit driver this past season. Snow and Spear were his nearest competitors with fifteen each. The State Fair Grounds at Sacramento are rapidly being dismantled and there will not be one of the old buildings left standing by the last of this month. There were more new 2:10 trotters produced in 1904 than ever before, but the number of new 2:15 trotters was smaller than in a number of previous seasODS. A syndicate is said to have been formed in a Kansas town for the purpose of buying Direct Hal 2:04}, when the Hamlin horses are disposed of this winter. President McDoel, of the Monon Route, who owns among other horses Allerson 2:081 and Irish 2:08}, has leased the Idle Hour Farm, near Macon, Ga., for winter quarter. Two-Year-Old Brother to Sweet Marie Owned by J. C. Adams, Phcenlx, Arizona It is now reported that Lon McDonald's new employer is R. L. Williams, a wealthy Boston sports- man, and that Lon has signed for three years at a salary of $7000 per year. Charles Marvin, instead of wintering as usual at Lexington, Ky., will this winter try Selma, Ala. He has two or three Futurity candidates in his stable and will band all his energies toward getting them in first class shape. W. D. Grand is quoted as saying that the reckless emasculation of full-made trotting stallions to make heavy harness horses has exhausted the supply and that the breed is now so nearly wiped out he doubts if it can be revived. Fifty-seven stallions were advertised in the stallion directory printed in our Christmas number. Out of these any breeder should be able to pick some that will do to mate his mares with. Fifteen of the fifty- seven were sired by McKinney. The stallion Stoneway was omitted from the list of standard sires printed in our Christmas number. He is by Strathway and is the sire of My Way (3) 2:22, and Stonelita 2:20. Stoneway is owned by Geo. W. Kirkham of Exeter, Cal. W. L. McDonald, of Concord, Cal., has purchased from John Ott of Pacheco, the chestnut colt Count Valensin by Sidmoor, dam Belle by Alcona 730, she the dam of Gaff Topsail 2:16 and Enoch 2:121. The colt is a fine, large promising trotter, and is entered in Breeders Futurity No. 3. Mr. S. C. Walton, the well-known trainer of Fresno, Cal., writes to the Breeder and Sportsman to the effect that the credit of training the two-year-old Athasham 2:20 is due him instead of Mr. Zibbellas stated in the Breeder and Sportsman. This paper simply stated that Mr. Zibbell trained and drove Athasham la9t year, which is correct, [t is true that Mr. Walton trained the colt and drove him in his first race, but afterwards Athasham was turned over to Mr. Zibbell, who gave him all his training thereafter and gave him his record of 2:20 in a race won in straight heats at Santa Rosa. The honor of marking the first new standard per- former of the year 1905 is claimed by Jacob Brolliar, who gave the horse McGee by Robert Basler 2:20, a paciDg record of 2:24} on Monday, January 2d, in a race over the track of the Tulare Fair Association at a regularly advertised meeting. A. H. Merrill, of Danvers Mass., has sold the Cali- fornia bred gray trotting gelding Who Is It 2:10}, by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16}, son of Guy Wilkes 2:15}, dam Lassie Jean (dam of Dolly Marchutz 2:19}), by Briga- dier, to H. M. Clark, Springfield, Mass. The horsemen of Lewiston, Me., have organized a driving association. It is proposed to hold a number of matineeB, with silver cups for prizes, and it may be decided to hold a few meetings with money prizes of sufficient size to attract outside horsemen. Owners of hoppled pacers will have a chance to get rid of them in England. Recently John Splan stated that he had an order to ship several of them to Eng- land if he could get them at the right prices. Prince Alert 1:59J will make the class fashionable when he gets to going over there. W. A. Clark, Jr , who owns the string of trotters and pacers that Ted Hayes trained at Pleasanton last winter and are now at Los Angeles, is not the first member of the family to race a stable in the Grand Circuit His father, Senator Clark, owned Major Wonder 2:09|, Faust 2:18}, Conde 2:19}, and others who went dow the big line a dozen years ago. Reports say that Ed Geers will give up his Lexing- ton avenue home, at Buffalo, and move his family to Memphis. For some twelve years the Geers family have resided in Buffalo, but since the trainer has severed his connections with Village Farm, he has been considering locating at Memphis. Mr. R. P. Lathrop, head of the Lathrop Hay Com- pany at Hollister, spent several weeks in Los Angeles, during December, attending to the delivery of over 2000 tons of hay to the firm's patrons in Southern California. Hollister hay is the principal diet of Los Angeles horses during this season of the year. Two sales of saddle geldings at $1000 each are re- ported from Kentucky. AJonzo McDonald, the trainer of trotters, bought Monte Marks Jr., by Monte Marks, dam Belle Harris by Black Squirrel, and F. Proctor, Utica, N. Y., bought Fred Proctor. The former is of the five-gaited variety and the latter of the three. A correspondent at Pleasanton sends us the infor- mation that Al McDonald last week worked the green mare by Zombro 2:11 out of a mare by Woolsey (own brother to Sunol 2:0S1), a full mile in 2:16, last half in 1:05}, last quarter in 311 seconds. This mare is one of the best gaited trotters ever seen on the Pleasanton track and acts like another Sweet Marie. Sandy Smith came up from Mr. A. B. Spreckels' Aptos Farm the Christmas week with a bay gelding by Cupid out of Gracie S., the dam of Dione 2:07}, that he took to Pleasanton where it is now in Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick's string and being traini d by James Thompson. The gelding is a pacer and very promis- ing. Sandy reported that the three-year-old chestnut stallion by Dexter Prince, dam Galata by Stambcul, second dam Jenny the dam of Hulda 2:081, that is yet at Aptos, has grown into one of the handsomest horses ever foaled on the farm. Mr. Spreckels has been offered $3000 for him, but declined the offer. McKinley 2:29 was accidently omitted from Mc- Kinney's list of new standard performers that appeared in the Christmas number of this paper. McKinley is owned by Supervisor John W. Mj,rtin of Tulare county and his record was made at the Tulare fairlast year after but two months work. As McKinley is 161 hands high and weighs over 1300 pounds Mr. Martin believes he i3 the fastest big trotter in California. Grattan Boy 2:08, the trotting stallion which won so manyrecesin the Grand Circuit for the late R. H. Plaut some years ago, is dead in Louisiana A resi- dent of that State purchased him at the sale of Mr. Plant's horses in Lexington, but later resold him. Though he has only a few colts old enough to race and not many all told Grattan Boy was very promis- ing as a sire and his death is surely a great loss to Louisiana. Interna 30,838, the stallion by Diablo 2:09} out of Biscari by Director, reduced his record to 2:17 over the Billings, Montana, half-mile track last year. At the Montana State Fair at Helena last fall, Dr. C. D. Crutcber drove him a mile in 2:16 hitched to a 95- pound jog cart. Inferna was taken back all the way, but paced the last quarter in 311 seconds. He will be another 2:10 pacer for Diablo when he hits a good track and is given his head. Says last week's Trotter and Pacer: "General Nelson A. Miles was one of the conspicuous drivers on the Speedway last Friday. He was the guest of Mr. Nathan Straus and drove the black pacer Tony M. 2:14}. The General got into the brushing game readily and was not headed in several in which be figured. He had four goes with Mr. Thomas Lynch's Bessie Duffy and W. C. Campbell's Susie G., and won each of them in driving finishes." Frank E. Wright of Sacramento has removed his string of horses in training to the Woodland track, and they arrived there last week in charge of Si Hess, his able assistant The pacer Kelly Briggs 2:09} and the trotter H. D. B. 2:13, both good winners on the Pacific Coast circuit in 1904, are in the string, besides five or six others. It is probable that nearly all the trainers heretofore usiDg the Sacramento track will move their strings to Wonriland. James Nolan, a trainer and driver who was in the employ of Palo Alto Stock Farm for several years, died in this city, last week, after a short illness. Mr. Nolan, who was known to many of his friends as "Red" on account of his complexion, was a good horseman and during his life had trained many that took fast records. He was in the employ of Mr. A. B. Spreckels after leaving Palo Alto, but left Aptos Farm to go to Cape Nome during the Alaska mining excitement some years ago. Mr. L.B. Spurgcou of Wheatland, Cal., asks for the pedigree of the pacing horse Costello that Vet Tryon campaigned in California and Montana some years ago. Costello is a black horse, according to the Year Book, and has a record of 2:24}, made at Port- land, Oregon, July 10, 1891. He was foaled in 1883, and bred by J. B Haggin of Sacramento. His sire is Echo 462, son of Hamble'onian 10, and his dam Bessie Turner, also called Bessie Taylor, the dam of Sam Lewis 2:25. She was by St. Clair 656. The second dam of Costello was Rio Vista Maid by John Nelson 187. The Cleveland Road Drivers' Association has arranged for the use of Euclid avenue, between Case and Sterling, a distance of nearly a mile, for a winter speedway. There are no crosswalks or intersecting streets in th6 section of Euclid avenue mentioned, and as the same is to be kept free from unnecessary traffic for two hours every afternoon during the sleighing season, the horsemen of Cleveland are preparing for an excellent winter sport. Secretary Geo. A. Schneider of the Road Drivers' Association, will be in charge of the speedway and matinees will be held Saturday afternoons, with ribbons to be awarded the winners It was at Kalamazoo, Mich., that Flora Temple first put the trotting mark below 2:20, on Oct. 15, 1859, and for many years after the famous Michigan village was a big center of trotting sport. Then bad times came Lady Rivers by Mambrino 1789 Dam by Sweet Marie 2:04J£. with Foal at Foot by Ob So 2:!5K and it dropped out of the circuit. But the old love for the trotter was not dead, it was only sleeping, and Kalamazoo will return to its early love and again be- come a harness horse center. A number of prominent citizens have organized and built a first-class mile- track, equipped with modern grandstand ard stables, and two harness race meetings will te given in 1905. It is known as Recreation Park. The matinee game will also be a prominent recreation feature of Recrea- tion Park. One of the handsomest as well as one of the best bred young McKinr ey stallions in California, Ed Mc- Kinney, will be located at Willows. Colusa county, this spring, in charge of James Sullivan, the well known horseman. Ed McKinney's dam is the great broodmare Nona Y. 2:25, that is the dam of Nance O'Neil2:09}, Chas. David 2:15 and Lady Rowena 2:181 by Admiral 48S. son of Volunteer 55 His second dam is Black Flora, dam of Sister 2:191. Perihelion 2:25 and Nona Y. 2:25 and Huntress 2:28 A McKinney stallion with the individuality Ed McKinney has, and with such great broodmares in his pedigree should get a large patronage in any community, especially at $25 the season. In Russia the progeny of the American trotting stallion and the Orloff mare is esteemed faster than either the true Orloff or the American article as it has bsen brought in the land of the Czar. For instance Alvin 2:11, Baron Rogers 2:09|, Nominee and many others thac might be named did service in this country before exportation and yet none of them left any progeny of any note whatever. However, in Russia as soon as mated with the Orloff mares all these three stallions have begotten phenomenal speed and staying qualities. A son of Alvin won the great Russian Trotting Derby of 1903, another son won the renewal of the same race* in 1904 and the older one proved the best four-year-old of the past season. Indeed all the latest and best Russian records have been set by these half-bred American-Orloff trotters and now the Russian breeders are asking themselves what would happen if their best mares should be bred to our best stallions and the progeny developed under American conditions. Two four-year-olds bred in this cross took records between 2:11 and 2:12 this summer and one got a two-mile record in a race of 4:331} Four-year-olds that can do such stunts as these are not common even in America. A heap of money can be got for the green four-ye: promises a mile in 2:11 or thereby the s that age. mhe gveebev anb &vovt&tnat\ [January 7, 1905 The Experiments to Breed Carriage Horses. The experiment which the U. S. Government wil] make in connection with the Agricultural College of Colorado, in establis'uiDga breed of American Carriage is thus told by Prof. W. L. Carlyle in a com- munication to the 2\'urtli Pacific Rural Spirit: I have your favor of December 19th, and in reply will say that I am very glad indeed to give you any information in my power relative to the work in horse breeding which we contemplate inaugurating here in co-operation with the United States Government. I am enclosing you herewith a clipping from one of our local papers, the result* of an interview which the editor had with myself, which will give you a very clear idea of what the plans and conditions of experi- ment are. The $25,000 appropriated by Congress was for the purpose of establishing experiments in breed- ing in various parts of the country. Of this $25,000, $5000 will be spent in Alabama in developing a type of beef cattle suitable for Southern conditions. $1000 has been given to the state of Maine in connection with their experiments for the development of an American breed of poultry of superior laying quali. ties. The remainder of the appropriation will go to Colorado. We intend to breed the highest type of carriage horse and we are selecting broodmares of desirable strains wherever we can find them, so long as they are American bred and without any ad- mixture of foreign coach blood. We do not antici. pate introducing any foreign coach blood, though later on it may be necessary in order to correct some deficiency, to introduce French coach or Hackney blood. We have already selected some eight or ten mares of the American trotter foundation. Most of these trace directly to Ethan Allen and are somewhat of the old Morgan type with a little more range and size perhaps. We are anxious to fix a type of the highest perfection of carriage horses and to establish a stud book for their registration so that they may be bred pure. We expect to disseminate the ycung stock bred from this stud into the various sections of the country where suitable foundation mares are to be found and after rigid selection, we will register the desirable offspring so as to found the breed as quickly as possible, and yet safeguard the type. I trust that tbis will give you the information desired. I appre- ciate very much your interest in the matter and will hope for your support in the work. Following is the clipping refered to: "The agreement between the United States govern- ment and the state agricultural college which secures to Colorado and Fort Collins another Important government experiment station, was signed at the meeting of the board of agriculture. 'The station is established for the purpose of developing through the breeding of the best stock obtainable, of an American type and breed of horses. "At present nearly all breeds of horses, cattle and sheep are founded in Great Britian, and are being constantly imported to this country. "During the past year millions of dollars have been spent in foreign stallions for breeding purposes in this country. The Bame is true of sheep, though not to so large an extent, and of cattle. "It is believed by those interested in the experi- ments to be conducted, that by scientific breeding and care, a truly American type and breed of carriage horses can be developed from the blooded stock al- ready here, which shall be so adapted and suited to the various conditions here as to be superior to any stock that can be imported There is a strong de- mand for such a breed of animals all over thecountry, and the experiments here will be watched with great interest by horsemen in all parts of the United States. Several applications from private breeders in Cali- fornia and in the East have been received to inspect the stock when secured and kept advised of the pro- gress of the experiments. 1 The idea originated at the meeting of the board of agriculture last year, and E. B. Grubb, Dr. Ayles- wort and Professor Carlyle were appointed a com- mittee to bring the matter before Congress and the Department of Agriculture at Washington. "With the assistance of Congressman Brooks and Senators Teller am Pal 61 on, they were successful In securing an appropriation of $25,000 for use in carrying on experiments in breeding to be expended by the Su;retary of Agricultural through the bureau of animal Industry, Most of this money will be ex- pended here tbis year. "The agreement signed on Thursday provides for co-operative experiments of the Department of Agri- culture of the United States and the Colorado State Agricultural College and provides for the establish- ment of experiments in horse breeding to study the ol i • veloplng American trotting breeds of government agrees to furnish twenty or more mares and one or two stallions of the highest type of horses to be secured from the American trot- ters and their progeny. "These horses are to be selected and purchased by a board consisting probably of Dr. D. E. Salmon, at the head of the bureau of animal industry, representing the government, M. H. Tichenor of Chicago, one of the leading horse dealers and breeders in this country, representing the breeders, and Prof. W. L. Carlyle, representing the college. It has also been asked that Messrs. E. B. Grubb and Jesse Harris act as an ad- visory board. The government will provide an ex- pert groom and pay part of the salary of the expert in charge of the experiments, who will be Prof. Car- lyle. The original stock belongs to the government, while all progeny goes to the college. "The results of the experiments are to be published conjunctively by the Department of Agriculture and the college. The progeny will be disseminated throughout horse breeding centers where suitable foundation stock is to be had io order to build up in this way an American carriage horse. Experiments will also be made in breeding to western mares, such as are found on many of our best farms, to demonstrate to the western people, that with careful breeding and care a founda- tion stock is already here for the production of a high class carriage horse. One reason why the ex- periments were established in Colorado was the well know fact that horses bred in the mountain regions are possessed of great superior quality of legs and feet, owing to the grasses and dryness of the climate, and the possibility, which the conditions of the climate admit, of having the horses very largely out of doors during the experiments as opposed to eastern con- ditions where they must be closely confined during a considerable portion of the year without exercises. It is hoped to be able to secure the entire breeding stud by spring, in order that they may become ac climated before the breeding season commences. The colors to be tried this year will be bays, browns and chestnuts. Most of the breeding of blooded horses in this country has been for speed. It is hoped by these experiments to produce a large sized, beautiful finished horse with style, grace, action and intelligence. News from Victoria. The 2:15 Sires. A stallion's ability to sire 6peed is no longer gauged by the number of his get that can trot a mile against time in 2:29$ on a perfect track with weather picked to suit. The 2:30 list is getting rather obsolete, and stallions that do not have a few representatives in the 2:15 list after a reasonable time in the stud are not counted as great sires of speed The 2:15 list is assum- ing large proportions and occupies many pages of the average weekly journal devoted to horse literature whenever it is printed. There are now fifty stallions that have sired ten or more 2:15 performers and the ex- California sire McKinney leads the list. These horses and the number of 2:10 performers sired by each is as follows: McKinney 2:11 J : 34 Gambetta WilKes 2:19} 32 Alcantara 2:23 31 Baron Wilkes 2:18 29 Brown Hal2:12£ 29 Simmons 2:28 29 Bed Wilkes 2:40 24 Wilton 2:19} 23 Ashland Wilkes 2:17} 22 Bourbon Wilkes 22 Direct 2:054 21 Sidney 2:19} 20 Allerton 2:09} 19 Chimes 2:30| 19 Guy Wilkes 2:15} 19 Robert McGregor 2:171 18 Sphinx 2:20} 18 C has .

Victoria, B. C, Dec. 26, 1904. Breeder and Sportsman:— Messrs. J. T. and J. H. Wilkinson, of Chilliwack, British Columbia, have lost by death their premier stallion, Colloquy 18051, son of Bay Bird, dam Soliloquy by Commodore Bel- mont, second dam by Mambrino Patchen. Colloquy was a very fine stallion in conformation, speed and breeding, and has sired a lot of promising colts in British Columbia. A pair of bay mares by him took first prize at Winnipeg and at every fair and exhibi- tion in Western Canada this past season. Messrs. Wilkinson Bros, are the owners of a fine farm and are building a three-quarter mile race track right on the farm on which they will develop the colts and fillies raised by themselves. The Wilkinson band of brood- mares is a select lot. J. H. Wilkinson is an up-to- date breeder and buys only the best bred mares for his ranch. In an interview with the writer a few days since, Mr. Wilkinson stated that he was now looking for a very well bred stallion, one that had a record as a tried race horse and one that had a good list of performers with standard records. Added to the latter requirements he wants good looks, sound- ness and good disposition. He does not want one bred on quite the same lines as Colloquy, as there are a great many Colloquy fillies in British Columbia be- sides those owned at the Wilkinson farm. Here's a chance for some California owner to sell a good stallion King Patchen hy Mambrino King is owned at Van- couver, B. C, and is siring good colts. His fastest one by the records is Glengarry Patchen, pacer, 2:16}, one of the best looking pacers to be seen anywhere, and a game racehorse. King Patchen puts the beauti- ful finish of Mambrino King on his get and gives them good size as well. This country is short on well bred mares. Just why men will breed mares with one dam, and in most cases no known breeding to a high bred horse like King Patchen and Colloquy and pay forty dollars for the service and expect a racehorse from Buch a union is a poser to me. The writer tried to fix up a colt stake for British Colnmbia, bred and raised three year olds last fall in Victoria. The Association got one entry, and tbe country full of good colts. Still the Association will try again to get up a British Columbia Occident stake for 1904. William Stevenson, owner of Fannie Putnam 2:131, has a four-year-old pacing stallion, sired by Tenny- sonian, son of Electricity. That i6 one of the highest class green pacers that I have ever seen. His dam Fanny Putnam was raced over the Grand Circuit by Andrew MacDowell, and she was a game mare. Later on she raced in California, and was a hard nut to crack. Her colt's name is Captain John and he will also be a hard nut to crack when he comes to a race. No doubt there are a lot of good ones in California, but I have r.o hesitancy in saying out loud that Van- couver Island has one that is a good one, and barring accidents my predictions about Captain John will come good. Keep an eye on this chestnut pacer. Christmas, the sire of Fanny Putnam, is passing his feeble old age in luxury which speaks volumes for his owner, Mr. J. A. Say ward. Christmas has about got ready to drop out. He sired a great many fine horses here, Fanny Putnam being the only one ever trained. All that I have seen are good lookers but of a fractious disposition. Wishing tbe Breeder and Sportsman and every horseman a Happy New Year, I remain, Very truly yours, C. A. Harrison. Death of Acolyte 2:21. The stallion Acolyte 2:21, by Onward 2:25J-Lady Alice, by Almont, died from colic in Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 20, age 20 years. He became celebrated some fifteen years ago when bis breeder, the late Col. R. P. Pepper, of Kentucky, sold him to J. S. Coxey, of Mas- sillon, O., for, it was reported, $40,000. Coxey placed him in the stud and kept him therefor a term of years, but when his vagaries culminated in the or- ganization of "Coxey's army," and its march to Washington, the stallion headed the procession with his erratic owner on his back. Later, when "the General" got into financial straits he parted with Acolyte, who, during recent years had passed through numerous hands. Acolyte sired eighteen standard performers, the fastest being Aerolite 2:09} trotting and Pilgrim 2:10} pacing. Chicago, III., April 3, 1891. Dr. .5. A. Tuttle, Boston, Mass. Dear Sir:— Owing to my dealing in horses, buying and selling them in great numbers. I have used in my own barn and given to my neighbors about sixty to eighty dozen bottles of you- Elixir, and have never lost a horse since I used it. I give a dose to every horse that 1 bring in from the country lor the purpose ol acclimat- ing them, and throign the same have as yet had only the best results. I oagnot say too much for your Elixir. I am never with- out it in my barn. Yours respeotrully, Martin mayerhofer, 118 and 120 Hasting Street. January 7, 1905 1 ®h£ gvee&ev anb &p&vt&man $ THOROUGHBREDS. jj The hoggish action of the Western Jockey Club stewards in refusing dates to the new New Orleans and Esses Park (Hot Springs) clubs has undoubtedly precipitated a turf war of immense dimensions in the Middle West and South. Edward Corrigan now owns the Hawthorne track, has an interest of 8100,000 in . the new New Orleans plant which H. D. Brown was instrumental in building, and has a large interest in the Elm Ridge (Kansas City) track. William Shan- non and H. Devereauxof Essex Park ire great friends of the big turfman and racing magnate, and will un- doubtedly co-operate with him, and it is among the probabilities that the Worth, Nashville and Latonia people will join hands with Corrigan against the "sure thing" men from St. Louis who are trying to form a racing trust in the Middle West and South. Last Tuesday the W. J. C. stewards, by a vote of 3 to 2, refused to revise the objectionable dates except so far as Louisville was concerned, that club receiving an additional five days. The failure to grant dates to the New Orleans people will be joyful news to the men who raced at the Union (St. Louis) track last season. Though having better and fairer racing by far at Union than the Cella-Adler-Tilles crowd fur- nished at their tracks around the Mound City, that fact being indisputable, some 650 horses were placed under the ban by the Western Jockey Club (which is but another name for Cella, Adler, Tilles, John Con- don and C.

There were no less than five very close finishes on Tuesday, Hainault being the only easy winner of the day. Horatius and Preckman ran almost as a team for over a quarter of a mile in the concluding race, former getting the verdict in the last jump by a nose. '3ood horses of the long ago were much in evidence that afternoon, Barrack winning at a mile and fifty yards and Cousin Carrie at six furlongs. Jockey John Bullman is fast "rounding to, " and last Monday rode the two-year-old Daruma and Sol Lichtenstein to victory in clever Btyle. Tuesday he was successful on Barrack. Travers is looming up, riding one winner on Monday and two on Tuesday. Ralph H. Tozer. From Los Angeles. After two severe rain storms and a spell of cold weather, the weather seems to have returned to its normal condition of bright and sunny days with no chill in the air. No day in June could have been fairer than New Years Day and the largest crowd whichever passed through the turnstiles at Ascot Prrk was on hand to see a program of high class events run off. The Rose Handicap with a value of $1870 to the wiuner was won by Luckett, with High Chancellor in the place and Eva G. third. Fossil also of a selling race paying $425 for the gelding. Frank Reagan also took a hand in the game running up Blissful from $500 to $1500, the mare was retained by Mr. Bon6eck, her owner, but as Mr. Reagan was second with McGrathiana Prince he did very well out of the race. There has been quite a lot of rough riding lately and owing to the lack of patrol judges much of it could not be seen from the judge's stand. Hildebrand was finally spotted and a fine of $100 was promptly imposed which has since tended to keep the jockeys in order. The purses have been raised -and now no race is given for less than $400. On New Year's day there were eighteen books and three field books in opera- tion, which is the record for this track. On last Thursday twenty head of yearlings, two-year-olds and three-year-olds, the property of Porter Ashe were sold by auction. These youngsters were the get of Homer, Jackson, Ruinart and imp. Tarcoola, and averaged $145, which was a very fair price consider- ing they were mostly by untried sireB. Geo. B.

Someday I may write a history of these "magnates," who, not so many years ago, were engaged in a busi- ness that ought to have kept the police pretty busy, and later on ran an electric light night track, the memory of which leaves a brown taste in one's mouth . Turf "outlaws" themselves for a long time, these men managed to gather enough coin to buy a control- ling interest in three tracks in and around St. Louis, were taken into the Western Jockey Club fold, and now dictate the policy of that organization. How- ever, out of their piggish actions may oome great good to the turf in their part of the world, for doubt- less a new governing turf body will be evolved that will give breeders a voice in its management. That Lady Walker, a very promising filly by Oakwood- Cora Belle who displayed great speed, running the three furlongs in thirty-five seconds. Lady Walker is owned by J. E.

The Steeplechase was marred by an accident in which Jimmy Coffey's gelding Galanthus broke his neck over the first jump. The steeplechasers here do not amount to much and most of them have difficulty in getting over the jumps and staying the distance. Last Saturday the Mt. Lowe Handicap was run off and was the occasion of the re-appearance of Cruzados who has not been started in a race since last spring; this horse with 118 lbs. spreadeagled his field winning by himself in a common canter with Fossil ten lengths away and such good ones as John F., Tyrolian, Fire- ball, Luckett and Tim Payne strung out behind him. Cruzados set a heart breaking pace, running the first half mile in :47J over a muddy track, and finishing out the six furlongs in l:14J;heseemsto have returned to his old form and reflects great credit on his new Trotting in Austria. Mrs. Andy McDowell, formerly of California, but now a resident of Austria where her husband is train- ing a large string of trotters for a wealthy Austrian, writes as follows to the Trotter and Pacer in regard to the racing there: Racing in Austria is principally run on the handicap system, and in most respects it is interesting, but as with our racing at home it has its drawbacks which the rulers of the sport are always endeavoring to over- come. The principal obstacle is the starting of the fields. In many instances there are three tiers of horses starting from the same post, and as they must all circle in one direction until they head the starter simultaneously it causes an endless amount of turning, which becomes so tedious and tiresome that one wonders at the immunity from accidents and also wonders at the patience displayed by the judge, who must needs be a master hand to handle a field of horses that at times are scattered over the track for a distance of over three hundred metres. The system in question makes many American horses which have achieved marked success at home practically worthless for racing purposes here, as so much turning spoils all the chances of a double gaited horse, which, if sent away on even terms with the field and well on to his stride could not be induced to make a wrong move thereafter. Djring the progress of the season here there are occasionally heat races, and I have noticed that on the days when these occur the crowds are peiceptibly larger, and the spectators seem to show a marked in- terest in the events before menticned. In my opinion, if the club conld be induced to give one or two beat the new order will be a boon to breeders, who will train6ri T- H Qooke, who sent him to the post in the races each week throughout the season it would be so have to furnish double the number of horses for mc- ing purposes in the South and Middle West, and it is a source of satisfaction to the writer that this will come about, just as I outlined it in my correspondence from St. Louis last season. The first two-year-old race of the season took place at Emery ville last Monday, January 2d, and was won in fine style by a very handsome chestnut filly named Daruma, from the Napa Stock Farm paddocks of A. B. Spreckels. This fleet youngster, which ran three furlongs over a very heavy track in 0:363 with 111 lbs. up, is by the magnificent young English horse Solitaire (son of Ayrshire) out of Georgia VI by Prince of Norfolk. The Solitaire yearlings averaged 91600 at the New York sale last summer, which, for an un- tried sire's get, was a price almost unprecedented. They were grand lookers, however, and do not belie their appearance, apparently. Mr. Spreckels was mightily pleased over the victory of Daruma, and had a substantial wager down in addition. The sec- ond horse in the race, Sir Wilfred, ran a winning race himself from a start not of the best, and had been highly tried in private. He is by the splendid Or- monde horse, Ossary, from Plumeria (dam of Shell- mount) by imp. Eagle's Plume. Plumeria is an own sister to May W. and Dora I. Thus two new sires came to the front with rapid bounds, and it is my be- lief that both will take a prominent place in thebreed- ing history of the Golden State. Claude added another grand viotory to his long string on Monday in the New Year's Handicap, one mile and a furlong. With 132 pounds up, the little bay horse was badly interfered with on the far turn by Modicum, but came like a cyclone upon a Kansas shanty in the homestretch, catching Bombadier a few yards from the finish and beating him out a scant neck amid the cheers of an admiring multitude. Rector, an English gelding by Crowberry-Lenten pink of condition. Last week Green Morris's two-year-old filly, Gold Rose, carrying ninety-five pounds, broke the track record for a mile running the distance in l:38f. She ran the six furlongs to the head of the stretch in 1:12*1 and thereafter was not urged; had anything been able to give her a race there is no question but what she would have run close to the world's record. Thii makes six consecutive wins for her and a few days after she was started in a two-year-old handicap with 122 pounds in the saddle, this race was supposed to give a line on her weight carrying abilities as she had always carried lightweight. Unfortunately she was left at the post and the question as So how good a mare she is, is still unsettled. Things are pretty lively here in the selling race line and an owner when he enters a horse is rather doubtful as to whether he will get him back out of the race or not; this state of affairs was inaugurated by J. J. McCafferty who claimed Funnyside for $575. Sam Doggett retaliated by running up Emperor of India to $2000 and securing him at that price. Chub was then claimed by W. L. Austin for $1275; he ran once in the colors of his new owner and was then claimed by J. J. McCafferty for $1225 making three ownerships of the horse in one week. Dutiful, the wise grey horse, formerly in McCafferty 's stable was purchased by R. Turner, out of the selling race which he won last. Andrew Mack after his win was run up to $1905, and retained by Mr. Turner at that figure. Emily Oliver was claimed by Al Gooden for $525 and was a bargain at the figure named. After his race on Tuesday Instructor was claimed by H. Stover who Becured him for $825 but afterwards returned him to his owner. Laureates was claimed by Jas. Frayling after winning on Friday, the price paid was $600. this is the second horse Mr. Pelter has lost in two days but when spoken to on the matter expressed himself as having no kick to make as it was part of the game. J J. McCafferty also secured Jingler out thoroughly approved by the public that that plan of racing would become thoroughly established, as identical with the racing interests, and would be the salvation of many a good norse, as the distance would be shorter and the time materially faster. This latter item I regard as an important factor, as fast time always infuses enthusiasm into a crowd, and is one of the features which have made trotting in America one of the foremost sports in the world. Age of Kendall's Spavin Cure. There is a peculiarity about the advertising of Kendall's Spavin Cure which we would be glad to have our readers note. Almost without exception the advertising is based on testimonies of users. Our readers, who have been lamiliar with it in theie columns for years, have noted lhat its character does not change. This is undoubtedly good policy in the Dr. B. J. Kendall Company. It is their peculiar good forlune to have an army of good users of this remedy who have not be^n without it for many years, and many of them have been using it to the exclusion of ail other methods to cure their horses of spavins, ringbones, curbs, splints, wounds, lamenesses, etc. It is no uncommon thing to read testi- monials from those who have used Kendall's Spavin Cure for fifteen or twenty years. It has been now about thirty years since the remedy was* comp unded. It has been the most popular remedy of the kind all that time. It has attained a wonderful popularity. There are calls for it everywhere and we venture that there is hardly a drug store iu the country where it is not sold. It is remarkable that it should have continued so univer- sally popular for so long a time. No other remedy has. And yet why should it not? Originally compounded by the noted veteri- nary surgeon. Dr. S J Kendall, and used by h m in his practice in treating the above named horse ailments, it proved to bo almost an infallible remedy. These ailments are just asoorrmon now as they were in Dr. B. J. Kendall's day. The remedy is the same. It is still manufactured by the Company which leaves the veterinarian's name. For thirty years it has been proving itself to be of highest worth The Company is wise to avail themselves of the record it has made in their advertising. Every reader of this paper who owns a horse should procure a copy of the free book entitled "A Treatise on the Horse and His Diseases" Get it of your druggist or write the Dr B J. Kendall Company for it at the address given in the advertisement. A Good Investment For any horse owner is made when he buys a supply of Craft's Distemper & Cough Cure. This treatment has been so effective uniformly in driving out the distemper germs that it is now oom- monly known as the sure cure for the influenza, and especially adaoted for coughs, epizootic, catarrhal fever, pinkeye, shipping fever and kindred germ diseases It is not advisable to wait until the horse is sick. This liquid is a preventive which may be given regularly twice a week with the food and acts as a tonic to bnsce up the horse with vigorand to bar from its system l! germs which are so undesirable.

Game Warden Baker has filed with Governor Chamberlain his annual report, showing work of the past year. An important feature of the report is the discussion of the disappearance of game in the state, and how best to prevent it He suggests that for five years the sale of upland birds should be prohibited, and that the limit should be cut from ten to five birds a day. He also suggests that twenty ducks in a day is a sufficiency for any man to kill. With its somewhat startling recommendations, the report is one well worth the attention of every sports- man. The game warden is undoubtedly zealous in his his ideas, but in several respects it will be seen he advocates too extreme measures. It reads as follows: Few people realize that the fish and game of a state are among the most attractive and profitable re- sources. This is mainly due to the fact that very few persons have given the matter any consideration. Almost every person either enjoys the gun or the fishing rod and will embrace every opportunity to take a shot or cast the fly; but the matter of protect- ing or preserving the game and fish is never seriously considered. Tbis condition in Oregon arises from the fact tnat we have plenty and "abundance." Very few ever think of the future or what will become of the fish and game if not rigidly protected, 'ihey care and think ooly for the present. The grandest and finest of Oregon's game animals, the elk, are not very numerous. I recommend that they be protected entirely for the next ten years. During the last year two parties have been convicted for the unlawful killing of elk; two more are now under indictment by the grand jury for the same offense. In some cases parties have been known to take only the teeth, after having killed the elk, leav- ing horns, hide and m^at in the mountains In some of the remote parts of the state the deer skinner still pursues his infamous practice of killing for tbe bides. It is impossible to reach many of these oasee, owing to cost of making these long and ex- pensive trips in tho mountains. Many convictions have been secured for violating the deer law during tbc last year. The practice of the "game hog, "who, regardless of the law, chases deer with hounds at all seasons of tho year, should be the subject of vigorous reful legislation. Many of those hunters are too lazy to hunt and rely upon dogs to do tho work, while they sit on the bank of some stream, or upon some runway, waiting (or tho deer to make its ap- pearance, and at tbe same time they are willing to that they aro after cougar or wolves. "The 'ith dogs should be permitted during >nlb o( October of each year. I earnestly sug- iiat during iihe months o( April, May, June and July all dogs seen chasing deer he killed, and the killer be exempt Irom prosecution. During tho months of April and May, the gravid female deer are not in condition to protect themselves. Female dee.' should be protected at all times. The cougar is a great destroyer of deer. A bounty should be placed upon each cougar killeu. The timber wolf in some localities Is also very destructive. The wildcat destroys many fawns. Many alleged cases of violations of the game laws are, upon a close investi- gation, found to be untrue— almost always greatly ex- aggerated; in some the spirit of malice is the moving cause of complaints. During this year, reports concerning the Mongolian or China pheasant are very conflicting as to the num- ber of these birds From some counties reports come to this office that they are more numerous than last year, while others report less. The only reason I can give for this is, that the farmer and his boys and many city hunters in some parts of the state are more addicted to hunting than in others. The question of how best and most effectually to protect the upland birds of Oregon is one that is hard to solve. The limit of one day 's hunt should be five birds only. The use of the dog should be prohibited for three years, or, if permitted at all, confine the time to the last 15 days of the open season. Referring to the Oregon native pheasant he says: These biras have been on the decrease for tbe last fifteen years. They should be protected entirely for five years. Grouse are more numerous than last season owing, I think, to the extra good season for hatching and raising the young. Quail are in some parts of the state greatly on the incease. I think from reports from Josephine and Jackson counties this is the case. Much credit is due the sportsmen of these two counties for their true sportsmanlike manner of obeying the law. No two other counties so far as birds are concerned can show the same record. Klamath and Lake counties are noted for their ex- tensive breeding grounds for ducks, lam pleased to report that this section of the state has been well guarded through the vigilance and industry of Deputy Game Warden M. E. Hutchison, assisted by E. G. Hodson, of Douglas county. The California poacher is fast becoming a back number in and about the lakes of tbe southeastern part of Oregon. The late wet weather and extreme high wafer las* spring and early summer was a great drawback to the breeding birds in that section. The law permitting one hunter to kill fifty ducks in one day, is a shame and a disgrace upon the statutes of any state. Twenty is a large and sufficient number for any one hunter to kill in one day. Geese should be killed at any season, but prohibited at all times on nesting or roosting places. The limit of one day's catch is 125 of mountain and brook trout; this should b6 changed. Seventy-five would be an ample catch for any true fisherman. I think salmon trout should be canght during October and November of each year, and with hook and line- only. Bass are being caught in many streams in Oregon and are, I think, increasing very rapidly. The farmer is in a great many instances very much opposed to the game laws and their enforcement. Frequent complaints are made against the "city chap's" utter disregard of the rights of the farmer over his own premises. The practice of some hunters using the wire nippers with which to effect an en- trance for his dog through the farmer's fence, is enongh to make the farmer feel that he has been greatly wronged, in this case. However much the farmer may be wronged, he should enforce the tres- pass law upon all hunters for a few times, and then they would respect both the law and the farmer. When the hunter and the farmer are convinced that the laws protecting game are for all, then and not till then will the game laws be respected. The Oregon Fish and Game Protection Association, of Portland, has done and is doing much by way of enforcing the law relative to the protection of game, and especially I desire to mention in this connection the name of Mr. A. E. Gebhardt, who is vigilant and untiring in his work. Twelve or fifteen deputies should be employed in this state. The question to be considered next is how to Becure money enough to pay these men. They will not work without some compensation. This question has been discussed throughout the state by many hunters and by those who do not hunt, yet who are deeply interested in game protection. Tbe way the means can be obtained is to license all hunters, both resident and nonresident. This Bystem is not simply to protect the game, but mainly to secure a sufficient sum of money with which the game warden and his deputies may be enabled to enforce more vigorously the laws. The following data shows the amount of money raised by the license syBtem in some of the states for the year 1903: Colorado, 815.184; Nebraska, $37-14; North and South Dakota, $8680; Illinois, 895,000; Michigan, $14,295.75: Wisconsin, 878,164; Idaho, 812,370; Washington, $14,982. Among many laymen not familiar with field trials it is the belief that quail are wantonly killed, such is not the practice nor is it a necessary condition of the sport. In field trials the gun is not used to kill tbe birds when they are flushed, retrieving is not in the curri- culum of a field trial dog's course of education. Ihe gun, however, is used with a blank cartridge, and when aimed and fired at a flying bird it is done for the purpose of testing the dog's steadiness "to shot,"as it 1b termed. Now and then, in my wanderings through the Blue Mountain forest, I come upon a gigantic blackish- brown deer, which, by reason of the great length of its yellowish-gray legs.stands higherthan a tall horse. It is clothed in coarse, bristly hai>", longest on the neck and shoulders, and it has a rather ugly, over- hanging nose, which distinguishes it at once from all other kinds of deer writes Ernest Harold Baynes. From the throat of the male hangs a long hair- covered appendage known as the "bell," and in the fall and winter he has also a pair of wide-spreading antlers, very heavy and much flattened or"palmated." He stalks the forest through undergrowth and over fallen trunks, like a king of giants, or, if alarmed, he speeds away at an amazing swift swinging trot, and with a crashing which resembles the sound of falling trees. Such is the moose, the largest of all deer, liv- ing or extinct. The moose is chiefly an animal of the northern woods, the southern limit of the range being the head of Green river, Wjoming. It is also found in northern Maine, New Brunswick, southern Canada, Idaho, British Columbia, Alberta, Athabasca, Yukon and Alaska. It is strictly a dweller of the forest, seldom venturing to treeless plains. It lives for the most part by browsing on the leaves, twigs and bark of trees, particularly young trees In order to reach the tops of tall sapliDgs, the moose rears up against them, straddling them with his long legs, and literally riding them down. He is fondest of birch, hemlock, alder, aspen, willow and maple. He also eats mosses and lichens, but his legs are so long that when he wishes to eat from the ground he is obliged to kneel. In summer he frequents the shores of quiet, tree-bordered lakes and streams, where he eats the lily-pads, and splashes himself with water, possibly to keep off the flies. In May, the "cow," as tbe female moose is called, gives birth to a long-legged, ungainly, tawny-colored calf, to protect which the mother will fight any wood- land creature to the death. She has no antlers, but she can use her great sharp hoofs with the skill of a prize fighter, and has been known to pound to death a large black bear, and fairly trample his body into the ground. The calf stays with his mother for two or three years, or until he wanders off to seek a mate for him- self. One day last summer I came suddenly upon a cow moose, standing knee deep in a shallow pond, while from beneath her neck her grotesque-looking calf peered out at me with eyes wide open, as if with astonishment. I hurried home and returned with a camera, but when I reached tbe spot they were gone Like all American deer, the "bull" moore sheds and renews his antlers every year. They become full- grown, hard and sharp, about the 1st of October, the beginning of the breeding season. At this time of year, the bulls are very savage, and not only fight furiously among themselves, but are apt to attack anything or anybody who comes in their way. The call of the "bull" is a long-drawn bawl, with several loud grunts at the end If there is a cow with- in hearing, she will answer with a low cry. and the "bull" will come forward to meet her. Hunters often take advantage of this fact, and attract the "bull" by an imitation of tbe call of the cow, executed on a cone- shaped horn made of birch bark. LyiDg concealed on the bank of a lake or stream, they give out the call, and when the bull comes within range they shoot him. But as this trick is usually played at night, and as the bull sometimes gives no warning of his coming until he is almost on the spot, the sport is apt to be dangerous. The bull, at such a time, is in no mood to be trifled with, and unless the hunter is cool- headed and a good shot, the moose is not only willing, but very able to kill him, and a dozen like him, if they happen to be on the spot. Probably the largest moose of wlr ::h there is reliable record was shot by Carl Rungius, the animal painter, in New Brunswick in 1901. This great beast stood seven feet high at the shoulders, and tbe length of its head and body together was nine feet seven inches. The Alaskan moose have the largest antlers, and one pair from an animal shot on the Kenai peninsula has a spread of 78£ inches, and has 34 points. With the dry skull to which they are attached, these antlers weigh 93|- pounds a weight which nothing but an animal of gigantic strength could carry at top speed over the roughest ground and through thickly wooded country. In the winter, when the snow is deep, the moose. sometimes several families together, will gather in a certain section of woodland, and breaking out paths for themselves over a space of perhaps several acres, form what is known as a "yard," where, if not dis- turbed, they may stay for weeks together. But the moose is able to travel well at all ssasons, and even in deep snow his long legs enable him to move at a pace which will astonish any hunter who tries to run him down on snow-shoeB. A wild, free life is tbe only one in which a moose can live and thrive. In captivity it is much less ner- vous than most deer, and is disposed to be gentle and even affectionate. But as a rule it will live but a short time, even though it gets the same food which it had in his native woods This is one of the noblest wild animals in tbe world, and it should be given adequate protection throughout its range. IT IS WOKTH GETTING. The English Stock-Keeper's Christmas edition is a number that we must recommend for tbe attention of fanciers. It is, as usual, full of good things — articles by well-known writers about various breeds and on timely topics, portraits of prominent breeders and fanciers and pictures of a "whole raft" of crack dogs. The "feather" part of the number is also a most readable and interesting feature. January 7, 1905J ©he gvee&ev axtis gt\tovt&man 9 Talks to Dog Owners. EXERCISING. Thia subject, comprises a detail of management with- out attention to which no d~g owner or breeder can hope to be successful. No matter how well a dog may be fed, how elaborate his kennel may be, or how numerous are the comforts provided him, he will never be the animal he might have been if a proper amount of exercise is denied him. No doubt some breeds, and occasionally individual members of the game variety, will flourish upon less exercise than others will, but all dogs require a certain amount, and this is an impregnable fact which all beginners should remember when selecting a breed, else they will most assuredly regret their neglect of these words of advice. EXERCISING BIG DOGS. The varieties of large dogs demand in all probability more attention in tho way of exercise than the medium weight and smaller breeds; and for the simple reason that unless their limbs are strengthened so that they can support the weight of the huge bodies they have to carry, the ankles and hocks give way, and the feet become splayed and unsightly. Good sensible feeding, of course, goes a very long way in contributing towards the strength of the limbs, but adequate ex- ercise is simply indispensable, and it should take the form of long walks at a moderate pace. Big dogs will not as a rule, gambol about and enjoy themselves after the manner of a Terrier; and oven if some do so, it is the long slow drag that lays the muscle on and adds strength to the limbs and joints. At the same time there is no wisdom in tiring a dog out day after day by taking him a grind that it is beyond his strength to accomplish without being knocked up. An hour or so four days a week, a longer period on the other two week days, and a rest in the kennel yard or paddock on Sunday will keep any dog fit; but this is the al- owance for adults. Growing puppies require less at *a time at all events, and a couple of half-hours on the roads will usually suffice to help them along; but, of course, circumstances alter cases. It is most desirable that the walks should be on the road, and not on grass, as the former kind of exercise hardens the soles of the feet and helps to keep them in shape if the work is slow. Oa the other hand, if it is too fast, the feet get knocked about, and the concussion renders the ani- mals liable to develop splints, as in the case of a horse, this being an undoubted fact of which possibly every dog owner may not be aware. EXERCISING MEDIUM-SIZED DOGS. The smaller varieties, such as Collies and, of course, Terriers, all benefit by work on the road, but it may be faster, and so when the animals are old enough they can be allowed to follow a trap or cycle, but it is as bad for them as it is cruel to bring them along for several miles at top speed. Still more reprehensible is tb.B practice, adopted by some unthinking people, of fastening their unfortunate dogs to the axle of a vehicle, beneath which they are compelled to travel long distances in a cloud of dust or over rough stones without an opportunity for relieving the wants of nature This is not exercising dogs, but sheer bar- barity on the part of their owners; but happily this practice is now less common than it used to be, prob- ably because the management of dogs is better under- stood. A very effective way of making the active varieties to take exercise is to teach them to run after a ball; and by this means anybody can persuade his dog to run miles in a small yard in the course of half an hour. The way to begin is to get a second person to help you, and by throwing the ball from one to another, the dog will usually soon acquire a desire to partici- pate in the fun and learn to retrieve the object, after which the work is a one-handed task. Some people, when they keep game Terriers, succeed in inducing the animals to take a great deal of exer- cise by hanging up a rat in a wire trap just beyond his reach, and the animal will devote hours, if allowed to do so, jumping up in his efforts to reach the vermin. Even a cat's skin suspended at the end of the pole will accomplish, in the case of some Terriers, similar results; but precautions should be taken to prevent this jumping exercise being continued for too long a time, else the dogs will become discouraged by their want of success and decline the exercise another time. GENERAL ROLES FOR EXERCISING. It is never a wise thing to allow dogs to stand or lie about in the cold if they come back to kennel over- heated. Very likely they can do so upon many occasions with impunity, but the day may come when a valuable animal contracts a chill on the eve of a show, and then regrets are useless. It is also a very bad thing to send dogs back straight to their sleeping quarters whilst they are wet, and consequently they should be, at all events, partially dried with towels if they have been out in the rain. It is always most de- sirable, likewise, to examine the feet thoroughly, in order to satisfy oneself that they have not been cut by glass or a piece of sharp stone, or that a thorn has not lodged itself in the pad or between the toes. Pre- cautions of this kind may perhaps appear absurd, but accidents will happen, and it is therefore worth while taking a little trouble rather than run the risk of having a good dog laid by for weeks at a time when he may be wanted. The advantages derived from a run in a meadow at night directly after feeding have already been referred to, but this final scamper is so thoroughly enjoyed, and entails so little trouble that when the weather permits it ought not to be denied the occupants of a well regulated kennel, whose master desires to do his best for his dogs. TRIMMING. Unfortunately for the good name of the dog world, the gentle art of illegitimately improving the appear- ance of dogs is largely practiced by members of both the exhibiting and non-exhibiting communities. Some of the "improvements" to which the animals are subjected are unquestionably of a most reprehensible character, whilst others, though prohibited by the letter of the laws which govern dog sbows, are by comparison quite trivial offences. Still, the very mildest form of improvement is calculated to mislead the uinitiated, and consequently would-be purchasers not blessed by much experience should use every en- deavor to discover if any trimming has been resorted to before they conclude a bargain with a stranger of whom they know nothing. At the same time it is a subject of very great regret to many practical dog owners that the framers of the anti trimming regu- lations used no effect to classify the offences in such a way that the importance of each would be realized by the public. For instance, no reasonable man could possibly regard as equally objectionable malpractices the dyeing of a dog's coat ana the rubbing of a few drops of oil on the jacket; yet both operations are dis- allow?d by the laws of dog shows, and each is liable to be visited by the severest penalties. Amongst the common offences in the dyeing line is the disguising of superfluous hairB by the application of walnut juice or other coloring matter the shade of which assimilates with that of the coat. Red-colored dogs, such as Irish Terriers, are bathed in water which is tinged with permanganate of potash in order to produce the tint desired; objectionable tan hairs in black and tan Terriers are concealed beneath a coating of lunar caustic; and in tbe case of toy breeds the art of the illicit animal painter is practiced freely. Such practices cannot be too strongly condemned; and on the face of it, it is absured to regard the ap- plication of a few drops of brilliantine or oil to the hair of a long-coated dog as a serious offense. The coats of dogs, just as the hair of human beings, are apt to become dry and dull at times, and if neglected will become completely out of order, and yet if we are to follow the laws of dog shows implicity, the owner who takes such a simple precaution is as culpable as the man who willfully stains the jacket of his dog, — Enqlish Stock-Keeper. DOINGS IN DOGDOM. CHAMPION MEDAL RECE1VJKD. Mrs. C. G Saxe has received the handsome A. K. C. champion medal for the harlequin bitch Princess Harlequin. Princess showed style and quality from puppy class clear down the line. HIS MASTER'S VOICE. A dog worth $35,000 has been on exhibition this week in the show window of a local music store. The dog is an effigy in pure gold and represents the trade mark of The Victor Talking Machine Company— tbe - picture is a familiar one in this country, a Fox Terrier listening to the sounds emanating from a talking machine. The incident which led to the adoption of the picture as an advertising medium was recounted to ue as follows: Bob Gavan, a Sacramento sporting man, prior to a trip to Alaska several years ago, had been given a Fox Terrier puppy by a friend. He thought much of the dog, for the puppy was very intelligent and finally became a close pal to his master who took the dog with him to the Artie gold country. Gavan finally located in Skaguay, so our informant stated, and con- ducted a resort for the entertainment of visitors who were thirsty or who felt inclined to woo the fickle goddess. A ' talking machine" was placed at one end of the bar counter. This instrument was kept going much of the time, greatly to tbe entertain- ment and, in some instances, wonderment of many visitors who were never tired of listening to the latest popular songs, etc., funny scories (?) and sayings ground out by the machine. The dog was as much interested apparently as any one else, for whenever the machine was started he would jump up on the counter and locate in front of the trumpet-mouth just as he is sho^n in the picture. "His master's voice" was not a myth, for one of the discs had the record, and for his special benefit, of the well known voice of his chum and owner. So interesting and amusing were the dog's actions that in due course he became the animate and ver^ popular dual attraction whenever the machine was turned loose. A correspondent foran Eastern magazine happening in the resort one day, brought his camera into play with the result now so well known throughout the country. The picture was a hit from the start, to Terrier fanciers it appeals strongly, as a trait of the breed but not for type. The antithesis of the "hit" is fhown by an irrever- ent cartoonist who drew the dog in his familiar attitude surveying an overturned, empty decanter and labelled the episode "His masters breath." The Alaskan story is ciedited to Mr. Faxon Riordan, Deputy Assistant Engineer of the Construction Department of the Santa Fe Road. DELEGATE TO A. K. C. Mr. W. W. Stettheimer of this city has been elected a delegate to the American Kennel Club to represent the San Mateo Kennel Club. Mr. Stettheimer is an enthusiastic fancier and has a penchant for Fox Terriers. The San Mateo Kennel Club is to be congratulated in having a "live one" to look after its interests at headquarters. GLEN TANA COLLIES. A letter received from Mr. Thos. S. Griffith states: "I see by the papers that the W. K. L. is a thing of the past. You see how very unlucky it has turned out for Marquis not going to Lcs Angeles as he had four winners to his credit and would have been a champion now, only for that unfortunate mix up. "After the Providence show I expect Glen Tana Bounder, Glen Tana Talent and Glen Tana Cracksman home." We have not yet been advised that "the W. K. L. is a thing of the past." Efforts have been made, however, to bring about a coalition of Coast dogdom. Overtures tending that way were made to the Pacific Advisory Board as the Coast representative of the A. K. C. Concessions were asked for and delegates sug- gested on the Coast commit tee — the latter to be elected by clubs represented. So far, the matter is still under consideration. The "unfortunate mix up" above referred to was the direct cause for the disqualification of handler Bradshaw. Glen Tana Marquis was in stud at Bradshaw's kennels for a brief time, a period during which tbe kennels were advertised as under the ownership of a former employee, of Bradshaw's. Neither Marquis nor the youth temporarily in charge of the kennels are now there. SOMETHING GOOD IN BULLS. W. H. Papst took his clever bitch True Blue down to Wandee Kennels this weetc to be served by Ivel Damon. A litter by Damon turned out so well that the daughter of Ch Ivel Rustic will be bred to the Wandee stud dog again. A STANDARD REMEDY. Veterinary Pixine we can recommend for skin ailments, Incised orlascerated wounds. It is a pene- trating, stimulating, soothing, nutritive, absorbing, antiseptic, healing ointment, produces the most effective and speedy results on all chronic and acute inflammatory sores and skin affections. Contains no poisonous, harsh, gritty or mineral substance. It is in combining and manipulating together the purest and most potent animal and vegetable drugs known that makes this the most effective healing ointment on the market. Has greater penetrating power than any other ointment. Heals from beneath the surface by disinfecting tbe parts, subduing inflam- mation and stimulating healthy granulations; not by drying up and. scabbing as do many other veterinary preparations. Sample boxes can be obtained at the office of the Breeder and Sportsman. WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB PREMIUM LIST. The premium list of the Westminster Kenne!

The Pacific Coast Field Trials Club's twenty-second annual trials will begin near Bakersfield on Monday morning. The Derby will be the first stake followed by the All-Age. Members, and Champion stakes. H L. Betten will officiate in the saddle. For each of three stakes there will be three elegant prizes— first, second and third choice to the winner in the order of wins. The beautiful Champion cup must be won twice to ensure permanent ownership. The trophy was originally donated by Will S. Tevis who won it and graciously re donated the cup for competition again in the stake. Hon W. E. Gerber of Sacramento has donated a handsome cup for the winner of second place in this event. Conditions are reported to be most favorable for a good meeting. The class of the Derby dogs is assur- ing for a grand showing. The All- Age is full of vim and quality. The attendance of club members and visiting sportsmen anticipated will be an encouraging recognition of the club's efforts in fostering the sport. Secretary Albert Bet2 will represent the BREEDER and Sportsman at the trials a full report of which will appear in due course, GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. EMPIRE GUN CLUB. Secretary J. B. Hauer reports that at the regular monthly meeting of the Empire Gun Club held Wed- nesday night the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: President, James P. Sweeney, vice-president, Dr. George G. Gere; secre- tary-treasurer, J. B. Hauer; captain, A. J. Webb; lieutenant, W. O Cullen; sergeant it arms, C. A. Bennett. Every officer of the club was re-elected, which speaks in a gratifying manner of the esteem in which they are held by the large membership and the appreciation of the various duties performed by each official. The same committeemen were named hy President Sweeney as are at present handling the club's affairs, namely: Executive committee — Dr. George G. Gere, J. B. Hauer, F. H. Judah, J. Peltier, Con Roman. The club's finances were reported in excellent con- dition. The initiatory fee was raised to $200, begin- ning July 1st, next. Besides enjoying great prosper- ity, the club boasts of having a full membership and a long waiting list. AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT. On Tuesday evening last near Collinsville a serious accident occurred which for the time being jeopardized the lives of six people. The unfortunate mishap was due to the carelessness and stupidity of a rancher who was regularly emoloyed to drive the Montezuma and Black Jack Gun Club memberB and guests to their respective club houses when they visited their shoot- ing grounds for a duck hunt. The route from Collins- ville to the club houses is over an adobe road that in soveral places is steep, has abrupt turns, or deep banks on the outer side of a grading, making it a dangerous driveway in the dark. The party in the veniole were Mr. and Mrs. W. \V. Richards, Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Walsh, J. G. Ferguson, all of this city and O'Neal the driver. Starting from the Collinsville wharf in the dark, Richards protested against the drive without a lantern. O'Neal insisted that he knew the road and he could get safely to their destination. With some misgiving and after further insistence upon getting a lantern the team drove on safely and speedily, until arriving at a part of the road where the bank shelved steeply three or four feet on one side, here the horses left thf driveway in the black darkness, with the i [ the wagon was tipped over the .hank and ckj occupants spilled out. The ladies were both badly bruised. Mr. Richards escaped luckily from getting injured. Mr. Walsh sustained a severe fracture of the left arm and contusions of the face while Mr. Ferguson, who is an older man was found to be seiiously injured internally. Medical aid was hastily summoned from Rio Vista, the physician arriving several hours after the acci- dent. Next day the party came back to this city on the first down boat. Mr. Ferguson is now in a hospi- tal and will probably be laid up for some time. Mr. Walsh is getting along comfortably. The ladies, though severely jarred and bruised, will soon be all right again. Mr. Richards is to be congratulated upon his narrow escape from painful injury. The carelessness and obstinacy of the driver cannot be too severely condemned. A VETERAN SPORTSMAN GONE. In the passing away of Hon. Thos. J Sherwood at Marysville, on December 22d, the sportsmen of this State have lost a staunch advocate and active worker in the interest of fish and game protection. Mr. Sherwood, years ago, recognizing the necessity of prompt action, introduced the first gamelaw that was enacted in California. He took a prominent part in all deliberations of the California State Sportsmen's Association and was deeply interested in the revision of State laws affecting the protection of game. Besides being a most loyal friend and genial comrade he was also an exceptionally liberal man and performed many kindly and charitable acts for old pioneer friends of Northern California. For fourteen years he was the editor and proprietor of the Marysville Evening Democrat and had since 1860 filled many public offices of trust and responsi- bility with honor to himself and benefit to his con- stituents. He waB a native of New York state and had resided in Marysville since 1858, being 70 years of age at the time of his demise. springs are used and secured to the rear extremity of the tube. Proper provisions are made for the operation of the shell extractor and other parts of the gun. In the double-barrel shotgun the rifle-tube attach- ment may he inserted and remain in one ol the barrels and ready for instant use, while the remaining barrel will be left free for service in discharging shells con- taining shot. In single-barrel shotguns the rifle-tube attachment may be applied when found desirable. GAME BIRD IMPORTATION. A special investigation made by the Department of Agriculture on the workings of the Lacey Act shows that the game birds imported into the United States under the permits granted under the act number almost 24,000. There were about 4000 pheasants, al- most 17,000 quail, 750 partridge, 1473 ducks and geese and 477 miscellaneous birds. The pheasants came chiefly from Canada and Bel- gium, the quail from China, partridges from Ger- many. England furnished pheasants and a few partridges. China and Japan sent pheasants and water-fowl. The pheasants wereohiefly the Mongolian and Eng- lish, and were imported for game preserves. The partridges were nearly all the gray partridge of Europe. Among the duck and geese were mandarin and wood ducks. About 230 swans and 65 capercailzie were brought in also. Six importations of the eggs of game birds were made and about 2000 eggs were set under pheasants and partridges here and hatched. The results of attempts with eggs were highly unfavorable in 1903 because the severe weather weakened the young birds excessively where it did not kill them outright; and the scarcity of food that followed finished almost all the yearlings that managed to survive the bad weather. Breeders do not feel discouraged, however, be- cause they all realize that 1903 did not offer a fair season for a test. This method of propagating game birds is successful in most countries and, no doubt, will prove equally so here. It is, of course, vastly more economical than the method of importing grown birds and turning them loose. For every dozen adult birds thus liberated a couple of hundred birds can be produced by using the eggs. The ring-necked pheasant has done so well in Oregon that it is announced officially that the bird has become acclimated and is now to be viewed as a reliable part of the game of the State. Unfortunately, the method of raising pheasants in other states has been so costly that most of them have stopped it. Thus, Ohio appropriated S9000 between 1900 and 1902 for this work and distributed 3919 eggs and 6575 pheasants. In 1902 the appropriation ran out, and since then nothirg more has been done. TWO WEAPONS IN ONE. A recent invention, consisting of an elongated tube, having the rear extremity enlarged and shaped to conform to the contour of the rear extremity of the barrel into which it is fitted, makes it possible for hunters to have both a rifle and shotgun in the one weapon at considerable less expense than two distinct guns would cost. The rear enlarged extremity of the rifle-tube terminates in a rear circumferential flange which is slipped into the cartridge-ring recess in the rear end of the barrel, and to sustain the tube in tight frictional engagement with the barrel one or more SMALL BORES BECOMING FAVORITES Duck hunters of experience have marveled more than a little at the "small-bore craze" which now bids fair to run the same course in shotguns that has already been traversed in rifled arms. At a period not so remote but that it is still fresh in the memory of every veteran of the scattergun, the ten-bore was universally conceded to be as light a weapon as was compatible with success in duck shoot- ing and not a few hunters clung to the double eight bore as the arm par excellence for this exacting branch of sport. There were more ducks in those days than now, and the birds were less difficult to get because being more plenty they were not hunted down as closely as in the last decade. Therefore a respectable bag required less of a gun and itB pointer than in the present times of comparative duck scarcity, yet the sportsman of today is killing his birds with a smaller, and presum- ably less powerful arm than formerly. Whether the difference is more imaginary than real, only the men who have used both large and small-bore guns are prepared to point out, and the majority of them affirm that the little pieces, though they require closer hold- ing, kill as far as any. The transition from the eight and ten-bore duck guns to the twelve gauge has already been experienced, and it is bo marked that in all probability not a dczen good hammerless ten bores could be bought new in this city today, the demand being entirely for a smaller arm. In fact, a twelve gauge of a certain grade is worth just double what a ten bore of the same face value will bring. American sportsmen are world-famed for their enterprise as well as for their antipathy to a conserva- tive course in their amusements. Fads are constantly coming and going, and many believe the present rage for sixteen and twenty bores will run the usualcourse, but there ars so many sound reasons in their favor that converts are being made every month, and so long as this remains the case, the small guns will stand high in public favor. Many who use the small bores on quail regularly have not yet learned their power in duck shooting. The salient features of a sixteen gauge's work on a duck marsh are its surprising range and the uniform cleanness with which it either kills the birds or misses them entirely. It would appear that the entire charge has killing force, as there are fewer body-shot birds dropping hundreds of yards away than are lost with a twelve. A gunner must be more careful in his aim as he has less shot-spread to fallback upon than with a twelve, though after all the difference is not as great as many imagine. Most users of sixteens shoot an ounce of shot at ducks, and back it with a propor- tionate load of dense or bulk smokeless powders, Du Pont, "Infallible," "E. C", Schultze and C. P. W. being the favorites Users of twelve bores realize that ducks to be killed clean must be "cen- tered" by the charge, and those able to do clean work with the larger gun may rest assured that they will get corresponding results with the sixteens, have less metal to carry, and a lighter load of shells. Many maintain the sixteen bore is "quicker" than a twelve. The truth of this probably is that the gun is lighter, and therefore easier to swing well before passing birds. Some shooters complain o a tendency to overlead on this account but such a fault is readily remedied; it is never common in ducking. Just how far the small bore craze will go it will be interesting to note. In England twenty, twenty-four and even twenty eight bores are much used by the wealthy sportsmen, but these guns are aardly likely to become popular where the conditions of shooting are as difficult as in this country. Here there are no beaters to drive partridges over hedges within thirty yards distance. For some uses the twenty bores give good satisfaction, particularly on quail. No More Available.

Cattle having their second pair of per- manent incisors fully up will be consid- ered as exceeding two years and three months. Cattle having their third pair of per- manent incisors cut will be considered as exceeding two years and eight months. Cattle having their fourth pair (corner) permanent incisors fully up and their anterior molars Bhowing signs of wear will be considered as exceeding three years.

Pigs having their lateral temporary in- cisors shed and the permanents appearing will be considered as exceeding fifteen months. Pigs having their lateral permanent in- ciBors fully up will be considered as ex- ceeding eighteen months. Feed of Brood Sows. Mutton Chops. Mexican Stock Inferior. Mexican cattle are of inferior grade i and small. In American money the average value of Mexican cattle is $7.27 per head. If they were of fair grade, it would pay to market them in the United States, even with the border duty added. Mexican sheep are worth relatively less. The average value of sheep is 80 cents per head, that of goats 78 cents and hogs ' $1.57 in our currency. That indicates both smallness in size, thinness in con- dition and general inferiority in quality. If this stock had any real merchantable condition it would pay to slaughter it in Mexico, pay the duty on the meat and ship the carcass across the border. As a matter of fact the animals are unsalable because of their grade and condition. The relatively few "bred up" stock are expensive in Mexico. It seems to be necessary to say again that it is a costly mistake to feed a sow liberally just before she is to farrow, and especially if Bhe has a large udder and gives other indications of developing milk freely. And it iB a fact that such feeding is more dangerous with older and large sows than with cows, for sulphur milk can be drawn from them as it can- not be Irom sows, and with the last milk fever and maybe pig eating will result. — Farm Stock and Home. The Milker. The milker Bhould be clean in person and ways and perfectly healthy. If not he may throw off germs of disease in breathing or coughing, says Prairie Farmer. If his breath is contaminated with tobacco the milk cannot entirely es- cape contamination, and if his hands are soiled the milk must be dirty. Sulphur, or snuff, rubbed through the fleece, will destroy ticks. The best single grain for breeding sheep is oats. Bran is also good for breeding ewes to stimulate them and produce strong lambs. Corn should be restricted to the fatten- ing flock, and then must be fed with a nitrogenous food such as clover hay. Timothy hay is not suited to the needs of the sheep; digestive disorders occur when timothy hay is fed, which often re ■ suit in the loss of the sheep. Clover and mixed hay may be fed to the flock with good results. A few neglected sheep will eat up the profit of several good ones. Get rid of the unprofitable ones andgive theothers good care. The manger question for feeding rows is an extremely difficult one. We would be pleased to have suggestions from feedera. They should be so arranged as to be thoroughly cleaned.

What does it really cost to feed cattle, and is there a reasonable profit in the business? I will give my expe.ience. and hope that some kind feeder will reciprocate. For our present purpose, no account is taken of interest on the money invested, the care of the stock or the use oi the yards. The expense for the last two items is fully covered by the benefits to the farm. Don't forget this item-the benefits to the farm. Last year I fed ninety-six steerB an average of 8 1-5 months I had ninety- four shotes and raised 203 pigs. The corn- fed averaged 14 6 bushels for each steer per month, and the average gain was fifty-eight pounds per month net Chicago weights over weights paid for when the cattle were bought. The whole gain on the cattle was 45,G0O pounds, and on the hogs 30,280 pounds. If we divide the corn fed between the bogs and cattle in the ratio of their gain— say nothing about the hay, pasture, fodder, etc.— we will have two-fifths of the corn fed to charge to the hogs, and of course three-fifths to the cattle. The whole gain of beef and pork averaged 6.6 pounds for each bushel of corn fed. The coBt of each pound of gain, counting everything, was 5 8 cents, corn costing on an average thirty-four cent. Cattle made a gross profit of $4251.42. HogB made a gross profit of $1863 79. So that on the basis of profits the division of the corn fed should be about as above stated. Whole profit on hogs and cattle, $6115.21. Whole cost of corn, hay fodder and pasture, $4411.70. Net profit for the year, $1603.51. The cattle were sold at about $1.90 over cost price and the hogs at $1 over invoice price. Two years ago I fed 135 steers an aver- age of 7.9 months. The corn fed averaged 12 55 bushels for each steer per month. Net gain fifty-two pounds per month. Whole gain on the cattle waB 55,390 pounds, on the hogs 36,730 pounds. The average gain on the hogs was a little more than the first year given, leaving fully two-fifths of the corn fed to be charged to the hogs. The whole gain for each bushel of corn fed was 6.85 pounds. Net cost of each pound of gain 4 47 cents, corn costing twenty-eight cents The increased gain for the corn fed is accounted for, in part, at least by the fact that this year's ac- count was opened August 16th and closed one year from the next December, thus giving two falls for feed — the best and cheapest time to feed any kind of stock. The low monthly gain is also due in part to the fact that most of these cattle were bought under a heavy shrink. And yet you will observe that a low monthly gain is not inconsistent with a cheap gain. These cattle made a gross profit, of $3984.04 and the hogs $1777.79, so that on this basis the division of corn fed should be about one-third to the hogs. Whole profit, gross, $5761.83, whole cost of corn, fodder, pasture, $4120.50; net profit for the year, $1641.33. The cattle sold at about $1 over cost price, and the bogs at about invoice price. Three years ago I fed fifty-two steers an average of 7.7 months. The corn fed averaged fourteen bushels per month each. Net gain filty-nine pounds per month. Whole gain on cattle 23,720 pounds, on hogs, 13 470 pounds. The gain on the hogs is not up to the average in the other two years ; the reason being that I was short of hogs all the earlier part of the year, and was afraid to buy on account of sickness. The whole gain for each bushel of corn fed was 6.6 pounds, the same as for the first year. Each pound of gain cost 4.2S cents, corn, twenty- six cents. Gross profit on cattle, $2272.23; on hogs, $534 23. Whole profit. $2806.56. Cost of all feed and extra labor, $1590 46. Net profit for the vear, $1216 10. Gain in price on cattle, $1.75 per hundred pounds; h >gs about twenty-five cents per one hundred pounds. Breeding Draft Horses. Do not think you can raiBe a big colt from a large sire and dam unless you feed well while the colt is growing. He should be able to earn his board from the time he is three years old until ready for market. Excepting mares that are kept for breed- ing, a farmer should not keep his horses after they are five years old. I believe in raising horses to sell the same as cattle and hogs or sheep-as soon as they can be gotten ready for market. Good draft horses will pay well for their feed at any time between two and five years of age, and the farmer should alwayB have a younger one to take the place of the one sold. AVe began breeding the draft horse in '90 and believe it has paid us about as well as anything we could have raised for the feed consumed. It costs but very little more to raise a good draft horse than it does to raise and grow a steer and put him on the market fat I leave you farmers to decide which is the most profit- able Bale. I believe the time is not far distant when good draft geldings in good con- dition will sell for as much as they ever did in this country. Feed for big ones, the larger the better, if they are finished np and topped out right. You cannot 'successfully breed or raise horses without exercising good judgment and having the subject thoroughly mastered- Breeders who are successful are those who study and mark out a definite line to follow and then stick to it year after year. Any man The Feet of Horses. An English agricultural journal says that the nature of the soil on which horses are bred and reared has a certain influence on the shape and quality of their hoofs. Horses bred in hilly districts as a general rule possess comparatively upright and small, but very strong and tough feet, while the hoofs of horses reared on marshy and low lying land are of exactly the opposite character, being usually big, more or leas flat or spreading and soft. There is, of course, a considerable amount of difference in the quality and shape of the feet of individual horseB bred under exactly the same conditions of soil. But, broadly speaking, the shape of a horse's foot is in all cases governed to a greater or less extent by the class of Boil on which the animal iB bred and reared. Damp soil causes the production of soft, spongy horn in the feet of young horses, and dryness, on the other hand, favors the growth of tough and closely textured horn. The feet of growing horses reared on soft, 6pongy and damp soil are very apt to become overgrown or badly shaped, owing to the insufficient amount of wear which the horn is subjected to on such soil. In consequence of the horn con- tinually growing and not sufficient of it being worn away the hoofB readily become overgrown, and if this is not remedied by the use of the drawing knife they eventual- ly assume a bad shape. Breeding Stock. A LOAD OF ALFALFA of good intelligence can be successful in some degree in breeding draft horses. Good horses always command good prices, while inferior animals are offered on the market at most any price. In making selection of sire or dam, it is well to take into consideration the constitu- tional vigor, intelligence, muscular power, and, above all, perfect soundness in limb, body and internal organs. These matters must not be overlooked if you desire a good foal. To be successful in breeding horses you must have an intelligent con- ception of the subject, in all its details and requirements. It is a good policy to keep your horses always fat. If you have any horses for sale you cannot afford to offer them on the market in a poor condition. When a thin horse is led out for inspection, he is at a great disadvantage. Purchasers will always pay a higher price for a fat horse. You never saw a handsome horse that was poor and run down. Some men say they would not buy a horse that was loaded down with fat, but the indisputa- ble fact remains that in the public sale ring or in the private stable, the horse that is in good flesh brings by far the best price, other things being equal. No man can tell whether a poor horse can be fattened or not. Now and then some horses cannot be fattened, and the stranger will be- afraid that your thin horse is one of that kind. — Ohio Farmer. -ober up on Jackson's Napa Soda. When young horses are reared on dry uplying land, where the soil is com- paratively firm and hard, the horn of the hoofs wear away at a much more rapid rate than it does in the case of spongv and Boft soil, and there is much less risn of the feet becoming overgrown or assum- ing a bad Bhape. In practice this is simply borne out by the fact that the percentage of cases of badly Bbaped feet is much Binaller among horaes reared on dry and firm soil than it ia among those that have been bred on aoft and marahy land. A Tribute to Scotch Cattle. Poultry in the orchard helps the orchard by destroying insects and scattering manure. A tribute auch as never before has been paid to any breed of cattle, Bays the Breeders Gazette, comes from Britain to the Scotch Shorthorn. The sale season in Scotland has now closed for the year and completed returns Bhow that since Jan. 1, last, 1105 Shorthorns have been Bold at public sale in Caledonia for an average price of $259. Last year the average price of 1004 Shorthorns sold in Scotland at public auction was $165. Considering the condition of the industry in the United States and Canada and the consequent fact that American orders were almost wholly eliminated from the Scotch trade the showing made by the cosmopolitan red, white and roans is re- markable. History proves that while there may be some slight variation, pure- bred cattle are seldom high in one part of the world and very low in another for any very great length of time and the up- ward tendency of prices in Britain mav reasonably be taken as an index of the course of the pedigreed market in the United States. Life of a Dairy Cow. 'The question is asked if high feeding and large production will not wear out a dairy cow in a very few years," saya L. W. Lightly in National Stockman. "I put the question to an old and experienced dairyman and feeder, and his reply struck me aa very sensible. 'The better I fed and cared for the cows the longer they lasted and gave me a good profit.' The dairy cow, as we know her, is a machine to convert feed into milk, and, so far aa we have learned, no cow will work be- yond her capacity under normal con- ditions—that is, unless forced to do it bv drugs or unnatural feeds. In fact the cow that has plenty of easily digested food should last longer than the one that must rustle for a living most of her time, as the body is better nourished with leBS energy expended to get that nouriahment. Experience and observation seem to con- firm this. If the large production of milk and butter is exhauBting to the animal and will tend to wear out the secreting machinery the fact has certainly never been demonstrated." One Bhould aim to use those birds that are fully matured, as from auch the young stock will be of large size and greater vigor than from young and immature birdF. A cock of from two to four years of age, with hena of from one to three years of age, will give excellent results, much better, as a general thing, than from younger stock. Turkeys will often breed well up to five and eix years of age. One should not look for exceaaive weight in breeding stock, but rather for good- aized frame and vigorous conetitution. An over -fat bird is seldom a good breeder. One male bird is sufficient for four to six females, the number varying Bomewhat according to the vigor of the male bird. I have been surprised many times to see breeders sell off their largest and beBt birds on the market and a very large per cent of those who attempt to raise tur- keys are doing this year after year, and keeping the small bir-ds" for breeding, thus they are killing the goose that layB the golden egg. In buying a gobbler or bens, to change the blood, they choose late-hatched, immature birds because they cost less. They sometimes reason that young bens commence laying sooner and do not steal their nesta out as bad aa old hens, not once thinking that two-year-old henB or older give stronger poults and are much easier raised, and will, therefore, raise much larger percent than those raised from poor and im- mature stock, not saying anything of the exceaa of weight you would get. This practice ia not confined to the poor and leaBt intelligent people as would be ex- pected, but, on the other hand, is followed by those well informed, and who appre- ciate and pay large prices for horses, cattle and sheep that are bred in the blue. If such a course was pursued in this stock and followed up very long the best stock in existence would be ruined in a few generationa. To breed from poor or immature speci- mens is a violation of one of the first lawB of breeding. Selection ..at -the best for generations has given us the improved and most profitable breeds of atoek. The hereditary influence of such Belectiona is of great value. The most inferior bird out of such a flock of blood lines may 'throw back" and breed very fine stock and do better than a much finer bird from a haphazard breed strain. But the re- peated selection of inferior birdB for a number of generations makes this in- feriority hereditary. The future of the flock depends almoBt entirely on the parent stock or its ancestry. If valuable birds are used in the breeding, their off- spring will be like them and will amply repay for all your expense and trouble. The best are the cheapest and are none too good.— Norris G. Temple, Focopson, Pa. January 7, 1905J ©ta? gveebsv emit ^povtsmcui 13 Forestry in California. California haa over 28,000,000 acres, or over one-fifth of its total area, under forest cover. Much of this land is finely timbered, and, with forest management, will be increasingly valuable for the wood which it can supply. But in California the forests have another use, which, as is well understood iD that State, ib even more important than the production of timber— to conserve the water supply. The wonderful agricultural development which irrigation has made possible is perhaps the largest fact in California's recent economical history. Because of the need of water and the tea.' of floods public sentiment in favor of forest pro tection in California baB alwayB been well in advance of that in other States, as was conspicuously illustrated after President Cleveland, in 1897, proclaimed the 13 Federal Reserves created at the close of his administration. Everywhere else in the West the opposition aroused was so strong that the proclamation was soon afterward temporarily suspended; but a special exception was made in the case of California, where public opinion was from the first strongly in favor of the reserves. Something less than one-third of the entire wooded area of the State is now embraced in the Federal forest reserves That the remaining 20,000,000 acres of its forests may be made to Berve the public interest in the fullest possible measure, the State nas solicited and secured the co-operation of the Bureau of Forestry in working out a proper forest policy for it. Members of the Bureau have, since July, 1903, examined over 21,000,000 acres of forest and brush lands, and Dy the end of the year the entire State will have been covered. The different types of land-as timberland, chaparral, pasture and agri- cultural land, barrens, cut-over land, and burned land— will be mapped and the stand of timber in each location will be roughly estimated Forest reserves may be increased in number or size, if land most suitable for that purpose is found. But the subject of paramount impor- tance is the prevention and control of fires A good opportunity for experiment along this line was afforded the Bureau by co-operation with the private owner of an 80,000-acre tract, who had previously introduced a crude fire- protection system. A comprehensive plan was outlined and its execution begun. There has not been time for a thorough trial, but its installa- tion has had an excellent effect. The patrolling of the tract has been greatly improved, and the neighbors now vol- untarily report all fires, whether on or off the tract. There has not been a serious fire on that tract this season. This Bplendid showing is an impressive object lesson, it proves the efficiency of intelligent care and of fighting fires at the start. The present fire laws of the State are incomplete and inadequate. One result of the work of the Bureau will be the recommendation of a fire law which, if adopted, will be the best ever passed by any State. The most encouraging fact in forest management is the growing determina- tion of large timberland owners to em- ploy private foresters to handle their holdings. This will ensure a method of lumbering less wasteful than tnat at present practiced, and, more important by far, it will be the means of better protecting the forests and making them yield a continuous crop. Such expert control will be especially valuable in solving the prob'em of the best way to get rid of the slash, which, until burned, is a constant menace to the forests. Ex- tensive experiments in slash burning have already been carried on by the Bureau with satisfactory results. The Bureau agents are also studying the habits and rate of growth of sugar and yellow pine to determine the practi- cability of lumbering so as to secure a second crop. The field work on these studies is now about complete. A report on what growth and returns may be ex- pected from plantations of different spe- cies of gum is nearly ready for trans- mittal. The study of chaparral has led to fruit- ful practical conclusions. It shows in California the same remarkable ability to encroach upon and spread over open country that it exhibits in Texas and else- where in the semiarid portions of the Southwest. It makes a satisfactory watershed cover, and almost constantly replaces a forest destroyed by fire. Its composition varies with aspect and eleva- tion and with damage by fire. The natural reproduction of forest trees has been thoroughly investigated by the Bureau, together with the extent of the forest in the past, the effect of fire upon forest reproduction, the contest between chaparral and forest on burned areas, and the rate of growth of young forest trees. Every State which has large, val- uable forests or a climate which demands extensive irrigation for farming purposes' Bhould, in its own interest, adopt a defi- nite and enlightened forest policy. Work similar to that nearing completion in California should be in progress in at least a dozen other States of the Union right now, if yast timber resources are not to be further ruinously depleted and farming interests are to be properly safe- guarded.— Press Bulletin 77. £.

With poultry the profits are too often estimated solely from the amount of products sold. To make a success one must have healthy fowls and comfortable quarters for them. An average of one rooster to a dozen hens is sufficient to keep during the summer. The flavor of the eggs depends very much on the kind of food given to the poultry.

Not only is horticulture and agriculture taught, but dairying, book- keeping, and poultry They are giying persons of small means opportunity to acquire a working knowledge of lines which will prove highly profitable to them on the farm. o That was certainly a remarkable per- formance for a cow at the World's Fair. She secreted milk at an average rate of one and a half quarts of milk per hour for one hundred and twenty days. The cost of the feed was $36.57. If the milk had sold at five cents a quart, the 8000 quaTts would have been worth $200. should be moved frequently keep the ground occupied clean. Meat, milk, the cereal grains, with plenty of hard bone cut fine will make good poultry if kept free from lice. A good breed is not alone sufficient to make money. Good care, good feed and good quarters are ever necessary. A writer says that nothing is saved by making a little feed go a long way. Feed full rations and secure rapid growth. Some poultrymen have their chickenB weigh two pounds in ten weeks. They feed all the chicks will eat all the time. The natural tendency of fowl iB to eat to repletion and then remain quiet, thus bringing on an excessive overfat con dition. Experiments show that in general the best results are obtained from hens hav- ing from eight to ten square feet of floor space in a henhouse. As often as every Becond year a cock should be brought that is full of vigor and pure blood and be employed to build up the stami la of the flock. In our anxiety to make every edge cut we get too much to do. As a result much of it is not more than half done. The keeping of too much poultry comes under this head. Usually care enough is not exercised with young chicks The mother should be put into a coop for Beveral days, where she should roost at night, and not turned out in the morning until the dew is off. The farmer with large range and scattered feed has a fine opportunity to produce eggs at a small cost. Many of them, by the management of their wives, pay almost all of their incidental expenses by paying some attention to the hens. The continued high price of poultry and eggs argues an increasing demand. There was never so many raised as now. The supply is not equal to the demand, notwithstanding the standard of pro- duction is higher than ever, and every hen is expected to do her full duty. Wherever the coop for young chicks is set it should be high enough to be out of the stream when it rains, or a ditch Bhould be dug around it. Dryness is one of the essential elements in poultry rais^ Ing. «•- Cows can be fed to great advantage with a view to their next lai tation period Cows Bhould have a resting period of about six week The feed ehould be light and nutritious, and reduced to a minimum if the cows are hard to dry off.

The dairy division of the Department of Agriculture haB been assisting in pro- curing butter for the use of the navy and the army by drawing contracts for butter making and supervising their execution. Under this system over 700,000 pounds of butter have been purchased during the year by the Navy Department alone. o Those who expect to pursue dairying should take a short course in some agri- cultural school. If they can not be spared during the winter, they should go during the summer. It is the cap sheaf to a high Bchool education, and fits them for good work from the beginning. The man who compels his cow to stand in the rain and cold may not be surprised if he does not find his milk pail full be- cause there is no particular affinity between the full pail and a hard shower although milk contains a large per cent of water. There is often complaint aoout farm cows. They do not give butter and milk as liberally as he desired. If the cow could talk she would probably make her defense by Baying that she does not receive liberal feed and libera! care. Perhaps one reason many dairy farmers do not get rich is because few men in any busineBB get rich. It is a good business, and there is a comfortable living in it. 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE Trade Marks Designs Copyrights &c.

THE NEW SPEED TRACE and Athletic Field which is now in course of construction in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, the building; of which has been made possible by the generosity of the lovers of true sport in this community, is pictured on our front page this week very much as it will be when finished. It will be one of the unique features of our city, as nothing like it has ever been constructed in any other city in the world. It is situated between Stow Lake and the H street southern boundary of the Park, and will present the appearance of a vast amphitheatre sodded in blue grass and surrounded by a cinder path, a bicycle path and a speed track for harness horses, outside of which a beautiful inclined green sward will furnish room for thousands of spectators. The speed* way is to be oval in shape, and three-quarters of a mile in circumference on the inside. It will be sixty feet in width all the way round, with the turns thrown up about one inch to the foot. The Park Commissioners are now in consultation with the best authorities on track building and will endeavor to make this the best and fastest three-quarter mile speedway in the world. Twenty-five feet inside this track and twelre feet below it, (a blue grass slope intervening) there will be'constructed a bicycle track about two-thirds of a mile in length and thrown up on the turns for speed. Ten or twelve feet within this bicycle track, will be a cinder path for running contests between athletes. This will be about five-eights of a mile in circumference. Within these three ovals will be a sodded infield suitable for polo, football, lacrosse, bowling and all athletic field events, other than base ball and tennis, beautiful grounds and courts for which are already prominent featuies of Golden Gate Park. The Park Commissioners will provide sheds and paddocks for cooling out horses, and bath showers for the use of the athletes. In short this ground, with its tracks and athletic field will be the finest and most complete amateur pleasure ground in the world, and will be preserved strictly for amateur sports, all contests or racing for money being prohibited by the rules of the Golden Gate Park Commissioners. As will be seen by reference to the picture there will he tunnels under the eastern and north-western ends of the speed track, through which spectators on foot can pass to the bicycle and cinder paths and athletic field. On the outside of the trotting track a prome- nade walk for spectators will extend the full length of the oval. Superintendent of the Park McLaren, since his return from his vacation, during which time he visited many of the great parks of America and Europe, i3 most enthusiastic over the construction of this beautiful addition to Golden Gate Park's many attractions and proposes to make it the grandest public field ever constructed in this or any other country. Work has already begun and hundreds of workmen and teams can be seen daily moving the dirt and grading the grounds. For several years the road drivers and horsemen of San Francisco have desired a place in Golden Gate Park where they could speed their horses. Some years ago the Park Commissioners constructed the mile speedway along the south drive, which has an" swered the purpose of providing a place where horses could be driven at speed, but it was a straightaway track with considerable up and down grade, and so situated that spectators could not see both start and finish, or more than an eighth of the track from any one point, without standing in the track, owing to the conformation of the sandhills through which It was built and the heavy foliage which flanks it on both sides. Some months ago the Amateur Driving and Athletic Association of San Francisco was formed with a membership composed of gentlemen who are interested in all sorts of amateur outdoor sports. TMb organization elected Mr. W. J. Simpson as President and Frank G. O'Kane as Treasurer, and appointed a committee composed of Frank G. O'Kane, I. L. Bor- den, James Coffin, John Flournoy, John A. McKerroD, Richard Tobin, Edward Aigellinger and W. J. Simp- son to wait upon the Park Commissioners and submit a plan to them. The Commissioners estimated that it would take at least $40,000 to construct a speed track and athletic grounds in the Park, and proposed that if the committee would raise $20,000 the Commis- sioners would supply the balance from the Park funds. This was a definite proposition an! the com- mittee went to work. And right here it is no more than right to say that to Mr. Frank G. O'Kane is due the most of the credit for raising the $20,000 which has already been paid over to the commissioners. All the committeemen and many others worked hard and hid well, but Mr. O'Kane made it his personal work and tramped the city from business house to business house soliciting subscriptions. He became an enthusiasm in the matter and has been the leading spirit in the work which is now accomplished. Mr. O'Kane is the leading mem- ber of the great harness and saddle firm of J. O'Kane & Son that has business houses in San Francisco and New York. He is himself an ex-champion amateur athlete, an excellent amateur driver and a prominent member of theOlympicClub of this city sirce his boy- hood. His love for clean outdoor sport of all kinds made him an enthusiast in the new enterprise and when he drew his check for $20,000 as Treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Association, and handed it over to the Park Commissioners, he admitted that it was the proudest day of his life, although he modestly re- marked that it was not his money, but the coin con- tributed by 650 subscribers, of which he was simply the custodian. The Park Commissioners who re- ceived the fund and ordered the work begun are Messrs. R. H. Lloyd, A. B. Spreckels, A. Altman, F. J. Sullivan and W. J, Dingee. Mr. Spreckels is the largest single contributor to the fund having headed the subscription list with $1000. The work is under way and there is an assurance that San Francisco will soon have within its beautiful Golden Gate Park, the finest speed track and athletic field in the world. It will take several months to complete the work, but by the middle of the summer of 1905 its completion will probably be celebrated by a grand gala day of sport, during which all the tracks and athletic grounds will be in use, and we predict that when the day arrives Golden Gate Park will hold the greatest throng of people that ever congregated within its borders. SECOND PAYMENT will be due on the first day in February on the mares nominated in the Pacific Breeders Futurity Stake No. 5. This stake is the last and richest of the Futurities and is guaran- teed to be worth $7000. It will probably be worth $10,000 when it is decided. Don't miss making this payment, thus keeping your mare in the stake and making her foal eligible to race for the money. See the advertisement in this issue and read the substi- tution clause. THE SOIL of the tract of land purchased by the State Board of Agriculture for new State Fair Grounds, is said by W. J. All6n, the expert track builder, to be ideal for a raoe track. It is clay of the same kind which cost the association several thousand dollars a few years ago to put a thin covering ove** the old track. Mr. Allen says the track constructed on the new grounds should be lightning fast for trot- ters and pacers. TWO GOOD TROTTERS are wanted by J. W. Zibbell & Son of th'.s city, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this issue. One must be a high class green trotter, the other one with a record that can win in the fast classes. They prefer mares, and want them for this year's circuit. If the animils are well bred, fin*6 individuals and good ones, with prices right, they are ready to pay the cash. A Skillful Kentucky Driver. Scott Hudson, who is now in California, was written up in the Christmas edition of the Trotter and lJa<:er, as follows: While that skillful Kentuckian, Mr. Scott Hudson, has long been favorably known to the trotting horse world, it was during the seasons of 1901, 1902 and 1903 that his meteoric flashes down through the Grand Cir- cuit had the entire trotting horse world amazed and made turf history so fast that it could scarcely be credited. He was the largest money winner of 1901 and 1902 that ever went down the line of Grand Cir- cuit meetings, his stable scooping in $80,000 one season and $90,000 the next. He appeared to be simply in- vincible, and wherever one of his horses appeared in a race, thousands flocked to the tracks to see him win, for they never considered that he could lose. No d river, before or since, has had such wonderful success down the line' Some of the thoughtless ones may have attributed his wonderful success to good luck; but it was the result of intelligently preparing his horses and skillfully driving them. Many of the races he won were the most exciting of the seasons and were fought out "tooth and toe-nail" to the finish. Mr. Hudson is also the only driver that ever won two $20,000 races, which he did with Nelly A., in the Nutmeg Stake at Hartford and with the great roan mare Hawthorne in the Bonner Memorial at Brighton Beach, and is the only one who ever clemed up the entire program in one day. He won every race on the card at Cleveland one day during the Grand Cir- cuit meeting of 1902, with Audubon Boy, Twinkle, Alice Russell and Chase. He has won the Bonner Memorial twice at Brighton Beach, once with the sensational blind horse Rythmic, and the following season with Hawthorne. Mr. Hudson also has a peculiar affinity for Futurities, having won more of these events than any other driver, and he took Audubon Boy through the Circuit unbeaten in 1902, after being the greatest money winner the previous season, when he lost but two races. Last year he drove the stallion Jay McGregor and won more money with him than was hauled down by any other stallion. Nervolo 2:04£, was also one of the greatest money winners and took the world's record for a half and one and one-quarter miles. Among all the great horses which have been prom- inent on the big rings of recent years campaigned by Mr. Hudson, it would naturally be thought that he would pick one of them as a particular favorite; but when he was asked as to what he considered the best horse ever drove he went away back to his first experiences on the turf. Delia Ship, he said, was one of the first fast horses he ever owned and drove and he considered her just about the best and the one he liked best to drive in a race. During the season of 1893 he won thirteen straight racea with her, and he thinks a better race mare never lived, and but for her unfortunate death after the campaign would have taken high rank among the turf stars. Mr. Hudson is one of the trainers who can always be found at his stable or working on the track when he is on the road, being a hard worker, a careful trainer and an expert driver. While he did not have quite as large a string of campaigners this year, ha was pretty generally represented in the money when- ever he started, although not as great a winner as he was during the previous seasons. This fall he began to take an active part in the affairs of the Professional Drivers' League, as he believes that the drivers should have some representation in the formulation of rules for their government. His feelings in that matter are better expressed in his own words in conversation with several horsemen at the Murray Hill Hotel, just before he started for California, where he will spend the winter: "The drivers can do nothing without the associations and the associations are nothing without the drivers, therefore I think they should work amicably with each other and make rules for the best interests of each. Heretofore, the drivers have not had anything to say in the way of making rules, and I think they should be given a voice in matters which so nearly concern them." Horse Values Will Advance. It seems to be agreed by all dealers in coach and carriage horses that much better prices with an in- creased demand will prevail in the early spring. News from across the Atlantic is that the auto is rapidly going out of use among the royal bloods, who set the styles of both continents. There will be an active demand for coach and carriage horses for export, and the demand will be active in all the important sea- board cities in the United States. The prices for race and matinee and speedway horses will also be better, because the demand will be more active than in the spring of 1904, and there is no surplus to supply this demand. Even in the breeding centers there is no over-supply. A letter from Lexington, Ky., just to hand, states: "Among the surprises given the trotting horsemen during the past week was the announce- ment made by Mike Bowerman, that he would sell two of his stallions for the simple reason that there is a dearth of good mares to breed to. Bowerman declares that in all his connection with the breeding of trotters he never experienced a season or a time when broodmares of a high quality were as scarce as they are now. This seems to be corroborative of the statement made by John Splan that there is an ap- proaching famine of horses in America, and Bower- man asserts that be has been unable to dispose of the services of his horses except to mares of an inferior quality, and that to preserve their reputation I refused to mate them, and will now dispose of the —American Sportsman. Cue ^jveeoev cwtfr Qpovtsman [January 14, 1905 NEW STATE FAIR GROUNDS. Secretary Albert Lindley Outlines Plans for Improvements Contemplated. Albert Lied ley, Secretary ol the State Agricultural Society recently outlined the plans that have been or the improvement of the annual State Fair, a matter of great interest to the people of Sacramehto. Id touching on some oi the more important points of the subject Mr. Lindley said: • that the purchase of land has been completed and we know definitely that the State Fair grounds are to be located near Oak Park in Sacramento, it may not be premature for me to outline the plans of the Agricultural Directors in regard to the improve- ments to be made thereon, and their future policy concerning agricultural matters and the State Fair, subject, of course, to the action of the Legislature and the Governors approval. "Io the first place, it is the wish of the State Board of Agriculture to place every exhibit, attraction and exhibition as near as possible to the grandstand which is to be erected upon the new fair ground. In this way all exhibits can be seen conveniently for ODe admission and at the expense of one car fare, and that the affairs of the board can be conducted by one man- ager with one set of employes, one "band and a big saving in many smaller items. "It is our hope to be able to construct upon the fair grounds such buildings -as will be best adapted to the proper exhibition of stock and poultry surround. ing them with clean covered walks so that all may be seen and inspected without the public getting into dust and filth as Heretofore has been the case. "A suitable building is needed near the grandstand for the exhibition of manufactured articles and farm- ing and mineral products that will also be adapted for giving band concerts, entertainments, etc. "The grandstand will, when built, be much larger than the old one, containing a large section of reserved seats, and every effort will be made to make the en- tire seating convenient and comfortable and com- manding a good view of the parade grounds and track. "The location of the new fair grounds is such that it will not be necessary to do much grading in order to make a fine level race course of the regulation size, and the soil is exactly the kiod most desired by breeders upon which to train and speed their horses. "As California has the best bred and fastest horses in the world, the State should have the best and fastest race course upon which they can make their records. "In order to construct these buildings and build such a race course it will be necessary to have money, and this is about the way we now stand financially and what will be necessary for our future needs: "Beginning wiih the sale of the old fair grounds for $82,500; $31,500 of this was used immediately in paying off liens and notes held by the bank and such other sums as were expended for abstract of title, attorney's f*;es and commissioner's fees. "Fifty-one thousand dollars that then remained was placed to the credit of the Agricultural Board in the State Treasury. "Under the Act passed by the Legislature at a former session allowing and providing for the sale of the old fai grounds it was stipulated that the money bo obtained could only be usf d for the purpose of pur- chasing other fair grounds and making improvements thereon iu Sacramento county. "This was a very proper provision, for the reason that the land contained in the old fair grounds never co^t the State of California one dollar, but was I by the people of Sacramento, and this $82,500 Is therefore, in fact, a gift to the State from the people of Sacramento. "Out of the $51,000 balance placed by the Directors In the State Treasury, $22,000 has been expanded in paying for!1 ':res bought, by the Directors til Park for the new fair ground, leaving a net balaoce to he used on buildings, etc., to be placed theret. I, which willjgo far toward their con- struction. "Sioco Bettllng the t3 1,000 of obligations I men- tioned . v 0f the old park, we find wc havu laining of less than $69,000. "Toward pa through it: " which, has n. .though it practically Is' now lying in the Stat. that purpose, and will be available when the new fair ground t are deeded to the State of California Agricultural Society Director, which will lmme- 7 he done. (6,000, deducted from the $69,000 debt just - a balance of debt of $24,000 for the cgislature to help us out with. "Now, President Rush and the other members of the Board of Agricultural Directors are haviDg pre- pared estimates of the cost of the improvements to be made on the new fair grounds These estimates are almost all completed, and when it is ascertained what that cost will be a bill will be presented to the Legislature sufficient to cover the $24,000 remaining indebtedness, and also the amount needed to complete improvements on the new park over and above the $29,000 balance now in the State Treasury for that purpose. "While the State Fairs of late have not been finan- cially successful, it must not be charged up against the people of Sacramento, as there have been several valid reasons for the shortage in receipts. One year the death of a President caused the directors to close the fair, and again bad weather had to be contended with. At times the expenses have been entirely too high, due largely to the necessity of giving two shows under practically two different managements with two sets of employees, and partly to the fact that more attention has been given to running races, the book- makers and their following than to the merchants, the manufacturer, the miner, and, above all else, the farmer and stock breeder. "The present directors, whose employe I am, have given me positive instructions to run the affairs of the board mainly in the interests of the producers, and give every encouragement to the exhibition of stock and farm products, and the breeding and racing of harness horses. This I will do, without, at the same time, trying to discourage the breeding and racing of running horses, but I feel that so many racetracks are now in operation for long seasons each year that that branch of horse-racing has comparatively little need of aid from State Fairs, and should at our meet- ings be entirely self-sustaining. "It is pleasing to the Board of Directors and to my- self that the people of Sacramento county and the papers are offering us such cordial support in our efforts to rejuvenate matters pertaining to the State Agricultural Society. "With the $40,000 given some years ago by Sacra- mento towards constructing the Agricultural Pavilion on the Capitol grounds, and the $82,500 for which the old park sold, that property having been purchased by Sacramentans and given to the State Agricultural Society, it may be seen that the State Fair has received from the people of Sacramento in cold cash the immense sum of $122,500, a direct gift. "This, we believe, entitles them to liberal considera- tion from California's representatives. "It will be the aim of the Agricultural Directors to give to the people a State Fair tnat will be of great benefit to California as an advertisement and of direct benefit to every farmer, horticulturist, breeder and stock-raiser in the State." — Sacramento Union. ath 2.-07J and many others in the free-for-all classes. As a foal getter Monterey is not only sure, but his colts are all endowed with size, good looks and natural speed. The owners of foals by Monterey set great value on them, and confidently expect them to be money winneis when raced. A gentleman who has been a student of horse breeding for thirty years re- marked the other day that he considered Monterey a stallion that would bring great fame to California within the next three years through the performances of his get, as he confidently expected him to have a half-dozen 2:05 or better performers within that time. Monterey is to be in the stud again this year on the same terms as last, and progressive breeders should patronize him. Answers to Correspondents. J. D. ANLOw, Butte, Montana— There is no horse registered by the name McKinley Wilkes, and no horse by that name has sired a standard performer. Monterey 2:09 1-4 as a Sire. During the year just closed there were many high- class trotters and pacers raced in the United States, and the title of champion in any class was not ob- tained easily. Every horse that got a championship during the year was not only fast but of racehorse quality. It was, therefore, a great compliment to Mr P. J. Williams' stallion Monterey 2:09J when his son Irish, one of his first crop of colts, took a record of 2:08^, tha fastest mile pacea by a four-year-old dur- ing the year. To have sired the best four-year-old of his year is a distinction that entitles Monterey to more credit than is usual, especially when it is known that he was not bred to over a half-dozen mares the year Irish was begotten. Monterey is endowed with as much speed as any stallion that ever lived. Horsemen who saw him in training the year he was taken East by his owner are well aware of this fact. Quarters in 30 seconds seemed easy for him, and he could out- brush some of the fastest pacers through the home- stretch atthe end of miles below 2:10. No horseman who has ever seen Monterey at work questions the assertion that he is endowed with two minute speed. On breeding he stands in the very front rank. His sire, Sidney, is grandsire of the fastest trotter ever foaled. His dam, Hattie by Commodore Belmont, is a great broodmare and is by a sire of great brood- mares. His second dam is by Woodford Mambrino, whose daughters produced the great Kremlin 2:073, Bonnatella and others; his third dam was by Norman 25, whose daughter produced Norval, one of the very greatest sons of Electioneer, and his fourth dam was a daughter of that great thoroughbred, Grey Eagie, whose daughters have founded running and trotting families of superior merit. Monterey's racehorse qualities are well known. HU fastest quarters were always in the homestretch and he met the very best In the free-for-all class when ho raced. He has finished in front of such horses as Galette2:llJ, Rex Alto 2:07}, Toggles 2:08}, Dr. Leek 2:09i, Kentucky Union 2:07}, John Nolan 2:08, Klam- W. F. Hanev, Modesto — Miss Garvin is a bay mare foaled 1892, by Fellowcharm, dam Sally Hampton by Boots, second dam by Joe Daniels. She won two or three races as a three year-old.

It waB made in thesecond heat of the 2:15 class pace, which race was won by Silver Coin. Doc Wilkes took the first heat in 2:121, Midnight the second in 2:11 J and Silver Coin the next three in 2:114, 2:12, 2:13. M. B. Sweenev, Hanford— As there are a half- dozen trotting-bred mares and several thoroughbred mares by the name of Maggie Mitchell we will have to have more definite information as to which one you desire the pedigree of before we can give it.

[Portland Rural Spirit, Jan. 6.] William Hogoboom reports nearly fifty horses at the Walla Walla track this winter, all doing well. Porringer and Erwin, of PeDdleton, were recently over and made arrangements to move their horses to the Walla Walla track in the near future. Dr Clowe has a good filly by Bogoboom's Teddy that is showing up fine, with very little work. C. E. Barrow's richly bred two-year-old stallion, Phal Smith 39259, is developing into a splendid horEe. With very little work he showed a 24 gait last season Pretty good for a green two-year-old. Mr. Barrow's nice eight-monlhs-old bay filly, Pearl Mac, that he has entered in the California colt stakes, has already shown him a 3:20 gait Of all the parties breeding trotters about Walla Walla, perhaps no one takes a more active interest in the business than Mrs. Dooley. She loves a well-brer' horse and owns ten or fifteen head of the best ones in the valley. She owns the old Chas. Russell place which is the best farm in the Walla Walla valley. It contains 500 acres, 200 oi which is first class alfalfa land. The place is watered by a beautiful creek and numerous springs and is only 31 miles out from Walla Walla. Her mares are mostly by Caution, all standard and registered and have colts by Teddy, son of Diablo; most of her mares are now in foal to Mr. Hogoboom's Linmont. She owns the good bay three- year-old filly Cleopatra, by Alexis, dam by Caution. She was worked a short time last spring by Mr. Hogoboom and went a quarter in 34 and a half in 1:12. Mr. T. H. Ramsay, who owns the Oregon bred colt Al McKlnney, by McKinney, out of Mary A., by Alta- mont, has placed him in Budd Doble's hands to train. This youngster trotted miles last year in his three- year-old form in 2:15 and he is looked upon as a 2:10 performer this year. Alma Mack, whom Mr. Helman drove miles in 2:20 last season is a full sister to Al McKinney, and John Sawyer has a half sister to him being sired by Zombro that has been dubbed the coming Lou Dillon. Kenney, the man who makes sulky wheels that are right and who sells the McMurray sulkies and carts as fast as the Ohio house can forward them to him, is distributing some very handsome calendars for 1905 issued by the McMurray Company. A very handsome photograph of a big bunch of trotters racing through the stretch on a Grand Circuit track adorns the calendar. Send to Kenney for one. It will adorn your home or your stable. Kenney has also received the new McMurray 1905 catalogue, which he will be pleased to mail to you on application. He sold one of the 1905 models this week to Mr. Middleton of Fresno. January 14, 1905] The oesu or all baits for pompano fishing is lobster exposed to the sun for a day or two until some of the water is dried out of it. This makes it stay on the hook better than the fresh meat does. Pompano live it better than shark, ray or anything else though in the absence of lobster bait, steaks cut from the wings of shovelnose sharks, "stingarees," and such other finned nuisances are a very good substitute. The veteran pompano catcher is never in a hurry and seldom strikes his fish. Pompano bite slowly and nibble at the bait before taking it in, as must every small-mouthed fish. They can absorb a gob of lob- ster as big as one's fingernail if given a little time to do it, but baits of as small size as can be made to stay on the hook answer better in most cases. Asa well-made pompano leader has three or four hoots to every foot of its running leDgth there need never be any haste to raise a hooked fish. In the bay where pompano run past in schools and leave toll each trip, it is an advantage to get as many on as possible for every haul; the struggles of the hooked ones Lend to keep the others around and often induce them to bite also. A "raise" of half a ^ozen strug- gling quarter-pound pompano is likely to give even a veteran angler some "sensations" very nearly akin to keen pleasure. Fishing in the bay at present, the always to be reckoned with kingfish and herring are sure to present themselves, and some a shade larger for the tackle are likely to stray along, but a little time and patience will generally wear them out without damage tc the gear. The silvery goggle-eyed perch familiarly known to fishers as "Pasadena pompano, " from their slight resemblance to the better fish, are always will- ing to bite, and some of the unsophisticated take them home by mistake every Sunday. They are about the most worthless thing that wears fins in the ocean; watery and poorly flavored, they are so full of bones that a cat will turn away from one in disdain. The origin of the nickname is shrouded in the same mystery that envelops the jesting of shooters who call spoonbill ducks "Pasadena mallards. " One big advantage of a pompano leader is that it does equally good service for jack smelts which are at present biting in San Pedro bay along with the pom- pano. These lithe, silvery fellows put up a lively tussel for their inches, and are well worth arjgling for, even when the pompano are in evidence. Lobster bait looks good to them, and no change except as to depth is necessary when they are desired. The smelts generally run higher than the pompano. Some very fine silversides of fourteen and fifteen inches in length have been pulled out oF San Pedro bay during the week. The present period is a veritable "picnic" for the small fishermen and large parties have enjoyed it everyday. Sundays, standing room on the wharves is at a premium. Those who desire to have elbow room find it necessary to secure boats and anchor these out in the stream, though the fishing is just as good from the decks of the lumber schooners which lie alongside the piles. The peculiar, fresh-cut-grass cdor of pompano when first caught has been a source of much speculation to shore fishermen this winter, and even the oldest of January 14, 19C5J ©lie gvee&ev anis gijxortsmcm e them are at a loss to account for it, unless it be due to some kind of vegeteble food which the little fish eats, and to which, doubtless, it owes its delicate flavor and freedom from the "fishiness" of some other varieties. It is this sweet taste that causes the pom pan o to hover around 40 cents a pound in the markets. Like the sanddab. it is a dish that people who do not like most fish relish because as they say, "Tt doesn't taste a bit like fish." MONTANA BUFFALOES SHIPPED HERE. TheGolden Gate Park herd of buffaloes was recently increased by the arrival here of a bull and two cows. The three animals were shipped from Montana in a cattle car and then carried to the park in a specially constructed cage built on a huge truck. The three Montana bisons were turned loose in a paddock near where the spotted deer and the kanga- roos reside. For a while they trotted here and there through the inclosure, sniffing the wind suspiciously. But one taste of California grass made them feel at home. The Park Commissioners, who take every precau- tion for the welfare of tbe buffaloes, found that the park herd was in danger of deteriorating because of fn-breeding. New stock was needed, so the three new buffaloes were purchased from the Eaton ranch in Montana. The importations are fine, healthy speci- mens of the bison and all of them are two-year-olds. The new arrivals will be kept to themselves for a while. The males of the original herd would fiercely resent the intrusion of the bull from Montana and the cows in the big paddock might not receive the females cordially at first introduction. The Montana animals look little the worse for the rough experience they have been through. They were roped by dexterous cowboys on the Eaton ranch; then they wereloaded into a cattle car and for several days whirled along behind a noisy, shrieking engine. They seemed more than glad to feel the soft turf under their feet. Their present quarters are a little cramped, for in Montana they had many acres to roam over. The sight of a truck load of buffaloes naturally created considerable excitement along the streets of this city. The animalseyed the curious speciatorsin- differently though they had never been in close quarters with mankind until they started on the trip to California. One of the cows has a slight defect. A horn was torn from her head in a fight back in Montana. SElSON ENDED. In British Columbia, December 31st, was the last day of the season for the shooting of grouse of all kinds, and on Jan. 1st the lasG shots were fired at quail and the pheasants. The birds have been — more especially the grouse— a scarcer quantity than usual this autumn, and all lovers of the gun up north are joining hands to press desired amendments to the game law when the legislature meets on the 9th prox , the most important feature of which will be the pro- posal to prohibit the sale of blue grouse absolutely. It is felt that such a step is imperative if this fine game bird is to be saved from extermination in the accessible districts. It is also probable that the House will be asked to fix a maximum for a day's bag, the only law in this direction at present on the statute book heing with respect to ducks, of which birds it is enacted that no one shall kill or take more than 250 in the course of a season. This section of the act is absolutely and necessarily inoperative and impossible of enforcement. The Collie as a Worker. (Written by E. Bjorkeland for the Montreal Collie Club ) In my attempt to describe the pure-bred Collie as a worker I much regret my inability as a writer, but perhaps with my inborn love for dogs and my hand- ling of live stock for twenty-five years, it follows that I must have had workers more or less useful. Before going into the subject at hand I may remark that some men are able to get the best work out of almost any dog where others utterly fail. The whole secret lies in our ability to get the dog's unbounded confidence, then the dog's working is only limited by his Intelligence or his aptitude to understand what is wanted. As to what is wanted of a worker there seems to be some difference of opinion, and in too many cases I have heard a dog called a worker if he can bring home the cows and drive the neighbor's sheep off the field, the whole education consisting in teaching the dog to understand the meaning of "Sic-em." This learned, the dog will run at the cows, bark and bite, drive the cows to the far end of the pasture, where they must turn or jump the fence; the dog follows, and as the cows have no other way of getting rid of their tormenter they naturally run for the barn. En this case it is the cows that are trained to run home when the dog comes. Personally I require a dog of a different education and ability. He must bring home the cows, but do it gently without exciting them. He must also pen a flock of sheep at any place when required; drive cattle or sheep on the road and keep them there; and furthermore, to be a farmer's dog, he must handle pigs, the most troublesome of all animals to drive; and all of this requires, as you can readily see, the very highest intelligence, besides an inborn aptitude for such work. I will pass over the various breeds or mongrels I have had and come to my first pure bred Collie. Fanny I got as a pup in the winter of 1896, from Robert Allan, Mt. Royal Vale, and began to work her at six months of age. The first time I brought her into the pasture with young cattle, Fanny rounded up and drove the cattle to me and held them there wheeling about and turning back anyone attempting to stray. This very thing I, with more or less success, had tried to teach dogs of various breeds — the driving to me. This was a natural instinct in her; training she had none. She learned obedience as all my dogs must do, and to understand hand motions which indicated to drive to right or left, forward or back, and I fear I shall never find her equal. As proof of her intelligence I may relate one instance. In tbe fall of '97 we had twenty-five or thirty half-grown pigs running in a pasture; they got out one day and into a cornfield unknown to me, but Fanny, on her own responsibility, drove the pigs out of the cornfield over to the pasture gate, which was closed. I was told by one who saw her that she ran up to the locked gate, then sat- down and seemed to turn matters over in her mind, then with a few lively jumps and bites ran the pigs together, then off to find me, then by excited barking she tried to make me understand that something was wrong, and when I followed her she went ahead and had all the pigs at the gate ready to turn in. I could name many other Collies of great merit as workers, they being descended from Fanny and may possibly have derived their working ability from her. We will take up my latest acquisition, Ben Davis, whose sire is Woodmansterne Conrad, dam Logan's Apple Blossom, a pedigree that is well known to Collie breeders, and it is equally well known that none of Ben's ancestors have been workers for many genera- tions. I purchased this dog from Mr. Robert Mc- Ewan, qualities were aroused and he showed an ex- pression that would gladden the heart of any Collie man. Knowing BenV gentle disposition and that be would not chase sheep or anjthing else, I tried to make him understand the word "fetch." Ben started slowly at first, gradually increasing in speed, every vital fibre in his body and brain working in harmony, and rounding up those sheep drove them to the midaleof the field, heading off and turningany strays, neither barking nor biting, just galloping along close up to the sheep and throwing his body against them to turn them. I realize my inability to properly describe this. I have often watched a Pointer or Setter on his first day in the field, and any gunning man knows the excitement when such a dog finds his first game, but this is nothing compared to the sight of a good Collie rounding up his first sheep. I had no right to start off with another mat's sheep, but right or wrong I headed for the gate and Ben followed with the sheep slowly but surely, turn- ing them into a narrow lane leading to the farm. Now I did not want to take the sheep down to the farm, so after keeping them there for a short time, I started to turn them back The sheep, however, did not feel inclined to go back, and when 200 sheep stop in a narrow lane they form a blockade that is not easily broken, and here I had another agreeable sur- prise, showing plainly the instinct there is in the pure bred Collie, although it may be dormant. Twice Ben jumped the fence and tried tostart them, but could not; then without word or sign from me he ran along the backs of the flock to the foremost, barked, and with his head tried to separate them. He got them started, and again when tbe sheep were passing the pasture gate Ben ran over the sheep, headed them off, and turned them into the pasture. I cannot say who was prouder, the dog or his master, but there was not enough money in Canada to buy Ben Davis that day. Since then I have had no trouble in getting Ben to work on cattle, sheep or pigs, and today I can trulv say that few dogs will equal him in working ability or general intelligence. How do we train the Collie? I have no rules for this; each dog may require different handling. One rule I have equally for all, and the same for Pointers and Setters — if they do not point naturally they are not worth training. So with the Collie; if he doesnot head the flock towards me he is not worth training. My dogs always follow me, but I only let one dog work at a time; they must learn obedience to word, whistle, or hand motion. I do not let my dogs work for fun, and get off when half done. When I give the order the work must be done, and if the dogs cannot do it I must, and let the dogs see that it can and must be done. My dogs have perfectconfidencein me, and generally this confidence becomes mutual. A Collie cannot be trained in a month nor a year; it takes a lifetime, as there is always something new to learn. Be on the look-out that he does not learn bad habits, which he is as liable to as his master. I cannot let this opportunity pass without remind- ing you of the duty which rests on you — "The Only Collie Club in Canada." It is in your power to guard this, our favorite breed, from taint. Do not lose the working quality for a mere imaginary beauty — English Stock-Keeper. DOINGS IN DOGDOM. PACIFIC ADVISORY BOARD. A meeting of the Pacific Advisory Board was held in this city on Monday evening and considerable busi- ness of an executive character transacted. Charges had been filed against Charles Perry alleging that his Collie Island Chief had been entered at shows under a wrong pedigree and that incorrect pedigrees had been given to breeders who had secured Btud services by Chief. The matter was adjusted by cautioning Mr. Perry to procure the proper breeding of his dog, if possible., and to refrain from further publishing a pedigree of Chief that was ascertained to be incorrect. Mr. Perry was held guiltless of any intention of deception, his prior source of information in that respect having been deemed trustworthy. ward their names, together with the breed of animi Is owned, to Mr. Jos. A. Graham and Mr. Harry B. Hawes, in care of tbe Missouri Athletic Club, St. Louis. A meeting will be called later of those from whom responses are received, and permanent organization effected. St. Louis is the home of many fanciers and the abiding place of many owners of high-bred dogs. An organization of the character contemplated would be not only interesting but of much benefit. The organ- ization of such a kennel club would, of course, ultimately result in an annual dog show, and under the management of the gentlemen named could not be otherwise than highly successful. Tbat the move- rr ent will meet hearty response from owners and fanciers is without question. A GREAT COLLIE KENNELS. Glen Tana Talent, the Philadelphia winner in pup- pies, arrived in Spokane on the 5th inst. in good shape. She is certainly a fine Collie; nice, long head, small ears, excellent coat, and she is very large for her a, 'e. She looks a great deal like Ch. Bo Peep, a winner at San Jose, etc. Her sire is Glen Tana BouLder (by Ch. Parbold Piccolo), dam Glen Tana Laura Lea, a winner herself and the dam also of Balmoral Duchess. Glen Tana Collie Kennels shipped two Collie pup- pies to Wyoming purchasers last week. Mr. Griffith should have a fine lot of high-bred Col- lies for sale this spring; in fact, we doubt if there will be a better lot of Collies to be found west of the Mis* sissippi than are now in the Spokane kennels. Glen Tana Marquis has recently served Glen Tana Roma, Glen Tana Scylla, Glen Tana Mina and Glen Tana Moreton Vesta (the dam of 10 winners). Ch. Leozie Prince (winner of 47 firsts) has been mated to Rippowan Chance and Brandane Marionslea, a sweet bitch, winner at tbe December show in this city, 1903. Laura Lea, Glengairn Lassie and Bonnie were served by Rippowam's Aicher. The outlook, therefore, for some grand young Collies is a most promising one. Besides the above Coast breedingsGlen Tana Talent vas served by the Philadelphia winner, Craigmore Cracksman — the latter dog has also been purchased by Mr. Griffith. To fanciers interested in Collies we call attention to the Glen Tana announcement in the classified "ads" on page 15. NEW SPECIALTY CLUB ORGANIZED. The Dalmatian Club of America has been formed, with the following gentlemen as officers: President, Alfred B. Maclay; vice-president, H. T. Peters; secretary-treasurer, J. S. Price, Jr. Special prizes in cash or plate have been offered at the New York and Boston shows and tbe annual meeting will be held during the week of the New York show. All fanciers desirous of joining the club will please communicate with the Secretary, J. S. Price, Jr., Chestnut Hill, Pa. JUDGES FOR THE BOSTON SHOW. The bench show committee of the New England Kennel Club have not as yet been able to decide upon their entire list of judges, but Secretary Gero fur- furnisnes the following as the list up to date, with a complete assignment next week says Field and Fancy: Mr. Joseph M. Dale, Brooklyn, Boston Terriers. Mr. Marsh Byers, Grand Rapids, Mich., Pointers and Setters. Mr. Tyler Morse, English Bulldogs. Miss Whitney, same breeds as last year with the exception of Great Danes, which will probably go to Mr. Mortimer Mr. Mortimer and Mr. Lacy will judge various breeds as last year. AND THE MAN SAID: That the Spring show in this city will probably be held in May. That the Portland Kennel Club has withdrawn from the W. K. L. and filed application for A. K. C. membership. That the sidetracking of the Pacific Collie and Old English Sheep Dog Club's application to obtain a transfer from the Arctic zone to the warmer A. K. C. latitudes was — because the club name was too cumber- some and might take up too much valuable time when necessary to mention the organization during "Red Parlor" meetings. That the A. K. C. Coast circuit this year will be the "best ever." That the career of the Billy Bounce of local dogdom aptly illustrates a vulgar truism — "One cannot make a silk purse out of a hog's ear.'" A. liar and dishonest ingrate will naturally refute the exposure of his inherent scalawag proclivities by tbe eructation of defensive scurrility, voided, like a foul discharge of the cuttlefish, for the purpose of refuge from obbervation in the slimy emanations of self nastiness. That Billy Bounce never sold a Cocker Spaniel that was left in his charge — and when the owner called for her property was told tbat her dog had died. That the "situation" in this State, and up to the border, seems to be well in the hands of the A. K. C. campaign leaders. A rift in the clouds is promising for general sunshine, from which the fancy will absorb warmth — for how long? A KENNEL CLUB FOR ST. LOUIS. A call has been issued, signed by Russell E.Gardner, calling attention of St. Louis dog fanciers to the importance of establishing a permanent kennel club in that city and requesting all those interested to for- That Billy rJounce is an enthusiastic "Icut" for dcg medicines.

He had a good start and has stayed with the game, he "got in on the ground floor," as it were. That the practices of Billy Bounce have been ex- emplars of systematic and persistent rascality—in dogdom and out of it, and will be the subject of a series of exposures that will properly pace Mr Bounce in his class— one beyond the recognition of the respectable element in dogdom. That the Westminster Kennel Club have put up in regular prize money the tidy sum of $10,315 to be distributed among many classes at the show next month— and this is going some for a bench show. NATIONAL FANCIERS' SHOW. The combined poultry, dog and cat annual show of the National Fanciers and Breeders Association will take place at the Coliseum in Chicago, Jan. 23-28. The bench show end of theexhibit will be nnder W. K L rules. The judges will be announced in the dog and cat premium list. The premium list with full in- formation can be obtained from Secretary Fred L. Kimmey, Room 500, 325 Dearborn St., Chicago. COLLIE BREEDERS' ASSOCIATION. Final arrangements for the Collie show of the above named organization have been made by the show committee. The exhibit will take place In the Coliseum Annex, Chicago, Feb. 1, 2. Mr. John A. Long of St. Louis, possibly one of the best Collie judges in America, will pass on all classes. This is expected be to the largest Collie show ever held in this country. The secretary, Mr L A. Woodward, 4445 Michigan Ave., is to be superintendent of the show. The premium list is now ready for mailing and may be obtained by ad- dressing Mr. Woodward. Pacific Coast Field Trials. The twenty-second annual field trials of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club began near Bakersfield, Kern county, last Monday morning with the Derby. Weather and other conditions have been very favor- able for the sport. The quality of the young dogs has been high class almost throughout. Out of originally thirty-nine nom'nations, twenty-nine second forfeits were paid and of these eatries there were seventeen starters in the puppy stake. The Derby was finished on Wednesday, the winners as selected by Judge H. L. Betten were: First, Jos. K. Terry's orange and white bitch Ladylike (Orion- Terry's Lady), whelped July 25, 1903. She was bred by Mr. Terry and handled by W. B. Coutts. Second place, W. W Van Arsdale's white, black and tan bitch Mariposa (Detroit Joe-Countess Mark), whelped March, 1903, California Kennels breeder, C. H. Bab- cock handler. Third place was equally divided be- tween a Pointer and a Setter— S. Christensen's white, black and tan Setter bitch Del Rey Belle (California Bell Boy-Countess Mark), whelped October 21, 1903. California Kennels breeder, Coutts handler. Theother winner was A. G. Cadogan's liver and white Pointer bitch Chiquite (Dr. Daniels-Fan Go) whelped May 17, 1903, Mt. View Kennels breeder, J. E. Lucas handler. The All-Age was Btarted on Wednesday, the draw was aB follows: W. W. Van Arsdale's Keepsake with JosE. Terry's Kilgarif. Stockdale Kennels' Midget with W. W. Van Ars- dale's Jay M. W.

A daily press dispatch notes that Sacramento county is to be thoroughly stocked with bob white (Eastern) quail, and the first installment of the piping little game birds, "consisting of twelve dozen, are already in the possession of Game Warden Neale, and will be turned at liberty at the close of the open season on the Rancho del Paso, where for the next two years these quail will not be allowed to be shot in order that they may have every chance to propagate if they can be ac- climated. Other shipments are expeeted-shortly, and will be placed in other portions of the county, where they will receive like protection. It is expected that the new arrivals willbreed and spread all over the county. A large quantity of California quail from the southern portion of the State, where they are said to be so plentiful as to be a nuisance, are also to be shipped into Sacramento county for distribution." The introduction of the bob whites is not a new ex- perience with sportsmen of thiB State who were actuated by the laudable desire of propagating and increasing the varieties of game birds. Prior experi- ments on this line in this State have usually, we regret to relate, been failures for various reasons. The newcomers are essentially a ground bird and were liberated in a country that was apparently ideal for the Eastern bird — cover, water, feeding ground and climate all that might be expected, but the6e conditions were also extremely favorable to several varieties of ground vermin; red foxes, weasels, skunks, minks and riccoons, and these marauding animals gave poor bob white a welcome that had a tragic finale. In most of the Eastern habitats of these par- tridges, the country is far more thickly settled than the localities selected for the birds in this State, and their field enemies are not so proportionately numer- ous. Another phase of life for the immigrant is the combativeness of the native bird. The hoodlum of the valley is a pugnacious feathered gladiator and will give bob whi e a lively hustling in the feeding places and at the drinking rendezvous. We believe, some years ago, a number of the brown flecked Easterners were liberated in the vicinity of Woodland they prospered in that section, for climatic, cover and feeding environment was favorable, but the birds gradually disappeared. An attempt was made to introduce the birds in the Contra Co3ta foothills, a number were liberated at Verona station, through the efforts, if we are not mistaken, of a well know.n sportsman, Mr. John E. de Ruyter. Bob white got along famously for awhile and was a welcome and appreciated member of the feathered wildwood dwellers of that locality. The little feliows increased enough to attract the attention of market hunters and then it was all off with the new settler. We re- member calling the attention of our sportsmen readers to the fact that bunches of bob whites were on sale some five years ago, or more, in the market stalls of this city. At that time ranchers and their employees, foreigners they were, in that district found a shame- fully pettifogging profit in ground sluicing quail, of the native and Eastern variety, and sendiDg them to market. The Rancho del Paso grounds are as good a terri- tory, possibly, as can be found on which to liberate bob white quail and it is to be hoped that the project, as contemplated, will meet with encouraging success. The transfer of native quail from a southern section to the ranch district is a very wise move in re-stock- ing. The statement that the birds are so numerous as to be a nuisance down south is to be taken with some degree of contra reflection, for upon investiga- tion this charge, made against a bird that has de- cidedly economic value to vinyardist and husband- man, will be easily disproved. The value of the California valley quail, so called, as a game bird, is of secondary consideration to the moBt remunerative board bill he pays in destroying insects in the vineyards and fields. » ■ STRIPED BASS CLUB. At the annual dinner and meeting of the San Fran- cisco Striped Bass Club held on Thursday evening the following officers were elected: James Lynch, presi- dent; James Watt, vice-president; James S. Turner, secretary; Charles H Kewell, treasurer. Applications for membership were received from: Frank F. Wear, A. R. Douglas, W. A. King, A. M. Blade, J. G. BlisB, H. B. Terry, W. A. L. Miller and J. M. Thomson. Among those present at the dinner were: C. H. Street, F. F. Wear, W. Currier, S. A. Wells, J. M. Thomson, H. B. Terry, A. M. Blade, J. J. Darrell, J. Bliss, J. S. Turner, W. S. Turner, C.

The recent annual meeting in Portland of the Fish and Game Protective Association develops the fact that there is, apparently, a feeling in favor of extreme protection is rife among the shotgun fraternity and brethern of the angle. The following extract, taken from an exchange, explains the situation up north as gone over at the meeting for those present decided upoD what laws they wished to be passed by the coming session of the Legislature. They elected officers and intend to hold a big barbecue at the time of the week's shoot to be held by the trapshooters next June. There will then be present many sports- men from all over the Btate, and the occasion will be fitting for a sportsmen's jollification. The loading discussion of the evening was concern- ing the Chinese pheasant and duck situation, and the consensus of the meeting was that the salvation of game iu Oregon is in an entirely closed season. That means no market whatever, not even for duckB. This was objected to immediately, and at the time overruled, but later in the evening the minority had their say. No one seemed to care about selling Chinese pheasants, and it was readily agreed that these birds could only be preserved by prohibiting their sale. But ducks are another matter. Men like Colonel Dunne and Will Lipman, of Portland, who are known not to sell their ducks, urged that it be allowed. Their argument was that the maintenance of big feeding establishments down the Willamette river was the only way to bring ducks in, and that the most of these establishments were maintained by sell- ing the ducks. They also argued ihat the public ought to have an opportunity to buy ducks. But the meeting had already voted that all game, including ducks, should not be sold. The other leading piece of suggested legislation is the enacting of a hunter's license of $1 to all comers, the funds raised, expected to be $15,000 or $20,000 yearly, to be used for the maintenance of the Game Wardens. Other resolutions were the supporting of the trout hatchery on the Coos river, the placing of bounties on wolves, cougars and wildcats which destroy the deer, and crows, which eat the pheasant eggs; the shortening of the duck season to February 1 to do away with the disastrous spring shooting, and the change in the bass law, making the open season from March 1 to November 1. It was agreed that it would be a crime for small mouthed bsss ever to be intro- duced into Oregon waters. Dr. Ney Churchman said he considered all bass the prizefighters af the fiBh world, and did not need protection of any kind. Eastern Oregon's special laws were left for that section of the country to deal with itself. There was suggested a change in the duck law, prohibiting shooting of birds while on the resting grounds, but as. it was found that matter had been suggested for per-- sonal reasons, it was laid on the table. The new officers of the Fish and Game Association are: President, H. B. Tronson; vice-president, Thos Ayer, of Pendleton; secretary, A. E. Gebhardt;; treasurer, John Cran. » Change of Business Location. The growing demands of an increasing business; have necessitated a change of quarters for the Cali- fornia Powder Works and in consequence the com- pany's headquarters In this city are now located in commodious offices on the fourth floor of the Wells- Fargo Building, 49 Second street. 1 ■•■ • A Record Year.

During the last year, more or less attention has= been given to the question of the danger attending the handling, shipping, and storing of ammunition;, the agitation being caused by an investigation of the subject made by the officials of the Chicago fire- department and by the discussion of Senate Bill No.. 4319, introduced in the U. S. Senate Feb. 14, 1904, by Senator Elkins. Shortly after the burning of the Iroquois Theater, the officials of the fire department began an investigation of the storing of chemicals, explosives, and combustibles of all kinds in the city. During the progress of this investigation, it was claimed that in case of fire in a building in which ammunition ^as stored, the ability of the firemen to cope with the fire would be seriously lessened by the fear of injury from exploding cartridges, which would keep them at a distance from the burning building. To demonstrate the fallacy of this belief, the leading ammunition makers of the country made a test in Chicago which was witnessed by the officials of the fire department, fire insurance underwriters, and others. A large quantity of metallic cartridges and shotgun shells was burned in a fireof oil-soaked wood. The cartridges and shells exploded from time to time, but there was no general explosion or throwing of bullets or shot any distance. Throughout the test, the experts conducting it remained within about twenty feet of the fire without being injured in any way. The test proved conclusively that cartridges or shotgun shells when subjected to fire will not explode simultaneously, but piece by piece, and that the materials of which the cartridges and shells are com- posed will not fly over a few feet. In this connection the Winchester Repeating Arms Company have compiled some interesting statistics, gathered at numerous points, and have published the same with profuse illustrations, in a pamphlet that should be read by every sportsman. The publication can be secured upon request by addressing the com- pany at New Haven, Conn., or the Coast Agency 125-137 First St., San Francisco.

About a quarter of a century ago Eev- eral men in different localities started to breed up to a definite standard a new breed of cattle, with the object of produc- ing a breed resembling in tvpe and range of adaptability — the time honored Short- horns, but to be minus their horns, writes Win. A. Martin in Breeders' Ga- zette. These breeders thought their en- terprise justified by the eyer increasing demand on the part of cattlemen in gen- eral and feeders in particular for polled or dehorned cattle. A striking evidence of this demand for hornless cattle is the phenomenal distri- bution of the Angus breed, the first of which were imported as late as 1873. Soon after, during the eighties, the practice of dehorning was started, and in spite of prosecution and adverse court verdicts the saw and clipper continued their work. The people decided that horns on cattle were not only useless, but a direct source of loss, through the many dead and dis- abled animals. The third and most po- tent argument for hornless cattle is that they not only Ehip better, feed better but also sell from 10 to 50 cents better. A good sign that there was room for another breed is the strong demand that has always existed of good Polled Durham bulls. The chief cause for this demand was that a large number of Shorthorn breeders, tiring of the horns, tried a Polled Durham as a dehorning machine. In this capacity they have been a great Buccess. A potent reason for the foster- ing and development of the Polled Dur- ham is found in the fact that there are many people who, to quote one writer, "believed the Shorthorn ox to be the grandest Deast that walks the earth, but that even he would be improved if minus the horns." The question that naturally presents itBelf is: Whence came these cittle? Who were their ancestors? What breed of cattle laid a foundation so wide and deep that these newcomers could eo quickly and securely establish them- selves? We find that the Polled Dur- hams have been developed after two general lines— the single and the double standard. The single standard branch was started first. Several breeders, each ignorant of the work of the others, Btarted by select- ing good native muley cows and breeding them to Shorthorn bulls. The female progeny, if hornless, was bred to another Shorthorn. If a hornlets bull was se- cured he was crossed upon Shorthorn cows. This up-grading was very Blow, A California Irrigation Canal tedious and full of disappointments, yet a few persevered. In 1889 eight of these men held a meeting in Chicago, and the following year saw the incorporation of the American Polled Durham Breeders' Aasoeiation. By 1893 members of the as- sociation had attained such a preponder- ance of Shorthorn blood in their cattle that it was made a requirement for regis- tration after 1S99, that each animal have at least 96| per cent Shorthorn blood and have all the characteristic Shorthorn markings but no horns. Although these single standard cattle were a good, useful lot. Shorthorn men yersisted in calling them grades. The double Btandard branch or what , to-day constitutes the major part of the show herds and breeding cattle has had the following hiBtory: They originated in the spring of 1888, when Capt. Miller, Elmore, O., purchased from the McNair estate of Minneapolis the natural polled Shorthorn bull King of Kine, with more Polled Durhams as the result. Mr. J. H. Miller's famous show bull, Young Hamil- ton, waB also a natural polled animal, be- ing a White Rose, bred in Southern Ohio. Thus the double standard Polled Durhams are in reality a part of the Shorthorn breed and are eligible to record in the American Shorthorn Herd Book. Surprising as has been the rapid growth and development of the Polled Durhams, yet if one considers the quality of those few foundation animals it is not hard to understand. The breeders had royally bred animals to start with. Nellie and Mollie Gwynne had for their sire a bull i f such superior breeding and individuality as the 7th Duke of Hillhurst bulls, a pure Ducheas closely relat. d to the 8th Duch- ess of Geneva that topped the New York Mills sale in 1873 at $40,600. Polled Durhams have always had plenty of scale but somewhat lacked quality and refinement. Realizing this, breeders in- troduced into their herds blood of such good old families as the Young Mary, Gwynne, Kirklevington and numerous others, of late years perhaps more from such families as the Missie, Broadhooks, Orange Blossom and the like. Several breeders have used Shorthorn bulls of the low-down, blocky, beefy type upon their polled cows and thus attained the much needed quality and refinement. The breed is yet only in its infancy. The pioneers in its development are still with us and surely appreciate the commend- ing words of Col. FerguEon at the late In- ternational. The future of the Polled Durham, however, lies not so much with the old guard as with the young breeders of the country. Upon tLeir persever- ance, ability and devotion depends the ultimate success of the breed. There are those who maintain that it is necessary to churn every day in order to have^ high grade of butter. Over- ripe cream does not make the best butter. Jackson's Napa Soda untangles the feet. TROTTERS WANTED.

Perhaps more has been written and less accomplished in the discussion of the question of which is the best all purpose fowl than any other subject m poultry literature. Biddy herself deserves all the good things that can be written or said about her, for she fills her place in this world in Buch a substantial and admirable manner that there are none who would not do her honor. TVith any reasonable care she never goes on strike ; works from before sunrise until darkness drives her to the roost, rustling and restless, singing and cheerful, a fitting example for those that imagine themselves wise. But why a buS biddy is better than a black one or a white biddy excels a speckled one, is such an exceedingly fine point that great philosophers and the most discerning and scrutinizing intellects have exhausted their vast resources and vocabulary and accomplished — what— except confusion ? While comparisons are said to be odious it is impossible to avoid it at this time. Let us bunch the Asiatics and include Orpington and to compare any of them with Minorcas in egg: production would be the -very height of folly and afford substantial grounds for lunacy proceed- ings. "We take it for granted that in this there a e none bo foolish as to dispute us. For every new variety introduced it is the first claim made that they are abnormal and terrible egg producers, unparalleled, unprecedented and unapproachable. Even the big clumsy OrpingtonB laid claim to superior egg production, entirely, we might say, without reason or argument or facts to Bustain it. It is a standing joke among the more experienced fanciers, and many are generous enough to allow promoters of new varieties a Bhort de- lusive, visionary spell to give them a chance to introduce their breed to the public. With the possible exception of the Langshan, the above varieties scarce- ly lay any eggs at all, and stop altogether in warm weather. Quality of meat is a matter of taste, some preferring the greasy, oily, coarse, stringy meat of the Brahmaa, Cochins, Orpingtons, etc., while otherB prefer the fine-textured, gamey meat of the Minorcas and Houdans. To be English, ye know, you must like the Minorca; to be French the Houdan, and in all other things we ape them, and why is not their judgment good in the quality of meat of their favorite fowls? As to quality of dressed meat per gross weight, the Minorcas greatly excel, and for quality of breast meat the long-bodied Minorcas can wipe up the earth with all competitors. AU will agree that as a meat proposi- tion the Mediterraneans are blooming failures. They are just out, of the pigeon class, and scarcely get under the wire as a poultry proposition. For a family of two a large one might suffice; three to five would be enough for an ordinary family, and a dozen would be necessary if the Methodist preacher should visit you. They will lay about as many eggs as a Minorca (but no more), and about one- half the size. As they go sailing through the air like Homer pigeons they are a beautiful sight, even if the garden does get the worst of it. The fence that will confine them securely, the genius of man has not invented. As eggs sell by the dozen yet the owners of the Mediter- raneans can impose on a suffering public that an egg is an egg, and as this seems to be true, and there is no way of disproving it, what is there to do but to continue to buy them on that supposition ? The American class is a happy medium between Asiatics and Mediterraneans. As ei g producers 'hey do not compare to the f mailer ones, and as meat producers do not produce the quantity that the :r ones do. This is true, and stands ason, assertions to the contrary not- standing. The non-setters are the egg producers of the world ; the setters the meat producers. The quality of the meat is not quite so coarse and oily as the Asiatics but partakes largely of the flavor. As egg producers they lay neither the quantity nor 6ize as the Minorca. This is true, and assertions count for nothing before the fact. As to quality of meat, amount of breaft meat, egg production and the most good qualities as all purpose fowls, the Minorca and Houdan stand in a class by them- selves, indorsed by two great nations, England and France, as tbeir prime favorites. These nations are the farthest advanced in cooking, and their judgment is about final in any thing they advocate. Tbey reach conclusions after the most mature investigation. Concluding, we will Bay that for ege production, gentleness of disposition, rustling qualities, beauty, healthfulness, meat production and other desirable traits, the great Minorca iB all that is de- sirable, and stand in a class by them- selves like the great Jeffries, and challenge any three competitors combined to pro- duce aB many good qualities to enhance them in public favor. We say, all hail to the great Black Minorca, the unrivaled best all purpose fowl of today. Close Breeding in Sheep. For some reason, which is difficult to explain unless by the popular impression to this effect, it is supposed that to breed together closely-related animals is not only injudicious from a practical point of view, but is destructive, and in some sense immoral. Both these impressions, when well and practically considered, are easily perceived to be wholly baseless. On the solely moral aspect it is worse than this, indeed inclining to actual super- stition. We are most safely guided in this respect by experience, and this goes wholly against the popular impression and in favor of the practical deduction from common sense, that two parents unaffected by any other disqualification, whose qualifications otherwise are satis- factory, may be bred together with the best reBults, transmitting to the progeny the good qualities of each, and thus improving their practical value. If the shepherd sees fit to teBt this, there is no reason to fear any constitu- tional degradation of the progeny of any Buch close breeding. In fact, our beBt breeds of sheep are all the offspring of not only close but very close breeding, and none of us so far have found any reason to cast slurs on the proceBB chosen for the improvement of their flocks in this way. We have the experience of nature all in our favor in this respect, and it is wholly in this that the law laid down by one of the most successful of breeders and by science aB well, and an apparently un- impeachable one, that the "fittest alwayB survive" — that is, the strongest and best adapted to meet all the hardships and accidents of their environments succeed in living under the best conditions and best transmit their conditions to their successors, and so keep the race improv- ing and prospering. Necessarily, this is the rule in the existence of the wild animals, and we see no better example of its propriety. It is safe to follow nature. She has survived all the hardships and accidents of paBt ages, and all the time has been prospering; and the rule, in all natural conditions, has been constantly violating the popular idea that close inbreeding tendB to weaken the constitu- tion of animals and is destructive of their natural vigor. What better proof of this can we have than the fact that in spite of all kinds of obstacles, including those arising from the tyranny of mankind, and their rest- less and tireless efforts to exterminate them, so many wild sheep and deer and goats still defy the hunters' fatal guns? All these races are continued in existence through the unavoidahlu operation of that natural law that the strongest and most vigorous, having the power to do it, perpetuate themselveB. Close relation- ship goes for nothing in this. The strong males possess the females without any opposition, and thus the progeny gain all the strength of their able parents. We should then be content to adopt na- ture's successful methods, and as regards the breeding of our domestic animals, choose aB she does the strongest and best without regard to relationship. ThiB was the method of the most successful breeders by whom our present breeds of sheep were perfected, and bo far, for a century past, we have no cause for com- plaint in the least as to want of constitu- tion or any other indication of weakness in them. Note the thrift of the grand Leicesters, the masterpiece of Mr. Bake- well's genius in this direction ; the modern Shropshire, as well as the improved South- down, and grand Hampshire, and otners of our modern perfected sheep. In the light of all this, it seems almost aB though the contrary were true, and that in breed- ing sheep we should consider closeness of blood an additional element of value rather than a detriment — Country Gentle- man. m A Valuable Beef-Builder. Cattle prefer raBted wheat straw. This waB discovered in Australia some years ago when cattle were seen to neglect the regular bag chaff for the paddock of rusted wheat. It has been found by feeding tests that the rust in the wheat in no way in- juriously affects the animal feeding upon it. The opposite effect has been experi- enced. Cattle prefer the straw itself. This arouEed the curiosity of science. L at summer teBts were made with this straw in Canada. Some rust wheat was taken from the farm of Sir William Van Home at East Selkirk, Manitoba, and analyzed by Pro'essor Snutt at the gov- ernment experiment Btation The analy- sis showed the presence of 7.69 per cent of protein in the Btraw alone. The for- mer, therefore, contained three times as much of this most important food con- stituent as the latter. Another remarkable fact was discovered in the complete analyses of therusted and the full-grown wheat kernel. The rusted grain was shrivelled and about half the weight of the other. With the exception of a Blight increase in protein and some of the other constituents that predomi- nate in the bran, the composition of the rusted grain differed but little from the other. These factB are important to the beef breeder, who at all times is in aearch of a nutritious, cheap roughage. There are millions of pounds of this rusted wheat yearly in thia country. In Australia the whole area uaed to be burned off as being worthless.— Live. Stock Review. Feeding Swine on Alfalfa. We have never made a thorough test of how many hogs could be pastured on an acre of land, but we have experimented to determine how much corn is neceasary with alfalfa pasture to carry hogs and pigs through the summer Beason. Our experience in pasturing bogs on alfalfa without corn was unsatisfactory and we found that when the hogs had plenty of alfalfa and from one to one and a half pounds of corn each daily they would make a gain practically of one pound per a day. In other words, they would gain in flesh nearly as much in a day as the corn fed. We also found that the tota number of pounds of gain on a drove of 100 head of hogs that this email ration of corn did not coBt to exceed two cents a pound for the gain made We found that three or four hogB to the acre, and then cut the alfalfa three timeB juBt the same as we would had it not been paetured, was much more satisfactory than to run ten or twelve head of hogs to the acre and not cut the alfalfa. We can safely run thirty to fifty head of ho^'S on ten acres of alfalfa, cut it three timeB and hardly know that the hogs were on the alfalfa. During the past summer we made a gain of eight-tenths of a pound daily on hogs weighing an average of 100 pounda each by feeding only one pound of ground wheat to each hog. On thia paBture we run only about five head to the acre and cut the alfalfa three times and •ve could not tell the difference b:tween thia pasture carrying five hoga to the acre and the adjoining one not pastured at all. We have found that it was almost an im- possibility to get a hog to eat enough al- falfa hay during the winter to sustain life, but by cutting the hay fine with a feed cutter and mixing it with ground cornmeal, wetting it well, we can get them to eat from five to six pounda of dry alfalfa a day and in this way we winter them very satisfactorily, securing steady gain during the entire Beason. A'falfa, a laxative food, keeps the system in perfect order, and makes it safe to feed a larger quantity of corn than without it. The greatest trouble in getting the small pigs or shoats to eat alfalfa is that it is too coarse for them to digest, and we were not satisfied even with the cut alfalfa. Recently we have been grinding the al- falfa, mixing it with ground corn and feeding it aB slop Not only the small pigs and shoats, but the old brood aow8 have done much better than ever before on alfalfa meal and ground corn. — Farm Journal. » Sells Millions of Eggs. Russia is the largest seller of eggs in the world. She sells nearly every year to other countries 150,000,000 dozenB of eggs, and her sales are now constantly on the increase, showing that poultry raising is also on the increase. China iB supposed to be the largest producer of eggs in the world, but China keeps no egg statistics, so one can't tell exactly, but the Chinese are great egg eaters, and with the exception of a few million she lets the Japanese people have she keeps the rest for home use, and as there are over 400,000,000 people at home it takes a whole lot of eggs. The smallest farm home found anywhere in the empire is always supplied with a great flock of hens. * — m Mutton Chops. Roots, when fed with grain, produce choice mutton. The sheep may be herded on the root crop m the field, after which the crop can be pulled and stored before frost. The troughs for grain feeding Bhould be ten or twelve inches wide so that the sheep must eat Blowly. It is best in feeding not to carry the hay over the sheep's backs; it can be dropped from above to the racks, o placed in the racks from the endB or alleys.

[Breeders Gazette.] A great many years ago this journal Btated it as its belief that the drafter was the most profitable norse the farmer could breed. The enunciation drew down on the devoted head of the founder of the Gazette a storm of protest, but time has well proved the soundness of that con- tention The drafter is today 'and has always been the best equine money maker for the farmer. It boots not to go once more into the history of the frenzied effort made by farmers to breed trotters once Williams had shown up Astell and Aller- ton. History shows us that there is only one Astell and only one Allerton. Surely these many .years should have taught the farmer that speed breeding is not Lis game. The drafter is the horse for the J farm. But since the early days of this journal there has entered into the draft horse breeding field an element which did not' appertain thereto at first. That element is the desire on the part of the wealthy horse using firms to own the best. That is the element which has done more than anything else to boost the price of the show horse to the level on which it now rests Six hundred and sixty dollar geld- ings and thousand dollar teams were not in evidence when the gospel of the drafter was first preached by the late J. H. Sanders. And he builded better than he knew, for every farm owner who then followed his advice and since then has turned not to the right nor to the left but haB steadily stuck to the draft breed of his choice is now on easy street, with money in the bank and credit among his fellowmen. Today the opportunity of the breeder of drafters is greater than it ever was. For every show gelding he can produce there are ten men waiting to sign him a big check. When men can get $450 for three- year-old geldiogs and when it takes a firm almost fabulously wealthy a whole year in which to get together a mere matter of fifteen head of show horses, and when only a few of these are really heavy enough, the field certainly offers a most alluring prospect. There will be no turning nor twhting of the market on itB tracks. The show horse, the good horse, will from this on always command his price. Conditions are more stable than tbey were. To be sure we have only a few good drafters in the country. If there were far more their value would not drop. Here is a trade in which over-production is not to be feared. But where are we to find them? Some time ago we suggested that there was the best sort of a chance for some one to establish a business for himself in the pu.veying of high class draft geldingB to the men who desire to buy them. In the old countries such men are rich with money made from the fruits of their own endeavor. In Scotland for instance if a show gelding is wanted there is one man who may be relied on to fur nish him if he is to be found. It costs money to get such a horse and the profit is reaped by the yoeman who had the necessary grit and judgment to buy the winner when he was young. Never in all the history of the horse using trade was there such a glorious chance for some one to make a name for himself and opulence as well as there is right here and now in this very business. He would be the well paid go-between that must al- ways appear in all high-priced business. It will take a farm and money, but these are available on every hand. They are both cheap and plentiful. It only needs the man for the hour and surely the hour will produce him. A Four-Thousand-Dollar Bull. $4000 was paid. He is registered as Non- pareil King, 192,871, and weighs about 2100 pounds.

Conducted by J. De WITT. Pacific Coast Field Trials. [By Albert Betz.] The twenty -second annual trials of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club were held near Bakersfield, Kern County, Cal., throughout the week beginning- January 9, 1905 with the following stakes, viz: Derby, with seventeen starters — Purse $510, divided 50% to first, 30% to second, and 20% to third. In ad- dition each winner received a handsome and valuable trophy. All-Age, with twenty starters — Purse $470, divided 50% 30% and 20%, and trophies to each winner. Champion Stake — Prizes: Pacific Coast Champion Cup, to he won twice before becoming property of owner of winner, and cup do — for runner up. Members' Stake — Prizes: Trophiesdonated by mem- bers of the club. Mr. Henry L. Betten of Alameda, Cal., judged with impartiality and fairness, and his decisions were well received. He showed himself thoroughly familiar with climatic conditions and the habits of our birds, a great advantage over an Eastern man unfamiliar with our conditions and birds. The trials were the most successful ever held by the association. Conditions were perfect, and birds were plentiful. Of the seventeen Derby starters, none lacked bird work and none failed to take advantage of that fact. It is questionable if any field trials has ever disclosed such a splendid lot of Derbies; not a bad one amongst them. Ladylike, winner of first, is a worthy descendant of that grand and consistent performer, Terry's Lady. Mariposa, winner of second, is a hand- some black, whiteand tan Setter, and should be heard from in the future, as likewise should Del Rey Belle and Chiquita, awarded equal third. Harry H., winner of first in All-Age, haB several times competed in our trials without being placed, but has been a winner in the Pacific Coast Northwestern trials. He is stylish, a great ranger, and showed ex- cellent judgment in locating birds. Cuba Jr., winner of second, is well known to field trialers, being a winner not only in our trials but hav- ing taken many places in Eastern trials in his Derby year. Jay M., equal third with Ladylike heretofore men- tioned, is a splendid goer, and with better bird work will be hard to beat. Dr. Daniels in the Pacific Coast Champion Stake clearly demonstrated his superiority over the dogs entered against him. In this stake the heats were of two hours duration. The annual meeting of the club was held on Wed- nesday evening, January 11, and was largely attended. The following officers were re-elected for the ensuing year: W. W. Van Arsdale, San Francisco, President; CliDton E. Worsen, San Francisco, First Vice-Presi- dent; EL W. Keller, Santa Monica, Second Vice- President; Albert Betz, San Francisao, Secretary- Treasurer.

Monday, January 9, 1905— The start for the trial grounds was somewhat delayed on account of rain, but at about 10 o'clock, there being signs of clearing, a start for the grounds was made and the first brace, Nellie P., handled by Chas. Coutts, and Checkmate, handled by Dodge, were cast off in a field near Gosford Ranch at 11:40. After running some time Checkmate came to point, but handler could not raise birds. Nellie P. soon caught scant and came to point, steady to shot. Checkmate pointed a rabbit and was backed by Nellie. This was the only work done during the heat. Both dogs were good goers, though Nellie was best in range. Dp at 12:35. Romp On, handled by W. B. Coutts, and Modesto, handled by Babcock, cast off at 12:45. Birds were flushed by spectators after dogs and handlers had gone through them, and on dogs being turned Romp On was the first to find, the bird, however, flushing, the dog being steady to wing. On showed best in range, though Modesto was a very stylish goer, but was handicapped by reason of an injury received the day before. Romp again pointed and was backed by Modesto, both steady to wing, the bird flushing some distance ahead. Modesto also came to point, but a rabbit running within a few feet of her she left point and chased, soon, however, returning to handler. Up at 1:25. Luncheon was then partaken of at the Gosford Ranch, and at 2:40, the next brace: Romp, bandied by Fred Coutts, and Sir Roderick, handled by W. B. Coutts, were cast off. Roderick soon ran into a bevy, but was steady to flush, and immediately afterwards came to point, evidently on running birds. Romp also pointed and Roderick backed to command. Rod- erick showed better range and speed, and shortly wheeled into a fine point, backed by Romp, and both were steady to shot. Each had several points, but Roderick had the better of the heat. Dp at 3:35. Burbank, handled by W. B. Coutts, and Cuba's Japan, handled by Dodge were cast off at 4:05 in a field below Canfield Ranch, after birds had been flushed from trees into open ground with none too much cover. Both were good merry workers, Bur- bank having a shade the better in range and speed. Each dog's condition being right and birds plentiful, they made a nuruber of points in full view of spec- tators, though when first put down they unexpectedly ran upon birds and flushed a number before pointing. Both were steady to shot and wing. Up at 4:35. Last brace o ' the day. Tuesday, January 10. — Rain had again fallen during the night but the morning showed clearing weather and a fairly early start was made. Weather was cool, however, and the conditions most favorable Mariposa, handled by Babcock, and Kenwood handled by Fred Coutts, were cast off at 10:15 in a field known to the old timers, as the "mule field" — an open country with good cover and birds plentiful. Both fast, stylish, merry workers and good rangers, with Mariposa slightly the better in these respects, but liking rabbits. Soon after being down, Kenwood came to point, backed by Mariposa, but moved on, then again pointed but the handler could not raise bird. Mariposa was first to find birds, being steady to shot, four birds rising. Kenwood pointed but the bird flushed, steady to wing. Mariposa soon dropped to point in high cover, but moved on, again dropping to point, the bird being flushed by handler. Kenwood made another point from which the bird flushed, steady to wing. Both missed opportunities to point. Up at 10:55. Del Rey Belle, handled by Chas. Coutts, and Youley, handled by Carlisle, were cast off at 11 a. m. near where the la6t brace was taken up; cover good with birds in quantity. Belle was first to find, snap- ping into a nice point, to which she was steady to shot. Youley also pointed and was backed by Belle. Both steady. Belle shortly pointed a small bevy but flushed, which was followed by a point by Youley on a running bird to which he was backed by Belle. Both made several more points, one by Belle being of a sensational order. Both were somewhat unsteady at times. Belle having the better of the heat, being the best goer and having a high head. Up at 11:35. Rival, handled by W. B. Coutts, and Bolin's Duke, handled by Chas. Coutts, were cast off at 12 m. near Canfield vineyard. Rival had been presented the day previous by J. E. Terry to Master Fargo Rose. Con- ditions in the vineyard were not of the best, but birds were in abundance. Duke was first to point and was somewhat unsteadily backed by Rival. Rival pointed and bird flushed, steady to wing. He again pointed but shortly after moved on, probably running bird, as cover was sparse. This was repeated several times. Duke made another point and was steady to shot. Up at 12:50 Thence to lunch at Gosford Ranch. Ladylike, handled by W. B. Coutts, and Chiquita, handled by Lucas, were cast off at 2:15 in a field east of the Canfield schoolhouse, where birds had been found the day before. Both were splendid, merry workers, wide rangers and gave the best exhibition up to that time. No birds were raised in this field but were found in adjoining field where some splendid work was had to thedelight of the spectators Lady- like had six points to her credit to four for the dog and was steadier than the latter. Up at 2:55. Fandango, handled by Lucas, was cast off at 3 P. M. in same field in direction where birds had been seen to go. When down only a few moments she ran into birds and flushed small bevy, and was inclined to chase, but was headed off by handler. In addition to being handicapped by deafness 6he ran into a barbed wire fence and injured herself so that she waB out of the running, but held on gamely to end of heat. Up at 3:30. This ended the first series and the judge stated that he would announce dogs taken into second series when grounds on which next brace was to be run were reached. The announcament was as follows— eight being carried in io second series: Nellio P. with Sir Roderick, Ladylike with Mariposa, Del Rey Belle with Burbank and Chiquita with Cuba's Japan. SECOND SERIES. Nellie P.-Sir Roderick— Cast off at4 P. M. Roderick showed better range and speed, but the bitch was not far behind in that respect. He, however, was inclined to chase rabbits. Roderick was first to find, and on bird being flushed immediately made another, to which he was steady to shot. Nellie made one point but was outclassed by Roderick. Up at 4:35. Mariposa-Ladylike — Cast off at 4:40 in Section 17. This was a fine going brace, wide rangers and fast, showing classy work. Lady soon came to point under a tree, and was nicely backed by Mariposa. No birds, however, were raised. When the judge and riders came to where she had pointed birds were flushed from trees. Lady had evidently pointed on Bcent where they had been a short time before. Sent on she crossed dry ditch and came to a snappy, Btylish point, to which a bird was flushed, she being steady to shot. Aside from pointing a rabbit, this was the only bird work done in the heat. Ladylike was bet- ter in speed and range. This concluded the day's running. Wednesday, January 11.— Del Rey Belle-Bur- bank — Cast off in Section 16, ground not heretofore run on. Both were fast goers, showing great range, but until on birds, ran as a pair, one trailing the other, probably due to their being kennel mates. Burbank was first to reach birds, which were in lively cover, but he flushed a small bevy, then came to point on a single, which was flushed by Belle stealing in. Bur- bank again pointed and was backed by Belle. Sent on the latter snapped into a fine point and was steady. Another point was made by Burbank. Up at 10 A. M. One of the Derby dogs having been forgotten, sev- eral braces Of the All-Age were run before the com- pletion of the Derby, the last brace of which, Chi- quita-Cuba's Japan, was cast off at 3:40 p. m. Japan seemed to be "off." He did not come up to his race of the day before and was greatly outclassed by Chi- quita, the latter having four points to the former's two. Both somewhat unsteady. Chiquita sustained her pace and range of the day before. Up at 4:35. At the conclusion of this heat Judge Betten an- nounced the vinners as follows: First— J. E. Terry's Ladylike. Second — W. W. Van Arsdale's Mariposa. Equal Third — Rose & Christensen's Del Rey Belle, A. Gregory Cadogan's Chiquita. ALL-AGE STAKE. The drawing for the All-Age Stake with twenty starters was held on Tuesday evening, January 11 and resulted as follows: W. W. Van Arsdale's Setter bitch Keepsake with J. E. Terry's Setter dog Kilgarif. Stockdale Kennels' Pointer bitch Midget with J. A. Peeble's Setter dog Uncle Jimmie Whitestone. W. J. Morris' Pointer bitch Faith with Rose & Christensen's Setter bitch Belle Fontaine. C. H. Shaw's Pointer dog Oak Knoll with W. W. Van Arsdale's Setter dog Harry H.

Terry's Setter bitch Ladylike with Wm. Dormer's Mariposa (the latter haviog changed hands since completion of Derby.) W. W. Van Arsdale's Setter dog Jay M. with J. W. Flynn's Pointer dog Burbank. Wednesday, January 1 1— The first All-Age brace cast off was Keepsake-Kilgarif, down at 10:10 in same field (Sec. 16) where first Derby brace of the morning had been run. Both were wide rangers and although greatly unequal in size, Keepsake being one of the smallest Setters seen in trials, their speed was about the same. Kil was first to find, pointing a running bird, but holding his point. This waB followed by a point by Keepsake, Kil backing — both steady — Kil secured another point, being backed by Keepsake, and toward end of heau the latter pointed in heavy cover, being steady to shot. Up at 11:04. Keepsake handled by Babcock, Kilgarif by Coutts. Midget, handled by Carlisle, and Uncle Jimmie Whitestone, handled by Lucas, were cast off in ad- joining Section (171 and were at once in birds before finishing cast. Both at first ran through birds which flushed all about. Midget was first to find, dropping to point and was steady to shot. Jimmie followed with a point, but the bird flushed, the dog being some- what unsteady. Jimmie was a bit uncertain in points though wider in range and faster, Midget being better on birds. Both made several points and backs, Midget having the greater number to her credit. Up at 12:05. January 21, 19C5J ®itc ^vselsex ants g^purtsrocm 8 Faith, handled by Carlisle, and Belle Fontaine, handled by W. B. Coutts, were cast off in a field south of Frazier's at 12:40, and this proved the only brace throughout the trials finding no birds. Neither bitch was in condition to run, and neither showed range or speed. At the conclusion of the heat lunch was par- taken of at the Gosford Ranch. Oat Knoll, handled by Carlisle, and Harry H., handled by Babcock, were cast off at 2:25 in field be- low the Canfield Ranch into which birds had been flushed. Harry H. showed greater range and more speed than the Pointer and outclassed him in style and bird work. Harry was first to find, three birds be- ing flushed, and quickly dropped to another point, being steady in each instance. The Pointer followed with a point from which the bird flushed and he was steady to wing. Each made several more points and each on occasion backed. Both were steady to wiDg and shot, but Harry excelled in the respects above mentioned. The bird work was all done in full view of the spectators who highly appreciated the work of the dogs. Up at 3:10. This was the last brace of the All-Age, there being a brace of Derbies to be run. Thursday, January 12. — An early start was made and the first brace, Cuba Jr. handled by Dodge and McCloud Boy, handled by Babcock were cast off at the farthest point of the club's preserves, at 9:15 A. M. It was known where the birds lay and the dogs were cast off in another direction before being put on birds. McCloud Boy was better in range, speed and style, but was outclassed by the Pointer in bird work. Cuba Jr. found first, pointing a small bevy, steady to shot, following with a point on a single which flushed. These were followed by several more points, on one of which he was backed by McCloud Boy. The latter at first, seemed unable to locate birds, but later made two points, on one of which he broke in and was in- clined to chase — on bird work the heat belonged to Cuba— Up at 9:55. Sombra handled by Coutts and Policy Girl handled by Lucas were cast off at 10:15 at further end of same same field. Both were good rangers and were speedy, although Policy Girl had some difficulty in locating birds. Policy was first to come to point, but no bird could be raised. Sombra soon followed with a point to which she was steady, and on another point was backed by Policy Girl. Girl again pointed, pre- sumably on running bird. Sombra made anotherstylish point Deing steady to shot. Up at 10:45. Count's Mark, handled by Babcock with Glenwood handled by Dodge were cast off in same field, but failed to do any bird work, although birds were flushed by handlers and spectators. Glenwood made one point, evidently on running bird- as none could be raised. Count's Mark showed best in range, style and speed. Up at 11:30. Valita, handled by Lucas and Avalon, handled by Babcock, were cast off in field adjoining Canfield schoolhouse, at 11:50 and after a short run were soon on birds. Both were good workers and were staunch, though Valita was scarcely in condition for a hard race. Point after point was made by the dogs, each backing on occasion, and their work was much ad- mired by the spectators. Avalon had somewhat the better of the heat. Ladylike, handled by Coutts and Mariposa, handled by Babcock, were cast off after lunch, at 2:15 below Canfield ranch. Lady was first to find, but the bird evidently ran as her handler could not raise a bird. Mariposa flushed and was steady to wing — then made a long chase after a rabbit, and appeared, on his re- turn, the better for it. Lady pointed near fence, backed by Mariposa, but left point as bird went through fence. Up at 2:57. Jay M., handled by Babcock and Burbank, handled by Coutts. Down at 3:35 in field adjoining Canfield schoolhouse Burbank was first to point, but moved on when handler want in, and again pointed on edge of plowed ground, and bird was seen to flush. Jay M. pointed twice in quick order, Burbank soon after whirled to a snappy point where bird had been seen to flush. BurbanK again pointed and was backed by Jay M. Jay M. dropped to flush, Burbank again pointed in open ground, holding his point until bird was flushed by handler, and later Jay M. ran in and flushed birds and was steady to wing. Burbank ap- peared to have the better of the heat. Both were good rangers and were fast goers, Jay M. probably having the better of it in speed and range Up at 3:35. This ended the first series and after reaching new grounds Judge Betten announced the following dogs taken into second series: Keepsake with Ladylike; Cuba Jr. with Harry H; Sombra with Jay M; Avalon with Uncle Jimmie Whitestone; Kilgarif and Mariposa in reserve. Keepsake-Ladylike — Down at 4:45 in Section 17. Both good goers, ranging well and showing great speed. Lady came to point though no bird was raised, but was backed by Keepsake. Later Lady made point from which bird was flushed, and the heat ended, when almost dark, with no further bird work. Friday, January 13— The first brace, Cuba Jr. and Harry H., were cast off at 8:25. Harry H. was better in range, style and speedrwhile Cuba showed better in bird work, little of this, however, being done — Cuba dropping to flush. Up at 8:45. Sombra-Jay M. — Down at 9:15. Little bird work was done by this brace, Jay M. having the better of it, Sombra not sustaining her previous performance. Up at 9:50. Avalon-Uncle Jimmie WhiteBtone — Down at 10:08 in Section 17 Both dogs soon pointed after running over birds, Jimmie being steady to shot. Avalon pointed, but left point Uncle soon again pointed, and bird flushed. Avalon also pointed but was some- what unsteady to shot. Uncle Jimmie showed better speed and range. Up at 10:30. Keepsake-Ladylike — The last brace of the All-Age were put down at Canfield schoolhouse at 10:10, and within a few moments both came to point within a short distance of each other. Ladylike was steady to shot, while Keepsake was inclined to chase when bird was flushed. Lady soon after dropped to flush and was steady to wing. Lady again pointed, being backed by Keepsake. Lady once again pointed and Keepsake coming up stole in and dropped as bird flushed. This proved the last brace of the All-Age and at its conclusion Judge Betten announced the winners as follows: Harry H , first; Cuba Jr., second; Ladylike and Jay M., equal third. pacific coast champion stake. This stake had four entries, viz: W. W. Van Arsdale's Pointer dog Dr. Daniels with J. E. Terry's Lady; Stockdale Kennels' Cuba Jr. with J. E Terry's Kilgarif. In this stake the heats were of two hours' duration. Lady handled by Coutts; Dr. Daniels by Babcock, down at 12:10 in what is known as the "mule field." In this heat a great deal of territory was covered and the dogs were down a considerable length of time be fore being put on birds, in which work as well as in staying qualities, Dr. Daniels greatly excelled, doing the better bird work, and sustaining his speed to the end, while Lady appeared to give out. In point work Dr. Daniels had much the better of it. Kilgarif handled by Coutts and Cuba Jr. by Dodge, were placed down after luncheon, whicb had been brought to the field in Section 17. and after working out this section for a considerable length of time with- out finding birds, were taken across into another field where birds were found in quantity. Both dogs went well for some time, but the gruelling heats which they had previously run in the All-Age soon told on them and they slowed up considerably toward the end of the heat. Kilgarif maintained much better speed and range than Cuba and both made six or seven points to which they were steady. After the two hours run, the judges, H. W. Keller, having acted with Judge Betten, announced Dr. Daniels as winner with Lady as runner up MEMBERS' STAKE. The drawing for the Members' Stake took place on Friday evening, five entries being made, and resulted as follows: H. W. Keller's Setter bitch Sombra with J. W. Flynn's Pointer dog Burbank. J. M. Donley's Setter dog Monterey (litter brother to Sombra) with Hugh Hopkins' Setter bitch Rosa Ohm. (The latter was untrained and had never been on birds.) S. Christensen's Setter bitch Belle Fontaine a bye. Ten dollars to enter. The prizes were a trophy to each winner. Saturday, January 15— Sombra, handled by H. W. Keller, and Burbank, handled by J. W. Flynn, were cast off near Gosford orchard. Sombra did nearly all the bird work, making several points in a field where birds had been flushed by riders. The Pointer raDged well but seemed unable to locate, though he backed the bitch on one of her points in the open field. Sombra had much the better of it in bird work and in range. This was the best going brace in the stake. Monterey-Rosa Ohm — Handled by the respective owners. Down in a new section known as the "cat field" where birds were plentiful. Monterey, a trained dog, made the only points in this heat, though his range was limited. The bitch had never before been down and had no experience on birds, her owner entering her merely to encourage the sport. Belle Fontaine, handled by S. Christensen was the bye dog, and at his request Judge Post ran his bitch, Merry Heart in company with Belle. Belle, while ranging well, although down nearly an hour, and having ample opportunity, flushing many birds, failed to make a point while Merry Heart being un- prepared and heavy in whelp scored several. After the dogs were ordered up, the Judge announced his decision as follows: First, Sombra; second, Burbank; third, Monterey. This ended the most successful trials ever run by the association and was probably the best field trials run in the country during a year past. SUMMARIES.

The method of distribution of the pnzeB in the various events, excepting the Championship Stake, was by choice, the winning owners selected the trophies in the order of precedence by wins. Wm. Dormer asked for a price on Mariposa before the Derby was run. Mr Van Arsdale offered to take S150 for the Setter, the offer was closed by Mr. Dormer, who surely became the owner of a high class English Setter for an exceeeingly small sum. Mr. Van Arsdale's liberality in the sale is in keeping with his reputation as a thorough sportsman. He knew what Mariposa was but concluded to let him go for the reason that he had more dogs in his kennels than he cared for. Jos. E. Terry was so impressed with the enthusiasm and brightness of young Fargo Rose that he presented him with a corking good Setter, Rival a Derby dog, on the field. ______ The arrangements carried out by the club officials this year won warm encomiums from the sportsmen in attendance at the trials. The Origin and Development of the Pointer. Who has not heard of the Pointer, and where IB the Bportsman that has not gloried in Mb outline, his speed, his nose, his beauty and his intelligence? In the northern country to-day, where the sportsman is afield, he is the apple of his eye, the most worshipped of all the gun dogs. For, like the Spaniel, the Pointer s everywhere. England, once the hotbed of the good-looking pointing dogs, may at the present moment not be able to hold her ownin bench Pointers with America and Russia, but still she retains the working strains that have graced the kennel of gen- eration after generation of the Squirearchy of the other side. The slow, slobbering Pointers, or dogs asked to find partridges to be flown at Falcon in the early part of the season, have given way to the more elegant Pointer — beautifully modelled creature such as we often see in the field and in the exhibition ring, so writes Fred Freeman Lloyd. The evolution of the Pointer from what may he described as the bloodhoundy type to the modern English Foxhound kind has taken, perhaps, close on one hundred and fifty years. He is essentially, above all others, a dog of utility, and as the Pointer has always been looked upon as one of the chief helpmates of the man who loves to take his pleasure behind a well-broken brace of dogs, a pair of barrels and straight powder, it stands to reason that that man has called in all his ingenuity and all his knowledeg of breeding to provide himself with a sporting dog that is best adapted for the sport that is provided for him. Therefore, in some places in America, where the plains are so vast, a very fast and wide-ranging Pointer is required — one, too, with ''bird sense." Where true ranging, a good nose and staunchness on game are to be found embodied in one single dog, there, perhaps, have we found the perfect animal, and a retrieving Pointer at that. The universality and utility of the Pointer is patent. Some of us have shot over him in many countries, and strange ones, too. On hot and arid - continents, such as Africa and Australia, I have found him to be able to go a considerable time without water. The veldt has been as hard as brick, and the Darling Downs of drought-stricken Queensland have gaped and cracked in supplication for rain, but the Pointers went about their allotted tasks with the on- thusiasm of the second season dog at the dawn of the first of September in more privileged parts north of the equator. As in other breeds of dogs, there are all sizes and Borts of Pointers. The short-headed, cloddy- shouldered and often weak-thighed and cow-hocked Pointer haB gone by the board. It stands to reason that, although the cart-horse can gallop, he cannot gallop with the thorough-bred — the clean-necked, oblique-shouldered, deep-hammed, live racing ma- chine. Half a day of real going will knock up the heavy-headed, loose-throated Pointer. He has had to give way to the more elegant quantity; but even such as he should not be too small. You are likely to lose sight of him in any cover of note, and that is not as it should be. At the leading shows in the United States the Pointer dogs are divided by weights, as are the bitches. There are classes for dogs under 55 pounds, and for dogs 55 pounds and over; for bitches under 50 pounds and for bitches 50 pounds and over. There can be little doubt that English Foxhound blood was intioduced into the Pointer, and we are told that subsequently the progeny was bred in and in. It will be found in Vol. II of Taplins' Sporting Dictionary, published just one hundred years ago, that the writer of the Pointer contribution had a deal to say about the Foxhound cross. So fast was the Pointer of his day (1803) that in many caseB we are told that the galloping — nay, coursing qualities — of the Foxhound proper were so pronounced that a badly broken or ill-mannered Pointer, such as he was then, could run into, and, of course, kill, a leveret three pa**ts grown. Now we all know the speed of the hare, he >v she will twist, turn and swerve, using all her st^ed, activity and cleverness that often more than kes an exhibition of a good greyhound. Without e stamina of lepus timidus in the consciousness of <■ prime, it will be admitted that a leveret can travel pretty fast, so the Pointers of a century ago must have been fast enough even for our friends in the West. One hundred and fifty years ago Pointers entirely white, or with liver-colored spots, were hardly ever seen. There was a strain owned by the then Duke of Kingston, and those were black and white. They were considered superior to any dogs then in England, and at the death of their owner they were60ld, and brought fabulous priceB. There are strains of all liver and of all black Pointers in England, America, and South Africa today. They are highly prized. Certainly, one of the best Pointers it has ever been my good fortune to look over was a liver dog — Bent- ley's Nap — the property of E. J. Pullinger, one of Johannesburg's (Transvaal) gold kings. Perhaps a little short in head, his Nap was nearly all a Pointer should be— standing, as he did, on fore legs — as straight as corduroy, and these let into nice, sloping shoulders that in their turn had afore them a neck that was long, well-poised, clean, round and free from hang or leather; his body was short, deep and rounded. There was the spring of rib and width and keel of brisket and frame that gave him heart and lung room. Day in and day out Mr. Pullinger's dog would go with almost the speed of a Greyhound, and with the deter- mination of a devil. Down his back, along his spine, was a suspicion of a groove, that ended with his wide and muscularloins, the middlepiecethat kept together the propelling powers of his deep, long, muscled and sinewed hams and thighs. Travel with me with your mind's eye to his well-bent stifles and let-down hocks, as free in their movement and as strong withal as the hinges on a bank safe. Have we finished with him? Nay! Glance for a moment at his cat-like feet, bent, strong knuckles, and pads as pliable yet as lough as rubber; his stern set on in the right place, somewhat thick at the butt, and tapering to the point like an otter's poll. In Buch as he, have we well nigh the perfect pointing dog. The Pointer is considered a gentleman's dog when he is steady to bird, dog and gun. Of course.it is not meant to convey that such a dog Is only fit for those sportsmen who live and have their being in high places — far from such a thought for a millionth part of a moment. But the man who goes abroad and seeks his pleasure with his gun and his Pointer knows fnlly well that a half-broken dog is an abomination. The eye delights, the heart throbs with joy, the senses tingle with gratification at the sight of a good dog at work. He will Btand, and stand steadily when the wind bears down to him the sought-for scent of his game; he will back if the other dog gets the point; he will point instantaneously when he sees the other pointing; he will not stir from his point upon the firing of any gun in company, provided the game is neither sprung nor started, at which he made his original point. A hundred and twenty or thirty years ago breaking a Pointer or Setter to point was looked upon as a mysterious business. It can be easily imagined, as men were not foolB even in those days, that those who knew all about it kept the so-called secret to them- selves. They would hardly be expected to tell the wondering yokel that pointing game was as natural, or perhaps we might say, as hereditary to the point- ing dog as was hunting and watering to the Spaniel, ratting to the Terrier, coursing to the Greyhound, or fighting to the fighting dog. Yet so it is, and Pointers bred from broken or trained parentB are more t ractable than those whose parents' lives have been spent among the somewhat veneered existence of show life, or the unspeakable horrors of the city back yard. Discipline is required in a Pointer — discipline that is not welted into him by the aid of a heavy whip or thrice-wicked shod foot. Teach him as a puppy to drop to hand when you require him to do so; show him game, encourage him to draw on to the birds, drop him with studied severity when the birds flush, never minding about your hag (which might be after all, but your own greed), and you will not be far from possessing what every one in the world is after, and that is a Pointer that shall be a credit to you and the talk of your county. As in the days of the falconer and the times of the netter, so must the Pointer always remain one of the greatest of blessingB at the beck and call of the sportsman afoot, after winged and certain kindB of furred game. bait and hook so strenuously that the barbed steel had to be cut out of the fish's stomach. One reason alleged why striped bass are so plenti- ful at all times in San Antone slough is that the set net fishermen, who illegally anchored their nets at the mouth of Petaluma creek, have been discouraged by several recent seizures of their tackle. P. J. Walsh of Black Point, who is a deputy fish commissioner, discovered and captured two immense nets within the past two months. One of these nets was over a mile in length, and held down by a number of heavy fluked mud anchors; the other was about half a mile in length. The value of the seized nets was nearly $1,000. The confiscated fishing gear was taken to Petaluma to await the claim of owners who were willirg to plead guilty and pay the usual fine for fish law violations of this character. The largest net taken weighed oown a four-ton salmon boat until the gunwales were about eight inches above the water's surface. After the nets were set out, the fishermen, to avoid observation, would anchor their boat off in the bay a mile a way. This trick was for the purpose of evad- ing arrest by being caught in the act of illegal net fishing. The nets were so placed as to leave the chan- nel open for the passage up and down the creek of the steamer and sailing craft. The fishermen had been in the practice of setting out the nets in the evening on a flood tide. In this manner fish going up stream were captured, and on the out-going ebb bass coming down with the tide would find their way to the bay barred by the deadly set net, thus the poachers made a double haul of striped bass. The time for gathering of the spoils was during low tide, when the net was lying, with its finny victims enmeshed, high and dry on the long stretch of mud flat. The fishermen have a board con- trivance, with a barrel or large box setting upon it, similar in devise to the "clamboard" used by Chinese clam diggers. The dead wagon is propelled rapidly over the slippery mud alongside the serpentine length of the collapsed net. from which neither ducks nor fish can escape. The fish caught are then disengaged from the gill me6hes. Any of the large bass that show signs of life are knocked on the head with a hammer, for handling a ten or fifteen pound bass in sticky, knee deep blue mud is not a safe adventure, for these fish are armed with spiny dorsal and pectoral fins that can make cruel wounds in hands that are careless, or, for that matter, the spines will easily pierce through a gum boot. Striped Bass Notes. Devotees of striped bass fishing have found most of the nearby favorite salt-water fishing resorts de- cidedly non-productive recently, with the agreeable exception of San Antone slough. On this prolific basB confluent of Petaiuma creek results have been most encouraging — in fact, a day on this water is found to be worth the trip to BurdellB. On the 8th inst, about thirty fishermen were out in boats, tempting the wary fish with succulent clams. One of the best catches made during last week was on Thursday, when A. M. Cumming landed a dozen fish, four of the bass weighing over fity pounds. Among the other and successful rodsters out on that day were Frank Marcus, Mr. Johnson and A. S. Church, whose largest bass weighed 164 pounds. The weather was extremely cold on Thursday, a week ago, which condition of temperature, it was be- lieved, had a corresponding effect on the fish, instead of taking the baits with a nibble or two followed by a rush, the fish seemed to cautiously mouth the bait before quietly engorging it, this in a manner not made apparent to the angler by the usual signals from be- low. After a fish would swallow the bait it moved away very slowly, and a number of fish were very securely hooked before the angler was aware of his luck. Several bass caught were found to have taken Steelhead Angling Notes. The rod-weilding fraternity of this city, those of them that visited Point Reyes up to Friday of last week, had excellent sport with the fresh run of big steelhead trout that recently swam in from the ocean waters and took up temporary position in the tide water pools of Paper Mill creek awaiting opportunity for a trip up stream to spawn. This chance came with the recent rainfall that raised the stream and stopped temporarily further sport for the anglers. The sport commenced about a week previous, when a number of nice-sized fish were taken. Among the catch was a nine-pounder landed by Frank Dolliver. On Sunday last "Del" Cooper, J. M. Thomson, James Lynch, "Pop" Carroll, Bert Spring, Joseph Pincus "Abe" Banker and Frank Rompf found the stream conditions almost ideal for steelhead angling. Cooper hooked a big trout on a spoon Tho fish, however, broke loose after a hard struggle. The fisherman then rigged up with bait and had another unavailable argument with the same fish. Bert Spring prospected the pool and finally landed the battling trout, which scaled nearly ten pounds and was found to be a female fish full of roe. Carroll hooked an", landed a twelve pounder, which proved to be a "spent" fish. Another angler caught an eight-pound "buck" trout near the bridge. Dolliver and Banker fished the "White House" pool on the following Monday afternoon. Two mon- ster trout cleaned out their tackle in short order. A couple of nice fish were then landed, after which ex- perience the two anglers were once more robbed of their running gear, Dolliver breaking -a stout green- heart rod as well. On Tuesday S. A. Wells, Bert Spring and Clarence Ashlin tried the stream. Notwithstanding that most of the fish previously noticed in the pools had evi- dently gone out with the tide, Spring landed a ten pound fish after a grand fight. Wells shortly after- ward succeeded in bringing a fourteen pounder to gaff. This fish was taken on a No. 4 brass Wilson spoon. Ashin, although he had several strikes, was unlucky and failed to connect. John Butler, Charles Linn and son, John Schloen, Mr. Gordon and Mr. Dougal landed several fish on Thursday. Besides the large fish above mentioned, a considerable number of smaller fish were taken. Despite the threatened storm which sent the fisher- men home on Friday last week-, a number of the "regulars" were at the Point last Sunday. Fishing for steelhead will be over on February 1. A close season will then prevail until April 1. It is lawful now to catch steelhead in tide waters only, despite the statutory permission to fish for the present in tide water/many violations of the law have been reported as taking place in the Paper Mill above the tide water limit by parties who spear fish. This unsportsmanlike method is claimed to be one of annual recurrence in that section. The Russian river near Duncans is reported to be still too high and muddy for good fishing. This re- sort is a favorite one with many anglers. If there is a chance for any sport before the close season prevails a number of local anglers propose to give the stream a final test.

The California Live Stock Sanitary Association, an organization composed of the different official veterinarians throughout the State, and whose object is to have passed bills to aid the cattle- growers of the State, came into existence Monday afternoon at the Palace Hotel. Sixteen veterinarians, representing coun- ties from every section of the State, were present beside a number of stock men, who were not eligible to membership, but who made talks and offered advice. The meeting was called to order by Charles Keane, who is responsible for the existence of the association, and who acted as chairman pro tern, until C. L. McGowan, city veterinarian for Sacra- mento, was elected president The offices of secretary and treasurer were comb ned the association are to De $2 a year. After the by-laws have been adopted the com- mittee was empowered to frame a consti- tution and to present it at the next meet- ing. After the association had been formally organized Charles Keane read a bill which is to be presented at the present session of the Legislature. The bill provides that the Board of Supervisors in all counties be empowered to appoint county veteri- narians, at a salary to be determined by the Board of Supervisors. In speaking of the bill Keane said: "It is vital for the health of any community that a regular veterinarian be appointed, with power to condemn diseased animals, especially milch cows, one of the greatest causes for the spread of tuberculosis. In many of the counties this office does not exist, and it is for this purpose that the present bill is offered." Keane said that Senator Lynch of San Luis Obispo county had promised to father the bill. The meeting closed with the reading and diBCUBsion of two papers, one on "Glanders," by Dr. T. Carpenter of Ala- The Perchekon Stallion "Fresno" into one and were given to Keane. A committee of five to arrange the constitu- tion and bylaws for the organization was elected as follows: The president, the secretary, Dr. E. A. Archibald of Oak- land, Dr. George Baker of San Francisco and Dr. F M- Sawyer of Bakersfield. After the committee was elected a recess of ten minutes was taken and a set of by-laws was drafted. The by-laws stated that the meetings are to take place on the second Tuesday in December of each year; that the officers are to be elected for one year and that the dues of meda and the other on "Tuberculosis," by Dr. George S. Baker, Federal veteri- narian for the port of San Francisco. It does no harm to cover milk after it is cool, warm milk should be left un- covered until it has cooled to at least 50 degrees. It seems impossible to obtain milk ab- solutely free from bacteria This is probably right, as the presence of the bacteria causes it to clabber and the cream to rise. Anticipation The Salivary Cure. "Your horse is off his feed a little," said the veterinary surgeon. "Give him, for a week or two, his hay and oats on the ground instead of from a stall. That will put him on his feet, I think." "I shall follow your advice, sir," said the owner of the horse "but at the same time I must admit that I fall to see the logic of it." "The logic of my advice is clear," the surgeon asserted. "The natural way for a horse to eat is off the ground, is it not? The iiorse is a grazing animal; the wild horse, going from pasture to pasture, ate from the ground only and always. "It follows that the modern horse is fitted to eat best from the ground. It is only when eating with the head lowered in this manner that the animal's saliva flows as freely as it should. Let your horse eat from the ground awhile — give him what we may call the salivary nature cure — and I guarantee that in a week he will be well again." — Exchange. Secret or Danish Butter Making are not allowed to wear sleeves below the elbow. They wear white linen caps and aprons, and must not only wash the bag of the cow, but also wash their own hands before milking, each time. Everything fed the cow is prepared with great care — the quality and quan- tity is known, as nearly as possible. In the pastures every weed is pulled and the cow is not permitted to eat anything that will in any way taint the milk. The cream is carefully pasteurized. In short, the secret of Danish butter- making is perfect cleanliness and eterna vigilance, hut the result is a product that will go through the tropics or the circumpolar region and come out stand- ing up. — C. A. Harrison in Farm. Jour- nal. The DaneB love their cows and give them every comfort; and the cows, not to be outdone in devotion, do their very best. All the stables I visited were fire- proof, had concrete floors, and there was water so arranged that everything could be washed. Each Btall had a tablet with the name of the cow, date of birth, pedigree, etc. There was also a slate on which a daily record was kept. If a cow is sick she is at once separ- ated from the other animals and taken to the hospital. It is a crime in Den- mark to use or sell milk from a sick cow. The milking is done by women who When the cream is perfectly ripened before churning the churn gets out more of the fats and the buttermilk carries away less. Although Jerseys are disposed to breed very young,some prefer that they should not come fresh until two or two and a half years old. It is sometimes difficult to know just where to lay the responsibility of the dirt in the milk pail. It must come from the body of the cow or the milker. o Jackson's Napa Soda untangles the feet.

When the dairy doctors disagree about the amount of digestable protein needed to form a perfect milk ration, then the farmers must experiment and decide for themselves. The amount of protein which the chemist finds in a quart of milk may not be in the exact proportion required for the cow's perfect ration to produce the largest quantity of milk at the smallest coaBt of feed. The cow has constantly some needs of her own to sup- port her animal system and repair the wastes of her body as well as to provide milk which nature .intended for the calf. John Gould truly says: "The whole thing hinges, not on what the tables say, but on the feeder's judgment, so that the most milk can be obtained at the least cost." That is the whole truth in a nut- shell, and Bhould be framed under glasB and hung up in the cow stable. 1 Oats, because they are such a handy and healthy grain to feed horses, always command a higher price, relatively, than any other grain fed to stock. Mr. Gould is aware of this, but says, "I do not hesi- tate to make the (cow's) ration one-fourth oats, whatever the cost." The writer has fed cows on corn, rye, oats and buckwheat ground together in equal quantities by weight, and then fed the same cows an equal quantity of other ground grains with the oats left out, and no apprecia- ble difference in the milk yield was ap- parent. A dairyman in Orange county, New York, who kept over forty cows, told me he fed large quantities of brewer's grains; that they produced a large flow of milk; but he rather thought the milk thin, and did not contain much cream. However he was not sure of this, as he sold all his milk in New York, and bought his butter. Wheat bran alone is a poor cowfeed, and cows will refuse it after eating- a few messes. I have found wheat bran, and corn meal, mixed in equal quantities by weight, to be a good milk producer, whether it be a well balanced ration or not. Cornmeal is supposed to be too fattening for cows in milk, but the gen- erous giver, or deep milker, ought to have some fattening food to prevent her from losing flesh during the period of greatest flow. r Prof. E. W. Stewart contended all his life that there was no way by which so mucb of the value of grain could be obtained as by grinding it fine, and mix- ing it thoroughly with cut hay, stalkB of Btraw, moistened with water to make the meal stick. This way of feeding makes more labor, but the extra labor pays, and the best results in any kind of business cannot be obtained without painstaking and more labor. Better farming pays. The writer has tried his cattle with the cut feed many times, and iB convinced that Professor Stewart's contention is true. Two winters ago, owing to the scarcity of hay, our cows, young cattle and horses were kept almoBt entirely on cut straw and meal, with which they were so we'l satisfied that they would eat little hay when given to them. The cows never gave more milk on the same quantity of grainfed alone. There is nothing won- derful about this. Reason and experi- ment agree. When the particles of meal are stuck fast to the pieces of Btraw they form a mass that nearly fills the stomach, so that each particle of meal has a chance to come in contact with the absorbent vessels, and the greatest portion of the nutriment is appropriated. On the other hand, when, say, five quarts of meal are fed alone, it does not become to well dif- fused throughout the stomach, is apt to remain in a body, or several bodies, and much of it passes away without having its valuable properties' extracted and re- tained. It does not pay to feed cows all the grain they will eat without becoming clogged, any more than it pays a man to overload his stomach with rich food. When dairy products are dear and grain cheap, it will do to be liberal with the cows, but not to encourage gluttony. Of course, some cows will endure and re- spond to high feeding better than others, but I have found that four quartB of good meal, fed twice a day to each cow, is about as much as can be profitably fed. The question whether cows should have their rations increased to prevent shrink- age depends on the kind of feed they have been supplied with, and the size of the ration. If the ration has been meagre, then an increase would no doubt, increase the flow, or prevent shrinkage, and prob- ably be profitable. The ration that has been found to produce the most milk at the least cost should be the standard, just as bread and butter are the standard at the farmer's table ; but cows, like hu- man beings, are fond of an occasional change in their diet, and will welcome some side dishes, relishes and dessertsi and pay for the favor in something more tangible than gratitude. I have practiced winter dairying, and agree that the best time to have cows calve is in October or November. Dairy products are always the highest in winter. The cows must be kept well aiyhow, and if fresh, will pay for the extra grain feed required and leave a good profit besides. Furthermore, cows that calve in the fall will increase their milk when they come to grass, and their milk seaBon is consid- erably extended.— J. W. Ingham, in Tribune Farmer.

The annual report of the Bureau of Animal Industry, now going through the government print mill, contains a note on the bladder worm in sheep. Daring a recent trip to Montana by the acting zoologist of this Bureau, specimens of a bladder worm were obtained from the brains of a sheep which seemB to be identical with the gid bladder worm Coenurus cerebrelis, of Europe, and it produced similar symptoms. This bladder worm, the adult stage of which (Taenia coenurus) lives in the intestines of doge, is very common in the Old World, and is one of the niOBt dangerous and destructive parasiteB with which sheep may be affected. A few years ago it was said that 1,000,000 sheep die from it annually in France, and the losses in German}'' have been put at 15 per 1000 in the first year of life, 5 in the second year, 2 in the third year, and 1 in the fourth. In Eng- land, although the parasite seems to be less common than formerly, the mortality at times in some flocks is as high as 35 per cent. The on'y practical treatment lies in prevention, which consists prin- cipally in keeping dogs free from tape- worms by frequent dosings and by pre- venting them from eating the uncooked brain or spinal cord of infected Bheep. Until the present time no well established cases have been reported from the United States, which is rather remarkable in the face of numerous importations from Europe both of sheep and dogs, some of which must certainly have been infected. Although the conditions existing in this country are perhaps unfavorable to the parasite, so that it has been unable to gain a foothold, and although so far it may have caused little damage, its pres- ence here is, nevertheless, a constant menace; and there is danger that, if un- checked, it will in the future become as serious a pest in the United States as it is in Europe. It is therefore important that a careful investigation of this parasite be made in this country, and that thorough measures be taken to prevent its dis- semination. —Texas Farmer. No country and no product is exempt from its off-season. As a rule, a kind Providence smiles, opens His hand and supplies the want of every living thing, and such is the diversity of crop that everything is "off." If possible every farm should have a milk house in which the milk can be kept, the churning: done, the milk ves- sels kept, and plenty of water with which to cool the milk and wash the vessels. The tail is an indication of breed. A short, heavy tail at the top and tapering- to a small brush does not indicate a pure bred. But a long, heavy tail with a large brush indicates a good dairy type. Tho farmer is fortunate who has a wood lot. He can spend much of his time there, when little else can be done. It will pay to have leaf mould and spread it on the ground anywhere. o — Milk may be cooled by pouring from one vessel to another, by setting in cold water or placing on ice. The more rap- idly it is cooled the more cream rises. o A new remedy for the kicking, .cpw is suggested. Tie her foot from above so it will barely touch the floor.

Gardens bear larger crops in proportion than fields. The season is that the soil is carefully pulverized and the crop more thoroughly cultivated. Every field should be like a garden. o Stumps may be easily burned out by turning a sheet-iron easing over them, in such a shape that it will create a draft. Unless it splits too hard, consid- erable mav be taken off the sides with a maul and wedge. There is at least one good advantage in keeping cows, and that is if the milk cannot be turned into butter or cheese profitably, it can in nearly all cases be fed to pigs and calves with profit. o Dairy cows have the ability to make pretty good milk when drinking pretty bad water. They would drink more water and make more and better milk if they had better water to drink. Try it. Tell Team For Sale. A FINE TEAM OF YOUNG COLTS-STAL- -11 lions— by a good son of Director.

University, Cal AT A MEETING of the Board of Directors of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Associa- tion held in this city last week the question of District Fairs for the State of California was discussed, and as it was the unanimous opinion of the Board that properly conducted fairs are of great value to the State, it was decided to appoint a committee to go to Sacramento and consult with the Governor in regard to the restoration of the appropriations formerly made to aid these institutions. The committee con- sisted of President E. P. Heald and Directors Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick, I. L. Borden, Frank H. B'irke and Geo. W. Kingsbury, and Wednesday of this week was appointed as the day for the trip. Owing to illness Messrs. Burke and Kirgsbury were prevented from accompanying the committee, but Messrs. Heald, Kirkpatrick and Borden went to Sacramento on the day selected, where they were met by Senator Ben F* Rush, of Solano county, who had kindly made an ap- pointment with Govei-nor Pardee for a conference. The Governor expressed himself to the committee as strongly favoring district fairs, believing them to he valuable as educators. He thought, however, that the present number of 46 districts could be reduced materially with benefit to all. The main question with the Governor, however, was a financial one. He favored appropriating money for the fairs if the State Treasury contained sufficient coin, after more neces- sary things were provided for. President Heald states that the Governor gave the committee a very pleasant and cordial reception, as well as much of his valuable time and displayed no antagonism wba ever to properly conducted district fairs. This is encour- aging and it now remains for the breeders, farmers and fruit growers of the State who favor these fairs to unite on some plan that will meet with the endorse- ment of the Legislature and the Governor and see that it is passed at this session. The P. C. T. H. B. A. has shown commendable enterprise by sending its com- mittee to Sacra_nento and is ready to aid in every honorable way, any measure that will re-establish the district fairs which were once so popular in California and which have done so much for the breeding and agricultural interests of the State. Its directors are ready to give their time without pay to the furtherance of any plan which the district boards or the breeders and farmers of the State think just and practicable, by which annual ex- positions of the State's products can be again resumed. It has been suggested that the districts remain as at present constituted and that one-half of them give fairs on alternate years. This would re quire only one-half the former appropriation. An- other suggestion is that the State be re-districted and the number of districts reduced to eight or ten. It is said that the State of Ohio has a law by which the district fairs receive direct State aid, the amounts being provided for in the State levy of taxes, and that the law is popular with the people. It may be that such a law would meet the approval of the Legisla- ture and the Governor. There are many suggestions that can be offered, but the main thing now is to organize a body that will take energetic action on tbe best measure and work for its adoption. There should be a gathering of those most interested in district fairs, comprising cattle, sheep, swine and and horse breeders, farmers and fruit growers, manu- facturers and miners, and all others who know that annual exhibits of their products are profitable to them and to the entire State, and when a measure is agreed upon it will not be such a difficult matter to secure its adoption. Occident Stake Entries and Payments. We are pleased to print the following list of entries to the Occident Stake of 1907 and second and third payments respectively on foals entered in the stakes of 1906 and 1905, as they show that Pacific CoaBt breeders are still taking much interest in this stake which is the greatest annual event on this Coast for three-year old trotters. As will be seen by reference to the lists printed here- with, there have been 66 entries to the stake of 1907, which is for foals of last year, 56 second payments in the stake to be trotted in 1906, and 38 third payments on the colts and fillies entered in the stake to be trot- ted this year: ORIGINAL ENTRIES TO OCCIDENT STAKE OF 1907.

Clark of this city had the misfortune to lose his fine bay stallion Ouiboul 2:22J January 19th, the horse falling and breaking his neck in his stall. Ouiboul was by the great and handsome stallion Stamboul, and was con- sidered a most promising sire, as bis colts were fine lookers. His death is a severe loss to Mr. Clark who will have the sympathy of horsemen and breeders in general. Great interest is manifested by the Sacramento people as well as others throughout the State in re- gard to the sale of the old and the building of a new agricultural park and race track here, and we are all hoping the bill will pass providing for the new build- ings and that work will be started soon. A few of the horsemen are still holding fort at the historic old grounds, notwithstanding the fact that the buildings are being torn do no, and while there is a scene of desolation due to the removal of buildings and the piling up of debris, it makes one's blood tingle to recall the races where jockeys and drivers and horses were straining every nerve to reach the wire first. It is pleasant at times to think of by gone days, the soul stirring finishes and to hear again the shouts of the multitude as its favorite dashes to tbe wire and snatcheB the crown of victory from tbe jaws of defeat. Among those who are still occupying stalls here at presentare Walter Mastin with Falrose'2:19, Marvin Wilkes (3) 2:18, Penrose and others. S. U. Mitchell has Peter J. and others, Chris. Jorgenson has quite a string, A. Mastin is looking after theinterests of John A. 2:123, Sir Carlton and a few more, Vet Tryon has quite a number and Mr. Steward several. Mrs. E. W. Callendine has recently sold her promis- ing filly by Nutwood Wilkes to J. C. Montgomery of Davisville, Cal. NORINr Sacramento, Jan. 25, 1905. (Kite givee&ev axtb giparismcm [January 2S, 1906 Lou Milton's Dam Again Identified. Fly, the Ralston mare that was bred to Milton Medium and produced Lou Milton, dam of Lou Dillon, has again been identified and has a new pedigree. This time the story comes through the Horse Review, of Chicago, which devotes a page to it. Our friend Jacob Brolliar, of Hanford, owner of My "Way 2:20, the gray filly that was a good second to Priskarina 2:13| in the Breeders Futurity pacing stake for three- year-olds last year, has furnished the information to the Review that may lead to Fly's breeding being established. The letter which appeared in the Review of January 17th is as follows: Visalia, Cal., Jan. 8, 1905. Editor Horse Review. Chicago, 111: The return of the trotting queen, Lou Dillon, to her native heath reminds me of my pencil notes made last summer while out doing the California races. It seems strange that after all the research of the great- est writers and pedigree experts of America should be in vain to establish the breeding of the trotting queen, that I should accidentally hit upon a chain of evi- dence that can establish in full and beyond a reason- able doubt the breeding of the dam of Lou Milton, dam of Lou Dillon. Some time during my stay at San Jose, Mr. Martin Carter, owner of Nutwood Wilkes Stock Farm, in- troduced me to the veteran, Frank Taylor, of Ala- meda avenue, San Jose. Mr. Taylor invited me to his home to see a colt, I having told him that I was on the lookout for something for a sire. After an in- spection of his stock, we repaired to his hospitable home, and while there I incidentally picked up a Murphy stock catalogue and noticed Lou Milton's name in a tabulated pedigree and remarked that it was a pity her dam's breeding was unknown. To my surprise Mr. Taylor answered that "it is known." But before going farther with this history, (for such it is), I propound this question for the benefit of the reader: Who is Mr. Taylor, and by what authority does he speak? Mr. Taylor and the late Orrin Hickok were both race riders and intimate friend sin boyhood, Eickok being in the employ of Mr. William Maxwell, an owner of runners. Later Mr. Hickok came to Cali- fornia and induced Mr. Maxwell to come to the Coast to engage in the livery business with him. With this object in view Mr. Maxwell brought Fly — dam of Lou Milton— and Gypsy with him; but, being dissatisfied with the prospect for a livery business, he sold Fly and Gypsy to Mr. Ralston and returned to his old home in Wisconsin. Mr. Taylor was acquainted with Mr. Maxwell, also knew Fly and Gypsy. He saw and talked with Mr. Maxwell after his disposal of them tc Mr. Ralston, and after his return to Wisconsin. Mr. Taylor says that it is well known that Flying Cloud, sire of the once sensational Badger Girl, sired both Fly and Gypsy. If I remember correctly, Powell Bros., of Beaver Dam, Wis., owned Badger Girl. She and the mares Fly and GypBy were all sired by Flying Cloud, a trotting-bred horse brought from Ohio to Dodge county, Wisconsin. Only a few weeks ago I returned to San Jose, and again meeting Mr. Taylor, I told him I waB on my way to the Green Meadows Stock Farm at Santa Clara to get Hambletoniac Wilkes, I having bought him. Mr. Taylor insisted upon driving me over in his buggy, a distance of about three miles. During the trip, this same question came up again when he told me once more of an old horseman still living at Beaver Dam who knew the breeding in full of Fly, and was to give me his name, but in my hurry to get Wilkes ready for shipment, I forgot to get his address. Mr. Tay- lor is but nine years a resident of California; his home prior to coming here, being in IndianapoliB, Ind. He has taking no notice of the controversies going the rounds of the horse papers a year ago, being devoted almost entirely to other business interests, but he promised me that he would give me or any one who desired it, information sufficient to establish Fly's breedingin full. I am fully satisfied that Flying Cloud is the Bire of the dam of Lou Milton. Anyone desiring further information can obtain it by addreBsing Mr. Frank Taylor, Alameda Ave., San Jose, Cal. Jacob Brolliar. There is one thing about Mr. Taylor's story which makes it bettbr than any of the other numerous attempts to identify her — it is an actual identification. He says her name was Fly when she was brought here, states who brought her to California, where she came from and her sire. The Horse Review is in cor- respondence with Mr. Taylor and will no doubt get much more information about the matter that will at least be interesting reading, and we hope it will be able to unearth facts that will be complete and be- yonii question in regard to the matter. If it does, Mr. Brolliar and the Chicago paper will be entitled to much credit. The fact is that Mr. A. McFadyen, who owned Lou Milton and bred Redwood 2:2H, Ethel Mack 2:25 and others from her, made an effort twenty years ago to ascertain her pedigree but was unable to trace it as all the parties here who knew anything of it were dead. Mr. Taylor was not a resident of California at that time and it may be that he is the very man who can furnish the facts that will lead to the establish- ment of Lou Milton's pedigree. We hope so, at least. Fastest Horse of McKinney. As all our readers know Budd Doble's great race trotter, Kinney Lou 2:07| is the fastest entire son of McKinney, a distinction that has been and will be taken into consideration by California breeders who are looking for sons of that horse to send their mares to this year. Kinney Lou's reputation as a race horse was thoroughly established when he went down the Grand Circuit of 1903, a sick horse, and finished a winner of $11,450. As a sire, his reputation has yet to be made, but the reports from Tehama county where he made one season and part of another are such that it is safe to predict that he will have rep- resentatives in the list this year, as the ihree-year-olds by him are showing natural speed of a high order and are described as grand looking youngsters and all trotters. Kinney Lou's seasons in Tehama county were very limited but he got nearly every mare with foal and some four or five of the three-year-olds are now being trained on the Red Bluff track. Ihe first year after Mr. Doble purchased him, Kinney Lou was taken Ea,6t and raced. Last year he was in the stud at San Jose and served 41 mares and in nearly every instance the mares are safely in foal. This year the horse will again be in the 6tud to July 1st, and after that, Mr. Doble may take him East again as Kinney Lou is able to win in hiB class and reduce his record. He is from race-winning and producing families on both sides. Hfs sire is beyond all question the great- est of trotting sires, as no other stallion that ever lived has accomplished what he has in the stud. He has not only sired the champion race trotting mare of the world, but is also the sire of the champion five- mile trotter, the champion green trouting stallion, and of eleven 2:10 performers at seventeen years of age, a record unapproachable by any other horse. He is the greatest son of Alcyone, that was for his oppor- tunities, the greatest son of Geo. Wilkes as well as the greatest son of that greatest of all brood mares, Alma Mater. On his dam's side Kinney Lou comes from a distinguished family and carries a double cross of the Morgan blood that is coming to the front in such great trotters as Tiverton, 2:04J; Sweet Marie, 2:04| and others. Kinney Lou's dam was that old time favorite on California's tracks, Mary Lou, 2:17, whose gameness and speed won many hard races and who was never beaten until the wire was reached as she fought for the lead every inch of the way, and tried again as often as asked. Mary Lou was by Tom Benton and her dam Brown Jenny, was the dam also of Shylock 2:15} and Ned Winslow, pacer, 2:12|. Both these brothers to Mary Lou were race horseB like her. Game as a pebble and with wonderful powers of endurance, they won some of the hardest fought races trotted and paced on this coast in their day. Brown Jenny was by David Hill, Jr., a producing son of the producing sire David Hill 857, that was by Black Lion, a son of Black Hawk 5, he by Sherman Morgan and he by the original Justin Morgan. The third dam of Kinney Lou was by McCraoken's Black Hawk 767, a son of Black Hawk 5. It will be noticed that there are two crosses to Black Hawk 5, in Kinney Lou's dam, and as this Morgan blood is becoming more highly prized every year, the opportunity to get it through a son of the great McKinney, and that son the fastest of his trotting sons, is one that should not be allowed to pass. Kinney Lou will make the season of 1905 at San Jose on the same terms as last year and those interested Bhould send to Budd Doble for a card containing the horse's tabulated pedigree and picture, together with much valuable information in regard to him. • In Twenty Years. It was not until the year 1884 that a 2:10 light- harness performer appeared, and in that year there were three horses that entered the list, and then there was a break and no more 2:10 performers ap- peared un.il 1890, in which year there appeared three more, but since the latter year, they have been com- ing pretty strong in numbers as figures show. The additions to the 2:10 list for the years named are as follows: 1891, sixteen; 1892, twenty; 1893, twenty-five; 1894, thirty-three; 1895, sixty-two; 1896, forty-eight; 1897, sixty-six; 1898, sixty-one; 1899, seventy; 1900, seventj-nine: 1901, sixty; 1902, ninety-seven; 1903, ninety-six; 1904, one hundred and four. Up to date, the total number of 2:10 performers iB eight hundred and forty-three, and of this number two hundred and twenty-two are trotters and six hundred and twenty- one are pacers. — Spirit of the West. Diablo in the Stud at Woodland. The breeders of California are fortunate that the great race horse and sire Diablo 2:09}, sire of twelve 2:15 performers, will make the season of 1905 in this State, returning after an absence of two seasons in Oregon. He will be located at Woodland, where for two years he was the most popular stallion in the Sacramento Valley, and where there are now a large number of very promising two and three-year-olds by him in training. Our readers will remember that William Murray, who owned Diablo, took the great- est son of Charles Derby to Oregon two years ago, and that Mr. Murray contracted pneumonia and died. Since that time Diablo has been in charge of Mr. C. D. Crookham, a brother-in-law cf Mr. Murray, who has returned the stallion to Yolo county where he will make the season of 1905. Diablo gained a distinction last year which few stallions, if any, ever before achieved. In one day, on the same track, two of his get entered the 2:10 list. This happened at the Breeders meeting at Santa Rosa, when Tom Carneal and Daedalion both won their races and took records of 2:08} and 2:10 respec- tively. Diablo is the sire of the following members of the 2:15 list, viz.: Sir Albert S. 2:03|, Clipper 2:06, Diablito 2:08}, Tom Carneal 2:08}, Daedalion 2:10, Diodine 2:10}, Diawood 2:11, El Diablo 2:11}, Tago 2:11}, Hijo el Diablo 2:11}, Rey del Diablo 2:14}, and Inferno 2:15. This is an array of fast ones that stamp him as one of the leading sires of speed in California. The wise breeder always looks for a stallion bred in producing lines, and Diablo is one of this sort par excellence. His sire Charles Derby is the Bire of four 2:10 performers, his grandsire Steinway has five in the 2:10 list and his great grand sire Strathmore has founded one of the greatest of the families founded by sons of Hambletonian 10, as it was from the Strath- more line that Lou Dillon, the first 2:00 trotter came. Bertha, the dam of Diablo, is the greatest living broodmare in California, and has already produced three in the 2:10 list, and five in the 2:15 list. She is by Alcantara, an own brother to Alcoyne, the sire of the great McKinney. With the splendid race horse qualities and magnifi- cent individuality which Diablo possesses, he is with- out queBtion one of California's greatest stallions, and at the low fee of $40, which has been placed on his services, he will doubtless receive a large patronage Excellent pasturage can be had at Woodland at a low rate and Mr. Crookham will be pleased to send tabu- lated pedigree and full particulars as to terms on application by mail to him at that address. See advertisement in this issue. Blood of Three Great Sires. You Take No Chances A three-year-old stallion of magnificent proportions is Mac Direct, owned by Capt. C. H. Williams of Palo Alto, and in the veins of the colt courses the blood of the three great sires — Nutwood 2:18|, Director 2:17 and McKinney 2:11}. Mac Direct's sire is McKinney, his dam was sired by Director and his grandam by Nutwood. McKinney is beyond all question the lead- ing standardbred sire in the world today, and his greatness was achived by his own performances as a racehorse and the performances of his get on the race track. He has 11 in the 2:10 list and 34 'n the 2:15 list, although he is only 17 years old, and the records of all these performers were made in actual races. Di- rector was one of the greatest racehorses that ever went down the Grand Circuit, and has founded a fam- ily of great racehorses and sires of racehorses. Nut- wood was a racehorse himself and defeated many of the best stallions of his day. In the stud he proved to be the greatest sire of broodmares that ever lived, his daughters having produced no less than forty-five trotters and pacers with records of 2:15 or better, and considerable more than two hundred 2:30 performers. Capt. Williams bred and raised Mac Direct, but the colt has been such a growthy fellow that he declined to have him trained for a record until he is older; but bad him worked sufficiently to show to his trainer, John Phippen, that be is one of the best prospects in California today. Capt. Williams has been importuned by several breeders to permit Mac Direct to serve a few mares, bo concluded to place him in the stud -and limit him to ten of approved breeding. He has already six mares booked, so those who wish to avail themselves of the services of such a magnificently bred son of McKinney will have to apply early. The fee will be $40 and the season will close July 1st. Tho . P. Adkins, of Rochester, N. Y., owner of Lisorrero 2:08}, has purchased a green pacer named Patehen, that has shown a trial in 2:07. She J. M. Herbert, Frank A. Hall and H. R. Gu heimer. Matinee racing will be resumed at Ci as early in the spring as the weather will perm: d 3R2S3 <2Z2X2VS OSWH Notes and News. S Secretary Bentley thinks of offering a $10,000 trot- ting purse for Buffalo. ■■ Detroit will open the Grand Circuit with a two weeks' meeting beginning July 24th. E. E. Smathers has made the first entry in the M. and M. (informal), the gray mare Lady Babble by Ansel Chief. A French tire, made of silk and lubber, ha6 recently baen introduced into this country, and is said to excel the old-fashioned kind. A bill appropriating 870,000 toward paying the ex- pense of theCalifornia exhibit at the Lewis & Clark Exposition at Portland, passed the California Senate last Monday. Trainer John Howell will train and drive Tiverton 2:04Hn his races this year. Howell worked Tiverton early last season, but broke his leg shortly after the racing season opened. Next Wednesday, February 1st, is the last date for second payment in Breeders Futurity No. 5. Don't miss it. The stake is guaranteed to be worth $7000 and will be worth much more. Zombro will be in the stud at Los Angeles this year at $50 the season. We don't know where any breeder can get more for his money than by securing a foal by the great Zombro 2:11 at that figure. The Eastern papers are all saying that the San Francisco daily press reporter who started the story that Scott Hudson had sold Nervoio 2:04J to W. E. Lockwood for $16,000, should have a medal. Strathway, the sire of Toggles 2:081, John Caldwell 2:11 J and many other good ones, will be in. the stud at Pleasanton this year at $50 the season. A more ex- tended notice of this good sire will appear next week. Chris Widemann, of Gonzales, will send his pacing prospect, Joe Robin, and a full brother, also a pacer, and a three-year-old trotter by Robin, to Pleasanton the 1st of February in charge of his trainer, Cavel Rodriguez. A. Kaul & Son, of St. Mary's, Pa., will ship their pacer, Funston 2:08J by Dictatus, to New York in a week or so. He campaigned through last season's Grand Circuit, winning four races, being out of the money but once. John Lance, one of the prominent trainers and drivers of Washington, is down on a visit to California stock farms and training tracks. Mr. Lance raced the pacers Helennes 2:14J and Sam Bowers 2:11 on the Norlh Pacific Circuit last year. The next volume of the Year Book will not be out until perhaps the middle of March, according to latest information. It may get from the printers somewhat sooner, but not likely. It will be to all intents and purposes the same as the volume issued ]a?tyear. Wildbrino 2:19J is now the ltading speed sire of Canada. He now has 33 standard performers to his credit, his fastest pacer being Capt. Brino 2:07J, and his best trotter, Dorothea S. 2 : 1 2 J . Wildbrino was foaled in 1885, sired by Hambrino, dam Molly by Wildwood. The Utah Racing Association will give a program of races on Decoration Day, May 30th. $600 is offered for a free-for-all trot or pace and $400 for a 2:20 class trot or pace. Two purses of $100 each are offered for running races at one mile and a half mile. W. S. Jones is the manager. A twenty-mile match race was recently pulled off between two trotters which traveled the highway between Sheridan and Big Horn, Wyoming, a dis- tance of ten miles and return. The back trip was made by the winning horse In 371 minutes which is going some in a twenty-mile road race. ©toe gveeluev tmfc gpovtatntaxi Unless a compromise program is agreed upon, there is going to be some trouble in finding engagements for such pacers as Nervoio, Locanda and John M. The last named is eligible to the 2:03 class, Locanda to the 2:04 class, and Nervoio to the 2:05 class. There are a half dozen other pacers with marks around 2:05, all made last season, and from the lot a fine field could be secured. Geo. W. Hughes, formerly of California, who has been living for several years past in Oregon, has re- turned to this State and is located at Eureka, Hum- boldt county where he may handle a few trotters and pacers. He writes us that a green pacer a full brother to Bolivar and a fine looker, sold at Eureka last week for $350. This horse is hardly broken but can show close to a 2:15 gait. Col. Walter T. Chester, who compiled years ago "Chester's Complete Guide," and was for twenty or more years identified with the Turf, Field and Farm as an editorial writer, is at Allen Farm, Pittsfield, Mass., the home of Kremlin 2:071. where he will be engaged for some time in statistical work. A car load of select broodmares are being got to- gether in Spokane and will be shipped to Los Angeles to breed to Zombro. When a young stallion can draw trade a distance of 2000 miles, it is good evidence of the high valuation that is placed on his get. The young Zombros are well thought of in Spokane. — Portland Rural Spirit.

Brown, of Oakland, who has trained and raced several good ones on the California circuit, owns a daughter of Sidney Dillon that is attracting much attention from those who have seen her at work. She is a chestnut, .bred by the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, and is out of a mare by Piedmont, second dam by Gen. Benton. She has already shown a mile in 2:1S and for conformation is hard to beat. In the Village Farm dispersal sale, which will be held by the Fasig-Tipton Company at Madison Square Garden. New York, beginning January 30th, there will be no less than thirty-one animals offered that are dascendants in the maternal line from famous old Jessie Pepper by Mambrino Chief II. Jessie Pepper produced nine female foals, and seven of these are in the Great Brood Mare Table. Two of her sons are producing sires, and she herself is the dam of two standard performers. F. W. Perkins, of Oakland, who owns the handsome and grandly bred stallion Atbamax 36927, has been laid up with rheumatism all winter, and has not yet decided where he will locate his horse this year, although he has received many letters from persons who desire to breed to Atbamax, and has had several chances to leasB him. A yearling colt by Atbamax, out of a Steinway mare was sold recently for $300 and ie has some very fine looking colts, coming two years old, that are the oldest of his get. W. T. Harris, the well known real estate dealer of Oakland has a find in a big gelding by Bay Bird out of a mire by Algona that is one of the fastest big horses in California. He is 17 hands high and weighs 1350 pounds, and though seven years old never had a halter on until last year. He was sold by the Haggin ranch and tried out in a bakery wagon before Mr. Harris bought him, but with two months' work at the Pleasanton track trotted a mile in 2:25 very handily. For a horse of his size he is a grand looker and will shade 2:20 before long. The report comes from San Jose that Messrs. F. S, Granger of Santa Cruz, and the well known horse- man T. W. Barstow of San Jose have secured a ten years' lease of the Agricultural Park and Race Track at the latter place and will make many improvements thereon. While the report states that the lease has not yet been signed, the probability is that it will be before this item is printed. Mr. Granger is an ener- getic promoter who has built railroads and baen identified with many big enterprises in Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties, and Mr. Barstow is one of the leading breeders and horsemen of California. He owns the stallion Nearest 2:22, an own brother to John A. McKerron 2:041, and has raced several of Nearest's get, including Alone 2:0£^. We believe it is the intention of Messrs. Granger and Barstow to build a large number of new stalls, repair all the buildings and make the San Jose track the leading training and trotting track in California. Success to them. Lady Mowry 2:28 by McKinney. On the front pages of this issue is presented the picture of a daughter of McKinney, owned by Mr. J. C. Mowry of Mowry Station, Alameda county. Lady Mowry, as this filly is called by her owner, represents a cross that has been remarkably and uniformly successful — the McKinney-Nutwood Wilkes cross. Martin Carter, owner of Nutwood Wilkes, is a breeder who is always looking for the best stallions to mate hi6 mares with, and picked out McKinney 2:11 J to breed to his very fast mare Georgie B. 2:12J by Nut- wood Wilkes. The result was the pacing mare Miss Georgie 2:11 J that William Cecil, Mr. Carter's trainer, has always considered the equal of any California bred pacer that has crossed the mountains to race on the big tracks. Miss Georgie had considerable bad luck last year, was sick and threw out a curb, but at that she took a fast record and showed that she is a 2:05 performer with reasonable luck. To prove that the cross works well both ways it is only necessary to call attention to Tidal Wave 2:13^ by Nutwood Wilkes out of a McKinney mare. This horse was campaigned throughout the Pacific Coast last year by Mr. I. C. Mosher, and for handsome proportions and gamenes9 was not outclassed in any company, while it is well known that his mark is not the full measure of his speed by many seconds. The McKinney-Nutwood Wilkes cross is a success and Lady Mowry will undoubtedly add much to its fame whenever she is raced. Her dam Electress Wilkes2:28 isby Nutwood Wilke9, and her second dam Electress 2:27J is by Richard's Elector, so she repre- sents the already famous Wilkes-Electioneer cross as well. Lady Mowry has been in William Cecil's hands [January 28, I9C5 during the past season in her three-jear-oid form. At the Breeders meeting in San Jose last year she was given a time record of 2:28 simply to give her a standard record, and shortly afterwards worked a mile over the 6ame track in 2:18 and a quarter in 311 seconds. Cecil has given her but very little mile work, quarters and halves being the extent of her usual speeding. She is not only a handsome mare in appearance, but is a finely gaited and level-headed trotter, and is considered by all horsemen who have seen her to be one of the best prospects in California at the present time. Bein ,r by McKinney 2:11}, sire of the great race mare Sweet Marie 2:04| and out of a mare by Nutwood Wilkes 2:161, sire of the great trotting stallion John A. McKerron 2:041, she is closely related to "the best families" beyond any doubt. When William Cecil was asked one day why he liked Lady Mowry so well, he answered: "I worked Tidal Wave by Nutwood WilkeB, dam by McKinney, sixty days early in his three-year-old form, and he stepped a quarter for me in 301 seconds and a half in 1:04, and I thought he was a two-minute pacer and think so yet. I then worked Miss Georgie, by McKinney out of a mare by Nutwood Wilkes, a mile in 2:09 and after »he had gone three races she had all the pacers in California at her mercy. I think she was the best green pacer that ever left California and believe 2:05 will not stop her. With my experience with these two to reckon from, when I find so much speed and class in a mare of that breeding as I find in Lady Mowry, I am ready to take my chances with her down through the Grand Circuit, and am certain if I do I will get my share of the money." Answers to Correspondents. S. W. Lillakd, Davisville, Cal.— The brown stal- lion St. Clair 656 was bred in California by Geo. Ingles of Sacramento. He was first known under the name of Fred Low, and was foaled in 1864. He passed to John E. Miller of Sacramento, and became the sire of Clay 2:25£ and Adalia 2:27. His daughters pro- duced Costello 2:24J and Sam Lewis 2:25, both pacerB, and Richard's Elector 2:25 and Fay 2:25, both trot- ters. Richard'B Elector is the sire of 16 in the list, all trotters but two. St. Clair 656 was by the old pacing horse St. Clair 16675 and out of a fine looking mare called Lady Ross, whose breeding is unknown. St. Clair 16675 was brought across the plains in 1849 and died in Sacramento in 1864. His breeding is entirely unknown. * Western Racing Circuit. At a meeting of the prominent track owners in the Rocky Mountain region held at Denver last week the Western Racing Association, a new body controlling seven tracks in Denver, Salt Lake, Pueblo. Trinidad, Fort Collins, Albuquerque and Las Vegas, was organ- ized. Dates for the coming season were awarded the respective tracks. The racing which will include both light harness and running events, will extend through from May 22d to July 19th. Pour new tiacks — at Salt Lake, Fort Collins, Albu. querque and Las Vegas — have been added to the cir- cuit, and the Colorado Springs track has dropped from the association. Themembersof the new circuit will arrange their Btake and purse events for similar classes in order that horses entered at any one meeting will be eligible to race throughout the circuit. The 2:14 pace and the 2:24 trot will be on the card of each meeting, except that in Denver the trot may be lowered to 2:13 or 2:12 to meet the conditions peculiar to the fasteBt track in the circuit. As the events at Overland will be graded only a few seconds apart, no hardship will be worked upon horsemen. Both the 2:20 pace and 2:20 trot will be on the Overland card. Albuquerque will offer $5000 in stakes and purses for light harness events; Las Vegas will put up $2000. At the other tracks the stakes will be $1000 and the purses $500. In addition to the big spring meeting, Fort Collins, Pueblo and Loveland will have fall fair meetings. The representatives of the tracks at the meeting were J. H. Hammer of Salt Lake, Messrs. Rhoades and Gray of Fort Collins, Messrs. Humphreys, Colton, Lewis and Stratton of Trinidad, MesBrs. Turner and Wilson of Pueblo, Mr. McNeil of Loveland, Messrs. Wahlgreen andColbrrnof Denver. Las Ve^as was represented by proxy. At the conclusion of the meeting Secretary Wahl- green left for an Eastern trip of several weeks' dura- tion, during which he will secure horses for the new circuit. The dates decided on were as follows: Fort Collins— May 22, 23 and 24. Albuquerque— May 29, 30, 31 and June 1. Las Vegas — June 5, 6 and 7. Trinidad— June 12, 13, 14 and 15. Denver — June 17 to July 4, inclusive, fifteen days. Pueblo— July 7, 8, 10 and 11. Salt Lake City— July 16, 17, 18 and 19. January 28, 1905 1 ©*te gtveebev emfc gptrrtsmcm % THOROUGHBREDS. From Chicago comes news that the Worth Jockey Club will throw its support to the Corrigan side and against the Western Jockey Club in the fight for Middle Western turf supremacy. ThiB will make a total membership of at least a dozen in the new governing turf body whose birth is expected this week. Walter Parmer will come in with his tracks at Detroit and Port Erie and a lively time is sure to follow in the country west of the Alleghanies to the Rockies and from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Prom a good source it is learned that if racing is al- lowed to go on around Chicago under a new law gov- erning such matters, Washington Park will also float the Corrigaa banner. If no law is passed the big Illinois clu'u will keep its track closed. Never have things looked so dark in a racing way in both Illinois and Missouri. In the latter State the repeal of the breeders' law has already been asked for in the Legis- lature and with the support of Gov. Polk and bis friends of the administration the present law will probably be stricken from the statute-books. This is as it should be, for as matters stood last year it was a regular comic opera law. The State Auditor issued to bookmakers direct (at $5 each per day) licenses to carry on their business and he had it in his power (ac- cording to the elastic nature of the law under which he was operating) to give or withhold to friends or enemies the right to operate race tracks an additional ninety days. Late last July, Auditor Allen suddenly switched to the Cella side in the St. Louis racing battle, at the very last moment, and that switch is presumed to have cost a pretty penny. Of course it is right and proper that the power spoken of (to allow race tracks to run or not to run) should be taken out of the hands of "grafters, "but pool-rooms will doubt- less spring up all over St. Louis if the breeders' law b3 stricken from the list. Capt. P. J.Carmodyhas again secured the reins of the Union track, purchas- ing the lea*se, etc., late last week for $70,000 and as he will go at once into the Corrigan fold and has the confidence and best wishes of the Missouri people, can win out, and doubtless will. He started right last season and there's a good deal in a good send off. In Illinois the latest proposed racing law spoken of last week has not made much headway and if some meas- ures giving relief is not passed at the present session, race-track owners will not care to take the chances of running and being arrested every time any gambling is allowed on the grounds. That racing is nothing without the speculative side was demonstrated con- clusively at Washington Park last summer, when the richest of all American racing and social clubs shut down after going but a couple of days without wagering. Thomas Clay McDowell, a grandson of the Great Commoner of Kentucky, will probably be •lejted President of the American Jockey Club which is the proposed name for the organization which Mr. Corrigan is forming. Mr. McDowell is a big breeder in Kentucky and raced Alan-a- Dale, White Wings and other celebrities in re- cent years. Harry Kuhl will probably be selected Secretary. He was the first Secretary of the Western Jockey Club, too. Racing will be begun at the new Panama track, New Orleans, on the 11th of February. Several hundreds of horses are already on the grounds including the strings of Wade McLemore, Daniels Bros., U. Z. DsArman and other big owners that raced at Union Track, St. Louis, last season. That the Corrigan side has the largest following cannot be gainsaid, but the racing clouds hovering over Illinois and Missouri look exceedingly dark at this writing and the proverbial silver lining cannot be discerned. The racing at Emeryville since I last wrote haB been decidedly flip-floppy from the form-studont's angle. On the 20th Captain Forsee (which had been unplactd for Bullman) won a fine race for Bell, while Saturday Acnelita and Elliott, two favorites ridden previously by the once noted rider, came out and won in most impressive fashion, causing a whole lot of conversa- tion anent Bullman's saddle work. Monday there were some painful upsets, the chief being those of The Reprobate (beaten by Edrodun) and Pelham (defeated by Salable). However, the latter is a much improved youngster and liable to beat anybody's good colt from this time forth. Tuesday, in the race Educate won, Hipponax (which had won pulled up in his previous race) failed to finish better than fifth, and in the very next race Del Carina wound up fourth in a race where- in she was a favorite at 11 to 20. Of course, surprises will occur on slippery tracks, but it has been in this shape so long that a good line ought to have been secured on the mud-runners. ning hereabouts. Last Tuesday he defeated a fine field at seven furlongs, it including San Nicholas, Ish- lana and Venator. Gateway is by the big Darebin horse, Del Paso, and the only other Del Paso out that I remember was Del Carina. All of which indicates that Del Paso is likely to make quite a sire of racers, especially those with a love of a soft, slippery or dry- ing-out course— in short, any kind of mud. Among the recent arrivals from Los Angeles are strings of racers belonging to James Blute and James Curl, both of which made theirfirst appearance of the season last Wednesday. Mr. Blute Bent Sais, Cincin- nati and Tramotor, while Mr. Curl sent along Fran- gible and Erne, mud-eaters that do not have much of a chance to shine at Los Angeles. Gwynn R, Tompkins, prominent as a trainer of jumpers around New York, is a late addition to the ranks of visitors hereabouts, while W.B. Sink Jr. arrived early in the weei from France and greeted his friends on all sides. He speaks highly of the French turfmen and horses, and will return in less than two weeks' time. A recent purchase by Mr. Sink is a jumper, with which he expects to win the Grand Steeplechase. Ralph H. Tozer. Improvements at Napa Stock Farm. A. B. Spreckels will make some extensive improve- ments in the near future at his big stock farm south of Napa. The dwelling there, which is occupied by Superintendent and Mrs. George Berry and which has stood for so many years that its usefulness and comfort have been greatly impaired, will be torn down and a handsome and substantial structure will be erected in its place. Mr Spreckels' architect was up from San Francisco the other day with the plans of the proposed building, making an investigation of the Bite. The new dwelling will be modern and up-to-date in every particular, and will contain fifteen rooms. Work upon it will be begun very soon. Mr. Spreckels will also replace the stables near the house with new and more commodious ones. The old structure will be moved back and will be used as a wing of the new one. Id order to make the trip from San Francisco to his farm quickly and without regard to train time schedules Mr. Spreckels is having constructed in San Francisco a launch with an engine of forty-horse power. This will be installed at the Spreckels' wharf balow Napa, and will churn its way to the metropolis for Mr. Spreckels whenever he desires to come to Napa on business or for an outing, or both. — Napa Register. New World's Record for Five Furlongs. A world's record made at the old Bay District track has been wiped out. In 1895 George F, Smith, with 100 pounds in the saddle, ran five furlongs on a circular course in 0:59. This record has stood for ten years, but last month, at Auckland, New Zealand, a four- year-old bay horse, Machine Gun, eclipsed all previous records by running the distance in the phenomenally fast time of 0:58, which was a second faster than the previous world's record. The feature of the wonderful performance is that Machine Gun carried the extraordinary impost of 159 pounds. It was in the Randolph handicap that Machine Gun broke the world's record. The same horse also won the Electric Plate. Machine Gun is a son of Hot^hkiss, of the famous Musket family. He was bred by George G. Stead, the J. B. Haggin of the New Zealand turf. The Musket family contains many stars of the turf, including Car- bine, who won the Melbourne cup with 145 pounds in the saddle. The best Musket representative ever brought to America was Maxim. — Chronicle. Gateway is one of the most improved horses run- Should Be a Pony Sire. Mr. J. R. Wilson, owner of that grand little stallion Royal Flush, has acceded to the demands of many breeders who wish to send mares to his horse with the idea of raising polo ponies, and will ship him to some point near San Francisco within a few days — due announcement of the location selected to be announced through the columns of this journal. Royal Flush is less than fifteen hands high, but is a powerfully built horse and a sire of winners. Mated with small polo mares of the right conformation he should produce ponies that will make the bery best of polo and racing ponies. Pony Races Postponed. Secretary Robert Leighton writes us that in conse- quence of the inclement weather and con equent dan- gerous condition of the track for racing purposes, the raceB of the California Polo and PoDy Racing Association, scheduled for Saturday next at San Mateo, have been postponed for one week and will be held on Saturday, Feb. 4th, weather permitting. The officials of this association have been granted the' use of Ingleside track for February 22d and will give a fiDe program of racing for that day, including a two-mile steeplechase over the course through the field. This race will be open only to hunters that have been ridden with the drag hounds of the San Mateo County Hunt, and the minimum weight wili be 160 pounds. The World's Largest Horse Range. Stretching for 200 miles on the north side of the Columbia river, from a point opposite the Dallas, Ore., away toward the Big Bend in Washington, lies the largest exclusive horse range in the United States. In this great expanse of variegated hills, prairies and sand duns, upland plateau and river bluffs range the holdings of the Switzlers— John aDd "Jade"— numbering 11,000 head of horses. For the past thirty years this expanse of country has been the range of the Switzlers, formerly William, John and Jade. In 1883, William died, and the two other brothers continued in partnership for several years, when they divided, and each now conducts his own interests. Jade Switzler lives a; Expansion, Klickitat county, Washington, twelve miles below the town of Umatilla, on the north side of the Columbia. John Switzler lives on Switzler's Island, in the Columbia river, near the town of Umatilla. Jade Switzler owns 4000 head of horses and John owns 7000 head, the range for both these immense herds being in the territory from the Dallas to the Big Bend. At the highest time of the Switzler holdings, before William Switzler died, the brothers owned at one time 15,000 head of horses. This was said to be the largest herd of horses ever owned by one company in the entire United States. The Switzler brand, an "S" on the hip, was known from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, as they shipped and drove horses to every known market in the United States. In the early history of the Switzler horse industry the holdings were cayuses — small, hardy, incorrigible pinto and buckskin mustangs- the hardiest brand of equineB that ever trailed behind the cattle herds from the Pacific Coast to Cheyenne in the early days or that followed an Indian trail over the precipitous mountains of the inland empire. But the cayuses are now entirely weeded out. The Swilzlers sold 7000 head of these wild mustangs to the Linnton cannery at a contract price of $3 per head, delivered. Since that clean-up the class of horses raised on this immense range has been greatly im proved. Large draft stallions have been crossed with the wiry, nervy Western mares, and the result is a grade of horses weighing from 1000 to 1200 pounds, that are fit for any ordinary service, and bring the highest price in every market. About 600 stallions are kept. On this 200 miles of range this 11,000 head of wild horses reign monarchs of all they survey. The Columbia and Yakima rivers are their watering places, they run over pans of three large counties, and there are colts on the ranges two and three years old without brands and were perhaps never seen by one of the Switzler herderB. Round-up corrals aro built about ten miles apart over this great range, and the fifty men employed in the round-ups gather and brand the colts in the fall. The two brothers own about 200 head of trained saddle horses— a large drove of horses in itself. None of this great herd is even fed a particle of feed during the winter season, the sand hills and rolling prairies affording sufficient nutritious feed the year round. Settlers are crowding the vast range. Watering places are being fenced up. and slowly the great ex- panse is narrowing down, but there yet remains an empire in extent. Horse stealing is more or less prevalent in the Switzler range, the very magnitude of the business making it impossible to guard against renegades from the outside who slip in and appropriate what they can safely take away. The demand for the Switzler horses is constantly growing. This season Minnesota buyers have sent out three large shipments of wild horses at $20 per per head, delivered at the yards at Kennewick, and theclass of the younger horses is being constantly im- proved.— Philadelphia Inquirer. Great activity is reported from the horse market in National Stock Yards, 111. Receipts since the first of the new year have been large and yet values have advanced fully $5 per head on all recognized classes of market animals. Best business has been dooe in smooth chunks of good weight, heavy drafter?, pressers and carriage horses, though even the - Southern sorts are reported somewhat dean ©he gvee&ev atxZt ^avt&mcm [JANUARY 28, 1905 1 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

Field Publishing Co., Chicago. Consolidation ot Coast Dogdom. As already stated in the Breeder and Sports- man there has been an effort made to bring about a re-union between the A. K. C. and W. K. L. factions on the Coast. After considerable diplomatic sparring, back and forth, the W. K. L. leaders intimated a willingness to come into the A. K. C. fold, providing that certain concessions would be made. These con- cessions were submitted to the Pacific Advisory Board and considered at length by that body. The result of that consideration and as given in full below, was transmitted to the W. K L. magnates. At a W. K. L. meeting held in Portland on the 14th inst. the A, K. C. ''revised" concessions were submitted and after discussion certain alterations as noted below were made in the document and a committee of three ap- pointed by President Julius Redelsheimer with in- structions to confer with the A.K.C. representatives regarding the changes made in the terms submitted by the Advisory Board. A comparison of the two documents will show quite a little difference in views. The Pacific Advisory Board will not consent to change the personnel of its present organization. The suggested representation for the various show giving clubs is a good move in the general interest of Coast dogdom. In filling a vacancy on the board the A. K. C. suggest an "appoved" selection, for confirmation by the A. K. C. The W. K. L. request is that choice of one person be made by the Board aDd final approval should be made by the New York authorities. The Advisory Committee states specifically that the seven members of the board shall be residents of San Francisco or its vicinity — the W. K. L. proposal on this score is that the seven members must be residents of the "city" in which the board meets, or its Immediate vicinity. The Pacific Advisory Board will not agree to a possible change of headquarters for the contemplated board. The Body of Representatives provided for is an idea that will no doubt be of benefit to the clubs interested, but there is here shown the same divergence of agree- ment as indicated in Section 1 of each document. The final clause of the W. L. K. revision is Bome- wbat in the nature of capitulation with full honors of war. What there is behind it we are not advised, we trust, however, that this clause may, in tne interest of amity and fanciers' good fellowship, be striken out. It will also be noticed that the sterner sex are to officiate exclusively. The papers above referred to are as follows: REVISED CONCESSIONS MADE BY THE PACIFIC AD- VISORY BOARD. Sctlon 1.

It is a generally acknowledged fact among those who are in touch with the work that a man is useless among sheep without a good dog. All of us who have handled large lots of Bheep know the feeling of con- fidence that is inspired by the presence of a reliable favorite at our horse's feet. On the other hand, the feeling of constant anxiety and apprehension when an incapable or unreliable dog is with us. Far away through the dust clouds melting into distance the leading sheep are running; we sent out our newly purchased or half broken Sheepdog to head them' Will he split them? Will he worry them? We fidget and fret in the choking dust, and if we could leave the laggardB for a moment, would gallop forward our- selves to see, but we must attend to our part of the contract and trust to the pup to do his. Presently there is a rush and a scramble, and the leading sheep are flung back upon the laggards to the accompani- ment of much noisy barking — and we are left in in- deolsion as to whether Larry has turned them all or left a hundred or two racing far ahead and away from us. How different it is when we send old Tweed. At a sign he is gone, swift and silent, like a ghost into the duBty twilight. There is no anxiety now. Sitting back in the saddle we whistle gaily to our flock, knowing that, come what may, the old dog will go to the very end of the stringing line, aye, and a little way beyond it, to be sure of missing no stragglers that have gone forward. When he turns them it is silently and slowly, no rush, no hurry and no barking. Still more is his value recognized when we are driving a small lot of sheep, say three or four. How widely he runs! What a watchful eye and nimble foot! Every move of his racing charges is met at once, almost anticipated. Never closer than thirty to forty yards from nis sheep the old dog drives them, stops them, turns them, fetches them behind us or takes them on before; drops like a flash to our lifted hand, swings wider to a wave of our arm, and finally almost says to us with happy, shining eyes: "Good! They're in!" when the hurdle is drawn behind tbem. But the insufficiently trained dog knows nothing of this Napoleonic Btrategy; this rule of three is further than he has gone in his mathematics, iB beyond the scope of his knowledge. He barks, he runs too cloBe, he splits his mob of three into three mobs; gets angry and "wools" them, loses his head altogether, singles one sheep out and heels and worries while we curse him by all the gods of the golden fleece and threaten him with whipcord and noose. Such is the difference between the good dog and the bad; a difference that is meagerly represented by a a few paltry dollars in price, but the difference to us between comfort and constant anxiety, between our efficiency and incapacity as shepherds and drovers and men to be trusted with stock. So it is that a good dog is of value above rubies, that fabulous sums have been asked for him and refused; that in some cases he is beyond the purchasing power of "love or money." As regards Sheepdogs, the experience of the writer is mostly confined to the brilliant, brainy Collies of the Scottish border and to the Kelpies and Barbs of the Australian sheep stations. The Collies are the scholars among workers of sheep, the experts, the professors; their erudition, their knowledge and their application of it is superb. Not only are they masters of finesse in their art, working with such intelligence that almost untold they will shoulder a strange sheep out of their flock, but they are full of resource and forethought, full of that initiative which is so neces- sary in the miBty Cheviots where for a considerable time when gathering their blacn faced charges they are beyond sight, and even hearing, of their masters. "The bit doggie kens!" is the motto of the hill shepherds, and there is present between dog and master the closest sympathy and understanding. The tall, broad shouldered "herd," with the plaid across his shoulder and the light step on the heather, has learned to look upon the noble beast trotting across the hill before him as a comrade and a brother. If you have ever watched these men with their dogB you will have noticed, maybe with some surprise, that they speak to them but little. Yet often they will stand — filling their pipes, perhaps — gazing long and earnestly into those liquid and honest eyes, read- ing, who knows, what depths of dumbly expressed devotion! In casual observation, or in conversation with them, one would think they set but little value on their faithful Collies. In reality his dog is the nearest thing to the hill man's heart. When we see these men, returning by rail from the market and sheep sales, pushing and kicking their tired, obedient Collies under the seats of the railway carriages, we can hardly realize that they hold these dogs so dear, and that, were the kick or the blow to come from anyone else, it would be quickly and strongly resented. Yet this is assuredly the case. When his owner is thus clothed and in his right mind, with a masterful grip of the si*uation, the dog at his command crouches under the seat without a protest; but let that master be flung senselesB from the effects of whiskey into the same railway carriage, and the dog at once constitutes himself his comrade and protector. No cowering away now; erect and watchful he sits up at his master's side, with teeth bared and the light of battle in his eyes; and woe be- tide the incautious stranger who will lay hand upon his drunken charge ! Till the last flocks are gathered and the last grey muzzled dogs are whistled home it will never be known how many gallant Collies have stood between their masters and robbery or assault in the Border towns, or how many have howled through the buow wreathod nights on Cheviot, keebing lonely watch over those masters in drunken stupor or in death' In far away Australia, where they count their sheep by thousands and their acres by tens of thousands, the Sheepdog is a dire necessity. If his work in that country scarcely calls for such fine discrimination or intimate knowledge as is required in the Collie, it is indispensable that he have courage and speed, intelli- gence, and, above all, wonderful and almost super- natural endurance. Australia is the land of infinate distances, of dusty gray miles of plain, stretching away into dark brown miles of scrub, the land of long red sand blown ranges and glaring sun-baked river frontages. Here all day, with feet blistered by the burning ground and torn with seed and burr, the gallant little Sheepdogs, with lolling red tongues, but keen ears, ever forward to their master's voice, follow the cantering horsemen, tireless and indefatigable. On the large sheep stations it often happens that a man has to ride ten or fifteen miles in the morning be- fore he reaches the place where his sheep work begins. It is necessary that he reach that point before the heat of the day has arrived. With this end in view he rides fast through the early morning shadow?, cantering, perhaps, for five miles, at a stretch, while his dog runs away in front of him, startling the big brown kangaroos from their early breakfast and Bet- JANUAEY|28, 1905J ?&he &v&eXnsv mtfc gtpcivt&man e ting the parrots skyward in a red-gray cloud. There are sheep to gather and drive a mile or two to the yards, there is a long dusty afternoon in the yards themselves with the little dog harking, driving, hust- ling in the dust, hot and thirsty, but always eager and willing. Then, just when the little fellow, foot- sore and tired, would give his next day's feed only to be allowed to drag himself under a shady bush and fig-tit for his breath in the stifling air, the sheep are let out, and his master springing into the saddle, whistles for him to follow home. Ah 1 those long ten miles ! Too many of the stockmen care little what becomes of the dog which has worked so loyally and well for them through the heat of the day. "He will come home all right; he has all night to do it in!" they tell you, forgetting, or not knowing, that a dog when he is following his master, whether on horse or wheel, will follow till he is utterly Bpent rather that lose sight of him. But some of the stockmen are thoughtful of their dumb comrades. Many a man after a half-mile canter says: "Pull up! I must wait for old Rocket! Poor beggar, his feet are sore!" Many a one will stoop down from his saddle and pick up Jet or Fan and carry her for four or five miles on the pommel, to his infinite inconvenience and his horse's indescribable disgust. The Sheepdogs of Australia are all shapes and sizes and of divers breeds. Collies and Collie crosses are not very frequently met with. The Scottish breed is too big for the country, and does not stand the heat well. The best Australian Sheepdogs are the Kelpies and the Barbs. The former are small black and tan, sometimes black, dogs They have the full, broad forehead that speaks of brain power behind it, Grey- hound quarters that tell of speed, and small round feet that stand the greatest possible amount of wear and tear. Some are prick-eared and some lopped; all are smooth haired, light and swift, and positive marvels in endurance. The Barb is a large dog. Perfectly black in oolor, stout and square in build, he, too, has the best points of the Kelpie — the broad, almost Bulldog forehead, the small feet and the short smooth hair. The Barb dogs are all prick-eared and have a peculiar crouching and watchful carriage. They, too, are wonderfully enduring, though they are heavier dogs than the Kelpies. They fight like Japs, and resent a thrashing from their master with tooth and nail. This breed is supposed to have originated from a black dog, given to one of the early squatters on the Gachlan river, v>y a black fellow, and is supposed to be related to the wild dogs or dingos. Be that as it may, the Barb is hard to beat for intelligence, endurance and reliability, and all the qualities that go to the making of a good Sheepdog. As a comrade he is immense. A Barb puppy is the sweetest of playthings. To work sheep is his natural inheritance, and as soon as his eyes are open he may be seen staggering and stumbling after the chickens or the ducks, not merely chasing them as a mongrel would, but trying to run out wide as his father does, blocking and turning, crouching and finessing, but never biting or hustling his drove. All puppies are independent, but the independence of the Barb is staggering and amazing. He knows no fear; he steals meat, and from under the nose of old Two-shoes, who is the boss dog bully of the run; he tears up the dishcloth of Ned, the cook, whose language — and action — when roused is a fearsome thing, and he cheerfully nibbles the hair on the fet- locks of old Nugget, the draught horse, whose temper is vile and whose kick seldom misses its mark. And every man on the station loves that irresponsible black Barb puppy. He grows and fills out; he gains speed and confi- dence and the outstanding stamina of his race. He follows hie master upon his shorter journeys over the run, and learns what it is to have a dry tongue cleav- ing to his mouth and a burr sticklhg to each foot at once. Then he learns the likely places to look for water, and how to run on three legs, or even two, when the burrs are bad. He rounds up a mob of sheep, works them with caution and the innate skill of a long pure line of Barbs, and is petted and caressed for it; chases a passing rabbit, and, wondering and pro- testing, is well thrashed with a double stockwhip. And so through good and ill he wins his day to dog- hood and its priceless reward — the love and confidence of his master. The Australian sheepman is proud of his dog, and takes every opportunity of telling you so. He has none of the reticence of the Cheviot shepherd; he talks to his dog much and often, and of him still oftener. He loves to recount his feais of prowess, his wonderful mastery of three Bheep, his reliability with a big mob. He listens to the tale of his neighbor's puppy whose work was so fine that he had lately yarded a chicken into a jam tin. "Nothing at all!" says he; "the other day I heard something buzzing, and found that Barb had just worked a bluefly into a bottle!" There is something a little selfish in all this. The Australian loves to have the best dog, just as he loves to have the best horse. It is hardly in this case the deep true fondness of the Scotch shep- herd for his dog; and yet in many cases one does find that true fondness apparent. There is the drover, for instance; the man who travels large flocks of sheep across the continent in the face of a thousand barriers of drouth and flood; this man sets true value on his faithful comrade; for without his dog his living would be gone. "A good dog is worth two men and a boy," is a time-worn maxim of the Overland, and many of us have had the truth of it driven home in a hundred ways on the naked Western plains. With a good dog, there is no, "I did not think to look there, "or "I did not go so far," or "The brute lied down and would not come." The dog just makes it its business to go and look or to fetch the sheep that staid behind. And that is why the drovers cannot do without him, and that is why, on the days on which he is not required to work, old Tweed travels in state on a cushion of sugar bags swung under the cook's wagon; that is why there is always a choice lump of meat set aside for him when the sheep draw into camp; that is why his feet are so carefully watched and tended, and why his weary master sits up late by the camp fire trying to fashion leather boots for him when the plains are strewn with burrs. There is no lack of appreciation here. A closer comradeship it would be hard to find; the dog dependent on the man for food, for protection, for life itself; the man dependent upon his dumb compan- ion for reputation and the very means of making a livelihood. In no part of the world will you find these two in closer sympathy. While speaking of the Australian Sheepdog one naturally recalls him in his capacity of comrade to the swagman, the wandering tramp of the Australian bush. A very large majority of these men own a Sheepdog of some description as companion and guard; very often indeed it is only a mongrel cross- bred; in some few caBes, especially in that of bone fide shepherds out of work, it is a Barb or Kelpie of the best type and of superlative wisdom in the sheep business. The lonely lives of these wandering men bring them to set high value upon their dogs, their only companions, and here again between dog and man there is a vast amount of sympathy. The "tucker bag" is never so empty but there is a little bit in the bottom of it for "the pup, " and the track is never so dry and the distance to water so uncertain but that the man's old felt hat is laid on the ground at intervals and a wee drop poured into the crown of it for the pup to lap. All of which goes to show that not only in the squire's hall and the lady's boudoir is the dog a com- rade and friend; but where the roughest work of the world is done it may be that we love him the best. — W. H. Ogilviein Breeders' Gazette. Pollution of San Francisco Bay and Its Tributaries. DOINGS IN DOGDOM. S. F. KENNEL CLUB. The annual meeting of the San Francisco Kennel Club was held on the 10th inst. in this city. The dates for the Club's ninth annual spring Bhow will be May 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th— at the Mechanics' Pavilion. Messrs. J. E. de Ruyter, Charles K. Harley and J. Love Cunningham will compose the Bench Show Committee. Negotiations are now pending in the effort to secure the services of a noted English judge. WORKING COLLIES. The articleon the "Sheepdog" in this issue reminds us that the Glen Tana Collie Kennels' puppies and young dogs have been in great demand among the Btockmen and farmers of the Pacific Slope. With the number of star brood bitches now in whelp to a sextetteof the best averaging Collies in the United States or Canada there will shortly be the opportunity to get some exceedingly good Collies. Mr. Griffith has filled demands from New Zealand and Australia for dogs of his breeding. SABINE KENNELS' STCD. We have received a nicely illustrated booklet from Sabine Kennels, Orange, Texas, descriptive of the kennels' stud dogs. The stud is led by the well known crack Ch. Sabine Result and includes with him Ch. Sabine Resist, Sabioe Recruit, Sabine Ruler and Sabine Reynard, a quintette of the best smooth haired Fox TerrierB on thiB Continent today, bred on the best blood lines extant. For what is offered the fancy in this breed, the stud fees and other induce- ments to send bitches to Texas, should be a strong incentive to take advantage of a good opportunity to get the best going in Fox Terrier lines, During the coming show season, announcement is made that Mr. George S. Thomas, will look after the stud dogs. Further particulars, and a copy of the stud catalogue which we ad vise all Fox Terrier fanciers to secure, can be had by addressing Sabine Kennel?, Orange, Texas. We will suggest to our readers, that a reference to this paragraph will be appreciated by the manager of the kennels. SPOKANE OFFICIALS DISQUALIFIED. The initial disqualifications under the rule adopted by the Pacific Advisory Board (and confirmed by the A. K. C), is the disqualification of the officers of the recent Spokane Kennel Club show — John M. Bunn, President; Claude D. Bond, Vice-President; A. B. Jackson, Secretary; Albert Benham and A. L. Cris- man, Directors. COAST A. K. C. CIKCCIT. Besides San Francisco, Oakland and San Mateo, there will be Portland and most probably Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma in line for the Coast A. K. C. shows. Ridgewood Doris, the young Fox Terrier with a sen- sational career that was purchased by M. Gillette from Mr. George Raper for a tidy sum, has recently been added to the Wandee string in charge of Mr. Stanley Lamas at Stapleton, L. I. Doris will be seen at the W. K. C. show. Mr. Payne L. Shatter recently sold to Mr. Chas. F. Mullins his well broken and handsome English Setter Star White. Star is by Daylight (he by Starlight W.) out of Swanhilda. Mrs. J. P. Norman had the misfortune to lose an unusually sweet tricolor Collie bitch, Montez Tyehe, recently — a victim to some miscreant who designedly placed poison where Tyche could get It. Tyche, although a bit small in size was an extremely good type of Collie, beautifully marked and with a splendid coat. She won at several shows, regular and special prizes. Cuba II (St. Leonard-Glad y's Glover) owned by Mr. M. Coleman, was served iast week by W. Wallace's crack St. Bernard Ch. Le King (Ch. Le Prince- Sylvia's Lola). Le King is considered to be the grandest headed St. Bernard on the Coast. Cuba won second novice at the S. F. K. C. show last year. Notwithst3nding the statute, which has been in force for several years past, prescribing a penalty for the pollution of the waters of the State by refuse matter from factories, mills, etc., the violation of this law is of daily and persistent recurrence. Aside from the manifold kinds of damage and in- conveniences resulting from the refuse in the bay waters from oil refineries, paint works and other sources of the combined nuisances, what particularly concerns most of our readers and sportsmen in partic- ular is the effect these substances have upon wild fowl, fish, oysters and other marine life of benefit and use to the community at large. The nuisance has been oommented upon in these columns repeatedly, and the attention of the authori- ties directed to the law violations, but so far there has not been any deviation from the illegal practice. We believe the Fish Commissioners investigated the matter in connection with complaints made against the oil refineries at Point Richmond, but what the outcome of that investigation was has not been made public — at all events the particular nuisance was not abated. Not long ago private citizens of Oakland caused the arrest of a ship's officer who was charged with being responsible for the running of oil refuse into Oakland creek. ThiB man was convicted after a trial and fined A tannery owner in Santa Cruz county was arrested on information filed by private citizens. The case was compromised; the tannery man promised to abate the nuisance and put certain machinery in his estab- lishment to divert his particular objectionable stuff from the San Lorenzo river. In this case the "stuff" had annually destroyed large quantities of fish. What has been done in regard to objectionable matter discharged into the Truckee river at Flpriston is still a problem. The paper mill people have shown by experts that the refuse complained of is not dele- terious to fish. Other people, anglers in particular, claim, and with a reason based upon knowledge and experience, that the paper mill refuse kills fish and is decidedly a nuisance otherwise. Within the past three weeks several thousand wild ducks, canvasbacks and bluebills have been captured in different parts of San Francisco and , San Pablo bays, the poor birds were so thickly covered with slimy oil refuse that they were incapable of flight or yet of swimming and diving, Some of the ducks and other sea fowl that were taken on the east side of the bay, near Emeryville, were helpless by reason of coming into contact with sticky, gluelike refuse from a paint factory. In Richardson's bay ducks were caught by hundreds by men and boys who went out after the disabled birds in boats. As far away as the Suisun, Sonoma and Petaluma marshes were birds found, and frequently shot by hunters, that were covered with the nauseous oily substance. Canvas- backs and bluebills, particularly the former variety, would make for the shore when helpless to paddle about and feed or to take flight. The birds after reaching land have been seen to make futile attemptB to cleanse themselves of the slime. In a ahort time their bills would become coated with the stuff and their feathers bunched together in tarry tufts. When the birds again took to the water, their plumage would not be the waterproof coat of feathers as it naturally should be, the down soon became soaked with water thus adding additional distress to the bird's plight. Ducks in this condition, did not feed, in fact could not feed and became in a short time ab- solutely helpless. These birds if not captured by men, boys or dogs soon die of cold and hunger, barring those that are caught by 'coons, minks and water rats. It is well known that fish taken in oily waters had a flavor that made them unfit for the table, chicks also have been found to be permeated with the unpalatable oily taste. While the effects on wild fowl, particularly those varieties that seek the salt water sections, is not in- considerable, this injury to the commonwealth, which has evoked strong denunciation from sportsmen and fair minded citizens, is not to be compared to the damage accruing to the food fishes of our bays. There is no body of salt water in the world so pro- lific, as a breeding ground and producing water, in its supply of food fishes. The wonder is that this originally enormous Bource has stood without a greater shrinkage, that has lately been so apparent, the incessant and wholesale drafts upon our bay waters that have been in vogue — legal and illegal — for there has been a wasteful prodigality resorted to that will receive the deserved condemnation in the near future of a community that will feel the effects of the present day indifference to so important a matter. On the Contra Costa shores of San Pablo bay long stretches of marsh grass can be seen sodden with oil refuse, from a distance the blackened patches of grasses present an appearance as if charred by in- numerable fires. The oil refuse in and about Richardsons bay is attributed to the oil barge that plies between Point Richmond and Sausalito. The stuff is pumped from the bilges into the bay — this violation of the law has has been noticed daily by Tiburon and Belvedere observers as the oil craft was taken through Raccoon straits channel. Deputy Fish Commissioner Thomas Woods of Oak- and recently began proceedings against the Paraffine Paint Company, whose plant is located at Emeryville, for the purposes of stopping that concern from pollut- ing the bay water with refuse from their establish- ment at that point. Prom this particular establish- ment the damage done in the manner alluded to, it is claimed, was particularly noticeable. The pollution of the water, particularly b- fuse, has been steadily on the increase for .- 10 dDUe gvceiiev axxb gtporiamau [January 28, 1905 vears past. The officials of the Pish Commission, who *ere notified time and agaio, and whose duty it was to investigate and if possible abate the nuisance have been credited with holding the view that the immense commercial interests concerned were of more import- ance than th* preservation of public property--i. e. food fish, shell fish and crustaceans, to say nothing of the dlreot and unimpeded violation of a law adopted expressly for the prevention of this damaging nui- SaCounty officials have the habit, when approached by complaining citizens, to refer them to the Fish Com- mission for action. District Attorneys, in cases of this character, call on the Commission to prosecute the offender. It has been very apparent that pros- ecutions on this score have been as scarce as hen s t eth. . . ■ . Comparison has been made that when a farmer boy shoots a dove out of season, a Jap or a Frenchman ground sluices a quail or if the unspeakable hide hunter is reported to be at his nefarious work- several hundred miles away from this city, the machinery of the Board is set in motion at once and an official representative sent off post haste to main- tain the dignity of the law and the prestige of the tri-umvlrate guardian of the State's fish and game. Selah' and let it go at that, even if it does drag a few hundred dollars, more or less, from the much be- moaned attenuated funds of the Commission. And now a word to the sportsmen, individual and collective, who have been berating the existence of conditions that produce and tolerate the nuisance that is patent and equally objeetional to everybody. The yachtsmen took action successfully in the Oakland creek oil nuisance recently. Why not, one or more, public spirited sportsmen stop growling and put up the necessary money, hire a competent lawyer and fight the case to an issue- the law and the moral sup port of the community will back the project to a finish If the apathy of the law's representatives retards a proper settlement of the matter, eneagetic action by private citizens seems to be the only re- course—save that of repea'ing the statute. Game Law Legislation. As a result of the recent agitation by the "apostles" of protection, there has been introduced a number of biils at Sacramento, all more or less opposite in their aims— with the one exception, and that is the "pro- tection" brand. In the many measures introduced there is, of course, a modicum of good. Much has been said, by Bportsmen, in condemnation of the rapacity of the market hunter. To curb the in- dividual's game slaughtering propensities and inci- dental beating of the present bag limit law, it is advocated that the sale of wild fowl be prohibited and the individual daily bag be further reduced. These proposed measures have aroused strenuous opposition from the press of the State and are unpopular with the mass of people. In this respect the rank and file of sportsmen have been misled by a fanatical, if not unprincipalled, coterie of self-appointed leaders in the good cause (?). The measure advocated by Senator Wolfe is about the most sensible effort in this particular that we have yet heard of. Senator Wolfe does not, that we are aware of, pose as a sportsman or angler nor does he make bombastic speeches on game protection nor yet write statistical articles for obscure sporting papers and Eastern magazines showing how $8,000,000 worth of outputs from all kinds of factories would be slapped if game protection was not rigidly enforced in accordance with the writer's distorted but inter- ested propaganda. Senator Wolfe's bill provides that market hunters, dealers and purveyors of wild fowl shall be licensed. That the market hunter must ship his game to mar- ket tagged with the number of his license so that no more than one limit bag daily can be shipped on one individual's license. It might be possible to get around the license tag by one individual controlling more than one license, this possibility could be overcome by an imposition of an individual license in an amount that would make it prohibitive to invest, indirectly, in many of them. It lookB aB if the outcome of the present game law agitation, if successful in certain advocated lines, *ould place the main body of the sportsmen of this State in the same plight the frogs where when they chose a stork the ruler of the bog. One sentiment gaining ground, and a dangerous one fcr J,he reasonable interests of all sportsmen, is the assertion by the daily press that the majority of the measures "advocated by so-called sportsmen" is in thelineof legislation for a privileged class. This claim is not as far fetched as it seems to the sportsmen — for much of the chaogeB claimed are practically favorable to the interests of a minority of the users of the shotgun and rifle in this State. While the changes urged may be favorable to the comparative few and in the line of game protection for the few, the effect of such protective changes will be the perpetuation of its benefits for a favored class. This is not in the spirit of the law nor ia it reasonable game projection. The wild game of this State does not belong to the gun clubs, or even to the owners of the land upon which it is found. It belongs to the whole people of ths State and legislation to protect it must be drawn In the interest of the whole people. The first essential of a just game law Is that it should bear equally upon all persons. Whatever restrictions are necessary let them apply to all; whatever privileges are granted, let them be enjoyed by all. It was intimated in this journal that at the recent game association meeting, at Visalia, much of the good stuff touted and eloquently advocated as the real thinf- in game protection was iloated for a temporary purnose and that the crux of the game law changes, orouaced with the alleged backing of the association, •" d appear when the "apostles" showed their hand at Sacramento. Our prophesy has not been un- founded, for there are material differences in the changes submitted as compared with the much touted good things originally agreed upon. The departure from original lines is so pronounced in certain matters, that sportsmen interested in fair play and the con- servation of proper game laws have taken it upon themselves to go to Sacramento and combat the subtle influences of bad faith in an effort to champion the cause of right and the equitable privileges of the sportsmen of the State. The Anglers' Club. A number of enthusiastic devotees of the rod met on Monday evening last and organized the Anglers' Club. With the San Francisco Fly-Casting Club, the Pacific Striped Bass Club and the San Francisco Striped Bass Club already in the field and also popular organizations, it would follow in most any other city that this particular groove was fairly well filled. In- stead of that, and assuredly without any reflective comparison aimed at the older clubs, we are pleased to note that there is room and a welcome place for the newly formed club. Its objects are, the advance- ment of amateur angling, propagation and protection of game fish, the bringing nearer together all desciples o Izaak Walton and the amalgamation of all lovers of the gentle art into one conservative body. In this most worthy design the gentlemen members of the new club have our best wishes and can rely upon the support of this journal in the furtherance of the club's aim for the general good it may and can do sportsmen and anglers. We wish the Anglers' Club every success. At the organization meeting the roll was signed by 60 charter members and the following board of officers were elected: President, John H. Sammi; First Vice- President, Samuel Wells; Second Vice-President, W. Halstead; Secretary, Clarence Ashlin; Directors — Jabez Swan, R. Haas, C. Ashlin, Bert Spring, Sam Wells, J. H. Sammi, John Butler, George Wentwortb, W. Halstead and J. Flynn. Quarters will soon be secured and it is sanguinely expected that the membership will soon be over 100. The Shaded Valley. The late Leland K. Kerchival, a well known attache of the Board of Fish Commissioners:, was popular with sportsmen of this State. He was noted as being a conscientious, fearless and painstaking officer. His loss as a State officer is one to be regretted. His un- timely passing away was a sad blow to surviving relatives and a wide circle of friends. Charles T. Baird, the armless shooter, passed away in Marysville on January 23d. He was a frequent visitor at various gun club shoots and used a "pump" gun with remarkable skill considering that he was a cripple. He was but 28 years of age, his demise was due to natural causes. We regret sincerely to note the reported disap- pearance of Horace H. Briggs from his residence on Sherman island. Mr. Briggs has not been heard from since January 3d. On that day he went away from his house in a skiff, the boat was subsequently found in the tules on the levee, one oar and an oarlock were missing, the only vestige of its last known occupant was his coat which was in the bottom of the boat. Horace Briggs is well known to the sportsmen of this Coast as a magazine and newspaper writer of more than ordinary abilities. We trust sincerely that these lines, presaging dis- aster to our friend, are premature. GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. QUAIL RE-STOCKING, The respective keepers of the Country Club and Point Reyes Sportsmen's Club will endeavor to secure a number of quails that frequent the heavily wooded sections of the club preserves, districts that are too hard to hunt over. The birds will be liberated on other tracts having suitable cover so that by next season ihe birds may have bred numerously enough to re-stock the favorite shooting localities. A MUSEUM AT PACIFIC GROVE. Mr. W. H. Varian, a popular and crack trapshooter, who hails from Pacific Grove, Monterey county, has recently erected a fine new building in the pretty town by the sea and proposes to fit up the business portion of the new house in a manner in keeping with the increasingdemands of a growing community. Mr. Varian's sanctum will be the repository' of many beautiful and rare plants and also a collection of mounted birds and stuffed animals that Is worthy of the attention of visiting sportsmen. many flocks of wild ducks whose course caused them to pass in the neighborhood of the lake of oil, have swooped down Into the sticky substance, mistaking it for a body of water. With wings and feathers satur- ated with the heavy oil few of them were able to make their escape. Amusing reportB are made of "divers" making the same mistake by plunging deep into the oil atd waddling to the surface with evident surprise." BOBCATS ELECTROCUTED. Two wildcats caused every town and hundreds of homes in the San Bernardino valley to experience total darkness for two hours one night last week. Between Ontario and Azusa the romping beasts sped up a pole carrying the high tension electric wires of the Pacific Lighting Company, got mixed among the lines and caused a short circuit of 15,000 voltage. It took a long time to locate the trouble and turn the current on the reserve wires. The incinerated bodies of the cats were found the next day among the cross- arms on the pole, where electrocution bad ended their frolic. Among the dozen towns which suffered were San Bernardino, Redlands, Colton, Chino, Upland, Ontario and Claremont. A Remarkable Record by a One-Armed Shooter. John A. Flick, of Ravenna, O., a one armed shooter, and a staunch advocate and admirer of the only gun, in his estimation, the "Old Reliable" Parker, has done some magnificent shooting with the new auto- matic ejector in his hands. At Cleveland, O., Sept. 28, Mr. Flick won high general average. Also a cup on straight score, beating such men as Upson, Snow, LeCompte, Trimble, etc. At the Portage county tournament Oct. 4 and 5, Mr. Flick won third general average, tying C. A. Young and Hikes, beating out all other professionals. On the last day he was second high average. Akron, O., Oct. 12, second general average, and December 14, high general average. At Portage County Gun Club, Dec. 15, he defended the Tri- County badge against Mr. Waggoner, of Akron, with a score of 93 out of 100, against Mr. Waggoner's 88. R. C. Derk of Northumberland, Pa., has been mak- ing some remarkable records with his Parker gun at live birds. Live bird shooting is the severest test to which a gun can be put, and Mr. Derk 's record reflects credit on the "Old Reliable" Parker gun. At live birds on Aug. 27, Mr. Derk killed 25 straight. On Oct. 8, 12 out of 13; Nov. 5, 10 out of 12; on Dec. 31, 13 out of 15; on Jan. 5, 25 straight, making a total of 85 out of 90. - ■ ^ — Something To Be Proud Of. The awarding of the grand prize to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. New Haven, Conn., at the St. Louis Exposition confers upon this company the highest maik of distinction attained by any manu- facturer of guns or ammunition in the world. Al- though a great number of medals were given to this class of manufacturers, the only award of a grand prize was to the Winchester Repeating Arms Com- pany and given as it was in competition with the lead- ing manufacturers of all countries, it testifies in a most decided way to the superiority of Winchester rifles, shotguns and ammunition over all other makes. The success attained by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company at this exposition is simply in line with the honors received in the past. At the Paris Exposition Winchester arms and ammunition received the Grand Prix, and wherever they have been exhib- ited they have always been given the highest possible prices. This latest recognition of superiority is the natural result of 30 years of careful and successful endeavor in maintaining the high quality of Winches- ter rifles, shotguns and ammunition. Good Averages Reported. DUCKS STRUCK OIL. The Santa Barbara Independent states the following: "The Union Oil Company which recently struck the big gusher in the Santa Maria field, was not only sur- prised at striking oil at the depth at which it was found, but unwittingly sprung a surprise on the wild ducks which abound in large numbers in that section of the oountry. With oil spouting from the well at the rate of about ten thousand barrels a day and with no adequate storage facilities, it was necessary to construct dams at intervals along the canyon leading from the well in the direction of Orcut station and to excavate a great reservoir.

The Ithaca Arms Company will put on the market this year a new gun — a $20 shotgun that is the biggest proposition in the way of a low priced popular shot- gun ever called to the attention of sportsmen of this country. r Tne gun will be of good quality and guaranteed as are the other grades of Ithaca gun. It will have all of the good points of the higher priced guns of their make, half pistol grip and smokeless powder steel barrels. The Ithaca Field gun is destined to be a popular gun if merit and price are any inducements. Jackson's Napa Soda Is sold in every city, town and hamlet in the State.

Meersch in Amerloan Poultry Advocate] Those people wbo have access to a good grass run, and who are thinking of keep- ing geese, probably the most profitable of all our domestic fowls, should now (very early) make a commencement, if not al- ready done so. Geese should be procured in the fall, because they take such a long while to settle down in a fresh place, and to make themselves at home. So much in fact are they effected by a change of abode that if it occurs within two or three months of the time when eggs are ex- pected, which should be in February the probability is, that they will either not come on to lay, or if they do, that many of the eggs will be unfertile. If a begin- ning is made with goslings it ii well to note that propably they may not lay nest year, for geese, aB a rule do not breed before they are two years old. If older birds are preferred, thej should be obtained from Bomeone who can be re- lied upon. Though geese live for many years and continue productive, there is a limit to their powers; and it is no unusual thing for those that are offered for sale, to be too old for use. Three geese are sufficient to run with one gander. To ensure the fertility of the eggs, the birds require water to swim in. If there is no stream or'pond available, a good sized tub sunk in the ground will answer the purpose. The stock geese do not require meal or other fattening food. They will forage for themselves to a great extent by eating grass, and a light feed of oats or other grain in the morning is all that is nec- cessary. There are several breeds of geese. A cross between the Embden and the Tou- louse makes a very large, quick-growing bird. If bred from the Embden gander and a Toulouse goose, the offspring will be mostly white, the feathers more valu- able. Stock geese must be large in frame and long and deep in body. Small geese are hardly worth growing, just as cheap to pay a little more and to start with birds that will rear large, plump goslings. Geese that are sufficiently matured and that have not changed their quarters since the last of October, will in most districts commence to lay in February; young geese do not lav as many fertile eggs in the first season aB they do in the Becond, neither do any geese do well, if they have recently been moved from one place to another. The stock birds will lay for many years, and the eggs will prove fertile, while the birds are old. Some people keep the same geese for over ten years, while there are instances of geese having lived for upward of half a century. Warranted to Give Satisfaction.

A writer has no confidence in the state- ment that hens get too fat to lay. He sayB that his hens lay best in corn-husk- ing time, and that the farm hen is more likely to suffer from want of feed. The bowel trouble of chickens is often from cold rather than from errors in diet. Dry food is growing in popularity. Wet food is supposed to be the cause of bowel trouble. Farmers can scarcely afford to feed the fancy foods necessary to produce the first class results of fanciers who obtain high prices for eggs and their thoroughbred Btojk. After ducklings are a few weeks old they are extremely hardv. They will thrive on what would be passed, by by a chicken, or would kill it if eaten by the chick. It will not be safe to take poultry keep- ing as a short cut to wealth. Riches in anything are made as difficult as the catching a wild hen. It iB a very un- certain chase. Feeding shelled corn is good feed to make hens lay in cold weather. One of the best times to fight poultry insects is before they appear. The ounce of prevention is the safest method. It don't pay to feed cheap food of any kind, nor to give cheap remedies. The best produces the best resu'ts. It is poor policy to wait until cold weather comes before preparing for it. The prudent, foreBighted man prepares for cold or rain when it is warm or dry. There is a difference of opinion as to the necessity of grinding feed for chickens. But all are of the opinion that little chickena do not need wet food any more than the old hen does, and that it is more likely to injure them than it is to injure her. All kinds of poultry do well in the orchard, but allkindB should not be kept in the same yard. Large and small should be kept separate, and one kind should not be kept with another. Early hatchers are the best. Yet if one is unable to secure the early hatch, there is something in the late fryer or broiler. Chickens hatched aB late as July may be raised, if the proper care is given to them. The large, slow growth varieties are not advisable for the late hatch, but some of the smaller varieties, such as Hamburgs, Leghorns and possibly the Plymouth Rocks. Estimates Bhow that the combined value of poultry and eggs is nearly double that of the precious metala, and six times that of wool. Iowa leads in egg produc- tion, furniBhing almost 100,000,000 dozen, Ohio, Illinois and Missouri come second, third and fourth. The average price of the eggs marketed in the United States is 11.15 cents per dozen. The majority of fowls are in small flocks on a large number of farms, where they largely take care of themselvis and gather their own food. In Korea the farmers tie egga together with long wisps of straw, until there are two dozen on a string; then go from house to house, cutting off as many as are needed. Sometimes the eggs are swung across a pony's back and carried to the customer in this way. The season and the hen should de- termine the number of eggs that should be put under the hen for hatching. If the weather is cool and uncertain, she should not be given too many. Fowls fatten easily, so that if fed as much as they will eat, they will not hunt and scratch, so that they become lazy and do not do well. Little chicks need little or no food for the first twenty-four hours after they are hatched. They do best to remain under the hen as long as they will. — Texas Farmer. * Sober up on Jackson's Napa Soda. Sheep in Great Britain are especially adapted to their particular districts. Careful study has been made and sheep produced which are especially adapted to the locality. On the hills of Wales a light breed of mutton sheep possessing medium wool has been developed. These little sheep climb over the rocky ledges lightly pick their living among scanty herbage, produce a medium crop of wool and the sweetest mutton in all the world, to Welshmen say. On the bottom lands in the south of England the heavier sheep is wanted, and the downs, according to English perversity are raised on the up- lands. But wherever sheep are found in Great Britain they are noticeably well adapted to their surroundings. The producing of fat varies greatly in milk, but it varies more with the poor milk of poorly fed scrubs than with other classes. Tuttle's Elixir $100.00 REWARD.

Beckers, University, Cal BILLS appropriating several millions of dollars more than can possibly be raised during the next two years by taxation have been introduced in the California Legislature to date, and the session is not yet half over. As nearly every measure introduced is backed by some interest more or less influential and energetic, that is working for its passage and also for its approval by the Governor, the outlook for any money being appropriated for district fairs is very poor, as no new bills uor amendment to the old bill which provided for them, has been introduced as yet and it is pretty certain that Governor Pardee will not favor the old measure, as he considers the amount it carries too great for the present condition of the State's finances. From those who have talked with the Governor about the district fairs, we learn that he favors them and also favors the State giving them financial aid, but thinks a batter and more economical measure than the present law governing them can be devised that will make them of much greater benefit and value to all concerned. There does not seem to be any active or concerted movement on the part of breeders and agriculturists toward the introduction of any measure which will provide for the district fairs. The State Fair directors are alert and have already had bills introduced in both houses which if passed will put. the State Agricultural Society on its feet and provide a spendidly appointed fair ground, but the district boards are taking no steps to induce the Legislature to provide for their fairs. The Board of Directors of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association is the only body that has done anything along these lines, and as an organiza- tion of representative breeders, repre'enting interests that pay large sums annually into the State Treasury, they have done what they could to start a movement which will result in appropriations being made for district fairs. But while the Breeders Association has sent a committee to Sacramento which waited on the Governor and discussed the situation with several members of the legislative body, it is about the only organization that has shown any energy in the matter. This being the condition that confronts the harness horse breeders of California, they should take im- mediate steps toward holding a series of race meetings in the State this year whether the district fairs are held or not. At Los Angeles, Fresno, Stockton, Pleasanton, San Jose, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Vallejo and Woodland there are good mile tracks provided with the necessary stalls and buildings, and first class harness meetings can be held at each and every one of those places that will be well patronized and financially successful. There is a 'demand for the formation of a California Circuit of Harness Meetings, without waiting for the "aid or consent" of any district or State body. Owners or lesees of tracks and breeders of harness horses are the ones to organize such a circuit. The Breeders' Association is willing to give one or two extra meet- ings in addition to its regular annual event, but its officers prefer that the local people manage their own meetings. Cannot a meeting be called within the next two weeks of representatives of the cities and tracks named above? We should like to hear from those of our readers who have ideas and views on thesubject. DALO ALTO STOCK FARM still owns two stal- r lions — Mendocino 2:19}, sire of Monte Carlo 2:07}, etc., and the McKinney stallion McKena 39460. These stallions will stand for public service this year, Mendocino at 3100, and McKena at $35. McKena is a grand, large horse 16.2 :ind weighs 1350 pounds. His dam is Helena 2:11 J by Electioneer A more extended notice of these stallions will appear next week. In the meantime we ask our readers to look over the Palo Alto Farm's advertisement in this issue. The Best Bred Colt. Chas. A. Durfee, the former owner of McKinney, was looking over the exchanges in the BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN office last week and noticed that several eastern breeders were claiming to own the "best bred colt." "I think I have an entry in that contest," remarked Mr Durfee, "and on a showdown will come pretty near getting all the money. My entry is Galindo, and you know how he is bred." Mr. Durfee's claim is entitled to consideration. Galindo is by McKinney 2:11 J, acknowledged to be the greatest sire of his age that ever lived. His first dam is the great broodmare Elsie, dam of Palita, two-year- old record 2:16, Rio Alto, three-year-old recoi d 2:16J, Mary Osborne, yearling record i.:37 and three-year- old record 2:28J, Novelist, two-year-old record 2:27, and Salvini 2:30. Four of Elsie's daughters have produced standard speed and her son Salvini is the sire of Easter 2:12}. Elsie is by Gen. Benton, whose daughtershave produced Sunol 2:08}, a world's record at the time it was made, Serpol 2:10, Cobwebs 2:12, Azmon 2:13^, El Rami 2:14, and the pacers Lena N. 2:05J, Rajah 2:10} and Colonel Benton 2:14}. The second dam of Galindo is another great brood- mare, Elaine 2:20, herself the holder of a world's record, and the dam of Iran Alto 2:12}, Palatine 2:18, An~elma2:29J and Altoaine 2:29i. Elaine's son, Iran Alto, is the sire of Dr. Frasse (4) 2:12|, Thomas R. (4) 2:15 and several more in the list. Herdaughters have produced eight in the list. Elaine is by Messenger Duroc 106, sire of 21 standard performers, 25 produc- ing sons and 50 producing daughters. ■ Green Mountain Maid, one of the greatest of all great broodmares, is the third dam of Mr. Dur" fee's colt. She is the dam of nine standard per" formers and has four producing sons including Elec- tioneer 125, sire of more standard trotters than any other stallion, and five producing daughters. Green Mountain Maid's sons have sired such fast ones as Arion 2:07}, Sunol 2:08}, Palo Alto 2.083;, Swift 2:07, and Direct View 2:08}, and their daughters have pro duced Klatawah (3) 2:05}, Dolly Dillon 2:06J, Lisonjero 2:08}, Cavaliero 2:09} and many more. If there is a colt whose breeding is any better than Galindo's, Mr. Durfee says he would like to hear of him. By McKinney 2:11} ths.t has 34 in the 2:15 list, and with his first three dams the producers of a total of 18 standard performers, it does look as though Galindo has those eastern best bred fellows "skinned a block." • Answers to Correspondents.

Among the many well bred stallions that have forced their way to recognition in spite of the hand', cap of the lack of opportunity, Strathway, son of Steinway, is a notable example. Strathway was bred by A. L. Whitney who also bred his half-brother Dawn 2:18} that used to be known, when he was alive, as the fastest Btallion that ever looked through a bridle. Mr. Whitney retired from the breeding ranks and his horses were sold, and oeither Strathway or Dawn ever had the chances in the stud they were entitled to, but both achieved some fame, and now Strathway is just beginning to be recognized as one of the best producing stallions in California, and his owner, Graham E. Babcock, of Coronado, has sent him to this section of the State, that Strathway may have an opportunity to be mated with some good mares in this part of the country. Strathway will be at Pleasanton during the season, and parties wishing to breed to him should address James Thompson Pleasanton, or S. Christenson, Palace Hotel, San Francisco. Strathway made his record in 1892 to high wheel sulky over the Tulare track which was considered several seconds slow. He is a chestnut horse of fine proportions and bis get have uniform good looks and great natural speed. In 1901 Charles Clark of Fresno took Strathway's unsexed son Toggles across the mountains and started him in races against such fast ones as Dolly Dillon 2:06}, Onward Silver 2:05}, Alcedalia 2:10}, Fereno 2:05} and others and beat them all in heats or races, quitting the season with a record of 2:08J. Last year John Caldwell, another gelding by Strathway, was one of the star trotters of the Grand Circuit in the green classes, winning about $7000 for his owner, and getting a mark of 2:11}. Another good trotting son of Strathway was Homeward that took a record of 2:13} and is the sire of that sensational trotter George G. 2:06} that sold for $15,000. Another son of Strath- way, achieved prominence this year as a sire. We refer to Stoneway 2:23} that is the sire of My Way 2:22 and Stonelita 2:20. Strathway is by the great Steinway and out of a great broodmare by Whipples Hambletonian, sire of the dams of Azote 2:04}, Georgena 2:07}, and many others. In breeding to a stallion it is wise to pick those that have produced Grand Circuit winners, as that is the supreme test of a good trotter or pacer. One that can win there can win anywhere on earth. Few stal- lions can put five in the 2:15 list with the limited op- portunities Strathway has had.

The handsome and fast trotting mare Dollexa 2:21} by Alexis 18340, owned by Mr. C. F. White, of Wash- ington, died at San Jose last week. Dollexa was bred last year to Monterey 2:09}, was in foal, and had been nominated in Breeders Futurity No. 5. Her foal of the previous year was also by Monterey and is a very promising yearling. A four-year-old brother to Fereno 2:05} was sold at the Splan sale in Chicago two weeks ago for $700 The price was low for his looks and breeding, but the fact that he was consigned direct from the Walnut Farm led buyers to believe that he had been tried and found wanting in speed. Otherwise, says Henry White of theChicago journal, the four-year-old would have brought $2000. Mr. Caplatzski of Santa Cruz, who owns a fine mare by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16}, has leased her to Mr. Henry Struve of Watsonville for breeding purposes. Mr. Struve will breed her to Welcome 2:10J and the cross should be a good one.

He says she is a bundle of nerves and will-power and when he takes her out for exercise, walks her as much as possible, never calling on her to go faster, but coax- ing her back as there is no time she is not ready to jog or even trot fast if permitted. Mr. Doble says the trotting queen is "city broke" as she has never shied at street cars, bicycles orautos, but goes by them as if she has been brought up in a modern city and stabled in a round house. She wants to trot fast and show herspeed on any and all occasions and it takes lots of that patience, which Doble possesses to as great a degree as any man, to keep her down to the prosaic jog that is in keeping with the manners of a mare that is simply in California during the winter for her health. Monroe Salisbury took a short sea voyage last week and came back to Pleasanton with a bay pacer that is now a member of the Butler string and being worked by Chas. DeRyder. They call this pacer Bolivar "W. He is by Wayland W. 2:12$ and can show a 2:10 gait. It is said that Mr. Salisbury paid $2500 for him and the Pleasanton horsemen who have seen the fellow go, say he is worth more money. Mr. Salisbury purchased him at Eureka, Humboldt Co., going up on the 6teamer Pomona, getting the horse, and returning with him on the same vessel. Morosco on the Grand Circuit this year and with his better half will make the tour to see the horse trot. If Morosco should make a good showing among the horses in his class on the big ring Mr. Minor will consider that he has been fully repaid for keeping him and refu ing the offer, although the winnings do not amount to the sum offered. An incident happened at Pleasanton last Monday that is worth chronicling in this journal. W. J. Speers, of Oakland, who has used the handsome little mare Sadie Moor 2:26 by Grand Moor as a buggy mare for several years, drove over to Pleasanton that day to see a gentleman in regard to selling her. He drove her to his road buggy, and leaving Oak- land at noon reached Pleasanton, thirty or more miles distant over the hills, in four hours. Will Johnson, who trains for Messrs. Brace and Minor of Eureka, met Mr. Speers on his arrival, and it hap- pened that Mr. Brace was with him. Mr. Speers re- marked to Mr. B. that Sadie Moor would make a good broodmare, but the latter said he was loaded up with all the breeding stock he wanted and could not think of buying any more. Mr. Speers, however suggested that Sadie be hitched to a cart and that Mr. Brace drive her around the track once or twice to see what a nice driver she is, and Mr. B reluctantly consented. So Sadie Moor was taken from the buggy she has just pulled for thirty miles and hooked to a cart. Mr Brace weighs 216 pounds, but is active, and mounting the cart took the lines and started the mare up. He drove her around the track once and then went back up the stretch to the half-mile pole, turned her around, jogged to the three-quarter pole and called on her. Sadie Moor is fifteen years old this spring and has had three foals, but with all tbe fire and speed of her youth she trotted the quarter in less than 36 seconds, several watches held by the spectators catching the time as 2:351. Mr. Brace dismounted and told Mr. Speers that he wanted the little mare and the sale was made. Few mares of that age could equal the performance under like conditions. Mr. Brace will breed ber to his young stallion Grecko, son of McKinney and Aileen by Anteeo, second dam Lou Milton, dam of Lou Dillon 1:581. Mr. Speers owns a filly from ber by Waldstein that is coming two years old and is a very handsome and well proportioned trotter with much promise as a road mare, the use to which her owner will put ber, and Mr. Kohler of Oak- land owns a yearling colt from ber by Guy McKinney that is an excellent prospect. James Thompson dropped in at the office of the Breeder and Sportsman on Thursday of this week, looking as slick and prosperous as a frenzied financier. This was his first visit to San Francisco, in the daytime, since his return from the Grand Cir- cuit, where he campaigned Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick's good trotter John Caldwell 2:11J, known to the Eastern scribes as the ''best managed horse that went down the big line in 1904." Thompson has quite a string at the Pleasanton track and is handling several youngsters for the Colonel that have every symptom of the speed disease. I have never seen a trainer who knew Thompson who doubted his ability as a conditioner. His horses always look well when they are seen on the track, and they get to the races in condition to show something of their quality. "Jeems" speaks in the very highest praise of the Grand Circuit of 1904, but thinks that 1905 will be even better. George Hayt is the right man in the right place, according to Thompson, who believes that the presiding judge of 1904 is a man of ability who tries to do right all the time, and that any mis- takes he makes are unintentional. When asked about the new Grand Circuit starter, Mr. Newton, he said: "Well, they say he is a high class man, and I think he must be, or they would not have engaged him, but I don't see how any one can beat Frank Walker very much." By the way, Mr. Thompson says he is in the market for good trotters or pacers that have class enough to race in the matinees over East or on the Grand Cir- cuit. So I advise all owners who have a craekerjack for sale (and their name is legion in California) to write to James Thompson at Pleasanton, giving a full description of their horses, and the lowest cash price, and I'll wager right now that Thompson 'smaii during the next two months will be the cause of a petition for a raise in the salary of the Pleasanton Nasby. Mr. Brace recently purchased a filly bv Waldstein out of a Grand Moor mare that trotted a quarter as a two-year-cld in 39 seconds. She is very large and weighs eleven hundred pound?, although but three years old. Mr. Brace paid $350 and will .ireed her to Grecko An interesting piece of news that comes from Pleasanton this week is that Mr. Isaac Minor, the owner of the trotter Morosco 2:12 refused a big offer for him last week — a person who should know tbe facts saying that tbe amount was $11,000. Morosco was undoubtedly tbe highest class trotter on theCartornia Circuit last season, and a record below 2:10 should be easily within his reach this year. Mr. who is a well-to-do lumberman of Humboldt . states that he has not had a good vacation ~iy years and that he contemplates entering Frank D. Colburn of Boston, and stepped an eighth in 17 seconds last Monday. He is a nice gaited pacer and a very promising two-year-old. An own brother to this fellow is also a fast prospect. The black two- year-old pacer by Educator, dam Hulda by Guide, owned by Mr. Henry paced an eighth in 17f seconds one day last week. This fellow is an inbred Director and his second dam is that good broodmare Alice R. by Naubuc. Selab a stud colt, four years old by Mc- Kinney out of Anna by Director trotted a quarter for Mr. Henry in 35} seconds the other day. He is owned by Mr. G. S. Langan of Haywards. Another very promising trotter in this string is John C. Henry, a Silver Bow colt that has only been brokenitwo months, but is fast. Every Zolock colt that is handled seems to show a lot of speed. Chas. Farrar, of Santa Ana, who sold one to Iowa parties for $2000, says he is the best colt he ever handled. Dr. Hazlett, of San Bernardino, owns a Zolock filly that can pace a two-minute gait. Ned Mosier, tbe horse shoer, of Los Angeles, has just bought a Zolock filly from Judge Shanklin of the same place, on account of her natural speed. Will Durfee is working three and they are all good ones. Mr. Vance has recently purchased a Zolock filly from Mr. Cole of San Bernardino that will make a race mare. Walter Maben has a sister to the $2000 colt that is owned by Mr. Bohan, the hotel man. Mr. Prescott, of San Bernardino has a very fast colt by Zolock out of the dam of Roan Wilkes 2:12|. Several high class mares are already booked to the sire of Delilah 2:161 and Ambush 2:20 as two-year-olds. Among them are W. O. Bowers' Betsy B. by Silver Bee, dam a sister to Mary Lou, dam of Kinney Lou 2:07|, and M. Silva's pacing mare Polka Dot 2:14} by Mendocino. Dr. Himelbaugh, of Salt Lake, has also sant a Patchen Wilkes mare out of Angie D. 2:07 to Zolock. Farmer Bunch was down from Pleasanton this week, taking advantage of the rainy weather vhieh kept him off the track, to attend to a little business at the metropolis. The Farmer is working an even dozen trotters and pacers at Pleasanton track, and says that he only wants the opportunity that meetings offer to show the boys that he has several good ones in his Btring. The mare HattieCroner has fully recovered from her severe illness of last year, and Mr. Bunch believes she will step below 2:10 this year without much trouble. He has recently added to his string a bay mare called Petaluma Girl, owned by Mr. Offutt of Petaluma, that looks like a fine prospect. She is ' by Lynwood Wilkes 2:20 out of a mare by Anteeo, and looks like Sonoma Girl, the fast green trotter owned by Mr. J. Springer. Bunch is working several Iran Alto colts and fillies that are stepping as if they were after first money in the stakes they are entered in. They are coming three-year-olds and all worked miles better than 2:30 last year in their two-year old form. Iran Alto will be one of the leading speed sires of the Coast with half a chance in the stud. Mr. M. Henry, of Haywards, who has quite a string of his own colts aud fillies by his stallion Educator, working at Pleasanton track, is also handling a few young horses owned by others. One of the most promising is a colt by Gossiper 2:14|, dam by Algona, the sire of Flying Jib 2:04. This colt is owned by Mr. The Leading Son of McKinney. The question as to what trotting stallion Is tbe greatest sire is no longer debatable. All recognize that McKinney is entitled to that honor and from the Atlantic to the Pacific his praises are being sounded even by those who were his severest critics a few short years ago. Now that McKinney is lost to this Coast, breeders will look to one of his sons to fill the place he has occupied and naturally Zambro's name will be placed at the head of the list of those of hi6 sons old enough to be sires of the standard performers. Zombro's rec- ord of 2:11 would have been reduced at least six sec- onds, had the horse not been unfortunate. He had the speed, but circumstances prevented his attaining that which was within his reach. He was undoubt- edly the greatest three-year-old ever seen on the Pacific Coast. C. A Durfee is authority for the state- ment that a mile in 2:08 was within Zombro's reach at the closeof his three-year-old campaign, during which he won forty heats in standard time, a feat never be- fore or since accomplished by any three-year-old. In the stud Zombro has been a decided success. He has seven in the list, all square and natural trot- ters, the fastest being Zephyr 2:11, a mare that won a heat in 2:061 in a race, but unfortunately for her owner, the timers were not in the stand and no time was given out. The fastest green trotter that has shown this year in California is a Zombro. He is owned by Mr. M. A. Murphy of this city, and is in Al McDonald's string at Pleasanton. A mile in 2:12 is within his reach now. All the young Zombros are bays, browns or blacks, solid color and natural trot- ters. They are grand lookers like their sire, who is beyond all question one of the grandest looking of trotting stallions. Mr. Geo. T. Beckers, who bred and who still owns Zombro, will keep the horse for public Bervice at Los Ang6les until June 1st this year. Last year Zombro was taken East, and had a large number of high class mares bred to him, but Mr. Beckers thinks California is good enough for him as a dwelling place and brought his horse back, glad to again be at home, where the sun shines and the flowers bloom the year round. Mr. B. has recently purchased a fine piece of property adjoining Agricultural Park, Los Angeles, whereon he is building a neat cottage for himself and family, and a home for Zombro. He has engaged some fine pasture for the mares and will give them every at- tention. The service fee for Zombro has been placed at the low figure of $50 and breeders should not miss the opportunity to ship their mares to him. It will be the best investment for the money one can make, as a colt or filly by Zombro can be sold for a figure that will bring a profit as soon as it is foaled. We suggest that the advertisement of Zombro be read carefully and Mr. Beckers corresponded with for any farther information. Absorbine and Hard Bunches. The letters which follow tell their own story. The key to all successor this kind is patience and perseverance. The meat in tbe cocoanut in these stories is that hard bunches have been re- moved with Absorbine, avoiding the unpleasantness of history: New Glasgow, N. S.. Feb. 16, 1894. W. F. Young. Springfield. Mass. Dear Sir:'— I have used your Absorbine for swollen tendons and windpuffs with results that surprised me. I can also recom- mend it as excellent for splints and bony enlargements. Very truly yours, John X. Cameron. II". F. Young. Springfield. Mass. Dear Sir:— I have' taken off a splint with your Absorbine that was on my horse for six months, and am about to try it on one with thick glands. If you oan give me special instructions, would be pleased to have you do so. Yours truly, G. W Fitzsimmons. Ocean Boulevard and King's Highwat, Brooklyn, Jnne 18, 1897. . IT*. F. Young, Springfield. Mass. Dear Sir:— I ,aue pleasure in endorsing your Absorbine. It has entirely removed two ossilets from a promising two-year-old colt without turning a hair, and left his limbs as clean as ever. Very respectfully, John Kelly. Absorbine, $2 per bottle, express prepaid. Address !V. F. YOONG, P. D. F., Springfield, Mass. Bristol, N. H., June 21, 1885. Dr. S A. Tulth, Dear Sir:— Having used your Elixir in the different diseases in horses, I consider it the best horse medicine in the market. I have never failed of obtaining good results in every case where I have used it. Every man owning a horse should have a bottle of it in his stable. Yours very truly, G. Q. BROWN. February 4, 1905] &he gveebev tmfc itpartsmcm Buffalo's $10,000 trot will probably be for the 2:11 class. An advertiser offers a well-bred trotting stallion and two draft stallions for sale. Isaac H. Pawling, of Philadelphia, has left for a trip to California in search of a McKinney for a wealthy Quaker City horseman. A high-class son of Electioneer with a fast record is for lsase on shares to a reliable party who can give references. Apply at this office. Parties in search of stallions, roadsters or track animals would do well to consult our advertising columns. Several good horses are advertised therb. If you don't see what you want, ask for it through this paper. There is much talk at Pleasanton of the new track, and the Pleasanton Times is boosting the proposition in good shape. Two tracks at Pleasanton would not be overdoing the business, as the probability is that both would be crowded all winter, although many stalls would be empty during the summer season. Henry Delaney, who campaigned Zolock last year, expects to have that stallion's good daughter Delilah 2:164, champion pacing two-year old of 1904 in his string at Los Angeles soon. He already has the Mc- Kinney pacer Welcome Mac that won a matinee race at Los Angeles last Saturday in 209, 2:084, reference to which is made in another column in this issue. Out of the twenty-one foals older than three-year- olds Joe Patchen has sired, fifteen have taken records, including the champion Dan Patch 1:57. Old Black Joe is a sure enough success in the stud. Dr. Russell A. Walker, of Chicago, has purchased the two-year-old filly by Neernut 2:12} out of Hazel Kiuney 2:09} by McKinney. She is a very promising trotter and will be taken East and trained. An Eastern exchange states that Mr. A. B. Gwath- mey, owner of the famous trotter Tiverton 2:04}, has recently recovered from a very severe attack of rheumatism as the result of having his afflicted arm pin fired. A plague of cerebro-spinal meningitis has struck the horses of St. Louis, Mo., and several other large cities of the South and West. The disease develops very rapidly, causes convulsions and severe pain and is usually fatal. Last Monday was a clear day at Pleasanton and about a hundred horses were out on the track, some of them showing speed and others being jogged. An hour of sunshine after a heavy rain puts this famous track in shape for working horses. Prom the quality of material on hand, Charles Marvin will spring one or more surprises on the boys the coming season. Last year he won a good race with Bon Voyage, and subsequently parted with the colt for $10,000. He now has a couple of youngsters in his stable that look to be every bit as good as the son of Expedition. Mr. H. McManus, who is located at Pleasanton, writes us that there are at least 200 horses working on the track there. "Mike" says Pleasanton climate agrees with him as he has gained fifteen pounds since going there. He will have two or three horses to work next month, the result of his advertisement in the Breeder and Sportsman. The Horse Review says: Sidney 2:19|, the renowned grandsire of Lou Dillon 1:584, takes regular exercise at Oregon, 111 , and moveB more like a four-year-old than a horse twenty years older. The old hero is sound and smooth, and the light of youth shines in his eyes. He shows little indication of his age and seems to be as vigorous as ever. The pacing mare Twinkle 2:05} by Mercury 2:21 will likely be in the stable of Harrie Jones, of Rush- ville, Ind., the coming season. Harrie had the Mer- cury gelding, Kruger 2:15}, last season, and drove him a trial mile at Lexington in 2:05}, then sold him to A. McDonald in December. He thinks he will be able to retire Twinkle with a mark of 2:03 or better. Mr. G. W. Prescott, vice-president of the San Ber- nardino County Driving Club, writes us that the stock in that county is looking well at the preBent time. He has fourteen horses and colts in training and all are free from colds or influenza, and taking their work well. Mr. Prescott adds. "The North will Bee us up there in force if the young things keep up their present improvement." In the article headed "Successful Young Sire," which appeared in last week's B. and S., the name of the two-year-old trotter Athasham 2:20 was printed instead of Ambush 2:20. Athasham 2-20 is by Geo. L. Warlow's stallion Athadon 20990, while Zolock is the sire of Ambush. It is announced that D. C. Palmeter, Berlin, Wis , has decided not to allow Barongale (2:11}), the cham- pion three and four-year-old trotting colt of 1903 and 1904 respectively, to perform stud service this season, but will have him especially pointed for tho Transyl- vania next fall. The chances for the San Jose tiack to be leased for a period of ten years are not so good as they were a few days ago, and the probabilities are that negotia- tions between the parties of the first and second parts will be broken off. Ex-Governor Morgan G. Bulkeley, now United States Senator from Connecticut, has for many years been prominently identified with harness racing in- terests in the far East. He was one of the founders of the old Charter Oak Park racing plant in Hartford in the early days. I learn that C. K. G. Billings intends to visit Cali- fornia next month and that he meditates shipping over three automobiles and several of his matinee horses now at Cleveland, that he may enjoy the drives in Golden Gate Park and spin alonga little at Santa Rosa or Pleasanton. — Percy in New York Telegraph. William Hashagen, of Woodland, Yolo county, writes us that in his opinion there is no doubt but the mare Liska by Electioneer, bred at Palo Alto and now owned by Henry Cowell, will be the best produc- ing daughter of her great sire. Mr. Hashagen writes that there iB another of her get by Nutwood Wilkes now in Hi Hogoboom'a string that will be a 2:10 trot- ter. Liska is now the dam of four standard trotters' the fastest being the sensational horse Lisonjero 2:08}. Ed Geers has a two-year-old by Onward Silver 2:05}, out of Lady Geraldine 2:11}, that should prove stake material. As Geers had to do with the parents, it is to be hoped he will succeed with the royally bred youngsters. It will be recalled that he won the Bon- ner Memorial and Massachusetts stakes with Onward Silver, also the M. and M. stake, behind Lady Geraldine, in 1900. However, he did not train the Constantino marefor that event, that honor belonging to Ras Ecker. John Splan held a good sale in Chicago last month, but broodmares and young stock went for low prices. "Ready to use" speed seemed to be what the buyers were after and they paid fair prices. Button 2:13}, the mare by Gold that was campaigned on the Mon- tana circuit for the past two years and was unbeaten, brought $3200, the highest price of the sale. Irene W. 2:14} the eight-year-old chestnut pacing mare by Waldstein, sold for $300, and is now owned by Henry Jacobs of Chicago. Al McDonald of Pleasanton, who is training Mr. P. Gommet's brown two-year-old colt by McKinney re- ports that an offer of four thousand dollars was made for him last week. This colt is a trotter and reckoned by several horsemen as the best trotting propect of his age in California. His breeding is top not2h, as he is out of the yoking mare Zorilla by Dexter Prime Prince, second dam Lilly Thorn by Electioneer, third dam Lady Thorn Jr., dam of Santa Claus 2:17} by Williams Mambrino. Orville Jones of Los Angeles recently turned down an offer of $1000 for a yearling stud colt by Mr. Geo. Ford's Btallion Neernut 2:12}. It is said that Don M. by Neernut is the fastest green trotter on the Los Angeles track. He stepped the laBt quarter of that track iu 314 seconds recently and it is believed can show three heats now around 2:12. He is a full brother to Burrnut, the horse Mr. Ford has at Detroit in the hands of Frank Colby. Mr. Colby says Burrnut is the fastest snow trotter in Michigan. Mary Celeste, whose two-year-old record of 2:174 was made in 189S when she was a two-year old iB now at the age of nine years, queen of the snow path at Pearia, Illinois. She was bred by the late William Corbett at San Mateo, and is by Oro Wilkes out of Fidelia by Director, and is therefore a half sister to Alex Brown's good stallion Nushagak, sire of Aristo 2:08}. Mary Celeste is now owned by the Danforth Farm, Illinois, that also owns the California bred champion Klatawah 2:054 at three years. Few horses have been campaigned so severely dur- ing four consecutive seasons as famous Effie Powers 2:08}. Her late owner and driver, Larry Gray, is authority for the statement that during the past four seasons Efiiie Powers was started in seventy-two races, won first money in twenty-nine, second in twenty-five, third in ten and fourth in seven. She was behind the money only four times in these seventy- two races and distanced once. It will be interesting to watch the career of the foals that she produces by Dan Patch 1:56. Hazel Patch, a black gelding by Hard Patch, re- duced Mb record in 1£04 from 2:12} to 2:054, and has been trained and driven in his races by his owner, J. W. Flack of Milwaukee, who has been laughed at by other horsemen because he is what they call a "freak" trainer. He bandages the animal's legs from the body down, has placed weights on the hind as well as the forefeet of Hazel Patch, and these weights are of peculiar weight and shape. He never rubs his horses after a race and works tnem to the speed limit as soon as he commences training. Owners of stallions deserving of liberal patronage, says the Western Horseman, have failed to make pro- fitable returns on their investments by being afraid of "printer's ink." An owner may believe that he has a great horse, one that is worthy a liberal patronage, and one that would secure a creditable list of standard performers if afforded an opportunity, but unless he educates the public to a similar belief the stallion will prove a failure. The owner who causes his stallion to be talked about is the one that has started the horse toward popularity. Publicity is the only method known among men or "angels, " for that matter, that will make business good. From Kentucky comes intelligence of the death, at J. E. Clay's Marcbmont Stud, Paris, of the noted broodmare Zoraya, by Guy Wilkes 2:15}— Neluska, by Sultan 2:24, aged 19. She was the dam of the cele- brated filly Katharine A. (4) 2:11|, by Wiggins 2:19.4, recently exported to Europe, and the winner of the two-year-old Kentucky Futurity of 1902 in 2:14, the world's record for her sex and age. Secretary W. G. Preuitt of the Montana State Board of Live Stock Commissioners includes this in his official report for 1904. "The shipments of horses out of the State during the year 1904 aggiegated 37,9S4 head, all of which were inspected by stock in- spectors or sheriffs in the counties from which thev were shipped. This is a decrease over the previous year of about 20,000 head, and the range horses in Montana are being pretty thoroughly shipped out." Dave McClary's new purchase is ca led Red Pointer. He is a gelding by Star Pointer 1:59}, dam Alice M., the dam of Red Seal 2:10. In his time McClary has sold, green, Elastic Pointer 2:06}, for which he got $10,000 on showing a trial of 2:09j": Morning Star 2:04} he sold one year ago for $9000, and last August he sold the California bred tbree-year-old Rey Direct colt, Rey del Valle, for big money on showing a mile at Buffalo in 2:07}. Hs also srold Lord Revelstoke 2:12} for $13,500. Lafe Shafer, trainer for Terrace Farji, Titusville, Pa., is wintering several head at Memphis. Among the lot is the black filly Zelma by Beauseant (2.064); Zephyr (4) (2.11 by Zombro (2.11), that every one at Memphis is in love with. She is pronounced by Ed. Geers to be "one of the best and classiest two-year-old he ever saw." This filly has certainly a license to be fast as not only is her sire a sensationally fast horse, but her dam was also extremely fast and it will be remembered was the winner of that memorable heat at Hartford in 1902, when the judges claimed not to have snapped their watches and no time was hung out, but which was caught by numerous watches close to the world's four-year-old filly record. — American Hmne Breeder. Rather than not race him, Snow, who drives Lo- canda, would be willing to pit the little son of Allerton against almost any pacer, as he has supreme confi- dence in the speed and gameness of his pony, and when it comes to judging a pacer from every angle, Snow is the equal of any man. Locanda beat John M. at Syracuse last fall, taking his record of 2:03} in that race, and although John M subsequently paced to a mark below 2:03, Snow does not think he has any- thing on Locanda when the lacter is in order for a race. Locanda, by the way, is said to have been bid in at a recent Ne n Year auction. "Doc" Tanner, act- ing for Mr. Billings, bid something like $5300 for the horse, but Locanda's owner was not disposed to let him go at that price, and he stayed in Snow's stable C. H. Durfee son of C. A. Durfee went to Los Angeles last week and returned a day or two ago with the stallions Coronado 2:124 by McKinney and Peti- gru 2:104 by Kingward, son of Onward. Mr. Durfee will keep these stallions at the San Jose track during the breeding season and will also have Almaden 2:22} as a two-year-old by Direct out of Rose McKinney and Galindo, son of McKinney and the great brood mare Elsie, in the stud. Coronado which is without d oubt more like McKinney than any of his sons and Peti- gru will be in the stud at a fee of $50 each. The fee for the services of Almaden, winner of last year's Occident Stake will be S40 and Galindo will be per- mitted to serve a few mares at $30. Mr. Durfee will have the greatest quartette of trottiug-bred stallions under one management on the coast and breeders should be able to select one from them that will be the proper nick for almost any mare. Th6re is an old story that in one of the old cities of Italy the King caused a bell to be hung in a tower in one of the public squares and called it "the bell of justice." He then commanded that any one who had been wronged should go and ring the bell, and so call the magistrate of the city, and ask and receive justice. And when, in the course of time, the lower end of the bell-rope rotted away, a wild vine was tied to it to lengthen it; and one day an old and starving horse that had been abandoned by its owner and turned out to die, wandered to the tower, and, in try- ing to eat the vine, rang the bell. And the magistrate of the city, coming to see who rang the bell, found this old aDd starving horse; and he caused the owner of that horse, in whose service he had toiled and been worn out, to be summoned before him, and decreed that, as his poor horse had rung the bell of justice, he should have justice, and that during the remainder of the horse's life his owner should provide for him proper food and drink and stable. — Dumb Animals. When General Nogi an mired General Stoessel's Arab horse after the fall of Port Arthur and the Russian commander promptly presented the animal to his conqueror, the generous act increased the feel- ing of admiration which all the world has felt for the brave defender of the fortress which eight months of vigorous land siege forced him to surrender. The cable dispatches do not say that the horse wa= the general's favorite steed, nor do they tell how much use Stoessel made of him duriDg the long weeks of almost hopeless resistance. But Port Arthur's defenses extended over many miles, and theanimal undoubtedly did his part in carrying its commander from point to poir t in his daily tour of inspection. General Stoessel patted the horse's neck in farewell as he turned him over to the Japanese, showing that he bad the affec- tion which every general has for the animal that car- ries him through a campaign. General Nogi promised that the horse should receive the best of care and at- tention, and in Japan, where good horses are rare, the animal will probably become the equine hero of war. — Kentucky Stock F 6 ©*te gveebev attb gfaK>rt#mrot LFEBHUAKY 4, 1905 LOS ANGELES MATINEE.

In the dead of the calendar winter; on the twenty- eighth day of January when the telegraph is telling its frigid tales of the ice-fettered East — when horse- men beyond the Rockies are bundled up in furs taking occasional spins through the knife-sharp air in their cutters and living in hopes of the warmer months to come — when the "hot-stove circuit" is going down the "big ring" again— does it seem possible that with- in the confines of the same country in Southern Cali- fornia, a coterie of harness horse lovers and their friends could be complaining of the noonday warmth as they sat through two race miles, the one in 2:09 and the other in 2:082? Yet these things were done, and more. In the pres- ence of many Eastern reinsmen each delighted with what he saw, the Driving Club successfully brought of the greatest afternoon's spo:'ii in its history, and literally bathed itself in glory. Had two dollars ad- mission been charged and the show branded "profes- sional" none could have complained that full value re- ceived was not given. Out of a programme liberally studded with good things all worthy of note, the free-for all pace stood out. pre-eminent by virtue of the unprecedented per- formance of Ed. Delorey's brown gelding, Welcome Mack, who completely outclassed the other contest- ants for Byron Erkenbrecher's cup. Going to the half in 1 :04 after a lively pace set by Dr. Bryson's bay, Tougbnut, Delorey let his prize out a notch and suc- ceeded in setting a new track record for Agricultural Park at 2:09 — a figure that endured just half an hour before the doughty blacksmith took another fall out of his own work by establishing 2:083 as a mark for future owners of matinee pacers to shoot at. Neither Tonghnut or Bruner's promising youngster, Stanton Wilkes, had any business in that kind of a race; Wel- come Mack paced as if he were jogging along in a workout, and came through the stretch with the easy swing of a scared jackrabbit by virtue of his victory. Mr. Delorey now shares the honors of Dr. C. Bryson and W. M. Bartee, all three having two legs each on the Erkenbrecher cup. "Every heat a race" is a common expression in pool selling, but most rare in performance. Yesterday not only did the rule work toks words, but also every race was a race in fact, as well as in name; extra heats were required in two, and most of the rest were not decided until the drivers had passed the stand. J. H. Mitchel started the day by winning the new cup for the 2:30 trotters, taking the trophy with Albuquerque in straight heats. The five-handed debate for the Garland Cup proved every bit as exciting as had been predicted, and eventually resulted in a well-earned victory for William A. Clark, Jr , who signalized h'g admission to the club by winning the first race he ever drove in a matinee. All hats came off to John Reynolds after the fourth race had been driven off, for Reynolds had accom- plished a feat vouchsafed to no other man — not even Pop Henderson. He won two successive heats with Rozelle — the "pink gelding" of the programme. This sturdy, homely old gray has long borne quite a repu- tation among local horsemen as a finisher, but his consistent unsteadiness has always shut him out of serious reckoning and classed him as one of those horses which are likely to win in 2:16 and be distanced iu 2:28. Just what prescription Mr. Reynolds used on the old fellow he refused to state, but the Arabian talisman worked like Dr. Bryson's boot protectors, and Rozelle came through with the goods in a driving finish each time. The free-for-all trot bringing out Henry Berry with Briney K. and Dr. Ralph Hagan with Byron Erken brecker's pet Rita H. attracted the closest of atten- tion as it was labeled a sure enough horse race in advance. Rita was generally liked to win, and she started well by taking the first heat in 2:134 after collaring Briney and making him chuck it up in the stretch. The third leg of the Christopher Cup looked very dubious to Berry at that stage of the game, but a bad break by Rita H. at the turn in the second heat practically settled'the race as Dr. Hagan committed the fatal error of judgment of coming on and trying to win. The mare was game and made a brave bid, but it was asking too much of her, aud she was "all in" for the third heat, finishing far behind after another t 'ied break scon after the start. The 2:25 pace brought out five likely youngsters, ark horse — or to be exact, the brown mare — . A. Canfield, the man who says little but - , Touch, has unearthed a very good one in Cloe and put her first cup to her credit yesterday, defeat- ing Dr. Dodge's colt Lohengrin, Berry's Willie Jib, H. J. Myers' Gladys M. and P. B. Michel's Big Don — a quartet very well thought of by matinee enthusiasts. The novelty race was not decided until the night shift headed by "Dick" Bundrem reported for work.

[Winfield James in Kentucky Stock Farm.] Some four or five years ago the revised table given below waB wrought out and published in the Kentucky Stock Farnt,. Its object was to supply, as nearly as mathematics can do, a demonstration from turf statistics of the greatest sire of racehorse speed iu the light-harness family. As a fair measure of speed of this class, 2:25 trotting and 2:10 pacing was adopted! the two being accepted as equivalents. All sires with as many as forty in standard time, and as many as five in the faster classification, are designed to be embraced, it being necessary to fix some definite limit to keep the table in compass, and to take in only those to be counted as belonging to the greatest. The highest value of the table undoubtedly lies in the estimated per cent of race horse performers shown as coming from the total in standard time produced by the various sires included, as given in the last line. The order in which sires are given is determined by this, as indicating their relative rank as producers of race horse performers. It unquestionably would be esteemed a perfectly fair basis of comparison between sires, if all,their get frcm mares supposed capable of throwing speed could be ascertained, and the exact number put in training and developed for speed could be determined, and then balanced up in mathematical proportion. But such facts are clearly, in themajority of caseB, wholly inaccessible, and all attempts to make computations from the relative ages of sires, their years in the stud and their opportunities equally balk and defy the statistician. The one thing given, and the only that is reliable, is the official list of per- formers making records as fast as standard time, 2:30 trotting and pacing. And this, on the whole, serves very well the purposes of comparison desired, as it is a fair indication of the number any sire has produced that money and pains sufficient fairly to develop have been expended upon. While no measure at all, so far as the possession of speed for racing uses goes, the standard list serves to show very well the number actually worked to an extent worth consider- ing, and is a good starting point to reckon a sire's real speed producing ability from. And as a sire should be valued inversely according to the total number produced in throwing one capa- ble of becoming barely a 2:30 performer, so should he be valued inversely according to the number going slower than 2:15 trotting or 2:10 pacing to get one in the faster, or race horse class. It is perhaps the case that a few owners still cling to the notion that a 2:30 trotter or 2:25 pacer is fast enough, and that if their stallion can roll up enough of these each year to be heralded as "leading sire of the year" by this test, that that is glory sufficient, and so work tooth and toe-nail simply for these slow performers. But such are very few, and while they add some dead timber to the standard list of sires they own, yet they do not hinder performers of real merit sired by their horses from going on and taking credit in faster classes, and their hurrah and push serves to make sure that no one with the least chance of going fast fails for want of opportunity. So, after all, even sires with the worst padded standard lists may be accounted as hav- ing advantage sufficient in having everything worked that shows any speed at all to make up for the poor ones brought forward that can be barely squeezed and wriggled into the list. Then in the get of every sire there are some naturally of slow development that are discarded by others somewhat hastily, that these determined and persistent pushers to get a long list hold on to and eventually make something out of. Horses so handled assuredly have decided advantage over the larger class that are left entirely to scratch for themselves to get any performers, depending wholly upon outside and disinterested parties handling their get and making their credits for them. A large band of choice mares in a home harem, a heavy purse to pay all bills with, and a princely driver to handle the reins of every foal count for not a little, though, for some reason, some of the foremost sires in this table won their places without having had these ad ventitious circumstances to aid them. It is worthy special remark, and speaks for the soundness of the principle on which the proportion basis is rested, that though many of the sires con- tained in it have increased their numbers largely their per cent in the faster classification has remained about the same, and their relative position little altered. McKinney 2:11}, who headed the first table with then only thirty in standard time, and a per cent of 33:3 of the fastest order, has maintained his posi- tion each year in the lead, with, at the close of 1904, a total of sixty-five performers, and a per cent of 44.6 of fast ones. Baron Wilkes 2:18, at that time second in rank, with a total of ninety-two and a per cent of 22.5, holds third place now with a list of 120 and a per cent of 20.8 fast ores, the good young sire Prodigal 2:16 having supplanted him with fifty in all and a per cent of 22. Patron 2:14} also has come forward fcr a place, as aiso have Anderson Wilkes 2:22} and Direct 2:05$ not then entitled to a place. Chimes, Mambrino King and Simmons have increased their proportion of fast ones and gone up in rank, as have many others less conspicuously. The youngest sire at preEent em- braced is Expedition 2:15} at fifteen years of age, with a list of forty-four and a per cent of 15 9, with next McKinney 2:11} and Bow Bells 2.19}, both aged seven- t = en, the ages given at the close of last season's work, 1904. It is, probably on the whole, a little severer test to maintain the higher per cent when the number of performers has increased, though McKinney has each year advanced his proportion with his growing list and as Chimes and some others, and the holders of big numbers, like Onward, Red Wilkes, Alcantara and Gambetta Wilkes, have held their own and more. • There is stronger argument that there has been a decided advance through the years of race horse speed, in the family, than any attempts at comparison with a Maud S. 2:08} performance can furnish, and the showing made by leading sires is most assuring. The horse has still to appear, of course, that will pro- duce a king-pin performer in every foal, but when a horse gets twenty-nine of Grand Circuit calibre out of sixty-five trained to go in racing classes, as did Mc- Kinney, breeders and developers are not going to break up handling them. And while he is the highest blossom on the topmost bough, the tree is rapidly ad- vancing and there are others coming on that may be- fore hardly realized be close up, or beside him. The results are just coming to realization of the richer breeding, and the more rigid selections made in these later years. > H ^ H t- TI p" a a 05 GO £* NAMES AND RECORDS JO to B is o EC "3 CD CO & Q ** a Q- gB CD CO McKinney 2:11^ Prodigal 2:16 Baron Wilkes 2:18 Patron 2:14M Chimes Anderson Wilkes2:22jtf.

I'm Joe is probably the smallest galloper that ever appeared before our race, goers, being considerably under fifteen haDds in height and weighing something like 800 pounds. He is the first of the get of Joe Terry to race, and as there are a number of promising youngsters by the Flambeau horse around Woodland, it is more than probable that T. P. Schwartz has in him a very high- class sire. Joe Terry is a half-brother to the most successful stallion, imp. Brutus, both being from imp. Teardrop by Scottish Chief. Terry is by Flambeau (son of Wildidle and imp. Flirt, by the Derby-winner Hermit), therefore bred on the most fashionable lines. Brutus was sired by McGregor, winner of the Two Thousand Guineas. Of the two I most fancy the breeding of Joe Terry. I'm Joe is an equine toper, being as used to his morning "horn" as any member of the human family, and he will take his whisky either from a tablespoon or from a bottle, but it must be forthcoming or there is trouble in the Schwartz barn. Perhaps this love of "booze" has stunted I'm Joe's growth, but at any rate it hasn't affected either his speed or stoutness of heart. the big race. W. R. Condon, with 111 lbs. looks to have a chance. Dainty has been declared it is under- stood, also Schoolmate, who has been going great guns at Los Angeles. Horatius has a chance with 109 lbs. up, for he ran a remarkable race in the Ascot Handicap the other day, winding up a good third after being twelfth at the half-mile ground. Ralph H. Tozer Greenock's win of last Wednesday was most satis. factory to his owner, James Woods, who will now probably retire the grand old racer to the stud, where I predict he will make a great name for himself. He is a magnificent individual, a rich brown in color, and has won close to forty races in his day. Greenock is one of the very few Bramble horses on this Coast, Abalanzar being the only other one that I can call to mind. TheBtud success of Ben Brush, son of Bramble, has been phenomenal, and he is bred much as is Greenock. The latter won several stakes in the far East and Middle West in the colors of John F. Schorr, of Memphis, and last season at Los Angeles, Greenock defeated some of the best horses at Los Angeles and ran a number of very creditable races at nearly all distances. The turf situation in the Middle West and South has taken a curious turn. It now looks as if there would be no war; that the Western Jockey Club would take the "outlaw" ban off all the men and horses that participated at Union Park, St. Louis, and let horsemen go into either the American Jockey Club fold or race with them, as they see fit to do. Capt. P. J. Carmody of Union track, declares the Corrigan side (the American Jockey Club) holds the whip hand, and that the Western Jockey Club will aoon be but an unpleasant memory. Advices from St. Louis are to the effect that the Captain and his friends would have gone to $150,000 for the track if forced to do so, and when they secured the plant for $70,000 there was a regular wine feast at Carmody's place on Eighth street. The proposed repeal of the breeders' law in Missouri makes the Cella-Adler-Tilles crowd quake in their boots, but Capt Carmody says he has no doubt but that there will be racing in the Mound City under some sort of law. I believe the new law will curtail racing to thirty days per year over any particular track. The latest news from St. Louis is to the effect that Phil Chew is anxious to turn Kinloch Park over to the Carmody forces, and this would in- dicate there is a feeling among the "Magnates" in Missouri that the racing cloud has no silver lining. Mr. Chew has been identified with Cella, Adler and Tilles up to this time, and his change of heart might mean that he was desirous of "getting even" for some wrong or was still identified with the Mafia and de- sired to sell a gold brick to Capt. Carmody and his confreres. A meeting of the American Jockey Club is called for February 4th in the Monadnock building, Chicago, at which time officers will be elected and the adoption of laws governing the new body come up for passage. James Blute brought these horses up from Ascot Park on the 25th of January to race at Emeryville and these were Sais, Tramoter and Cincinnatus. Up to Thursday of this week, Sais had started four times, winning twice and being Becond the same number of times. Tramoter's record was three starts running respectively third, second and first. Cincinnatus ran four times, winning once. If all horses ran as con- sistently as those of Mr. Blute there would be few bookmakers left to operate at local tracks. From Los Angeles. The meeting here is now just half finished and up to date has been an unqualified success; never before in the history of winter racing in California has there been such an exceptionally good lot of horses brought together nor have the horses run closer to form than they have this season at Ascot Park. The result of this has been very disatrous to the bookmakers and several bank rolls have faded away to nothing. Many bookmakers have laid off from time to time and again tried their luck but always with the same result and it is a matter of record that no book now doing busi- ness in the ring is winner to any extent worth mention- ing. Morris McKight, who has been assistant to Starter Dick Dwjer for several years, will do the starting at the Oaklawn track at Hot Springs. Before leaving the Ascot Park track the jockeys and trainers presented him with a handsome diamond horseshoe scarf pin. Last Saturday the Ascot Handicap, the richest stake of the meeting, was run off and the race was worth going miles to see. The field that went to the barrier was without doubt the classiest bunch that ever breasted the tape on this side of the continent. The McLaughlin stable consisting of Oxford and Pasadena was installed favorite at twos and remained at those odds throughout, notwithstanding the heavy eighty-pound boy now riding here, is the greatest turf find of the season and the most promising rider in America." "McDaniel, " he said recently to a friend, "reminds me of Danny Maher, he crouches far up on a horse's withers and has good control of his horse's head. He seldom, if ever, uses his whip and this is a good trait in a youngster as they are inclined to use the whip too freely. He is alert at the post and in a finish hasoften made Hilderbrand, the leading jockey, of last season look like a novice. I have an option on a two-year-old contract with Pudden's father."

Herrlck.] Portland, Jan. 25, 1905— Work on the grounds and buildings of the Lewis A Clark Exposition, which will be held at Portland, Oregon, this summer, opening June 1 and closing October 15, is progress- ing rapidly. Eight exhibit buildings have been completed and the installation ol exhibits begun, while the remaining structures are nearing the stage where the finishing touches w:il be applied. The mild Oregon winter has permitted the work to progress without an interrup- tion and when the President presses the button on opening day everything will be ready and waiting — something unusual in expositions. Not only are the buildings far advanced, but the landscape picture also. The grass is green and roses bloom in the open air all the year round in Portland. Thousands of rose bushes have been set out on the lawns and terraces and these, Kept fresh by the winter rains— Oregon knows no frost biteB or sun strokes — are awaiting the spring sunshine to bring forth a riot of color. The Lewis & Clark Exposition although not so large as other expositions, will be a world's fair in every sense, reflecting the progress of all participating nations, and particularly of Western America. It will be quite unlike its predecessors in that it will combine with its broad scope the idea of compactness without crowding in the laying out of the grounds and the housing of the exhibits. There will be no dreariness of architecture to tire the eye, no miles of aisles to weary the limbs. All will he perfection, or at least the nearest thereto ever achieved by an ex- position. The Centennial, which is the first in- ternational exposition ever held under the patronage of the United StateB Gov- ernment west of the Rocky Mountains, will celebrate the 100th anniversity of the exploration of the Oregon Country by an expedition commanded by Captains Meri- wether Lewis and William Clark, and planned by President Jefferson. The sentiment which inspires the people of the Pacific Northwest in the preparation of tl-is exposition is one in which every American must share. The result of this expedition is one in which every American must share. The result of this expedition the acquisition of the great Oregon Country by right of discovery, extended our frontier to the Pacific Ocean, adding a vast and rich territory to our domain. It was one of the direct causes of the ac- quisition of California and the subse- quent acquisitions of Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines are related to it.

Nestling at the baBe of the foothills of the Cascade Range, on the gentle slopes and terraces overlooking the Williamette river, with an unobstructed view of 65 miles which embraces the snow-capped peak of Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helena. The sight presents a picture entirely original in exposition building. Of the groBB area of the Bite, 180 acres are on the mainland and 60 acres form a peninsula extending out from Guild's Lake, a fresh water body 220 acres in ex- tent and the largest mere ever enclosed within an exposition fence, which is sep- arated from the Williamette river by a narrow strip of land. The exposition grounds are made up of hill and dale, and in one portion a natural park of trees and shrubs affords an opportunity for land- scape work of a most attractive character. In the arrangement of the buildingB thorough consideration has been given to the convenience of visitorB and the attain ment of a rich and beautiful architect- ural effect. The main group of exhibit palaces consisting of eight structures, oc- cupies the ground bordering on the lake, and forms nearly a straight line with their short sides facing the water. Around these structures on the outer edge, cluster the state, territorial and other minor pavilions. The administration building in which the executive offices of the Fair are located, standB at one end of the ornate colonnade entrance, the main gate- way to the grounds. On the peninsula in the center of Guild's Lake is located the United States Govern- ment displav. Here an imposing Govern- ment building with two towers each 260 feet high, is in course of construction. Besides the main building there are several minor structures, among them being the Forestry, Fisheries und Irriga- tion pavilions and the Life Saving Station. All the main exposition structures are in the Btyle of the Spanish Renaissance except the Forestry building which is a true American type, being constructed of huge logs in their virgin state, thus ex- emplifying in itB composition the timber resources of the Columbia river region. The structure is 200 feet in length by 102 feet in width and itB extreme height is 70 feet. In itB construction two miles of five and six foot fir logs, eight miles of poles and tons of shakes and cedar shingleB were used. The central features of the Exposition are Columbia Court and Lakeview Terrace These two spots have been made the object of elaborate embellishment. The former is situated between the Agriculture and the European exhibits buildings and consists of two wide avenues, between which are spacious Bunken gardens. Lakeview Terrace is located on the slop- ing ground leading down to the lake and here is the Grand Stairway, flanked on either side with flower beds and beautiful lawns. The "Trail," which is the gaiety boule- vard of the Centennial, corresponding to the Pike at St. Louis and the midways of other expositions has an entirely original environment for this feature of a world'B fair. It is situated upon an ornate bridge which spans the lake and connects the mainland with the peninsula. With the unrivaled water facilities thus offered much attention will be directed to con- cessions for aquatic features. The railroads have made exceptionally low rates to Portland from the WeBtern World'B Fair and many people in the East and Middle West are expected to take advantage of them to see the great Pacific Northwest.

In fact, here ie done the dairy work of the farm. With an arrangement of this kind and a good thermometer the cream should be kept without difficulty from forty-eight to seventy-two hours in the hottest weather. Such a building" costs but little and the convenience of having a place for the milk, cream and dairy utensils is in itself enough to justify the expense of building it. As a matter of fact, the farmer who is going to get the best price for his cream will have to provide himself with a place to keep it cool until it can be delivered to the Btation. Keep it just as cool as is possible without freezing up to the time it is delivered. There are some points besides the im- mediate cooling and holding at a cool temperature that must be observed in order to insure good cream. The different skimmings of cream should never be mixed until both are of the same tem- perature. The cream when cooled down keeps fairly well, but if some warm cream should be mixed with it the temperature will be raised. At once the germ life be- comes more active, and souring takes place very quickly. No vegetables or other produce having strong odors should be kept in the same room with the cream. It takes such odors very readily and re- tains them tenaciously. In fact, keep the milk room for milk and nothing else and, above all, have plenty of windows to admit sunshine when wanted and use plenty of "elbow grease" in keeping it sweet and clean. In many instances all the good work done is entirely spoiled because the cream is not cared for in delivery. The writer has observed many thousand cans in proceBB of delivery, and in nearly 99 per cent of them the work was done in such a manner as to damage the cream. For some reason, probably through lack of better information on tbe part of the person delivering the cream and also on the part of tbe man receiving it, the cream was handled as though no damage could come to it after it was taken away from the farm. It mattered not whether the heat of the summer's sun or the cold blast of the winter's storm was on, the can of cream was exposed to it all. With- draw the lid of a can of cream that has been expose to the heat for one or more hourB, and the first whiff is a sour one. The cream will be found to be several degrees warmer than when taken from the water tank at the farm. It iB a Bimple thing to cover the cream can with a wet sack or blanket and throw over this a dry one, which will effectually stop the mischief. With this precaution the cream will arrive at the station as cool as when taken from the farm. The same precaution, except that the blanket should be kept dry, is a sure protection against freezing in winter. An ointment of one part kerosene and two parts of lard is recommended by some breeders for Bcaly leg. Coops containing broods of chicks should be moved frequently. Poor or musty grain isn't the cheapest for poultry even though it coBts leBS than the other kind. Too much poultry iB hard to get on a farm where there is plenty of open range. o The best incubator made won't run itself. Any standard breed of poultry is good if you like it. Sponges. S.

Several years ago a man of my acquaint- ance decided to go into the dairy business quite extensively and took a novel way of getting a herd of good milch cows It is often said, you know, that it is impossible to buy a good cow. He went to eveiy auction sale held within fifty miles of his home and found out from the owner which were the best cows in his herd. Then, when they were sold, he was prepared to bid a trifle higher than aDy other man and thus secure the best cow or cows. Within a short time he got a herd of forty cows that were the best in the entire community, judging from the amount of milk which they gave. Another way, although not quite as rapid, is to purchase at an auction sale the calves and yearling heifers and take the chances that such calves are from the best cows. In a few years a herd of splendid cows may be built up and the expense will not be excessive. Within the last ten years or so experiments have been carried on at the different stations to determine the coBt of keeping a milk cow for a year and it has varied all the way from $30 to $60. It all depends on bow the figures were kept and whether the price of the hired help was figured into the account In one experiment it was claimed that butter could be made as low as eight cents a pound. This was one of the caBes where the manure was taken for the help's pay and the price of mak- ing the butter was left out entirely. This should have been added certainly and would have made it from two to four cents a pound higher at least I never knew of but one instance where a man tried the experiment of buying everything at the market price of feed and selling his butter at the prevailing butter prices and he found it impossible to make any money at the business and butter was never as low as eightcents a pound either. But one icicle does not make a winter in thiB country and one experiment does not prove much, especially with a cow and if there was as large a margin of profit in dairying as Borne of theBe experiment stations claim it would seem aB if there would be plenty of people who would go into the business even if they did have to buy everything they fed their cows at market prices and take the prevailing rate fo butter. The facts are that aa few if any people practice this method it proves most conclusively that a great many of these experiments have little value attached to them. But here is an example of the highest excellence in dairy farming which I be lieve will hold true every time and that iB that at the present so many men with plenty of money are engaged in the dairy business that if a dairyman, large or small, is only possessed of the ability to raise a herd of dairy cows of high excel lence he will have no trouble in selling the calves from these cows for far more money than he will be able to obtain for the butter these cows will make during a year and not only sell them for higher priceB, but will in a great many cases be able to sell the calveB in advance of their birth. If there is any other industry where ability is better remunerated than the dairy business I have failed to dis- cover it as yet. — A. C. Stiles in Field and Fancy. If you are "trading" your farm male butter at the grocery store for coffee, sugar and tobacco, you are encouraging the manufacture of "renovated" or "process" butter, which you pretend to despise and hold up as a thorn in the path of dairy butter. Don't encourage the industry by making butter of such a grade that the only demand and market for it is at your grocers. If you can't make a grade of butter that you can con- tract in advance to the consumer, you had better read up a little more on dairy- ing and subscribe for a few dairy papers.

O.Cal ZOMBRO 2:11 Geo. T. Beckers, University, Cal THE AMERICAN THOROUGHBRED, Capt. Tom Merry '8 book, is out, and we acknowledge receipt of a copy. No writer on thoroughbred topics has had so many readers during the past thirty years as "Hidalgo," (Capt. Merry's nom-de-plume), and the bare statement of the fact that he has compiled and published a work in his 70th year that contains mat- ter that he has not heretofore given to the public, written in that entertaining conversational style that has made him 80 popular, should induce levery person interested in the breeding of the thoroughbred horse to secure a copy at once. As the author says in his preface, "the book is written for tbe perusal of plain men; it deals with plain and stubborn facts; and for that reason is couched in the plainest language possible." And this is what makes the work valuable and will doubt- less lead to a large Bale. It contains chapters on the origin of the thoroughbred, the three cardinal lines of Herod, Matchem and Eclipse, the British, the American, the Austro-Hungarian and the Australian thoroughbreds. There arechapters also on theBruce Lowe figure system of breeding, converse in-breeding, two-year old racing, selling races, spurious pedigrees, and a heart-to-heart talk with breeders that should be read by every owner of a thoroughbred mare, and which is worth the price of the whole book. Capt. Merry is a man of original ideas. As a student of thoroughbred breeding for the past forty y ears, l.e has heard all sorts of theories ana witnessed all sorts of experiments. He has been a close observer and being one of those broad-minded men who can follow truth where'er it leads, is now able to "sift the grain from the chaff" and "hold fast to that which is good." No man of his years has a brighter or more active mind, and this last work of his ever busy pen is its best. The book is handsomely printed and bound, and is for sale at $5 per copy. WOODLAND STOCK FARM presents the adver- tisements of it 3 two stallions Nushagak and Prince Ansel in our business columns this week and the statements therein made, which are true in every particular, tell the facts about these two stallions more concisely and better than can be told in the average newspaper article. The picture of Nushagak which appears on our front page this issue is an excel- lent likeness of this young sire whose get are becom- ing very popular with breeders who desire race- horse qualities in their colts. Mr. Alex Brown who purchased the Woodland race track last year and has established thereon the Woodland Stoci Farm, is one of the leading harness horse breeders of California and an enterprising and progressive citizen who has already made many improvements on his new prop, erty and will make many more. One of the big meet- ings on the circuit will be held at the Woodland track this year and visitors will have a chance to see for themselves what a splendid breeding farm Mr. Brown has established near tbe shire town of Yolo county. 'THE PROOF POSITIVE that horse values so far as the light harness breed is concerned, are not falling off any, is the record of the Fasig-Tipton Mid- winter sale which closed at New York last Friday. More than a quarter of a million dollars was realized from the five days' sale. In all 576 head of horses was disposed of, bringing a grand total of $254,560. This exceeds in value all previous midwinter sales, the best former midwinter sale being the one in 1902i when $222,255 was realized. The average price per head during the recent sale was 1442. The chief at- traction of the sale was the big consignment from Village Farm, the greatest breeding farm ever estab- lished and which has now become a thing of the past' owing to the extreme old age and disability of itB founder, Mr. Cicero Hamlin, who is without doubt the most successful of all trotting horse breeders. The 153 trott'ng bred horses consigned by this farm to the sale brought a total of $127,660, an average of $834.39 per head. A PROGRAM of the purses and races to be offered **• this year by the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association for its regular meeting is being prepared and will be published soon. If it is necessary to complete the California circuit, tbe Breeders Asso- ciation will give an extra meeting as it did last year, but it is to be hoped that there will be local meetingB sufficient to make a circuit of racing without this. Pleasanton will give a good meeting and Santa Rosa and Woodland will be in line. This with the Breeders meeting will give four weeks of racing for good purses and the probability is that three or four additional towns will come in the circuit. If the State Agri- eultur il Society gets its appropriation from the Legis- lature it will hold a fair and race meeting, but other- wise some arrangements will have to be made to trot the Occident and Stanford Stakes o' 1905 elsewhere. THE twenty-second report of the Agricultural Ex- * periment Station of the University of California has been received It contains interesting reporls from all the staff of the Experiment Station, which are most interesting.

Mr. Jerry Doran, the well known hay, grain and coal dealer, whose place of business is at the corner of Market street and San Pablo avenue in Oakland, wants to trade a quarter section of land for a good youDg horse. This 160 acres is rolling land, situated on a good county road, nine miles from the railroad station of San Miguel in Monterey county. He ex- pects to harvest two tons of hay to the acre from 125 acres of It this Eeason and tbe land is probably worth $2000. Mr. Doran says he naturally wants to get a good horse for this land, and that he prefers a well bred McKinney. There are no improvements on the land, not even a fence, but the most of it is tillable. Among the bunch of Axworthy youngsters that Millard Sanders has at Memphis is mentioned Bale Axworthy, who is out of the dam of Laurel's (2.13), etc., that can step to beat the band. Another lively youngster by Axworthy is the one out of Octavia (2.184), the well-known Baron Wilkes mare that raced around here a number of years past. This one is a filly and is called Octavia Worthy. She has been nice-named Dromey Worthy from the fact that Bhe has a back that somewhat resembles a camel's back. Some one was poking fun at her when Millard Sand- ers remarked that she was likely to make some of them hump when shegot to the races. — Horse Breeder. Tbe boarding, training and handling stable which J. W. Zibbell & Son have recently opened on 11th avenue, near the Chutes, is being well patronized, Messrs. Zibbell desire to purchase several good prospects for the circuit this year. They want pro- spective 2:15 trotters and 2:10 paceis, and will pay reasonable prices for horses that fill the bill.

William Clakk, Medford, Oregon— Princess Dex- ter, registered page 679, volumo 13, American Trot- ting Register, is by Dexter Prince 11363, dam Wilkes Queen by Mambrino Wilkes 6083, second dam Lady Stone by David Hill 857, third dam Madame by Jack Hawkins. Princess Dexter was bred by L D. Wake- field of Lodi, Cal., and sold with her dam, to the late Dr. H. Latham of Oakland. Princess Dexter waB sold by Dr. Latham prior to 1895, to Thos. S. Harrison of Pomfret, Conn. We do not know whether Mr. Harri. son still owns her, nor who owns Wilkes Queen. If living the latter is twenty-four years old. Constant Reader, Sacramento— No one can advise you intelligently without seeing your colt. A long distance diagnosis of any case is of little value. Better pay some reputable trainer to handle the colt for a while if you do not know why he is n ot good gtited. J. J. McGRATH, Marysville— Consult your local merchant in regard to buying a Babcock tester. They cost all the way from $5 up. Any person of average intelligence can use them. The two members of the Gentleman's Driving Club of Cleveland, H. K. Devereux and C. K. G. Billings, have fallen so deeply in love with trotting to saddle that this branch of the sport will be a feature of the matinee racing at Cleveland next summer, says an ex- change. At a recent meeting of the club these men set forth the healthful and pleasurable advantage of riding trotters so strongly that it is reported that twenty members pledged themselves to secure a fast trotter to be used in saddle races. The horses will be turned over to the club and will be trained and kept in condition for racing. Saddle races will appear on each matinee program, and such members ae desire to ride in them will draw for horses, the drawing to be confined to the twenty horses to be purchased for the saddle racing. There is no doubt but that this movement on the part of the Cleveland amateurs will do much to make saddle trotting popular, in an ama- teur sense, but it will probably not have much effect in the professional field Seventeen of the new standard performers of 1904 were out of Nutwood mares, a greater number than are credited to the daughters of any otter stallion. The Nutwood cross is a valuable one and as the years go by it is becoming more and more valuable. Nut- wood's grand-dam was the thoroughbred mare, Sally Russell by Boston and delvers into statistics have found that thoroughbred mares have founded some of our best trotting and pacirg families. Among the nominations on which second payment was made on the 1st of February was the mare AI- fretta owned by Mr. C. F. White of Cosmopoli--, Wash. This mare is a full sister to Chainshot 2:06S being by Red Heart out of Pique, dam of four in the list. Algretta is now at Walnut Hill Farm in Ken- tucky, where she was bred to Moko last year and is with foal. Revolutionary riots and enormous expenditures to carry on the war with Japan are reported to have caused the abandonment of harness racing in Russia. Several well-known American trainers will be sufferers if the rumors are true. Frank Starr and Frank Caton are among the prominent Yankee drivers under en- gagement in the land of the Tsar. The Eastern Associations are all claiming dates for harness meetings, and they occupy a half page in the last issue of theChicagc Horseman. The North Pacific Circuit has fixed its dates, but California has thus far claimed no dates. Isn't it time that a date or tuo was being claimed in this State? John Payne's Enoch 2:12J defeated A. J. McClure's Prince A. 2:12} in a match on the ice at Albany a few days ago. Enoch is by Sidmoor and was formerly owned by the Meek Estate. "Save-the-Horse, " is doubtless the most popular veterinary remedy ever introduced in this State- Many owners say it does everything that is promised. E. E.

Cite gvee&ev axtii gfcpxrrtsman [February 11, 1905 CRIPPEN'S CHRONICLES. ff One day in December, 1SS5, while HviDg in my Dative town in Ashtabula county. Ohio, I met "Jim" Herriek, a neighbor and boyhood friend, and we at once started a conversation on our favorite subject, "horse." "Jim" was a big boy and I was a little boy, and I had always looked upon him as a leading authority on horses. When he grew to manhood he developed into a pretty shifty all-round horseman and about the slickest trader J ever knew. I did not know much about horses myself except their pedi- grees, and I had them down "pat." At the time I am writing about I had the history, breeding and performance of every noted trottiDg or pacing horse, sire or dam in America "on tap, "from imp Messenger down, and was ready to "spread" it at the slightest provocation. I had a great reverence for the wonderful sire Blue Bull 75, the horse that was then the champion sire of the world, and when "Jim" told me that day that he knew of a son of the old horse that was for sale I got intensely interested. The horse that he referred to was owned by Sidney Love & Son, of Mecca, Trumbull county, Ohio. I had never seen him, but immediately made up my mind that I would the very next day. Upon arisiDg next morning, I found that much snow had fallen during the Dight, that it was still blowing and snowing and that my proposed trip would be anything but a pleas- ure ride. Nevertheless, I hitched up and started for Mecca, fifteen miles distant, as I was impatient to see the son of the once-despised plebian pacer who had surpassed the aristocratic and popular Rysdyk's Hambletonian as a sire of trotters. I made slow progress through the snow drifts till I had gone about three miles, when I realized that it would be impossible for me to reach my destination and return the same day, so I turned around and went back home, postponing my trip till the roads got in better shape. A few days later I started under more favor- able conditions, saw the horse, liked him, and traded for him and he was delivered to me next day. At that time he was about twelve or fourteen years old, had been used as a "cross roads stud" serving a cheap lot of common farm mares at a very low fee, and none of his colts had ever been trained. His pedigree as given me was as follows: Sired by Blue Bull 75, first dam by Tom Hal 3000, second dam by Bertrand, thoroughbred, and bred by Francis Cline, of Rush- ville, Ind., a neighbor of James Wilson, owner of old Blue Bull. He was a beautiful dark chestnut about 15.3; strip in the face; both hind ankles white; round closely-ribbed body; strong back; smooth, finely- turned rump and powerful quarters; with the best of feet and legs absolutely souDd; small ears; large, full, mildly expressive hazel eyes; head, a trifle large and slightly beefy about the jowls, well set on a strong, beautifully crested neck of good length; mane and tail not heavy but fine as silk, and coat like satin summer and winter. The hair on his fetlocks no loDger than on his back. Never trained for speed, he had a fine open trotting gait, never showing any in- clination to pace; had the sweetest disposition and most intelligence of any stallion I ever knew. In the early eighties there moved from Indiana to north-eastern Ohio, a man by the name of Wolfe who purchased a tract of land in the norih-eastern part of Trumbull County with the view of starting a stock farm. He brought with him several mares, among them a mare called Punch, full sister to Ella Willson, 2:30 by Blue Bull 75. After he had been in Ohio a short lime he heard of "Love's Blue Bull" as Blue Boy was then commonly known. After Beeing the borse, he sent his Blue Bull mare to be bred to him. Before the mire foaled, Mr. Wolfe caught the gland- ers from an infected bronco and died. His widow settled up his estate and the stock was all sold at public auction. As there was do one who knew their breeding they were sold without their pedigrees be- ing given, and had it not been that the Blue Bull mare bad been bred to Blue Boy and her name and pedigree given, her identity would have been lost. She was bought by a carpenter living in Bloomfield, Trumbull Co , whose name I have forgotten- When her filly by Blue Boy was two years old, he sold her to a young man . living in the same towa (whose oame I have also forgotten). She was 3 yearB old in 1886 when I first saw her and as I owned her eire and because she was such afinefillyandin bred to the greatest sire of trotters in the world, I was very anxious to own her. I bad more borse6 than money and offered to trade a handsome young mare worth more than 8300 for her even up, but her owner wanted boot. Not loDg after a friend of mind named Smith ■-oveacheap scrub mare over to Bloomfield re her and fifty dollars to boot for the filly I afterwards called Blue Bell. The young man got the " boot and I guess thought he had made a good trade as horses all looked alike to him. He knew nothing of the filly's breeding and I don't suppose he even knew that horses had such a thing as a pedigree. This filly was a beautiful thing at that time, a bright bay, no white, about 15 hands, stout and well made in every respect with a lot of finish. She looked like a pacer and was a pacer of the purest kind and had she been developed, she would without a doubt, have acquired a very fast record. I worked her a a little as a four-year-old and she could fly. I had long had a desire to come to California. I wanted to see the far-famed Palo Alto Stock Farm, the home of the great Electioneer and his record breaking sons and daughters that were then electrifying the world with their wonderful speed. I wanted to know how they were developed, so in the early part of 1888 I came to California and in course of time, became coDDected with the home of the Electioneers and had the pleas- ure of handling and training many future trotting stars bred in that once famous nursery of early speed. The years rolled by. I read in the papers about the fast and game pacing mare called Fanny Dillard and also a sensational pacing stallion named Hal B. The latter raced consistently two or three years on the half-mile tracks in northern Ohio and eastern Penn- sylvania and in 1899 swept through the Grand Circuit without losing a race, winning nearly 815,000 and a record of 2:04}. In 1903 his full sister, Fanny Dillard, acquired the world's race record for pacing mares 2:03|. These two great pacers were sired by Hal Dil- lard 2:04|, the great son of Brown Hal 2:12}, and their dam is the inbred Blue Bull mare now known as Ellen M., that I used to call Blue Bell. Hal B. is in California making the season till May 15 at Los Angeles. He is one of the best race horses ever foaled; is the fastest pacing bred stallion and with one exception the fastest stallion that ever stood in California. HeiB the best representative of the great pacing race horse Hal family west of the Mis- sissippi river. In his veins flow three crosses of the Hal blood and his dam is a double grandaughter of the greatest sire, all things considered, that ever lived, Blue Bull 75. A fast pacer in his day when pacers were unpopular, for years a teaser to a jack in a mule raising community, serving mares occasionally for $5 or nothing, under the most adverse conditions imaginable, hy sheer merit and individual greatness that would not down, Blue Bull forced his way to the front till he became the champion sire of the world. It was not till he was ready to die that he was con- sidered worthy to serve a well bred mare, consequently about 50 of his 60 trotters and 8 pacers were out of mares of uuknowD breeding, or not known to carry any trotting blood. All of their records were made in races. Not one dollar was ever spent bv anyone in developing the get of that wonderful horEe for the purpose of 'making a reputation for him as a sire. What would have been the fate of McKinney, Elec- tioneer, Nutwood or any other great sire if they had occupied the position held by the "Hero of Flat Rock." In my opinion, great as they are and where, they wouJd never have been heard of. It is through his daughters that his power to produce speed has been transmited. A few years ago he gained the dis- tinction of being the greatest broodmare sire and to- day is near the top in that respect, not only in the 2:30 list but also the 2:15 and 2:10 list. Only three sires excel him in each of these faster classes. The breeders of California now have an opportunity of securing a most valuable out cross by sending their mares to the great Hal — Blue Bull stallion now at Los Angeles and I believe maoy of them will appreciate and improve the golden opportunity of securing the blood that was first to cross the two minute line and the blood that was strong enough to rise out of the lowest depths and gain the crown of the champion Bire of his day. C. C. C. Palo Alto Stallions. ifame, his reputation as a sire was so well established that his services were in demand. It has been said that Mendocino is more like his sire than any other son of that great progenitor of speed. His foals are all of good size, are fine lookers with bold and pure- trotting gaits. In Idolita 2:09^ he sired a great race trotter, and a horse that is destined to be a great sire. In Monte Carlo 2:01\ he got one of the best Grand Circuit trotters ever campaigned. Monte Carlo holds the record, 2:07J for the fastest seventh heat ever trotted and is the winner of the fastest seven heat race. Mendocino's dam is the great brood mare Mano by Piedmont, second dam Mamie also a great brood mare hy Hambletomain Jr., third dam, the thoroughbred mare Gilda by imported Mango. The get of Mendocino are noted for being universally strong, healthy and vigorous, with excellent consti- tutions. McKena 39460 is a son of the great McKinney, out of that very fast trotting mare Helena 2:11 J (that has produced Wild Nutling 2:111, Dobbel 2:22 and Hyita trial 2:12") by Electioneer, second dam the great brood mare Lady Ellen, dam of six in the list, by Carr's Mambrino, sire of the dam of Sweet Marie 2:04|, third dam by Owen Dale and fourth dam by Williamson's Belmont. McKena is over sixteen hands high and weighs 1350 pounds. He will be five years old in April. McKena was bred to fifteen mares last year and fourteen of them are in foal. He is one of the grandest looking MeKinneys ever foaled and a better bred one would be very hard to find. As his service fee will be only $35 he should receive a very large patronage. Although the great Palo Alto Stock Farm is a thing of the past so far aB breeding for the market is con- cerned, there remains there two stallions and they will stand for public service this year. The two stallions are Mendocino 2:19} as a three-year-old, by Electioneer, and McKena 39.460 by McKinney. Mendocino as is well-known to nearly all California breeders, is one of Electioneer's youngest and best sons. A6 a young trotter he was most promising, trotting to a three-year-old record of 2:19} and work- ing miles below that by several seconds. A severe case of distemper stopped his training, however, and and left him so Bcarred that his sale was out of the question. He was leased to the late John Boggs of Colusa for a time and served a few outside mares while in Colu6a County. He was returned to Palo Alto and when Idolita 2:09J or Monte Carlo 2:07J acquired Stam B. 2:11 1-4 at Pleasanton. A fast record, good looks, choice breeding, fine style, good action and gameness are qualities found in Stam B. 2:111, who was not only one of the best colt trotters ever bred in Colifornia, but one of the fastest and gamest of race horses, and a stallion that is mak- ing a record as a sire that is bound to place him in the very front rank. Stam B.'s record as a race horse is known to all Californians. He raced against the very best on the Coast and beat nearly ever horse th'at beat him. His record of 2:11| is not within five sec- onds of his capabilities had he continued to be raced. His sire Stamboul was the fastest trotting stallion of his day, His dam Belle Medium had a trotting rec- ord of 2:20 and in addition to producing Stam B. 2:11 J, produced Dictatus Medium, a producing stallion that has made an authenticated trial of 2:11, and also of Ajalon, another pi oducing sire. Belle Medium is by Happy Medium, sire of Nancy Hanks 2:04 and also grandsire of the dam Lou Dillion 1:58} The second dam of Stam B. is by Almont Lightning, sire of Zam- bro's dam, the next dam is by Mambrino Patchen and the next by Mambrino Chief. So far as breeding is concerned, there is no better bred stallion than Stam B. In the stud Stam B. has not had the best of oppor. tunities as it is only in the last two or three years that he has made any but the most limited seasons. Very few of his get have been trained, but from them have come Swift B. three-year-old record 2:161, one of the best young prospects in America, and Roxine 2:181 a mare that is said to be a candidate for 2:10 honors this year. There are a half dosen young Stam B.'s that will take records this year if trained. If you want blood that will breed on, foals that will have good size, good looks and good feet and le^s, send your mares to Stam B. 2:111. He will be at Pleasanton this year for the season beginning Febru- ary 15th, in charge of Mr. C. H. Gemmill. He is still owned by Tuttle Bros, of Rocklin, Cal., who will be pleased to answer any inquiries as to breeding mares to Stam B. See advertisement. The Draft Horse. It is the prevailing opinion that the heavy draft horse, including the Norman breed, now a distinct type, was originally bred for strength to pull heavy loads; or as a draft horse. This, however, is a mis- take. During the so-called Holy Crusades, when the cavaliers were making pilgrimages to Jerusalem to redeem the Holy City to the followers of The Cross, a knight in steei-clad armor, including the breast shield and accoutrements of his horse, weighed from 350 to 450 pounds. In case of the more robust knights, who usually weighed in the )5th century about zOO pounds, the war horse was required to carry about 425poundB, So that in the so-called chivalric age all breeding was directed towards increasing the size and strength of the horse. During the year 1217, one hundred stal- lions were purchased in Normandy and imported to England and bred to English mares. And for three centuries after that, size was sought rather than speed, principally for the business of war. When gunpowder and firearms came to make still more deadly the cruel business of war (13th century) there was no further use for the lance or steel-clad armor or the broad sword, or the ponderous war steed, and the horse passed over to a beast of burden. — American Sportsman. February 11, 1905 J 9Wte gireefcev tmb ^tpturtamcm Village Farm's horses brought $132,015 at the clos- ing out sale held in New York la9t week. Direct Hal 2:04} by Direct, $11,000. Lord Direct, four-year-old, by Direct Hal, $10,500. Prince Ideal, four-year-old, by The Beau Ideal, $10,000. The Beau Ideal 2:15! by Dare Devil 2:09 out of dam of The Abbot 2:03}, $6000. Prince Favorite, four-year-old, by The Beau Ideal, dam Princess Chimes by Chimes, $2500. Chimes, brown horse, 21 years old, by Electioneer, dam Beautiful Bells (dam of 11 in the list), $2350. The above were the leading prices of the stallions consigned by Village Farm to the Midwinter Sale. Of the mares, Nettie King 2:20} (dam of The Abbot) brought the highest price, $3000; Lady of the Manor 2:04}, $2200; Grace Hamlin, $2100; Queen Regent, $2000; Fantasy 2:06, $2000; and The Queen 2:10}, $2000. Lady Fair 2:17! by Gossiper was one of the trotters consigned to the recent Fasig-Tipton sale in New York She brought $485 and goes to Good Spring Stock Farm, Barre, Pa., where she is to be used as a broodmare. Carriage horses of the fashionable type must be extremely scarce in the breeding districts. Lehman Strauss recently traveled two weeks in Ohio without find'ng more than five good enough for the New Y market. He is now looking through Maine. John Madden, Enoch Wishard, Matt Allen, Julius Bauer, Crit Davis, Walter House, John Croker, Father Bill Daly, W. H. Snyder, Lyle Simmons, Gil Curr .Will Young, Charley Hughes were identified with ohe harness horse game. They are now with the runners. Fourth payment of $10 is due and must be paid by Wednesday, March 1st, on yearlings that are entered in Pacific Breeders Futurity No. 4, $6000 guaranteed. After this payment is made there will be nothing more to pay until 1906. Keep your entry good by making this payment. The American Horse Breeder, of Boston, announces a $10,000 futurity for mares bred last year. It might be well for some of our California breeders who con- template racing over East in the future, or selling their coits at eastern auction sales, to make a few entries in this rich stake. Delia McCarty, the McKinney mare recently sold by Jerry Doran of Oakland to Geo. Easterbrook of Denver, is quite a trotter and should drop into Me- Kinney's already extensive 2:15 list this year. She will be trained by Joe Maguire. It is understood that $1500 was the price paid for her. When booking your mares this year just remember that Mr. P. J. Williams fast ti otter Monterey 2:09} by the great Sydney is in the stud at the low price of $50. Monterey sired the fastest four-year-old of 1905, the pacer Irish 2:08} and there are several of his colts ready to enter the charmed circle this year. The table of World's Records, trotting and pacing, which Arthur Caton Thomas has compiled for the American Horse Breeder is the handiest and most complete thing of its kind ever devised, and will be a valuable thing for compilers of pedigrees as well as all who desire to know what the best records are. Owners of mares in Southern California are booking liberally to Neernut 2:12} this year. They remember the matinee race at Los Angeles on Christmas Day 1902, when Neernut 2:12} defeated Sweet Marie in 2:15. McKinney mares should produce well by Neer- nut, and we understand quite a number will be booked to him this year. The class of mares that are being booked to Kinney Lou 2:07} this year are a very high-class lot. The fact that the young foais by Budd Doble's great trotter are such fine individuals and promising trot- ters has influenced those who have bred mares to him heretofore to breed them back and Kinney Lou will make a good season. Among the mares already booked to Hal B. 2:04! since his arrival at Los Angeles is Juliet D. 2:13£ by McKinney 2:11}. Juliet D is a pacer and is the dam of that whirlwind Irish 2:081 by Monterey 2:09}. A fast pacing mare by Bay Wilkes and a four-year-old mare by Silkwood 2:07 are also among the mares recently booked to Hal B. Salt Lake City is on the Western Racing Circuit and the Utah Racing Association there has hung up $20,800 for tbe horses to compete for this year at the different meetings. Races will be held May 30th, July 4th, July 24th and September 4tb, one day each. The regular circuit meeting will take place July 15th to 19th inclusive, and the Utah State Fair will be held October 3d to 17th. We advise horsemen who con- template racing In that country this year to read the advertisement that appears in this issue and send to W. S. Jones, the manager, for an entry blank contain- ing conditions and all particulars. Dan Leiginger, 801 Devisadero street, has a high bred McKinney gelding for sale. See advertisement. It is rumored about Pleasanton that W. A. Clark, Jr., will be interested in the proposed new track at that place. The yearling colt by Axworthy (3), 2:151, dam the former champion trotter Sunol 2:08}, has been named Bon Axworthy. Nancy Hanks 2:04 has been booked to John A. Mc- Kerron 2'04J. There will be more speed inheritance in the foal than in any ti otter bred thus far. Two or three bills prohibiting betting on races have been introduced in the Legislature but are hung up in the Committee on Public Morals, which does not seem to be particularly antagonistic to them. The author of one of these measures will demand that it be taken out of tbe hands of the committee as he is afraid that it will be lost in the shuffle unless he can get it before the House. Funston2:08}, the road gelding by Dictatus, sold for $1000 at the Fasig-Tipton Midwinter sale. He is now the property of John Jones, New York City. Prof. Thos. F. Adkin, of Rochester, N. Y., has sent Liska 2:18}, dam of Lisonjero 2:08}, Lunda 2:18, Liso 2:20} and Princess Lesa 2:22} to Ketcham Farm to be bred to Cresceus 2:02}. Metallas 2:11, the fast but disappointing trotter, sold for $2500 at the Fasig-Tipton sale. He is a black stallion by Mambrino King, out of Metella by Almont, and is a grand individual. Jack Wilkes, 2:21}, the crack Cleveland matinee trotter that trotted two heats in a race last season, to wagon, in 2:10, is to be raced on the Grand Circuit by Vance Nuckols next summer. If you want to win some of the $6000 which the foals, now yearlings, entered in Breeders Futurity No. 4 will contest for in 1906 and 1907, make the payment of $10 which is due and must be paid by the 1st of March. There were thirty descendants in the maternal line from Estabella, the great broodmare, disposed of at the Village Farm dispersal, and they brought a total of $46,050, an average of $1535. This is a great show- ing as quite a number were only babies, while a few were well along in years. H. S. Hogoboon reports that there is much inquiry about Iran Alto 2:12}, James W. Rea's good trotting stallion that he has in the stud at the Woodland track and the prospects for a good season are excellent. The Iran Alto's are all showing speed and extreme speed at that. Five two-year-olds by him that were trained a little last year worked miles better than 2:30. Algoneta 2:14, the bay mare by Eros, formerly owned by Mr. J. E. Mulcahey, of this city, and sold by him in New York two years ago, where she has been one of the champion trotting team of the New York speedway, went through the Midwinter sale, last week, and only brought $350. She has seen her best days. Mattie Lynn Holt, her mate, sold for $1000 at the same sale. Pleasanton people are talking of a matinee on Washington Birthday, this month. The date falls on Wednesday, and as the owners of roadsters are al- ready at work training for the events some good racing will undoubtedly be seen. The Pleasanton Times says the following named gentlemen will probably start their horses in some of the races that day: Dr. Colestock, George Johnston, W. E. Deteis. C. L. Powell, R. C. Peach, L. M. Lock, Con Nevin and Lee Wells. Cavel Rodriguez will move from Gonzales to Salinas track next week with quite a string of trotters and pacers owned by different parties. He will take the four-year-old Joe Robin by Robin that paced a mile last year in 2: I9i, and a full brother called Fred W. that is a very promising three-year-old. Another good three-year-old is called Chris Robin. All three of these young horses are owned by Mr. C. H. Wide- man, of Gonzales. Rodriguez will also have in his string the two-year-old trotter Red Robin, owned by Paul Bianchi of Gonzales. It is the intention to tit all these youngsters for races on the California Circuit. While tbe heavy rains of the past few weeks have made nearly every track in California unfit to work on, the Woodland track has been in such 6hape that the horses have been taking their usual exercise on it whenever the sun has shone. Since Superintendent Chas. Spencer began working it it is surprising how soon after a rain it is fit to speed over. There are quite a few horses in training there. Al Charvo has nine head, H. S. Hogoboom ten, R. H Nason five, Det Bigelow four, C. W. Harrington four, Prof. Free- man ten, Peter Fryatt two, Frank Wright five, and Chas. Spencer is working fourteen of the Woodland Stock Farm horses, mostly colts and fillies by Nusha- gak and Prince Ansel. ■ The Horse Fair Association will hold a six days' exhibition at Madison Square Garden, New York, beginning April 24th. At a recent meeting of the directors it was decided to offer $10,000 in purses for trotting, pacing and pony races under saddle on a miniature track to be built in the arena. On these and other features of the ^how the association de- cided to expend about $25,000, and to this end the board of directors was authorizpd to increase the capital stock of the association to $25,000. The officials recently elected are as follows: F. M. Ware, President; J. D. Carrol, Vice-President; G. G. Gue, Secretary; Lehman Strauss, Treasurer; Directors, M. G. Byers, Allen MacNaughtan, S. B. Hexter, T. E. Gordon, Jr.; J. D. Carrol, F. M. Ware, G. G. Gue, Lehman Strauss and Albert De Cernea. There are at least a half dozen buyers in California who are looking for good prospects for the Grand Circuit. They are willing to pay fair prices, but they complain that the figures asked by owners are a little too high. Owners should get all they can, but tbe chance to sell a horse at a good price should not be lost through fear that the buyer will resell at a profit. If horse buyers- cannot realize something for their time and money they will go out of the business. The breeding of Zolock 2:09} appeals to all intelli- gent breeders. Heis by McKinney 2:11}, the greatest of sires, dam the great broodmare Gazelle 2:11}, dam also of Zephyr 2:11 by Gossiper 2:14}; second dam Gipsey, dam of Gazelle 2:11! and Ed Winship 2:15 by Gen Booth. Zolock is proving a sire of early and ex- treme speed as out of his first crop of two-year-olds came last year Delilah, the fastest two-year-old pacer of the year, and Ambush a 2:20 trotter. No mistake will be made by those who breed to Zolock. Diablo 2:09} is looking better this year than ever. Like nearly every California bred horse that is taken out of the State for any length of time, he has picked up wonderfully since coming back from Oregon, and looks and acts like a two-year-old. The Diablos go into the list with such regularity every year that breeders can depend upon getting a fast colt when breeding any good mare to Diablo. Mr. C. D. Crook- ham, who has Diablo at Woodland this year, is book- ing quite a number of good mares to him. Direct Hal 2:04} sold for $11,000 at the recent Fasig- Tipton sale in New York, and one of his sons, Lord Direct, sold for $10,500. The coming of Hal B 2:04! to Los Angeles gives California breeders an opportunity to secure the blood of the famous Tennessee pacing family "The Hals," and in a great measure enables them to duplicate the breeding of this great stallion Direct Hal, as he was by Direct 2:051 and his dam a daughter of Tom Hal Direct Hal was bred by that great reinsman, Mr. Ed Geers. The fact that a whole car of mares will be sent from Spokane to Los Angeles to be bred to Zombro 2:11 is not surprising. As a sire Zombro is McKinney 's great- est son anj as a race trotter his equal was never seen among three-year olds as he won forty heats In actual races, in the majority of which he met aged horses. The young Zombros win at the races and in the show ring. He is one of the grandest looking and one of the best bred stallions in America. What more could any one ask when selecting a sire to breed to? Mr. Louis W. Winans of England, who has been a heavy purchaser at tbe big sales, has a string of fast pacers that are enough to excite the envy of American road drivers and speed lovers. In his striDg are Prince Alert 1:57 Fanny Dillard 2:03}, Charley B. 2:07!, Passing Belle 2:08}, Tberon Powers 2:08, Trilby Direct 2:08}, Tom Nolan 2:09}, Bobby Hal 2:14} and Katy B. 2:14}. He has some pretty fair trotters also, and among them are Alta Axworthy 2:10}, Nellie Gay 2:14} and others. Sue 2:12! by Athadon received a kick from a horse running in the pasture with her a few days ago, and as a result lost twin foals by Strathway that were not due for several weeks. The twins were a colt and filly exactly alike in every way, the same size, and bays with a small star. Mr. C. A. Canfield, of Los Angeles, the owner of Sue feels the loss greatly, as his desire was to breed a pair of roadsters from this good mare, and no man's $10,000 would have purchased these foals had they lived. Sue will be bred to Strath- way again this year and it is to be hoped that better luck will attend her. The popular Dexter Prince Stables, near the corner of Baker and Grove streets, this city, situated just at the Panhandle entrance to Golden Gate Park, have recently passed into the bands of Victor Verilhac, proprietor and James McGrath, manager, two gentle- men who will devote their time to catering to the wants of those who desire to keep their driving horses at one of the best located and most sanitary stables in California. Mr. Verilhac employs careful and ex- perienced men to care for and exercise park roadsters and prepare horses for track use. Ladies who enjoy driving in the park or along the ocean shore will find the Dexter Prince Stables an ideal place to hare their horses stabled as they can drive them from the park without crossing cartracks. Many good race meetings have been held at Hollister and one will be held this year that will be equal to any held there. The Hollister Free Lance of last week contained the following: "The Hollister Driving Club was organized last week with the fol- lowing officers: R. I. Orr, President; A. D. Shaw, Secretary; R. P. Lathrop, Treasurer. A lease has been secured of the race track, and tbe track will be put in first class condition. It is the intention of the club to hold a race meeting this fall. Good purses will be hung up, the intention being to make tbe meeting a great success." The gentlemen who have been selected to fill tbe official positions are leading citizens of San Benito county and we look to see the Hollister Drivi.ig Club become one of the mrst pros- perous in California and very likely be on tbe main circuit of harness racing. The Hollister track is one of the best in the State and is well appointed. a ®he gvBebsv txxxif giptfrtemcm [February 12, 1905 GOOD SHOWING IN STAKE No. 5. Two Hundred and Eighty-Six Second Payments Made in Breeders Futurity for Foals of Mares Bred in 1904. Stake No. 5 of the Pacific Breeders Futurities, guar- anteed to be worth S7000 by the Pacific Coast Trot- ting Horse Breeders Association, has a very healthy look. There were 3SS original nominations at $2 each, putting $776 into the stake as a starter, and now sec- ond payment has been made on 288 at So each, which adds $1430 to this amount, or a total of $2206 paid in on foals, a vast majority of whicb are yet unborn. The interest on these payments, which are all put in a savings bank to the credit of the stake, will make it of greater value than the guaranteed amount if the future payments are proportionately kept up, of which there is every assurance. The list of original nominations, substitutions and transfers on which second payments were made is as follows: Breeding of Foal.

On a Solid Basis. That the horse breeding industry is on a solid basis, and that the outlook for the future is most encourag- ing, is evidenced by the report on the horse in the thirty-ninth annual report of the Union Stock Yards and Transit Company of Chicago. The report by this company furnishes a good idea of the conditions of the horse business throughout the United States Dur- ing the past year the total receipts of horses were 105,949 as compared with 100,603 during the year pre- vious. The value of the horses received during 1904 was $14,303,115 and the average value of the individ- ual horse shows an increase in price every year siDce 1901, showing that the horse breeding business is in a healthy condition. For instance, draft horses aver- aged S157 in 1901 and during the past year they aver- aged $177, and increase of $6 over 1903. Carriage taams averaged $475 as against $400 in 1901, drivers $150 as against $137 in 1901, general use $140 as against $102 in 1901, and saddlers $160 as against $147 in 1901. The year 1904 also marked the largest receipts of horses for any one day in the history of the yards, as on March 21st there were 1775 horses received there. It is interesting to note, too, that the total receipts of horses duriDg thirty-nine years were 1,953,272. In regard to the horse market the report says: "Larger receipts, an active trade and better prices character- ized the Chicago horse market during the year just closed. It made the most creditable showing of any department of Chicago's live stock interests. Being unaffected by the labor troubles, it continued to pros- per the year through. The unusual dullness which marked the closing months of 1903 passed away, leav- ing a clear field for 1904. The results of the year's business were very satisfactory, and every indication points to a continuation of good business. There is a great and growing demand for good horses possessed of proper breeding and conformation, for both domes- tic use and export. The automobile has had no ap- preciable effect on horse values. The world 's produc- tion of horses has not kept pace with the growing demands of increasing populations. On the other hand, the many popular horse shows and livestock exposition?, where the floest specimens of the equine race aredisplayed to admirirjgmuilitudes, have raised the ideals of the people and increased their desire for possession of more horses and better horses than ever beforet so that a higher standard of excellence is de- manded of breeders and dealers generally. American consumers now pay fully as much for good horses of all classes as foreign customers. On the other hand there is an increasing foreign demand f^r American bred horses. Breeders and dealers are studying the requirements of the market more closely than ever h3fore, and the International Live Stock Exposition and other superb horse shows have proved ,0 be im- mensely valuable, in bringing together the ideas cf producers and customers. All horse interests are alive to the splendid opportunities cow before them. In fact, at no time in the history of the horse industry were conditions more favorable for uninterrupted prosperity than the present " Under the circum- stances it. would appear as though it would be good judgment on the part of breeders to extend their ope- rations.— Chicago Horseman- Free Service to a High Class Stallion. Six biph class mares will be given free service to Milhrae 2:16i. Milhrae is by Princa Airlie (by Guy Wilkes) dam Fearless by Fallis. He is a splendid individual and will be raced this vear.

Nothiog furnishes stronger proof of the assertion that good driving horses are scarce, than the insertion of such adver- tisements in the turf papers. A few years ago good roadsters were to be found without much trouble, but there is no longer an over supply. We hope seme of our readers may be able to furnish Dr. Congdon, of JamestowD, Cal., the sort of horse he desires. February 11, 1905J ©He ^veebev axxi> Qpovis-man THOROUGHBREDS. % The Burns Handicap has been run and won for the twelfth time, and, as usual, the favorite had the mud of defeat thrown into its aristocratic nostrils. That Claude, 137 lbs. and all, would have won if given more intelligent handling there can be no doubt, but W. Daly took "father's horse" into the deepest of the going on the back stretch, and waited entirely too long and with an air of too great confidence on the leaders to "come back." Rockaway.it is true, was plainly done for at the end of a mile, and stopped to a walk, but W. R. Condon was at his heels to pick up the running and the good dry path that ieads to victory, these muddy days — nine times out of ten. But why repine? The Burns Handicap of 1905 was won by a good horse, for from the time he "rounded to" December 16tb, the date of his first win here, W. R. Condon had started nine times, winning six races, been third twice and unplaced just once, really a first class showing. To date the son of Troubadour and Felipa has started in fourteen races at Emeryville, winning seven times and being "out of the money'' but four times. Troubadour, his sire, was a Suburban Handicap winner in the colors of Capt. S. S. Brown in the middle '8G"s, and on this race tbe coal king made the "clean-up" of his career, $110,000. To Louis Ezell the victory was a most pleasant one, forjthe Illinois turfman is not overburdened with "the gelt." For my part I like to see races of this sort won by men who will put the coin into horseflesh at no far- distant day and help along the breeding industry. Condon, to my mind, is the best and raciest looking horse that competed in the Burns, Claude the next best.in point of "looks." Veterano, ridden by Harry Birkenruth, fresh from France, got third place through the intelligent handling he received, at least four lengths being saved on the final turn through hugging the rail, where the going was about as good as anywhere else — except on "the path." Barrack in the heavy going most of the way, ran a great race, and though only fourth at the finish, was going "two for one" at the conclusion of the festivities. The new American Jockey Club-Committee on By- laws and Constitution met last Tuesday afternoon at New Orleans, and a dispatch from there says the Western Jockey Club rules are to be adopted. This is rather to be deplored, if true, for it shows a lack of originality in the new organization, which should not pattern after anyone. I saw where Worth and Elm Ridge, Kansas City, had representatives in the Cres- cent City, and this does not look as if Condon's blus- ter about Corrigan not being able to take either track from the Western Jockey Club amounted to anything. That article was too one-sided, anyhow. It looks, too, as if Corrigan had the upper hand if trouble is to be had in Illinois, for advices from Hammond. Ind. are to the effect that the big turf magnate coula secure the new track for his organization if he wanted it. Indeed, it does look very blue for racing folks in the States of Illinois and Missouri. Governor Folk is red-hot after the repeal of the breeders' law in Mis- souri, and only last Tuesday recommended to the Legislature of Missouri the lifting of this measure from the statute books and prohibiting betting on races in his State altogether. If this is done it will be an awful blow to breeders and track-owners in and about the Mound City. Truly, the goose that Uid the golden eggs will be killed. The McCafferty stable has been much in evidence of late. February 2d The Hawaiian (trained by C. C. MeC.,1 won at odds of 7 to 1. February 4th Mr. Far- nura won at odds of 8 to 1, and Golden Idol ran second to Ara in the last race. February 6th San Jose ran third to Miller's Daughter and Mabel Bates, and Dr. Leggo, the great Puryear D. colt, beat Tramotor, Edrodun and others in a big gallop. The Hawaiian ran third on Tuesday last. Bragg, Jim Curl's iittle bay horse fresh from Los Angeles, beat a fine field at six furlongs last Tuesday, his first essay this season, and the distance being con- sidered altogether too shoit to suit the horse that keeps flour in the Curl barrel. However, Bragg beat the gate and came around in the path in the home- stretch, just winning by half a length in a hard drive. Sais, the odds-on favorite, wound up fourth in the race. Hainault won his seventh race at the meeting on Tuesday, this being out of ten -starts. It is the best showing made by any horse racing here, and it is no wise certain that he ought no!i to have won nine races instead of seven. Chandler who put up an awful ride on him recently, when third, has been suspended by the stewards for an indefinite period, and this may help some. Davis has been altogether too free with his promises to ride of late and too lax in keeping his engagements, so the stewards gave him a rest for a period not made public. He might, while rest- ing, secure some tannic acid and with a solution of it bathe his troubled head. In a month or so it might be reduced to something like normal dimensions. Mazapan is the second daughter of A. B. Spreckles' fine English horse to win at the local meeting, Daruma being the first. This she did last Tuesday, like a real good one, too. She's a nice looker and seems to im- prove with every race — a good sign. Bell Reed now leads as a race-winner for the season at Emeryville, with eight victories to his credit. Hainault has seven and W. R.Condon seven, Honiton six. Belham and Sad Sam each five. This was up to, and including last Wednesday. Bell Reed cannot be raced on the big tracts of the East or Middle West, on account of his owners not being able to trace his pedigree beyond the fourth dam, though he is un- doubtedly "running bred" beyond this. Capt. Thomas B. Merry's book, "The American Thorougbred,"is out, and while I have not had time to carefully peruse it, believe it is the best thing the Captain has ever done, which is saying a whole lot. Ralph H. Tozer. From Los Angeles. The weather has been rainy during the past week and in consequence there has been a muddy track during most of the time, but these conditions seem to have had no particular evil effect on the racing, the public continuing to pick the winners with great regularity. The San Pedro Selling Stake last Satur- day was won by Requiter, the even money favorite, with The Lady Rhodesia second and Blissful third. The stake was worth $1650 to the winner which waB run up to $2-100 after the race but was retained by her owner, S. M. Williams. C. Schawaker met with bad luck in the last race on Saturday. Ralph Young running in his colors was the favorite in tbe race and carried a lot of stable money, but was unfortunately left at the post and after the race was claimed by J. Pelter for $1325, Mr. Scha- waker then losing both his monoy and his horse. Jockey Buchanan was ejected from Ascot Park last Monday and his badges taken away frcm him. Buchanan claimed that the officials would give him no satisfactory reason for the action taken, but that he was told by the captain of the Ascot police force to get away from the track and stay away. Buchanan asserts that he has been guilty of no wrong doing. Following is a list of the owners who nave won $1000 or over. James Curl got so far ahead in the beginning of the season that he Soill leads. All of his money was won in over-night events. James McLaughlin is a close second. C. Stubenbord, Jr., is a bang-up third. J.Curl$6E15, J. McLaughlin $6725, C Stubenbord, Jr. $6025, G. B. Morris $5585, J. Blute $5505, L.A.Bon- sack $5495, J. A. Wernberg $5235, J. E.

The Ascot Oaks is down for decision on Saturday, February 11th, and from present indications it looks as if quite a large field will go to the post, although Gold Rose looks to be a moral for first money. This good filly has incurred no penalties for winning and will start at even weights with the rest of the field. There are a good many events for three-year olds on the program these days in order to give owners a chance to try out their candidates for the Oaks, to be run this week, and for the Derby which will occur a week later. There has been considerable dissatisfaction among the bookmakers, owing to the action of the officials in allowing owners to scratch below the regulation six in purse races and handicaps. On several occa- sions lately there have been but three starters in events of this kind, which has destroyed the interest in them; and, in fact, two of these races which took place on Monday were no contests It is understood, however, that in future the rule will be strictly ad- hered to and no scratching will be allowed under the required number, except for lameness. John Mackey was here all of last week and disposed of quite a number of youngsters to various horsemen now at the track. Mr. Mackey was much pleased at the outlook for winter racing in this part of the coun- try, and predicted a great future for Ascot Park. George B. Kelley. Good Sport At Ingleside. The Women's Hospital and Armitage Orphanage, two very worthy institutions of this city are to be the beneficiaries of a day's sport at Ingleside Race Track on Washington's Birthday to be given by the the California Polo and Pony Racing Association. This will be the first meeting of the association held on a track near this city and it is expected a large assemblage will be present to witness the excit- ing sport furnished by the miniature thoroughbreds. The feature of the day will be the two-mile steeple- chase over the stiff jumps through the field. This will be open to all horses which have been hunted with the San Mateo drag hounds. As there area number of splendid hunters owned by sportsmen of this city and of San Mateo a strorg field is expected to start. There will also be five races on the flat, ranging from a three-sixteenth-mile dash to one at a distance of one mile. R. E. de B. Lopez will act as presiding judge at the meeting. The complete programme follows: First race, the Orphanage Stakes, three-sixteerthB of a mile— Top weight, 165 pounds, 2 pounds allowed for each quarter inch under 14 hands, 2 inches; prize cup or purse; value to the winner $25, to the second $15. Second race, the Ingleside Stakes, three-eights of a mile— Top weight, 160 pounds, 2 pounds allowed for each quarter inch under 14 hands 2 inches; prize, cup or purse; value to the winner, $25, to the second $15. Third race, the Washington Stakes, one-quarter- Top weight, 165 pounds, 2 pounds allowed for each quarter inch under 14 hands 2 itches; prize, cup or or purse, value to the first winner $25, to the second $15. Fourth race, the Burlingame cup, two miles, steeplechase — For horses that have been hunted with the Sao Mateo draghounds; catch weights, minimum 160 pounds; prize, cup; value to the winner $40, to the second $15. Fifth race, the Hospital Stakes, one-half-mile — Top weight, 155 pounds, 2 pounds allowed for each quarter inch under 14 hands, 2 inches; prize cup or purse; value to the winner $25, to the second $15. Sixth race, the Ladies' cup, one-mile — Top weight, 155 pounds, 2 pounds allowed for each quarter inch under 14 hands, 2 inches; prize, silver cup to the winner, value $75; to the second, cup or purse, value $15. The Scarcity of Horses. It is now more than five years since the last advance in the price of horses began. Between 1894 and 1899 so little breeding had been done that it was a rare thing to see a foal or a yearling or two-year old during a five-mile drive along a country road in a district which formorly sent many horses to the market. Then came the change. Horses were wanted and in 1900 many foals were born. In 1901 a still larger crop was foaled. Foals born in 1900 must be very nearly five years old now, those born in 1901 nearly foi»r and those born one year later are nearly three. We know that during all these years and 1903 and 1904 most farmers bred as many mires as they could control. There fore there should be many horses in the country, and yet such is not the report received by us. A shipper cannot be found who will say that horses are anything but 6carce and the army of professional buyers swarming all over the Corn-belt proves that horses cannot be too plentiful. What is the matter with the situation? The horses should be in evidence and still they do not seem to be. There must be seme- thing wrong somewhere. What is more, in the good old days farmers were wont to ship a good many horses themselves. They would pool interests and send enough at a time to fill a car, one of tbe owners accompanying the shipment, transacting the necessary business and accounting for the proceeds. Now one never hears of anything of the sort being done. Pro- fessional dealers alone are represented in the owner- ship of incoming loads. This again looks very much as though horses are not as plentiful as it was ex- pected they would be by this t.me. We would like to learn something of the actual condition. We reque-t our readers to write, informing us of tbe supply in their neighborhoods, numbers, ages, breeds and so forth. Are there more two-year-olds than threes, more yearlings than twos, more weanlings than year- lings? Is a too large supply to be expected providing that the demand retains its present proportions? — Breeders Gazette Jackson's Napa Soda is sold in every city, town and hamlet in the State. ®,he Qxeetfev anfr g^rtsmrttt [February. 11, 1906 SjfSassasaSsasatsiaEatssSisa ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

Firearms In Junkshops. Like every other large city on the Coast and in the West, San Francisco has its full share of pawn shops and dealers in second-haDd 6tufl like light hardware, tools and firearms. Just now these shops bristle with firearms, and a glance at their window displays — save the mark ! — might lead the uninitiated to assume that their dingy interiors were crammed with more shoot- ing-irons, which is not always true, as Isaac knows his trade and as soon as he is free to dispose of an un- redeemed firearm he hustles it into the front window as if it were hot and might set the shop afire if left elsewhere. Visitors from the territories and the in- terior points, know a good revolver, rifle or shotgun when they see it and Isaac realizes this. There Is somethiug peculiarly fascinating, to one fond of firearms, in these junkshop windows. Not that one ever cares to enter, which would involve haggling with the dealer and a lose of one's self re- spect, since one's tongue is not sharpened to a rough cutting edge through habitual contact with such characters as compose the dealer's clientele, and a mere expressed desire to look about would involve one in a wordy encounter with the proprietor and at the least a parting shot from the barker on the curb whose ready command of billingsgate is remarkable, to say the least. In one respect the firearms exhibited in the junk- shops of New York and other Eastern cities and in the larger centers throughout the West are very sim- ilar, in that one seldom sees any single-action revol- vers, target revolvers or target pistols. The majority are double-action. But whereas in the Eastern junk- shops one sees a first-class revolver but seldom, the majority being cheap affairs, in the West the reverse applies, or at least, the high-grade revolver is more in evidence, bearing out the old saying of Texans that while a man may not need a revolver often, should be need one at all he will need it very badly in- deed. Wherefore it may be asked, if a good revolver is something one may need badly, why pawn it? A question hard to answer for it is known that firearms find their way to junkshops through many channels not lighted by sunshine. Sporting goods dealers know how frequently stocks of revolvers disappear forever and of the difficulty of tracing them to their eventual destinjticn. the pawn or the junkshop, the owner of which may or may not be entirely innocent of wrong in their purchase, since he cannot always tell who his patrons are. In another respect the Eastern and Western shops show g >ods of a different character. This is in both size and calibre. There the majority are pocket sizes, .32 nd .38 calibres in the order given, with barrels ire often than over four inches in length; and .ued finish is more common than formerly, the tendency toward nickel-plating is still strong, for plating covers a multitude of Defects and the inex- perienced buyer cannot tell whether potmetal or steel lies under the buffed finish, Blued finish covers some defects, too, although in the cheaper grades of re- volvers it fails to hide inferiorily, iht re beirg a dif- ference in its general appearance easier for the expert to detect than to describe. In the West, on the other hand, revolvers are of larger calibre and more of these are seen in the win- dowsof pawn and junkshopsthan thoseof pocket size. Barrels run from three to five inches in length gen- erally, with a surprising showing of six and seven-inch barrels and a few still longer. Calibres are .38, .44 and .45, a few .41 and a minority of .32, although there seems to be an indication now that more of the latter calibre are eomiDg in 6ince the almost general adoption of smokeless ammunition than ever before, especially as some splendid new models have been placed on the market within the last five years. But the size of the junkshop revolvers impresses the Eastern visitor or stranger as remarkable and he marvels greatly as to the ability of any person to "pack a gun" so large and heavy, not knowing at the time how frequently belt and shoulder holsters are employed for the pur- pose and that a great many of these two-and-a-half and three-pound weapons served at one time as home and office defenders. In the Eastern shops of the character in question one sees a great many revolvers with hinged frames and automatic ejectors of all the known types, some that belong to the S12 to $18 grades and others that can be sold at a profit for $1 or so. Perhaps it is this remarkable similarity that helps to sell the cheap affairs, for owners of many of the roughest imitations of high grade makes have been heard to insist that their revolvers were genuine, yet these persons had never before noticed the imitative names stamped in the metal. One who can at once pick out the high grade revolvers in a window display, even from the opposite side of the street, may question whether many persons are really so ignorant of types and models, but asking the deluded purchaser of the imi- tation will at once dispel all doubts, for it iB not at all unusual for the purchaser to take the dealer's word that the weapon is of a certain standard make, and let it go at that, despite the evidence to the contrary stamped in the barrel. Few of the modern types with solid frames, swing-out cylinders and hand ejectors are noticed in these metropolitan shops', and those that are exhibited generally bear price marks so close up to list prices of new revolvers that only ignorant persons can ever beguiled into purchasing them. And up to the present time these types have not been imitated to any important extent and the standard goods evidently command good prices. m the West these solid frame weapons met with high favor on first being distributed, even though they are all of the double-action type once despised by all owners of revolvers on the western side of the Mississippi. The junkshop windows bristle with them. The heavy weapons are in the majority, the army patterns following, and with the police and pockets in third place. It is claimed that it is not Western men who buy these small weapons, but Eastern people who come here for a time or to stay, and who bring with them the idea that every person in the West requires an arsenal for protection. Of course they see their error shortly after their arrival, and thereupon many of them desire to be rid of some- thing they know little or nothing of and try to dis- pose of it without loss, but as weapons that have been used are not purchased by dealers in sporting goods, there is the choice of selling to some individual or to the secondhand dealers. Whether this applys to the majority of cases is not known, but it does to many, proving that not every firearm seen in pa vn and junkshop windows was sold through necessity, as is popularly supposed. Another reason why so many revolvers go to junk- shops is found in the fact that men's wives frequently fancy they cannot sleep soundly so long as there is a firearm in the house, and that as soon as a weapon is purchased and hidden away in a drawer they imme- diately begin to fancy that burglars are about to break in, which to them implies that the head of the house must get out of bed and ''kill a man" — all be- cause of the revolver purchase — forgetting that one who is awakened suddenly from a sound sleep is not at all likely to be an expert marksman, a fact that housebreakers understand fully and acii on as a safe- guard for their own precious skins For the peace of the household the revolver goes to the secondhand shop, and if the long-expected burglar does break in, he adds no firearms to his collection there; that is certain. Which is a reminder of the story told by an old stage driver long ago in the northern part of the State. He carried mail and express matter of value but no weapons, and declared emphatically that so long as his employers did not see fit to arm him at their expense he would carry no gun; for, he said, he had handed so many of his own guns over to high- waymen that he was continually "working for a dead horse" (paying bills for revolvers of which he had been relieved) and since be had stopped carrying guns it was a positive pleasure, on being held up, to "give the hold-ups the horse-laugh" because they could not get another six-shooter. In the San Francisco shops one notices a number of the comparatively new automatic weapons made on both sides of the Atlantic, and not a few of those shot- guns of the cheapest grade made in Belgium whose stocks are finished in hard enamel, brown or black, with here and there a carved stock, the pistol grip representing an animal's head, with red glass eyes, the locks and trigger guard being nickel-plated. But the most surprising exhibit is of American revolvers and automatic pistols that have been on the market only a few months. Often these are seen in junkshops almost as soon as others like them are exhibited by regular dealers in firearms. The reason for this is, that the dealers keep posted on various salable lines of goods — firearms, musical instruments, cutlery, jewelry, etc. Having price lists for these goods, they bill them in their windows just a jot below the regular retail prices. ShotguDS and revolvers, of the cheaper grades, are procured from the wholesale houses regu- larly, there seems to be a demand for them. Most interesting are the old models of sporting and target rifles, shotguns of antiquated model but noted make and pistols of the models in vogue a half century ago. These weapons do not stay in a shop window for a great length of time, for they are bought up by collectors, and from the regularity of supplv and evident demand this is apparently a lucrative branch of the "junk" business. AT THE TRAPS. Judging from the interest already displayed by local trapshooters the season for 1905 is destined to be a popular one with the devotees of the sport. The initial meeting at Inglesine is billed for Wash- ington's Birthday, under the auspices of the Golcen Gate and Union Gun Clubs. The program of events will embrace several pool shoots. In one of these races the money division will be made on the Injart system, which plan will have an initial tryout at Ingleside. Besides the regular entrance, say $1 in a 20 target race, there will be three other side poolE — one in which the purse will he distributed on the class shooting basis; another purse will be cut up under the Rose system and the final pool division will go to high guns. A shooter can enter any or all of the side pools as he may elect. This system has been popular at many trapshoots elsewhere and considerablecuriousity is manifested as to how it will work among Coast shooters. The Golden Gate and Union Gun Clubs were to arrange last evening with the San Francisco Trap Shooting Association for club dates at Ingleside this season. The latter club has expressed a preference for the third Sunday of each montb, during the com- ing season, as the date on which to hold the club blue rock shoots. At a meeting of the Golden Gate Gun Club held Monday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: W. S. Wattles, president; E. Gamble, vice-president; Edgar J. Forster, secretary- treasurer; Thos. L. Lewis, W. E. Murdock and E. J. Forster, directors. The club decided to dispense with an initiation fee and, instead, to collect $3 from each member, the monthly dues for the first and last two months of the trap season. This change was thought to be a good move in securing attendance at the first and two final club shoots. The history of most club trap shooting seasons shows that there is a decided falling off in attendance at the end of the season. The club program for this year provides for seven monthly shoots— a regular club race at 100 targets (50 targets Sergeant system and 50 targets at the regular five-trap bulkhead). Other events will also be shot at each meeting, these to be announced from time to time. A purse of $100 will be hung up for each regular club contest. The money will be divided among four classes: Champion $35; first $25; second $20 and third $20. This division and arrangement seems to be condu- cive to a large attendance of members at the club shoots. In addition to the club purse a donation of $50 has been made by that popular sportsman, A. M. Shields. The amount in toto or in the shape of an appropriate trophy is to be awarded the club member making the high average this season. The classification of the members for this year i6 as follows: Champion Class — Clarence A. Haight, C. C. Nan- man, R" C. Reed, M. O. Fendner, W. A. Robertson, Emil Holling, A. J. Webb, J. Stephens of Portland. E. J. Forster, J. W. Bradrick, George Sylvester, E. Klevesahl, M. J. Iverson. First Class — W. J. Golcher, W. E. Murdock, Dr. E. C. Knowles, John Potter, Ed. Donohoe, J. Bruns, Dr. C. C. Payne, E. Gamble, W. S. Wattles, Thos. L. Lewis. Second Class— A. M. Shields, Dr. A. C. Hutton, H. Klevesahl, C. D. Laing, E. Jacobson, P. Knauft, J. Clark. Third Class— Dr. Sylvester, T. Turner, L. Cuneo, W. Burton, E. Bowen, B. Patrick, J. Dwiggins. The opening of the live bird season will be the tra- ditional function of the California Wing Club. The date 6et is Sunday March 19th instead of the first Sunday as has been the custom for years past. The club season, we have been informed, will con- sist of seven pigeon shoots, the first five at 12 pigeons and the concluding two races at 20 birds, 100 pigeons for the season. The club purse for each 12 bird race will be $50 and $125 each for the 20 bird meets— $500 in cash for the season for high guDS, the moneys in each race will be divided, it is believed, in accordance with the number of entries. As usual there will be four handsome and valuable medals to high guns for the season. There has been some discussion in favor of two club live bird shoots each month. It is probable that some arrangements, however, to that effect will be con- summated for there is a strong enough contingent of "feather" shooters to make the project possible. The Alameda Gun Club will open up at the High street trap grounds in Alameda on Sunday, March 5. An open-to-all merchandise event is one of the strong attractions that will, no doubt, induce a large atten- dance at this popular club's house warming for 1905. February 11, 1906J @lte tgvee&ei? ants §ipovi$tnatt 0 Oa Performing Dogs. [Continued From Last Week.] Our second visit to the same theater took place this week, where Messrs. Paris and Simon are now amusing the public with a burlesque Roman sketch, in which a smart little Fox Terrier takes a leading part. "How did I come to start training dogs?" Herr Paris replied to our query just before his performance began. "I was employed for some time in a circus, and from training lio^s, it came natural to try my hand at teaching tricks to dogs. I have tried all kinds of dogs and can generally tell in a few weeks whether a dog will pay for training. I am a dog lover and have taken prizes for dogs which I have shown at the Berlin Kennel Club shows." "What breed do you consider best adapted for stage work?" was our next question. "Well, Poodles, of course, are clever and easily trained, but they are too conceited," said Herr Paris, with a laugh; "they are only satisfied when they are showing ofl their cleverness before an audience. Fox Terriers are very intelligent. I would not take £200 sterling for my little dog here. He is the only one I have known to turn a somersault off me on the ground, and then tut n another directly he alights. Besides, I am too fond of him. "Perhaps the best dogs for stage purposes are the cross between Fox Terriers and Bull Terriers. They are wonderfully intelligent and can be taught to do many things. But you must not whip them — no dog can be properly trained by fear or force. 'All done by kindness, ' as you English people say. Yes, I have tried Bull Terriers. They are very good, but are too inclined to bite. Big dogs are really of no good. A Great Dane or a German Deutschedogge will do what it is told, and so will a St. Bernard, but their size is against them for stage work — they cannot be taken about from place to place in baskets so well as the small dogs can, and they do not take so kindly to their work. "Borzois are intelligent, but what I call dumb dogs —the won't work and they bite; they are no good*for training. I have had ten years of dog training now, and am very fond of the work. But I am afraid I am only telling you the same things that other trainers would. No! I have no special secret methods. If a dog likes me and I like the dog, t can readily teach him what he is capable of learning. "There, it is time for me to get ready for my turn — of course, you will stay and see my clever doggie?" Of course we did, and the hearty applause which greeted the performers proved that the audience were of the same opinion as we are, that Herr Paris is a clever trainer and has, indeed, a clever doggie. Little George and his very clever dog Rosie are at the present time nightly amusing the audience at the Tivoli. George, whose surname is Spink, hails, we believe, from Birmingham, and is a clever acrobat, and Rosie joins him in the workings of his tricks. Rosie is a pretty creature, a cross between a Fox Terrier and a Blenheim Spaniel, now five years old, and was bought for five shillings in Birmingham when four months old. She has been trained "on the stage" for two years. Her training, therefore, took tnree years to accomplish. Quite recently a gentleman, whose name George mentioned, offered a thousand pounds for Rosie, but her owner refused it. "I would not part with her," said he, "for any sum, however large. " Rosie works quite of her own free will, obeying the slightest word of command on the rare occasions when such a reminder becomes neces- sary. Her master asserts that she is the only dog who can turn a forward somersault off a chair and alight upon her hind legs and enjoy doing so. Her balancing powers are remarkable. She will go to any one. and practically understands all that is said to her, whether by ber owner or a stranger. Like other prominent favorites of the footlights, she has an understudy prepared at any moment to take her place upon an emergency, so that the public may not be disappointed. It may be added that an understudy is the rule, at least in the case of the single performers, as Herr Paris and Mr. Braham's dogs both have understudies, and Mr. Herbert also supplies understudies for all his principals. Rosie's accomplishments are many. Little George, dressed in hunting costume, first enters into a rustic scene through a gate which he closes after him. Rosie follows in a short time, walking, opens the gate for herself, then carefully closes it after her, and pro- ceeds across the stage to a chair, which she mounts. A cigarette is placed in her mouth and she smokes it. Her owner takes a gun and, facing a mirror, with his back toward her. takes aim ard fires at the cigarette, and Rosie never moves during this perilous perfor- mance. One of Rosie's tricks is intended to explain how to evade payment upon the railroad. A basket iB placed closed upon the stage, and her master says: "Now, Rosie, the ticket collector is coming; hide yourself in the basket." The dog immediately runs totbe basket, opens it, and jumps inside, closing the lid; peeping out, however, from time to time. Presently George calls "Tickets!" Immediately down goes the lid, and Rosie remains perdue until her master cries, "All right," when she immediately jumps out of the basket again. Rosie walks the tight rope, she takes a cane in her mouth to serve as a balancing pole and then walks gracefully along the rope suspended across the stage. George performs some very creditable gymnastic feats. He catches hold of the flying rings, and Rosie jumps upon his head, and after going through several familiar evolutions, with Rosie always sitting upon the top of his head, the dog turns a double somersault to the ground. Other clever and amusing tricks fol- low, and at the close Little George, addressing the dog, says "Rosie you have been a bad dog today. You must therefore go to btd; but, first, you must say your prayers." The dog immediately jumps upon a chair, and with its paws placed upon the upper bar of the chair back, and its head resting upon its paws, remains for a considerable time motionless. After a time her master says, "Now, Rosie, you have been too long; you are keeping me waiting; get down from the chair." But Rosie never stirs. He repeats the command several times, but Rosie pays no attention. At last, he says, "Ah, I see; you wish me to finish your p ravers for you. Amen." when the dog immediately jumps off the chair and retires from the stage. In conversation with George he stated that a dog that is to be trained for stage work must be taken in hand when quite yourg; not too young, however, nine months old or thereabouts, and that the whole secret of success is to teach the dog to love you, but not through its stomach; to play with it and let it under- stand, as soon it will do, than you take an interest in everything it does. He treats his dogs in no excep- tional way, they are exercised as ordinary dogs are exercised, and Rosie accompanies her owner in his stroll through the streets of London, where she is as well-known by the cabmen and omnibus men on the route between Brixton and Piccadilly Circus as is George himself. He considers that no breed of dogs is incapable of training, and he has no preference for one breed over another, as far as sagacity is concerned. He thinks the Poodle learns quickly, and for that reason has been frequently used for stage purposes; but the public are tired seeing that particular breed, so that he does not care to employ it. Like Herr Paris, too. he considers Ihe Poodles to be very self- conscious. Rosie bids fair to become immortal, as she is one of the two dogs portrayed in the well-known picture, "Popularity." Mr. Herbert, whose troup of performing dogs is one of the chief items of interest in the program at the London Hippodrome, is an American, and is a trainer of many years' experience. Mr. Herbert's highly trained troupe gives a performance on more familiar lines than those we have previously described. This in no way detracts from the merits of the entertain- ment, for many of the tricks are both novel and ex- ceedingly clever. The scene opens with a promenade of Durses and their charger, the latter, some in mail- carts and perambulators, others trotting by their maids' sides, the dogs in each case being appropriate- ly costumed. This is followed by dogs jumping through baskets, obstacle races, which introduce some very humorous tricks, and othercomic eiements; the shooting of a "bad dog" who stimulates the death struggle and death itself in the most natural manner; other dogs climb ladders held horizontally upon chairs, or turn back somersaults and similar clever vaulting feats, with other "turns" too numerous to mention. The ' clown" of the piece is a mongrel, a crots between a French Poodle and a Yorkshire Terrier, eleven years old, whose aDtics are surely as much the result of innate humor as of careful training. In the course of conversation, Mr Herbert informed us that he adopted his profession from choice at the age of nineteen, and for thirty years it has been a labor of love to him. He prefers to have a dog to train for stage purposes at about a year old, certainly not older and believes that all breeds are equally capable of learning, but that the sagacity of individuals differs greatly. He can almost immediately determine whether a dog is suitable for stage purposes. He prefers the smaller breeds, except for "carrying tricks," because large dogs are clumsier, and do not work so willingly as small dogs. No dog can be properly trained which is unkindly treated, but great firmness is necessary while they are undergoing their training. The course of training usually occupies nearly three years, and, speaking generally, his experience is that cross-bred dogs are more alert and intelligent than thorough- breds. Mr. Herbert asserts that dogs do perfectly under- stand what is said to them, and offered to prove it. We accompanied him to the basement of the Hippo- drome, where the dogs were benched, and witnessed an impromptu performance: the dogs did exactly what they were told without the slightest hesitation. Not the slightest trace of coercion was observable either in the public or private performances, and it was evident that complete sympathy existed between the dogs and their owner. The result of our investigations was to convince us that to succeed as a trainer one must possess intelli- gence, kindness, sympathy and patience in a marked degree, and that within "limitations the intelligence and reasoning faculty in dogs can ba trained and de- veloped to an extent not usually realized. — English Kennel Gazette. DOINGS IN DOGDOM. S. F. KENNEL CLUB SHOW. It gives us great pleasure to announce that Mr. H. H. Carlton will act as Superintendent for the May show. The club, exhibiting fanciers and visitors are to be congratulated on the selection forthis important billet. Mr. Carlton was an energetic and efficient official for the initial show of the club in 1897. SHOW JBDGE9. Coming events cast their probabilities before. We noted in an Eastern exchange recently that Mr. Tom Ashton was scheduled for Buffalo and probably Seattle and Portland— the surmise follows that Mr. Ashton was the gentleman whom the S. F. K. C. bench show committee might engage. Such is the fact and we can announce authoritatively that Mr. Ashton will be the all-round judge for the 'Frisco Show in May. This selection is one that will be, without doubt, satisfactory to our exhibitors in general. Mr. Ashton is an authority across the water and is well known on this side by reputation His appearance now in the East being his first visit to the United States, his reception by Eastern fanciers will, no doubt, be a cordial one, and, we can assume, will be duplicated on the Coast. Leeds Muddler and a number of other good terriers with the Leeds prefix hail from the the Ashton kennels at Leeds, England. Among the dogs he recently brought over was the noted Airedale Sweet Kildare. The judges for the Westminister Kennel Club show next week and also for the Boston show have already been published in the Breeder and Sportsman. The judiciary for the Pittsburg show will be: Mr. W. S. Bell— English, Irish and Gordon Setters. Mr. E. Muss-Arnoldt— Great Danes, Foxh'ounds, Pointers, Chesapeake Bay Dogs, Dachshunds. Mr. E. M.

Most people imagine that if they let the dog out of the house or the kennel where he is usually confined that this is as much exercise as he needs. A great mistake, especially in the cold winter weather. There is no more efficient way to exercise than by walking, and if possible this exercies should be taken along a road. Violent exercise is as much a detriment to the dog's well being as too little. Some good hints are em- bodied in what our English namesake said a while ago in talking over exercising big dogs for the variety of large dogs demand in all probability more at- tention in the way of exercise than the medium weight and smaller breeds; and for the simple reason that unless their limbs are strengthened so that they can support the weight of the huge bodies they have to carry, the ankles and hocks give way, and the feet become splayed and unsightly. Good sensible feed- ing, of course, goes a long way in contributing to- wards the strength of the limbs, but adequate ex- ercise is simply indispensable, and it should take tne form of long walks at a moderate pace. Big dogs will not as a rule, gambol about and enjoy themselves after the manner of a Terrier; and eyen if some do so, it is the long slow drag that lays tbe muscle on and adds strength to the limbs and joints. At the same time there is no wisdom in tiring a dog out day after day by taking him a grind that is beyond his strength to accomplish without being knocked out. An hour or so four days a week, a longer period on the other two week days, and a rest in the kennel yard or paddock on Sunday will keep any dog fit; but this is the allowance for adults. Growing puppies re- quire less at all times at all events, and a couple of half-hours on the roads will usually suffice to help them along; but, of course, circumstances alter cases. It is most desirable that the walks should be on the road, and not on grass, as the former kind of exercise hardens the soles of the feet and helps to keep them in shape if the work is slow. On the other hand, if it is too fast, the feet get knocked about, and the con- cussion renders the animals liable to develop splints, as in the case of a horse, this being an undoubted, fact of which possibly every dog owner may not be aware. The smaller varieties, such as Collies and , of course, Terriers, all benefit by work on the road, but It may be faster, and so when the animals are old enough they can be allowed to follow a trap or cycle, but it is as bad for them as it is cruel to bring them along for several miles at top speed. Still more reprehensible is the practice, adopted by some unthinking people, of fastening their unfortunate dogs to the axle of a vehicle, beneath which they are compelled to travel long distances in a cloud of dust or over rough stones without an opportunity of relieving the wants of nature. This is not exercising dogs, but sheer bar- barity on the part of their owners; but happily this practice is now less common than it used to be, prob- ably because the management of dogs is better under- stood .— American Stock-Keeper. 10 ©ttv ■gveebsv ani> gtportswau [February 11, 1905 NORTHERN SHOWS.

Previous shows have been popu- lar and successful. In this respect the club has es- tablished a precedent that might be followed with much advantage by other Coast kennel clubs. At present it loots as if only the British Columbia clubs are left in the W. K. L. The Victoria club will show under C. K. C. rules. It is probable that the other B. C. kennel clubs will follow suit and that a Coast advisory board will be sanctioned by the Tor- onto officials. Under present C. K. C. rules Canadian exhibitors can compete in the circuit shows across the border and their wins will receive borne recognition— two out of the require! five wins for a Canadian championship mav be made under outside rules. From present indications there is now an intente cordiale up north between existing governing kennel jurisdictions. SHOW CIRCPIT NOTES.

Cato Jr., we regret exceedingly to note the perpetra- tion of a cruel and dastardly outrage upon. an un- offending dumb animal. The Setter had disappeared from the kennels at Eckley station and despite a vigorous hunt for him, even to the extent of search- ing a vessel, ready for sea, last Sunday morning, no trace of Cato was discovered. The Door dog, true to his nature, turned up after an absence of seven days and in a condition that was pitiable in the extreme. A forlorn, wretched looking animal limped into a butcher shop in Crockett one afternoon last week, he was at first regarded as one of the filching town curs and was about to be run off by the butcher's boy. The dog looked over to the butcher appealingly and feebly wagged his tail, a second glance showed something familiar about the bedraggled animal and on closer inspection the canine supplicant was recognized. He was found to be in 60 awful a condition that it puzzled those present to understand how he was able to move about. One eye was hinging from its socket, dangling on the optic cord, on the back of the dog's neck there was a jagged wound — where the skin and muscles, the size of one's fist, had evidently been shot away. The maltreated dog must have been in that condition at least five or six days before he had re- covered sufficient strength to hunt up his nearest friend — for the dog is weli-known and liked all through that s etion. Cato was at once given the best treatment available and then brought down to the city and placed in charge of Dr. Steers. At first it was believed that the dog would not recover. Under the vet's skill- ful treatment Cato has been getting on nicely, there is now a chance for saving him. Dr. Steers states that in all his experience the case was the most pitiable he has ever known. The perpetrator of the outrage is known and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The fellow is suspected of having shot and killed a number of other dogs — a bitch running loose was the cause of the dog's appearance at the brutal shooter's ranch. His aim at Cato was effective to the extent of "creasiDg" the dog who was picked up supposedly dead and thrown into a hole with the other slain dogs. Examination of the eye did not disclose any shot marks, the supposition is that the brute's heel or a blow from the butt of his gun accounts for the loss of the dog's eye. Cato must have lain where he was thrown for several days, during which time it rained heavily frequently." The dog's endurance and vitality under the circumstances is little short of marvellous. A perusal of the second annual sale list received this week from Sabine Kennels, Orange, Texas, shows a list of desirable ones at reasonable prices. There are no culls offered, all are correctly described and of exceptional merit. Any unregistered stock will be red with or without the Sabine prefix as the purchaser may desire. The option of money refunded if any dog bought is not found as described in the catalogue. The sale list is worthy of the perusal of all fanciers and can be had by addressing request for same to the Sabine Kennels' Manager. Mr. F. H. Jermyn, of Scrantun, Pa., .1. W. Flynn and S. Christenron, of .ill spend the day to-morrow with W. H Coutts at Kenwood Kennels, Sonoma. Mr. Flynn is the lucky possessor at present of two litters of Pointer puppies sired by Ch. Senator P. The youngsters were whelped at Kenwood and are out of two high class bitches brought out here frcn the East not long ago. Proposed Game Law Changes. A report from Sacramento early this .veek gives the following synopsis of the proposed changes in the present game and fish laws: A variety of bills bearing on the preservation of fish and game have been introduced in both houses of the Legislature, but thus far owing to the presence of other business, they have not progressed very much toward enactment. The Senate Committee on Fish and Game, of which Hon. Chas. M. Shortridge is chairman, has found it impossible to meet for the consideration of any of the bills before it, but it is expected that the Committee will have little difficulty, when it gets together, in de- ciding upon what matters should be reported favor- ably, as there is a disposition to recognize the sugges- tions of the Fish Commissioners in most particulars. In fact, most of the bills now on the files of the Senate and Assembly are Fish Commission bills, and it was expected that the Senate and Assembly Committee during the present week would report back a substi- tute bill embracing all of the contemplated changes in the fish and game laws on which it desires favorable action. There are six fish and eleven game bills before the Senate and a lesser number before the Assembly, ail of the latter being identical with bills pending before the upper house. The changes proposed in the several fish bills are apparently not very voluminous. Senate bill 121, by Coggins, a Fish Commission bill, proposes to ado the month of January to the open season for black bass, the closed season at present being from January 1st to July 1st; changes the closed season on trout so that it will begin and end one month later, May 1st to December 1st, and makes it unlawful to take any trout less than five inches in length. Senate bill 439, another Fish Commission bill by Coggins, dispenses with the pr sent closed season on shrimps and makes it unlawful to ship any dried shrimps or shrimp shells to any other state, territory or foreign country, which restriction, it is thought, will cause about twenty of the twenty-eight licensed shrimp boats of Chinese fishei men to go out of busi- ness and prevent the wholesale destruction of small food fish now prevented by the. closed season on shrimps. The aims of other fish bills are as follows: Senate bill 535, by Shortridge, making it unlawful to set nets or draw a seine for the purpose of catching fish in the waters of any bay or in the waters of the ocean along the coast of California within 1000 feet of any pier or wharf; Senate bill 455 by Nelson, reducing the weight of striped bass that may be taken from three pounds to two pounds; Senate bill 357, by Savage, relating to the licensing of persons engaged in the avocation of fishing who use boats and nets. The changes contemplated in the game laws are more complicated. Senate bill 292, by Shortridge, a bill favored by the Commission, adds the English or jack snipe, dowitcher, or redbreasted snipe, robin snipe, godwit or marlin, willet, sandpiper, sanderling, yellow legs, surfbird, turnstone, oyster catcher, avo- cet, stilt, bittern and wild pigeon to the list of birds, the taking or ailling of which is prohibited between February loth and October 15th; makes it unlawful to take or kill any swau or any variety of imported quail; places a baglimitof twenty-five on wild ducks, grouse, doves, snipe and the other marsh and shore birds above mentioned; makes the closed season on deer from October 15th to August 15th of the following year, instead of from November 15th to July 15th: prohibits the taking or killing of any species of tree squirrel, on which there is now an open season from August 1st to February 1st; makes it unlawful for any person to take or kill more than two deer during a season, instead of three, as at present; changes the law slightly in reference to shipments of game, and make6 a number of changes in the minimum penalties fixed for the violation of the various game laws. Senate bill 294, by Shortridge, places wild ducks, doves, snipe and other varieties of marsh and shore birds on the unsalable list. The Commissioners favor the placing of doves and snipe on the unsalable list, but want ducks to be sold with less restrictions than at present. There are two bills by which the Commission hopes to attain this end. One is Senate bill 500, by Wolfe, providing for the licensing of hotel and restaurant keepers, mar- ket hunters and game dealers and commission mer- chants, the restaurant and hotel keepers, game deal- ers and commission merchants being allowed to have more than the bag limit of ducks in their possession on any one day. This is not a Commission bill, but it is in line with the Commission's ideas on the subject. The other measure is Senate bill 1S3, by Coggins, which provides, among a number of other minor changes in the game laws, that hotel keepers, restaur- ant keepers or other persons or corporations licensed by the State to serve or sell ducks, may have in their possession more than twenty-five ducks on any one day, but shall not receive more than twenty-five ducks from any one person on any one day Another bill which the Fish Commissioners favor is Senate bill 293, by Shortrige, providing for the licensing of market hunters for the more effectual en- forcement of the Penal Code's provisions relating to bag limits. A market hunter, it is explained, can be watched much better if he is required to mark the number of his license on every shipment of ducks he makes. Another bill in line with this is Senate bill 118, by Belshaw, by which the Commission hopes to be given authority to search, without warrant, any boat, con- veyance, vehicle, car, box, locker, basket, creel, crate, gamebag or other package, or the contents of any store, market place or building, other than a dwelling to ascertain whether any of the provisions of any law for the protection of the fish and gsme have been vio- lated. Other game bills before the Senate are: Senate bill 551, by Sanford, permitting Supervisors, with the consent of property owners, to establish game pre- serves containing not less than ten or more than 400 square miles, within which it shall be unlawful to kill any deer, or carry firearms; Senate bill 372, by Sel- vage, making it a felony to kill an elk; Senate bill 296, by Leavitt, making it unlawful to hunt between 5 p. m. and 6:30 a. m., instead of between half an hour be- fore sunrise and half an hour after sunset, which the author considers too indefinite: Senate bill 305, by Sel- vage, making it unlawful to hunt or pursue any wild ducks with any kind of a sneak boat, or any kind of a sculi boat, or any boat propelled by steam, electricity or gasoline power; Senate bill 291, by Woodward, making it lawful for any person to kill any kind of game at any time of the year, on inclosed land of which he is the owner or lawful occupant. Out of this mass of proposed legislation the mem- bers of the Fish and Game Committees or endeavor- ing to frame some measure or measures that will he within reason, and it was presumed during this week some of the results of their labors in this direction would be arrived at but at this time we have not been so advised. _ The biggest fights will probably be over the ques- tion of reducing the bag limit on ducks to twenty-five, reducing the number of deer one person may kill in any one season, the licensing of restaurants, hotels, dealers and market hunters, giving the Commission the right of search, and the opening of the shrimp season. Among the market hunters at and about Knight's Landing much concern is manifested over the pro- posed bag limit change in the game law and several petitions will be forwarded from that vicinity asking that the bag limit remain as it is. That section is about the most extensive market hunting one in the State some fifty or more hunters depending almost entirely on the market returns for the winter support for their families. While the mallard and sprig are not nearly so numerous as they were some years ago, the teal and "baldies'' are much more plentiful and are yearly in- creasing in numbers. Today, it is asserted, a good hunter could go to the shores of the Sutter overflow, and, if the law permitted, could bag frcm 200 to 250 birds in a single day as easily as 100 could have been secured ten years ago. The cause of the abundance of the "baldies" and teal and the scarcity of the mallard and sprig is be- cause the latter varieties will not fe butter and cream as a cloth does. The vessels should be dried, not wiped. Fresh, warm milk should not be strained into the cream jir, aa it hastens the aouring, and causes the milk to ripen unevenly. Cool it, then pour it in and Btir it thoroughly. The use of wooden vessels in handling milk is being abandoned. The churn is Btill used, but wooden pails are going out of use, as is also the use of ruaty pails, eans and strainers. To make a scrub milk cow out of a thoroughbred is very easy. Poor feed, poor milking and a lack of care will do it in a few years. It takes longer than this to make a thoroughbred out of a scrub. A Minnesota butter-maker of McLeod county, J. C. Joslin, got the grand prize at the World's Fair for the highest aver- age score on the productof any butter- maker. There were over 5000 competitors. England reliea largely upon imported butter. Denmark alone furniahea a large part of it. It retails in England for 25c to 30c per pound. The total coBt approxi- mates $90,000,000. Milk is an ideal food for most young animals, and particularly it ia congenial to young piga and older ones. A dairy farm where butter or cheese is manu- factured ia an inviting place for as many piga as can be accommodated. Twenty thousand quarta of milk are used daily in the United States for making milketones, from whicli many articlea are manufactured, which formerly required ivory, horn, celluloid, hard rubber, etc. Milkatone is manufactured into knife and fork handles, paper cutters, pipes, cigar holders, etc. All agree that salt is important for cows. The Mississippi Experiment Station found that three dairy iows kept without Bait for two weeks gav« 454 pounds of milk; the same cows during the next two weeks with salt give 564 pounds of milk, showing a net gain of 110 pounds of milk in two weeks. Salt should be within easy reach of the cows at all times. Dairying ia a busiueaa in which there ia always something to stir ones am- ition. There is a standard for milk, or butter and for cows. That standard s set higherfrom time to time and should >e Butter ought to get better, because ■own should improve, and milk should improve. Such thoughts create an am- otion such that no difference what has been done, it is hoped that more will be done. Every dairyman should strive to be the one who will do better thinga. and the police were notified. But they didn't find him. In the course of an hour the telephone at the barn rang, and the proprietor of Cunningham'a blackamith ahop an- nounced that Bob was all "sharpened up" and ready to leave. In anawer to queations, he said that Bob had walked into the shop a short time before, taken his place in the line, and they had shod bim. "Well, turn bim loose," aaid the barn man. In a few minuteB Bob trotted into the stable with a large-sized smile on hia face.— Omaha Bee. Cattle Exports Break Record. Instinct or Reason? Bob is the name of a gray horae that belongs to the United States Express Company in Omaha. Bob has been in the service for a good many years, and knows his business. His latest illustra- tion of his sagacity ia the best ever, bit owners think, and if Bob waBn't a teeto- taler, would consider that the drinks were on them. Since the icy pavements have been in vogue the company has been unable to get all its horses shod, and becauBe Bob was one of the steadiest animals in the stable, he was left until the last. In spite of his best efforts he slipped down twice Wednesday. While he munched hia oats he had the air of one in deep thought. When he was led into the barn floor to be har- nesBed for his daily task he bolted for the open door and disappeared. The attend- ants gazed in astonishment that Bob, of all the horses, should do such a thing. Search failed to disclose his whereabouts. There is at present a phenomenal de- mand for export cattle, says the Chicago Live Stcck World. The shipments from Chicago last week were about the largest in the history of the trade for one week and were distinctly the heaviest for any week at this Beason of the year. The number tagged waa 11,039 head, against 7923 last week and 6820 a year ago. There has been no especial improve- ment in prices across the water to stimu- late such big shipments at this time, but the fact ia that exporters have contracted for considerable apace which they are compelled to utilize. There ia no big fortune in the export business at the margin of profit now existing between Chicago and London, but still there is apparently enough in it to attract a good many buyers to it. Many Canadians are operating at the present time and that has helped to swell the volume of business greatly The Canadian ports have been closed since last November and exporters from that country seeing an opportunity of making a little money on the American side of the fence have taken hold quite freelv during the past month. Cattle are cneap at this end of the line and that has been a temptation to many traders, though shipments have been so heavy since the first of the year that the foreign markets have been kept down to a pretty low level. It has been fortunate for the trade here that this demand has been so good, for it was really the buoyant factor in the business. The export cattle are costing around $4 75 @ 5 25 and this helps out the middle class of cattle matterially. More Cattle Than People. E. O. McCormick, assistant traffic di- ectorofthe Harriman eystem, has com- piled some interesting statistics on the development of the livestock industry in the West, beginning with the comple- tion of the Union Pacific railroad in 1869. There was then in the whole United States S9,729,309 farm animals, valued at $1,527,704,029 in the depreciated currency of that date, the resumption of specie payinentB not taking effect until Jan. 1, 1879. In the states and territoriea on and tributary to the Union Pacific railroad there are now 92.680,281 farm animala, with a farm value of $1,211,523,137 in gold. Thia exceeds by 2,850.962 the total number oi farm animals in the United Statea in 1869. In January, 1S79, ten yeare after the completion of the Union Pacific railroad, there were 118,976,800 animals in the United Statea, with a farm value of $1,445 423,062 in gold. In 1903 the num- ber had risen to 179,1S2,801 animals, with a farm value of $2,998,247,479 in gold, Twenty years after the completion of the road, in January 1889, there were 150,152,581 animals, with a farm value of $2,507,050,058. In January, 1S94, there were 164,284,673 animals, with a farm value of $2,4S3,506,- 681. This is less than 1903 by 14,898,128 animals, and $514, 740, 798 in value.

The following is taken from the Janu- ary number of the American Sheep Breeder : "Five dollars a pound for long mohair! This is the world's record price for long or short mohair and the American Sheep Breeder haa pleasure in recording the fact. Who are the grower, seller and buyer concerned in this remarkable trans- action. The magnificent buck 'Kingston Lad,' whom everybody at the late World's Fair admired fcr his splendid 20-inch fleece, was shorn in November, jielding a 16-pound fleece, 10 pounds of which waa over 20 inches long and sold to Mr. Levussove, the New York City manu- facturer, for $50, or $5 per pound.

Probably do more complete account of the nature of butterfat, and the cauBes which affect its character, haa been pub- lished in pamphlet form than that issuing from the pen of Dr. Thorpse, F. R S., the chief chemist at Somerset House, says Herald-Star, Montreal, Canada. The author shows very clearly what is meant by the usual statement that the fat of butter— for butter contains water and curdy matter in addition to fat— consists of a mixture of certain glycerides, or combinations of glycerine, with certain acids. To the reader who believeB, or supposes, that the fat of butter ie a simple substance, this statement may appear something new. But fat is a very com- plex substance, and up to the present time no less than 12 acids, all differing in character, have been recognized, which are combined with glycerine. These acids are respectively composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxyeen in varied propor- tions The scientific reader may be in- terested to know that the glycerides should practically be regarded as tri-glycerides, or, in other words, combinations of one molecule of glycerine with three molecules of acid, although it is not so certain that these three molecules are respectively of one and the same acid in all cases. Com- monly speaking, reference is often made in relation to the combination of butter to stearine, olein and palmitin, which are among the most important of these fatty acids, but chemically speaking, they are described as stearic, oleic and palmitic acids ; and it is worth notice that while a sample of butterfat may contain nearly one-third of its weight of oleic acid it may also contain one-half of its weight of stearic, palmitic and myristic acid. The fatty acid present in large quantity is palmitic acid. There is, however, much more to learn upon this matter. With regard to the coloring of butter, it is believed— for again the question is not determined— that it is owing to chloro- phyl, which is the material found in all green plants — and which accounts for their color. We have referred to the large propor- tion of olein. That proportion vanes, and it is greatest soon after the cow has calved which produces the butter in which the color is present. Olein may indeed be present to the extent of 50 per cent, but later on the proportion falls, while that of palmitin increases. Fats of different kinds vary considerably in their composition. The fat on the back of the cow differs from the fat in her milk, con- sequently the fat of margarine differs in its composition from the fat of butter which it iB intended to imitate. Marga- rine fat consistB chiefly of the glycerides of stearic, palmite and myristic acide, the fatty acids, which are often described Warranted to Give Satisfaction.

As these volatile acids are present in such small quantities in butter, however, it is not always possible to detect the differ- ence between a sample of pure butter and a sample of margarine in which butter ie present, and for this, amoDg other reasonB, the margarine law was passed, for in consequence of the difficulty of certifying the adulteration after analysis the margarine maker or seller, by skillful manipulation, is able to pass off margarine butter. It may be well to notice that as cows approach the period of drying, their butterfat is invariably poor in acids of the volatile group; and here again a difficulty has arisen. The proportion of the volatile acids rapidly increases up to a maximum in from five to seven days after the cow has calved ; it then diminishes gradually. Apart from this, however, it has been found, first of all in Holland by French chemists, that where cows are exposed to cold or inclement weather, especially where they are scantily fed, there is a reduction in the proportion of the volatile acids, and for this reason pure butter has sometimes been regarded as margarine. Breeding From Sound Horses. Perfect material is necessary for the building of a perfect edifice. Unsound material means etructual weakness that architectural beauty can never offset. So in horse breeding. Two sound parents are necessary for the production of sound offspring. Soundness in one parent can- not be trusted to overcome unsoundness in the other. One or both may have beauty of form and the resultant progeny may likewise be beautiful, but mere beauty is of little value in the market unless associated with soundness and good wearing qualities. The fixed law in breeding is that "like produces like," hence, while we continue to use unsound stallions and mares in our breeding opera- tions we shall have unsound horses to offer on the market at the small, discrim- inating price paid for such aDlmals. Breeders should refuBe to breed their mares to an unsound stallion no matter how handsome he may appear, how well he may be bred or how many prizes he may have won. The stallion must be free from diseases known to be trans- missible to the offspring in kind or as a susceptibility. He must have sound eyes, bearing and 'wind" and be free from spavins, Bidebones, ringbones, Btringbalt, St. Vitus dance (chorea) and contagious diseases. To this end the breeder should demand of the owner a certificate of soundness signed by a reputable, qualified veterinarian. He should see, too, that the stallion is pure bred and duly re- corded in the stud book of bis particular breed, but should not accept pedigree as an apology for the absence of any one of the other necessary requirements. The stallion is, however, but one side of the proposition. His mate must also be sound. We muBt quit the absurd, ruinous policy of considering a worn-out, halt, maimed, blind or otherwise unsound mare fit for breeding purposes on the basis that she ia "good for nothing else." She is wholly unfit for breeding purposes. Un- soundness ie common among broodmares and prevalent among stallions. The natural consequence is that many horseB are unsound and their market value small on that account. Let ub forthwith insist that every Btallion used shall be Bound and vow that we will never again breed an unsound mare.— A S. Alexander in Iowa Homestead.

[REGISTERED TRADE MARK] \ The Way "Save-the-Horse" Makes Them September 7th, at the Faaig-Tipton Sales at Sheepshead Bay, a yearling by Esher-Excellenza was being sold by Mr. William EastoD, and when the animal was led into the ring he said: "This horse has been suffering from a bog spavin, of which no trace remains. He was treated with that remedy called "Sava-the- Horse, " which all of you know, and it did save the horse — that is, it CURED him. Now, you know lots of great horses, Morello and others, were successfully raced, and there is no reison to expect that this colt will ever take a lame step." The biddinj was then opened at $250, snd the colt was sold for $800 to Mr. J. D. Smith. _^^^^^_^^^^^^^ Hotel alderman, cor. Warren and Fayette Streets, Frank Matty, Proprietor. Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 27, 1904. I have used several bottles of "Save-the-Horse" on valuable horses and cured bad tendons, curbs and many very serious conditions. Frank Matty. From the Conservative Trainer of Village Farm Who succeeded Ed. Geers and who showed Beau Ideal at the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden last fall, and won the blue ribbon In the champion stallion class, says: Village Farm, East Aurora, N. Y., Nov. 21, 1904. Millard Sanders, who trained and drove Lou Dillon, recommended "Save- the-Horse" to me three years ago at Memphis, Tenn. I used it on a bad tendon on which I had used about every known treatment without result. After two weeks treatment with "Save-the Horse" I could see improvement, and from then on the horse went sound and has never taken a lame step since. I also used it on thoroughpins and windpuffs and found it worked equally as well, as it cleaned the enlargements off entirely, and they have never come back. I have used every known blister and the fire iron, but have never had anything to compare with 'Save-the-Horse." I buy it from Becker & Wickser of Buffalo, N.

San Mateo HARNESS RACING in 1905 gives every promise of being even more popular than last year, and In every section of the East much interest and enthus- iasm is already manifest over the outlook. The Grand Circuit promises to ha,ve as many meetings with as good or better programs than ever before, and the entry lists will be as large as any previous year. Circuits are organizing in every State in the Union except California and the chances look pretty promis- ing for even our rather sleepy associations to get out of their doze after a while and show some evidences of being anxious to hold a few meetings. The sales at New York; Chicago and Lexington held within the past few months have demonstrated beyond all doubt that the light harness horse is more popular than ever with the public The fact thatprices have kept up and are better than for years past in spite of the retire- ment of many of the heaviest breeders, shows that the demand for road and race horses is on the increase. There is not a particle of doubt but the American trotter is today a more popular animal than ever be- fore in his history, and harness racing is on a higher plane than it ever occupied before. Breeding Is cer- tainly on the increase. Every stallion owner knows this to be true. The passing of the big farms where hundreds were bred every year has given the small breeder a chancethat be has heretofore not enjoyed. Colt stakes and futurities are much more numerous than any other former period, yet they receive larger entry lists, and the number of individual nominators has greatly increased. There is not a sign on the en.- tire horizon but points to a prosperous year for the breeders of the greatest of all horses — the American trotter. A MEASURE has been introduced in the California Legislature which provides for the repeal of the present district fair law, and the enactment in its place of one which will permit county boards of supervisors to appropriate money from the county funds for the establishment and holding of county fairs. At first- glance the measure appears like a good one, as it would enable such counties as desired fairs to hold them, but there is said to be a "joker" in the bill which will permit property now held by district agri- cultural associations to be sold, and the money obtained therefor paid over to the Directors. If this is true, the measure should be opposed by every right think- ing person. There are several valuable fair grounds in this State which were deeded to district agricultural societies for the purpose of providing places whereon to hold fairs. These properties should be kept and pvWNERS AND TRAINERS of thoroughbreds are ^— ' reminded that entries to the following races to be run at the spring meeting of the Washington Jockey Club at the BenniDgs track will close at mid- night of Wednesday next, February 22d: The Wash- ington Nursery for two-year-olds, foals of 1903, four and a half furlongs, $1000 added; the Jesse Brown Cup, a sweepstake for two-year-olds, four furlongs, $1000 added; the Bennings Spring Handicap, for three-year-olds, six furlotgs, $1000 added; the Spring Handicap Steeplechase, at two miles and a half, the Fourth Chevy Chase Hunt Handicap Steeplechase, two miles and" a half with the Liverpool jump elimi- nated, and the Sixth Spring Hunter's Steeplechase at two miles and a half will close for entries on the same date. See the advertising- columns of this paper for all the conditions and particulars about these events, and address all entries to H. G. Crickmore, Clerk of the Course, 511 Fifth Ave., New York. A CONTEMPORARY ventures the opinion that oiling "is a simple way of maintaining country road?." Right here is where the trouble lies. Too many road masters think that oiling is a "simple" treatment. It is anything but that. No two kinds of soil require the same treatment with oil. A manner of application that will make an almost perfect road- bed on one kind of soil, will be an utter failure on another. Oiled roads are a great success in some counties in California and a failure in others, and many are condemned because the application of oil was made in the wrong way. THE WESTERN HORSEMAN, published at In- dianapolis, issued a souvenir number, February 10th, that is one of the most creditable of the special issueB gotten out by the horse papers this season. It contains nearly 150 pages, beautifully illustrated and filled with matter of great interest to allioveis of the horse. Baywood Stud's Green's Rulus. That much success has been achieved by matiDg trotting bred mares to Hackney stallions is not to be denied. None of the breeders who have followed this plan have bred for track or road speed, but solely for park and carriage horses that have beauty of confor- mation, high action and intelligence together with sound legs and feet. The show rings of the East have furnished the proof that the hackney-trotting cross is not a failure, and here in California the Baywood Stud, of Mr. John Parrott, has demonstrated the same thing. If a record of the sales made from Bay- wood Stud during the past six or seven years were compiled and printed, it wouid surprise many who have no idea of the success which Mr. Parrott has achieved. He has never been able to supply the demand for horses of Baywood's breeding and education, and from $2000 to $3000 is often re- received for a pair. These horses were nearly all by Green's Rufus, his hackney stallion and from trotting bred mares. Owners of well-bred mares of hackney conformation Bbould make a note of this and if they desire to raise good park or carriage horses, will find that the get of Green's Rufus when out of this sort of mares will fill the bill in nearly every in- stance. They will have size, solid color, good confor- mation and the best of dispositions while the high ac- tion that is a hackney trait will almost. certainly de- velop as soon as they are broken to harness. Green's Rufus will be in the stud at $75 the season, and a re- duction will be made for two 0;* more mares. Letters addressed to Walter Sealy, Manager, San Mateo, will be promptly replied to. Mr. J. L. Cagle, of Meyers Falls, Washington, who raced part of the season up north last year writes that he expects to take in the California and North Pacific Circuits this year with a string of trotters and pacers. He has the green trotter Ringman, by a 6on of Patchen Wilkes, that promises to be a two minute performer. He also has a two-year-old Prince Almont, carrying the blood lines of Jay Gould and George Wilkes which is a very promuing trotter. Ella Fisher is another member of his stable that is quite promising. Mr. Cagle hopes the three in five system will prevail, with non heat winners sent to the barn after three heats. Among the three-year-olds out last year was the brown colt, Carlokin owned by C. L. Jonesof Modesto bred at Santa Rosa Stock Farm and trained and raced by H. S. Hogoboom. Carlokin contracted a severe illness in the summer and until a week before the. San Jose meeting his owner did not think he would be able to start him in any races but as Carlo- kin was rounding to, he concluded to let h.m contest for the money in the three stakes in which he was entered. There were some high-class three-year-olds racing it these stakes, and it took a good game colt to be in the money. Carlokin divided second and third moneys in the Occident Slake aDd won third money in the Breeders' Futurity and the Stanford Stakes. His winnings amounted to over $1200 and he won several heats and took a record of 2:20J. This ii a pretty fair record for a colt that was laid up with sickness so severe that it was thought he would not be able to start at all. No colt raced in California ever showed more of the grit and gameness that makes good race horses than Carlokin showed in his races. He was always doing his leyel best to get to the wire first but was beaten by colts that were in better condi- tion and had a little more speed. He is one of the choicest bred of the McKinney colts that will be in S3rvice in California this year. His dam is the great brood mare Carlotta Wilkes by Charley Wilkes, his second dam also a great brood mare by Alcantara and his third dam a great brood mare by Clark Chief. Any student of breeding will Eee at a glance that speed and gamenessis the natural result of such breed, ing. Carlokin will be in the stud at Jennie Lee Stock Farm, Modesto, at the low fee of $40. Address his owner Mr. C. L. Jones, for further particulars. His address is Modesto Kinney Lou 2:073, the fastest entire son of McKinney and certainly one of the fastest tiotting stallic ns ever foaled, will not be raced this year. Budd Doble states that Kinney Leu is still grcwirg £rd every horseman that looks him over pronounces him one of the grand- est looking stallions In America. It is Mr. Doble'sin- tention to race him in 1906 and will consequently only breed him next year to such mares as have the leturn privilege, and that will not be many as Kinney Lou is a very sure horse and nearly every mare that was bred to him last year is in foal. Probably no trotter that ever raced on the Pacific Coast was more popular with the public than Mary Lou 2:17, the dam of Kinney Lou. She was a great race winner and no gamer trotter ever started for the money. The opportunity to secure the services of Kinney Lou this year should not be missed. Mrs. E. W. Callendine of Sacramento, has sold her royally bred trotting stallion GuynuttoL M.Clark of the same city. The price is private. Guynutisa registered stallion, his number being 33,375 He is a beautiful chesnut by that great sire, Nutwood Wilkes 2:16}, sire of John A. McKerron 2:04}, the fastest trot, ting stallion of the Wilkes tribe, and is out of the great brood mare Abbie Woodnut, dam of Diawood 2:11 and Abdine2:17 by Woodnut. Guynut will sure, ly be a good sire as he has some colts that are fine lookers and speedy. Guynut has taken five first pre- miums at the State fairs and the Yolo county fairs. Individually he is a horse of commanding and showy appearance and his new owner may well feel proud of him. • Mr. Chas. Hubbard, of Riverdale, Fresno county, is trying to raise a few good horses and is succeeding pretty well with a colt by Atbadon and one by Dexter Prince as starters. Athadon is certain to be a great sire and although Dexter Prince is dead he has left a family already famous, and that will achieve more fame as time goes on. Mr. Hubbard's colts are both very promising youngsters. Anyone wanting a trotting stallion, high class in looks, speed and breeding, one that has pioved a sure foal getter and a sire of fine colts, should read S. H. Crane's advertisement in this issue, He has a son of Diablo that he desires to sell or exchange, but unless the trade is made within a week or two, the horse will be placed in the stud. ♦ TheKenney Manufacturing Company of 531 Valencia street, this city has just received several new Mc- Murray carts and sulkies, with extra high arch and with a very wide spread suitable for large horses with excessive action. Mr. Sylvester of Santa Barbara purchased a 1905 model McMurray this week. The trotting colt Robert C. by Gossiper 2:11 J owned by Mr. Frank D. Colburn, of Boston, worked a quarter in 35 seconds on the 7th inst. at the Pleasan- ton track. He is being trained by Mr. M. i Haywards. ®l«( ■gveetfsx arte &pavi&tn gjtptirfcffmtm Notes and News, m Three meetings will be held this year at Readville, and no purse will be less than $1000. "Senator" Henry Helman, of Portland, Oregon, will train his string in California this year. Hopples have been barred on the North Pacific Circuit this year on all events for four-year-olds or younger. The five-year-old gelding Exquisite by Mendocino, out of the thoroughbred mare Esther by Express, brought $325 at the Midwinter sale. S. H.Grigsby of "Woodland recently went to Oregon and returned with a car load of fine mules which he purchased for the California market. Homeward 2:13}, sire of George G. 2:06}, but now a geldiDg fourteen years old, was sold at the New York auction two weeks ago, and brought $385. The market is constantly seekinggood,^6avy grade draft horses and the supply is insufficient, as the heavy city transfer work is rapidly increasing and no other class of horse can handle it. The Bural Spirit says E. B. Tongue will send his three-year-old pacer, Lord Lovelace, by Lovelace 2:20, to California in Senator Helman's stable to be con- ditioned for this season's campaign. The Bozeman, Montana, Interstate Pair, will be held from August 29th to Sept. 1st inclusive, this year. There is a stake of $1000 offered for 2:20 class trotters and one of $1000 for 2:18 class pacers. Another carload of draft stallions reached Wood- land from Illinois last week — making the seventh within a year. This consignment are all black Percherons with one exception, a roan Belgian. Next Wednesday is Washington's birthday, and the residents of Pleasanton propose to celebrate the event with several matinee races. At least a dozen trotters and pacers are in training for these events. Ihomas W. Murphy, who trains the second divis- ion of James Butler's stable, will do his spring train- ing at Louisville. He has engaged twenty stalls. Mr. Murphy formerly ustd the Empire City track for his spring work. Lewiston, Idaho, has opened six early closing stakes as follows: Trotting, 2:15 class, $1000; trotting, 2:19 class, $1000; trotting, three-year-old, $400; pacing, 2:14 class, $1000; pacing, 2:09 class, $1000; pacing, three- year-old, $400. The Spokane Interstate Fair announces that it will give this year $1500 for 2:11 class pacers, $1500 for 2:15 class trotter9, $600 for three year-old trotters, $600 for three-year-old pacers and $500 for two-vear-old trot- ters. These are the early closing stakes. Mr. I. C. Mosher is training the very handsome black colt Nocturno by Alfonso at Los Angeles and states that he is showing much promise. Nocturno is owned by Mr. G. A. Westgate of Albany, Oregon, and ia one of the best bred stallions on the Coast. Mr Geo. E. Lattimer, of Buffalo, a wealthy business man and' popular amateur reinsman and owner, who spent last winter in California, is coming out again to get the benefit of the sunshine of the Coast. He attended the Midwinter sale at New York two weeks ago and picked up two real bargains in a yearling brother to The Abbott z:03} and a filly by Direct Hal 2:04} out of a mare by Dare Devil 2:09. Dictatus Medium, owned by R. P. Latbrop of Holli- ster, is getting to be a very popular stallion with breeders. His colts are all fine lookers, with size and plenty of natural speed. Dictatus Medium has a trial of 2:11. He is a half-brother to Stam B. 2:11}. A runabout with wooden wheels, pneuma can be had at a bargain, away below cost, if you see Kenney at 531 Valencia street within the next few days. Mr. Oak Duke, of Wellsville, New York, who pur- chased Direct Hal at the Midwinter Auction for $11,000 refused the sum of $18,000 for him two days after. H. H. Dunlap of Pleasanton will probably send his fast Steinway mare Explosion to Los Angeles to be bred to Hal B. 2:04}. The result should be a whirl- wind pacer. Dexter Girl seven-year-old mare by Dexter Prince, dam Violet by Electioneer was one of the several hun- dred that went through the Midwinter sale. She brought $485. Zephyr 2:11 by Zombro 2:11 is in Ed. Geer's string at Memphis and word comes from there that he thinks she is one of the best prospects for a 2:05 mark that he ever handled. Hollister track is one of the best spring and sum- mer tracks in California. It is kepi in excellent shape and the charge for stall rent is but one dollar per month per stall. Joe Wattles, of Oxford, Ind., who first raced the champion pacer, Dan Patch, has a full brother and a full sister to that famous sidewheeler. Both are said to be extremely promising. •Ex-Gov. Morgan G. Bulkeley, of Connecticut, has been elected to the United States Senate, Mr. Bulkeley is as well known in horse circles as in the political arena, having been connected with the National Trot- ting Association at Hartford, also with Charter Oak Park. J. L. McCarthy & Sofi, the well known live stock auctioneers of Portland, Oregon, will hold their third annual horse auction at Irvington Park, Portland, April 11, 12, 13 and 14, four days. They expect to sell a hundred horses a day. The market is good at Portland. Cleveland will be in the Grand Circuit after all, and the week beginning July 31st, has been allotted the Glenville Park by the Grand Circuit stewards. Glen- ville has a new Mayor and he is not one of that sort that has a spasm every time a speed contest is mentioned. Breeders who visit the San Jose track and look Coronado 2:)2i over begin talking right away about booking mares^to this magnificent son of McKinney, and when they see him taking his exercise they generally close the transaction right there. He is a grand stallion. The New York State Fair commission has decided to ask the Legislature to appropriate $30,000 for the Grand Circuit races to be held at Syracuse in con- nection with the state fair. The business men of Syracuse will probably guarantee a $10,000 stake in addition to the regular purse races. Mrs. Sarah J. McCarty, wife of Dan McCarty the well-known horseman, died February 9th at the East Bay Sanitorium, Oakland, after a brief illness. Mrs. McCarty was a woman greatly esteemed by those who knew her and her husband and four children will have the sympathy of all who know them. The McKinney-Onward cross is a good one, as the only time it was ever tried in California, China Maid 2:05} was the result. Petigru 2:10} is a good repre- sentation of the Onward family and ne is just the out- cross for McKinney mares. Breeders should remem- ber that Dolly, the dam of Onward, was also the dam of Director. Forty Shire horses and mares, mostly the latter, were sold at the annual draft saleof Mr. Victor Caven- dish, M. P. at Holker Hall a month ago in England. The average price was within a few dollars of $500 per head. The highest figures were realized for the two- year-old stallion Rokeby Pretender, $2050, and $1900 for Birdsall Calamint, his sire. Who Is It 2:10} by Nutwood Wilkes is still quite a horse, or he would not bring $610 as he did when put up at auction by the Fasig-Tipton Company at New York two weeks ago This gelding has passed through a good many sales, but seems to bring a pretty fair price every time he is offered. J. H Reid of Newark, New Jersey, is his latest owner. It is claimed that Ina Barondale 2:15} by Barondale was the fastest Iowa green pacer out last season, as she was only once behind the money in her thirteen starts; all over half-mile tracks; worked easy miles in 2:12, with halves in 1:03, quarters in 30 seconds and never made a break in her races. Her friends think she cau pace a good mile track in 2:06. The Grand Circuit events at Detroit will be decided by the same methods as will those at the Buffalo meeting, the three-heat plan, every heat a race, for a portion of the purse with an extra portion to the horse standing best in the summary at the end of the third heat. The Cleveland, Empire City, Columbus, Readville, Hartford and Cincinnati purses will be decided by the same method. Pacers that are outclassed do not bring big prices at sales. At the recent Midwintersalein New York the following prices were paid for pacers that a re supposed to be "marked for life:" Gyp Walnut 2:08J, $550; Dr. Madara 2:08, $925; Mustard 2:08}, $900; Diavolo 2:09}, $860. It may happen, however, that some of these pacers will go out aDd win many good races when they get iD the hands of new trainers, or have had a year's rest. Secretary W. H. Knight of the American Trotting Association reached San Francisco from Chicago last week for a short stay. Mr. Knight will propabiy journey to the southern part of the State before he returns home. He is very lucky in escaping the cold snap that has visited the Mississippi Valley during the past week. It is a pleasure to record the fact that Mr. Knight's health is greatly improved as a result of his visit to the Coast last year. The Memphis correspondent of the American Sportsman writes that; Geers has good hopes of Stanley Dillon 2:07:}. He expects him to improve over his last year's form, although he was one of the big- gest money-winning trotters in 1904, having the $10,000 Merchants' and Manufacturer' stake to bis his credit, besides winning five other races, a total of six wins out of eight starts. This hor6e went wrong last summer just when he appeared to be at his best, and broke down when trotting in the Charter Oak Stake at Hartford in September. An ailing leg put him on the shelf for the remainder of the season, but last fall it was blistered and pinfired, and dow the leg is strong and sound. He should stand hard work thid year. Chimes, the only stallion that has sired three trot- ters in the 2:0(5 list, sold for $2350 at the Midwinter sale He is twenty-one years old but strong and vigorous and it is a pity some enterprising Californian was not present at the sale to pay a little more for Electioneer^ greatest son and bring him back to hi9 native heath. Chimes will be in the stud in New Jersey this year at $75. At the same figure he would much more than pay for himself in California this year. Robizola 2:12} is being used in this city as a road mare, and is for sale by her owner, Dr. Clark of Santa Rosa. The daughter of Robin makes a great roadster, and there is little doubt but she could beat her record if trained and raced again. She won two races at Columbus. Ohio, in 1903, in two days and the slowest heat was 2:13 Not many horses can stand such severe work as that, but Robizola is Done the worse for it now although it probably was the cause of her training off at the time. Quite a number of mares have already been booked to I Direct 2:12} that is making the seaEon of 1905 at Sacramento in charge of Prof H. B. Frtemac Mr- Mabry McMahan, owner of I Direct is much pleaded with the appearance of the colts by I Direct that he has seen, and well he may be, as they are an extra fine lot and have perfect dispositions. McKinney mares bred to I Direct should throw race winners. The Director and McKinney families are the great race winners on the Grand Circuit. Bo D'Arc, the chestnut stallion by Conifer, dam Pastora by Judge Salisbury, will make the season at San Jose. Conifer is the sire of Bonnie Russell 2:10}, one of the sensational trotters of 1904. Pastora first dam of Bo D'Arc is also the dam of Johnnie Trouble 2:22}. The second dam of Bo D'Arc is by A W. Richmond, the third dam by The Moor, and fourth dam YouDg Vermont Morgan. He is sixteen hands high, weighs about 1100 pounds, and is a very hand- some horse. He will sire size, style and speed. Mr. C. M. Drais, of Farmington, is now the owner of that grandly bred McKinney stallion, Guy Mc- KiDney, and will stand him this year at Farmington and Oakdale at $30 the season. Guy McKinney is out of Flora Drais by Guy Wilkes, second dam Blanch- ward, dam of China Maid 2:05} by the great Onward, third dam by Mambrino Patchen, fourth dam by Privateer 258 and Ifth dam by Abdallah 15 This is high class breeding, and the fact that Guy McKinney 's colts are showing up well is therefore no surprise. The Stewards of the Grand Circuit recently adopted a revise schedule of dates, thus: Detroit, Mich., July 24 to 29; Cleveland, O., July 31 to August 5; Buffalo, Aug. 7 to 12; Empire City track, New York City, Aug. 14 to 19; Readville, Mass., Aug 21 to 26, Providence, R. I., Aug, 28 to Sept. 2; Hartford, Con., Sept. 4 to 9; Syracuse (New York State Fair), Aug. 11 to 16; Columbus, Sept. 18 to 23; Cincinnati, O , Sept. 25 to 30; Memphis, Oct. 16 to 28. The Lexi- ton, Ky., meeting, though not in any circuit, has tbe two weeks between the Cincinnati and Memphis meeting. The last foal produced by the famous Estabtlla, dam of Heir-at-Law 2:05}, Prince Regent 2:16}, Princess Royal 2:20. etc., is the yearling brown colt The Amateur by The Beau Ideal 2:15} WheD this baby trotter was sold at the New York sale there were a number of well inown horsemen who started in the bidding, but the successful one was J. L. Druien of Bardstown, Ky., who owna one of the greatest collec- tions of broodmares in tbe Blue Grass State. He sent a commissioner to the sate expressly to buy this colt and he got him for $S50, he beiDg the only offering he purchased. Strathway is now twenty years old, having been foaled in 1885, and is as strong and vigorous as any horse half his age. Mr. S. Christensen has booked several mares to the sire of Toggles 2:08} and John Caldwell 2:11} already aDd Strathway's book will soon be full A gentleman who has bought and sold as many high class roadsters aDd race trotters as tbe next Californian remarked the other day that those who owd the get of Strathway never have to look for buyers, as buyers are always looking for them. By the way, a typographical error in some of the Strath- way cards sent out gives his vear of foaling as 1895. It should be 1885. " ^_ Mr. J. W. Kelly, of Victoria, British Columbia, a former resident of Pennsylvania, has recently pur- chased a beautiful 200 acre farm near his new home, and it is his intention to raise some well bred trotting horses and Jersey cattle thereon. He recently pur- chased from Mr. C. A. Harrison, proprietor of the Hotel Driard of Victoria, the mare Sophie McKinney, and the fact that she was nominated in Breeders Futurity No. 5 was the cause of the sale, as Mr. Kelly says that a mare nominated in a good colt stake is worth money when she is sired by such a great horse as McKinney and stinted to a great sire like Nutwood Wilkes. Mr. Harrison writes that he hopes the prospective foal may be a two-minute trotter and a winner of the Breeders Futurity. "We may imagine the earliest herds of horses in the lower eocene period, "says awriterinthe Century Magazine, "as resembling a lot of small Fox Terriers in size, only eleven inches, or two and three quarters hands at the withers, covered with short hair, which may have bad a brownish color with lighter spots, resembling the sunbeams falling through the leaves of trees, and thus protecting the little animals from ob- servation. As in tbe Terrier, tbe wrist (knee) was near the ground, 'be hand was still short — terminat- ing in four hoofs, with a part of the fifth top (thumb) dangling at the side.

S &he gveebev cm*r gtpovtstntm [February 18, 1905 Direct Is the Golden Cross. The big prices brought by the Direct family at the closing out sale of the Village Farm horses at Madisbn Square Garden were freely commented on by visiting horsemen as further evidence of the growing popu- larity of this great strain of winning blood. It is remarkable how the blood of old Clara, the dam of Dexter 2:17}, continues to breed on. Fashions in families come and go, but for a period now covering some forty years, when the tests of the race track or sales ring are applied, the Director family appears to be always at the front. Village Farm has bten breeding trotters for about fifty years, and was the oldest and most successful breeding stud in the country. Yet the last new strain of blood which C. J. Hamlin was wise enough to in- troduce was valued more highly than the fruits of nearly half a century of remarkably successful breed- ing. Direct Hal 2:04}, although a pacer, and practi- c illy untried as a sire, brought the top price — $11,000 — and is considered a bargain at that figure; for his oldest son, Lord Direct, a green four-year-old pacer, out of Lady of the Manor 2:04}, sold for $10,500, the nest highest priced one in the consignment. Prince Ideal, a remarkably well bred four year-old trotter that has shown sensational speed, brought the third highest price, $10,000, and his sire Beau Ideal 2:15} sold for $6000. He is an eight-year-old son of Thomas W. Lawson's Dare Devil 2:09, out of Nettie King 2:20}, dam of The Abbott 2:03}. The Beau Ideal's youngsters are a high-class lot, and sold well. His oldest foals are four-year-olds. Four of them average $3370 each. Seven of his yearlings average $770, and five two-year- olds average $755. Young blood and individuality are what breeders are evidently after, and willing to pay for. Mere pedigree doesn't count as it used to do, and the glamour of great names without the individuality doesn't seem to go far. The following comparative table of highest prices for the same number of head of the three leading families in the Village Farm consignment will serve to show how the public valued them: DIRECT HAL AND HIS FAMILY. Direct Hal sold for SI 1 ,000 His three highest priced rour-year-olds for U,610 His highest priced three-year-old for 835 His seven highest priced yearlings for 3.3S0 Total for twelve head $27,825 BEAD IDEAL AND HIS FAMILY. Beau Ideal sold for .$ 6.000 His three highest priced four-year-olds lor 12,9?o His highest priced two-year-old for - 2,500 His seven highest priced yearlings for 5,385 Total for twelve head $26,860 CHIMES AND HIS FAMILY. Chimes sold for i 2,500 His three highest priced tbree-y ear-olds for 2.515 His highest priced two-year-old for 1.400 His seven highest priced yearlings for 3,700 Total for twelve head $10,115 The price of Chimes was disappointing to many, but then he is in his twenty-first year, and has seen much stud service. Considering his pre-eminence in siring extreme speed, as well as his royal breeding, his new owner ought to have a rare bargain. Dictator, the grandsire of Direct, sold at relatively the same age for $25,000 and was a profitable pur- chase. This was over twenty years ago when general values were lower than they are now. Director 2:17, when 16 or 17 years old, sold for $75,000, as reported at the time, but this was during the big boom in trot- ters. Directum 2:05} sold a few years ago for $12,500, the highest priced horse in the Spier dispersal, and more than any of the late Marcus Daly trotters brought. Direct Hal 2:04} is looked upon as one of the coming great sires of speed, and so is Directum Kelly (4)2:08}, another son of the ex-champion Direct 2'054. Rey Direct 2:10 and Bonnie Direct 2:05} are two other sons that have sired some sensationally fast and highly valued youngsters. Direct is hale and hearty, holding court with his son Directum Kelly at East View Farm, less than an hour's ride from the city. James Butler, the proprie- tor, is to be congratulated upon the ownership of two such famous stallions. As a sire of extreme speed Direct is in a class by himself. He has now four whose records average faster than the fastest quartet sired by any other trotting-bred stallion, and apparently his career as a winniDg sire is only beginning. It looks now, however, that he is destined to be much more than a leading sire. Hambletonian'B greatness consisted, Hrst, in the speed he produced, but far more in his ability to sire so many sons greater than him- self. Direct is giving strong evidence of the same capacity. He has sous that already promise to excel him as a sire. If this promise is fulfilled, then Direct be toe founder of a family as much in advance of >li Ionian as Hambletonian was in advance of old Messenger. When this is done the sons of -ill have pushed the limit of speed below two minutes, as the son6 of Hambletonian pushed it helow 2:10. Jay-Eye-See, the first 2:10 trotter, was by Dic- tator, grandsire of Direct, and the first trotter to beat 2:05 was from a daughter of Dictator. Direct is siring a higher rate of speed than Dictator or Director, and it is strictly in line with the family history for hi& sons to carry it a step further. Certain it is that it pays better to breed into the Direct family than any other. The summaries of the race tracks and the records of the show ring prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Direct is today the golden cross.— JY. T. Herald, Feb. 5, 1905. Death of an Eastern Horseman. The Chicago Horseman contains the following ac- couut of the death of Frank B. Williams, which occurred in Southern California last month: Frank B Williams, well known to Grand Circuit horseman, died the other day in Southern California, whither he went about a year ago in search of health. Mr. Williams, whose home was in Corning, N. Y., was not only a familiar figure on the more prominent trot- ting tracks, but he was also one of the most popular men who ever had to do with harness racing. Some- thing like five years ago he came into prominence as owner of the pacing stallion Charley Hayt, son of AllertoD, which from the first day he was trained showed phenomenal speed. W. L. Snow trained Williams' horses from the start, the young man always having one or two of Grand Circuit caliber in the Hornellsville driver's string, and on more than oie occasion the pair pulled off notable victories. Williams himself was a born horseman, and nothing delighted him more than to act as voluntary assistant to Snow in his training operations. He would be at the track early in the morning to "work out" the horses in which he was interested, and until every- thing connected with that angle of the sport had re- ceived his earnest attention he had no time for any- thing else. Later in the day, attired in the most im- maculate manner, he wa9 to be seen on the lavn watching the races. Beirjg a man of independent for- tune he was able to indulge his fancy for backing the animals of his choice, and his judgmentof the trotters and pacers was so good that his ring operations showed a profit every season. He was in no sense of the word a plunger, but at that did not hesitate to put down his money in chunks when a horse whose preparation he had looked after was to start and Snow was in the sulky. - — Answers to Correspondents. William Green, Los Angeles. — Greenlander, 2481, black stallion, foaled 1882, is by Princeps dam Juno by Hambletonian 10. His record is 2:12. There are a half dozen mares named MollieR and you will have to particularize further before we can state pedigree. Cannot find any mare registered by the name Picture Girl. H. G. Hewitt, Healdeburg. — Having mare and foal in your possession, you can hold same until al legal charges against .hem are paid. The French Government does not own all stallions in France, but we understand there are annual Government shows wheretwo-year oldB compete for prizes and the win- ners can be purchased by the Government at stated prices. We do not know' whether accepted and re- jected horses are branded under the mane. Many Sales at Big Prices. A letter from McLaugbliu Bros , the importers and breeders of draft and coach horses, written under date of Feb. 3, 1905, says: "The large importations of our stallions that arrived last month are, at the present time, all in very good condition, and we are already offering a great many of them for sale. Nearly all of our World'9 Fair famous prize winners have been sold, and we are glad to report to you where a great many of them have gone.

Many yearsof observation and experience have taught horsemen and veternarians that a constant supply of Craft's Distemper & Cough Cure, used as a tonic once or twice a week, completely protects the equine from the above named and other germ diseases. A supply may be had from druggists or direct from the makers, (Veils Medicine Co, 13 Third street, Lafayette, Ind. Free Service to a High Class Stallion.

A free gate and purses ranging from $400 to $600 will soon deplete the purses of the magnates, and as in all such aff iirs, it is just a question of which side will stand the loss longest. Racing in a place like New Orleans cannot possibly be conducted by two clubs at a profit to either, and indeed it is doubtful if it can be made to pay in a city even thesize of Chicago. Speaking of the latter place, well-posted men declare there will be no racing in the Windy City this season, for no law has been passed in Illinois re- lieving the strain on track owners and the Civic League declares it will see that the law against bet- ting on horse races is enforced from this out. That will settle it. In Missouri the bill repealing the Breeders' law and prohibiting wagering on horse races has passed the lower house of the Legislature unanimously, and there must be some magnificent optimists in that State when they declare they have enough votes in the Senate to stifle the proposed bill in that body. In Tennessee a like measure has passed the lower house, in Ohio such a law is already in force, likewise in Minnesota and Wisconsin, so that as mat- ters stand it looks as if the Middle West track owners, who are generally in the game "for revenue only," will have to confine themselves to Kentucky, Indiana, Arkansas and Louisiana. In this State even, a measure will be up for passage before the Assembly in a very few days advising the estoppage of betting on horse races, and while it will hardly pass, its author, Mr. Espey, "has hopes." My idea is that the bookmaking and corruption by dis- honest persons in racing has resulted in the feeling prevailing against "the running game." If the totalizator or Paris Mutual were substituted for the knight of the chalk a different state of affairs would exist. It might take a little time for bettors to realize that it was a better plan than the one now in vogue, but they would see it shortly, and there would not be the questions asked that one hears daily hereabouts, such as: "Wonder if is trying? " "Have you seen any 'wise money' go on ?" "Do you think will take that price against his horse?" and others not even as pleasant in tone as these. With the coming of the totalizator would come an end to corrupting jockeys and "dividing sheets" with dis- honest owners or riders on horses that are sure to be played heavily. In order to win, a winner would have to be picked, and the corruptionists would be sent to the highways and later to jails, where they belong, the atmosphere being cleared in one season as no turf laws could clear it (where booking was allowed) in ten. As to the financial part, race track owners would reap a richer reward than at present, and it can be shown very easily. I will, for example, say that "the game" at Emeryville supports twenty books, on an average, the SGason through, and counting an additional $100 for "the fielders, " $2500 per day is realized from this source. These books will average $1000 each per race, or $20,000, and for six races $120,000 will be handled each day. Some books, of course, do not take in over $500 per race, others will go over the $1500 mark, so that $1000 per race is not wide of the mark. Figuring on a charge of 5 per cent for the use of the totalizator, $6000 would be taken in by the club as against $2500 at present. If racing were placed under State protection and say 5 per cert went for the pay- ment of salaries of a Racing Commission, the reBt to the fostering of the State and district fairs, there would be a big surplus for the club, which could raise its purses and stakes to double their present value, and this is, after all, supposed to be the chief aim of racing organizations. At Los Angeles and around San Francisco they will race respectively 125 and 165 days each season, and Bay that $500 per day were realized to the State when both tracks were in opera- tion and $300 for San Francisco, the total would be $74,500. Other meetings throughout the State (the fairs and all others) would bring the total receipts up to over $100,000 per year from the use of the totali- zator. In South Australia, where "the machine" was first used, the clubs have increased their purses three- fold in ten years' time, and New Zealanders have the same tale to tell. The change in the systems has made a great change in the public also. Lovers of racing came to a realization that they were playing against a "square game, "not a "brace" affair, as it was when the bookmaker was dealing the cards. As books are operated now, they seldom have less than 5 per cent on their side of the ledger, and from that to thirty per cent, bo that the public would be the gainer if the totalizator were put into use, the clubs managing the racing would realize twice the sum they do at present oyer the betting end of "the game," purses would naturally be raised and the owners and breeders greatly benefited financially and, as said before, the turf would be rid of its "hold-up" men and "pirateB" who live off the dishonesty of riders and owners. The wonder of the turfdom is the employment of Joseph A. Murphy as presiding judge by Edward Corrigan, at a salary of $5000 per annum, presumably for acting at New Orleans, Hawthorne and Elm Ridge. In his old age Mr. Corrigan seems to be putting aside his strong dislikes and coming to a realization that the patrons of racing desire the best judicial talent to be had. Judge Murphy has no peer as a racing official, to my mind. No man is quicker to see happenings during, before and after a race than he, and he is thoroughly just. His trouble with Mr. Corrigan dates back seven or eight years and it was over his action in saving Tom Williams from being declared a turf putlaw at a Turf Congress meeting. Mr. W. had steadfastly refused to join any governing turf body, and over this Mr. Corrigan thought he would have the Williams tracks declared "outlaw" and at the earns time "even up" an old score. Judge Murphy had influence enough to prevent this by the narrow margin of one vote, and it was not thought that Mr. Corrigan would ever forgive him for thus upsetting his plans, but he evidently has and in the St. Louisan he has secured a man commanding the respect of the entire racing community and everyone else with whom he comes in contact. The successful stallion Puryear D and the Morello horse, Morellito, are now owned in Marin County by a Mr. Mason and quartered on his farm are thirty odd mares, many of them purchased by "White Hat" McCarty and a majority by El Rio Rey and Rey del Sierras. Dr. Leggo by Puryear D. is the best three- year old in this part of the world, and has been shipped to Los Angeles to win the Ascot Derby. Bellona, winner of the first race at Emeryville, last Tuesday, is by Beau Ormonde, the fleet son of Ormonde and Miss Brummel. It is the first of his get to start. Mr. Macdonough owns the filly which ran 3J furlongs in 424 with 104 lbs up. Ralph H. Tozer. Register Horses Young. All those who breed pure bred horses (pure-bred animals of any sort, for that matter) should be prompt to register them as soon after birth as pos- sible. There is no saying what heaps of trouble may be Baved, not to speak of cash, by business-like atten- tion to this particular point. As a sample of what may happen if registration is neglected the following incident of which we have knowledge may be related : A certain man having a desire to move into a far country bargained to sell all of his horses in a band. He had certificates for all but two— a two-year-old filly and a suckling. The buyer refused over $1000 of the purchase price uutil these two certificates were forthcoming. With the foal it was easy, for the ven- dor bred her, her sire and her dam and he could make the necessary affidavits. With the two-year-old it was otherwise. He had not bred her. It was nec- essary to get the affidavit of the owner of the dam as to the service. The man. come to find out, had been dead for about a year. The rules for registration provided a long and tedious method of getting around such a difficulty. It was months before a cer- tificate was obtained. In the meantime the seller could not start on his journey. He had to go hither and thither in order to procure the necessary evi- dence and if it had not happened that the original owner of the filly had during his last mortal illness taken the pains to record her dam so that her value might not be destroyed in large measure it would have been fairly impossible ever to have attained the regis- tration of the two-year-old. The buyer refused to re- cind the transaction in whole or in part. He wanted, he said, what he had bought and he would not let the $1000 placed in escrow leave the bank's custody. After a lapse of several months, and infinity of trouble and vexation and a eost of nearly $200 the certificate was obtained. Had the Ally been registered when she was three or four months old all would "have gone smoothly and well. It would hardly be the part of wisdom to record foals at ten day 8 old, but they should be recorded when about three months old. At any age the color may most generally be properly distinguished and what marks a foal has maybe seen then as clearly as at any later period. In the event of there being any possibility of a dispute as to the exact hue of coats the facts may be sufficiently stated in the application for a certificate. But that does not so much maUer for the reason that if a mistake does occur in naming the color of a colt a correction and registration may bo obtained. The main point is to have the recording effected promptly so that in any event disputeB and consequent losses of time and money may not arise. Of course, in the abstract it is not well to lumber the books up with the names of a lot of horses that are dead and some purebreds do die before they are a year old or at some other young ages, but the percentage is so small that if all the pure bred foals should be recorded be- fore they were past three months old there would be little dead wood in the books compared to what there is under the system now chiefly in vogue, which is of a very procrastinating nature. Another point to be urged in addition to promptitude is accuracy in every detail connected with making out the application. It is astounding, if not something more, to see some of the applications for registry forwarded to the secre- taries of stud books. In one instance where the affidavit of both the owner of the sire and the owner of the dam at time of service is required one man sent in an application without either and when informed that the affidavits were absolutely necessary got mad about it and declared that if they would not take his word they could do without his money — which they did and he without the recording of his horse. It is necessary to keep things straight generally and to prevent fraud that certain safeguards be thrown about the system of registration and every one who breeds pure-bred horses should do his utmost to help along the good work of keeping false entries out of the books. Not alone that, but it must be remembered that secretaries and their assistants are but human and liable to err and when they receive blundering applications errors are semetirr.es made despite their best efforts to keep them out. The best way in making out an application is first to read over the instructions for doing so most carefully. Then read them all over again and wheD they are thoroughly understood fill out the blanks, being careful to supply just such information as is asked, and no more and no less. We have seen an application rendered practi- cally valueless because the applicant had after setting down all that was wanted mixed it all up higgledy- piggledy with a mass of statistical and extraneous in- formation utterly irrelevant to the matter in hand. The application had to be returned with the request that the extra information be left out and delay resulted. Another thing, it is pure foolishness to think that the secretaries play aDy favorites. They do nothing of the sort. One man gets just what the other gets, no more and no less, unleBS of course there is some- thing very radically wrong, which condition is sure to right itself before long. Because a secretary de- clines to accept a man's word for something which should be sworn to does not prove that he "has it in for" the applicant. On the contrary it proves that he is doing his duty and should show that one man gets no more than the other. From an intimate knowledge of and acquaintance with many secretarial officials it may be safely alleged that they are as a rule a thoroughly representative set of men who ad- minister the affairs entrusted to their keeping honestly and in a business-like manner. They deserve the thorough co-operation of the breeders, which may best be given by recording stock young and convey- ing in the application ju6t such information as is asked for and in the manner asked for, no more and no leas. — Breeders' Gazette. Pony Racing at Ingleside. Those who areinteiested in the charities which will be beneficiaries of the meeting of the California Polo and Pony Racing Association at Ingleside race course on Washington's Birthday are working actively for its success. Mrs. Henry T. Scott, Mrs. Francis J. Carolan Bnd others will entertain parties, seme of which will go down in special electric cars, while others will avail themselves of the special race train. This will start from Third and Townsend streets at a reasonable bour, returning immediately after the last race. There are a number of ponies in training at Ingle- side at present, and there will be several additions during the next few days. The extensive string of Rudolph Spreckels is at the track, and the various ponies are working strongly. Midlove, the diminutive daughter of Midlothian, is at the track as sound as a dollar. She worked a fast quarter. She showed some temper, which indicates she will need some strong handling at the barrier. Charles W. Clark's ponies are expected at the track daily from their home track at San Mateo. Secretary Robert Loighton received the first entry Tuesday for the two-mile steeplechase through the field. This was from John Lawsoo, who named his big hunter Vanity to carry his colors. The jumps, while formidable looking to the spectators, will be safe for the well-schooltd hunters which will start.

Field Publishing Co., Chicago. GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. FEDERAL GAME PROTECTION. Sportsmen the country over are vitally interested in a bill fathered by Representative Sniras and pro- viding practically for Federal game protection of migratory fowl such as the wild ducks. This is beyond any doubt the most praotical way of getting at the market hunters and other enemies of the birds who follow them from North to South in their migrations, and thereby obtain shooting nearly all the year around. It Is also the only feasable way of making the game laws a terror to those whose respect for closed seasons and limits is in direct proportion to their fear of being punished. Few men would "monkey" with the Fed- eral law, though many take chances on county ordin- ances without giving the consequences more than passing thought. The salient features of the Shiras' bill are set forth in the following: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives of the United States of America in Con- gress assembled, that all wild geese, wild swans brant, wild ducks, snipe, plover, woodcock, rail, wild pig- eons and all other migratory game birds which in their northern and southern migrations pass through or do not remain permanently the entire year within the boarders of any State or Territory, shall here- after be deemed to be within the custody and protec- tion of the government of the United States and shall not be destroyed or taken contrary to regulations hereinafter provided for. "Sec. 2. That the Department of Agriculture is hereby authorized to adopt suitable regulations to give effect to the previous section by prescribing and fixing closed seasons, having due regard to the zones of temperature, breeding habits, and times and line of migratory flight, thereby enabling the department to select and designate suitable districts for different portions of the country within which said closed sea- sons it shall not be lawful to shoot or by any device kill or seize aDd capture migratory birds within the protection of this law, and by declaring penalties by tine or imprisonment, or both, for violation of such regulations. "Sec. 3. That the Department of Agriculture, after the preparation of said regulations, shall cause the same to be made public and shall allow a period of three months in which said regulations may be ex- aminee and considered before final adoption, permit- ting, '.,-hen deemed proper, public hearings thereon, and a ier final adoption to cause same to be engrossed v - bmitted to the President of the United States Droval: Provided, however, that nothing here : led shall be deemed to affect or interfere with the local laws of the States and Territories lor the protection of game localized within their borders, nor to prevent the States and Territories from enacting laws and regulations to promote and render efficient the regulations of the Department of Agriculture provided under the statute." The only objection to this measure that can be raised is general regret at its tardiness. The mi- gratory game of the United States should have been under Federal control ten yetrs ago at least. Sports- men the country over would do well to write their Congressman, asking his support of the Sbiras bill. ENFORCE STATE GAME LAWS. The Los Angeles Tiynes has taken up a theme often advocated by this journal and pertinently reiterates the subject as follows: There has been too much jockeying with the game laws. What California needs is not a new batch of game and fish regulations every two years, but an intelli- gent, indiscriminate enforcement of those, now'on the books. If it be thought advisable to reduce the bag limit to twenty-five ducks in order to have a uniform figure and still further curtail the butchery of the State's wards, all well and good, but the crying need of the hour is not "legislation" but "enforcement." Game laws without enforcement are a joke. No statutes in the Penal Code are less likely to be taken seriously. In many sectionsof the State — Tulare Lake for instance— the bag limit is a jest and not even a pre- tense is made of its observance. Faithful obedience to the game laws is a matter of education and the sportsman-public sometimes seems woefully ignorant. It is a lamentable fact that there is practically no provision made by the State for compelling men to respect the game laws. A Board of Fish Commission- ers is appointed and a few deputies, but they are un- able to cover a tenth of the field. Game and fish form valuable assets to a community, they have been proved more valuablein the field than in cold storage. The State's title is clear; why then does it not protect its own? The legislators at Sacramento may quibble over bag limits and districting of the State if they will; they may listen to this side, and to that; they may give the sportsmen a better law than the piesent, or a worse one. It makes comparatively little difference what they do unless they make some provis'on that brings the mailed hand of authority into the breach. It would be a pity if this fog of "bag limit" "dis- tricts" and "license" were permitted to obscure the real want — the crying need of the State's wards which is, "Protection that protects." Verily, let there be light in the legislative halls at Sacramento. STATE GAME LAW LEGISLATION. The outlook is favorable against much of a fight over proposed fish and game legislation this session of the Legislature — except over the bag limit on ducks. This question, it is reported, will have to be tried out in both branches, however, but practically all other points at issue have been about settled. The bill championed by the California Fish and Game Protective Association, prohibiting the sale of ducks in the markets has been withdrawn, practically, and other drastic features of proposed legislation have been abandoned as the result of mutual conces- sions by the State Fish and Game Commission and the representatives of many gun clubs. The Fish and Game Committee reported favorably says the Sacramento Bee, the bill leaving the bag limit on ducks at fifty, and approving the varicus features of an omnibus bill which has taken the place of the several independent measures treating of fish and game legislation. Assemblymen George T. Rolley of Humboldt threatens to fight for the opening of the duck season on October 1st instead of October 15tb. The amendment to the bill of Drew of Fresno con- ferring police power upon deputies of the Fish Com- mission in the matter of searching piemises where it is believed the law is being violated it is claimed would rob that measure of its effectiveness. The bill as introduced by Drew gave the right of search to deputies of wagons, railway trains, steam- ships, 6tores and houses, without search warrants in all cases where there was reason to believe that fish and game laws were being violated. The bill has been amended in such a way as to ex- empt private and public cold storage plants from search, this exception will render the bill ineffective to a great degree. BILL TO LIMIT SEINING. The bill introduced by Hon. Cbas. M. Shortridge which is designed to limit the work of net fishermen and keep them from seining in a zone extending 1000 feet on each side of every wharf seems to have been prompted by salt water anglers down in tbe southern part of the State At San Diego, WilmingtoD, Redondo beach, San Pedro, Santa Monica and numerous other favorite resorts of the sea fisherman the inroads of the net men have been a serious menace to a continuance of both the sport and the fish supply. Hence to curb the rapacity of the alleged fish slaughterers the southern knights of the bamboo rod rushed post haste to Sacramento, the apparently common refuge of the individual with a grievance, and had presented the bill mentioned. We believe the measure is a good one and should have the support of all sportsmen anglers. The southern fisheimen have made a move that local anglers should have aone long ago. As the matter now stands the local food fish supply is in the hands of a cold blooded trust- incidentally the bay anglers' sport is in jeopardy, for the net men often make their best hauls right on the fishing grounds of the anglers, in fact the net men have frequently laid up until they found out where the rod and line fishers were getting fish and then they would "butt in." A report from Los Angeles shows how the situation is viewed down south. Sea fishermen the State over are making a concerted effort to persuade the Legislature to pass the bill recently introduced by Senator C. M. Shortridge establishing a limit to the operations of seiners. Shortridge thinks he can obtain the legislation desired if the sportsmen stay with him in the fight, and to that end several petitions have been circulated among local anglers by Harry Slotterbeck and others who fish. These have been signed quite generally and are still open. The conflict between sportsmen and seiners is no new thing in this county, having been fought out several years ago when the local Board of Supervisors acceded to the demands of the anglers in a compro- mise measure of 250 feet which has not been an un- qualified success, though it curtailed to some extent the operations of the net gentry. No county ordi- nance carries the weight of a State law, and the 250- foot limit -was iound not enough owing to the con- tinual encroachments of the violators. Considering the vast amount pj territory available to the pro- fessional slaughterers of infant fish, it was thought reasonable enough to ask for a thousand feet. The local petitions will be sent North before the middle of the week, so it behooves the anglers to lose no time if they desire to add their mite to the offering of signatures that will be sent to Sacramento as back- ing for Mr. Shortridge. SPORT WITH THE YELLOWTAIL. What the Southern California anglers are fighting for, their main reliance for sport with rod and line as it were, will be readily seen in the following notes respecting the fishing at San Pedro recently. The importance of curbing the net men— whose opportu- nities will be in no way impaired, is a matter of vital interest. The festive yellowtail has been standing his admirers on their heads with all manner of unseason- able pranks duriDg the past fortnight. These amber- finned beauties are popularly supposed to be a summer product, Dot to be located in winter without a search warrant, and only to be caught by a series of fortuitous accidents, says Scribe Hedderly. Whether for the same reason that drove the pompano into San Pedro bay, or just to "show their authority" like the cop on the corner, the big gamy fellows have now been in evidence for several weeks along shore and good catches of them have been the rule rather than the exception, although this is the month of January when fishing outside is supposed to be at its lowest ebb. Parties which went to the breakwater last week encountered a big school of yellowtail inside the end of the government work, and had a piscatorial picnic for several hours, catching a Dice box of the finny athletes and losing at least as many more. Farther out in the channel, where the albicore and bonita are supposed to be at home, occasional leaD, roving ' 'razor backs" are encountered, one Long beach boat catch- ing three last Monday. The sport with big fish inside at San Pedro has been unprfcedentedly good and skilled rodsters have succeeded in taking three or four in a day when a liberal supply of live bait could be secured as wanted. Veteran anglers are at a loss to account for such do- ings and declare they never knew anything like it before, as the yellowtail, even when drawn inside by following the sardine boat as she comes home from successful hauls, seldom linger long but usually hie themselves back to the open sea at once. This winter a plentiful supply of small fry in the bav has assured the big fellows food, and that is douDtless tbe ex- planation of their staying around thesardine canoery. . The sport with kingfish, smelts, pompaDO and "herriDg" has been injured a little by the yellowtail though small tackle wielders succeed in getting all the fry material that they can use or care to give away. J A. Cox, W.G. and Joe Boyer and Harry Harrison of Nebraska went outside during the week od a trol- ling expedition and caught thirty-three gi od sized fish, nineteen of them being bonita. When the Nebraska gentlemen saw these black and silv r beau- ties boardiDg the boat after the wild, whirling fight characteristic of their courageous kind, wonder was freely expressed and by the time twenty of them had been boated, several anglers were about ready to cut their moorings and jump overboard in the excess of their joy, having never before experienced anything like it. The same party trolled through the kelp between Point Vincent and Point Fermin, catchiDg eleven three-pound bass and three big yellowtail, which were unanimously voted to have "taken the cake." The tourists brought back somefearful, won- derful tales of their experiences. The fishing all along shore has been quite good dur- ing the week, and prospects are a shade better today than is usual at this season. A few eorbina have been caught at Huntington Beach. Plenty of bass, sheeps- head and whitefish can be had at the breakwater out- side San Pedro, and the trolling seems worth while too. ■ ONE OF THE OLD GUARD. "Boh" Liddle was a prominent figure in the coterie of local sportsmen in the early 70's. As an exemplar of the phrase "Dead game oH sport," Mr. Liddle has possibly, the unchallenged distinction of being alone in his class. For among the thousands of devotees of the shotgun hailing from this city or any other point on the Coast, for that matter, what individual of them over 80 years of age will be found who can go out on February 18, 1905J ®h& gveeftev ants gtjK»rtsroim 9 a marsh and loaded down with the weight of gun, ammunition, gum boots, etc., sit in a blind for several hours and shoot nearly two dozsn ducks over the decoys? Bob Liddle, now eleven years beyond the alloted three score and ten mark, accomplished without ex- tra fatigue a duck shooting stunt two weeks ago Sun- day on the salt marsh near Alvarado that is not often exceeded by hunters half a century younger. He was the guest of Mr and Mrs. George Franzen at their comfortable ark near that station, and had gone over the day previous for the purpose of enjoying a duck shoot — "one more before the season closed," as he put it. With most ail sportsmen it would be regarded as "curtains" so far as the gun was concerned; not so with Bob. Mr. Liddle, who is well preserved and full of ginger, waB piloted out'Sunday morning and in- stalled in a blind. He shot for several hours, during the flight, and accounted for 18 ducks — sprigs and teal, principally. These birds were all bagged on wiog shots. Anyone who has tried teal in flight will understand that the old sportsman had notJost his old time skill of pointing the "spout" to the right place. What makes this performance the more re- markable was that he deliberately left his "specs" in the ark. When he returned from his shoot he carried without fatigue the bag of 18 ducks, gun, etc., the whole impedimeata being an extra weight of at least 75 pounds. Mr. Liddle will be remembered by the "old timers'' and also a few of the younger generation as an expert gunsmith. In the late 60"s the sporting goods store of Liddle & Kaeding, on Washington street, below Montgomery, was the headquarters of the shooters and anglers of the city. A shotgun or rifle was not looked upon as worthy of ownership until the opinion of Bob Liddle on its merits was obtained. In the old days of pigeon shooting at the Pioneer race track, San Bruno, Bay View, etc., Mr. Liddle was a con- tender with the most skillful shots of that day — most of these old-time sportsmen have gone over the river long since. Mr. Liddle was a noted expert in making or repair- ing any kind of a firearm, and to this day can do work, old as he is, that is not excelled by younger artisans. Recently he restocked two shotguns, the gun he used in bagging the ducks was one that he had made himself. Taken all in all the old veteran's shoot on Sunday was a marvelous performance, the re- counting of which will be read with pleasurable sur- prise by a large number of sportsmen, many of whom know by repute Bob's mettle, but few are wise to the sturdy route he can still travel. AT THE TRAPS. The local blue rock season will commence on Wednesday at the Ingleside grounds. The shoot will be under the auspices of the Golden Gate and Union Gun Clubs. A good program has been arranged as follows: Event 1 — 15 targets, entrance SI. Three moneys, Rose system. Event 2 — 15 targets, entrance SI. Class shooting, 50, 30 and 20%. Event 3 — 20 targets, entrance $1 25. Four moneys, Rose system. Event 4 — 20 targets, entrance $1 25. Class shooting, 35, 30, 20 and 15%. Event 5 — 20 targets, entranco $1.25. Enyart system (with three side pools). Event 6 — 15 targets, entrance $1. Reverse system. Class shooting 50, 30 and 20%. Other events will be arranged if time permits. The Golden Gate Gun Club regular monthly blue rock shoots will be held at Ingleside on the first Sun- day of each month, commencing March 5th and end- ing on September 3d. The Union Gun Club blue rock schedule for this season at the Ingleside grounds will start with the first club shoot Sunday March 19th. The regular shoots will thereafter take place on the third Sunday of each month. A slight change in the date of the California Wing Club live bird shoots is announced for this season. The regular club shoots will be held on the second Sunday of each month instead of the first Sunday monthly as has been the custom for years past. Trap shooting promises to have quite an impetus this season. An encouraging outlook for the sport is tne number of new beginners that have joined the scatter-gun brigade. An indication of the enthusiam prevailing in the ranks of the new shooters is shown in the following remarks of a shooter who two seasons ago hardly knew one end of a gun from the other. It will be noticed that he is a pretty close observer and has used his short application to the sport to an intelligent end. He says: 'The recreation is a superb one and is followed by men all over the country. Like other pastimes, there are various styles. At the trap some men lean for- ward; others put both feet together and keep upright. It's all a matter of taste. There is one point that I got onto and that £ ever try to observe. In live pig- eon shooting when there are five traps 1 usually cover the center one of the five traps. "I have read that a prominent Eastern shooter ad- vocates watching the three traps to the right. That isn't good, it struck me, for the reason that, suppose a bird came from the extreme left trap, he would not see it for some time. Watch the center and you can see on all sides. As soon as the bird is trapped cover it to get in the first load while it is within five yards of the trap. If missed remember that time is one of the important points of the game, and don't waste any in getting the second after it. "Blue rock or target shooting I found, is entirely different from live bird shooting, and requires much quickness. The whole secret lies in leading and swinging. Any shooter who has a habit of swinging ahead of a target, then stopping to pull the trigger, will never make a good target shot. It is almost im- possible to be too quick at target shooting, as at 35 yards the load has s much better and closer pattern than at 40 yards. The distance that is generally used between the score and trap bulkhead, is sixteen yards, and sometimes as far as 22 yards. The time that elapses from the instant the target leaves the trap till it has gone some 25 or 30 yards is about two to four seconds, according to the strength of the the tension of the spring, and is generally thrown from 50 to 60 yards." The Committee expresses the hope that there will be a prompt all around response in order that it may make its recommendation intelligently in this matter at the May meeting. DOINGS IN DOGEOM.

The discussion at the December meeting as to the interpretation of certain rules, followed by the meet- ing of the Rules Committee, obliges us to give special warning to the exhibitors on the subject of filling in entry blanks. To avoid cancellation of wins at shows, the follow- ing points must be carefully noted : If the name of a dog is not given precisely as registered, even to the proper spelling, and if any mistake is made in the stud book number, date of birth, breeder, sire or dam, the award must be can- celled. If the stud book number of a registered dog is not given, the award must be cancelled. Should any of the above particulars be unknown to the exhibitor, it must be so stated on the entry b lank as "breeder unknown," "date of birth unknown," etc. If this is not done, the award must be can- celled . It is not sufficient to have the name alone correct, or the stud book number alone correct: every detail of the entry must be correct, or the award must be cancelled. — American Kennel Qazette. CARELESSNESS OR MISTAKES IN ENTRIES. In reference to the warning to exhibitors and show secretaries published in the American Kennel Gazette, the A. K. C. Rules Committee considered the matter of changing Rule III, Section 2, Governing Clubs, at a meeting held January 18th. It was the opinion of the majority that the rule should stand as it now exists, as any change would open the door, or countenance, greater careles6neSB on the part of exhibitors. The minority conclusion was that errors of spelling dogs' names, or leaving off any initials or numerals in connection therewith, which, under the present rule, disqualify a dog's win, with injustice to theexhibitor, could be avoided by the amendment to the section, after the words "registered names," "such names to be identified by the registered number." The committee concluded that the matter of any registration change being of such importance that it would be preferable to first hear from the bona fide breeders and fanciers throughout the country. With this in view the committee invites communications upon the following points: Whether the rules governing registration should remain as they now exist, or whether there should be required notarially signed certificates from the own- ers of sire and dam to correctness of pedigree of any puppy to be registered which is born after July 1, 1905. Whether there should be required a certificate ped- igree from the Kennel Clubof the country from which a dog is imported to be attached to the application for registration by the owner of such imported dog, SPRING SHOW NOTES. The President's trophy, donated by Mr. Chas. K. Harley, will this year be awarded to the best dog or bitch shown in the largest class of any breed exhibited. Mr. Wm. Ellery will donate a cup to be given to the best pup, dog or bitch, exhibited by a member of the Golden State Collie Club. Mr. Hugh McCrackin, secretary of the Golden State Collie Club, Btates that there is now twenty-six paid up members on the club roll — with a fair number to hear from yet. Among those representing the out of town membership are Thos. S. Griffiths of Spokane, Mrs. W. E. Bogen (nee Delia Beach) of Campbells, Norman J. Stewart of San Jose and O. J. Albee of Lawrence. Two lately imported English Fox Terrier cracks are now on the Eastern circuit. They are recent purchases by a local Fox Terrie:' fancier and will be entered at the S. F. K. C. show and possibly one or two of the Northern shows before arriving here. PRIVATE FIELD TI1IAL. The difference of opinion respecting the merits of of Attorney McWade's English Setter Tonopah (Clipper W. ) and Jas. W. Dunham's English Setter Plumas (Cavalier-Love Knot) was settled by a trial contest between the dogs that took place last Sunday near Bodega cross roads, Sonoma countv. The race was conducted under field trial rules and was run for about four hours. Both dogs made a good showing, and were going better at the end of the heat than many dogs do after a run of half that length of time. A Bmall attendance of sportsmen were on hand to view the trial. The judges were William Dormer, J. W. Orear and H. B. Jeffrey. The loser enter- tained a party of ten at a dinner Plumas was bred by P. D. Linville. Dr. C. E. Wilson bred Tonopah. GLEN TANA KENNEL NOTES. The demand for well bred Collies seems to be good at present judging from the announcement of recent sales by the Spokane kennels sent by Manager Donald McGregor who writes us: "I am glad to report the following sales of Collie pups this month, viz.: Bitch and dog to Rosalia, Washington; dog pup to 5-Mile Prairie, Washington; bitch pup to Colfax, Washington; bitch pup to Hotch- kiss, Colorado: dog pup to Bend, Oregon." YOUNG COLLIE CHANGES OWNER. Dr. W. P. Burnham recently sold to Mr. D. T. Murphy of this city, the Collie dog Sunset Marvel (Brookmere Masterpiece - Ch. Brandane Dolliel. Marvel was shown here last year. He is looked upon as one of the beBt headed young dogs on the Coast. He is one of the litter Brandane Dollie was in whelp with when she came out here to Dr. Burnham. CALIEORNIA COCKER CLUB The club exhibit of Cockers will be an attractive feature of the May show. President J. Hervey Jones states that besides the regular club medals a number of valuable cups and trophies have also been donated as prizes for winning Cockers owned by club members. The club has a large membership and is in a very prosperous condition, better now than at any time in its history. Besides a strong local membership, the club includes a list of members located in various Coast cities and towns. Mrs. E. F. Willis of Portland, Dr. C. W. Sharpies of Seattle, Mr. Hugh Maldin and Mrs. Mason ef Sacramento are among the prominent out of town fanciers who are members of the club. LOS ANGELES BENCH SHOW. The Southwestern Kennel Club contemplates hold- ing a show early in March. The officers are: Arthur Letts, President; George R. Albers, Vice-President; James Ewins, Secretary; William Kennedy, Treasurer. The bench show committee is composed of the fol- lowing gentlemen: W. J. Morris, James Ewins, F. J. Gillespie and Frank Dimond. The committee on prizes includes: Arthur Letts, Count Von Schmitz, Dr. Steddom, Paul Peiper, Dr. Scroggs, Geo. W. Manwaring and Ernest Laux. WANDEE KENNELS. Mr. Charles K. Harley was in attendance at the Westminster Kennel Club show in New York this week. It is reported that Mr. Chas. Lyndon, manager of the Norfolk Fox Terrier Kennels, Toronto, Canada, for eome years past, has been engaged for Wandee Kennels. Mr. Lyndon will take Ch. Norfolk Veracity with him. NELLIE P. DEAD. Mr. F. H Jermyn, a well known Eastern sportsman, who usually visits the Coast each winter, had the misfortune to loBe that good Pointer bitch Nellie P. last week. Nellie was at Kenwood Kennels and while taking a run in charge of W. B. Coutts showed symptoms of illness. Coutts immediately took the bitch home and attended to her but unavailingly for she died the same night. Mr. Jermyn purchased Nellie from J. W. Flynn at the recent Bakersfield trials. ILLEGAL PRACTIONERS. Under the above head, the Western Veteri the official organ of the California State Vel Association publishes a list of persons reported a 10 (Tin- gvsebsv cmfc gtportautaiv [February 18, 1905 ea<^ed in the practice ol veterinary medicine, none of whom possess a certificate as required by law, hence tnev are designated "illegal praetioners of these persons insist that they do not practice veterinary medicine within the meaning of the law.

COAST ADVISORY BOiKD COMPLIMENTED. The current number of the A. K. GnzzetU is em- bellished with a full page containing portraits of the Coast Committee. The style and appearance of the illustrations are in keeping with the following com- mendatory paragraph: "We give in this number the portraits of the mem- bers of the Pacific Advisory Board, with the excep- tion of that of Mr. H. H. Carlton, whose photograph unfortunately did not arrive in time. The Pacific Advisory Board was formed in 1895 after a visit to the Coast by" Mr. A. P. Vredenburgh. "In his speech on that occasion be said: 'Recogniz- ing the expediency and mutual advantages derived from a bond of union between the Kennel Clubs of the Pacific Coast and the National Body, the American Kennel Club, in its desire to foster and keep alive the kennel interests of this great country, has conferred upon me the honoi to represent it. * * *. ' The rules of procedure adopted by the Pacific Advisory Committee were submitted and approved the follow- ing vear. "The resolutions passed on July 23, 1904, disqualify- ing all officers of Clubs holding shows under the rules of the Western Kennel League, or under rules other than those of the American Kennel Club, west of the 110th degree of longitude, was by far the most import- ant action yet taken by the Pacific Advisory Board. "Mr. De Ruvter became a member of the Board in 1897, and Chairman in 1899. Mr. H. H Cariton and Mr. J. P. Norman, the present Secretary, became members in 1899. Mr. Harley "and Dr. Burham joined the Board a few years later. "Mr. De Ruvter is a popular and influential Chair- man, and Mr. J. P. Norman an active and intelligent Secretary, and with the advice of the other members of the Board, who are thoroughly interested in all kennel matters, the Pacific Coast affairs are in good hands.'' A CASETE PORCUPINE. An armor coat for dogs, says Forest and Stream, designed to serve as a protection against automobiles, is the invention of a New Yorker. The coat is stud- ded with many sharp, steel spikes, creasing a.steel- spined porcupioe, as it were. If the armored dog is run into by an auto the sharp spikes will puocture the tire, and the rush of air from the busted rubber at once blows the dog away and out of danger. We might suggest that when the dog was not filling in time by putting stink-wagons out of business that the owner could use his spare moments to advantage by training the dog to roll over. Thus, in passing a fruit stand or on a surreptitious visit to the corner grocery, at a given signal the dog could indulge in a frolicky roll over a tray of apples or through a box of praties" and then make tracks for home barnacled with a cargo of acceptable pick-ups for the larder of a small family. This stunt might be used ad lib as occasion offered. Ch. Cato Jr. is slowly recovering from his injuries and Dr. Steers is sanguine of bringing him out in good shape, under the circumstances. Cato has shown his worth as a producing sire, English Setters fanciers will be pleased to learn that there is a strong probability of the dog being saved for stud benefits. Angling Club Meeting. The California Anglers' Club recently organized will hold a meeting on Monday evening in Grant Hall, Pioneer Building, on Fourth street near Market, for the purpose of permanent organization. Indications are that the charter roll will be closed with the signatures of 200 members. The committee on club rooms will endeavor to se- cure conveniently located headquarters on Market street. The club" rooms will be handsomely Sited up and no doubt will prove to be a favorite rendezvous for many anglers. Among the membership of the new club are to be found devotees of rod and line who seek sport in both sweet and saline waters and whose selection of resort is not confined in locality. Now that the salt water possibilities of our bay and Coast waters are becoming better known and appreciated there is a field for ap- plication and development that, considering past re- sults, will no doubt be exploited with benefit to the club and the Individual angler. The possibilities for the "good of all concerned" that may be developed and fostered by the new club can be readily understood when the work accom- plished by the New York League of Salt Water Anglers is "taken into consideration. This organization started off on somewhat similar lines and club membership that the California Anglers' Club has. There is now afilliated with the Eastern association some 150,000 anglers. Of course, the vast majority of this grand body of anglers are wedded to salt water recreation. This choice, how- ever, is more a matter of environment. A a strong factor ih controlling fish law violators, the proper observance of the New York fish laws, in -;:ngthe rapacity of the market fishing cor- •-5 and also in obtaining legislative action for fish protection and to restrain infringement of anglers' rights the New York organization has been mighty and potent. Its nucleus was not a tithe as strong as the California Anglers' Club, but is has had a healthy and increasing growth from the start and now stands as the respected champion and guardian of Eastern anglers' interests. What career may be in store for the newly organ- ized club is not a problem; but a certainty, for it has been organized on the right lines and has good mate- rial in its membership. So, to the new club we will sav — Success, go thou and do likewise. Medicine in Camp. A few weeks since some one of your readers asked for an article upon how to fill a medical case that had been presented to him, and I have waited for some of my professional brethern to comply. In the last issue a gentleman made some good suggestions relative to the practice of medicine in the woods — suggestions that may be followed with a great deal of profit by the average woods loafer. With the kind permission of the editor. I will attempt to amplify his sketch somewhat, in the hope that what I shall say may be of value to my hunting and fishing colleagues writes Dr. Chas. S. Moody in Forest and Stream. By far the greater number of causes for the hunter to resort to the healing art will be in the various accidents that may befall one. Here the old saying that "cleanliness is next to godliness" should apply with all the force possible. If a wound of any charac- ter is kept absolutely clean, there is very littledanger of it giving much trouble. Dirt is the surgeon's abomination. Follow out the first aid suggestions of the U. S. Army and do little else. The first bottle in the case should be filled with antiseptic tablets, known among physicians as Bernay's Tablets. Tney are made in wnite ano blue, as there is less danger in con- fusing them with other tablets that you may carry in the case. One of thsse dissolved in a quart of "hot water makes the ideal antiseptic solution for all cuts and wounds; and aside from washing thoroughly and binding up in a pad of absorbent cotton saturated in the solution, little else need be done to any incised, punctured or contused wound. Carry a halfpound of pure surgeon's cotton, three or more two-incb rolled baadages, and one yard of sterilized corrosive gauze in a buttle. These will make you a full supply of surgical necessities Be careful to not do too much. Meddlesome interference will work harm. Resort only to simple measures in all cases of surgical nature. Your correspondent of last week suggested cocaine. Well, cocaine is a good thing in the hands of a surgeon, and a very bad one in the hands of a layman. Still, there is nothing that will allay pain like it, and if you see fit to fill the second bottle with that drug, let'me advise you to get it, not in the cry=tals, but in tablet fcrm. One tablet wiilr when dissolved in tbe hypo- dermic, makes a 4 per cent solution which is strong enough to render anaesthetic any superficial part of the body for a time long enough to perform any simple surgical opera tion— such as extractingsplinters or fish-hooks. Let me caution you to be very careful in its use, however, as certain persons are very sus- ceptible to its action. Morphine sulphate, 4 grain in tablets, is a very valuable adjunct to the case. The indications for use are commonly known — pain being the most important. I do not approve of the use of the hypodermic by lay- men, and would suggest that you use all remedies by the mouth whenever possible. One tablet of morDhine by the mouth every two hours will allay pain fully as well as by hypodermic, and with far less risk to you. In all congestive conditions such as colds, fevers, etc., you will find that three-grain doses of quinine will be invaluable. Therefore, carry some capsules of that drug in the next bottle I will say this to you, unless you use at least eighteen grains — that is", six three-grain doses in the course of one nigh. — the quinine will do you no good in colds. The other gentleman spoke of Sun cholera tablets. I have found a preparation called "Chloranodyne, " as prepared by Parke, Davis i Co., far superior for conditions of that character to anything that I have ever had occasion to use. Given In fifteen-drop doses, it will relieve any choleric condition that it has ever been my misfortune to meet. I use it on my owe per- son; and you know when a doctor uses a thing him- self that it must be all right. You will do well to take some calomel tablets, say i-grain. or else some C. C. pills, which amounts to the same thing In the beginning of fever, colds, etc., and in fact all places where the system needs a good over- hauling, there is nothing equal to a grain of calomel, given in broken doses. As a fever eradicator, there is nothing that will take the place of phenacetine, given in five-grain tablets every three hours. The action is to produce profuse sweating, and persons with a weak heart will do well to be cautious. Certain persons are very apt to to find out when they approach the higher altitudes that they are possessed of a heart — something that never occurred to them before. A few granules of digitalin will re- lieve the feeling of suffocation, and may be the means of saving a life. Therefore it may be well to carry one bottle with digitalin. It is a thing that you will not need, unless there is some heart disease lurking about in your system. Coughs and colds are a very common ailment, especi- ally during the fall and winter seasons. One of your case bottles supplied with a combination tablet com- posed of senega, ammon, bromide, tinct. squill, tr. aconite, ex. grindelia, ex. guiac, an J supplied to the drug trade under the title Senega Compound, will be ? valuable thing in the winter coughs. v, let a stick of silver nitrate be wrapped in blue paper and placed in one of the case bottles. This is the caustic par excellence, and may b6 applied to poisoned wounds or bites, stings, etc. Cauterize deep, and then stop the action of the drug with common salt. You will notice that I have said nothing about snake bite remedies. The reason is this: There is not one case in ten thousand where the common rattle- snake kills a man. I have lived in a snake country all my life, and have never known a full-grown man to' die from the bite of a rattlesnake. Children ana weak persons do die, but not full-grown healthy men. At the same time it is not pleasant to run the"risk and I will tell you what to do. In the first place, there is no medicine that has a bit of influence upon any snake bite The remedy for the virus of snakes is asyet un- discovered, consequently it would be folly for you to carry a lot of drugs under the assumption that ycu could cure yourself if bitten. The remedy par ex- cellence is to remove the poison, and no other is of any avail. Wasb the wound clean, and make an in- cision across it down deeper than the fangs of the serpent penetrated, then suck the virus out, washing your mouth out with warm water. Do this several times. Before all, though, when you are first bitten, tie a handerchief around the limb above the wound and twist a stick intoit, making an improvised tourni- quet. In half hour loosen the bandage for a short time and allow a little of the poison to flow into the circulation. In this manner you may instil the poison gradually, and the system will take "care of it. After having sucked the wound out fully, you may cauterize it well with the caustic. Then, above all things, do not get rattled. Keep cool and you aie in very little danger. I have no knowledge of the bites of the Southern snakes such as copperheads, mocca- sins, and cotton-mouths, but see no reason why they should be any worse than rattlesnakes. The sooner people lose their fear of snakes, the simpler the problem of treating their bites will be Appendicitis was mentioned by someone. When a doctor does not know what to do in these cases, there is little probability of your being able to do very much. Appendicitis is a" matter for the surgeon. If you should have an attack of the disease in the woods, simply do nothing and you will be doing the wise thing. Tbe average case of appendicitis will right itself as far as can be, under absolutely no treatment whatever, and every attempt at treating it only ren- ders the matter more complicated. In my ownwork here in the city, I do not give one dose of medicine. I shoot them into the hospital as soon as possible and proceed to remove the offending organ. I should hardly advise your attempting it, however, while out in the hills. The natural tendency of persons ill with ordinary complaints is to recover; therefore let your treatment be of the simplest. In some future article, with the kind permission of the editor, I may try to set down some simple rules for surgical cases that will meet the ordinary require- ments. Trap Shooters of 1905. The records made by the "Old Reliable" Parker gun at the traps last season was a continuance of an unbroken series of high-class work with one of the best American guns in use for over a quarter of a cen- tury. Parker Bros, have issued a catalogue this year that every devotee of the shotgun should have. A request addressed to Parker Bros., 30 Cherry street, Meriden, Conn., will receive prompt mail response. Single Trigger Guns. The Hunter single trigger gun is a model of the L. C. Smith guns already very much in demand. From general returns the gun is a go with shooters. Re- ports from Coast shooters who have used tbis single trigger gun are so favorable that a number of orders from prominent Pacific Coast experts have already been received. As the cracks do, so do observing shooters who want the best. As a trap gun, for live birds and target shooting, those who have used the single trigger are liberal in praise of it. This single trigger is the successful result of several yoars' all- round tests and has been found to be perfect. An attractive catalogue, fully illustrated, may be ob- tained by mentioning this notice and addressing the Hunter Arms Co., Fulton, N. Y. Averages Reported. Rahway, N. J., January 14th, J. S.

A feature in breeding live Etock is the temptation which constantly menaces the breeder to sell bis best animals. The tend of public demand is for the best, and as animals os extra quality will command nearly doubleone of inferior grade the breeder is continnally tempted to sell the tops of his flocks and herds. This is particularly the case in breeding hordes. The buyer when be visits the farm is at- tracted by the better animal and bids an attractive price for it, while the stock of common quality is neglected. Perhaps with the breeder he is compelled to lose the opportunity of sale or else part with the best horse on the farm. . In the improvement of all classes cf livestock only the best animals should te retained for breeding purposes. TVhile a good sire will impart extra quality to his progeny, it is conceded that the dam has much to do in governing the quality of the foal. It is an unwise policy to place all the burden of improvement on the sire and condemn tvie stallion if the foals out of ordinary mares are not of superior quality. In the era of low prices farmers made the mistake of Eelling their best mares for commercial use or export, and find themselves handicapped now when values have reacted to the highest level in the history of the industry. Consumers want the best horses that methodical breeding can produce, and farmers to supply this demand must retain their best mares for breeding purposes It is bad economy to sell their best mare on the farm, even at a strong price, for if stinted to a good sire she will reproduce herself in her progeny, and in a few years the farmer will have several good horseE for sale, as against none if he retains in* ferior animals for breeding purposes. The farmer should grade his horses and sell only his inferior mares until he be- comes fully stocked, when the progeny from his best mares will all be of excellent quality The farmer should he master of the situation and sell only such animals as are not necessary for the maintenance of his herd to the highest standard of ex- cellence. The situation of the horse in- dustry is in the control of farmers, and if intelligently managed will pay larger profits than any other branch of livestock husbandry.— Goodall's Fai mer. impure by the accumulated dropping?1 can not be nourished and strengthened as those grown and fattened in pure air and on sound grain. In order to get the greater number of eggs, the hens must be in a healthy | growing condition, neither fat nor poor 'Either extreme will retard the formation i of eggs. Whatever point be desired in a stcck j fowl, it is to be considered that there is some one at least of the several varieties 1 in which that point has been particularly developed to afar greater degree than can be found in any ordinary barnyard fowl. i There is some one fowl in which that ! qnality is the leading characteristic, and I which is therefore the best for the pur- j pose desired. Charred bone, as well as charred corn, is good for poultry, for the Eake of the I charcoal, which is very healthy for them, purifying the blood and aiding the diges- , tion. But this charred stuff does not possess the food value of the raw bones, on account of the animal oils contained in the latter, which are consumed in the charring process, fresh bones, when ground, are the most valuable, being full of animal matte.-. The selection of a variety is not to be governed by any rale. It is a matter for the judgment of each individual: but in the exercise of such judgment the in- ] dividual should have eertain things defi- [ nitely in view. In other words, he should know what results he wisnes to secure, I for there are breeds and varieties answer- ing every purpose. If he wishes eggs j mainly then be should select some of the I breeds famous for their egg-producing ' qualities ; if for meat or market then one I of the larger breeds, according to the s quality of meat wanted and the demands j of the market intended to be supplied; if | for general purposes, there are breeds , combining the characteristics of all ; and j if for oddity or beauty, there are those • which please the eye in these respects. So as between varieties answering the j same purpose, the selection should- be ' largely a matter of taste. o i Corn is not as good a feed for growing hogs as oats, wheat, bran and such feed. j Corn tends too much to fatten. They furnish lime, mineral matter, | potash and other necessary ingredients for the growing hog. '.r'z^z^ Good Ones Fop Sale. So man ever g-ot rich or had a fat herd by saving his corn and hay.

The State of Chihuahua, Mexico, con- tains the largest farm in the world. Its greatest length is 200 miles and width 150 miles, containing 15,000,000 acres of land. It supports 1,000,000 cattle, 750,000 sheep and 100,000 horses. Its owner is Don Luis Ferrazas, the richest man in Mexico. The residence of the owner cost $2,000,- 000 Mexican money— $8.86,300 United States coin— and is one of the finest fin- iBhed and furnished mansions in the Re- public. The marble quarries of Italy fur- nished large quantities of the finishing ' material, and a hundred of the most : ekilled artisans of Europe labored to pro- duce the most artistic effects. To operate this vast estate over 1000 men are needed— gardeners, farmers, cow punchers, horse wranglers, sheep herd- ers, etc. A packing plant which useB 100,000 head of cattle and 500.000 sheep yearly is part of the equipment of this ranch, and is the only packing house in Mexico. It handles nothing but stock grown on the ranch, and is modeled after the big packing houses of the United States. The grade of Btock kept on this ranch is not that ordinarily found in Mexico. Over 2000 pure-bred beef bullB have been imported from England and the United States. Inequality of horses and Bheep have been improved also, until the beBt stock in Mexico ia now found on the Ferrazas ranch. Nearly $SOO,000 have been expended in reservoirs, wells and pumping apparatus for furnishing water for the vast herds and flocks of the estate; for months of extreme drouth frequently come in that country and all living springs are dried up on the plains. Water is pumped by Bteam, oil and wind engines. The experimental work of the United States iB watched closely, and the crops found suited to dry conditions are grown on the Ferrazas ranch, with the idea of providing food enough to carry the stock through periods of extreme drouth. Prairie fires are one of the greatest hin- drances to successful ranching in Mexico. Daring the dry seaso i millions of acreB of grass are burned up, depriving herds of their food and cremating thousands of animals. On this ranch fire stations have been established at various parts of the range, and watchmen are on the lookout for fires at all times. The principal method of fighting these fires is by dragging heavy log chains through the blaze and by plowing furrows parallel to and in front of the fires. It sometimes requires several days to sub- due a prairie fire, and often hundreds of thousands acres are burned over and much stock lost.— Stockqrowers' Journal. Sponges. S.

The sheep men are jubilant over the results of the lambing Beason, which is now drawing to a close with a higher per- centage of lambs than was ever before known Bince the industry started. John Mulqueeney, who is the pioneer in this line in this section, stated to a Herald representative one day last week that he had never seen as good a Beason in the thirty-five years he has been engaged in sheep-raising in this section. Not only has the weather been mild but the feed is well advanced and possesses unusual strength for the season so that the ewes are strong and the lambs are consequently well nourished. Patrick Connolly came down from hiB Corral Hollow sheep range Sunday and stated that of the number of lambs marked he averaged better than 120 per cent, which means that there are 120 lambs for every 100 ewes. This is re- garded as a phenomenal record, the only season which approached it in results was in i886. He reports that his neighbors are all doing equally well. — Livermore Herald.

There are few farms that are not adapted to sheep. A few sheep should be kept on every farm, and a great many Bheep should be kept on some farms. Farming is changing rapidlv. Good farmers are manufacturers and they are getting down closer to manufacturing details yearly. Instead of selling raw material the best farmers in the country sell very little except highly fancy pro ducts, and the list of these products are multiplying rapidly In the matter of live Btock sheep when kept in small num- bers and careful management return per- haps the largest dividends of any stock kept on the farm, but in all mixed farm- ing the business of sheep raising cannrt be carried on as extensively as other branches of live stock. The percentage of profit, therefore, may be greater than that in other stoiK, but at the same time it will not pay, on Eastern farms at any rate, to make a specialty of sheep to the exclusion of other things. On the aver- age American farm probably sheep should be considered more as a side issue than a main farm problem. As a side issue they may be neglected to a certain extent and Btill prove profitable, but if made the main issue the owner must be prepared to live with them almost night and day to get satisfactory returns. In sheep raising the labor problem re- solves itself into a very simple matter when sheep are raised as an accessory to other farm work. No line of farming can do without labor, but sheep raising prob- ably requires less in proportion than any- thing else that returns a reasonable profit. Taking the past five years the average price of sheep has ruled about a cent a pound higher than cattle and during the whole history of sheep raising in the United States the business has been ex- ceptionally profitable. At present prices probably it is not advisable to buy exten- sively because sheep have now apparently reached the top notch. As in other busi- ness the pendulum swings back and forth, ii tarries but a short time at either end of the trip. A man who keeps sheep for ten veavs is very Bure to get his share of the higher prices. cMURRAY | And LOW PRICES, McMURRAY SULKIES and JOQQINQ URTS STANDARD THE WORLD OVER. .^Address, for printed matter and prices, W. 3.

STALLIONS ADVERTISED. NO HORSE RACING is to be permitted at the California State Fair hereafter if the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means is to have its way. According to a dispatch which was sent out from Sacramento last night the committee mentioned has decided to recommend the passage of the bill appro- priating $180,000 to be expended on the new fair grounds at Sacramento, "provided there shall be no more horse racing held in connection with the fair." It is hoped that when the bill comes up for passage that the Assembly will have more sense than the com- mittee and strike out of the bill such an absurd and foolish proviso. Speed contests between horses, or "horse racing, " if one chooses to call them by that name, at district and State fairs have always been and always will be one of the chief enjoyments of the American people. The very best citizens of thi9 re- public have owned and raced horses, from Wash- ington, the father of his country, down to many of the best and purest statesmen of the present day. There is no more evil in a properly conducted speed contest between horses than in a milk or butter contest between cows, or a prize contest between manufacturers of threshing machines. The breeding and sale of horses is on6 of this State's greatest industries. It was thought of enough importance for a man of the late Senator Stanford's intelligence and ability to expend many thousands of dollars upon, and he raced the products of his farm at the district and State fairs with bene- fit to the breeding industry of the whole State and to the harmless edification of the people. There are two kinds of horse-racing, one for gambling purposes only, the other to improve the breeds of borses. The The trouble with many of our legislators is that they do not seem to be able to understand the difference between the two systems and class all racing with the sort that caused the extension of the California State Fair to two weeks to enable it to thrive. Every State in the Union that amounts to anything permits racing at State and county fairs. The California legisla- ture will be doing a foolish thing as well as injuring a leading industry if it follows the dictation of the Assembly committee above referred to. TROTTING BRED.

Ripen the cream properly and try say, 56 degrees. The butter should not come in leBS than 30 to 45 minutes' churning, and when it comes the granules should be fairly firm, so they will not readily coalesce or smash together. If the temperature is too high, the little granules will not keep their shape, and it is impossible to wash out the buttermilk, and in our attempt to work it out we ruin the grain of the butter and the butter will retain too large a per cent of moisture and will go off flavor quietly. It ia gen- erally a good rule to churn at as low a temperature as is possible to get the butter within one hour's churning where the churn is not over-filled. The dairy cow to make us a profit muBt he housed in a camfortable stable these cold and wintry days; thus we admon- ished at an institute a few days ago. "But," said a practical farmer, "with feeds so high and dairy products 80 low, we cannot afford the expense of building such stables as the speaker advises; our income does not warrant such an outlay." Then another practical farmer spoke thus: "I know my cowb were very un- comfortable and I was uncomfortable milking and doing the chores. While the weatherboarding acted as a windbreak, the temperature on the inside of the stable waB nearly as low as on the out" side, and I knew it was unprofitable, but I began to feel that it was inhuman. I collected old newspapers (they were plenty after the campaign) and pretty heavily covered the entire inside, and over all this I put some heavy hardware paper that cost but little. Next I went to the sawmill and purchased some waste boards very cheaply and boarded up the entire inside of tne stable. Now the stable is perfectly comfortable, the cows eat less and give more milk, and while I keep no particular account, I know those cows have already paid all I invested in the extra milk produced, and on Sunday morning when I go to church there is just alittleless weighton my conscience." During all this time we kept our mouth shut and the audience learned a lesson from a neighbor that may be more con- vincing than an hour's speech. — L. W. Lightly in National Stockman. Dairy Notes. A stunted calf is an unprofitable piece of property. Scald with water boiling hot all vessels used for milk. The good dairy cow is not always the fat and sleek one. The calves should have flaxseed jelly with a little wheat bran every day. No cow can be brought to maturity at two yearB old that is neglected as a calf. The food for cows should be of such a nature that no bad taste will be imparted to the milk. It is believed that a cow will give more milk for a milker she likes than for one she does not like. One good dairy cow is superior to three poor cows in the dairy. The difference is in the cost of feed. Young animals should be kept thrifty «id growing all winter. A stunted animal never fully regains lost ground. Cows should be kept in milk aB long as possible. It is a great mistake to turn them dry four or five months before calv- ing. When cows are allowed to have their calves run with them they should he stripped twice a day, to keep up their milking qualities. In Prince Edward Island the entire dairy education and dairv supervision is under the control of the Provincial Dairy Association. If the factories do not come up to a proper sanitary condition the As- sociation can close them up. ! A writer suggestB that when dairymen ' get down to real, earnest work that they will have summer silos, as well as winter silos, and that when the pastures fail they will be able to feed ensilage, and thus be comparatively independent. This probably will be better than soiling crops, as soiling crops are uncertain. Many a cow is found fault with because the butter does not come, when probably the cream is not properly ripened, or the temperature is not right. When enough cream has been gathered for a churning, it should be exposed to a fairly warm temperature and stirred occasionally until it reaches a proper Btage of ripeness. Little is gained by haste in churning. Under proper conditions butter ought to come in due time. At this time of the year some dairies are troubled with mottled butter when artificial coloring matter is used. The cause of this irregular coloring is all due to the irregular distribution of the salt in the butter. A frequent cause is trying to salt the granuals of butter when they are too cold to take the salt. The remedy is to float the butter in water raised to 63 F. for a few minutes just before adding the salt. When the butter is salted in a mass then the whole butter must be reduced in a temperature about 62 F. which is bard to do and especially for the se:ond work- ing. The outside of the ma?s will get too warm while heating the middle of it. This twice heating is injurious to good butter. The far better plan is to salt in the churn while the butter is in the gran- ule form and at a temperature of 63 F. in cold weather. — Jersey Bulletin. The best feed for colts after weaning, is oats and bran; no corn, or a small amount, is advisable. He will eat some good hay. At no time should he be fed in such a way that he will lose flesh. He should be kept gentle all the time. Jackson's Napa Soda untangles the feet.

BAKSTOIV 12 ©*te gveebev cms Qpovt&mcm [February 25, 1905 Mutton Chops. Don't think every lamb is going to be a winner. You mustn't expect good mutton from poor sheep. Sheep usually make rapid gains after being shorn. Select the breed that suits your fancy and stick to it. Stay by the breeder whose word is as good as his bond. Get that lamb feeding pen ready— and the nursing bottle. Lambs have gone as high as $7.75 on the Buffalo market. Sheepmen, generally, never made more money than last year. Underfeeding and overfeeding is poor feeding and unprofitable. Keep the new-born lamb from drafts— the shepherd, too, if you can. The ram should never be so heavy in flesh as to be useless in service. Variety of food and plenty of fresh water tickles the palate of the fleck. Avoid heating foods at all times of the year and at this season in particular. A coat of whitewash will lighten the barn and add to its sanitary condition. The one who is a liberal feeder is the one who makes the most money out of his flock. The receipts of sheep at Kansas City in 1904 were 1,004,099, as against 1,151,- 730 in 1903. When buying a ram select from a buyer with a reputation for honesty in his dealings. If one grain more than another is enti- tled to universal usage by the flockmas- ter it is oats. He is a mighty poor shepherd that didn't make a little money out of his flock last year. Low price stock does not always mean cheap stock. Get good stock and give it proper care. Sheep cannot be expected to thrive and fatten on brush alone, as good a scavenger as he is. Before the lambing season comes on it is a good plan to remove the manure from the sheep barn. The high prices at which wool is sell- ing in Australia has significance to the American woolgrower. Pood in a state of decomposition is un- fit for sheep, notwithstanding their rep- utation as scavfingers. Reject faulty animals, male or female; it is important to mate only as Dear per- fect animals as possible. Peed is as necessary to sustain the life and growing body of the fleece as it is that of the animal itself. The best shepherd is the one who watches what others are doing and then thinks and acts for himself. If you disgust a lamb with poor feed he will disgust you with poor returns. One bad turn deserves another. Now is the time to get busy; next fall's profit's depend largely on the care the ewe gets at this season of the year. Don't feed wastefully by feeding too much at a time or feeding the animal that you know is not constituted to give returns. — Am. Sheep Breeder.

GREEN'S RUFUS The Baywood Stud, San Mateo THE BREEDERS PROGRAM for the meeting to be held in August, this year, will be found in our advertising columns this week. No less than $14,500 la hung up for races to be trotted and paced during the four days meeting and the program has been arranged to accommodate as many horses as possible. The 2:24 trotters are given $2000 and the 2:20 pacers $1500 as ha3 been the custom for several years. "The 2:08 class pacers are offered a purse of $1000, and the race should bring together a field of horses able to furnish one of the best races ever held in California. The 2:13, 2:18 and 2:27 trotters are each given purses of $800, and the 2:13 and 2:17 pacers are offered equal amounts. These with the two two-year-old races in Breeders Futurity No. 3, and tbe two three-year- old races*in Futurity No 2 make up a program that will furnish a very high class program for the four days of the meeting. There will be no substitutiors this year. Entries will close April 3d, and horses must be named with entry. It will only cost two per cent to enter, one per cent additional May 1st, one per cent additional June 1st, and one per cent additional July 1st. All stakes are best three heals in five, except the two-year-old events which are two in three. Now that the Breeders Association has announced a program it is in order for other associations to get in line and claim dates on the California circuit and announce a list of purses. There are seven or eight hundred horses in training in this State and at least two-thirds of them are being prepared for racing if a good circuit is made up Los Augeles, Fresno, Stockton, Pleasanton, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Woodland and Red Bluff would make an ideal circuit. Can't we hear from some of the above named tracks without further delay? LOS ANGELES will open the California harness racing circuit in July if satisfactory arrangements can be made for the use of Agricultural Park in that city. Attractive purses will be given for a program ox not less than five days, and it is more than likely that the closing meeting of the year will also be held at Los Angeles in November, with purses of sufficient size to draw the best horses from the North as far as Seattle and also from the East after the close of the Grand Circuit. It is thought that by giving no less than $1000 purses for all classes, a big entry will be received for the spring meeting, and by holding the meeting in July and announcing it early , a circuit will be arranged to follow it that will keep many horses in California whose owners are now figuring on going East with them. By giving the same sized purses at the fall meeting with a few extra attractions, all the best horses that race this year in California, Oregon and Washington would go to Los Angeles and many would come from the East to participate in tbe races and afterwards spend the winter in the land of sun- shine, getting a chance to race at an early meeting next year liefore returning to the Grand Circuit. An organization of wealthy gentlemen interested in har- ness horses will organize themselves into an associa- tion to carry out the above plan just as soon as they can be assured of securing the use of the track at Agricultural Park. Los Angeles is a great trotting horse town and well conducted meetings will draw big crowds there. "THE YEAR BOOK for 1904 is out. It has been I compiled on the same lines as the preceding vol- ume which is very like the voiumes issued prior to Vol. 18, except the lists of all 2:30 trotters and 2:25 pacers is omitted. This is the only serious fault we have to find with the new volume. It contains an al- phabetical list of the new standard performers of 1904 but the omission of the lists of performers of previous years, makes a reference to three or four yolumes necessary, to enable one to find the descrip- tion and pedigree of a performer, the date of whose performance one is not acquainted with. We recognize the fact that standard performers are becoming so numerous that volumes compiled on the plan of Vol. 18 would be so cumbersome and grow so from year to year that the smallest type and a book the size of a large dictionary would be required, but think the complete list of standard performers would not have made the present volume too large. We are thankful for the Year Book as it is, however, know- ing it must be printed at a loss, and the wonder to us is that it is as complete as the publishers make it. It Is a necessary volume in every horseman's library and can be ordered through the BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN. It contains summaries of all harness races during 1904, the pedigrees of the new standard performers, table of sires of 2:30 performers with totals of their get and those of their producing socs and daughters, table of great brood mares, and an index of all horses starting in 1904. It is well worth the $4 asked for it. THE LEAGUE of Amateur Driving Clubs has issued Its official year book for 1904. The book is of convenient size, handsomely bound in green and gilt and beautifully printed and illustrated. It con- tains full summaries of all trotting and pacing events at matinees of 1904, also summaries of amateur events at public meetings. There are lists of officers and members of the clubs in membership in the league and alphabetical lists of the trotters and pacers owned by club members. The volume is compiled and edited by Geo. A. Schneider of Cleveland, who has done his work in a thorough and very satisfactory manner. OAKWOOD PARK STOCK FARM will held a sale of thirty head of two, three and four-year, old colts, fillies and geldings at Fred H. Chase & Co.'s salesyard, March 28th. These young horses are by Charles Derby, Steinway and other great sires ard are all sound and in fine condition. The reputation of Oakwood Stock Farm is very high among the horse- men of California and the young horses to be offered at this sale will not detract anything from it, as they are the finest lot of horses that has been offered at a public sale by the farm for years. More particulars next week. THE DEATH OF MRS. STANFORD, widow of Ex-Senator Leland Stanford, which the cable announced Wednesday of this week as having occurred at Honolulu, was a shock to the entire country. Mrs. Stanford devoted her life and her immense fortune to the youth of this nation and to the honored memory of the husband and son who preceded her to the life beyond. The great Stanford University will be her monument, and no grander was ever erected. Her death so far away from her home and the great in- stitution that was her special care, was sad and deplorable. ___^^_^^^^_ THE SPRING SOUVENIR NUMBER of the Ain&rican Sportsman, published at Cleveland is a beautiful issue. The cover design is very rich and handsome, and there are 75 or 80 pages filled with well written articles by special writers and many fine half tone engravings. No paper printed is doing more for the best interests of the light harness horse and his breeder. A RTICLES OF INCORPORATION of the San *» Jose Amusement and Driving Park Association have been filed with a capital stock of $100,000 divided into shares of $10 each, ft is proposed to lease Agri- cultural Park at San Jose, build new stalls and a club-house, fix up that portion of the grounds now used for base ball and cycling and make the place a great centre of amusements. Mr. F. J. Granger, formerly of Santa Cruz is tbe lead- ing spirit in the enterprise and states that he will keep the track in perfect order for training and the holding of harness meetings. A BILL to prohibit betting on horse races in Cali- *» fornia has passed the Assembly of the California Legislature. The general impression is that it will not pass the Senate, but when "reformers" got to work there is no telling where they will stop. Of course, the bill is aimed at the race tracks at Emery- ville and Los Angeles, but the bill would stop betting on harness: races u»t the fairs and other meetings as well. Harness racing can be held without betting, but if the bill should becomea law the running tracks la California would have to close up. JAMES BUTLER, the millionaire grocer of New *•* York, proprietor of East View Farm in that State, and also owner of the old Valensin Farm, near Pleasanton, which he purchased last year, reached California this week and will spend a few weeks watching his Grand Circuit string of trotters and pacers take their work at the Pleasanton track where they are under the management of the veteran Mon- roe Salisbury and being trained by Chas. DeRyder. Briquette Sells for $5000. Last Saturday at Pleasanton, Jos. McGuire who trains for Mr. Geo. H. Esterbrook, the Denver capi- talist, purchased through Al McDonald, from Mr. M. A. Murphy of this city the Zombro mare Briquette, paying $5000 for her. Briquette is out of a mare by Woolsey, own brother to Sunol 2:08J, and is one of the greatest trotting prospects that the Pleasanton track has furnished for some time. She is now four years old and has trotted a half in 1:05^ and a quarter in 32 seconds, She is beautifully gaited and as Mr. Mc- Guire will race herthis year it is a foregone conclusion that she will take a low mark. Mr. McDonald thinks she will be a 2:10 trotter before the summer is over and says a mile in that notch is not her limit by a good deal. Mr. Murphy has bred and raised several fast trotters, among them Ella Madison 2:12J but Bri- quette will beat all the present records of his breed- ing farm beyond a doubt, although he has one or two left that he considers just as good although not de- veloped. Answers to Correspondents. Geo. R. Dittus, Sacramento— Don Fallis, a dark bay stallion, bred by J. J. Spieker of Sacramento is by Fallis 4781 and out of a mare by the thoroughbred stallion Bayswater, second dam by Lancet, son of Black Hawk 767, third dam by Werner's Rattler 262. We believe he is claimed to have a trial of 2:16 or thereabouts. Norwood by Speedwell's Hambletonian was out of Lady Wells by Gen. Knox 140, second dam Lady Harding, a Morgan mare. F. H. CUMMINGS, Walnut Creek — Almont 33 is the sire of 35 trotters and 2 pacers in the list. Abdallah 15 has 5 trotters in the list. Ethel C. 2:20 by Sidney took her record at Spokane, Washington June 24, 1896, in the first heat of the 2:21 class pace. The heats were 2:20,2:21^,2:20} and were all won by Ethel C. J. M. Buckley, Courtland— The stallion Wilkes- dale is by Alcantara 729, dam Thorndale Maid by Thorndale 305, grandam Bridesmaid by Hambletonian 10. He is registered and his number is 4541. Els record is 2:29 and he is the sire of five standard performers. Will Robinson of Snelling, Cal. advertises the stal- lion Sidney Alan for public service this year at $40 the season. Sidney Alan is standard and registered, a bay horse with black points, and was foaled in 1893. He is by the great Sidney and out of a mare by Allan- dorf, one of Onward's greatest sons. Sidney Alan was never trained but is an exceptionally fine individ. ual and naturally fast. Look over his tabulated pedi- gree in the advertisement which appears in this issue. The third dam of this horse is a mare by Middletown, sire of the dam of Flying Jib 2:04. Walter Maben has had more bad luck than falls to the share of most reinsmen. At Los Angeleo last week he was thrown from a cart and two of his ribs were broken. The injury will confine him t< house for a while, but he hopes to be able to his training duties within a week or two. 4 ©jte ^v&eifev cmfc grpartsrocm [March 4, 1905 fjg^P Notes and News. Breeders program is out Nearly $15,000 ia stakes and purses. That's a good starter for the California Circuit. Las Angales will hold a big harness race meeting in July. Diablo. 2:09} has been taken to Fresno for the sea- son of 1905. Beadville will offer a good purse for the fast record trotters, hoping to bring Sweet Marie and Tiverton together again. The total number of 2:30 trotters uo to close of 1904 was 20,282, and the total number of 2:25 pacers to the same date 11,748. Sidney Dillon's book is about full. He is limited to $60 mares at $150 each and the Horse Review states that 55 have already been booked. William Larsen of this city owns a pretty good prospect in a green trotter that has never been trained, but pulled two men in a buggy a mile in 2:30 the other day. Read the advertisement of the young stallion Dill- cara in this issue and see if you can think of a better bred one. He is as choice goods as come wrapped in horse hide. If the Tennessee anti-betting bill becomes a law it will have no effect on next year's Grand Circuit meeting at Memphis as it will not take effect until December 1. Diablo 2:09} has been moved to Fresno for the sea- son of 1905 He was located at Woodland, but his owner decided last week to take the sire of Sir Albert S. 2:03^ to Fresno. Tea Bell, a green four year-old filly by Adbell, was sold at auction at Lexington recently for $1400. At the same sale a four-year-old gelding by a son of Directum sold for $1200. Bather than to see no circuit in California, the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association will hold three or four meetings, if the other associa- tions fail to announce programs. Cuate 2:18 as a three year old is in W. G. Durfee's string at Los Angeles and Mr. Durfee thinks he will be "the goods" this year at the races. Cuate is one of the greatest trotters in California for bis inches. Fred H. Chase & Co., the leading live stock auctioneers will announce next week a sale of thirty head of registered yearling Holstein bulls from the Mills farm at San Mateo. The sale will be held about April 1st. There are eight of Bonnie Directs colts and fillies being handled at Pleasanton and all are trotters but one. The two-year old filly by Bonnie Direct 2:05}, out of Jenny Mac 2:09, has a pacing sire and dam, but is herself a nice gaited trotter. Henry Dunlap has named in the Breeders' Futurity No. 4 in place of his mare Explosion that failed to foal the mare Marguerite K. and her bay stud colt C. F. Kapp by Stam B. 2:11}. This is one of the handsom- est foals ever seen at Pleasanton. The Oregon Fair has baen declared oil this year owing to the Lewis and Clark fair being held at Port- land, but the citizens of Salem will probably raise a subscription toward a good week's racing to be held at the Fair Grounds track in September. Encouraged by the success of Anaconda as a trotter it is said, Kimball Carleton of Sioux City, Ia, owner of Couey 2:02, will race the son of McKinney 2:11 J, at the diagonal gait this season, the horse having shown a mile in 2:15 last fall at the trotting gait. W. J. Kenney has shipped two McMurray sulkies to J. W. Biggi of Burns, Oregon. The McMurray sulk- ies are great favorites all over the country. George Spear expressed himself as follows regard- tfiyg) ing Lou Dillon to a Memphis newspaper man: "Lou Dillon, when right, can beat any trotter that ever lived." There has been forty-five days of good sleighing on the Philadelphia speedway this winter. It has been a continuous carnival of snow racing for the Phila- delphia roaaites. Bud Crooke 2:15}, sire of C. K. G. Billing's favorite road horse, Hontas Crooke 2:07!, is now twenty-five years old, but still able to lead the best of them down the snow path at Canton, O. Six of the get of Nutwood Wilkes entered the list of new standard performers last year which is a remarkable showing as that was about the sum total of nil that started in races. Train a son or daughter of Nutwood Wilkes and it will show standard speed. Mr. C. K. G. Billings, owner of Lou Dillon 1:58!, h'.s bred a half dozen fast mares to Nutwood Wilkes' fn John A. McKerron and nominated the mares in a iveral futurities. Among the mares Mr. Billings ed to the champion of the Wilkes stallions are ■azette 2:04}, Lucille 2:07, Louise Jefferson 2:09}, lT-aogene 2:llj, Bugle 2:12} and Fanny Foley 2:11. Mr. J. W. Biggs, an attorney of Burns, Oregon, has been in San Francisco for the past two weeks on legal business. Mr. Biggs loves a good horse and owns one in the handsome stallion Dazzler 2:26! by Willington, dam the great brood mare Bettie Higginp, ° rand-dam of Albert 2:04f Mr. Biggs is a cousin of the late Hon. Marion Big^s of Butte county, Cal. He left for home this week. The old-time trotting stallion Moody 2:18} died at West Point, Illinois, two weeks ago at the ripe age of 31 years. He was a remarkable horse and took his record in 1886 when he was twelve years of age. He served a few mares last year and nearly all are with foal. Moody was by Swigert, and on his dam's side his breeding traced back to imp. Messenger. He was the sire of lone 2:08! pacing. The annual speed way parade of the New York Road Drivers' Association will occur on Saturday, May 6. Extensive preparations will be made to make it sur- pass all previous efforts in thiB line. By winning a heat in 2:18 at the Los Angeles matinee races, Limonero 2:15| demonstrated that he possesses all his speed as he is not in regular training. A stallion fourteen years old that can step out and win a heat in 2:18 without preparation is a pretty }.;ood one. Arnold Lawson, son of Thomas W. Lawson, of Bos- ton, is contemplating getting Boralma 2:07 into condi- tion for the wagon races the coming season. The son of Boreal is being jogged on the roads and shows no signs of the lameness which caused hi6 retirement in 1902. The New Year Book contains an error in the Great Table, as in Zombro's list of new performers it gives Bellemont's two-year-old record as 2:29! when it should be 2:20J. In the alphabetical list of new per- formers Bellemont's record is correctly giveD, how- ever. Go to any track where there is a Stam B. colt or filly being worked and you will find the horsemen talking about its speed and good looks. Stam B. will found a great family. His get sell well, and are nearly all trotters. Look out for a sensational colt trotter by Stam B. this year. California breeders who read about the leading Eastern breeders booking so many high class mares to John A. McKerron 2:04!, should remember that Nearest, a full brother to that horse, is standing at San Jose this year. As Nearest has already sired a 2:10 performer he is worth considering before booking mares. Millard Sanders recently talked as follows regard- ing Tom Axworthy: "Tom Axworthy is the fastest trotter in the United States or the world, outside of Lou Dillon or Major Dalmar; and I think that he will show the trotters on the Grand Circuit something next season when he starts " Strathway is being well patronized by the breeders of this part of California this year. He has twenty mares already booked and many of them are not only well bred but producers. The get of Strathway are natural trotters and universally good gaited. Johnny Ray, the popular actor and enthusiastic amateur trotting horseman of Cleveland, has bought the fast trotting mare, Hazel Burns, 2:15 j, by Bobby Burns, of Dick Blumenthal, Hartford, Conn. He will drive the mare in the Cleveland matinees this seasoc Petigru 2:10} was foaled in 1895 and consequently will be ten years old this spring. He was raced and not put in the stud until two years ago, although he was bred to two or three mares when he was six years old. A three year old trotter by him worked a mile in 2:14 over Eist last year. Petigru should be a great cross for McKinney and other Wilkes mares. Kinn?y Lou 2:07J, the fastest entire son of Mc- Kinney, is having some fine mares booked to him this season. He was mated with forty mares last year and there were many well bred ones among them, but those booked this year promise to be more numerous and better bred. That he is a coming great sire of speed is believed by all who have seen his colts. The new light "Miller" cart is a dandy. As one driver says all one has to do is "back up to it, ' ' sit on the seat, swing your legs around, and you're in." It has a low seat, is light, strong and handsome. J. I. Sparrow is the agent for this Coast. His advertise- ment appears in this issue. Ask Budd Doble about the Miller cart and the Decker sulky. He uses them. Breeders who reside near Sacramento should not overlook the fact that I Direct 2:12! is making the season there in charge of Prof. H. B. Freeman. I Direct is one of the best bred 6ons of the great Direct 2:05!, and is out of one of the best broodmares ever brought to California. His disposition is perfect and his colts are well formed, handsome and have natural speed. The sorrel gelding Will Clark, with which W. A. Clark, Jr., won the club cup trotting race at Los Angeles on Washington's Birthday, is the gelding that W. W. Mendenhall sold Mr. Clark last year. He is by Strathway and a very promising trotter. Hie heats were won in 2:25 and 2:22, showing him to be not only a good green trotter but one that is able to repeat. Capt. C. H. Williams, of Palo Alto, has learned that he cannot register his three-year-old by McKinney out of Twenty-third by Director as Mac Direct, so has concluded to give him the name Unimak, which is the name of a large iBland of the Aleutian group, to which the Captain makes a trip every summer to superintend his large fish canning interests in that section. Josh Albertson is training a pacer by Hart Boswell, belonging to S. Christenson of this city that is show- ing speed enough to get money in good company. The pacer will not be four years old until June, and was only just broken last year and turned out, being taken up in January this year. Albertson drove him a half in 1:06} la9t week at Pleasanton and says he could have gone faster. Secretary W. H Knight of the American Trotting Association will place his four-year-old Bingen 2:06} filly in Charley Dean's hands for training this spring, and she is likely to prove a sensational trotter. That she is bred to go the route is certain. She is out of Annetell 2:20i"by Axtell 2:12, and her second dam was Rowena Sprague 2:27}, the dam of three standard per- formers by Governor Sprague 2:20}. If you want horses that will be close to 16 hands and weigh from a thousand pounds up, breed your mare to Seymour Wilkes 2:08}. There was no gamer race horse ever hit a track in California, and no stallion ever sired a more unifoi m lot of colts. They all have speed and make fine large roadsters as well as race- horses. His son Mom oe 2:10} is said by all the East- ern horsemen to be the best gaited big trotter that ap- peared on the Grand Circuit last year. Gen. Henry I Russell, father of Howland S. Russell, president of the New England Breeders Association, died at his home in Boston on February 16. General Bussell was fire commissioner of Boston and a promi- nent horseman. General Russell for years ran the noted stock farm in Milton, known as the Home Farm, and owned the champion stallion trotters of their day, Fearnaught 2:23} and Smuggler 2:15}. Later he had the champion four-year-old stallion, Edgmark 2:16. "Columbus" of the Western Horseman gives breeders the following pointer: "Since my recent trip to Chicago 1 have reached the conclusion tha; one rea- son for the present high prices of heavy harness horses with action and style is, that there are not enough good heads and necks to go around. I found plenty of good-bodied and good-legged horses at the stock yards, but not enough with the right kind of heads and necks. Breeders should pay more atten- tion to this matter of heads and necks." Just five of the daughters of Nutwood Wilkes 2:16} have pioduced foals that have been worked for speed prior to this year and the result is five standard per- formers as follows: Miss Georgie 2:11}. Caroline L 2:13}, Iloilo 2.15, Mono Wilkes (2) 2:17} and Lady Mowry 2:28. Can any one doubt that the daughters of Nutwood Wilkes will be distinguished in the brood mare ranks after this showing? Nutwood, it must be remembered, is the greatest site of brood mares and he is the sire of the dam of Nutwood Wilkes. John Green, the well known trainer, who has resided in Oregon and Washington for several years and who took quite a string of horses through the North Pacific Circuit last season, arrived in San Frar- cisco this week and contemplates remaining here for several weeks and may stay and handle a string of trotters and pacers on the California Circuit. "Red" is a good conditioner and driver and has the faculty of making good gaited and fast trotters out of the horses he handles. The Oregon Legislature has dec! led that no State Fair will be held at Salnn this year, not wishing to have anything to conflict wish the Lewis & Clark Fair at Portland, but the citizens of Salem will probably raise a bonus of $2000 for a six days' race meeting during the week usually taken by the State Fair. Good purses will be g'ver, and as the other tracks on the North Pacific Circuit will give meetings as usual, the harness horsemen will have plenty of racing provided them. California needs more half-mile tracks. In the in- terior of this State where the long dry summers make it very expensive to keep a mile track in order, owing to the cost of water, half-mile tracks would solve the question, as they can be kept in shape at one half the expense. Many trainers in the State who will-pour forth all sorts of condemnatory epithets when ever a half-mile track is suggested, will ship their horses across the Rocky mountains in the sum- mer and race them exclusively on half-mile tracks for purses that seldom exceed $300. A good half-mile track where a meeting is held every year with small purses is much better for the harness horse industry than a mile track that is neglected and meetings given once in three or four years. In a letter to the BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN, dated February 24th, Mr. Joseph Depoister of Fresno, states that the weather there is fine, the track fast and the horses all working well. Nearly all the trotters aud pacers at the track are green but some excellent prospects are among them C. E. Clark has eight or nine, S C. Walton nine, Chas. Middleton eight and J. Depoister three. All have hopes of going to the races this season if there are any and Mr. Depoister adds that many more horses would be in training if the programs were out. Many owners refuse to take their horses uo until they know there will be a circuit. There is nothing so much needed in California as the organization of a harness racing circuit independent of district fairs, appropriations or anything else. March 4, 1905J &he gveebev cmb &y&xt-stmxn Matinee Events at Phoenix, Arizona. Breeder and Sportsman: Enclosed find news- paper clipping giving account of our Washington Birthday matinee races which were a success in every way, and show we are getting some of the choice horses now in Phoenix. The club is doing everything to interest the public in an annual Territorial Pair which will help the horse interests here. W. C. Greene's and J. C. Adam's horses are wintering well and there is no doubt but they will be heard from this year. Respectfully, A. H Davidson. The matinee races were attended by a large crowd and there was fine sport. The track was in ex- cellent condition and some very good time was made The fourth race was cancelled owing to the failure of one of the horses to appear, but the other three races were gre itly enjoyed and the exhibitions were all that were expected. The great exhibition was for the Senator L cup offered by Charles A. Smith owner of Senator L as a prize to the driver who can without the aid of a watch, drive the nearest to three minutes in three different races. The conditions are ths»t there shall be but one contest at one matinee and the driver shall be a member of the association. In yesterdays contest there were five entries, the time made being as follows: A. H. Davidson, driving Lillian Zolocb, time 2:50; Frank Cavallieri, driving Arizona Sirius, time 3:10; Dr. H. A. Hughes driving Billy Baker, time 2:55; George Klotzbach driving Miss Boydello, time 2:53; W. N. Tiffany driving Ari- zona Sirius, time 2:59. Mr. Tiffany being within one second of the mari was declared the winner of yester- day's event. He has now covered one-third of the distance between himself and the cup. These con- testants started one at a time and not all together as in a raoe. The first of the stated races yesterday was a mile trot, best two in three. Jessie Mack, a two-year-old by McKinney, took two heats straight, with Sirius Onward second and Anna Dillon third. The t'lfae was 2:33J and 2:34. The second race which was also a mile trot was won by King Clerc in two straight heats 2:214 and 2:234. Delnette was second and Charles M. third. King Clerc is one of Col. W. C. Greene's driving horses referred to as his show pair. This was his first appearance on this track and when he gets acquainted with the surroundings he will be able to go some. The third race was a pace, Iddie C. winning the two first heats in 2:294 and 2:27. Governor Brodie was second and Bill C. third in both beats. Iddie C. made a fine showing and was driven by Ed Barnum. Klotz- bach, in a conversation after the race, said he thought Iddie C. could go a mile in 2:20 if it was asked of him. The next event was an exhibition by three of J. C Adams' horses, Maydello, Sallie Pointer and Custer. Maydello won the race though it was an exhibition rather than a speed contest. The first half 'was ambled along at an easy gait but the last half was quite fast being made in 1:06$, the mile being 2:30. The last quarter was made in 30| seconds. It was announced previous to the exhibition that there had been no opportunity for warming the horses up so no effort would be made to speed them except in the last half.

Durfee of San Jose, received a carload of mares from Los Angeles last Monday to be bred to Coronado 2:12J. Among them was a full sister to Eleata 2:08|, a fine mare called Queen S by Sable Wilkes 2:18, and Jessie Madison by James Madison, the latter now in foal to Petigru 2:10$. The Los Angeles breeders are very sweet on Coronado as a sire and well they may be as his colts, the oldest of which are two-year-olds are showing wonderful speed, Mr. I. Mosher has a 22 months old Coronado colt that trotted a half in 1:10$ with the last three-eights in 51$ seconds at Los Angeles track on Tuesday of last week, and Will Durfee says he is the fastest trotter he has ever seen for the amount of work he has had. Four other Coronado youngsters have shown 2:20 speed already this year. • ■ Strike!— if they don't give you Jackson's Napa Soda when you ask for it. A Curious Case. Sire of Race Winners. In 1903, Mr. J. Pettie, a horseman of New Zealand, visited California and purchased several trotters and pacers which he shipped to his home, and has raced on the New Zealand tracks since. Among them was the black mare Norice by Chas. Derby, which he purchased from Ed Mills and Henry Sanders of Pleas- anton, who had a short time previous bought her from Chas. Branin of San Lorenzo. Before selling her to Mills & Sanders, Mr. Branin had nominated Norice in the fall races of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association, and the entrance fee had not been paid, as the races were then several months in the future. Mr. Pettie purchased the mare and shipped her to New Zealand before the Breeders meet- ing was held, consequently Norice was not at the time of her shipment, under suspension. When the meeting came off in the fall Norice being in the an- tipodes, did not appear, and was consequently sus- pended together with Mr Branin for non payment of entrance. The following winter the New Zealand Trotting Association and the National Trotting Asso- ciation of America entered intoa reciprocal agreement by which the suspension and expulsions of one were to be recognized by the other, and under this agree- ment Norice was held up in New Zealand in 1904 and Mr. Pettie was compelled to pay the amount charged against the mare in America before he could again start her. Mr. Branin has died since Mr. Pettie paid the suspension in New Zealand and there does not seem to be any way by which Mr. Pettie can secure the return of his money although it does seem as if it is a hardship to make him pay another's debt. Mr. Pettie was informed, when he purchased Norice that she was not suspended and that was true, as her sus- pension was not made until after she reached New Zealand. At the last meeting of the New Zealand Trotting Association a letter from Mr. Pettie was read in which he claimed he was not getting fair treatment from the American association, but was in- formed that everything had been done according to rule and he must look for his redress to the parties from whom he purchased the mare As these parties were not the nominators of Norice in any of her races, they cannot be held for any suspension charged against her. It was claimed by Mr. Branin, before his death, that when he sold Norice he also sold her engagements, and Mr. Pettie claims that as he pur- chased the mare before she was placed under sus- pension and before the agreement between the National and the New Zealand associations went into effect that he is the victim of an ex xiost facto law. Good Prices in Indiana. At a sale of trotting bred horses held at Indianapolis two weeks ago good prices were obtained. The sale lasted four days and the bidding was lively. The horses averaged over $300. Some of the best sales were as follows: Mart Wilson 2:23J, b g by Delineator; A. H. Merrill, Dan vers, Mass., $6500. Minnie Belle, b m (5) by Jim Wilson, dam by Jubilee Lambert; Wes Stout, Indianapolis, $3500 Ella at. 2:194, b m (7) by Cecilian Prince, dam by Red Wilkes; Arthur W. Cobb, Indianapolis, $8000.

It is an accommodation to the small breeders of California that the farm permits its premier stallion Charles Derby 2:20 to stand for public service and owners of well bred mares should remember that this stallion is one of the best sires ever produced in California. Charles Derby was a fast trotter as a colt and showed himself a game race horse when he took his record of 2:20 as a five-vearold in the sixth heat of a race. In the stud he has been a great success, and not only sires speed, but also gets size, good color and finish that makes his sons and daughters in demand for high class road horses. Charles Derby is now the sire of sixteen 2:15 performers, and among them are the names of such race trotters as Dei by Princess 2:08$, Owyhee 2:11, Dr. Hammond 2:124 and such whirlwind pacers as Don Derby 2:044, Much Better 2:07£ and Diablo 2Mb. The last named is one of the great speed sires of California, and Saraway, an own brother to Charles Derby is the leading sire of Colorado, being the sire of Winfield Stratton 2:05! and other fast ones. Charles Derby's breeding is very choice. His sire is Steinway, a great sire of speed and himself a cham- pion colt trotter, having held the world's record for three-year-olds. The dam of Charles Derby is Katie G. by Electioneer, one of the great broodmares of California. She is the dam of Klatawah 2:05$, Katrinka G. 2:14|, Charles Derby 2:20, Sunlight 2:25, H. R. Covey 2:25 and Steineer 2:294. At $50 the sea- son Charles Derby should be largely patronized. Every horseman is ready to admit now that the breeders of trotters should have bred for style and finish years ago as well aB for Bpeed. Had this been done the breed of trotters would have been much im- proved over what it is today, although it is the best and most profitable breed of horses in the world at the present time. In selecting stallions for your mares this year pick out those that have style and finish and have shown the ability to impart those qualities to their get. Nutwood Wilkes is one of this kind. He sires all the speed necessary, and has sired the fastest trotting stallion of all the Wilkes tribe, but in addition he puts such finish and style on his get that they attract attention in any company. If you don't tnink it pays to breed this sort, go out and try to buy a Nutwood Wilkes of any age. Breeding Trotting Horses Is Profitable. • Mr. L. Green, of Indianola, Illinois, is a breeder of trotting horses, and makes money at the business. Here are a few of his ideas as related to the editor of the Western Horseman: "When I hear a trotting horse breeder complain- ing of a lack of profit in the business I at once know that he is not a practical man, or that he expects the business to run itself. I have been in the business all my life; I make a business of it; I depend on no other source of income, and the best evidence of what it 'has cost me' is what I had when I went into business and what I have got now. I have always been able to sell at a profit all I could breed and raise. I have sold $13,000 worth of horses this winter, and have refused close to $10,000 for a 'green one' which I have left and I now have about two hundred head on the farm. No, the man who breeds good horses at a loss has only himself to blame — certainly not the business. But it is no use to invest a lot of money in a business- — of any kind — and then expect the business to run it- self at a profit. If I were to buy a bank, a dry goodB store, a saw mill or an automobile factory and go off and leave the business to run it6elf — like a great many people do their horse business — I guess I would 'go over the hills to the'— scrap pile, just as people do who leave their trotting horse business to run itself. ' ' Mr. Green develops a lot of the horses he raises, but he does not drop into the foolish notUn that a trot" ting-bred horse is good for nothing unless he is a race horse. Indeed, ha sells standard-bred trotters by the oarload as fast roadsters, carriage horses and saddle horses. If a gilt-edge bred trotter shows the quality of a carriage horse he fits him up for carriage pur- poses, and gets a big price for him. If another shows to be a ready and hi£h-class saddler, under the saddle he goes — and in comes a good round price. He says a real good farm horse is better than a poor trotter or pacer — and much more profitable — and a lot of breeders would find the business much more profit- able if they would learn these things. Not all trot- ting-bred horseB are trotting race horscB, but practi- oally every one of them is "good for something" if put at that something and not drilled to death at an expense of two or three dollars a day to their breeder in futile efforts to make a race horse. Mr. C. L. Powell of Pleasanton has sold his horse Santa Rita Boy by Diablo, dam a Sidney mare, to Col. J • C Kirkpatrick of this city. Mr. Powell drove his colt in one of the races held at Pleasanton on Washington's Birthday, and won the event, the best time being 2:39 in the last heat. Col. Kirkpatrick was much pleased with the showing made by the horse, which is a square trotter, and on learning the price asked for him was $400, became his owner. Santa Rita Boy came the last quarter of the last heat of his race in 35$ seconds. Free Service to a High Class Stallion. Six high claBS mareB will be given free se: Mllbrae 2:16$.

McEvOY, » Menlo Pa ■ & @*te $veebev axiif giptfirbrotcm |MakcS 4, 1906 Pleasanton Track Notes. Pleasanton, March 2— The famous mile track of Pleasanton is as busy right now as a country town on circus day, and the fact that there are nearly 300 trotters and pacers in training there gives assurance that some lively doings in the way of speed will be witnessed before another month has gone by. About two score of trainers can be seen at work every day, and as the weather for the past month has been ideal for training, all of the horses are in grand shape although no sensational miles have been recorded yet. Halves in 1:05 are common occurrences and quarters in 30 seconds are frequent, and in a couple of weeks there will be some miles worth talking about. The stable of Jas. Butler, trained by Charley De Ryder and his brother and under the supervision of Monroe Salisbuuy, probably holds the center of the stage as it contains about two dozen members, and among these are Consuela S. 2:07J; Ben F. 2:09}; the trotting mare Izetta 2:131, unbeaten on the Great Western Circuit last year; Alfred D. 2:12}; Boliver 2:20} and Minter 2:281. He also has some sensational green ones that he will spring on the boys before long and probably one of the best of these is one owned by himself which he calls C. K. Hasey by Don Derby 2:04}, out of a mare by Guide. This fellow is an oily going sidewheeler and this morning stepped a half in 1:04} wit h such ease that will make him bear watch- ing. The fastest mile of the lot has been in 2:13| by a green pacing mare by a son of Richard's Elecor, aad everything in the stable have been miles better than 2:25 with some lively halves and quarters. He has the unmarked trotter Telephone by Direct, thai raced on the California Circuit last year, which he thinks well of and the other day let him down with a half in 1:051. Mr. Butler arrived from the East to- night and will 6pend several days watching the horses in their work. J. D. Springer has been going along slowly with his horses and the fastest work by any of them was be- hind the handsome big six-year-old bay stallion Suomi by Zombro out of Stam B's dam, Belle Medium, that has worked a mile for him in 2:25, with a half in 1:06J and the green trotter Don Z by Stam B has stepped a half in 1 :08. His other horses Billy Red 2:10, Miss Idaho 2:11}, the sensational great mare Sonoma Girl and Argyle (trial 2:13* last year) by Chas. Derby are working well and will be heard from later. The star boarder in the string of Farmer Bunch is the wonderful little pacing mare Nance O'Neil 2:09} by Pilot Prince and owned by Mr. B Croner. This mire is hardly more than a vest pocket edition of the harness horse family as she seems no bigger than a two-year-old but she is a great little racing machine and is seated for a very fast mark this summer. No fast miles have been asked of her yet but she can step a quarter in 29 seconds at any time and will soon be in line for some stiff work. Others belonging -to Mr. Croner are Elmorine by Iris; Hattie Croner, trial 2:11} by Bay Bird out of a sister to Flying Jib 2:04 and Louise Croner by Wildnut, dam Abbie2:26 by Abbotts- ford. Mr. Bunch has two fillies belonging to Jas. Rea, San Jose that he thinks highly of and both are out of his famous mare Much Better 2:07}. One is called Still Better by Iran Alto 2:11} and the other is the two-year-old Mrs. Weller by McKlnney. The 0ther6 in the string are Petaluma Girl (5) by Lyn- wood W. dam by Anteeo, owned by J. W. Offutt, Pet aluma; Alto Down (3) by Iran Alto, dam Elsie Down by Boodle, owned by Mrs. Bunch; Joe Reed, a three- year-old pacer by McKinney, owned by A. L. Reed; a three year-old full brother to Lady Wa'.dstein 2:15, owned by Mr. Niles of Eureka and a six-year-old brother to Cavalier 2:1H owned by J. Listenstein. E. A. Servis of Durham who has been training Ed- win S 2:08 and the green pacer Doctor J by Doc Hicks has turned them over to F. Chad bourne who will com- plete their preparation. Both are in fine fettle and Edwin S. especially, is taking his work in line shape George A Davis has some youngsters in training and one that he likes particularly is a two-year-old black colt by his former pride, Rey Direct 2:10. He is also working King Willis and a promising two-year- old colt by Chas Derby. Mr. D. Lee, of New York, present owner of the California bred Btallion Rey Direct 2:10, and Matt Laird who has him in charge at Mansfield, O., visited the track for a day or two this week looking for some speed prospects, but left without closing aDy deals. J. i Juinn has a likely lot in training and they con- sist of green ones with the exception of the pacing mare Nelly R. 2:201 by Wayland W. In Dumont S, he las a full brother to Sonoma Girl that iB a grand looker and very fast; probably one of the best of the io' is Willmar, a green trotter that worked In 2:151 in three-year-old form. He is a Btrong made big ■ 'ow and is bred to go the route, as he is the son of V.ldnut, dam Sweet Water by Stamboul, grandam •lanzanita by Electioneer. The others in the string are Calamanca (4) by McKinney, dam Rose Russell by Bay Rose; R. W. P. by Lynwood W. dam by Bay- wood; Carakina by McKinney, dam Biscara by Direc- tor, and Iris (4) by Lynwood W. out of Maud Ayres. Mr. H. Brace has several good ones in charge of W. R. Johnson and the star of the lot is the five-year-old stallion Greco by McKinney, out of Aileen 2:261, by Anteeo, grandam Lou Milton, the dam of Lou Dillon 1:58J. He has shown his ability to trot in 2:15 with very little work and is a great prospect. Sadi Moor by Guy McKinney, dam Sadie Moor by Grand Moor and Lady Bug by Quintellas, dam Bessie by St. Clair are both green ones, but are working nicely. Morosco 2:12, the brown trotting gelding by Waj« land W , is working in grand style for I. N. Minor and the railbirds consider him one of the best trotters at the track. Fredericksburg 2:12, in the same stable, is showing a lot of speed and should do in his class. The most interesting happening around the stable of Al McDonald was the sale of Mr. Murphy's great mare Briquette by Zombro to Joe McGuire of Denver for $5000, but there are said to be more of this kind in the same stable that will soon be heard from. H. H. Dunlap is working a slick going green pacer in Harold D. by Dexter Prince, out of Sunrise II by Gossiper that will bear watching. He has been a mile in 2:19 and a quarter in 32 seconds with such ease that he is regarded as a sure 2:08 horse. Mr. Dunlap is also working CorBicanna (4j by Wildnut, out of Corsica by Dexter Prince and two other green ones. Sam Kerr, who was second trainer for Millard San- ders, has opened a public stable here and at present has a half dozen green ones including Sadie, a promising green one; a three-year-old filly by Black Prince and a nice going gelding by Steinway. I. L. G. Goodrich is working some high claBS green ones for Ed Mills and among the number are Easter Direct by Direct that has been a mile in 2:15£, and a half in 1:04; Esther Diablo, a daughter of Diablo that has trotted a mile in 2:18, last half in 1:06; Der- bertha by Chas. Derby, and a couple of youngsters by Searchlight 2:03} and Lecco 2:09|. Col. Kirkpatrick's stable, in charge of James Thompson, is headed by the game Strathway gelding, John Caldwell 2:11}, and he is working in exception- ally good shape this spring and has been an easy mile in about 2:20, with a quarter in 32| seconds. He is not the only good one in the string, however, for there are over a dozen green ones in the outfit, and many of them are showing up exceptionally well. Among the most promising are La Crecia, a four- year-old pacer by Nazote out of the great broodmare Lucyneer 2:27 by Electioneer; a five-year-old green trotter by James Madison that has worked in 2:20; Albuta by Altivo, dam by Advertiser, that paced in 2:10 last year; a pacer by Cupid out of the dam of Dione 2:07} that can step a mile in 2:20 and has alread y shown quarters in 321 seconds; a chestnut mare by Mendocino, dam Elsie by Piedmont, that has shown quarters at a 2:14 gait; a three-year-old by McKinney that has been a mile in 2:30, and a two-year-old by the same sire that recently paced a quarter in 34} seconds. The other trainers are all busy and I will have something to tell of their horses later on. B. S. MoMahan. Coming to His Own. There has never been a time since the breed became a fixture that the Morgan horse has been without his special pleader. In fact, there has usually been many more than one such advocate. Some of them have gone beyond the bounds of all reason in their en- thusiasm. But that can be pardoned for they wer» upholding the claims of a line of blood that has done more, perhaps, in proportion to its opportunities than any other that has been used in forming the breed now known as the Trotting Horse of America. Authorities continue to differ as to the paternity of Justin Morgan, founder of the tribe. But whatever it may have been there is one crowning fact in con- nection with him and that is that whatever his an eestry Justin Morgan, like Hambletonian 10 and Mambrino Chief 11 was one of the most wonderful horses of history. What the Morgan tribe might have accomplished without the aid of the blood of Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief is a matter for speculation only. What it has helped to do is of record. If one were to make a list of the 2:10 trotters and the 2:05 pacers that carry a part of the blood of the Morgans he would find it to be a most formidable one. And he would find that it carried the names of a host of great race horses. If the recent testimony given in proof of the claim that the second dam of Lou Dillon was sired by the Morgan horse Black Fly- ing Cloud is substantiated, the Morgan advocates will have added reason for swelling up with pride. And as the list of great race hones that inherit Morgan blood increases one can but feel that old Justin Morgan was a horse immensely above the ordinary. Fortunately, while there has ueen no wide- spread effort to maintain the breed in its purity, our trotting horse breeders, for one reason or another, have used a great deal of the blood, in many cases to great advantage. What would have been done with- out it can never be told, but if there is any doubt as to what has been done with it, that doubt will be re- moved by reference to the list of fast harness per- formers. In this connection mention of the work of Joseph Battell, in the compilation and publication of the history of the Morgan Horse should not be omitted . Mr. Battell's work was almost entirely a labor of love and enthusiasm. Fortunately for him and the horse history, he is a gentleman of means and he went about his task in no niggardly fashion. The result, so far, is one volume, and I understand another is about to be issued filled from cover to cover with information of immense value, nearly all of it accurate, and which but for him might never have been at the disposal of the student of breeding. The Morgan horse has his place in trotting horse history a place that be attained through sheer force of merit, and while he may have been over-praised by certain of our good friends, there is no denying the fact that he has proved himself far better than his one-time opponents would have had us believe he was. In these days of practical horse- men there is less tribe worship than formerly obtained. But the Morgans, like all others of merit, have come to their own. Their place in history is as permanent as it is eminent. — Ky. Stock Farm. Well Bred Son of McKinney. On the front page of this isBue is printed a half tone reproduction from a photograph of the Btallion Monte- sol, owned by Pat Foley of Alameda. Montesol is not only a good looking and good gaited trotter, but he is a well bred one. His dam is the registered mare Igo by Antevolo 2 :!9}.i, second dam Daisy May by Nutwood, third dam the Ralston mare by Alexander's Abdallah and fourth dam by Lexington. Montesol has never been trained for a record, but his full sister Lady Gran- nard took a record of 2 :23 with little work, and he haa shown more speed than she ever did He is a well pro- portioned stallion, bay with black points and iB a sure foal getter. Mr. Foley can show several of Montesol's colts to prospective breeders and invites those inter- ested in good horseflesh to call at Mb place at the Ala- meda track and look over his stock. The combination of McKinney, Electioneer, Nutwood and thoroughbied blood in Montesol ia not to be overlooked when in search of a sire of speed. Care ot Colts. Many people seem to have a notion, says an ex- change, that if a horse is to be tough, rugged, and wiry it must endure hardships during colthood. Others have an idea that nothing is too good for a well bred colt and therefore it should be kept closely stabled and blanketed in the winter season. It is difficult to tell which of these is the worst nonsense. Let us see what is required: In the case of the wean- ling the foundation is being laid. If the plan of the architect ia to be carried out, the colt must have abundant nourishment, mainly albuminous, such as oats and alfalfa hay with more or less grain during the winter. To give this colt a kind of balancing ration and keep it tied up in the stable is absolutely cruelty. In this country every colt may have abund ant exercise in the sunlight and open air all winter. It is folly to hamper a colt as well as to stunt it by submitting it to hard conditions. — Exchange. Mr. C. A. Harrison, of Victoria, B. C, has pur- chased the filly Zom-Belle by Zombro 2:11, dam Noon- day Bell by Noonday, second dam Belle H 2:241 by Belmont 4468. Belle H. is the dam of Couer de Alene 2:23} and Stamboul Belle 2:23. Zom Belle was bred in Oregon and foaled in Vancouver, B. C. She looks and acts just like her sire and is nominated in the Special Stallion Stake to be trotted at the California State Fair. Mr. Harrison states that he fully intends bringing her to Sacramento to trot in the stake and that unless some accident happens she will be a factor in it. A filly by McKinney, dam by Alta Vela, second dam by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. is offered for sale, by Mr. W. R. Wynn of Los Angeles, whose advertisement ap- pears in this issue If you want a good prospect write to this paper for the prioe on a three-year-old gelding by Nutwood Wilkes, that is an ideal gentleman's road horse. Henry Wheatley, of Napa, advertises a grade Per- cheron for sale. Is four years old and weighs 1400 pounds. See advertisement. March 4, 1905 j ®he greeliev anZi gtp&vtstnau $ THOROUGHBREDS. j The lower house of Missouri last Tuesday passed a bill prohibiting betting on horse races by a vote of 116 to 9. The stealing of the original measure was a boomerang that struck the track-owners hard and that the Senate will now pass the prohibitory law is certain. This is severe on the people whe put up the money for the brand -new Elm Ridge and Union plants, the first named costing over 8400,000, the latter over $200,000. Had there been those at the helm of the racing craft in Missouri with less of hoggishnesa in their hearts, the breeding interests in that State would not have been destroyed. The cause for this legislative action dates back but little more than a year, or when Patrick J. Carmody asked for thirty day's dates of the Western Jockey Club in which Cella, Adler and Tilles of St. Louis are the "big guns," along with John Condon. The Western Jockey Club had told Carmody to go ahead and build his track on the right or prescribed lines, form bis jockey club with responsible men in the directorate, and that dates would undoubtedly be granted. Notwithstanding, Manager Carmody met all the requirements of the W. J. C, he was turned down by that body and given to understand he would never be granted dates. Then, began a hitter turf war in the city of St. Louis, the sympathy of the people being not with Carmody, who had clearly been badly treated by the racing trust of the Middle West. Both sides lost vast sums of money as is always the case in the turf wars, and then when Ed. Corrigan became dissatisfied with the manner in. which the Western Jockey club was conducted, and formed the American Jockey Club to remedy troubles like Carmody's and others, the Missouri Leg- islature steps in and killed the goose that had been laying the golden eggs. The Cella, Adler & Tilles combination wanted to secure all the eggs in that sec- tion, and the Governor of the State having "a bone to pick" with one of their chief lieutenants, Harry Hawes, clubbed Cella, Adler & Tilles over the big politician's shoulders. If it is ever proven (there is a reward $10,000 for his apprehension) it's my opinion that the St. Louis track magnates will be found at the bottom of this bill-stealing, and it would be inter- esting to know just how much the State Auditor re- ceived late last July for refusing Carmody a license to- run ninety days longer. . The Cella, Adler & Tilles crowd are big book-makers and undoubtedly take first prize at a dressed pork show, for they were not satisfied with the immense revenues derived from running three race tracks in St. Louis without oppo- sition, but must squeeze out more coin through a channel that brought to them anything but "honor- able mention." This firm, however, have "got theirs," having made perhaps $1,500,000 each in the past half- dozen years and having it invested in street-car lines and real estate that Is sure to increase in value, and San Francisco The State Fair used to be a pay- ing proposition, and now that the pavilion and race track will be on the State's grounds, and not widely scattered, as in years past, there is all the more reason to look for success. People will willingly pay a dollar to see "the big show," and if properly managed there should be financial as well as artistic success at the yearly farmers' jubilee. My idea is that we Bhall see the day, and it is not a far-distant one, either, when every important State in the Union will have its Racing Commission, and the Commissioners will have the power to fix dates for racing in their particular territory. That racing nine months in a year is "too much of a good thing" and takes it out of the list of "sports" and places it under the head of "business, "is plain to any think- ing person. When one considers that race tracks hereabouts earn about $2000 per racing day for their owners and that this money goes into the pockets of the stockholders and out of the pockets of the people who support racing, that perhaps another $3000 is really lost by bettors each racing day, or a total los3 of $5000, and that we have about one hundred and sixty-five days of racing around San Francisco each season, it stands to reason that "the plain people" who pay their $1.50 at the gate should have more time to recover from the shock of losing $725,000 each season than they have. It is to the interest of track owners not to kill "the game" as did Cella, Adler & Tilles in Missouri, and I would like to see a Racing Commission in every State, one composed of men above reproach and who have the best interests of racing and breeding at heart. As bookmakers are at the bottom of the crash in turf affairs in Missouri and after the dollars only, generally caring little by what means they are secured, it would be a good idea lo "cut out" booking operations in this State and put in the totalizator, which does not "fix" riders to "pull" heavily played horses, but does do away, at one fell ■swoop, with nine-tenths of the crookedness prevalent on the turf as now conducted. I believe the State Fair, with the totalizator in operation instead of hav- ing the betting conducted by "skindicate" book- makers who have not the "entire confidence" of the racing public, could be made thoroughly self-sustain- ing, just as much so as the meetings at Los AngeltB W. J. Holpin, of Concord, Contra Costa county, has just purchased of H. Glover the brown Irish horse, Sagittarius, by The Deemster (son of Arbi- trator) out of Lady Shot, a great broodmare. Sagit- tarius will be an outcross for any of Mr. Holpin's mares, and as he is a magnificent individual standing about 16 3 hands, much is exptcted of the horse as a sire, for he comes from the same male line as did the unbeaten Irish horse, Barcaldine, also imp. Ogden, winner of The Futurity, and is bred on most fat bion- able lines. I wish to acknowledge receipt of a copy of "The American Thoroughbred," of which Capt. ThomasB. Merry is the author. This work is the result of nearly, if not quite, a century of research, and as the Captain has a most retentive memory and a very "taking" style of writing, "The American Thoroughbred" should be read by every breeder as well as every rac- ing man in the land, for the latter, after perusal, would not fill his stable with galloperB from families that never gave to the world anything but ordinary "platers" and the breeder would, in the Kentucky vernacular, "know where he was at" much better than if he had "trusted to luck." There's too much of the latter noticable, especially in a business where so much capital iB required. Jockey McBride's contract has just been purchased by Max D. Miller for $5000. As it has about two and one-half years to run and the boy bids fair to make a "classy" rider, the sum paid does not look excessive. The stewards of the N. C. J. C . have suspended M. J. Daly and Jockey W. Daly for thirty days for the sudden "goodness" of Gallopcff. The colt ran a number of very poor races and all at once he was played heavily and came close to winning over a good field. C. C. McCafferty's Major Mansir was barred for in-and-out running, and will not be allowed to start in the Waterhouse Cup or the Thornton Stakes, in which he was thought to have a royal chance cf winning. Among the good races of the week were Arabo's six and one-half furlongs in 1:19J, 108 lb6 up. School- mates's one and one-quarter miles in 2:06| with 109 lbs up and Pickaway's five and one-half furlongsin 1:074, 101 lbs. All these marks were made last Tues- dayT Ralph H. Tozer.

A paper on the natural history of this region by Wilfred H. Osgood, has been recently issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Division of Biological Survey. Extracts from the same, such as are likely to be of interest to sportsmen are given below. Now that transportation facilities are of greater convenience than formerly and the saving of time thereby is a de- sirable factor, a hunting trip to Alaskan points is now within the rather easy accomplishment of the individ- ual sportsman or a party who can spend the time for an excursion to the far North. The region about Cook Inlet was, at the beginning of the field season of 1900, the only general district of consequence on the Pacific Coast of Alaska that had not been recently visited by naturalists. The import- ant bearing which collections from this region would have on problems connected with the general natural history of Alaska was strongly realized, and, accord- ingly, after the completion of work on the coast farth- er South, I was directed to proceed to Cook Inlet and make as thorough a biological reconnoissance of the region as time and circumstances would permit. On this trip, as earlier in the season, I had the effici- ent assistance of Edmund Heller. We entered the region Aug. 21st making stops of a few hours each at Seldovia and Homer on the southwestern end of the Kenai Peninsula. From Homer we continued up the inlet and into Turnagain Arm and landed at the min- ing camp of Hope City, Aug. 23. The lower coast country about Hope occupied us until Aug. 31, when we moved on into the mountains at the bead of the Bear Creek, a medium-sized stream that empties into Turn- again arm near Hope A week later we left Turna- gain arm for the northwest side of the inlet at Tyonek, and there spent the remaining time from Sep. 13 to Sept. 28. From this it may be seen that most of the work was done in but two general localities, the vicin- ity of Hope and the vicinity of Tyonek. Short stops at Seldovia, Homer, Kenai and Sunrise however, were of considerable vnlue and information received fro n prospectors gave some general information about Knik and Sushitna districts. If more time had available it couid doubtless have been spent j ratably in these districts. The vicinity of Seldovia lso seemed promising, but we were obliged to pass it by on our way into the inlet and could not return to it- Cook Inlet is the first important indentation of the Alaskan coast east of the Alaska Peninsula. It is a long; narrow inlet, bifurcated at its upper end into two large arms, Knik arm and Turnagain arm. The first of these, Knik arm, is about fifteen miles long, and its upper end receives the waters of a large stream, the Matanuska. The other, Turnagain ar_n, is thirty miles or more in length, and extends inland until within about five miles of the waters of Prince William sound West of Knik arm is the delta of the Sushitna i iver, the largest stream flowing into the in- let. South of Turnagain arm, and connected with the mainland only by the five miles of glacier between the head of the arm and Prince William sound, is the Kenai Peninsula. Numerous relatively small streams enter both sides of Turnagain arm and both sides of the main inlet as well, so that in addition to the great volume receiveJ from the Sushitna there is a large secondary supply of fresh water. This abundance of fresh water, much of which carries quantities of silt in suspension, makes the inlet suitable for an extensive marine fauna. The tides are very strong and the rise and fall very great, particulrrly in Knik and Turn- again arms, where the flood is accompanied by a bore. Navigation by either large or small craft is difficult and often dangerous. Except in Turnagaia arm, the country bordering Cook Inlet is low and comparatively level, though high mountains from ten to sixty miles inland can be seen on all sides. The upper end of the main inlet, in the region of the Sushitna delta, is of course low and more or less swampy. The east shore along the Kenai Peninsula, from the mouth of Turnagain arm nearly to Kaehemak bay, is also low andcomparatively flat, but it is for the most part heavily wooded. The northwest side from Mount Sushitna, near the mouth of the Sushitna river, westward for nearly 100 miles, consists of a slightly rolling coastal plain, varying possibly from twenty to sixty miles in width. This country is broken here and there by rather sluggish streams, most of which head in the mountains farther back or in the small lakes which abound between the coast and tne mountains. The small trading station and village of Tyonek is situated on a low sandspit at the base of this plain about twenty miles west of the mouth of the Sushitna. About Turnagain arm the mountains reach the coast, and except for a few small tide flats at the mouths of relatively narrow valleys, the shore is steep. Hope City, in the vicinityof which our work in Turnagain arm was done, is situated at the mouth of Resurrection creek, a stream of suffi- cient size to have made quite a wide cut through the mountains. On each side of Resurrection creek rug- gad mountains rise to an altitude of 5000 feet or more, and from their canyons many small, rushing streams pour into Resurrection creek or Turnagain arm near Hope. Bear creek and Palmer creek, which come from the east side, are the most important of these. Although the region north and east of Cook Inlet is exceedingly mountainous and quite imperfectly known, it is evident that there is a gap of some conse- quence between the Coast or St. Elias range, which practically culminates in the upper Matanuska region, and the so-called Alaskan range which lies north and northwest of the inlet and includes the the lofty peak of Mount McKinley. The effectiveness of this gap in its relation to the geographic distribution of animals and plants is of great interest. The flora of the Cook Inlet region is quite different iD its general character from that of the coast farther south, although many species are common to both regions. The difference is largely in the reduction of the number of coniferous trees in the Cook Inlet region and the corresponding increase in deciduous trees; but other features somewhat transitional be- tween the heavy saturated forest of the southern coast and the treeless tundra of the north are numerous. The flora of the mountainous district aboutTurnagain arm is, of course, different from that of the coastal plains of other parts of the inlet. The low country near Hope consists of a grassy tide flat, about fifty acres in extent, and a few miles of forest and occasional small swamps along the lower part of Resurrection creek. Balsam poplars, paper birches, alders and willows abound near the streams, and spruces (Picea canadensis and Picea sitchensis) and hemlocks [Tsuga merteusiana) are common on the slopes and slightly elevated flats. A third species of spruce {Picea mariana) is found in the small peat bogc, where smaller Hudsonian plants, such as Labrador tea [Ledum)! crowberry (Epetrum), and dwarf birch {Betula grandulosa) are in profusion. The hemlock is much tne most abundant ol the large trees, but it is exceeded in individual size by the Bpruce. The coni- fers a=cend the mountain slopes to about 2000 feet, but above that point rapidly disappear Beyond this elevation are alder thickets, small patches of dwarf willows and birches, and vast stretches of waving grass from one to three feet high. Still higher, the slopes and rounded backs of the ridges are cushioned with a mass of heather and heather-like shrubs, chiefly Eynpetrum nigrum. This extends up to an ap- proximate altitude of 5000 feet, above which there is very little or no plant growth. The whole country is characterized ^y the abundance of high grass; other- wise it is a typical Hudsonian Alpine region. The flora on the northwest side of the inlet in the vicinity of Tyonek is somewhat different in char- acter. With the exception of considerable areas oc- cupied by lakes and peat bogs, the whole country is covered with comparatively open forest. Deciduous trees greatly outnumber conifers, of which but two species occur. Picea canadensis and Picea mariana, and one of these, P. mariana is quite rare and local. The paper birch (Betula papyrifeia) is by far the most abundant tree, and next id rank are the pop- lars, of which there are two species, Populus balsami- fera and Pupulus tremuhtdes. Alders ana willows are found along the streams and sparingly through the forest. The underbrush is not heavy, it consists mainly of Menziesia and Viburnum, with an occasional clump of devil's club [JScfivnopanax) iD wet places. Long grass grows luxuriantly in numerous pretty open glades in the birch woods. The September as- spect of the forest is very attractive. From a little distance the birches on the low, rolliDg slopes appear as a mass of golden and rusty yellow, punctured here and there by the dark green spruce tops. The foliage of the smaller plants, such as Viburnum, Comus, Bibes and EpiJobium, is bright red and adds, greatly to the general effect. On the whole, it reminds one very much of the autumn woods of New England and is quite unlike anything I have seen elsewhere in Alaska. The mammals of the Cook Inlet region are essen- tially the same as those of the interior of Alaska. Nearly all the species of the lower Yukon valley are found among thtm, and none show any marked peculiarities not possessed in their interior habitat. With the exception of widely distributed species, such as the black bear, no species are common to the Cook Inlet region and the Sitkan region. Thus, while the mammals of Cook Inlet are not peculiar to the region, the mammal fauna, as a whole, is peculiar, as con- trasted with that of the coast fuither south. Con- sidering the latitude, both large and small mammals are numerous ia species as well as individuals. Moose, bear aDd mountain sheep are the principal big game, and although they have already been hunted to a considerable extent, it is probable that they are more abundant than in any equally accessible place in North America. Fur-bearing animals are well repre- sented, but, as elsewhere in the North, have been much reduced in numbers. The smaller, less con spicuous mammals are such as are generally found throughout northern Alaska and are well represented on account of the varied conditions offered by the mountains of the Kenai Peninsula and the low country on the northwest side of the inlet. Birds are found in great numbers. Owing to the lateness of the season at the time of our arrival in the ' inlet, those seen were permanent residents or fall stragglers, the summer residents beirg missed almost entirely. Land birds, with the exception of grouse, which were fairly common, were not numerous in species or individuals Water birds, particularly lit- toral or semi-pelagic forms, are noticeably uncrmmcn probably on account of the brakish water of the inlet and the comparative absence ol marine invertebralf s. Ducks and geese, however, and birds which feed in fresh water are locally quite abundant. As in the case of the mammals, no birds are peculiar to the Cook Inlet region, but several interior species are found which do not occur on the Alaskan coast eoulh of Cook Inlet. The mammals of the Cook Inlet region which inter- est sportsmen are: Alaska Moose.— According to report the moose has but recently appeared in the Cook Inlet region; the older Indians say no moose were there when they were boys; and even within the memory of white men it has moved westward, now beiDg known as far out on the Alaska Peninsula as Katmai. It is quite com- mon in many places about Cook Inlet, but is hunted most successfully in the Koik district, aDd od the north shore of the Kenai Peainsula, from Kussilof and Fort Kenai to Point Possession at the mouth of Turnagain arm. A few Indians huDt moose here practically all the year round, making a living by selling the meat in the mining camps of Hope and Sunrise. Several carcasses were brought in during our 6tay. and the meat was quickly sold at 10 cents a pound. On the north west side of the inlet moose are less common than on uhe Kenai Peninsula, but occur sparingly Stone's Caribou.— Caribou are rare on the Kenai Peninsula. I saw a pair of weather-beaten antlers said to have been picked up on the peninsula side near the mouth of Turnagain arm, aDd heard the unsatisfactory report of the killing of a large buck, but beyond this could obtain no evidence of the animal's occurrence in this region near the coast. Mr. Stone, who secured the type of the species, also received reliable reports of the occurrence of caribou in the southern and western part of the Kenai Penin- sula, but stated that they are "already very scarce and will doubtless soon be exterminated." Two specimens, male and female, shot by Harry E. Lee on the Kenai Peninsula, have been recorded by D. G. Elliot They are more or less common a short distance in the interior and are often killed near the Sushitna river, whence their skiDS are brought to the coast to be traded. The characters which distiDguish Stone's caribou from the mountain caribou (Banqijer montanus) seems to be slight, and the claim of stonei to full specific rank has been questioned. The state- ment in this connection that "it is very evident that our knowledge of western and northwestern caribou is very imperfect and unsatisfactory, our material having been altogether insufficient is not only true, but should be very significant; for if more specimens of this rare animal are not obtained for our museums in the near future, the question of its specific distinct- ness may never be decided beyond question. Alaska Mountain Goat— I could obtain do evideDce of the occurrence of goats on any part of the Kenai Peninsula but I learned from T. W. Hanmore, who has been the Alaska Commercial Company's agent at Tyonek for the past eleven years, that a small baDd is known to inhabit a district between the headwaters of the Knik aod Matanuska rivers. M«\ Harmore knows the animals thoroughly and says he has seen skins and horns from this place and often heard of them from the Indians who huht in that vicinity. As far as I can learn, this is the northernmost occurrence of the mountain goat, [To Be Continued.] March 4, 1905J f£he gveextev emit gtpurtsman San Francisco Fly-Casting Club.

AT THE TRAPS. The Golden Gate Gun Club will hold the initial club blue rock shoot for this season, at Ingleside tomorrow. The Union Gun Club will open the club trap shoot- ing season at Ingleside on Sunday, March 19th. The annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Trap Shooting Association last Saturday evening was largely attended by local sportsmen and delegates from interior points. It was decided to hold the association blue rock tournament this year at Ingleside. The dates fixed are May 28, 29 and 30. The program for the three days' shoot as outlined at t,he meeting will embrace eight events each day. Three 20 target contests each forenoon and three 20- target contests on each afternoon Besides the six regular events, there will be a consolation race and a team prize shoot, 20 targets each. The added money purse in each contest will amount to $20, making a purse of $160 for each day, the total purse of $480 to be divided among the winning shooters for the three days. Besides the added money for each event there will be eide pools. Prizes and trophies will be hung up for team and gun club contestB. Dr. W. S. George of Antioch and Mr. A. M. Shields, on behalf of the San Francisco Trap Shooting Association, have each donated a handsome trophy to be competed for, and other substantial prizes will no doubt be secured. The officers of the Pacific Coast Trap Shooting Association are: Dr. W. S. George, of Antioch, Presi- dent; A. M Shields, of San Francisco, Vice-President; George W. Lewis, Sscretary-Treasurer; Edgar J. Forster, Manager; Dr. W. a. George, Frank Hodapp, of Martinez, A. G. Flickinger, of Vallejo S. R. Smith, of Los Angeles, and M. J. Iverson, of San Francisco, Directors. The Mountain View Gun Club held an informal blue rock shoot at Mountain View, February 26, 1905. There were eleven enthusiasts in attendance and if this meeting is evidence of what this entei prising club is going to accomplish during the coming trap season, it certainly argues well for a successful series of snoots for the season of 1905. Mr. C. A. Whelan and the club members were un- tiring in their efforts toward the comfort of visiting shooters. The club uses three expert traps and tbe grounds are exceptionally well adapted for a blue rock club shoot in the matter of background. Every in- dication points to an increased membership. We congratulate this young organization for their enter- prise and wish them all success. The regular program of the Union Gun Club is a card of five events for each monthly club shcot from March to September inclusive. The first event is a 25 target race, 16 yards, entrance 50 cants. $40 purse, Rose system, four classes — cham pion, first, second and third, $10 for each class; 3 moneys 5-3-2, for member* only. Second event. Medal shoot, four gold medals, four classes. All contestants begin at 16 yards. Winners to shoot at 18 and 20 yards. Medals to become perma- nent property of members winning the same oftenest. Mr. A. M. Shiels has donated a $40 purse or trophy for this event, members only Third event. Secret handicap for the Tuckey and Kline trophy, value $50. Limi , 25 targets, entrance 50 cents, members only. Fourth event. Open to all, 5 pairs, 14 yards; 15 singles, 16 yards. Class shooting, three moneys; club added money. Special event, 25 targets, entrance $1, distance handicap, open to all. A live bird shoot and picnic will be held on April 30th. The College City Gun Club grounds near North Berkeley could not be secured again for this season. An effort to locate the club traps within easy reach The Empire Gun Club initial shoot this season will take place on Sunday, March 12th. The regular club shoots thereafter will take place on tbe second Sunday of each month during the club blue rock season. The Maugatrap has been discarded by the Empire Gun Club. An Autotrap has been ordered and will be used at the Alameda Junction trap shooting grounds instead. The Alameda Gun Club will hold an invitation blue rock shoot tomorrow on the High street grounds. A merchandise shoot will be one of the features of the meeting. The reason the shoot will not be an open to all affair as given out is that the conveniences, at present, for handling a large crowd of shooters are not adequate. Training Dogs to Become Ratters. To own a dog that is not a good ratter, particularly if he be of the Terrier variety, is considered by fan- ciers a reproach. As to methods of training a dog there are, of course, many. The old conservative lines are good and efficient, besides which many dogs take to the fame naturally and with avidity. Methods do not vary to any great degree, the course of a dog's training being to a great extent controlled by environment. In the United States the work cut out generally for a professional trainer is to a great extent a sinecure. In Paris, which has the reputation of harboring hordes of rats in its underground system of sewers, etc., the situation seems to be different. Recently an enterprising and practical citizen of the French capi toi has installed a lucrative business establishment whichhecallsa "ratodrome," wheredogs of allbreeds and kinds are taken in hand and after a more or less strenuous course of training are sent back to their respective owners as competent rat killers or more rarely as mere "yaller" curs. In the large cities of this country the rat question is not sufficiently ineanacing to be termed of national importance. In all of our large cities men working silently and skillfully at night with tongs and lanterns and other devices maLage to keep the visible rat supply down to satisfactory limits. But in American cities there is not the overwhelming number of these pests that prevail in many of the European metropo- lises nor do the "old quarters" of our cities furnish living and breeding places for untold myriads of them. To Paris the "rat infected" applies perfectly, it be- ing estimated that 4,000,000 of them find their homes in the city. In many quarters of that city these rodents are so numerous and ferocious as to actually constitute a menace to the residents of the poorer houses. Even occasionally there comes to notice stories of aged and infirm persons or helpless infants who have been killed and partly devoured by hordes of the starving gray terrors. One case, horrible in the details, is that of an old ragpicker, who, while lying all but helpless from drink, was eaten alive by the rats of his squalid home. In some houses the rats are so numerous that to put a cat, or even the ordi- nary, untrained dog in the infested portions would only be subjecting them to a horrible form of death. Thus it will be seen that in Paris there is actual need of the ' ratodrome" and the man who trains "ratters." The "ratodrome" is a successful even flourishing in- stitution. From all quarters of the city flock people with dogs to be trained for rat killing service, and the trainer in chief, "professeur entrainer," in h!.s band master uniform, has dogs of all kinds and natures to handle at a good profit. Small dogs, large dogs, well bred dogs, dogs of uncertain breed and antecedents, Poodles, Fox Terriers, Pugs, Pointers, Greyhounds and Bulldogs; they all come to the arena of the trainer, and within the space of from one to three weeks they are returned to their owners guar- anteed to have the knowledge necessary to catch rats instilled in their minds or rejected as hopeless cases. There is no careless, hit or miss method to the pro- fessor's style of training rat catchers. One by one he takes his pupils into his inclosed arena and proceeds to first instill in their minds an idea of what should be their chief aim in life, that of chasing and killing rats. The first lesson is to make the novice under- stand that he is to make war upon every rat that comes under his sight. This is done by turning him loose in the arena with a good sized, healthy, angry rodent as his only companion. StraDge as it may seem to those unfamiliar with doge, many dogs abso- lutely refuse to make war upon their selected ad- versary, but treat him with contempt or fraternize with him. When a dog evinces an inclination to be sociable with rats he is placed alone in a barrel full of half starved rodents. Then it is a case of fight and kill or get severely bitten, and the dog invariably fights. ODCe this lesson is learned the finer points of instruc- tion begin. Next he is taught to ascertain the hiding places of rats hidden in barrels, boxes, under flower pots and in Btraw. A rat is hidden in one of eight flower pots placed inverted in the arena. His lesson Is to find the pot which secretes a rat. After a few days of training at this "game" the intelligent dog is able to go straight to tbe right pot vithout a mom- ent's hesitation But it is not only that the dog must find Mr. Rat's hiding place, but before he is adjudged corr-petent in this part of his course he must catch and kill him as he tries to escape when the pot is overturned. Good ratters nose the covering over and have the rat in their jaws before it has gone a foot. Others "fumble" woefully. Overrunning is a frequent fault of un- trained dogs, especially young ones. Others have a penchant for fastening their teeth on the trailing tails of their prey. This offers the rat a chance to turn around and surprise Mr. Dog by biting a hole in his lips when Mr. Dog, if the shame of howls aDd fright has not been properly instilled in his soul, will drop his hold and flee. But after the dog in training has learned to chase, find, and tackle comes the severe part of his training. He is last of all before being turned over to his owner as a finished rat catcher put through a course that will either develop the fighter in him to a last degree or will probe the yellow spot in his makeup and send him home a disgraced dog; a dog that aspired to enter the ranks of good ratters but who did not possess the requisite courage. . The last degree is fighter's test. The dog is driven into an underground passage wtre has been placed the champion of all fighting rats or two or three ordinary samples of the species. It is dark and clammy in the passage. The dog is essentially an open air animal. Therefore the cold, damp quarters in to which he is shoved is in the first place quite sufficient to send his courage down several degrees before he en- counters his enemy. The rat, on the contrary, spends the greater part of his life in dark holes and passages. It is his native element. Here he lives, fights and dies, and, through instinct, when he discovers that his home is invaded he knows that it is up to him to fight and kill or get killed. As a consequence, the minute his dark ac- customed eyes see the dog, blundering about hope- lessly in the gloom, he acts as all good fighters do, he promptly attacks. With every advantage on his side, it is not infrequent that be has the dog howling and begging mercy at the first onslaught. There is no help to come to the canine's assistarce, however, and he soon discovers that it is be, and he alone, who must settle the question as to whether or not he is to come out of the hole alive. Once this re- solve is made in his mind, it is a most unfortunate day for Mr. Rat. After a dog of tbe right kind has been sent into a hole and made his kill three or four times he is fairly impatient for new victims, and champs at the leash that prevents him from running into the, darkest pit to be found to kill rats. When he has attained to this stage, when he can find rats any- where, can tackle them scientifically, and will fight them in any size and number, then he is a matter of pride to the professor, and is sent back to the owner a prize and a jewel. The charge made for the complete course is $2.50. As the professor frequently has hundreds of pupils on hand at one time, his profits are not inconsequential. There is a hospital department to the "ratodrome," where dogs that have been bitten by rats are patched up and their wounds treated antiseptically. So care- fully are the injured animals bandied that in more than a thousand pupils, it is claimed, the professor has not lost one through blood posioning from rat bites. Often a dog is severely lacerated, but altera spell in the hospital he is up and ready to try his luck again. Once the desire to kill rats is firmly implanted in a dog's mind by this system of training, he is a clever example of a fixed singleness of purpose. DOINGS IN DOGDOM. 'FRISCO SHOW. Without going into a maze of generalities, we can state authoritively that active preparation for the Spring show of the S. F. Kennel Club is going on smoothly. The outlook for a larger and finer list of specials than at any previous show of the club is most encouraging. The premium list will be issued about April 1st. At the same time an office will he opened in a central lo cation. President Chas. K. Harley arrived home from his Eastern trip this week. He is naturally well pleased with his handsome wins at New York and correspond- ing wins at tbe New England show. Mr. Harley was present at tbe New York show and was the recipient of many courtesies frcm the rank and file of Eastern dogdom. The Gotham fanciers all down tbe line were exuberant in their congratulations to Mr. Hariey over the wins of the Coast-bred dog, Wandee Knight. BULL TERRIER NOTES. Silkwood Kennels' Bull Terrier Newmarket Jean whelped five puppies (3 dogs), February 24th, to Croydon Czar. Edgewood Jean is now heavy in whelp to Czar. Silkwood Daisy Belle's November lit- ter of six white dogs by Czar turned out remarkably well and have all been disposed of. Silkwood Betty, owned by Mr. Edwin Duryea, Jr., of Palo Alto, whelped nine puppies (7 dogs) to C. Czar last September. PROSPECT OF GOOD EKG1ISH SETTERS. John Lucas recently sent a youDg English Setter bitch belonging to J. W. Considine of Seattle to Walter W Updike, Robinson, 111. She will be served by Dan Thiers, Mr. Considine's field trial and bench show winning stud dog. Dan Thiers is a proven sire and is looked upon as one of the best bred Llewellyn Setters in the country. SEATTLE KENNEL CLOU. The Seattle KennelClub, Incorporated, has changed its name and will henceforth be known as the Seattle Dog Fanciers' Association. The club is affiliated with the A. K. C. From this it will appear that there is a possibility of two bench shows being held in Seattle. A GOOD COCKER BACK AGAIN. Mr. W. Wallace bought from E. C. Plume ' Cocker Spaniel bitch Ch. Plumeria Flo (C Goldie-Queen K.) Flo arrived here from C 10 __ last week The advent of this well known bitch on the Coast again is favorably regarded by fanciers for she has been a splendid producing one and can be looked upon as one of the best brood bitches on the Coast today. JARGE ATTENDANCE. The estimated number of visitors during the second dav of the Boston show is given out as amounting to 20 000 This was, up to date, the largest attendance at'a dog show on any one day, in th.s country. CKUFT'S SHOW. The world's record for bench shojv entries was made by Cruft's recent bench show at Agricultural Hall London, 3854 was the number of entries in the various classes. The quality of the show this year is said to have been far above the average. The breed enjoying the latest boom Is apparently the Pekingese Spaniel. Six weeks old puppies are selling for $100 or more, several pups a few months old brought over $500 each. One fancier, Mrs. Ash- ton Cross, is reputed to have made last year $7500 in stud fees. She owns several stud dogs, the fees range from $50 to $150. One fancier, Lord Decies, is said to have invested, last year, $10,000 in the breed. A strong specialty club, whose membership is composed principally of the nobility, has been organized. The breed, despite its small size, is claimed to be hardy and singularly immune from distemper. NEW YORK SHOW. At the twentv-ninth annual show of the Westmin- ster Kennel Club the total number of entries was 2712 with 1752 dogs benched— 218 more entries and 67 more dogs than at last year's show. There were 98 entries in the variety classes. The attendance was good throughout the four days, weather conditions were, despite cold and a little rain, considered favor- able. All the judges selected were on hand, the bulk of the work was undertaken by Mr. George Baper and Mr. Arthur Maxwell, both of England, and Mr. R. P. Mayhew of New York. There were eighteen judges in all, twelve of whom looked after one breed only. Messrs. Raper and Maxwell were engaged nearly three days in looking after their clasBers. The classes of sporting dogs were not as strong a feature as in 1904, nothwithstanding, there were many good ones shown. The non-sporting was well represented save in Bloodhounds, Mastiffs and Newfoundlands. The Terriers as a whole were, it is claimed, the feature of the show. As compared with last year's exhibit, great progress was noticeable, particularly in Airedales and Irish Terriers. Pox Terriers, Bull Terriers, Scottish Terriers were strong in class and put the judges on their mettle. Mr. Jewett is re- sponsible for the statement the Irish Terrier bitches were "the hottest he had seen." He should know what he was talking about too. ©tte giveeiiev anit gtptfrfeamcm [MAKOH 4, 1905 Game and Fish Legislation. After a brief discussion about the date of the open- ing of the duck season, the Assembly last week passed without amendment the fish and game bills prepared by the Senate and Assembly committees as a substi- tute for all the bills on the subject that have been in- troduced. The Senate has already passed the fish bill, which thus goes to the Governor. Both these measures represent a compromise between the con- flicting views of members from different parts of the State. This is the reason why they met with no serious opposition. The fish measure (Assembly bill 819) amended the law concerning shrimp-catching, keeping the season open for the whole year, and also prohibits the ex- portation to foreign countries of dried shrimps or of shrimp shells The purpose of the latter provision li to prevent the wholesale destruction of young food fish by the shrimp takers. The law does not stop the exportation of shrimps to mearby states, which is a very large loophole for the evasion of the law. There is nothing to prevent the sending of the same fish and shrimp products to another state and from that point the commodities may be shipped to the Orient, thus making inoperative the spirit of the statute. Another month is added to the open season for black bass, that month being June. No change is made regard- ing striped bass, the weight limit remaining at three pounds. The trout season is not altered, but the Dasket limit is reduced from fifty pounds to twenty- five pounds in one day. Hereafter the crawfish sea- son will open on September 15th instead of on August 15th. This shortens the season by one month. Assembly bill 820 is the one dealing with the game laws. It makes no change whatever in the portions of the law relating to duck shooting. The bag limit of birds, the regulations relating to the sale and possession and the duck-shooting season all remain the same. In regard to doves the bag limit is reduced from fifty to twenty-five, and doves are added to the non -salable class. A close season of six and one-half months (from April 1st to October 15th) is created for English and other snipe. The bill makes it unlawful for one person to kill more than two deer during the season. Heretofore the killing of three deer has been permitted. The open sea30n for deer is reduced one month, now open- ing on August let and closing on October 15th. Pen- alties for the killing of doe, fawn, mountain sheep or elk a o imposed, consisting of a flue not lower than $5 nor higher than $50. The only objection to the game from some of the Assemblymen represent- ■ ■■•them counties, who wanted the duck-shooting 3 open on October 1st, instead of October 15th. , hton of Modoc and Shasta Counties moved an .jment to this effect "The reason for this amendment is for the purpose of allowing people who live in the duck -breeding dis- tricts to have some shooting before the game leave for the South," said Creighton. "The ducks usually fly a week before October 15th, and are gone from our portion of the State before the season opeDS. The law it was stated, is openly violated and no jury in that part of the country would convict any per-son found Bhooting ducks before October 15th. The boys, see- ing their fathers openly iouting the law, are likely to grow up criminals." Rolley of Humboldt advocated the adoption of the amendment, but Branstetter, from the same county, said his people wanted the law to remain as it is.' Drew, O'Brien and Atkinson argued the defeat of the amendment and the house adopted the advice. The bill was then carried by 44 votes to 15. Creighton gave notice of reconsideration. The vote on the fish bill was unanimous. I Last Tuesday in the Senate a long and hard fought argument arose over a desperate attempt to amend the Assembly Committee substitute Pish and Game bill, substituted by Shortridge for his own, as it contains identical provisions, but without success in a single instance. The most objectionable feature of the original bill which prohibited the hunting of ducks in rowboats, ate, had been eliminated in committee so the opponents of the measure were deprived of their strongest argument against the justice of the bill, it being admitted that had this provision remained in the bill the hunting of water fowl would have been a pleasure alone for the favored few. Wolfe first attacked the provision which makes it a misdemeanor for any person to have in his posses ion on any one day more than twenty-five quail, part- ridge, doves, snipe, curlew, Ibis, plover, rail or other shore bird, or more than fifty ducks. Wolfe offered an amendment which would permit keepers of mar- kets to have more than the numbers set forth, pro- viding, however, that they do not purchase more than is provided in the bag limit frotx any one person. Proponents of the bill held that such an amend ment would only encourage infractions of the law and it was beaten by a vote of 21 to 5. Leavitt sought to increase the number of deer any one hunter may kill during the open seaBon from two to three, but he was defeated. Leavitt and Wolfej then announced that they would offer other amend-' ments to the bill when it comes up for third reading and said they were positive with a full Senate of win- ning their points. The bill introduced by Senator Sanford, which has passed through the Senate and may become a law, provides for the maintenance of game preserves in every county of this State in which deer are to be found. The bill provides that the boundaries of the pre- serves shall be decided on by the Boards of Super- visors of the several counties, and shall not be less than ten nor more than 400 square miles in area. The object of the bill is to furnish a safe retreat for deer at all times of the year, and that by a reproduction of the species the animals will propagate and spread throughout the country. Game Bill Passes. A dispatch received from Sacramento yesterday in- forms ub that Assembly bill 820, the game bill framed by the Joint Committee on Fish and Game, after con- ference with the sportsmen, market hunters and shooters generally, covering a period of nearly two months, was finally passed bj the Senate Thursday afternoon and was sent to the Governor yesterday, by whom it will probably be signed and become a law The bill amends certain sections of the Penal Code. Some of its provisions are as follows: Section 626. Every person who, between the 15th day of February and the 15th day of October of any year, hunts, pursues, takes, kills or destroys or has in his possession, whether taken or killed in the State of California, or shipped into the State from any other State, Territory or foreign country, any valley quail, or partridge, or any kind of wild duck, or any rail, or any curlew, ibiB, plover or other shore birds (Limi- colas), or who for the purpose of taking, killing or destroying any kind of wild duck, hunts in or pursues the same with any kind of a sneak boat, or any kind of a scullboat, or any boat propelled or driven by steam, electricity or gasoline power; or who, between the 1st day of April and the 15th day of October of any year, hunts, pursues, takes, kills or destroys, or has in his possession any snipe; or who, between the 15th day of February and the 1st day of September of any year, hunts, pursues, takes, kills or destroys, or has In his possession, whether taken or killed in the State of California, or shipped into the State from any other State, Territory or foreign country, any mountain quail, grouse or sage hen, is guilty of mis- demeanor. Section 626c. Every person who takes, kills or de- stroys, or has in his possession any swan, or any Mon- golian or English pheasant, or any bob-white quail, or partridge is guilty of a misdemeanor. Section 626d. Every person who, duriDg any one calendar day, takes, kills, or destroys, or has in his possession, more than twenty-five quail, partridge, doves, snipe, curlew, ibis, plover, rail or any other shore birds (Limtcolse) or more than fifty wild ducks, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Section 626f. Every person who, between the 15th day of October and the 1st day of August of the fol- lowing year, hunts, pursues, takes, kills or destroys, or haB In his possession, whether taken or billed in the State of California, or shipped into the State from any other State, Territory or foreign country, any male deer or any deer meat, is quilt.v of a misdemeano. Section 626g. Every person who hunts, takes, kills or destroys, or has in his possession, any species of tree squirrel is guilty of a misdemeanor. Section 261i. Every person who takeB kills or de- stroys, or has in his possession, whether taken or killed in the State of California, or shipped into the State from any other State, Territory or foreign country more than two deer duriog any one open sea- son is guilty of a misdemeanor. Section 626k. Every person who buys, sells, offers or exposeB for sale, barter or trade, any quail, par- tridge, dove, pheasant grouse, sage hen, rail, ibis, plover or any snipe or other shore bird (Limicolte), or any deer meat, whether taken or killed in the State of California or shipped into the State from any other State, Territory or foreign country, is guilty of mis- demsanor. The remaining sections make it a misdemeanor for any railroad, express or i^ther common carrier to transport contraband game in violation of the fore- going, and prohibit the use of poison or trapB in taking or killiDg birds. The penalty section provides for a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $150, or imprisonment not less than 25 nor more than 150 days or both. ' A Perfect Trolling Rod. The "Skinner Special" is a three joint split bamboo rod designed and built for salmon, steelhead or Btriped baas angling. The materials comprising this specially made rod are first-class in every particular, selected with care and put together in the most skillful man- ner. The rod is ten feet in length mounted in German silver, the ferrules being extra strong, cold drawn and properly serrated. The wrappings are in red and black silk and artistically wound. The grip is 19 inches long, the butt joint extending through to the butt cap, the grip is make of cork. The reel seat is compact and strOEg and so made as to be water proof. The tip joint, and extra tip, are both fitted with a basket agate tip. The guides are the trumpet pattern. The butt joint is fitted with a raised agate guide that is slightly slanted so that there is a minimum of fric- tion on the line running from the reel. The guides have been so placed on the rods as to reduce to a de- gree the danger of breakage at the joints — a point ne- glected in the construction of many rods, particularly heavy or medium heavy ones. The "Skinner Special" is a marvel of balance and resiliency from tip to butt. It is an ideal rod for salmon or striped bass trolliDg. For steelhead fishing, in casting with spoon or bait it is a rod second to none. This rod has been thoroughly tested by expert anglers before being offered to the angling fraternity and can now be obtained or inspect- ed at the sporting goods store of the Shreve Barber Company, 739 Market Street, San Francisco. Pomona Gun Club Shoot. Twenty-seven shooters faced the traps at the open- ing Bhoot of the Pomona Gun Club, at Pomona, Feb 22, 1905. The shooters assembled at the grounds early in the morning, and began the slaughter of blue rocks for the season of 1905. One of the features of the shoot was the remarkable shooting of R. H. Bungay, a visitor from Ocean Park, whose first experience at the traps began in 1904. He shot brilliantly, making an average of 91}%, using TJ. M. C. shells. Mr. D. W. King, also a visitor, shot in rare form and used TJ. M. C. shells, breaking 73 out of 80. A feature of the day's shoot was the three ties for high average, Bungay of Ocean Park, Lovelace of Los Angeles (both of the above gentlemen being visitors) and Mr. King of the Pomona Gun Club making 91}%, and all using TJ. M. C. ammunition. There were twenty-seven shooters at the traps, seventeen of whom used TJ. M. C. "Acme," and "Magic" shells, again emphasizing the popularity and quality of these goods. Every attendant waB loud in his praise of the completeness of the arrange- ment^ and too much credit cannot be given the management for their splendidly arranged blue rock meet. « At the Washington's Birthday tournament at Ingleside under the auspices of the Golden Gate and Union Gun Clubs, W. H. Varien of Pacific Grove won the high average, 93%, using TJ. M. C shells. Out of forty-eight shooters contesting, forty of them used TJ. M. C "Acme," "Magic" and "Monarch" shells. Averages Reported. Brenham, Texas, January 23d to 25th, Fred Gilbert first general average, 519 out of 573, all targets shot at from the 20 yard mark R. O. Heikes second gen- eral average, 516 out of 573, shooting "Du Pont" and "Infallible" from the 19 yard mark. W. R. Crosby third general average, 508 out of 573, shooting "E.C." from the 19 yard mark, H. G. Taylor of Meckling, S. D., first amateur average, 505 out of 573, shooting "E. C." Mr. Taylor also won the Sunny South Handicap at pigeons, shooting "E. C." The Preliminary Handi- cap at 100 targets was won by W. Heer, 87 out of 100, shooting "E. C." In the Sunny South Handicap at targets Mr. Crosby at 19 yards and Mr. Gilbert at 20 yards tied on 94 out of 100. In the shoot off at 50 targets Mr. Crosby won by 27 to 26. Freeport, L.

Warren Robinson In Napa Register J "How do you fied and manage in gen- eral your young chicks?" This is an oft-repeated query made by sundry per- son interested in raising chickens who live near at hand and in distant localities. These frequent inquiriesprompt the writer to give herewith in detail the method he has for some time successfully used. These remarks will apply equally well to chickens hatched by hens or in the in- cubator. Many chicks will die in the shell if the door of the incubator is opened while the eggs are pipping After the hatch is off and the empty shells removed it is well to let the baby chicks remain in the nursery, with which most every incubator is now provided for twenty-four hours. In re- moving them to the breeder great care must be taken lest they become chilled. They will not want food of any kind until they are upwardB of forty-eight, or Bixty, hours old. Some poultrymen do not give chicks anything to eat helore they are three dayB old Finely broken grit-crockery, granite rock or glass with granulated charcoal, is the first ration placed before the youngsters Then fol- lows a diet for one or two days of stale bread crumbs slightly moistened with sweet milk squeezed very dry. For a week or two following rolled oats (or what is better, steel-cut oats), m llet seed and finely broken rice wi'l be found an excellent food. Great caution must be used in feeding. The universal ten- dency is to overfeed. One will hardly feed too little. Three times per day and only three times, from start to finish, is sufficient. Thousands of baby chicks are annuallv killed by mistaken kindness. They are fed too much; too often and coddled inordinately. Scatter the feed in bright, dry chaff in the brooder runs, in order that the chicks may exercise their leas, thus becoming day by day stronger. This is one way to avoid the leg weakness bo often noticed in ill-cared-for chicks. Too much bottom heat in the brooder is another cause, as is also the absence of meat in their rations, in some form to be given in small quanti- ties during the early life of the chicks. Milk curds, or ''Dutcn cheese," some- times called' "cottage cheese," is a very excellent article of food to be given once a day. It is a good plan to dry cook broken rice, using this as a ration now and then. This will make the little ones grow rapidly and will serve to check bowel trouble should any appear. If rice can be purchased cheap enough it will prove profitable to use it liberally both dry and cooked. Bowel trouble will not be noticed if due precautions are taken and if all the food is given in a dry state.. Mashes of any kind for young ehicks will be found un- profitable, at least if they are not as dry and crumby as it is possible to make them. Dry feeding for fowls of all ages is by far the better method, as has fre- quently been demonstrated. After the third week cracked wheat, cracked corn and millet seed wll be found an excellent diet. Cracked corn, wheat and beef Bcraps may be constantly kept before the young fow's after they are six weeks old and until they are graduated into the main yard, the pullets being then well-grown and laying their first litter of eggs, the cockrels well advanced. One need not be in haste to give the newly hatched chicks drink of any kind. A full week BOinetimes passes before liquidB are offered them. If water is pro- vided it should have the chill taken off. Warm new milk is to be recommended. If bowel trouble appears, evidenced by that untidy "pasting up behind," scalded milk will be found an excellent remedy. The dry method of feeding haB been adopted by very many poultrymen in all sections of the country, with much satis- faction and profit. This, with a goodly supply of grit and charcoal, together with comfortable quarters, an abundance of fresh air and sunshine, with a daily ra- tion of green food, will cause any brood of chickens to thrive and rapidly mature, if they have been well-bred and incu- bated. For the green food ration, finely chopped grasa may be used. There is nothing better or we think quite so good in this line as finely chopped onionB.

A year ago I addressed the farmers at a fair in LaCrosse, the county in which he resides. His entire herd was brought into the race track and I talked for an hour, taking the cows as my text. They were only grades, yet tbey earned him last year over $100 a piece in the sale of their cream alone. His cows earned him in cream and skim- milk $120 a year per cow. Mr. Griswold is a constant reader and student of what other men are doing. He uses four times as much dairy intelligence, does four times as much dairy thinking, reads four timesas much on dairy subjects.

ECUADOR Henry Wheatley, Napa GREEN'S RUFUS The Bay wood Stud, San Mateo NO APPROPRIATIONS have been made by the California Legislature, which will adjourn today, for the support of district fairB. The appropriation for the construction of buildings on the new State Fair grounds at Sacramento has been cut to about one-third of its original amount and so fixed that racing will have no part in the annual exposition. The bill which prohibited pool selling and betting on races has been smothered in the Senate, but passed the Assembly by a large majority. Breeders, owners and trainers of light harness horse9 should now organize and do something for themselves. The op- portunity to hold trotting and pacing races at the district fairs, which has existed for so many years in this State, haB gone, and as the Lord only helps those who help themselves, it is now in order for those in- terested in harness horses to get together, agree upou a plan and go to work. A harness racing circuit of mile tracks can be organized in California that will furnish first class sport each year for those who en- joy harness racing, and give trotters and pacers an earning capacity that will add much to their value. But chin music and newspaper talk will not organize associations and hang up purses, and somebody has got to do the work or meetings will not he given. Work has been started in Los Angeles, Pleasanton and Woodland. The Breeders will hold one meetiDg and if necessary will give one or two more. There are a half dozen places with good mile tracks, however, where the horsemen have so far made no move. Three or four good active men can organize an association and give a successful meeting. Are you interested in a meeting being held in your town? If you are, you can help. See three or four good responsible men and organize an association at once. If the Breeder and Sportsman can help you in any way it will be glad to do it. ^_^___^^^^_ Ai a Cf\f\ IS A GOODLY SUM for any associa ^J)1t",OUU tion on the Pacific Coast to offer for for four days harness racing. The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association will distribute that amount among the winners at its summer meet- ing this year and if you want part of it you will have to enter one or more of your horses in the events. Entries will close April 3d. THE TIME TO BUY a good one at a reasonable price is before it is fully developed. Oakwood Park Stock Farm has bred many horses that it has sold at auction for low prices that afterwards gained low records and brought thousands. Thirty head of as choice youngsters this noted 'arm has ever raised will he sold at auction in this city by Fred H. Chase & Co , on Tuesday evening, March 28th. They are fillies and geldings, two, three and four years old, and all royally bred and without blemish. Superin- tendent Fred Booth has them in fine condition to begin training and says they are the best lot the farm has sent to an auction in years. Catalogues will be out next week. Send for one. t Katberine A. 2:1]|, which was shipped on specula- tion to Europe did not find a purchaser at the price asked and is now on the way home again if she has not already landed. A lady's fine driving horse 17 hands, a handsome chestnut and perfectly sound and geDtleis offered for Bale. Also a fine Moffitt leather harness. See ad. These are bargains. While Ethan Allen 2:25i has but six performers in the 2:30 list, yet no less than 63 others of his get took records from 2:30J to 2:59}, and most of these were made from 30 to 35 years ago according to Battell's Morgan Horse and Register. BIT AND SPUR iB the title of a brand new horse magazine issued in Chicago, with A. E. Ash- brook as publisher and manager, and Miss Minnie Mc- Intyre as editor. Mr. Ashbrook and Miss Mclntyre were the founders of the Horse Show Monthly published at Kansas City, a publication that has met with rj uch favor, but in Hit and Spur they have designed one of the neatest, newsiest and best printed journals devoted to "the horse of high estate" that has ever come to our desk. It is a monthly, beautifully illustrated and containing articles and items that will interest all those who are identified with coach, road or show horses. THE WISE HORSEMAN is the one who knows a good thing when he sees it Ben Tufts, who paid $2350 for Chimes 2:30}, has already booked twenty-seven mares to the former premier of Village Farm at the remunerative fee of $75. Pony Racing at Ingleside. Good weather will be the only thing necessary to insure a big crowd of society folk at Ingleside course today, where the California Polo and Pony Racing Association will hold its first spring race meet- ing. There are six events carded and the last will be an exceptionally attractive feature as the fast thoroughbreds Fusillade, Ethel G., Morning Glory and Cacahaute will meet in a race of one mile. The program is as follows: Three-sixteenths of a mile — Don, Chanate, Queen Rucker, Princess Flavia. One-half mile — Althomer, Bas Blancs, Midlove- Protocol, Carlotta. One-quarter mile — Brown Peggy, Don, Alvernio, Queen Rucker, Prince6S Flavia. Five-eighths of a mile— Honoma, Cheerful, Midlove, Morning Glory, Carlotta. Three-eighths of a mile — Hopeful, Brown Peggy, Bas Blancs, Chanate, Protocol, Carlotta. One mile — Cacahaute, Ethel G., Morning Glory, Fusillade. » Good Money on the Grand Circuit. If you own a horse that is of Grand Circuit calibre there is good money for you to take a chance at on the big ring this year. The purses at the different places down the line will be as follows: Detroit. July 24 to 29 S5O.O00 Cleveland, July 31 to Aug, 4 40,000 Buffalo, Aug 7 to 12 40,000 Empire City, Aug. 14 to 19 40.000 Readvllle.

Oct. 16 to 28 30,000 Lyxington, Oct. 3 to 14 80.000 Total $505,000 All the above meetings will be largely attended and the purses well patronized. ♦ Great interest is being manifested in New York as to the probable sucoess of the trotting and pacing meeting which is to be held in connection with the Horse Fair in Madison Square Garden, April 24 to 30. Seth Griffin, the most expert of all track builders, has been engaged to construct the course and the turns will be thrown up so as to make it safe to go around them at top speed. Frank B. Walker has been engaged to do the starting and Secretary Gurney C Gue is leaving no Btone unturned to keep the meet- ing in the public eye. The program of purses, which are worth from $200 to $300 each, has been regularly advertised in the turf and daily papers, and it is an- nounced that many horses are being specially pre- pared for the event. At the dispersal of the Village Farm horse Manager E. T. Gay of the Maplewood Haekney Stud purchased several trotting-bred mares, the intention, it is said, being to mate them with pure-bred Hackney stallions for the production of high-class carriage horses. An advertiser offers two Kentucky bred horses for sale; one a trotter, the other a pacer. The trotter iB an all round horse, a fine roadsters and good saddle horse. The price is only $300. The pacing mare is by Eagle Bird, sire of 47 in the list, and a son of the great Jay Bird. $600 is asked for her. The man who purchased Sadie Baron 2:09} at the late New York sales, shipped her to Philadelphia in a boxcar, but without a caretaker. En route someone broke into the car and stole all her blankets, and when the mare got to her destination her temperature was found to be 107. The result is a severe case of pneumonia. It is always safer and sometimes more economical to have a caretaker in the car when ship- ping a valuable animal. A Lexington, Ky., dispatch says that the old trot- ting horse firm of Bowerman Bros, has been dissolved, George Bowerman retiring, and Mike Bowerman tak- ing into partnership his son, Eugene Bowerman. The firm is one of the oldeEt and best known in the country, having been in existence Bince 1883. Among the 2:20 performers developed by the Bowermans are: Wilton 2:19}, Moquette 2:10, Rubber 2:10, Daintv Daffo 2:13}; Wilburn M. 2:10, and many others. Mr R. N. Gray, of Alvarado, Texas, who has been sojourning In Southern California for some months, returned to his old home last month and took with him a two-year-old colt by H. W. Sylvester's stallion, Royal Derby. Mr. Gray paid $500 for the colt which is a fine looker and quite promising. Mr. Sylvester expects to put Royal Derby in training for a record thiB year, as, though never trained, he has shown enough speed on the road to warrant his owner pre- dicting a 2:10 mark for him. Dr. J. J. Summerfield, the leadiDg veterinary of Sonoma county, returned to Santa Rosa this week after a five months absence, during which he visited the old folks at home in England . The Doctor stopped over in New York a few days and says that judging by the carriage and park horses he saw, the supply of goo d animals must be very short, as the average was very poor. The horse shortage is being felt all over tbe country. Dr. Summerfield was glad to get back to California and says it is the only country on earth. Some years ago C. J. Hamlin of tbe Village Farm sent ten standard bred mares out to Illinois to be bred to an imported French coach stallion in tbe hopes of obtaining something worth while in the jvay of carriage horses. As any one of common sense might have questioned the experiment proved a great fizzle. The horses from this mating were sold at the Fasig- Tipton sale in New York City recently, a market where fine coach horses are always in demand and brought an average of only $165 a head. The ex- periment was tried but once. — Field &• Farm. Tlie Horseman is authority for the statement that the large Chicago packing firms of Armour & Co., Libby, McNeil & Libby, Swift & Co. and Schwarzs- child & Sulzberger, together with the Pabst Brewing Co., have quit competing with one another in the Chicago horse market for fancy drafters. As a proof of this it cites an instance where a 2000-pound roan gelding was put up for sale and not a single bid was made on him by one of these firms, despite the fact that he was every bit as good as the geldi.ig that made the record figure of $660 last year. Tlie Horseman says in this connection: "Comparing the two animals and their prices under tbe hammer it is seen that fanciers were willing to pay 40 to 50 per cent more than horses were worth for commercial use when pur- chased to compete In the show ring. To date not a single animal draft has changed hands at anything but commercial values. " Oregon breeders of light harness horses will be given an opportunity to mingle the blood of the fam- ous Hal family with their native stook this year, as the well-known artist. Homer Davenport, irtende Bhipping bis stallion. Hal D , by Brown Hal 2:12J, to that far off corner of the Northwest for public servioe, says Trotter and Pacer. There are quite a number of high-class pacing bred mares in Oregon bearing tbe blood of old Altamont, that took his record of 2:26}, to wagon, at Oakland, Cal , in 1885, which it is thought will produce fast ones to the Hal cross. The stallion will be shipped West this Bpring, and he will be the firBt Hal ever sent there to do public service. He is sent at tbe request of the breeders of that sec- tion. Hal. D. was bred by Major Campbell Brown, at the home of the Hals, Spring Hill, Tenn. He h lot of style and action as well as speed, and is seven years old. Cue gveeoev cmfr ^povtsmaxi [March 11, 1905 Notes and News. Briquette, by Zombro 2:11, $5000. Mamie R. (3) 2:15* by Son of Oro Wilkes, S6000. Both sales made in California last week show there is money in a good trotter. John I. Sparrow, 3156 Mission street, is selling many Miller training and road carts. Write him about these carts Parties having good road horses for sale should advertise them. We have several inquiries from people who want horses at prices ranging from $250 to $500. Mr. P. H. McEvoy of Menlo Park will send his stal- lion Menlo Boy by Prince Airlie (sire of Milbrae 2:16$) dam Signal by Del Sur to the vicinity of Half Moon Bay for the season of 1905. Arion 2:0"! was purchased at the Midwinter Sale for S2500, and a letter from his owner, M. W. Savage, of Minneapolis, states that he refused $10,000 for the son of Electioneer last week and would not consider an offer of $25,000 for him. One of the best individuals among the stallions of California is Petigru 2:10J a grandson of the great Onward and from a long line of great broodmares. He is siring trotters too. as his two-year-olds are giv- ing proof. If you are anything of a student of breeding turn to the advertisement of Dillcara and read it over carefully. There is choice goods, the very acme of breeding for a producing sire. Look over the list of great sires and great broodmares, and you will say there is a young stallion worth breeding the very best mares to. Grace Speers, the three- year-old filly by Waldstein out of Sadie Moor 2:26 by the Grand Moor, that William Johnson ia training at Pleasanton, trotted a quarterin 39 seconds for him lasu week which is pretty good evidence that she will be quite a trotter as she is only just nicely broken and has had no previous training except being driven a few times as a two- year-old. Every horseman in California that has been heard from is speaking a good word for I Direct 2:12$, the handsome son of Direct 2:051 owned by Mabry Mc- Mahan of this city, and now in charge of Prof. H. B. Freeman at Sacramento. If there is one among them who has an unkind word to say of the little horse he has not yet made his appearance, and if he does he will be hailed as the original knocker from Knoxville. Fred J. Vetter, of this city, is driving a nice chest- nut mare with white stockings by St. Nicholas, son of Sidney that looks like a good prospect. She can show a three minute gait without any training, and has a way of going that is very attractive. Lady Zombro 2:2-! $ the trotting mare by Zombro 2:11 owned by Mr. Whittier, and being trained by P. W. Hodges at Pleasanton, stepped a njile in 2:17 recently, the last half in 1:05. Lady Zombro is one of the best prospects for a real fast one there is in California. Get your horses pointed for some of that $14,500 hung up by the Breeders Association to be distributed at its meeting this year The first thing necessary is to make an entry. There will be no trouble causing substitution clause thiB year, and if you want to win you will have to enter April 3d. Note the increase in the value of the purses offered for trotters, pacers and runners by the Utah Racing Association, whose advertisement will be found in our columns today. There is also a change in seme of the dates. Salt Lake City is a great trotting town, and there are big crowds at all the meetings. A company of ranchers of Monterey county, has purchased for $3000 the fine black Percheron stallion Casino recently brought to this State. Those who formed the company are John McEt tee, Frank Hook, C. H. Wideman, G. J. Pat ton, John Pihl, Henry Sands, Henry TwUselmann and Dennis Allen. Twelve thousand dollars in purses are offered by the Utah Racing Association for its six days' meeting to open Monday, July 24th. The free-for-all pacers are offered $1000, and the 2:14 class pacers the same amount. All other purses are $500. See the advertise- ment, and send -to this office for entry blanks. Mr. P. W. Bsllingall, the well known customs broker of this city owns a Nutwood Wilkes colt coaling two years old, that is such a promising young trotter, he has sent the dam, a handsome and fast trotter by Secretary, back to the Nutwood Stock Farm, to be bred again to the sire of John A. Mc- Kerron 2:04). Now that the training season nas fairly ODened, a good cart or bike is an absolute necessity and it is also necessary that the wheels run true with the least possible friction. Kenney, the bikeman at 531 Market street, is the leading expert on the Coast on bike wheels. Get him to fix yours, or call on him for a new iiike if ihe old one is worn out. Write thisdate — March 28th— on your cuff, or, if you don't wear cuffs put it down in your note book or in the "tablet of your memory '' Oakwood Park Stock Farm will sell on that date at Fred H. ChaEe & Co. 's salesyard, thirty head of two, three and four- year-old geldings and fillies that are the finest lot consigned to a sale by this farm for years. There is not a blemished one in the consignment and they are by Chas. Derby, Steinway, Owyhee, Direct and -Geo. W. Archer (son of Ailerton), and out of some of the best mares on the'farm. Captain Newton of Los Angeles brought a trotter by his horse Titus up to Pleasanton last week that is now a member of the Butler string. This trotter is a stallion and it is said worked a mile in 2:13$ before leaving Los Angeles. Titus, his sire is by Director and is sire of Stipulator 2:11}. 1 he dam of Captain Newton's stallion is by McKinney. This is said to be one of the best trotting prospects seen in Pleasanton for some time. At the Ottawa ice racing, February 8th, Mr. Alex- ander McLaren won the $1000 stake for 2:35 class trotters with the mare Lady Mary Tudor by the Cali- fornia bred trotter Directum 2:05}, out of Pearl Mc- Gregor 2:23| by Robert McGregor. It took six heats to decide the race, Lady Mary Tudor winning the first, second and sixth. The best tim» was 2:26. The get of Directum seem to be getting the money on all sorts of tracks. Ecuador 7785 a Hackney stallion imported from England this season by Henry Wheatley of Napa county, is advertised in this issue. Ecuador is a dark chestnut, 15.3 hands high and weighs 1250 pounds, has fine action and is a splendid specimen of the Hackney breed. Mr. Wheatley has placed the service fee this year at the low price of $15 to get his horse introduced to the breeders of carriage horses in Cali- fornia. See advertisement for further particulars. Frank Turner, Superintendent of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm has a ten months old trotter by his stallion Frank S. Turner, dam Caratone that began showing speed as soon as hitched up and knows nothing but trot. The fifth time it was taken on the track the youngster trotted a quarter in 50 seconds, another in 49$ and a third in 48$. That's a lot of speed for a baby to show and speakB well for Frank S. Turner 2:2S as a sire, as the colt is one of the ftrst of his get. Tennysonian, a California bred stallion by Elec- tricity, son of Electioneer, dam Swift by Sidney, is now located at Mount Vernon race track, Skagit county, Washington, where his owner George Butters has placed him in the stud. Tennysonian 's colts, as our readers are aware, have been attracting much attention in the northern country lately, and he will be a member of the Great Table before this year is over. He is a well bred horse and the breeders of Washington should patronize him. Charley De Ryder has a pacer in his Pleasanton string that can pace an eighth fast enough to choke some of the alleged runners over at Emeryville to death were they tied to him with a rope. The side- wheeler referred to is Alford C. 2:12$ by Longworth, son of Sidney, that James Butler recently purchased from the estate of A C. Dietz. One day this week De Ryder let Alford C. have his head and he paced an eighth ic 13} seconds. Longworth, sire of Alford C, had a pacing record of 2:19 as a four year-old. Mr. John Pastene of the Pastene Fruit Company has just purchased from J. I. Sparrow a Jerald speed wagon, that is a new thing in this city. It is a real speed wagon, but has a seat wide enough for two. It weighs 125 pounds and is a beauty. Mr. Pastene will drive his big bay pacer to it and he should make the dust fly even with "two in the buggy." Mr. Frank H. Burke, proprietor of La Siesta Farm, reports that the old favorite trotting mare Wanda 2:14^ foaled a bay colt, no marks, on the morning of March 7th. The colt is by Iran Alto 2:12} and is entered in the Breeders . Futurity and other rich atakes. Wanda is dam of The Roman 2:09$, and is by Eros out of Accident dam of five in the list, by Elmo Here's good news for Contra Costa horsemen. The Concord Transcript of last Saturday says: "The Directors of the Contra Costa Driving Club met in Martinez on Thursday afternoon and decided to raise the money to pay off the indebtedness already on the track and then go ahead and make the necessary im- provements which are needed, so that inducements may be offered to horsemen to train there."

Dixon, March 7 — The chief topic of conversation in all circles around Dixon this week was the sale of the famous young mare Mamie R. (3) 2:15* for $6000 by M. J. Reams to James Butler of New York. Mr. Butler came to look at the mare Saturday and eventu- ally closed the deal and on Monday she was shipped to the Pleasanton track in charge of J. W. Flynn. Prospects are very bright here for a good season among the horsemen and with a meeting on May 1st, already advertised, and the possibility of another in the fall, unusual interest is being manifested. T. G. Horigan, one of the most popular business men and horsemen, has recently become the sole owner of the Dixon Driving Park and with Del Dudley as his right hand man and secretary will endeavor to make it even a still more popular place for training and racing. There are quite a number of good horses now in training at the track and, ir> fact, the stall room is all occupied. Walter Trefry is working nine head in- cluding Ramona, a three-year-old filly byZombro, out of a mare by Antevolo, that has worked an eighth in 17} seconds; Rex Almont, a green stallion by Prince Almont, out of Dolly by Inca; Aoita Wilkes by a son of Guy Wilkes, dam by Antevolo; Antonius, a promis- ing green pacer by Antonio, out of Favor by Wald- stein that has shown a 2:10 gait; Jim Mack by Carbon; T. S by a son of Oro Wilkes; Babe, a four-year-old filly by Falrose, owned by H. Robin; and a three-year- old filly by Dictatus. Mamie R. 2:15* was not the only good one in the string of Mannie Reams, for he still nas in training Ring Rose 2:211 by Falrose, owned by A. Hailing, of San Francisco; Smiley by Bayswater Wilkes-Rose; a half brother to Mamie R. owned by Ray Bennett, Vacaville; and a half dozen other promising green ones. This week he purchased of Rush & Haile, Suisun, a very handsome three-year-old colt by Demonio, dam by Oro Wilkes, grandam by Le Grand, and in partnership with Mr. Horigan bought a couple of good youngsters by the same sire. The veteran trainer Lou Matavia is not operating a stable this season but he has a young stallion that is attracting a great deal of attention in the four-year- old colt Alton by Altamont, out of Winnie by Alex- ander Button. Last season he trained him in his three-year-old form and in the fall drove him a mile to a heavy cart over the local track in 2:25 with an eighth in 15 seconds and it is reasonable to expect him to easily shade 2:10 next season. He is a trimly built and handsome young horse of the Direct type and will have ample opportunity to prove his worth in the bands of Mr. Matavia. Del Dudley is the busiest man you ever saw, for in addition to successfully managing his big ranch near Dixon and acting as Secretary of the local association he has Friskarena (3) 2:13§ by Bayswater Wilkes, Lorna Doone a five year-old sister to the above and McFadyen a two-year-old colt by Diablo, out of Bee by Sterling, in tbe hands of S. H. Hoy at Winters, and a Diablo colt in the hands of Fred Chadbourne at Pleasanton. He also keeps his weather eye on a very select band of broodmares and he is breeding along lines that should someday make his farm even more well known. One youngster he owns and can point to with pride is Palite, a two-year-old by Nutwood Wilkes, out of Palita (2) 2:16 by Palo Alto; grandam Elsie (dam of 5) by Gen. Benton; third dam Elaine by Mess. Duroc, etc. J. W. Marshall is another of Dixon's breeders who believes that the very best just about suits him and he owns some that are bred in the purple. He is the fortunate owner of one of the very few colts by the sire of Mamie R. (3) 2:15} and the one he owns is a four-year-old pacing mare called Our Mamie, and out of Trix (dam of Mona Wilkes (2) 2:175; by Nutwood Wilkes. This one is said to be too good to talk about right now. He also has a full sister to Alton, de- scribed above; a two-year-old filly by Demonio, dam by Phallap, and some promising youngsters by Diablo. His great mare Sophie by Robt. McGregor is safe in foal to Jules Verne. The popular young auctioneer and horseman W. G. Harris has been dealing very successfully in high actors and recently sold to M. H. De Young of San Francisco a cheBtnut coach team of quality. Last week he purchased of Frank Wire, Davisville, a team of 16} hand brown coachers that promise to develop into the right kind with a little education Dr. J. H. Haile is the owner of a right good mare by Bradtmoor, dam by Echo, and a four-year-old filly by Isaac D., out of the above mare. The filly will be bred to Alton. The handsome young McKinney stallion Money Mack by McKinney 2:11 J, dam Patti Washington by Geo. Washington, is making a part of his season here in charge of W. S. Kellaway. He is a nicely turned bay horse, with a very nice head and neck and is said to have his share of the speed of the family. He is owned by A. B. Rodman of Woodland. HOY STRING AT WINTERS. Winters, March 8— The veteran reinsman Sam H. Hoy is the only trainer of prominence located at Winters and he and his son will have their hands full, now having almost a score of trotters and pacers in the course of preparation for the summer's cam- paign. In addition to their old standby, Bayswater Wilkes 2:25} by Sable Wilkes 2:18, that is making a season three days at Dixon and three at Winters in charge of Will Hoy, they now have the following in training: Friskarena (3) 2:13J by Bayswater Wilkes 2:25}, out of Bee by Sterling; Lorna Doone, a five-year- old sister to the above mare; and McFadyen, a very promising two-year old, all owned by Del Dudley, of Dixon; Ruby H., a pacing mare by Bayswater Wilkes, out of Smut (dam of Rita H. 2:11 J, etc ) by Prompter, that worked in 2:16 last year; Little Babe 2:25}, a black trotting mare by Bradtmoor; The Oregon, a four-year-old pacer by Altamont, out of Algenie (dam of Kelly Briggs2:09}) by Algona; Jules Verne, a hand- some five-year-old stallion by Demonio that trotted in 2:22 last fall and is now being worked at the pace; Suisun, a green pacing mare by Demonio; a three- year-old pacing colt by Bayswater Wilkes, out of Bessie Rankin 2:13J by Altamont, owned by Milton Keifer, Woodland; a two-year-old trotting filly by Bayswater Wilkes, dam by Nutwood Wilkes, owned by Thornton Glide, Dixon; Ben H., a three-year-old trotter by Capt. Jones, out of a mare by Bayswater Wilkes, owned by Will Hoy ; a green mare by Diawood 2:11, out of the dam of Ben H. ; a two-year-old bay pacing filly by Bayswater Wilkes, out of Easter Wilkes; and a promising green trotter by Oro Bel- mont. Nothing in the string has been given any stiff miles yet, but about all of the lot have been given quarters at a 2:25 gait and will be ready for business in a few weeks. Bayswater Wiikes is looking in the finest shape this spring and there is a big demand for his services. Besides being a sire of such well known performers as Kelly Briggs 2:09} and Friskarena (3) 2:13|, he gets the kind that have quality and finish along with their speed, the kind that are always sought after by breeders. A number of high class mares are already booked to him and he should have a big season. DAVISVILLE ITEMS. Davisville, March 9— Davisville is not the biggest town on the map but it stands well up when it comes to the trotting horse business and the men who are interested in the breeding industry here may be always found in line for advancement. One of the latest projects on tap is a new race track and if every thing goes along smoothly a first-class half-mile or three-quarters mile ring will be built on a nice strip of land right on the edge of town, which is now under the control of the popular liveryman I. B. HugheB, who is quite a hu9tler and should make a very suc- cessful manager. This talk of a new track here has created a wonderful amount of interest there and in all probability Davisville will be in line with a meet- ing in 1906. Carey Montgomery is one of the most prominent horsemen here and at his ranch a short piece from town is located a very useful half-mile track, which is the only one in the vicinity, and where he trains a small but select string. The pride of the lot is the chestnut three-year-old filly, Lady Carratta, by Nut- wood Wilkes, out of Abbie Woodnut (dam of Diawood 2:11 and Abdine 2:17) by Woodnut, and it goes with- out saying that she is a really high-class prospect and has shown a mile in 2:36 with quarters at a 2:20 gait. She is a nicely made, well coupled filly with the best of legs and feet and her owner expects to make a high-class race mare out of her. Mr. Montgomery is also training Chaser, a three-year-old pacing colt by Diablo 2:09}, dam Chippie by Tilton Almont and May Logan a yearling sister to the famous California side- wheeler Sir Albert S. 2:03|. A recent acquisition to his ranch is the handsome chestnutstallion Steinmont 40582 by Arthur B. 2:17} out of Francisca (dam of I Direct 2:12}, Sable Francis 2:15} and the three others) by Almont 33. In addition to this royal breeding he is a horse of the most striking appearance, rich chest- nut, standing close to 16 hands, with a very sy metri- cal conformation and is destined to develop into a successful sire He will make the season in the hands of Mr. Montgomery and will then be raced O. B. Wilbur is training Sleepy Joe2:26} by Director Jr. out of the dam of Don 2:10 and will probably be able to give him a good mark this fall. Johnny Johnson is educating a full brother to Don 2:10 by Falroseand he looks like a high class prospect. S. W. Lillard has his hands full right at present as he is in charge of the popular stallions Athamax 36927 by Athadon 2:27, dam Lusterine (dam of Listerine 2:13} and Donnatrine (3) 2:26}) by Onward, grandam Minnie Wren; and Wild Rose by Falrose out of Gypsy Maid by St. Clair. Both are well made bay stallions, the former a trotter and the latter a pacer and each has shown quite a turn of speed. It will be noticed that Athamax is a very strongly bred horse and an inbred Onward, but he lacks the usual roughness of that famous family, and his first colts have a great finish and natural turn of speed. Wild Rose is a magnificent big horse and an oily going pacer and promises to prove a worthy representative of his famous sire. In the same quarters is located that iron race horse John A. 2:12}, in charge of T.D.White and he has proven to be one of the most popular horses here. He is a very handsome horse, standing 16} hands and weighing over 1200 pounds; by Wayland W. 2:12} out of Lady Moor (dam of Arthur W. 2:11}, etc.Jby Grand Moor; grandam the thoroughbred Dinsmbre Mare. John A. has been a successful race horse and has been returned a winner every year since he was a three-year-old. He has beaten 2:10 in his races and is expected to earn a record close to 2:08 this summer. 0. H. Wright is the fortunate owner of the young pacing stallion Mona Wilkesand with properhandling he will undoubtedly make himself known. He is a remarkably handsome, rangy built bay horse with a good neck and intelligent head and reminded the writer very much of one or two of the famous race horses of the Hal tribe. He is a son of Falrose and his first three dams are by Guy Wiikes, Noonday and Williamson's Belmont in tbe order named. 1. B. Hughss has recently purchased the trotting mare Lena 2:30 by Director Prince and will breed her to Nushagak. W. J. Stone owns Babe by Silver King, now heavy in foal to John A. 2:12f and will breed her back to the same sire. Elmo Montgomery, who made a successful campaign with Seymow M. 2:23 has no trotters in training this spring but has a couple of thoroughbreds that are thought to be good enough to get the "coon skins" in good company. B. S. McMAHAN. James Butler Buys Mamie R. 2:15 1-2. The little trotting filly Mamie R., that Mannie Reams campaigned in Calffornia last year, has been purchased by James Butler, proprietorof East View Farmland tne owners of four-year-olds that will race in California this year are feeling easier, as it will not be so hard for them to win first money with the gran- daughter of Oro Wilkes out of the the Slate. Mr. Butler has been on a visit to his California fairn at Pleasanton, and hearing about the good showing made by this little mare, went up to Dixon last week and paid the price Mr. Reams placed on her. which was not too bigh figure of $6000. Mamie R.'s history has been related before in these columns, but a short resume of it will not be out of place She was bred by Rush & Haile of Suisun, and her dam dying soon after the filly was foaled, her breeders gave her to Mannie Beams, who raised her on cow's milk. As a two-year-old she was started once in a field of aged horses and finished third each heat, tbe fastest of which was 2:21f. As a three-year-old in 1904 she had no stake engagements but was started in three races, the summaries of which are here given: Pleasanton, July 29, three-year-olos, $600— Mamie R. 1-1-1. Murray M 4-2-2, Paprika 2-4-4, Allesandro 3-3-3, Maggie Glynn 5-5-5. Time— 2:22}, 2:22}, 2:21}. San Jose, Aug. 4, 2:18 class, $600— Briney K 1-1-1, Mamie R. 2-2-2, Verona 3-3-3, Cicero 4-4-4. Time— 2:20, 2:19, 2:18}. Santa Rosa, Aug. 18, three-year-olds, 2:30 class, $400— Mamie R. 1-1-2-1, Murray M. 2-2-1-2, Paprika 3 3-3-3, Allesandro 4-4-dis. time— 2:18, 2:18, 2:14, 2:15}. The sire of Mamie R. was a two-year-old son of Oro Wilkes that was out of Auntie by Dawn 2:18|, next Mamie E. (3) 2:15y. dam Netteo by Anteeo 2:16}, next dam Nettie Bennett by Alexander 2:31}, next dam Jennie Shepherd by Williamson's Belmont. The dam of Mamie R. is Moscova by Belmont 64, her dam Mosa, great brood- mare by Woodford Mambrino 345, next dam Heimosa 2:23} by Ed win Forrest 49, next dam by Tom Teemer andnext dam by Cannon's Whip. The breeding of Mamie R. is rich in trotting blood with a generous leavening of the thoroughbred that has been demon- strated to be a good cross with trotting strains, viz.: Williamson's Belmont, Whip Sally Rus6ell and Columbine. At the time the two-year-old son of Oro Wilkes was mated with Moscova, the old mare was about eighteen years old. Mamie R. is sound and all right in every way, and his record of 2:15} should be lowered to 2:10 this year. We congratulate Mr. Reams on selling the filly for a fair price and Mr. Butler on getting such a valuable one for his string of campaigners. Chas. De Ryder will have her in charge at Pleasanton and will take her East about May 1st, with the other horses of East View Farm's campaigning stable. After Twenty Years' Feeding San Francisco, Cal , Dec. 27, 1904. Manhattan. Fooil Co., C. P. Kertell, Mgr. Dear Sir:— After twenty years or constant feeding of your cel- ebrated Red Ball Brand Stock Food to ourhorses, I can cheerfully testify that I have always found it reliable. It does all you claim for it. aDd I have ft fed as regularly as oats. I have used a 100-lb. sack of your Food every month during the past twenty years, and if any one knows about its good qualities. I ought to know. It keeps horses in a healthy condition, prevents colic, cures cough, strengthens the kidneys and fattens stock I give it my hearty endorsement, because I know it Is excellent for horses. There is nothing better. Yours truly, La Grande Laundry Co , WM. Corbett, Sec The Reason Why So many owners of horses are successful in keeping them In good health is that they anticipate probable dangers of germ diseases by keeping on hand a constant supply of Craft's Distemper and Cough Cure. It Is a sure condition of success in life that one must attend to details. The poor dumb animals can not care for themselves when they are restrained in the barn and by the liriule bit. In accepting service from this noble creature the owner in- curs the responsibility for Its health Craft's Cure Is both a preventive and a guaranteed cure. The manufacturers. Wells Medicine Co.. Lafayette, Ind , offer to return the price where It falls to cure. Sensible ownersot horses will consult their drilggfsts at once if not already supplied. Free Service to a High Class Stallion.

Sidney Dillon Guy Wilkes Director Mambrino Chief Bellfounder DILLCARA PEDIGREE: DILLCARA, foaled 1902 by SIDNEY DILLON 23157 First dam, QUYCARA 2:18f by QUY WILKES 2867 (2:15+) Second dam, BISCARA by DIRECTOR 2:17 Third dam, BICARA by HAROLD Fourth dam, BELLE by MAMBRINO CHIEF Fifth dam, BELLE LUPE by BELLFOUNDER (Brown's) The above dams in this young stallion's pedigree are the choicest. The first dam is a young brood mare with a record oi 2:18&; the second dam is the dam oi 4 in the list with records of 2:1834, 2:I8?4'. 2:24H and 2:37, respec- tively; theihird dam was the dam of 5 with records, 2:21^,2:21^, S:26M etc, was the dam of the great sire Pancoast, who founded a great family, and the good sires Balzec Chief and Bezant and the good brood mare Cora Mia; the fourth dam was the dam of McCurdy's Hambletonian 2:28ylt a good sire and also the dam of the great sire Belmont sire of Nut- wood, etc. Hence from his dams have come two great families— the Belmont-Nutwood and the Pancoast-Patrcn-Patronage-Prodi- gal families. The dam of the sire and the dams of the sires of the first and second dams were great brood mares who were also the dams of other great sires. Venus, the dam of Sidney Dillon, was the dam of Cupid 2:18, who produced weil; Lady Bunker, the dam of Guy Wilkes, was the dam of Wm L., sire of Axtel, and El Mahdi 2:25}£ and Declaration, who were each the sire of several good ones: Dolly, the dam of Director, was the dam of Onward 2:25m: and Thorndale 2:22, both of which were great sires. The above sires, the sire of this colt and the sires of the first, second, third and fourth dams, have each produced one or more world record holders. They have also produced many others who were the gamest, the most levelheaded and the largest money winners in the trotting world. The first four trace in the male line to Hambletonian 10 through ancestors which, in each and every genera- tion, have been the best producers of their day and have been better producers than their sires or grandsires. In DILLCARA'S pedi- gree there are sis crosses of Hambletonian 10, each of which goes to him through only the best producing lines, and five crosses of Mam- brino Chief, each of which goes to him through dams that have been extraordinary producers. Individually, this young stallion, DILLCARA, is as good as his pedigree. He is of the stout, blocky type, without coarseness, and he is a superb model of his type. He has excellent trotting action and a great degree of natural speed. He has never yet been in the hands of a trainer, his owner preferring for stock purposes a sire that has never been raced and has enjoyed freedom from the nervous and physical strain of severe drilling and racing, expecttrjg that as a consequence the produce will be more valuable. Mated with well-bred mares by McKinney. Director, Direct and Nutwood. DILLCARA'S produce should be as valuable as could be obtained for racing and breeding purposes. DILLCARA will make the Season of 1905 at some place near San Francisco, not yet decided upon. Limited to well-bred mares. SERVICE FEE S40. For particularsaddress C.

ECUADOR Henry Wheatley, Napa GREEN'S RUFUS The Baywood Stud, San Mateo TWO WEEKS FROM MONDAY NEXT, on the 3d day of April, entries will close for a rich program of trotting and pacing events offered by the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association for its August meeting. While there is no regular circuit in California, there is some good racing every year, and the fact i9 due to the existence of this asso- ciation, which through years of depression and sea- sons of prosperity has never failed, since its organiza- tion to give one and sometimes three or four meetings each year at which good purses and stakes were offered. To this fact more than anything else is attributed the keeping alive of trotting interests on this Coast, and breeders and owners should remember this and do everything to aid the association in secur- ing a largelist of entries, The trotter that wins the 2:24 class at the Breeders meeting any year, earns more money than tbe majority taken across the mountains to race, as this stake is worth $1000 to the winner, to say nothing of other races here which a borse in that class has the opportunity of winning. At the Breeders meeting this year $14,500 will be dis- tributed among the winners of twelve races. The 2:24 class trot is for $2000, the 2:20 pace for $1500, and there are five $800 purses for other classes In the Futurity for three-year-old trotters $2300 is this portion, while $1300 is the amount the three- year-old pacers will contest for. The two-year-old Futurity trotters have $1450 to race for and the two- year old pacers $950. Verily these are pretty rich events for one association to give, and the fact that in an existence of many years the P. C. T. H. B. A. haB never defaulted in its paymeuts and always has the money in its treasury to pay every purse, is sufficient guarantee to owners that they will get their money if they win it. There are four or live tracks in Califor- nia that will announce good purses this year as soon as their managers see how the Breeder's program fills. It is unfortunate, but no less true, that California associations are given to waiting on the Breeders every year, and fear to take the lead in arranging programs preferring to follow in the wake of the P. C. T. H. B. A. It therefore behooves horse owners and trainers to make the entry list for the Breeders meeting as large as possible that the other associations may be induced to arrange liberal programs. Last year, the Pleasanton, San Jose, Vallejo and Santa Rosa meet- ings all furnished excellent racing, and no small cir- cuit ever gave a cleaner series of contests. Had the State Fair not proven a fiasco the short season of harness racing in California would have been a big success. This year Pleasanton, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Woodland and Los Angeles will give meetings without a doubt, and Petaluma Vallejo, Fresno, and one or two more tracks may be inline. Hanford, where a good meeting with small purses Is regularly given, Hollister, Salinas, Tulare, Dkiab, Eureka and a half dozen othertracks will offer purses from $200 to $500, and there will be plenty of racing for those who have trotters and pacers in con- dition to start. Owners of good prospects should recollect that the purses are not the only things to be gained by racing them. The case of the three-year- old Ally Mamie R., winner of two small purses last year, is one to consider. Many of the wise contingent of horsemen expressed the opinion that Mr. Reams was not using good judgment in starting an unstaked filly like her for small purses and giving her a mark of 2:15J, saying that it was foolish to show her up in- stead of holding her over for the Grand Circuit. He gave her the record, however, proved to all who saw hor that she was a really high class filly, and tbe result is James Butler, of New York, recently paid him the neat sum of $6000 for her, enough to buy a sixty-acre farm worth $100 an acre. If you have any good prospects race them in California and win when- ever you can. Start right by making entries in all Durfee's three-year-old by McKinney out of Elsie, second dam Elaine, third dam Green Mountain Maid. That the name is a grand one and means something, is Mr. Crippen's contention, but Mr. Durfee thinks the name Galindo, which he has given the young stallion, is shorter, more euphonious and also has a meaning. Galindo is the name of the noted Mexican bandit that has the reputation of being about the gamest outlaw ever known in that country where bandits flourish. Mr. Durfee says Galindo has been pursued for years and never caught and he thinks when the colt Galindo starts racing it will be a very hard proposition for any other trotter to catch him. yOLO COUNTY CITIZENS are making an effort I to have the new State Agricultural farm, pro- vided by the Legislature at the session just closed, located in that county. There is no place that offers more advantages, and many sites that fill all require- ments of the bill can be secured there at a reasonable price. Future Sales. To the Public: After a careful consideration of the subject and a general canvass of the situation, we have concluded that it would be unwise to hold a sale of trotting horses at Cleveland this spring, and will devote our efforts exclusively to our Boston sale. This is not an abandonment of our sales at Cleve- land, where we own our sale mart, and where we have done well for our consignors until last spring, at ■& 1 Eula Mac 2:17J by McKinney Winner of the Occident Stake of 1900 that is expected to reduce her record this year the races you have a chance to win at the Breeders which time it was well known that a successful Grand meeting and don't let Monday, April 3d, go by with- Circuit meeting could not be held in Cleveland. The out fillirg out an entry blank and mailing it to the Cleveland market has been a good one and will again be a good one, but it is our belief that a successful meeting has been beld by the Cleveland Driving Park Association, and while we also believe that 1905 will witness a meeting there Equal to any in the past, the uncertainty in the minds of the public as to the out- come forces us to this decision. A bad 6ale in 1905 cannot fail to be injurious to many future sales and to the whole breeding industry, and we think it much better for all concerned that there be no sale at Cleveland this year than for aDy one to hold a sale there and thus permanently injure a market that is exceptionally good under favorable conditions Your attention is called to our Down East auction at Boston, Mass , May 22 to 27, an event that promises to rank among the greatest of sp-ing sales. Yours very truly, Fasig-Tipton Co. Secretary. MR. JOHN A. McKERRON, the leading maker of fine harness in the world, as the gold medals he has received when his goods have been placed in com- petition with all other makers, conclusively proves, has removed his establishment from 203 Mason street, this city, to the handsome new building at 221-223 Golden Gate avenue, where it occupies the entire ground floor and basement. Mr. McKerron is recog- nized all over the world as the leading maker of fine harness and horse boots. His handiwork is in use by the leading trainers in America, Russia, France, Austria, Australia and New Zealand, and orders for his fine carriage harness comes regularly from the wealthy owners of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston and other leading cities of the country. There is a reason for this. Mr McKerron is the peer of any harness maker in the world, and it is his invariable rule to permit nothing of his manu- facture to leave his establishment that is not made in the most thorough manner and of the very best materials. His standard is "the best" and his goods are always up to it. In tbe new location, which is one of the best in the city, he will have better facilities than ever before. Date Claimed.

The "little black rascal" that probably had more friends and admirers than any stallion ever bred in California dropped dead from rupture of the heart at James Butler's East View Farm, New York, on Wednesday of this week. Mr. Butler purchased Direct nine years ago, and the once champion pacing stallion has been the premier at East View Farm since, with the exception of the year 1900 when he made the season at Pleasanton in charge of the late Thomas Keating. No greater race horse ever lived than Direct. H9 was trotting bred, but a natural pacer, and although he raced and won at the trotting gait, getting a mark of 2:23 as a three-year- old and 2:18} as a four-year-old, he carried nearly thirty ounces in front to make him stick to the diag' (gg^gi eating tainted meat, or drinking to excess, the re- formers immediately propose to prohibit by law the selling of meat and liquor. If the sport of horse rac- ing is conducted by an association as a gambling busi- ness, they propose to stop all horse racing and all betting. Regulation of anything has no place in the excitable brain of the reformer. "Prohibit everything that does not meet with our approval" is their cry. Last Tuesday the associated press dispatches con- veyed the news that a professor of Columbia Uni- versity and another of the Catholic University of America had stated before the Contemporary Club of Philadelphia, that they could find no reason for say- ing that gambling in itself is wrong. Both according to the dispatch "expressed the opinion that gambling cannot be eradicated from modern life, and that the wisest thing to do is properly control it." One of these level headed professors made an appeal for a course of instruction in the schools which might lessen gambling in the next generation, and said that is a benefit instead of an evil wherever it is properly conducted or controlled. onal gait. As a five-year-old he started unsuccessfully cities should take up the work of regulating gambling in the East, and it was then that his breeder and owner, Monroe Salisbury, concluded to let him go at his natural gait, the pace. Relieved of the great weight Direct soon showed his wonderful speed, and in 1S91 he mat and defeated the best pacers on the Grand Circuit, closing the year with a record of 2:06 to high wheels, made in a tilt against time at Inde- pendence, Iowa. At Terre Haute, when not in condi- tion, he met the pacing champion, Hal Pointer, and was beaten: but at Nashville soon after he demon- strated his superiority over the Pointer horse by defeating him in 2:10, 2:09i and 2:11, the three fastest heat9 up to that time, and the following week he again took the Tennessee champion into camp in 2:09, 2:08 and 2:08| This clinched his title to thechampionship as a race horse, and although in 1892 Mascot paced a mile in 2:04 and Hal Pointer one in 2:041, Direct lowered his mark to 2:051 and was considered the best race horse among all the pacers. Two years later his son Directly won the two- year-old championship by pacing a mile in 2:07|, a rec- ord which stands to this day, and Direct began a career as a sire which is equal to that gained by him on the turf. Direct held the world'sree- ord of 2:06 to high wheels, and in the stud hassired four with a faster average record than any other stallion. His 2:10 performers are nine in number, and include Directly 2:031, Direct Hal 2:041, Bonnie Direct (4) 2:051, King Direct 2:051, Prince Direct 2:07, Directum Kelly (4) 2:08}, Trilby Direct 2:08£, Direct View 2:08| and Rey Direct 2:10. Twenty- one of his get are in the 2:15 list, forty in 2:20 and fifty in 2:25. Direct was a black horse, stood 15 2 and was a blocky built, stoutly made horse with considerable finish. He was foaled in 1885, and bred at Pleasanton Stock Farm by Monroe Salisbury. His sire was the great trotting champion. Director 2:17, also sire of Directum 2:051, Nathan Straus 2:041, and of the dams of John A. McKerron 2:041, Ozanam 2:07, Little Thome 2:07} and many others. The dam of Direct was Echora 2:231, dam also of Echo Lass 2:26}, dam of Ellamore 2:29?., and of Titus, own brother to Direct and sire of Stipulator 2:111. Echora was by Echo 462, son of Hambletonian 10, and her dam by Jack Hawkins, a son of the great thoroughbred race horse Boston. The third dam was a mare of unknown breeding. Direct has left a family of sons that wiil add to the fame of the family as the years goby Luckily there are a few of them in this State. Direct's death is a severe loss to Mr. Butler, but a greater one to the breeding industry. as an essentially city problem. And now these pro- fessors are being "jumped on" by every pin-head preacher and would-be reformer in the country, are accused of a thousand statements they did not make, and are even accused of advocating the doctrine that gambling should be taught in the public schools. This would be amusing were it not so dishonest and dis- gusting. Nothing would lersen gambling so much as the education of the people to the fact that in all gambling games only a few can win, and that gambling in any form should only be indulged in as a recreation Well, the California Legislature has adjourned and while it failed to do anything to aid the district fairs) it wae gracious enough not to pass the law that would put every person in jail for betting a few dollars that his horse could trot, pace or run faster than one belonging to some other fellow. For this, horsemen should be truly grateful. When legislative reformers get to work, they go at it generally with heads down and eyes shut like a herd of buffaloes making an atta k od a railroad train, and they generally use about as much intelligence. Let them once conceive tho idea that evil results from anything, no matter ■ harmless that thing may be in moderation, and - want to abolish it at once. If some one dies from DIRECT 2:05 1-2 Foaled 1885. Died March 15, 1905. or sport. It is the ignorance of the public to the fact that "form charts," "tips," "stable information," etc., are utterly unreliable and false, that leads such a large percentage to become professional gamblers on horse races. If the public schools were to teach the truth about these things the rising generation would not give its hard earned money to the book- makers. There is probably no sport in America on which so much is wagered in proportion to the games played as football. When the teams from two of our leading colleges meet on the gridiron, thousands upon thousands of dollars in money, to say nothing of tons of neckties, gloves, candy, etc., are wagered on the result, and there i9 no evil connected with it. It is the same with every other contest of any kind. Football is played once a year. Horse racing was conducted on the same plan a few years ago, and those who indulge in it now for sport sake, advocate a re- turn to the old methods. When all the racing held in California was a two weeks' meeting each year of the Blood Horse Association, and a circuit of one week meetings at the district and State fairs, there was no outcry against horse racing as an evil, but in- stead the State favored it and appropriated money that fairs, at which racing was given, might be held. It is continuous racing that is an evil just as con- tinuous drinking or extravagant eating or dressing, are recoginized as evils. And here is where the un- thinking reformer fails to discern a distinction. He cannot understand the difference between use and abuse. He wants to stop every 6port on which a wager can be made, because he imagines that contests are the cause of gambling. These so-called reformers were not in the majority in the California Legislature this year, but they may be at the next session, and if so they will prohibit all horse racing as sure as fate. If they do, it will be because continuous racing has become an unbearable evil in California, and they believe killing it outright is the only remedy. Let us hope they will be more broadminded, however, and will regulate instead of eradicating a great sport that There are opportunities in several towns in Cali fornia where good mile tracks are located for enter- prising horsemen to organize driving clubs and give race meetings that will draw well and be successful, both financially and otherwise. The public enjoys good harness racing and will patronize liberally a meeting that brings together a good class of horses and is conducted on up-to-date methods. Very few tovns in California can support a six or even a five days meeting. Three days is about the limit for any except the Breeders meetings, the State Fair acd meetings held at Los Angeles and one or two more of the larger towns. A three-day program will pay in most towns. The only objections to a short meeting are made by the business men who are asked for a subscription to aid the meeting. Many of these are short-sighted and entertain the belief that unless the program is strung out for a week the crowd will not stay in town and spend its money. This is utterly absurd. More people will attend a three-day meeting and leave more money in town during that time than a six days meeting will draw. The reason is obvious. The majority of people who attend harness races have some employment, or are engaged in business, and thev cannot give up an entire week for any recre- ation of this kind. They will go one, two or three days, hut more than that is too great a draft on their valuable time and the result is, at a five or six days' meeting, the heaviest part of the gate receipts are taken in during the days on which the biggest attrac- tions are offered. Three days is sufficient for the trotting and pacing of all the purses that fill, and precludes the necessity of giving specials. A short meeting with good racing will have just as large gate receipts as one twice as long wherein several poor races are on the program to fill up. The expenses for three days being about one-half as much as for six days, and the receipts being as large, the chances of a financial success are double. I wish a few enterpris- ing and energe.ic horsemen in several of the promi- nent towns in California could be made to understand this condition of things in regard to harness racing. If they could a circuit could be organized that would be a permanent thing in California and be of great benefit to breeders, owners and trainers. Humboldt County Items. Mr. S. Hunt of Eureka has a smile on his face these days having discovered another Moroseo 2:12 in a brown geldiDg that is an own brother to that good trotter. He had been earning his oats in a livery stable in Eureka fo.- several years before Mr. Hunt got him, but after a very little training he is now stepping quarters in 35 seconds and does it with ease. Mr. Hunt is the man who gave Moroseo, Forest W., Bollivar, Nellie R., Pearl K and several others by Wayland W. all their early education, and he claims that his latest acquisition is among the be6t of them. Never has there been such a demand for good roadsters as now exists in Humboldt county, aDd where the supply is to come from no one knows. For several years past the people here have been breeding more drafters than roadsters, thus making a scarcity of horses fit for road use, while there is a good supply of the heavy horses. The stallion Cassiar is sure to be well patronized this season. His oldest colts are but two and amongst them are some fine lookers, with plenty of speed. The first one ever harnessed stepped an eighth in 20 seeonds after five weeks handling as a yearling. I have been informed that Mr. Brace will not bring h.s McKinney stallion Greco to Humboldt in time to make a season with him. The horse is now in train- ing at Pleasanton and will be missed here by many breeders. If I am correctly informed Mr. C. C. Ricks, who is now at Pleasanton with a string of horses, will arrive here about April 1st with his fine young stallion Cruzados by McKinney, and will place him in the stud at Eureka. TRAVELER. Henry Ten Eyck White, writing to the Chicago Tribune, says: John E. Madden, famous on the run- ning turf for the last ten years as the owner and trainer of some of the best thoroughbreds that have sported silk in this country, will be back to his first love, the trotters, in a small way this year, provided a couple of colts he has bred and that look as if they would do to race are good enough to go out for the money. The Madden trotters are an unnamed seven- year-old stallion by Director, and a three-year-old by Ail bell. The Director horse is said to have shaded 2:12 a little in his work last fall, and the three-year- old is eligible to the Kentucky Futurity, and stepped well enough in 1904 to make it advisable to point him specially for thit event. Adbell, the s're of this colt, was owned by Madden at the time of the stallion's death, and the chances are that had he lived his owner would have bred a number of trotting mares to him every season, and campaigned the produce for the fun of the thing, meanwhile devoting his serious attention to the running game, at which he has made a fortune by selling colts of his own raising at record-breaking prices.

Woodland, March 11-Tbe good mile track at the Woodland Stock Farm is a busy place these days and over one hundred horses are in training here. Since the track was purchased by Mr. Alex Brown it has been in charge of C. A. Spencer and much credit is due the latter for the excellent manner in which the grounds and track have been cared for. The track is kept in the very best of shape for training purposes and improvements are being made continu year-old trotter by Jas.

Peter Fryatt is working a great prospect in the bay pacing mare Bridal Rose (5) by Falrose, out of Maud B. by Seneca Chief. She is a handsome 16}-band mare with a great burst of speed and can step along at a 2:10 gait right now. She worked in 2:24 with a quarter in 32 seconds in her three year-old form and should be able to take cate of herself in good company this fall. Mr. Fryatt also has a two-year-old trotting filly called Easter Maid by Senator out of the dam of the above mare that looks like a sure trotter. The veteran R. H. Nason is working the fast green trotting mare Tubelena by Tube Rose 2:17J out of Lena Holly 2:181 by Mountain Boy, and he expects great things of her as she has shown him quarters in 31 seconds and is a good gaited and good headed mare. Uy and before long Woodland will be noted as one of Hg a]sQ hag Sub ;2) b DictatUs, dam Mischief by ■ - A - — r, nnnlrnnmr •* . _. . . California's best training camps. As every one knows, the Woodland Farm is the home of the two princely sires Nushagak and Prince Ansel and both of these appeared to the best possible advantage. The admirers of the famous Director family could almost imagine it was the old horse himself when Nushagak was led out for he is the same sturdily built, imposing black horse, and his intelligent head showed the power and determination for which the family is noted. Prince Ansel, who earned a two-year-old record of 2:20J, was regarded as one of the fastest colts of his day. He is certainly one of the finest look- ing sons of the famous Dexter Prince, and judging from the looks of the youngsters by him, now in training, he is destined to become a great sire. Mr. Spencer has a big stable full of green horses mostly by Nushagak and Prince Ansel and there is a wonder- ful uniformity throughout the whole lot aB regards both good looks and speed. It would be a hard matter to pick out the star of the lot and an idea of the great possibilities of the youngsters can be had from the followinglist now in training: PrincesB Mamie (3) by Prince Ansel, dam Mamie Martin by Nushagak, that has shown eighths at a 2:15 gaii ; El Rey (3.i by Nusha- gak out of Piocha by Dexter Prince; Bonnie Lass (3) by Nushagak, dam Bonnie Derby by Cbas. Derby; Beauty (3) by Nushagak, dam Addie W. by Whips; Prince Gay (4) by Prince Ansel, out of Nosegay (dam of Aristo 2:081) by Langton: Joe Dick (2) by Nushagak dam Everette by Nephew; Red Blossom (2) by Nusha- gak, dam Red Flower by Alfred; Jessie Shirley (3) by Nushagak, dam Hattie W. by Alaska; Lauress (4) by Mendocino, dam Laura Drew (dam of Freedom 2:29J) by Arthurton; Daisy B. (8) by Waldstein, dam Viola by Gen. Benton; and La Correcta (5) by Arthur B., out of Nosegay. Of the above numbers Daisy B. is the only one ohat has been to the races and must be considered a very great prospect as she has trotted several miles around 2:12 in her races and has shown 2:06 speed in her work. Her best work this spriDg Brown Jug, Swift Water (2) by Diablo out of Mischief, and a brown colt by Tube Rose. A. L. Charvo has a stable full of good looking and nicely bred colts and several of them are very prom- ising His outfit consists of A. B. Rodman's trotting gelding Pat Rose by Falrose that worked in 2:14 last year; The Poppy (2) by Steinmont, out of Nosegay; Sir Robert by Nushagak, dam by Dawn; Nusadi by Nushagak, out of the great broodmare Addie by Dexter Prince; Kinocba bv McKinney, dam Piocha by Dexter Prince, grandam Peko 2:111 by Electioneer; a three-year-old filly by Nushagak, dam by Azmoor; a five-year-old gelding by Don Marvin, dam by Black Ralph and a smart looking yearling by Steinmont out Woodland Stock Farm Track of Lottie 2:15 by San Diego. Mr. Charvo has just received from J. W. Marshall of Dixon the handsome three-year-old filly by Demonio, out of a Fallis mare, and is highly pleased with her. She is of good size has been a mile in 2:23. Mr. Spencer has great hopes and a perfectly gaited filly, and Mr. Charvo expects of Prince Gay developing iDto a faster horse than his half-brother Aristo 2:081, as he is a grandly gaited, level-headed, big colt with considerably more speed than Aristo at tbe same age, and every chance will be given him to show his worth. The farm owns about 20 exceedingly well bred mares, which are being bred to Nushagak and Prince Ansel according to their blood lines and there are also about a doze* likely looking yearlings out of these mares running in the paddock and it is very easy to believe that these horses will earn the Woodland Farm a most credit- able reputation before many years. The well known reinsman Hi Hogoboom has quite a big string in his charge and his horses are probably farther along in their training than anything at the track. He has a five-year-old green mare by Diawood. dam by Fallis, belonging to D McDougall, Sacra- mento, that has paced a mile in 2:20 with a last quarter in 3Useconds; Palo King a three-year-old colt by Marengo King, dam Palo Belle 2:24} by Palo Alto; Daisy E., a green mare by Steinway that ha6 paced in 2:31, last quarter in 32 seconds; Charmion (3) by Nut- wood Wilkes, out of the dam of Lisonjero 2:081; Red Hot, a four-year old gelding by Dagan, that has trot- ted in 2:26, with a quarter in 32i seconds; Natividad (3) by Boodle, out of an Electioneer mare, and some youngsters by Exioneer, Stamboul and Stam B. The successful sire Iran Alto 2:121 by Palo Alto 2:081- Elaine 2:20 is looking like a three-year-old and from the number of good mares booked to him already he promises to have a big season. W. J. Ivey is training six head and incidentally he has the fastest pacer and also the fastest trotter by the records at the track, in F. E. Wright's pacer Kelly Briggs 2:091 by Bayswater Wilkes and H. D B. 2:13 by Arthur Holt, owned by Harry Bell, Sacra- mento. The green ones in the lot are Pearl S., a pacer by Hanford Medium, out of the dam of Kelly Briggs; M.

SACRAMENTO GOSSIP. Sacramento, March 12— The famous old State Fair Grounds here are almost a thing of the past and the last of the buildings and stables are being torn down this wee*. The track is fit for jogging purposes only and local horsemen must look for new quarters for their training operations until the new track is completed this fall. A few of the trainers are stiil holding forth near the track, but those with iacing prospects willleavein a fewdaysand in all probability Woodland will be the destination of all of them. Walter Mastin is making a short season with the handsome young stallion Marvin Wilkes (3) 2:18 by Don Marvin, out of NoraS. by Sable Wilkes aod will then get him ready to race He has developed into a magnificent big stallion and has already been bred to a lot of high class mares. He has shown that be is a first class race horse and barring accidents should earn a very low record this summer. Mr. Mastin alto has the six-year-old bay stallion Chas. Marvin by Don Marvin, out of Esmeralda (dam of Don Lowtll 2:114, Dixie2:25, etc.) by Brigadier the trotting gelditg Penrose 2:181 by Falrose and the big bay horse Daki n D. (3) 2:10J by Athadon. The last named will be rac d as a trotter this season. A. E. Mastin has three good prospects and all if them are working nicely. Great things are expect' d this season of the handsome three-year-old colt Sir Carlton by Nutwood Wilkes, dam Lady Keating by Stam B., and hebids far to do all that is asked of him. Another one in tbe lot that acts like one of the stn- sational kind is the five-year-old chestnut geldii g Our King, owned by G. S. Mastin. This fellow is a rangy, nice gaited trotter by Knight, dani Anteela by Antevolo, and his second dam is the Middletown Mare, dam of Flying Jib 2:04 and others. His training bss been very limited but he is naturally fast and goc d gaited and acts like one of the real good kind. The third of the string is Mr. Tod hunter's three-year-old filly Zombelle by Zombro 2:11, out of The Silver Belle (dam of Zombowette 2:18) by Silver Bow and she promises to develop into a high class mare although she has bad but very little work. S. U. Mitchell has a small but select string in train- ing, headed by the handsome young stallion Peter J. by Stam B. 2:111. This fellow has developed into a powerfil big horse standing close to 16^ hands and should Mr. Mitchell race him this fall he will earn a good record as he trotted quarters at a 2:10 gait last year as a three year-old and seems faster than ever this spring. The others are Zomatella (3) by Zombro, dam Stella by Sidney; Berniece P. (3) by Zombrc- Jeanny Winston uj Almont; Billy Emerson (3) by Zombro, dam Bestella by Prompter and a handsome two-year-old colt by Azmoor out of Elsie by Kentucky Baron. The Electioneer stallion Azmoor, now in his twenty- third year is passing his last years in ease in the barn cf S. C. Tryon & Son who have owned him for the past three years. He looks hale and hardy and is evidently as vigorous as some horses ten yea.'t younger. The Messrs. Tryon also own one of tbe best green trotting mares that have been seen here in a long time and several promising youngsters by Azmoor and Silver Bow. James Stewart is jogging the handsome grei n pacing stallion Fearnaught by Lynmont, out of Elmorine by Elmo and hopes to race him this fall. He has worked a mile in 2:14 with quarters at a tv ii minute gait and those who have seen the horse in Lis work think that 2:08 will not Suop him. Mr. Stewart is also working some green prospects that include a couple of very promising young trotters by Knight, out of well bred mares. W. O. Bowers, the genial proprietor of tbe Capiii.: Hotel, reports that a lot of high class mares have already been bred to bis good stallion Silver Bee2.27jj by Silver Bow 2:16 and that prospects are bright for a big season. Mr. Bowers is breeding a number oi good mares of his own and also has a couple of young- sters in training in the hands of Prof. Freeman at Woodland. STOCKTON TRACK CLOSED. Stockton, March 13 — Things have a pretty glootrv look around Stockton as the famous old track b; s been plowed up, the buildings torn away and tl e gates locked. Of course there are no trainers locali d here now and the only horseman of note who is hold- ing forth is the veteran John Rowen, who is locatu! across from the fair grounds. He ba9 two vi iv promising stallions in Monochrome by McKinney 2: 11 J, out of Hattie (dam of Monterey 2:09|) by Commodore Belmont, and Mechanic by McKinney, out of Mission Belle by St. Nicholas, son of Sidney, and he also owns a couple of well bred youngsters and several select broodmares. Both of the McKinney9 are extremely fast and one of them, Mechanic, trotted a mile in his three-year-old form in 2:14, with a quarter in 31 J seconds. B. S. McMahan "I do not think I ever saw the trotting horse business in belter condition," said George A. Bain tbe widely known auctioneer, who officiated at tbe Blair-Baker sale. "The prices realized at New York, Chicago, Indianapolis and Lexington show that there is a great dem.nd for first class racing material roadsters and matinee horses. One particularly in couraging thing to me is the great number of new people I see at the sales. I am familiar with the faerx I see in the sale ring, and kDOw all of the leadice buyers, and I always notice new faces in the crowd of buyers, present at sales. Tbe presence in tbe sale ring of so many new buyers is convincing evidence that the trottiDg horse is growing in popularity.

A pair of matched dapple grey mares by Stratnway are offered for sale. See~advertisement. It was reported early in the year that Lady Rivers, dam of Sweet Marie, was not in foal but from Empire City Farm comes the statement that she is certainly with foal by Don Oh So, the horse to which she was bred last year by her then owner Mr. J. C. Adams, of Phoenix, Arizona Nutwood Wilkes was one of the comparatively few stallions, six or more of whose get entered the list of new standard performers last year. From the way the youngsters by this sire are stepping this year about a dozen new ones will be added to his list this season io California alone. A broodmare that is well bred and able to pull a family buggy a few miles daily is wanted. See adver- tisement. * Mr. J. W. Biggs of Burns, Oregon, will exhibit his handsome show stallion Dazzler 2:264 at the Lewis & Clark Fair. The best place to buy a youngster is the Oakwood Park Farm auction sale at Cbase & Co. 's, 1732 Market street, on the 28th inst. John Phippen, Mayfleld, offers for sale a handsome chestnut gelding 16 3, weighing 1300 pounds, thai can trot a mile in 2:40. Read his advertisement. It is said tbat Geers pins his faith to Walter Direct by Direct Hal 2:04} and Nana Audubon to make good in the fast green pacing classes this season. W. J. Andrews has three daughters of McKinney 2:11}, in his stable at Louisville: Nora McKinney 2:12}, Miss Kinney 2:17£ and Eula Mac 2:17}. If one secures a good trotting bred colt or Ally two or three years old for $200 these days he is paying less than the average price at which they are selling. If you want to look over a really rich pedigree send to Martin Carter for one of the new stallion cards he has lately had printed for Nutwood Wilkes 2:16i. Millard Sanders believes he has some sensational trotting material among the young Axworthys. He has thirteen youngsters in his stable by this sire. California will have a circuit of harness races this year and it will be a good one. At least five tracks will be members of it. So get your trotters and pacers ready. Capt C. H. Williams has received word that the name Uoimak has been accepted for his three-year- old stallion by McKinney dam Twenty-third by Director. His number is 40936. No Blue Ribbon Sale will be held this year at Cleve- land, but the Fasig-Tipton Company will hold a big sale at Boston instead. They will make it an annual event and call it the Down East Sale. F. S Dashiels' mare Nellie Seymour, nominated in Breeders Futurity No. 5, foaled a very fine colt, March 13tb, that is by Frank S. Turner 2:28, now the premier sire at Santa Rosa Stock Farm. The Albuquerque Racing Association, Albuquerque, New Mexico, has decided to hang up purses of $5000 for their spring racing meet, tbe dates of which have been set for May 28, 29, 30 and 31, 1905. T. E N. 2:15}, the son of Oro Wilkes 2:11, that was raced in tbe East last season successfully, will be a member of Thomas W. Murphy's stable this year. He was timed in 2:10 or better in races last season. Here is a little advice from an exchange that would do to paint on signs to be displayed on every speed- way: "Don't start a hundred yards ahead of your rival and then at the finish claim that you beat him." Mr. Thos. Brady of Santa Cruz, has sent his fine four-year-old filly by Altamont to San Jose for train- ing. She shows speed and stamina of a high order and should make a fast pacer. Mr. Williams will have her in his string. Peter Fryatt, of Woodland, has for sale the hand- some and fast mare Bridal Rose by Falrose. She is five years old, 16A hamls high, weigbs 1200 pounds, and is sound and all right Further particulars in advertisement in this issue. The old-time California trotter Azote 2:045, owned by T. A. Knickerbocker, president of the West Troy National Bank, Waterford, N. Y., is used by his owner on the Albany, N. Y., snow path. He has his old time speed and usually shows up in front. In an account of last year's races at Eureka, the winner of the 2:24 class pace was given as Cassian in- stead of Cassiar, which is the correct spelling. Cassiar is by Soudan out of Carrie Malone, an own sister to Charles Derby. He is owned by Mr. W. J. East, of Fortuna. Frank Durbin, former sheriff of Marion county, Oreg. n, has been appointed secretary of the Oregon Stste Board of Agriculture. He has an extended acquaintance throughout the northwest, is familiar ivit1- fair work, and his appointment gives general tion. Mr. G. Peirano, of Lodi, Cal., will have his good stallion Alta Genoa 2:14J by Dexter Prince out of the great broodmare Brownie by Capt. LewiB, in the stud at Lodi this year as usual. Alta Genoa's get are all large, solidly built, smoothly turned horses, with speed and first class road qualities. Hal B. 2:04J has been sold to August Eriekson of Portland, Oregon, and will be taken to Portland. Mr. Ericksou owns a number of well bred mares, among them the California bred pacer Dictatress 2:08|. Hal B. will probably stay in Los Angeles until April 15th, the date on which his season there is advertised to close. All the youngsters to be sold at the Oakwood Park sale Tuesday, March 28th, are thoroughly broken and ready to put in training. The sale takes place in the evening by electric light at Fred H. Chase & Co. 's salesyard, 1732 Market street. Horses will be at the yard on Saturday previous to the sale and inspection is invited. The Vallejo meeting of 1903 was for three days only and Mr. Thos. Smith, the manager, came out a little ahead on the proposition. The meeting of 1904 was for four days, and he lost money. Vallejo is not better than a three-day town and there are many more places in California where mile tracks are situated that are very much like it. Ai McDonald, the Pleasanton trainer, who has been working three belonging to Oakwood Stock Farm, last week negotiated the sale of one of them to James Butler of New York. The filly is three years old and is by Charles Derby 2:20 out of Tone, the dam of Agitato 2:09 by Ferguson. She is a good gaited pacer and she brought a good price. Among tbe horses to be sold by the Oakwood Park Stock Farm at Fred H. Chase & Co. 's salesyard, March 28th, is Directola, a roan mare by Direct 2:05J, dam Steinola, dam of Lena Holly 2:17} and Leta May 2:23}, by Steinway, second dam Phaccola by Silver- thread, son of The Moor, third dam the famous mare Minnehaha, dam of eight in the list, including the great Beautiful Bells. This is great breeding and Directola should accomplish much in the broodmare ranks after she is raced. She is capable of taking a fast record. Reine Direct, a two-year-old filly by Rey Direct 2:10, dam Lurline by Steinway; secoDd dam Maggie Mc- Gregor, dam of Al Gregor 2:11, W. W. Foote 2:15J, Tyana 2:16} and Madcap 2:20} by Robert McGregor, sire of Cresceus 2:02}, is one of the choice bred ones to be offered at the Oakwood Park Stock Farm in thi6 city on the evening of the 28th inst. Rey Direct's fame as a sire will be established before this year is ended, and a filly by him out of such a great brcod- mare aB Maggie McGregor, ought to be worth some money. You can get her at your own price at the sale. G. Marcelli, of this city, purchased a McMurray cart of the 1905 model from the Kenney Manufactur- ing Company this week. Mr. Kenoey has just re- ceived a new supply of those handsome calendars and a lot of pamphlets and other literature about the Mc- Murray vehicles, which he will be pleased to send en application. His address is 531 Valencia street. There is lots of ice racing at Albany, N. Y. One daylast week Alta McDonald, driving W. A. Leggett's Elmer D. 2:12J, defeated A. J. McClure's Prince A. 2:12}, with Graham up, on the Island Park Creek, for $100'a Bide. It ran to five heats, Elmer D. taking the second, fourth and fifth, and it is said, more than $3000 changed hands. It was a big betting affair. Nancy Hanks 2:04 is to be, this season, mated with John A. McKerron 2:044. Nancy Hanks has to date been mated with Bingen 2:06}, Peter the Great 2:07}, and imp. Meddler. Her fastest is Admiral Dewey 2:14|, to the cover of Bingen. C. W. Baker, half owner of Dewey, says the horse will be trained and once again tried in his class if ho does not go amiss. Mort Nuckols, of Lexington, Ky., has sold to East- ern men the four-year-old bay mare, Stolen Sweets by King Clay, dam May by Almonastra, price $6000. The mare is promising as a show mare and will be prepared for the Waldorf-Astoria cup next fall. She is a half sister to Genevieve 2:14} and May Brook, a sensational green two-year-old, and has a record as a two-year-old of 2:28. ^_ William Sirrpson, owner of Empire City Farm, home of McKinney 2:11}, has just purchased from a Western man the bay mare Ollis McKinney 2:16} by McKinney, dam Princess 2:27} by Electioneer, second dam Cimrah by Nutwood, and she will probably join tbe Empire City Farm racing stable, now in charge of W. J. Andrews at Louisville, Ky., to be prepared to make a campaign next summer. Zombro2:ll will go to Oregon, June 1st. He will have a big season up there as the breeders of Oregon and Washington have plenty of evidence that his colts are not only winners, but are of the kind that are salable at profitable prices any time after they are weaned. The youngsters by Zombro exhibited at the Oregon State Fair last year were admired by every- body and won many blue ribbons. Sidney Dillon's book for 1905 is full — 60 mares at $150 eacb — and his owner has left his home at Indian- apolis for a trip down South "partly for his health and partly to esctpe the annoyance caused by belated breeders begging for opportunities to book mares." A purse for free-for-all trotters will probably be on the program for the Buffalo Grand Circuit meeting. There are but a few horses to start in such a class, but there are two which, if entered, would furnish such a race as is seldom seen. These two are Sweet Marie 2:04^ and Tiverton 2:04£ and Secretary Bentley bas the assurance from their owners that they will be entered in such a class, if they train satisfactorily this spring. The Denver-Overland RacingClub makesannounce- ment of its June-July meeting in our columns this week. There is $40,000 in purses and specials There is 81500 for 2:24 class trotters, $1000 for 2:20 class trotters, $1000 for 2:20 class pacers and $1000 for 2:13 class pacers. All other classes tor which purses are offered, will race for $500 purse". The meeting opens June 17th and continues until July 4th. Read the advertisement in this issue. The first foal by the Futurity and Occident stake winner Almaden 2:22} arrived at San Jose three weeks ago, and is a bright bay, active as a kitten and a natural trotter. He is much like his sire except in color and is larger than Almaden was at the same age. His dam is a mare by Chas. Derby 2:20, second dam by Wilton 5982, thiid dam by a son of Happy Medium, fourth dam by son of Vermont' Black Hawk 5, fifth dam by Morgan, a grandson of the original Justin Morgan, and sixth dam thoroughbred. The mare and foal are owned by Supervisor Ayers of Santa Clara county. The mare has been bred back to Almaden. . The Golden Gate Park Driving Club is being re- organized and its members propose to have no more racing for money in the future but will try to conduct it on the plan of the Cleveland and other Eastern amateur clubs. This is a good move and when the new speed track in Golden Gate Park is completed the club should have many popular matinees. Road driving is very popular in San Francisco, where it can be enjoyed every day in the year, and the new track now in course of construction will give owners of good roadsters a chance to test the speed of their horses which they have not enjoyed since the old Bay District track passed out ol existence. The new Golden Gate Park Club should have every encourage- ment in its new departure. A Lexington, Ky., dispatch of the 5th inst. states: "Scott Hudson, the trotting horse driver, vbo has spent the winter in California, arrived here tonight to take charge of the horses he will campaign thecoming season on the Grand Circuit. Hudson will have a stable of twelve select performers, amoDg them being Nancy H., Fortune, Mainland, Bingham 2:20}, and the three-year-old pacer Baron Ocean, by Oakland Baron, dam Inter-Ocean, besides several promising greeD horses. Tbe two last named are the property of Oak Duke, of Wellsville, N. Y-, who recently pur- chased Direct Hal and numerous high-clafs brood- mares as a foundation foi an up-to-date breeding establishment." Chas De Ryder has bred to the young McKinney stallion Greco, his good young maie Tacona by Birchwood 2:15, dam Frances Medium, dam of five in the list, by Happy Medium; second dam Annabel, dam of two, by George Wilkes; third dam the famous broodmare Jessie Pepper by Mambrino Chief. Birch- wood is considered one of Nutwood's best sons, and is the sire of 27 standard performers, including Birch- twig 2:08} and four more in the 2:15 list. Greco being by McKinney out of Alien, dam of three in the list, by Anteeo; second dam Lou Milton, the dam of Lou Dillon, one can see at a glance that Mr. De Ryder will have a rare combination of champions in the pedigree of the foal which will result from the mating of Tacona and Greco. Mr. A. Neville, of Santa Cruz, writes us as follows: "While at San Jose for a short visit I went to the Mecca of all horse lovers, the track, and to see Lou Dillon who is in charge of Mr. Budd Doble. By the way, Mr. Doble's abilities have never been written up in regard to fixing up boudoirs, and Lou Dillon's stall with lace curtains, daintily folded towels, blankets, and all accessories presents a pretty picture of taste and finish. The mare is in fine fettle having gained 65 pounds since arriving in California and her care- taker provides a box full of sweet grass every day which accounts in part for the gain. Mr. Doble's horse Kinney Lou is growing very stout and strong, and has shown a quarter in 29 seconds. I asked Mr. Doble if Kinney Lou had cocked his eye at the stallion record as he has a right to do and he said, 'Wait until 1906, if nothing happens.' " Advices from Memphis, Tenn., dated March 5, state: "George Keteham,who campaigned thetrotting cham- pion Cresceus at tracks East and West, finally de- throning the former trotting king, The Abbot, is through with the running branch of the horse game for good, and is making an attempt to trade hlsentire racing establishment to George Spear, E.E.Smathers' former harness horse trainer, in exchange for a soli- tary pacer. Three maidens and other non-winning thoroughbreds that were campaigned at Chicago tracks last summer by Ketcham have been offered to Spear for Sphinx S., the well known pacer that Spear and Smathers have driven on the New York Speed- way. Ketcham says his running hor6e venture was an expensive one. Spear is considering the offer. He is busy handling Mr. Smathers' runners at present at Montgomery Park, and says if he completes the deal he will take the Ketcham castoffs East when the remainder of the Smathers' stable proceeds in that direction." March 18, 1905] @Wte g&reeber «rt6 gfcportssmtm i Santa Rosa Stock Farm Changes Hands. The famous Santa Rosa Stock Farm and race track, the former home of Sidney Dillon and the birth place of the world's champion Lou Dillon 1:58-1, Dolly Dillon 2:06J, Stanley Dillon 2:07ij and many other good ones, has changed hands. Frank S. Turner, for over thirteen years superintendent of this great breeding farm is the new proprietor, he having purchased the 29 head of colts, fillies, mares and stallions left on the farm, and obtained a five years lease of the property with a privilege of five years more. The price paid by Mr. Turner for the stock was $10,000, a lower figure probably than any other person could have obtained them for. On the farm are some of the greatest brood- mares in California and nearly all have colt1; at foot by Sidney Dillon and their foals of last year were by the same sire. Santa Rosa Stock Farm is one of the best appointed in the State. It contains 100 acres, has a splendid mile track that is considered the fastest on the Coast, and a three-quarter winter track which can be used for training during the wettest winter. There are 200 box stalls, grand stand and all the buildings necessary to holding fairs and race meetings, all in perfect con- dition and situated in one of the most picturesque spots in California, and only just outside the city limits of Santa Rosa, a thriving town of ten thousand inhabitants. Of the above stallions FranK a. Turner is the only one that has sired any foals and bis oldest are now yearlings. Of the others Guy Dillon is three years old and the other two are two years old. The young stallions will be limited to a few approved mares this year. Frank S. Turner and Guy Dillon's fee will be $25 for the season and for Judge Dillon and Major Dillon's services but $20 will be asked. Mr. Turner, the new proprietor of Santa Rosa Stock Farm, is a horseman of large experience. He is a native of New York where he was in the service of Henry C. Jewett, of Jewett Farm, and also of C. J. Hamlin at Village Farm. He came to California a good many years ago and was employed on the Hobart Farm at San Mateo during the life of its founder. He entered the employ of Henry and Ira Pierce over thirteen years ago and is known as one of the most careful and painstaking of horse- men. Mr. Turner has managed to save some money during the time he has been employed by others and owns a fe;v pieces of good real estate and is well able to handle his latest venture. That he will make a success of it all who know him feel certain and he will have the best wishes of every person with whom he is acquainted. It is his intention to offer a portion of the young stock as well as some of the broodmares for sale, and those desiring colts or fillies by the great Sidney Dillon out of some of the best broodmares in California should correspond with him in regard to the matter. He will make prices right in every instance. The retirement of Mr. Ira Pierce from the ranks of California breeders is to be sincerely regretted. Mr. Pierce is a great lover of the trotting horse, and has bred the champion trotter of the world, and but for the untimely death of his brother and his own failing health, Santa Rosa Stock Farm's breeding operations would have been greatly enlarged and a racing stable sent East every year. While Mr. Turner will not be able to carry on the breeding of horses on the large scale for which the Pierce Brothers were noted, he has the advantage of their experience and will try to follow in the lines which they made so successful. He will keep the track in condition for training at all times, and will rent box stalls for the low figure of $1 per month per stall. It is his intention to secure the Breeders meeting for Santa Rosa this year if possible. Futurity Winner in the Stud. One of the highest class three-year-olds that has appeared in California for several years was Murray M. 2:14 winner of the Breeders $6000 Futurity at San Jose, last summer. He is now a four-year-old and has been placed in the stud at Santa Ana and a short statement of his performances and his pedigree will interest breeders. Murray M. started but twice last year. His first race was the Futurity above mentioned, where he met a grand field of young trotters in Geraldine by Zombro, Carlokin by McKinney, Marvin Wilkes by Don Marvin, Calamanca by McKinney and True Heart by Nearest. Murray M. won the race in straight heats in 2:19J, 2:20t and 2:20. His other start was at Santa Rosa, where the $6000 filly Mamie R. beat him after four fast heats, Murray M. winning the third heat in 2:14, the fastest heat of the race and being a close second in all the others. He is a very handsome and highly formed colt and stood 15.3 and weighed 1050 pounds in racing form last year. He is a natural trotter, perfectly gaited, with a most level head and the best of dispositions. There are few better bred colts than he in America. His sire is Hambletonian Wilkes, one of the best and most successful of the sons of George Wilkes as a sire, having three in the 2:10 list and ten in the 2:15 list — all race horses with race records. The dam of Murray M. is the great broodmare Anna Belle by Dawn 2:183, son of the great Nutwood 600; second dam the thoroughbred mare Pacheco by Hubbard. Anna Belle was a winner of six stakes in her yearling, two and three-year-old forms, and got a record of 2:27$ as a three-year-old. As a matron she has been a great success. She is the dam of La Belle (2) 2:16, Robert I. 2:08J, Murray M. (3) 2:14 and Maud Murray, a mare that was sold to Austria and won a race in 2:12 after reaching Europe. Dawn was a wonderfully fast trotter, having shown quarters in 30 seconds repeatedly. His dam Countess by Whipples Hambletonian was the dam of Strath- way 2:19 sire of Toggles 2:08$, John Caldwell 2:11}, and many other fast ones. The blood lines in Murray M. are a mixtures of Wilkes and Nutwood, the first being the greatest money winning family, the other the greatest broodmare family. It is a combination that cannot but result profitably to those who patronize it. History of Coaching in England. From certain records it iB learned that coaches were first introduced into England in 1580, by Fitzallan, Earl of Arundel, before which the customary mode of travel was on horseback. In another account of remote periods it is said that in 1564, Boone, a Dutch- man, became Queen Elizabeth's coachman, which would certainly imply that she had a coach. Nothing more could be found among the records until the events of the year 1619 are reached, and then it is learned that things had so improved that Bucking- ham drove a coach and six. In 1673 stage communication was started between Exeter and Chester and London, and six stages were running. We learn from Sir Walter Scott that in 1755 the speed of the stages was frequently but four miles an hour. A year previous to this, however, steel springs were invented, and in 1784, it is authenti- cally stated that the average speed was eight miles an hour. In 1762 George III had a royal stage coach built which weighed four tons, and which is still used upon state occasions, being drawn by eight cream- colored horses. The mails were first intrusted to the coaches in 1784, through the effort of Mr. John Palmer, M. P. for Bath, the first mail coach leaving London on the 8th of August of that year Until 1834 the mail coaches were not allowed to carry more than three outside passengers, while the ordinary stage carried four inside and fourteen outside. It was at this period that gentlemen began to take a hand in coaching, and they drove not only their own, but public coaches, and the amusement, which in a number of instances combined business with pleasure, has been continued to this day. The first coaching club was formed in London in 1807. It was known as the Bensington Driving Club, the number of members being limited to twenty-five. There were four meets a year — two at the White Hart, Bensington, near Oxford, and two at the Black Dog, Bedfont, near Hounslow. Each member upon his election paid ten pounds, and the members were exempt from annual dues. After the club had been established sixteen years the meetings were entirely confined to Bedfont, it being more easy of access, and it was from that place that the members dashed home in a style of speed and splendor equal to th6 spirit displayed by the noble, honorable and respective feudal chiefs of the sixteenth century. Among those who handled the whip on these occasions were Sir Henry Peyton, the gallant Marquis of Worcester, Sir Bellingham Graham and Mr. John Walker, who drove the Bognor coach. The Bensington Driving Club kept on, and was joined in 1838 by the Richmond Driving Club, whose president was Lord Chesterfield. The meets of this club took place at Chesterfield House and the destina- tion of the club was Richmond. The latter club only had a short existence, and the parent society, the Bensington Driving Club, was alone in its glory until 1852, when it came to an end. Four years passed, and then it occurred to the late Mr. William Mossitt, cf roans and yellow coach celebrity, to establish the Four-in-Hand Driving Club, of which the Duke of Beaufort and the late Sir Wat- kin Wynn were charter members. Then the Coach- ing Club was formed in 1870, and this completes the list ofcluiis — past and present — formed in EnglaDd for the encouragement of the art of driving a four-in- hand. Many of the best coachmen of the day are on the lists of membership in these clubs, and it is doubt- ful if there are any other institutions in England where individual interest is as prominent, as is shown by the success of these organizations. — Eider and Driver. Answers to Correspondents. W. H. Neville, Portland. Oregon— Cornelia 2d, bay mare foaled 1891, is registered on page 178 Volume VIII, of the American Stud Book. She is by Strathmore, dam imp. Lady Lyon by Lord Lyon, second dam Lanky Bet by The Cossack, third dam Giselle by Emilius, fourth dam Lantern by Lamp- lighter, fifth dam Danoise by Oscar. The bay horse Vince by imported Deceiver out of Cornelia 2d, is registered in Volume VIII, and was foaled in 1898. Andrew Ryder, Loomis, Cal— The pedigree of Oregon George or Old George as he was sometimes called, is given as unknown in the American Stud Book. S. B. Wright, Santa Rosa— Robin 28,370 is by Live Oak Hero 28,396, dam Bessie by Nephew 1220, second dam Nelly Nelson by John Nelson 187, third dam Lizzie by Morgan Rattler. Live Oak Hero is by Director 2:17, dam Nelly Grant by Santa Claus 2000, second dam Jenny Arnold by Duane (Bull Pup), third dam Lady Peters, pedigree not traced. A Trotting Novelty. Easily the most remarkable pair of "trotters" in thecountry are Whirlwind and Black Diamond, owned by Thomas A. Cockburn, of Arkansas. These trained ostriches are driven to a pneumatic speeding wagon, and under favorable conditions can do their half-mile in 1:05 or better. This is a 2:10 clip, which only the fastest equine trotters can surpass when hooked to a wagon. In single harness each of the birds has been pitted against many noted horses, and though occas- ionally beaten has won far more than he has lost. Biack Diamond, the larger, though not the faster of the birds, stands about nine feet eight inches high and weighs three hundred pounds. He is eighteen years old. Both are first class plumage birds, and they are valued at $20,000. Not all ostriches can be trained to race. Mr. Cock- burn, who owns an ostrich farm, tries out thirteen or fourteen young birds each year, and considers him- self lucky to find one among them that has the racing instinct. Whirlwind has this instinct developed to a remarkable extent, and will struggle like a thorough- bred to win a race when pitted against a horse. He was broken to harness two years ago, and is at once the fastest and best trained bird in the country. — Trotter and Pacer. -• Free Service to a Good Stallion. D. S. Mathews, of Ryde, on the Sacramento river, offers free service to his stallion, Edward B by Stam B., first dam by Dexter Prince, second dam by Par- ker's Elect. Edward B. is coming four years old, is a handsome blood bay in color, stands 16.1 hands high and weighs 1150 pounds. He has extraordinarily good feet and legs. The condition for free service is that the owner of the mare will agree to enter the foal in the California coltstakes. Excellentpasturage and good care taken of mares. For further particu- lars address D. S. Mathews, Ryde, Cal. There will be no meeting at Salem this year. The guarantee fund was not forthcoming and the State Board of Agriculture did not think it advisable to attempt giving a race meeting without it. Many repairs to buildings and grounds will be made during the year, however, and a regular boom fair and race meeting held in 1906. It looks as if the Lewis& Clark Exposition at Portland this year will be the only big attraction in the northwest.

Osgood, Division of Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture.] Birds observed: Loon, red throated loon, California murre, parasitic jaeger, Pacific kittiwake, Arctic tern, short tailed albatross, pelagic cormorant, north- ern raven, rusty blackbird, American white winged crossbill, redpoll, pine siskin, Alaska longspur; west- ern savanna, intermediate, golden crowned and west- ern tree sparrows; slate colored junco; Lincoln, Kenai song and Yakutat fox sparrows; northern shrike; lutescent, myrtle and black poll warblers; American pipit, American dipper, Rocky mountain creeper, long tailed and Hudsonian chicadees; western golden crowned and ruby crowned kinglet; gray checked, alma, varied and dwarf hermit thrushes; also the fol lowing birdB: Bonaparte Gull— A few large gulls in immature plumage were occasionally seen, but they were notice- abely uncommon. This scarcity I found was due to the fact that for the past two years gulls have been systematically slaughtered for millinery purposes. A trader offered from ten to twenty cents each for them, and consequently the Indians and halfbreeds have killed every one that has come within range of their guns. Mallard — Common at Tyonek. Pintail— A specimen was taken by Bischoff at Fort Kenai. American Scaup Duck — A flock of six scaup ducks was seen on a pond near Tyonek September 17. Pacific Eider— A young bird and four eggs were secured by Dr. T. H. Bean at Chugachik bay — (Kachemak bay)— July, 1880. Surf Scoter — Several flocks of scoters supposed to be this species were seen at Homer August 22. A specimen was taken by Bischoff at Fort Kenai July, 1869. Canada Goose — Small flocks were frequently seen at Tyonek, but no specimens were secured. Whistling Swan— The miners about the inlet say that swans are often seen there and that several have been killed. Great Blue Heron— A great blue heron was seen at Hope by E. Heller. Little Brown Crane — Immense flocks of migrating cranes are said to pass over Cook Inlet annually. Three specimens were taken at Fort Kenai by Bischoff. Northern Phalarope— Six specimens were taken by Bischoff at Fort Kenai May, 1869. Wilson Snipe— One specimen was taken by Bischoff at Fort Kenai May 5, 1869 Longbilled Dowitcher— Four specimens were taken at Fort Kenai May 4-9, 1869, and one July 20, 1869. Two of these are still in the National Museum. Aleutian Sandpiper — An Aleutian sandpiper was seen on the beach near Homer, Aug. 22. Baird Sandpiper — A sandpiper, thought to be this species, was seen at Homer, Aug. 22. Redbacked Sandpiper— One specimen taken at Fort Kenai by Bischoff, May 16, 1869 Western Sandpipsr — Three specimens were taken at Fort Kenai by Bischoff, May 12-16, 1869. One of these (No. 58470) has been examined; it is perfectly typical of the large billed form, ocoidentalis. Hudsonian Godwit — Nine specimens were taken by Bischoff at Fort Kenai. At least two of these are still in the National Museum — One an adult in breeding plumage, the other in full plumage. Greater Yellowlegs — Taken at Fort Kenai by Bis- choff, May and June, 1869, specimen still in National Museum. Spotted Sandpiper — Several were seen along Resur- rection creek near Hope, and one was taken. Hudsonian Curlew— A specimen was taken by Bis- choff at Fort Kenai, May 18, 1869, but cannot now be found in the National Museum. Blackbellied Plover— One taken by Bischoff at Fort Kenai, May 6, 1869; specimen examined in National Museum Alaska Spruce Grouse — Black grouse or foolhens, as they are locally termed, are very common in all the Cook Inlet region. They are easily killed, and may thus find their way to the hunter's fryingpan. The Indians and halfbreeds also hunt them to a consider- able extent. When flushed from the ground, they rise q dckly and fly swiftly, but only to light in the nearest spruce. When this is but a few yards away, they Immediately flounder into the thickest part of it: bit I1 along stretch of birches, poplars, or small de- a bushes intervenes, they continue winding in ut until they reach the requisite spruce. In September at Tyonek they were often found in small flocks of eight or ten individuals. When flushed each would betake itself to a separate tree, and after a brief interval start a subdued clucking, so that all could be easily located. At Hope they were found ranging from sea level to timberline; on one occasion I flushed a flock of grouse and but a short distance farther on a flock of ptarmigan. Their crops were usually found to oontain spruce needles and Vaceiman and Tiburniim berries, and in one case beads of Equisetum. Cook Inlet specimens agree perfectly with osqoodi from the Yukon Valley. Rock Ptarmigan— A few small flocks were seen in the mountains on the north side of Bear creek, and three females were taken. They have been hunted more or less hy the miners in this vicinity, and we found them very wild and hard to secure. Northern White tailed Ptarmigan — While setting small mammal traps in a few patches of grass at the extreme head of Bear creek September 5, 1 suddenly became aware of a subdued clucking, apparently from a rockside not far a^ay. Upon following up the sound I was soon able to distinguish some gray birds moving over the rocks, but so closely did they resemble the background that I could not see them unless they moved. They were quite tame and allowed me to approach within a few yards, so that I was easily able to make out an old female white tailed ptarmigan and a brood of seven nearly full-grown young. The old bird was almost as solicitous for her charges as if they had been downy chickB, and led them away very adroitly, keeping up a continuous purring cluck and making herself as conspicuous as possible. Although evidently much alarmed at my presence, flight as a means of escape did not seem to enter their heads, and it was not until I fired on the old bird that the young took wing. I had only my rifle with me, and so was obliged to shoot the ptarmi- gan with a load intended for bear, but fortunately the bird was not irreparably mutilated and I was abie to make a fairly good specimen of it. This specimen was found to be different from the white tailed ptarmi- gan of the Colorado mountains, and examination of the original descriplion of Lagopits leucurus showed that the Northern bird was the one originally de- scribed by Swainson. Marsh Hawk— One was seen flying back and forth near Homer over a meadow thickly populated with Microtus. Another was seen at Hope. Olive sided Flycatcher — A specimen from Fort Kenai is in the National Museum. It is an adult male taken by Bischoff, May 26, 1869. American Magpie — The miners at Sunrise City told us that magpies had been seen in that vicinity frequently, but ve did not observe them there or at any other point in the inlet Specimens taken in Graham harbor by C. H. Townsend in 1892 are in the National Museum. Steller Jay — Several specimens taken at Graham harbor in 1892 by C. H. Townsend and B. W. Ever- mann are in the National Museum. This is appar- ently the northern limit of the species, as we did not find it farther up the inlet in Turnagain Arm, or on th6 north side at Tyonek. Alaska Jay — Occasionally seen. One morning, after a light fall of snow, a small party of jays visited our camp in the mountains near rZope. A few were also Been at Tyonek. A large series was taken by Bischoff at Fort Kenai. Western Goshawk — Goshawks were frequently seen near Tyonek, and immature birds were taken Sept. 18. Remains of Sciurns were found in their craws. Alaska Bald Eagle — Said to occur; not seen by us. Pigeon Hawk — Rather common; several were seen at Hope and also at Tyonek. An immature bird was shot by E. Heller at Hope, Aug. 30. Its craw contained parts of crossbills Dusky HornedOwl— Very common; they were heard nightly at Hope and occasionally at Tyonek. One was seen on a dark day in the deep birch wood s back of Tyonek, and an adult female was shot at Hope, Aug. 30. A specimen taken by George Palmer at Knik Station is in the National Museum. These two specimens are quite different from typioal saturatus, but they are nearer to it than to any other described form. They are considerably lighter than saturatus and do not have barring extending down on the feet to the claws, as is usual in that form; also the bars on the sides are not blended, but separated by distinct areas. Snowy Owl — The miners and traders about Cook Inlet say that snowy owls have frequently been killed there in winter. Belted Kingfisher — Common along streams. Its loud, clattering cry was heard frequently along Resur- rection creek, near Hope, when the thick growth of trees and shrubs prevented seeing the bird. STUDY OF BIRD LIFE. The study of birds and bird life is not a fad; it is of the greatest scientific importance to the progress of the State, as has been frequently proven. To the busy man of affairB the enthusiastic observance of bird habits appears trivial and beneath notice, yet it is of the greatest importance to agriculture. Only a few months ago there was a protest from a portion of the Santa Clara valley over existing game laws, which prevent the killing of quail except during certain seasons. They pleaded for destruction of the little game birds, making the point that grape and grain crops were in danger of being ruined. The Game Commission sent a man to the field, several of the supposed pests were killed, and the crops were found to contain only insects, seeds of pernicious weeds and a few grape pits. Further study showed the grape seeds were from fruit that had fallen from the vines. The plea was proved to be for the destruc- tion of the agriculturist's best friends instead of his enemies. In the forthcoming exhibition of the Forest, Fish and Game Association at the Mechanics' Pavilion in San Francisco in April, it is hoped to bring the general public on a more intimate footing with the feathered tribes that make California a home. The educational process will not be of the dull sort. The vast aviaries are to contain as nearly as possible every manner of bird in the State. Short, terse lectures will be given at intervals in such language that a child may understand. To obtain these varied specimens the association has had two men in the field for some time. They are tboroughly equipped with apparatus necessary to the work, and are trying more particularly to acquire large specimens of water and shore birds, such as a uck s herons, pelicans, cranes, sea gulls and thelike. There are several colonies of rare birds within a hundred miles of San Francisco who live in undergrowth as dense as the wildest portion of Central Africa. Oft- times hours of labor with pruning knives make but a few yards of headway through this dense mass that has sheltered the bird family for half a century. Some of them are nesting at heights of over 100 feet, and the work of reaching the nests is perilous. In studying bird life it has been found necessary to make many photographs of the birds and nests. The task has been very difficult, but enthusiasts have accom- plished wonders along this line. * TRADE NOTES. A WORD TO ANGLERS. The sporting goods emporium of Clabrou»h, Golcher & Co., 538 Market street, San Francisco, have now in stock a line of anglers' goods and sun- dries that is up-to-date and complete in every respect. Among the list is a recent consignment of light and heavy Leonard rode. A full assortment of other makes of rods can also be seen there. Among the new rods is a recent design — a rod with an offset reel seat. This is an innovation from conventional style that has woh the commendations of many angling experts. This rod is designed so that the line aligns with the rod and friction on the braided silk is reduced to a minimum. These rods are in fly-fishing and bait-cast- ing models, light and strong. A large assortment of Hardy reels invite inspection of anglers. These reels are ball bearing, in three pieces, have an outgoing drag but no drag on the in- coming line. Allcock's straight running and Leonard reels are perfect in design and exquisite in finish. A fine lot of double tapered silk lines are not the least important of the stock of lines offered. In fly-books a selection can be had from the best designs and makes. A new contiivance for flies and leaders — a fly-pocket, it should be seen to be appre- ciated. A supply of gut, for leaders and flies, is now on hand that is about as near the angler's ideal ns can be secured. An immense and complete assortment of articles in- dispensable and convenient to anglers should be seen to be appreciated. If you can not visit the emporium at 538 Market street, send for a catalogue, it is worth looking over. SEND FOR ONE. The G. W. Cole Co., 141 Broadway, New York, has issued a book telling all about "3 in one" oil, giving instructions as to the best methods of using it. and a list of a great number of machines and other things on which it may be advantageously used. The pamphlet really gives a great fund of valuable information, and a copy of it, together with a sample of the oil, will be sent to any person asking for them and mentioning tbe Breeder and Sportsman. This compound is much esteemed by every sports- man who has used it. For firearms and fishing reels it is claimed to be without a superior. A TEXAS TORNADO. A Btrong preference for U. M. C. shotgun shells has swept over Texas. Last year the Sunny South Handi- cap at birds and flying targets were won with U. M. C. shells. This year H. G. Taylor of Taylor, Texas, won the Central Texas Handicap on January 20th. At Bren- bam on January 25th, he won the Sunny South Handicap, Messrs. Heikes and Coe second. At this famous Southern shoot, Atchison won the Houston Chroncile Cup and is Southern target cham- pion. Heer, Waters and Heikts took the first three places in the Preliminary Handicap. All these experts used U M. C. shells. A NEW INDOOR MUSKET. The Winchester Repeating Arms Company has just placed a new .22-calibre single-shot musket en the market. The list price is $16. The W. R. A. Com- pany furnishes the following information: "This new Winchester single-Bhot musket is designed especially for indoor target practice by members of militia organizations, and possesses many features which make it particularly desirable for this kind of shoot- ing. In its barrel length, pull of trigger, weight and adaptation for sights, the Winchester .22-calibre Bingle-shot musket is nearly identical with the Krag- Jorgensen rifle, and in accuracy it is one of the most effective guns on the market today. Its close similarity to the Krag in its salient features, and the excellent accuracy shown in the tests to which it has been sub- mitted, strongly recommeLid it for use in military target practice in indoor ranges. The new musket has the simple and reliable Winchester single-shot action and is fitted with a heavy 2S-inch round barrel. It can be furnished when so ordered without a rear sight, but with the barre.1 drilled to allow the use of the regular Krag-Jorgensen rear sight. It will be equipped unless ordered otherwise with a regular musket rear sight. These muskets as regularly fur- nished are sighted at 50 feet, but they are accurate at much longer ranges. The length of the musket over all is 44 inches. Length of stock 13} inches, with a dropatcomb of 13 incbesand drop at heel of 2J inches, and the weight is about 81 pounds. These muskets are already in use by several State militia organiza- tions and are giving splendid satisfaction." March 18, 1905] ©itv breeder mtfc gtpartsman 18 Vendome Dairy Farm. James W. Kea of San Jose has gone in for dairy cattle instead of trotting horses and the Vendome Stock Farm, where Iran Alto 2:12^ once held sway, iB rapidly being transformed into a model dairy farm, while Iran Alto has been sent to Woodland, Yolo county, and placed in the stud there under the management of H. S. Hogoboom. According to the San Jose Mercury the Vendome dairy farm is rapidly getting in shape for active opera- tions and it is expected that in about three weeks it will be ready to open its routes. The machinery will be shipped this week. James W. Kea has Becared as super- intendent of the farm H. B. Heath, who and it will be the purpose of the Vendome dairy to establish a standard of quality and price. The proposed standard will be 4 per cent butter fat, which is 1 per cent above the legal standard. Many methods are adopted to preserve milk, but pasteurization is considered the most sanitary as compared with boracic acid and all formaldehyde preparations which health officers say are detrimental. Pasteurization preserves the natural quality. It is proposed to get out a phamphlet giving full information on these points for public information. At the opening of the establishment for business there will be a banquet and reception. The health officers of San Jose and San Francisco, under whose supervision the dairy has been equipped, will be present and there will be a demon- stration of the sanitary character of the methods used. In his last report Dr Eagan, of San Francisco, said that the Vendome dairy would demonstrate that the microbes in milk can be overcome. ^m W^^tm ^^ Registered Trade Mark 9 A^ #^»_l. *rS^ SPAVIN CURE < Our Written Guarantee is a Lesral, Absolutely Binding-, Contract.

In operating the Vendome dairy every precaution will be taken from tne sani- tary standpoint, both as to the surround- ings of the herd and their feed. Balanced rations will be used to produce the maxi- mum amount and quality of milk. The milkers will be required to brush and card the cows and to wash them when necessary with hot and cold water. Each milker will have clean suit and shoes for his work and a damp towel for wiping the udders and Bides of the cows and for keeping his hands clean. The suits and shoes will be cleaned every day. The milk will be drawn into Reagan sanitary pails and carried to automatic scales that by the tonch of a button opposite each cow'b name or number will register the net amount of each milking. It will then be carried immediately from its Burround- ingB, poured through a Blide in the wall of the building and conducted to the creamery. There it will be passed through tbe clarifier and thence to the pasteurizer, where all germs will be killed at a temperature of 150 and then dropped to 40 degrees or lower. It will then be put in sterilized bottles and sealed with a pulp cap ready for delivery. Milk thuB treated will keep Bweet from four to eight days. There will be a ticket sys- tem to regulate deliveries. Milk and cream should be charged for according to its richness in butter fat should come from a large litter and from sow that is a good feeder, gentle and easy to handle. For if she is gentle and kind and a good feeder, she will usually be a good milker, a very essential point in a brood sow, writes H. W. Hale in Orange Judd Farmer. One cannot judge accurately of the milking qualities in a gilt, but a chunky, heavy-boned, short- legged sow is not as good a milker as one with a longer body and legs, and less rounded sides. Under all circumstances avoid one that is wild, or nervous, or has a low back. The legB must be strong and straight. The sow must stand entirely on her toes and should show ten or twelve teats. The age at which to breed defends on the maturity more than the age. A gilt that has been properly handled will weigh 200 pounds or more at eight months, and ought to raise a good litter of pigs if bred then. When a young sow has only a few pigs, or is a poor milker or a care- less mother, she should be sent to the meat barrel at once. But if she is a good milker Bhe should be tried again, for the second litter will usually be larger than the first. m New Use For Crude Oil. Warranted to Give Satisfaction.

[t is probable that an entirely new use for crude petroleum, which will require many hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil in California, will be shortly developed In Santa Clara valley experiments are be- ing made with the crude product as a manure for fruit trees, and as a preventa^ tive of the borer. The method of application is very simple, and it is claimed that where it has been tried for two jearB there is a perceptible increase in the amount pro- duced, and that tbe quality is better. About a pint of crude oil is sprinkled around each tree in tbe spring and late in the fall, two applications being neceBsary. The experiment was first tried upon a prune orchard which was affected with borers— in two years no borers could be found among the trees. It is now being tried with peach, apricots and other orchards. — Lompoc Journal.

Old methods will not accomplish results for the present times. In dairying, as in others things, one muBt keep up, or be left behind. Those who have succeeded with cows and everything else are those who have adopted a course and stuck to it. Methods may be changed, but the ultimate aim should never be. "It is defeat that turns bone to flint," Bays Dr. Beecher, "and gristle to muscle, and makes men in- vincible " The men who have succeeded are those who read, and searched for something better all the time. While the milk is warm it evaporates enough to keep it from absorbing odors, but when it begins to cool then it absorbB anything and everything. It should be set in as cool and as pure an atmosphere as possible. A cow that kicks like a steer, or a mule, and cannot be cured, deserves to be sold for beef, although some are too valuable to be butchered. She is not quite as bad as the man who will kick a cow. A memorandum should be made of every cow that is bred, so that she may receive proper treatment at the proper time. By careful selection and breeding, good cows can be made better. Pairs from animals of good milking qualities will im- prove if selected and bred properly. Do not begin too young. Better results come from mature stock. Cows, as well as horses, should be brushed every day. They are not a very cleanly animal, and need to have some care in order to get the best flavored milk. It is also one of the conditions which makes cows give a larger quantity of milk. The cleaning will be very much simplified if the cowa have good bedding and are not permitted to get filthy. It may be so every winter, but there seems to have been more "off-flavored' butter this winter than ever Almost every market complains of it. The trouble may be in the milk, or the butter-maker, or in the atmosphere. Will those who have a theory please write ub about it? Some say the temperature at which the cream is churned makes the difference. What is it? No experiment station has carried on or ever will carry on Buch esteneive and impartial teste of dairy possibilities as did the World's Fair at St. Louis. The whole dairy world is indebted to it for the valuable data thus obtained. The beat cows of every breed were there, and the most expert feedere and breeders in the world gave them their best effort in feed and management, and made a record every day. These will be available for those who are interested. It is not a true sign of a valuablecow to have her give milk year after year. It is more natural for her to have a rest period between periods of lactation. A man who robs hiB cows is really tak- ing from himself; he will be the loser. To feed the cow liberally during the win- ter prepares her for less food during the coming season. Nothing is more healthful and refresh- ing than a drink of good buttermilk Not everyone knows that the churning needs to be about half rich milk in order for the buttermilk to be good. Then it needs to be churned at the right time that it may be palatable. It doeB not pay to hurry in buttermak- ing. If the milk is skimmed before it is quite ready or churned before it is quite ripe, or churned too rapidly or taken up too soon, or worked too rapidly, the but- ter will not be good. It pays to take time in buttermaking. The first milk drawn has elements in it which -.re best for the ealf ; the last milk is bet. ?r for butter and family use; the the milk is good for either. There is no doubt but that the better a - kept in the winter the more milk and butter she will make during the com- ing season. It never pays to let her get poor. A poor, weak cow cannot bear or rear a fat calf, nor give much milk of a good quality. Some destroy the flavor of the butter by putting in too much salt. Webs accumulate in the stable, and should be removed. They are the nest- ing places for insects and bacteria. — Texas Farmer, The Best Week in a Cow's Lacta- tion Period. make a pound of hog will also make a pound of chicken, and the pound of chicken is always worth two pounds of hog. People in the poultry business for the profitable side of the proposition are not at any time in a position to take a day off, even in the dull season. The poultry business is a matter of every day care when it comes to profits. Racing! Racing! It is often of much importance to know at what time in a cow's lactation period she is liable to make her best record. Nearly all of the associations of our im- proved dairy breedB, favor the animalB making large milk or butter recordB. In Borne cases certain fixed standards are set, as, for example, in the American Jersey Cattle Club Association, where 14 pounds of butter or over is required to admit animals to what is known as the "tested list." In looking over the herd records, it was found that a great variation existed as to the beet week of lactation. This variation was not only among certain in- dividual cowb, but also exiBted with the same cow from vear to year. In order to get reliable data, it waB quite evident a large number of records would be required to overcome the vary- ing influence and find a fair average. Minnesota Experiment Station was there- fore called upon to co-operate with the Nebraska Station, and they were able to furniBh 155 records. This, combined with 84 records from the Nebraska Station, gave a total of 239. Out of thia large number of carefully compiled records the following table and resultB are drawn. It waa found that nine-tenthB of the cows made their best records during the first tenlweekB of lactation, and that over one-half made their beat recorda during the first month. The first week is calculated beginning four day3 after calving, thus making the end of the first week eleven days after calving. It was shown by the experiments made that the greatest number of cows made their best milk flow the third week, while the best butter production waB made in the Becond week. From the results obtained in this test, which bid fair to be average, the second and third weeks of a cow's lactation are the best, and there iBnot much difference between the two. A cow reaches her higheBt production of butter fat at an earlier period than she does her greatest milk flow. Poultry Points. Coal cinderB are a good grit, and some prefer them to the best grit that can be made. EggB natches by hens require 21 days, duck 28, turkeys 26, pigeons 18, guineas 30. Corn meal and bran mixed well to- gether and scalded make a good warm feed for incubator fowls. The more efforts we put forth and the more attention we give to the poultry business, as with anything elBe, the more successful it will be. Pnllets generally lay more eggs during the winter months than hens. If you are a beginner in the poultry business re- member this. Ab a general thing fowls do not drink as much water during the winter as they do in the summer months, but it is well to remember that it is as essential to give them daily access to good clean water, even if the weather is cold. Plants and trees thickly covered with foliage may be a good roosting place for fowls in the summer, but a good warm hen house is what they need in the winter. A half frozen hen cannot lay eggs, and what is more, she will not. Don't Bell your young chickenB from the farm, as some people do.

The dam or the sire and the dams of the sires of the first and second dams were great brood mares who were also the dams of other great sires. Venus, the dam of Sidney Dillon, was the dam of Cupid 2:18, who produced well; Lady Bunker, the dam of Guy Wilkes, was the dam of Wm L., sire of Astel, and El Mahdi 2:2oH and Declaration, who were each the sire of several good ones: Dolly, the dam of Director, was the dam of Onward 9:25U and Thorndale 2:22, both of which were great sires. The above sires, the sire of this colt and the sires of the first, second, third and fourth dams, have each produced one or more world record holders. They have also produced many others who were the gamest, the most levelheaded and the largest money winners in the trotting world. The first four trace in the male line to Hambletonian 10 through ancestors which, in each and every genera- tion, have been the best producers of their day and have been better producers than their sires or grandsires. In DILLCARA'S pedi- gree there are sis crosses of Hambletonian 10, each of which goes to him through only the best producing lines, and five crosses of Mam- brino Chief, each of which goes to him through dams that have been extraordinary producers.

"witti 6k- A.Ty^XFl. 99 This highly important event, which is annually sought by the best shots of America, was the principal match of the Second Grand Sportsman's Handicap which was held at Detroit, Mich., February 15, 16, 17, there being.in all 26 entries. Mr. R. R. Bennett of Pittsburg, Pa., won with the score of 24 out of 25 birds, from the 30-yard mark, receiving the Gilman & Barnes Trophy, which is the emblem of this championship. The weather conditions under which this match was shot were severe enough to test the eye and nerve of the greatest expert — and the experts were there. This, of course, reflects great credit upon Mr. Bennett's skill, but — sup- pose he had used unreliable or inferior shells? Skill in shooting is of little avail if faulty ammunition is used. Mr. Bennett looked out for that part of it, and supplied himself with the best shells he could buy, so as not to take any chances; In other words, he used Winchester "Leader" Shells, which are unequaled for reliability under any conditions. Winchester "Leader" Shells were also used by Alec Tolsma, who won high average the first day, and by Chas. Spencer, who won high average the second day with a straight score of 25 birds, which was remarkable shooting under the circumstances. If you are not satisfied with your shooting, the trouble may be with your "load." Next time you shoot, change to Winchester Shells and you will never change again; for they are THE SHELLS THAT WIN THE TROPHIES AND THE AVERAGES TOO.

ECUADOR Henry Wheatley, Napa GREEN'S RUFUS The Baywood Stud, San Mateo THE MONEY is in sight— $14,500 of it, and it is to be distributed at the Breeders Meeting. Now, if you will stop and think the matter over, you will be ready to acknowledge that every person who owns a trotter or pacer and believes good racing tends to improve the breed of borses and also to improve prices should do what is in his power to make the entry lists large. Every successful meeting helps the business of breeding trotters and pacers Successful meetings can only be held when there are good lists of entries to start with. If you are a stallion owner, you should get those who own his get to enter them in these stakes and you should make as many entries as pos- sible yourself. If you are an owner of one or more horses that you would like to see lead their fields to the wire while the crowd cheers their gameness and speed, enter them in these events and you may enjoy that privilege. If you are a trainer get in and boost every program for all you aro worth. Don't sit down and growl because there is no class given which just fits your horse's record, but enter in the nearest class to which he is eligible and then try to win the purse If you are simply an admirer of the harness horse and don't happen to own one just now, buy one if you can before April 3d and get into the game. It will do you good and make you live longer. If you can't buy a horse, boost the game any way and tell your friends who are owners to enter in some of the purses. Now is the time for every person who enjoys good harness racing to get in and speak a good word for the Cali- fornia circuit which is bound to be a success this j ear if the Breeders Association gets a good entry list for its purses as its program is the firBt to close, and a good list will encourage other associations to arrange meetings. THE THREE-HEAT PLAN has been selected for the two big opening events of the harness racing season of 1905 on the Grand Circuit — the Merchants' and Manufacturers' $10,000 for 2:24 class trotters, and the Chamber of Commerce $5000 stake for the 2:24 class pacers. These races have heretofore been on the three-in-five plan, and have in nearly every in- stance resulted in good contests for years past. In 1900, when Bonnie Direct won the Chamber of Com- merce after six heats had been paced, he would not have been in the monev had the three heat plan been in vogue as he was 9-5-8 in the first three heats. The same year the M. and M. required six heats to decide and was won by Lady Geraldine. According to the three-heat plan, Battlesign, who won the first heat, was third in the second and then drawn, getting no money, would have won a considerable amount The C of C. of 1901 was won by Star Pugh in straight heats and Harry Logan was second each time, so the three-heat plan would not have made much difference with them, although the others would have divided very differently. The same year Eleata won the M. and M. in straight heats. In 1D02, the C. of C. went to Direct Hal in straight heats with Elderone second eaoh time, while the blind horse Rhythmic annexed the big end of the M. and M. also in three straight heats. Elastic Pointer got first money in 1903 after five heats of fast pacing in the C. of C. and his posi- tions in the first three heats were 1-2-7, so it will readily be seen that the new plan would have made a hig difference in the amount he won. John Taylor, the gray gelding by Dispute, had a hard time beating Wainscot in the M. and M. that year, his heat posi- tions being 1-2-8-1-1 while Wainscot's were 2-1-1-2-2, so the three-heat plan would have given the latter the big end of the stake that year. Little difference in the division of the Chamber of Commerce money last year would have resulted had it been according to the new system, as Baron Gratton was 2-1-1, while Morn- ing Star was 1-4-2, Ethel Mc 3-2-4, and West 4-3-3, and all the rest distanced the first heat. The M. and M. went to Sttnley Dillon in straight heats, Ruth C. second each time, so that the three-heat plan would have made but little change in it. The feature of the new plan that will appeal to a large number is that there are more chances to win a part of the purse than in the old style three-in-five. It will do away with long drawn contests and this will suit the public but whether it will please the horse owners remains to be seen. It is worth a trial and we do not expect to see any falling off fn the number of entries received for the two big stakes of the Detroit Driving Club this year. THERE IS good common sense in the following from the pen of Henry White: "Too many people, in considering the question of speed in ani- mals intended for breeding purposes, overlook the fact that the 2:30 standard is a purely arbitrary one. As a matter of fact, a horse that can show a three minute gait is going along some, as twenty miles an hour is considerably faster than most people care to ride on the road. Some of the most successful breeders of trotters would sooner mate a couple of horses each capable of 2:40 speed that were good gaited and did the work as though they liked it than a pair with 2:30 records if the latter two were obliged to be rigged with a variety of boots, weights and checks before they could do the 2:30 trick. A "made" trotter is not nearly as apt to sire or pro- duce sieed as the one with a slower rate of speed that took to the game naturally. It is on this line of reasoning that stallions capable ©f going fast at two or three years of age are sought after by breeders who have >:iven the theory and practice of breeding for speed more than a superficial ex- amination, and they are the great siresof the future." THE LAW appropriating $60,000 for buildings on the new State Fair grounds at Sacramento, which has been signed by the Governor, has a section which prohibits all kinds of betting on races held on the property of the State Agricultural Society. Not only is it made a misdemeanor to bet on the races, but any officer or employee of the Board who permits any betting to be eari ied on, within the grounds, is liable to a fine of $500. Racing is not prohibited, however, and the association will doubtless build a track and hold the Occident and Stanford stakes, and perhaps a program of other harness races, but the owDers of running horses will doubtless give the State Fair the go-by as long as the present law is in force. Kinney Lou Making a Good Season. Budd Doble's great trotter Kinney Lou 2:07j by McKinney 2:11J is very popular with the breeders and has over twenty mares already booked. Among those who have sent well bred mares to Kinney Lou this year are Messrs. A L. Reed, James Coffin, H.Scott, E.W.Clayton, Rich. De Bernardi. J. F. Colombert, Geo. W. Theurekauf, A M. Fosdick, J.C. Mowry, T. W. Barstow, R. E. de B. Lopez, M. L. Lusk, W. B. Humphreyville, P W. Bellingall, S. Christenson, and others. Mares by Simmons, Sidney, Nutwood Wilkes, Secretary, Nearest, James Madison, Sultan, Iran Alto, Jim Mulvenna, Direct, Abhotsford, Bay- wood, Oro Wilkes, Seymour Wilkes, Dexter Prince, Dictatus, Poloma Prince Bnd other well known stal- lions are among those sent to the court of the fastest stallion of tbe McKinney family and a finer looking collection of broodmares would he hard to find in any oountry. Mr. Doble made a trade the other day which he has been figuring on ever since to see just how he stands in the matter. He bred two mares to Kinney Lou last year on shares and this year the owner came to bim before the mares foaled and offered to pay him $400 for his interest in the two foals provided he would breed the mares back to Kinney Lou. Mr. Doble accepted the offer, but can't figure out just how much he got for his share in the unborn foals. Question: If a Kinney Lou colt and a half is worth three hundred and a half a month and a half before it is foaled, how much will it he worth in a year and a half if Kinney Lou trots in 2:011 in 1906?

Mr. Thomas Smith, the veteran Solano county horseman, whose importations and horse breeding ventures have added many thousands of dollars to the taxable property of that section of the State, ad- vertises two stallions to stand for puhlic service at his place at Vallejo this year. The stallions are Gen. Frisbie and Mambrino Chief Jr. The first named is an own brother to Tom Smith 2:13^, being by Mc- Kinney 2:11J, out of Daisy S., dam of four in the list by McDonald Chief He is a handsome black horse, 15$ hands and weighs 1075 pounds. Mambrino Chief Jr. is by McDonald Chief out of a mare by Mambrino Patchen. He is the sire of Dollican 2:15J, Geo. Wash- ington 2 : 1 6 J , Trilby 2:21} and other fast ones and is a handsome bay horse, and the only grandson of the great Mambrino Chief on the Coast. The fee asked for Gen Frisbie's services is $25 and for Mambrino Chief Jr. $20. See the advertisement in this is6ue. Alta Vela 2:11 1-4. Sons of Electioneer are not numerous in California where the greatest sire of trotters spent the greater part of his life and sired nearly all of his get. There are a few remaining, however, and among them is Mr. F. Gommet's Alta Vela 2:11 J, the best gaited Election- eer living. Alta Vela is a racehorse, game as a pebble and while his opportunities in the stud have been very limited he has quite a number of colts that are being trained and will make their mark. Alta Vela iB now in charge of Messrs. Zibbell & Son at their new stables 672 Eleventh avenue, just back of the Chutes, when he can be seen at any time. Alta Vela is out of a great broodmare by Piedmont and his grandam was also a great broodmare. Breeders should not over- look him. Good Chance to Buy Draft Horses. Down at San Jose, Mr. C. O. Stanton, manager for the well known breeding and importing firm of Sing- master & Sons, has twenty head of first class stallions, mostly Percherons, and we would advise any of our readers wanting draft horses to pay San Jose a visit and look these stallions over. There are a number of very handsome blacks, and some dark grays. Don't ever overlook a good gray Percheron. Grays sell as well as any other color when tbe conformation is right, and we believe there are more well formed gray Percherons than those of any other color. Read the advertisement that Mr. Stanton publishes in our columns this week. Trotting and draft horses are not the only pebbles on the equine beach at present. At a sale in Montana the other day twenty-nine jacks sold for upwards o $24,000, ranging from $700 to $1405, and twenty-Din head of jennies were sold for $7000 the top price $850 JackBOn's Napa Soda is sold in every dty, tow* and hamlet in the State. &he gveeitev cmJr gtjxcrtrtemcm I March 25, 1906 mm'gimWmWmWmWmwmmmgm M. and M. also C. of C. on the 3-Heat Plan. M JOTTINGS. M LOS ANGELES TAKES THE LEAD. PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTENING. The Cali- fornia Circuit is out of the embryotic state and is assumiog shape. It begins to look as though it would be the best in years, and compare favorably with the best in "the old days." The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association started the ball with $14,500 in purses and stakes for a four days' meeting, and now the Los Angeles Harness Horse Association has been organized with a directorate composed of the wealthiest and most enthusiastic harness horseman in Southern California, and gone the Breeders a few better by announcing a sis days meeting with $16,200 in purses. And on top of this the Thursday morning dispatches from Sacramento contained the news that Governor Pardee has signed the bill approprirting $60,000 for buildings on the new State Fair grounds, and there is every probability that a good State Fair will be given with a program ot harness races. So there is $30,700 in sight for harness horses at two meetings, with the State Fair, Woodland, Pleas- anton, Fresno, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Vallejo and Santa Ana to hear from. As at least four of these places are certain to give good meetings this year, the outlook is certainly good for all horsemen who want to race out here on the Coast. Los Angeles will give a fall meeting in November, at which big purses will be given and an effort made to secure a number of fast ones from the Eastern tracks. The officials selected for the new association in Los Angeles are the right sort of men. Mr. C. A. Canfield, the President, is not only a great lover of harness horses and the owner of several good ones, but he is a very wealthy gentleman who is willing to devote part of his lime and energy to the furtherance of harness horse interests. Mr. Wm. Garland, the Vice-President, is a millionaire mining man and is the owner of the champion trotter Sweet Marie 2:04J. Mr. L. J. Chris- topher is also a wealthy man and an enthusiastic horseman who, like the President and Vice-President, is a prominent member of the Amateur Driving Asso- ciation of Los Angeles. In electing Mr. A. W. Brunei- Secretary, the association has made an excellent selec. tion. Mr. Bruoer thoroughly understands clerical duties and has a practical knowledge of the harness horse businees as well. He is an energetic and tireless worker, and proposes to visit every training track in the state before entries close, to solicit entries for the Los Angeles meeting. May success attend his efforts and may the Los Angeles Harness Horse Association secure the biggest list of entries ever received by a California association is my earnest wish. Men who put their money behind such an enterprise should receive the support of every horseman on the Coast. Because Los Angeles is four hundred miles from San Francisco is no reason why horsemen training in this section of California should not race down there. The expenses of shipping horses from this city to Los Angeles are not great. It only costs six or seven dollars per horse when they go by the carload, and I have no doubt but the enterprising officers of the new association will get a special rate over the railroads ihat will make the round trip a very inexpensive one. Then it is more than likely that Santa Ana will hold a meeting just following the one at Los Angeles, and if the Fresno people would take the week following Santa Ana, for a meeting under the auspices of a local organization, or of the P. C. T. H. B. A. tie shipments would not be very long or very expensive between any two points on the circuit, as PleasantOD, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Vallejo, Woodland and the State Fair could follow in the order given, thus bring- lng the State Fair about the first week in September, which is the usual plan. It is to be sincerely hoped that the Directors of the State Board of Agriculture will not try to give a two weeks fair this year or at any other time. One week is enough and there is no reason why a one week fair should not pay a profit instead of running the asso- ciation in debt as has been the case with fairs that ran for two weeks. Every person making exhibits at the State Fair, and every other person connected with the institution, except the concessionaires and those on the pay roll, is of the opinion that one week is sufficient. Flya pay. the colt by Azmoor that Chas. F.Silva has entered in the Breeders Futurity for foals of 1903, is a t;;lf brother to the $9000 Swift B. 2:16J, as he is out of Swiftbird by Waldstein. Mr. Silva bred Swift- rd o Stam B. again last year and expects to own, in ays, a full brother or sister to Swift B. Secretary Walter J. Snyder of The Detroit Driving Club has announced the stakes for the Great Blue Ribbon Meeting the week of July 24-29. The $10,000 Merchants' and Manufacturers' Stake, 2:24 class tret, and the $5000 Chamber of Commerce Stake, 2:24 class pace, are the offerings. Both of these classics will be raced on the three-heat plan. By adopting this plan Secretary Snyder has met the popular demand of owners and trainers especially those who prepare their horses in the Northern climate. Under the new plan the latter trained horse meets the Southern trained one in equally as good condition to engage in a turf battle of three heats. Still should the Northern trained horse be a trifle shorter in his work than the trainer believed and meet defeat in the third heat, he has won the bulk of the money and the race providing he has captured the first two heats. By paying $1300 to the winner of each heat, $700 to the second and $500 to the third horse in the M. and M. and one-half of each of these amounts in the C. of C, it can readily be seen that nine chances are offered in the three heats to win a portion of the puise, and with the Consolation Race, nine more chances are offered making a total of eighteen chances to win a portion of the stake. Should a horse win a heat or any portion of it, to be later distanced, he will always receive the money he won prior to finishing behind the flag. Horsemen at a glance can realize what the value of such con- ditions mean to the right side of their ledger. It has often been the case of the best horse in the race meet- ing defeat through circumstances which lost him the third heat and sometimes being distanced. The entries close Thursday, April 6th, when horses must be named. m Equine Affections. Is the infatuation of her valet and grief which fol- lowed the separation from another little friend respon- sible for Lou Dillon's defeat by Major Delmar in the Memphis Gold Cup, and can equine femininity form attachment for a human being which will be followed by sorrow accompanying the separation? These are the questions that have been started at Memphis and which have produced arguments from many ho rsemen and from Millard Sanders, who handles Lou Dillon, and brought her from California and planted her in the present high position she holds in the harness world. The trotting queen has been separated from a valet for whom she snowed a peculiar attachment for over a year. Her former attendant lived in Peoria, 111., and gave up his position to study stenography at his home. Sanders says that never was there more attachment formed or closer friend- ship existing between any pair of chumsthan betweeD Tommy vVaugh and Lou Dillon. "Waugh seemed to have a spell over her," said Sanders. "He was th9 only man on earth I would have trusted Lou with without a bridle. But with or without a halter she would follow Tommy any- where. She seemed to know he was her good friend and since they parted I have noticed that Lou has showed that she felt the separation in many ways. Shelikes her present attendant all right and there is nothing that he can do that he does not do for Lou's comfort, but some sort of life partnership seemed to exist between the former boy and the help around the stable has also noticed it." Animal affection has often puzzled horsemen. Or- nament, the quadruple Western derby winner and conqueror of the best in the East, grieved so after being separated from a yellow dog, which had been his stall mate for a year, that the dog was hunted up and returned. Highball, the last American Derby winner, had his roommate in "Doc, " a small ordinary cur, and when Highball was being trained here last spring for his ill-fated season, "Doc" was always escorted to the railing of the track, and with an attendant was held so that Highball could see him when taking his morning work. Other noted thoroughbreds have had their bosom companions, but the theory that Lou Dillon's grief over the loss of her valet is the first ever offered, probably explaining the reversal of form by a trainer or runner. Lou Dillon was also very fond of Millard Sanders, Jr., and for several months she has not been within hundreds of miles of the little fellow. Trainer San- ders says that Waugh and Sarders, Jr., are the only persons he has ever seen that the trotting queen showed particular attention to. — Chicago Horseman. Murray Howe of Memphis last week purchased from Fred Cline of Indianapolis the gray trotting gelding Choir Boy 2:174 by Graydon for $5000. Choir Boy wa6 a consistent winner on the Gas Belt Circuit last season and Is considered a sure 2:10 trotter. It is understood that Howe was acting for F.G.Jones of Memphis. Newly Organized Association to Give Spring and Fall Meetings with fiooo Purses. California will have a good circuit of harness racing this year which will open July 3d at Los Angeles with a six days meeting at which all the purses for aged horses will be $1000 each. The following letter is self- explanatory: Los Angeles, March 20, 1905. Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The Lob Angeles Harness Horse Association was organized March 18, 1905, and the following named well-known gentlemen elected as its officers: C. A. Canfield, President. Wm. Garland, Vice-President. A. W. Bruner, Secretary and Manager. L. J. Christopher, Treasurer. The Association was organized for the purpose of helping and encouraging in every way possible the breeding and development of the harness horse aid harness horse interests. The association will offer purses of sufficient magi I- tude to be competed for at its July and November meetings of each year that will draw the horses frcm Northern California, Oregon and Washington. AIeo Grand Circuit performers for its November meetings, which will insure contests of the highest order. Besides the liberal purses the association will offer for its November meetings it is the intention to offer valuable cups to be competed for by gentlemen owners with their matinee trotters and pacers, hitched to wagons. What could there be offered that would be more pleasing or create more interest in the way of harness horse competition than a race of this kind, Sweet Marie, Lou Dillon and Master Delmar as contestants, owners driving? It is the intention of the association to open tie California Circuit with a meeting at Agricultural Park, Los Angeles, the week of July 3d to 8th. Liberal purses will be offered for two year-old trotters, two-year-old pacers, three-year-old trotters and three-year-old pacers. All class races will be ff r $1000 purses, three races per day, classes so arranged that a horse can take part in two events during the week. Programme stating conditions with full information will appear in the Breeder and Sportsman in a few days. Horses now in California being prepared for the Grand Circuit can remain in California and take part in the Los Angeles meeting and ship direct to Detroit and have ten days to two weeks rest before the opening meeting of the Grand .Circuit the last week in July at Detroit. A W. Brtjner, Secretary and Manager. Not from a McKinney Mare. Breeder and Sportsman: — In the columns of the last number of the BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN I told a little story about a foui-year-old filly by Athadon 2:27, dam by McKinney 2:11J, second dam by Cal. Nutwood. It now develops that there is a little side issue to the story of Mollie McK (formerly called Mollie L., name changed by myself because of the blood of the great McKinney that I supposed flowed in her veins). I cannot at this time give in detail how I and others have been mislead in regard to her breed- ing and when Idol hope it will show that no one willfully misrepresented the. pedigree of her dam. Her correct breeding is as follows: Sired by Athadon (1) 2:27, first dam by California Nutwood, second dam by Naubuc Jr., third dam by Billy Hayward. Poor Mollie has no right to the McK. She has been robbed of the heritage which she didn't inherit, but her sire was a "King and a champion of royal blood" and I expect his daughter to "make good" although she does not carry the popular blood of the famous sire McKinney. I had evidence that made me absolutely certain that she was bred as I first gave it. This case is another illustration of how very necessary it is to obtain authentic facts concerning a pedigree before it can be considered reliable. C. C. Crippen. That Dread Disease Which Is now well known as one of the germ troubles amongst domestic animals distempe- is ever abroad seeking its victims. With the advent of spring nearly every horse has increased value. The drivers, the beasts for heavy work, the broodmares and the young are all In danger. All may be benefited by the proper use of that guaranteed preventive and remedy. Craft's Distemper & Cough Cure. Users of this take no risk as the price is refunded in any case where it fails to cure distemper, coughs, pinkeye, grippe, shipping fever and other germ diseases. It is a good idea to keep it in the stable and use it regularly. Wells Medicine Co., Lafayette, Ind., are the makers. Your druggist should be able to supply it. . « Dick Wilson has announced that the sensational pacing mare, Her Grace, will not be started before the Readville meeting. This will be welcome news to owners of green pacers who intend starting at Detroit and going down the line. MAKOH 25, 1905] ®lte gvcebev axtb gtp&vt&maxt ON THE WING. San Jose Training Notes. [By Our Special Correspondent.] San Jose, March 22 — Very heavy rains and the mud that goes with it have put speed making out of the question at the San Jose track for the past week and the trainers have been forced to content them- selves with long rides up the road and jogging on an improvised quarter-mile circle under the trees. Now about the first thing a visitor to the track thinks of is Lou Dillon, so a word or two in regard to the famous little lady will be the proper caper. From the way she is being worked it would be hard to tell whether she was a champion or some young prospect as she has been repeated but twice and thf fastest mile credited to her since last fall is 2:40. This, how- ever, does not mean that Mr Doble is not giving her work aud plenty of it for her daily portion ranges from eight to eighteen miles, rain or shine, and the greater part of this muscle making process has been done over the pretty roads of Santa Clara county. One of Mr. Doble's chief aims with Lou Dillon has been to overcome that fretfulness and nervousness for which she has always been noted, and he has surely been handsomely rewarded, although his task has been tiresome and nerve sti aining. He has walked her for hours at a time, coaxed and talked to her with wonderful patience, until now he has the satisfaction of knowing that she will answer his every command and can be turned at any part of the road and easily driven on the trot at any rate of speed. She looks stronger and more rugged than she ever did and in fact is really bigger than ever as she now tips the beam at 865 pounds, and it can hardly be expected that she carries any surplus avoirdupois ae her daily rations have consisted of four quarts of oats with only a fair allowance of alfalfa. She looks good to say the least, as her picture on the title page well show, and there can be no question about her being in the pink of condition when she leaves San Jose. Nothing can be said as to the plans for her during the coming summer and at present this is an unsettled matter, Mr. Billings came to California a month ago for a visit and took up his residence at Santa Clara, but he was called East unexpectedly after paying one very brief visit to Budd Doble and Lou Dillon. Those who saw Kinney Lou 2:07| race down the Grand Circuit in 1903 would hardly know the famous son of MoKinney now as he haB broadened out and developed into a magnificent big stallion that tips the scales at 1100 or thereabouts, and is evidently still growing. He looks as trim and slick as they make them and is as sound as the day he was foaled. Mr. Doble will make a full season with him this year but will race him down the Grand Circuit in 1906 and gives fair warning to all owners of 2:08 trotters. Mr. Doble has several likely green ones in his charge and is very sweet on a couple of them. He has Kinney Al (4) by McKinney, dam by Altamont, that worked in 2:16£, last half in 1:06, last year; Ellis N. a five-year- old pacing mare by Cupid, dam by McKinney; Parker McKinney (5) by McKinney, dam by Dexter Prince; Grace, a two-year-old filly by Mcnbells, out of an Electioneer mare; and a promising green trotting mare by a son of Guy Wilkes, dam by Seale's Elmo. C. H. Durfee is managing a quartette of as good stallions as can be found on the Coast and the pros- pects are bright for a very big season. In the same stall where stood McKinney for two years, can be found his son Coronado 2:12£, a princelj big horse and one that is more like his sire in conformation, color and gait than any other living. Next is the game race horse Petigru 2:10$ by Kingward, out of the great broodmare Lemonade and then comes the handsome black four-year-old colt Almaden (2) 2:22£, by Direct out of a McKinney mare, winner of the Breeders Futurity in 1903 and the Occident Stake in 1904. He is a strikingly handsome young horae and will undoubtedly develop into a successful sire as be com- bines the blood of two of the greatest race winning families. The fourth is Galindo, a handsome three- year-old bay colt by McKinney and about the best bred one living, as bis dam Elsie is dam of five per- formers; grandam Elaine 2:20, dam of four, and his third dam is Green Mountain Maid the dam of nine. A number of hig-h class mares have been booked to each of these horses and the lot includes some race mares and great broodmares. Jack Phippen, who ror many years was in the em- ploy of Palo Alto Farm and later with Col. Exall in Texas, is training the largest string at the track, and he now has about sixteen horses in his charge. His lot includes the following: Milbrae 2:16J by Prince Airlie, out of Fearless by Fallis. that trotted better than 2:12 last fall; James Coffin's three-year-old colt Admiral Togo (2) 2:29| by Iran Alto, dam Arial 2:16| by Bernal; a two-year-old colt by Mendocino, dam Mary Osborne by Azmoor, also owned by Mr. CoffiD; Red Ruff, a six-year old black mare by Chas. Derby, dam by Leo Wilkes, that is owned by Fred Hahn and trotted a mile in 2:13i last summer; Auge Baron (6) by Ba.'on Wilkes, dam Lady Wilton, dam of Lady Thisbe 2:11 J, that has shown 2:08 speed on the trot; Molly McK., a green trotting mare by Athadon, dam by California Nutwood; Fred Chase (4) by Welcome, dam by Jim Lick; F. W. Covey (3) by Mendocino, out of Rose McKinney (dam of Almaden (2) 2:22|) by Mc- Kinney; Chestnut (4) by Inferno; a nice going bay mare by Boodle, dam by Azmoor, owned by Thos. Montgomery; Ruby K , a two-year-old filly by Del Oro, dam by Royal Sid, owned by Capt. C- H. Williams; a rangy grey gelding by Knight, dam Algra by Algona; and a handsome black mare by Sidney Dillon, dam Carlotta by Norval. Mr. Phippen 's horses nave been working nicely for him this spring and he has a half dozen that he thinks will hold their own at the races. W H. Williams is working a small but select string and he expects to be stepping along pretty lively as soon a3 the track will allow it. He has the brown pacing gelding Motanic by Chehalis 2:04J, dam by Hamboy, that worked in 2:13 last year; El Carmel, a three-year-old by Monterey, out of Miss GusBie, tbat has worked quarters at a 2:20 gait this spring; William L. (4) by Reywood, dam by Argent, tbat can shade 2:20 right now; a likely t*vo year-old chestnut filly by Iran Alto 2:12$, dam Laura R. 2:261- by Elec- tioneer; Daisy Almont (5) by Altamont, owned by Mr. Brady, Santa Cruz; a two-year-old brown pacer by Diablo; and a promising four-year old trotter by Charles Derby, out of a Nutwood dam, owned by Chief Hines of the San Jose Fire Department. Jack Groom has a stable of seven head and from the looks of the layout he can be expected to develop something of the sensational kind. In addition to the old war horse Leige2:12J by Lobasco, he is working the handsome and fast four-year-old filly CorLelia by Beau B. 2:16^, out of Lou Milton, dam of Lou Dillon; Marguerite W. (3) by Exioneer, dam Lilly Thorne by Electioneer; Sophia DUIod (2) by Sidney DUIod, dam By Guy by Guy Wilkes, grandam By By by Nutwood; The Winner (5) by Dictatus, dam by Antevolo; Jim Chase by Secretary; and a yearling by Monterey out of a mare by Delectus. All are looking in the best of condition and will be heard from later on. S. B. Vandervoort, of Irvington, has his handsome three-year-old chestnut colt Sir Charles Valpey at the track and comes over about twice a week to work him* The youngster is by Monterey 2:09}, out of a Silver Bow mare, bears a striking resemblance to his noted sire and is said to be developing speed very fast. Joe Twohig also of Irvington is working a very promising three-year-old by Monterey, out of Myra (dam of George B. 2:12£) by California Nutwood. The veteran J. W Gordon has quite a lot of good green ones and he expects to make race horses out of several of them. The list includes the Bix-year-old chestnut gelding, Billy Murray, by Diablo, dam by Memo, that has worked in 2:16, with a half in 1:07; Harry Moore's bay gelding Boxer, by Boxwood, out of Dolly (dam of Dolly Dillon 2:06!) by Electioneer; a three-year-old filly by McKinney, dam by Antinus; a green pacer by Alcyo; a black trotting gelding by C. W. S., dam by Admiral; and the bay stallion Silver Arrow by Silver Bow. Wm. Cecil has J. C. Mowry's handsome fillies Lady Mowry and Meryl M. and both are considered to be mighty good prospects. They are full sisters, four and three years old respectively and are by McKinney out of Electress 2:28i by Nutwood Wilkes. Lady Mowry trotted in 2:18 in her three-year-old form and is slated for about 2:10 this year and Meryl M. has shown speed enough for her owner to keep her "paid up" in all the futurities. Mr. Cecil also has a slick going chestnut gelding by Nutwood, dam by Azmoor, tbat he has great hopes of. S. Siljan is training the bay gelding Birdcatcher by Direct; Beauty, a nice looking two-year-old filly by Alcyo, dam Ida Belle by Dawn ; and Frank a chestnut gelding by Gen. Montgomery, dam by Nutwood. None of them have been stepped along much yet. Frank Granger who has several promising green ones in training has been confined to his home for about a week. T. W. Barstow is located just outside the Driving Park with the popular young sire Nearest 2:22J, a full brother to John A. McKerron 2:04A, and the sire of Alone 2:09J and High Fly (2) 2:24J. He has some good mares booked and will have a big season. Messrs. Singmaster & Sons, the well-known breeders and importers, of Keota, la., have opened a branch in San Jose in charge of Chas. Stanton and their efforts in the matter of introducing some high-class heavy horses, have been quite successful. They handle Percherons, Shires, Belgians and French Coachers of the highest types and since launching in the business here they have sold a score of stallions at good prices. The hobby of the firm is the Percheron and at present they have on hand over a score of these big fellows, mostly blacks and weighing from 1800 to 2100 pounds and prospective buyers can not fail to find something here to please them in both quality and price. _ B. S. McMahan. A Yankee "florseshift." Ole Sile Bangs drove to town one day, Holdin' the reins on a high-checked bay. Right In front of the groc'ry store He met Zeke Haines, of Clinton Gore— Haines up-ahlnd a flea-bit roan, Small skrld o' meat and a blamed lot o' bone, And that high-checked bay looked, honest true, Like a cross 'tween a goose and a kangaroo, "Lookin' for a shift''" asks Bangs of Hainea. "Dunno," says Zeke, layin' down his reins; "I'm prutty nigh suit and I wouldn't give a hoot For a swap 'less I got some good, big boot." "Boot!" says Bangs; "for thatold rip, With a hock like a squash and a knock-down hip? Why, boot, Zeke Haines, ought to come t'other way- Just you lift that lip and pee-ruse that bay. Nine years old— not over ten— Yas, mebbe 'leven— wal, twelve years, then. You can talk of the whol' of the teeth you've seen, But you can't budge me up above thirteen." "Thirteen!" saysZeke. "That hoss of yer'n Is sot down in books for the kids to learn That's the same old hoss of Paul Revere, With the same old heaves he caught that year. My roan, I'll allow, is gVnt a mite, But he's sound and kind and all ways right. Ain't afeard o' nothin'— man or machine— And he'll walk right up and drink gaserllne. He'll road you a mile in head-up style. If you want real hoss, it's your chance now, Sile." There in^front of the groc'ry store They chawed and they jawed for an hour or more, And they swapped.no boot, when out of wind, Each of 'em reckinin' t'other was skinned. Old Sile Bangs and old Zeke Haines Harnessed 'em over and fumbled the reins, Squinted and peeked a consid'able while; Took fresh chaws and thought a pile- Then each to each growled, "Say, we mout As well make sure what's the special 'out'." "Wall," grinned Zeke, "that roan is blind, And he's one o' the reel hlgh-pressur' kind; You ought to have reins like a three-inch j'ist So't when he gits tired you can give him a h'ist; Puffs like a tugb'ot— here him mile away! Now, what?s the 'out' in this 'ere bay?" He dropped the reins on the dashboard rail, When, whist! around swung a stubby tail, Gaflled the webbin's and held them tight. And away Zeke went, slam bang out o' sight. Sile peeked after through the dust, And he says, "I'm afeared he's plannin' a bust. When he showed sech hurry in rippin' away Bang-whang for 'lection, I was 'bout to say That I'd let him have old Iron-tail Liz With a grip in her tail that means strict biz. He may— he may come out all right, But it all depends where he happens to light." Then old Sile Bangs pinched an iron strap On the wheezing nose and said, "Gid dap!" Steered by the reins with careful lift, And started in search of another "shift." —Ilolman F. Day. m The Value of a Stallion. Ad Eastern writer, referriDg to the death of Direct 2:05J says: It is difficult to estimate the value of a stallion like Direct. Conservative horsemen place it at $35,000, although this sum would not have induced his owner to part with him. At the recent dispersal of Village Farm — the most valuable trotting; stud then exist- ing— the two highest priced horses sold were a son and grandson of Direct. His paternal half brother Directum 2:05^, was the highest priced at the Spier dispersal, another famous stud. Next to Lou Dillon when she was sold, the highest priced at that auc- tion was hia grandaughter Reybel, a three-year-old green filly with wonderful speed. Director, sire of Direct, at the age of Bixteen or seventeen years sold privately for $75,000, duriDg the boom in trotters; at-d long before the boom, when ihe trotters were worth much less than they are now, Dictator, grandslre of Direct, sold in his twentieth year for $25,000, and earned his purchasers a handsome profit, over and above his cost. This was the age of Direct at his death. Direct has sired a much higher rate of speed than Dictator, and they are just as game and good racehorses. Light harness horses are worth double what they were twenty-two years ago when Dictator sold for for $25,000. On this basis $50,000 is a reason- able valuation for Direct. Although a great loss, with four sons to take his place, East View Farm should not suffer any as a breeding establishment and head- quarters for the winning blood of this celebrated family of horses. The dues for members of the matinee club at the Empire City track have been fixed at $25 for the comiDg season. 6 Ctie gveeoev unit *pparismcm [March 25, 1905 Notes and News, m Dan Patch will be out again this year, and it will not be his farewell tour either. Good news /or horsemen. Los Angeles will open the circuit. $16,200 in purses for trotters and pacers. Meeting will begin July 3d and last six days. Santa Ana should get in line for the week following. Fresno 9hould follow Santa Ana with a good meet- ing of four or five days. And the rest will be easy, as Pleasanton, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Vallejo and Woodland will all hold har- ness meetings. The California circuit for 1G05 begins to have a healthy look. Get busy with your trotters and pacers and have them ready for the big purses all down the line. Mr. G. W. MacDonald'a mare Nelly Waldstein by Waldstein, dam Nelly Bly, foaled a nice filly March 20th, that is by the promising young sire Peter J. and is entered in the Breeders $7000 Futurity for foals of 1905. The handsome Arabian mare owned by Mr. L. C. Gates of Modesto, recently foaled a black filly by the thoroughbred stallion Del Norte. Mr. Gates owns a yearling full brother that looks every inch a race horse. James Butler, of New York, proprietor of the East View Stock Farm, has offered James A. Bell, of Phila- delphia, $1500 for the trotter George Curtis, by Curtis which he recently purchased from Thomas Collins, of Germantown. Stam B. 2:11} will haye several additions to his list this year. A horse that can get a $9000 colt from his first crop, iB a pretty good one to patronize, especially when he is a royally bred stallion and a high class race horse himself. Are you going to Denver to race? See the advertise- ment in this issue of purses to close April 1st. There will be two weeks racing with three stakes of $1000, one of $1500 and all the balance of the purses $500. There is good betting at Denver and a good track. Mr. D. E Newell of 519 Mission street, has recently been made General Agent for the Pacific Coast for Craft's Distemper Cure, a medicine for horses that is recommended very highly and for which there is quite a demand among horsemen at the present time. A. J. Welch last week sold to John Splan, who wai acting for Vienna, Austria, parties, the fast but erratic trotting mare Iva Dee 2:124, by Onward. In the M. & M. stake of 1901 this mare drove Eleata out the third heat in 2:08f, which is the record for the stake. She is now in foal to Bingen 2:06}. An Eastern paper states that the champion four- year-old pacer of last year, Irish 2:08} by Monterey 2:09}, will pace in 2:04 this year if no accident happens him. There are several youngsters by Monterey in California that will be beard from this year. Mr. Williams' horse is getting speed from all sorts of mares and large fine looking colts as well. Secretary W. H. Knight gives notice that the nest regular meetioe of Board of Appeals of the American Trotting Association will be held at the Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, Tuesday, May 2, 1905, at 10 o'clock A. M for the transaction of such business as may properly be presented to the Board for its considera- tion. All new applications and written evidence must be received at that office not later than April 15, 1905 Hal B. 2:044 will begin his stud season at Portland, Oregon, April 1st. His fee there will be $50. Every person interested in thoroughbred horses should have a copy of Captain Tom Merry's new book "The American Thoroughbred." Major Foxall Daingerfield of CastletOu, Kentucky says, "it is by long odds the best book ever issued from an American press on the subject of thoroughbred breeding." C. A. Arvedson, of Colusa county, has taken his horses and colts in training to the Woodland track where they will be worked for the Coast circuit. The Coronado two-year-old that Mr. I. C. Mosher recently sold to C. H. Ridgely of Illinois for $2500 is not the only one in Coronado's bunch of colts. There are several more that are as fast as this one. The real owner of Swift B. 2:16} is Mr. S. B. Lloyd of Boston, for whom Lon McDonald purchased the son of Stam B. 2:11} two weeks ago for $9000, as announced in the BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN last week. The J. L. McCarthy sale, advertised to take place at Portland in April has been postponed until May 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th. The Brook Nook Ranch con- signment could not reach Portland in time for the eariier date, hence the postponement. Wanda 2:14|, dam of The Roman 2:09} was bred to the McKinney stallion Coronado 2:12J, last week. As The Roman is by McKinney, Wanda should produce another fast one by Coronado, as he is one of the best individuals and fastest sons of the old horse. Geo. W. Lowry of San Francisco has purchased from A. G Wilson of Hollister the good three-year- old pacing colt Little Medium by Dictatus Medium, dam Little One by Benton Boy. This colt was a very fast yearling and should develop into a good racing prospect. It is not costing as much to keep a horse this year as it did last. The weekly hay market report issued by Scott & Wagner of this city states that the abund- ance of green feed this year has reduced the prices of stock and dairy hav while horse owners are daily buy- ing the better grades owing to the fall in prices. The choicest wheat and oat hay has dropped to $13 per ton, while No. 1 can be had for $10. Alfalfa hay is slow sale at $8. Mr. W. A. Baker of Melbourne, Australia, arrived in San Francisco on the last steamer from that country and as he is a great lover of the trotting horse and owns a few, he will look around the stock farms and training tracks of California while here. Mr. Baker owns a yearling filly by the Oakwood Park stallion Owyhee 2:11 owned by Trugania Stud Farm, Mel- bourne that took first prize at the Royal Agricultural Society show in 1904. Zombro 2:11 will not be taken to Oregon this year hut will remain in Los Angeles where his services are in great demand. Some very choice mares have been bred to Zombro at Los Angeles this year, among them the dam of Arketa 2:141, Lady Ash, a half sister to Sweet Marie 2:04|, Amber, the dam of Idylwild 2:174, Cleone. trial 2:134, Venus N. 2:20* and thegreat brood- mare Anna Belle, dam of Robert I. 2:08|, Murray M. 2:13 and La Belle (2) 2:16. Mr. R. P. Lathrop of Hollister purchased a fine Diablo filly at a Santa Rosa Stock Farm sale two years ago, and bred her last season to bis stallion Dictatus Medium. She foaled a colt on the 19th in&tant that is pronounced a beauty and one of the best lookers ever seen in San Benito county. Mr. Lathrop's mare Princess Dillon by Sidney Dillon, out of Princess McCarty by Dexter Prince is also due to foal in a few days to Dictatus Medium. At Glens Falls, New York, last week, Mr. TJ. G. Smith paced his nine months old colt Chas. Van Trump an exhibition eighth of a mile measured off on one of the streets. The colt, which is a full brother to the world's champion yearling Paul D. Kelly 2:20|, covered the eighth in 20 seconds He pulled a sleigh and as tbe footing was poor in places, the speed shown was remarkable. Wav down in Bangor, Maine, there is a stallion called Lanyard that is by Lancelot 2:23 (son of Mes- senger Duroc and Green Mountain Maid) dam tbe Palo Alto bred mare Haya by Electricity out of the old four mile running mare Katy Pease by Planet. The owner advertises Lanyard's fee as 320 and says the horse has trotted a half mile in one minute flat and a quarter in 29 seconds. "Cartoons of Cresceus" is the title of a very hand- somely printed and amusing book just issued, and for which we acknowledge receipt of a copy. The car- toons are reproduced from the newspapers of the country and are by such artists as Dickey and others. There is also a recapitulation of the records made by the great son of Robert McGregor during his career, and a most wonderful showing is made. His pedigree is also given and is headed "Cresceus 2:024 champion race horse of the world." As proof that half mile tracks, when properly con- structed, can be made fast the heats trotted by Ole 2:11 over the Ukiah track last fall can be given as evidence. The race which was between Ole, a trot- ter, and the pacer Inferno 2:15 by Diablo, was half mile heats, best three in five, and the Silas Skinner gelding won in straight beats in tbe good time of l:05j, 1:06 and 1:064, showing that the track was but little handicap ^o the winner. There should be more half mile tracks in California. The long dry summer makes ne Pessary a big water bill to keep a mile track and a half mile track only requires half the • sprinkling that is necessary on a mile track. The owner of a good trotter or pacer will feel like engaging a car and heading for Boston when he looks over the program of rich purses offered by the New England Trotting Horse Breeders Association for its Grand Circuit meeting advertised in this issue. Twenty-six thousand dollars or six purses is a pretty good sum. The 2:30 class trotters are offered $5000, tbe 2:10 class $10,000, tbe 2:14 class $3000, and the 2:25 class tbree-year-olds $3000. The 2:08 class pacers are given $5000. Read the conditions and enter at this meeting if you are going East The track at Read ville has one of the best meetings of the Grand Circuit. The stable of harness horses owned by Mr. C. Wt Clark of San Mateo, and now being trained by Ted Hayes at the Los Angeles track, have all wintered well and are now in good shape. They will be shipped to Denver about May 1st, to participate in the meeting there and if all goes well with them they may be given a chance to compete for the big purses and stakes on the Grand Circuit. The stable includes the following horses: Miss Georgle 2:11} by McKinney and Daniel J. 2:12} by Whitman, both pacers Tbe trotters are the three-year-old Bon Voyage, that took a record of 2:15 last year as a two-year-old; Master Delmar 2:16: Morone 2:18}. one of last year's good three-year-olds; Sally Lunn 2:2S4 by Wiggins, whose record was made as a two-year-old last year, and the green trotter Will Clark by Strathway, one of the best prospects in California. Flyingdotte, tbe filly that showed such phenomenal speed in her two-year-old form last year, will join the stable of Charles Marvin, at LexiDgton Sheis owned by Mr. Lister Witherspoon, Versailles. This Ally trotted a quarter in 314 seconds last year. Flying- dotte is about the size of Grace Bond 2:04}, and re- sembles her in other particulars. F. 3. Turner 2:28, son of Vallota, has sired just one yearling. This is a colt that Frank Turner, his owner, has named Dr. William S. Jennings. Tbe Doctor is a trotter and so promising that Mr. Turner has challenged any yearling raised in Sonoma county to trot a match race this fall. His colt is eleven months old at the present time. He is out of Caritone daughter of Antone by Dexter Prince and Biscari by Director. The handsome pacing stallion Sweitzer 2:134 by Secretary, son of Director, is offered for sale by Mr. W. F. Snyder of 2025 Lincoln street, Berkeley . Sweitzeris a very fast horse, a toppy fellow and very attractive in harness. His present owner has no use for him and will sell at a bargain. Sweitzer can be driven by a lady, is an ideal roadster and a good foal getter. He has been used in the stud very little but his colts are all large, fine lookers and Bhow breeding as well as speed. Frank S. Turner the new proprietor of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, is a great chicken fancier and has over twenty varieties of pure bred fowls at the Lou Dillon poultry yards at Santa Rosa. When his friend Dr. Summerfield returned from a trip to England last week he brought with him two dozen eggs of a famous English Game breed, which he secured from a breeder and carried across the ocean and the continent with great care. Mr. Turner has given them in charge of a "biddy " and the result is looked forward to with great interest. A filly foal arrived at Santa Rita Stock Farm near Pieasanton about 11 a. m. on Thursday, March 16th, that has a license to be a money winner in one or more divisions of the $6000 Breeders Futurity in which her dam was nominated last year. The filly is the property of Mr. E. A. Gammon, of Courtland, Sacra- mento county, and is by Sidney Dillon, sire of tbe world 's champion trotter, its dam Cleo G. by Yosemite, dam of the fast filly Easter Direct now in Ed Mills' hands at Pleasanton, second dam Lizzie C. by Frank Morrell, third dam Black Beauty by Dave Hill Jr., fourth dam Lily Dale by imp. Leviathan, fifth dam Dixon Mare by Bertram, and from there on thorough- bred. The filly is a bay with a star and strip on foie- head. She has been named Cleo Dillon. The Mercer County (Kentucky) Fair Association is a progressive body and has just announced a new stake of $1000 for saddle horses. It is a futurity, a sweepstakes of $1000 for mares bred in 1904, foals of 1905. It will be contested by sucklings, yearlings, two-year-olds and three-year-olds in 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908 during the meetings of the association at Harrodsburg, Ky. One hundred dollars will be given the sucklings, $150 to yearlings, $250 to two-year-olds and $500 to three-year-olds, while $125 goes to nomi- nators of the dams of winners. The original nomina- tion fee is $2 for the mare, with $2 additional each succeeding April 15. There will also be a schedule of entrance' fees for the produce exhibited: $5 to be shown as sucklings, $7.50 as yearlings, $10 as two- year-olds and $15 as three-year-olds. The demand for high class carriage horses is far greater than the supply in California at present. The Baywood Stud alone has sold $6000 worth of horses within the past few weeks and could have sold twice the number bad they been on the farm and ready for sale. The horses sold averaged over $540 per head. This includes one pair at $1200, one pair at $1000 and one pair at $800, besides a high stepping Hackney filly by Green's Rufus that brought $1500. All the horses sold but two were by Rufus and those two by the German coach horse imp. Socrates. In spite of the automobile craze, the horse is in fashion and the de- mand is increasing instead of diminishing. Several of these horses sold from Baywood Stud will be ex- hibited at the horse show to be held next month in conjunction with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses. When Sidney Dillon was sold for $9000 at tbe "Old Glory" sale last November several horsemen standing by the ring side were heard to say that the sire of the sensational Lou Dillon was practically stolen. Subse- quent events would seem to corroborate this state- ment at least to the extent of showing that the price realized for the horse was but a fraction of his value. He reached bis new bome at Indianapolis about December 1, and a few days afterwards his stud book for 1905 was opened, and his service fee placed at $150. In such high esteem did the breeders of the Middle West hold this sire of extreme speed that they fairly deluged the sire's owner with their applications, and before he had been quartered in his new home 60 days the book of Sidney Dillon — which was limited to 60 mares — had been filled, and his owner had gone South, partly for his health and partly to escape the annoy- ance caused by belated breeders begging for oppor- tunities to bonk mares. As 60 mares at $150 each will just pay the $9000 which Sidney Dillon cost, it is not difficuft to determine whether or not this horse, like many others, was practically given away. — Eider and Driver.

Ketcham, owner of the champion stallion Cresceus, was in town last week and returned to Toledo on Saturday. He did not have a great deal of horse talk to unbridle, as he is just now interested in the erection of a big hotel at Toledo, and he would insist in getting b tck to that whenever anyone started him on the horses. The royal chestnut champion has wintered well and is all right, was just about as far as he would get, and then switch off to the new hotel "project." Certainly George ought to know all about how to run a hotel real good, for he has done enough kicking about them all over this country and Europe, to know just how it should be done. If there is a man in this country, or any other for that matter, who can harrow up the feelings of a landlord and make him doubt that life is worth living, by real scientific kick- ing, as Mr. Ketcham can, there is a medal coming to him. As soon as the landlords of the country heard that Mr. Ketcham was going to build a hotel, they begaD to rub their hands, wag their heads gleefully and remark: "Ah, his punishment is near at hand; he'll get what's coming to him now." But Mr. Ketcham doesn't consider that he will be repaid in kind for the kicking he has done in his years of travel, for he says that he will see to that there'll be nothing in his new hotel for guests to kick a». There will be no china door knobs in the soap dishes, nor gossamer towels on the wash stands; un- fortunate gueBts who wake up in the morning with hot coppers will not have to roam all over the place in their night clothes lookiDg for the pump to get ice water to cool them; he won't ask them to eat Turkish towels for stewed tripe, or put turnips in the horse- radish dish; his cooks will know better than to make hash out of the hinges of trunks, or servre sole leather beefsteak; there will be no blonde wigs on the butter, nor pepper in the pumpkin pie; njither will he give them bill poster's paste for blanc mange. In fact, there will bono chance to kid, for George knows just how to keep his guests happy and at peace with the world. Mixed up with the hotel talk there was some con- versation about the indoor trottiDg record, about the only one the stallion Cresceus does not hold, having never been given an opportunity to go for it. Mr. Ketcham said that he might bring Cresceus hereto go for the record at the Horse Fair races next month in Madison Square Garden, if sufficient inducement was offered. Some horsemen were of the opinion that he was only joking, as they did not think he would allow his great trotter to run chances on such a small track; but there is no time or place that Cresceus is not equal to. Mr. Ketcham considers him up to go- ing anywhere that any other horse can go, and history bears him out. That game, and bulldog blood of Robert McGregor is not appalled at any undertaking. Cresceus has performed some of the most unusual feats of any trotter in the history of the world. He has been stabled in a thin, portable stall on the ice fields of Canada and hitched to a magnol'a tree under a blazing summer sun. He has stretched his magnifi- cent limbs on all sorts of tracks and roads from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and he is always on deck ready to do just about anything asked of him. Once, on a trip across the continent, the train on which he was making the journey was stopped at a small station for two or three hours. The natives heard that the great Cresceus was aboard and they wanted to see him. Some of the citizens hunted up Mr. Ketcham and it was not long before Cresceus was unloaded, hooked to some sort of a heavy gig and trotted a mile on a newly-built track from which the stumps and roots had not been removed and it re- quired a lot of skill to dodge them; but it bothered Cresceus not the least. He has been the hero at pumpkin shows, braving every sort of weather and tracks without losing a feed. Once when driving him through the streets of Toledo, a load of lumber and one of hay blockaded the street; Mr. Ketcham quietly drove him over the curb and up on the sidewalk, without a thought of the great horse injuring himself. Cresceus is a horse of almost human intelligence. NothiDg appears to scare him or put him in a temper He will go anywhere he is asked and the eight-lap track which will be built at the Garden for the Horse Fair races would be easy for him compared to aome of HIGHLAND A high-bred Trotting Stallion of the Electioneer Family in the Stud at San Mateo the tracks he has trotted. It would be like a parlor track alongside a plowed field. There is considerable doubt as to his being brought here, however, for the Garden races, as there was no certainty of it when Mr. Ketcham left for home. It would be great to see him step on the miniature track and it would be a big thing if Mr. Ketcham could be induced to drive him for the indoor record. The Cuyahoga Stable. A Cleveland, O., dispatch of the 8th inst., an nounces the following: "C. K. G. B.llings has a new name for his Cleveland Btable. Hereafter it will be known to horsemen throughout the country as the Cuyahoga stable. He has shown evidence of his fondness for Cleveland and Cuyahoga county by selecting this name. He announces entries in the various rich trotting futurities which closed on March 1st. Although Mr. Billings never races his wagon horses in professional contests and may never start any horse in a regular race still for the benefit of the horses he is entering his colts born this year in the futurity races. Instead of being en" tered in his name the horses are named by the Cuyahoga stable. This is the first announcement of the fact that bis establishment carriesthis name. His string of horses has always been referred to as the Billings stable. The colts he is entering in these futurities are all by John A. McKerron, out of noted wagon trotters, such as Lucille, 2:07; Mazette, 2:04J; Louise Jefferson, 2:09|, and Imogene, 2:11}. with Sweet Marie and Tiverton, but after all there is one man who has a horse that he is willing to chance against the great pair. That man is Mr. T. F. Adkin of Rochester, who says he will name his gelding Lison. jero 2:08}, in such a race. Mr. Adkin does not claim Lisonjero was as fast last fall as Sweet Marie and Tiverton, but he says he does know that his horse worked a mile in 2:06 with comparative ease, and that he looks for him to be a much better horse next season over hislast year's form and that, of course, means that he expects him to beat 2:05, at least, before fall. If Lisonjero comes up to his owner's expectations and starts with Sweet Marie and Tiverton in the free.for- all class, which will be on the program of the Buffalo Grand Circuit meeting, he will certainly assist in making a contest that will be an interesting one." Raymond, of the Horse World writes: "It has for some time been known that the owners of Tiverton 2:04J, and Sweet Marie 2:04J, are willing to start those two trotters for a purse for free-for-all trotters providing those two great trotters train into good form this spring, but it has been conamonly remarked that there was not much hope of any other horse being named with this pair. No one has been able to point out a trotter that seems to have a good chance Thinks Stanley Dillon is the Goods. Millard Sanders is a great admirer of Stanley Dillon 2:07|, winner of the M. and M. last year. "I have seen," said he, "a lot of horses that were called nat- ural trotters, but I believe that Stanley had more trot in his head from the beginning than any horse ever seen. Just think, he was not broken till December of his six-year form. When I say broken, he did not even know what it was to be harnessed up to that time, and 90 days after I commenced breaking him he trotted a mile for me in 2:15, and I believe that is something that no trotter has ever done. If he trains sound this year, which I think he will surely do, he will trot a mighty fast mile, for Ed Geers and I pre- dict right now that it will take a corker to beat him, as he is game to the core, and no route is too long for him." ♦ The California bred stallion Lochinvar 2:21 by Director H. dam Venturess by Venture, that made his record at Colusa in 1902, is advertised to make the season of 1905 at Waterville, Maine Strike! — if they don't give you Jackson's Napa Soda wbpr you ask for it. CRONJE, SON OF Cupid 2:18 and Hdlda 2:084 Owned by A. B. Spreckels and now in training by W. G. Durfee at Los Angeles mis gvee&ev avib Qvovtztnaxi LMAEOH 25, 1905 Breeding a 2:10 Trotter. [Gasper L. Redfleld in Horse Keview.] A breeder recently said to me. "What I want to know is how to breed a 2:10 trotter. Can you tell me that?" The conversation being interrupted I did not answer at that time, but I will endeavor to do so now to a larger audience. A 2:10 trotter is the result of a development extend- ing over many years. The actual time required de- pends partly upon the rapidity with which the different animals involved are developed, and partly upon the continuity of the developing process. The time is shortest when development is most rapid under proper training, and when the breaks are least in number and of shortest duration. It is longest when development is slow, and the breaks in the developing process are numerous or of long duration. In fact, the breaks may be so frequent and of such length that 2:10 speed never will be reached. This does not mean that a man must spend fifty or more years in the breeding business before he can produce a 2:10 trotter. On the contrary, he may select for breeding purposes animals in which the de- veloping process has been more or less continuous for a long time, and by judicious training he may quickly fill up the missing gaps He may do even more than this. He may find animilsin existence which, when properly mated, will produce 2:10 trotters with great regularity. It is simply a question of finding animals possessing a sufficiently continuous development of a given kind, and mating them with other animals having a similar continuous development of the same kind. « Every horseman knows what a continuous process of development means in the life of an animal, and also knows what breaks in that process mean. But a period of fifty or more years involves the lives of several animals, and these bring in those breaks in continuous development which are necessary to re* production. We may begin training a colt when be is young and keep it up regularly year after year, but as soon as we breed him to produce another animal there is a stop to the developing process and a period of idleness which continues until we are able to take it up again with the new foal. It is the break in the continuous process of development that we need to consider in the production of 2:10 trotters. Development, in a sense that will produce2:10 speed, is dynamic in character. At the beginning of the period of gestation the germ from which a new animal is to develop is charged with the same dynamic quantities which its parent had at the time. The period of gestation is a period of abso'ute rest in which there is growth of the new animal but no dynamic development. In fact, there a a loss of dynamic development in the foal during this year of gestation which corresponds to what its parent would lose in development by being kept similarly quiet for a similar period. After foaling there comes to the foal a period that is partly growth and partly dynamic development. During this period it gradually regains the dynamic development which it lost during the period of gesta- tion. The length of time required for completely re- gaining the lost dynamic qualities so that the new animal will be dynamically the equal of its parent at the time of reproduction wiJl depend upon the treat- ment of the foal. Under proper training it may have regained the lost development before it is two years of age. Under lack of trainingit may never regain it. For the sake of a concrete illustration we will assume that animals are developed and bred in the ordinary way, and that the foals produced are trained so that at the age of three years tbey have completely re- gained the lost development and are dynamically equal to their parents at the time tbey were produced. Under these conditions, the loss of time in the con- tinuous process of development is one year for gesta- tion, and three years for regaining loss, or a total of four years lost for each reproduction. With this degree of training, if we regularly breed animals at three years of age, the development we give them will be just sufficient to balance the loss during reproduc- tion, and there will be no advance. We would never reach 2:10 speed. Our analysis shows us that each time we breed we lose approximately four years out of the time neces- sary to develop, by training, a 2:10 trotter from ani- mals having a less dynamic development. All that is done duriDg that four years, more or less, Is done simply to keep the animals from going backward. To gain anything in development and thus make progress toward evolving a 2:10 trotter, we must ad- vance the age at which we breed these animals so as to make tbese breaks in the continuous processor developnent further apart. If we maintain the de- gree of training which we assumed in the beginning; (traiuir j» each animal at this rate each year of its life) ih the breeding age from the assumed three years to an assumed seven years, then we will gain four years each generation of the total number of years necessary to produce the desired 2:10 trotter. If we breed at a still later age, maintaining the same degree of gaining all the time, we gain a still greater number of years each generation. As nearly as I am able to determine from analyzing the pedigrees of 2:10 trotters already produced, it re- quires about one hundred of such gained years to evolve a 2:10 performer from animals capable of 2:30 speed — the training being a mixture of race track development and road work of varying degrees. Where training is great enough, for racing purposes, it appears possible to reach the end by as few as forty of these gained years. This estimate of one hundred gained years is the sum of the gains by all of the different animals in the generations between 2:30 and 2:10 speed. When a straight line of descent from sire to son is considered, tbe number of gained years appears to be between twenty and thirty. To illustrate still further: let us assume, hypotheti- cally, that we start with an animal which can be made to go in 2:10 by twenty years of continuous training, and that we consider only a straight line of descent. If we breed regularly at four years of age, we will have our animals five years between generations and will gain one year of development each generation. Under these conditions it will take us one hundred years of steady and continuous work to produce our 2:10 trotter. If we breed at seven years we will gain four years of development each generation and will reach the 2:10 trotter in forty years. If we breed at thirteen years of age we will gain ten years each generation and reach the result in twenty-eight years. Having given the general principles involved in tl^ evolution of 2:10 speed ve will return now to the method to be employed in breeding a 2:10 trotter without unnecessary delay. The first thing is to pro- cure a developed mare, though it is not at all necessary that she have a record. It will he an advantage if she was developed at an early age, and the more con- tinuously and the longer she has been developed the better. Before deciding upon the mare to be selected it is desirable to know something of her inherited qualities apart from what she exhibits when tried. To learn this it is necessary to examine the qualities of her near relatives, particularly the produce of her sire, her dam'B sire, and her sire's dam. We want to know if these animals produced speed, and particu- larly we want to know the sex of those which exhibited the greatest speed. In this examination stallions form one class, and mares and geldings taken together form another class. If nothing is to he considered except the mere production of a 2:10 performer, then we want a mare whose best relatives are all in one class — all stallions or else all mares and geldings. If tbe best produce of her sire are in one class and the best pro- duce of her dam's sire in the other class, then the mare should be rejected unless other things are exceptionally good, or unless the breeding is for stock purposes. If we find a mare individually well developed and whose best relatives on both sides were mares and geldings, we should breed her to McKinney, Sidney Dillon or some other horse whose best progeny are also mares and geldings. She should not be bred to Allerton, or to Direct, or to any other horse whose best performers are stallions. If the product of this union is a colt, he should be gelded before he is old enough to reproduce. He will be much faster as a gelding than as a stallion. [f the mare we find is one whose best relatives on both sides are stallion performers, then her inherit- ance is strong in the male line instead of the female line, and the intention should be to get a stallion from her. To get a fast stallion from her it is very important that she should have been developed while still a filly. Her age and the amount of development she received when mature are less important in this case. It is of importance, however, that she be from a comparatively old and well-developed dam. Before choosing such a mare for the purpose of pro- ducing a fast stallion, it is desirable to know what kind of development her sire had at the time she was got. A good mare would be one got by a horse which had been several years on the race track, and one which had sired this particular mare tbe last year of his racing career. A good one would also be by some comparatively old horse which had been kept up by regular harness work, as was the case with Electioneer and Pilot Medium. Having selected a mare having the desired qualities of early individual development and from a strong male ancestry, she should be bred to Allerton, or to Direct, or to BOme other stallion which is compara- tively old and which has been kept in a developed condition for years by regular harness work. Under no circumstance should she be bred to a horse of strong female inheritance, like McKinney or Sidney Dillon, nor to any horse which has been kept in a box stall or other restricted quarters without exercise. It is not sufficient that the horse has been kept in a large paddock where he could take such exercise as he desired. The breede'r who wishes to produce a 2:10 stallion should reject all such. The best sire for producing a 2:10 stallion is one which has been raced for several years, which has subsequently been kept up by not less than six or eight miles of road work each day, with occasional brushes, and which is fourteen or more years old. Another good kind of sire is one which is just com- pleting several years of racing. These rules are proper ones to follow when the thing desired is simply a 2:10 performer. When it is desired to produce a good sire of performers, the same prin- ciples are to be considered, but a slightly different process is to be followed. McKinney is an exception- ally good sire of mares and geldings, while Allerton is exceptionally good as a sire of stallions. It should not be difficult to produce a sire which will have the good qualities of both Allerton and McKinney, and consequently greater than either. To do this take a mare which is highly developed and which has been kept in a highly developed con- dition for several years, the more the better. It will be of considerable advantage if her development com- menced when she was a tilly, and was continued with- out intermission to within a few wetks ol the time she is to be bred. There will also be an advantage if she is from an old and well developed mare. An old road mare is a good kind. The object of this is to get a mare which is by in- heritance and by indiviaual acquirement strong on the female side. She should be brtd to a stallion which is in a similar way strong on the male side. A stallion produced in this way may not himself be capable of trotting in 2:10, but he can be maae into a sire of 2:10 spetd of either class from maies ol a coi- responding class. To do this, training should begin when he is very young. This early development builds up his capacity as a sire of fast mares anu geldings. (Jnimes, Axtell, Sidney Dillon, Dexter Prince and Alcyone are ex- amples of horsts developed while colts which became great sires of fast mares and geldings. The later de- velopment builds up his capacity to sire last stallions, and the longer the development is continued the greater will be the capacity. Allerton ana Direct are conspicuous examplts of a large amount of late de- velopment making horses into good sires of fast stal- lions. Both of these are kept up by regular road work. Mr. Williams tells me that Allerton has trot- ted over 50,000 miles in harness. This means from seven to eight miles each day for eight years. It is well known that many horses which are good as performers are not good as sires of speed, while other horses are good as sires of speed though not individually good as performers. What has been said about the difference in the ways to be employed in producing a performer and in producing a aire of performers will give an index ol the reason for this. It is very largely a difference between nervous tension and stamina. A horse may have a very high-strung and energetic disposition without having great en- durance, or he may have great endurance without having a high degree of nervous tension. The horse with a high degree of nervous energy makes a good performer, but it is the horse with endurance which makes the good progenitor. These two kinds of horses are the producis of two ways of breeding. The excitement and strain of racing tends to key a horBe's nervous system up to a high pitch and, when a young horse has had two or three seasons of racing, nervous energy and ambition are stamped on hiB character. If the horse is bred at this time that nervous energy and ambition is transmitted directly to his son, and that son is a better performer in con- sequence. If the foal is a daughter she individually inherits these characters only in part, but she inherits full power to transmit them to her sons If such a daughter is bred to some other hor6e just completing a racing career and having a similar development of nervous energy and ambition, any son she may pro- duce will inherit a double portion of these characters. Many of our best performers are the product of an elaborate combination of such inheritances. On the other hand, take a horse which has seen little or none of race track excitement, but which has had a large amount of road work. The energy he acquires is not of such a nervous character and he does not develop quite the same type of ambition. But as tbe years go by he gains strength and stamina, and this strength and stamina he transmits to the offspring which he may get in later yearB. The son produced in this way may not have the nerve and ambition which will make him into a great performer but he has the foundation of stamina which, crossed upon nervous energy and ambition from another source, will produce great trotters. This shifting of the type of character or disposition at different times in life and under different circum- stances, and the transmission of these different char- acters to offspring got at different times, is beautifully illustrated in men. I have treated this matter quite fully in "Control of Heredity," to which book I refer the reader for further information. What is true of men is equally true of houses, and the pedigrees of different horses show the transmission of tbese shift- ing characters. I might say in brief that young horses transmit nervous activity and that old horses transmit stamina, but that statement is too general to be strictly true Ihe devious course through which characters are transmitted is not easily grasped, but when it is once grasped those things which now appear wrapped in the profoundest mystery become clear and understandable.

Form reversals at Emeryville were as frequent laBt Wednesday as showers in April at the Far East. Hulfurd opened the agony ball by winning the first race off by eight leDgths in a "bleeding gallop," after being very heavily played. In his previous start the Criehton gelding finished eighth after going back in the betting— in keeping with the performance that followed. He was beaten about eight and one-half lengths by Dora I., eight lengths by Laura F. M. In Wednesday's race Hulford beat Laura F. M. eight lengths in the gallop aforementioned, this being an improvement in seven days' time of about eighteen lengths on Hulford 's part, considering he won pulled up on Wednesday. In the second race Abe Meyer beat Daruma by a neck at even weights. Five days previously, at a little shorter route, Daruma beat Abe Meyer four leDgths at even weights, this being an im- provement on the Storer colt's part not nearly as startling as Hulford 's, but still wonderful. Dr. Leggo got good very suddenly, too, in the fourth race, and won in the style that has made him so distinguished, defeating Nigrette and Stilicho, which had beaten him four days before. In the fifth event Travers gave Best Man (the 9 to 20 favorite) such handling as would not have done credit to an exercise boy but three months in the business. However, the horses from the Rowell stable seem to be uniformly unsuc- cessful at odds on, and Best Man's defeat was no great surprise to those who have observed their poor run- ning at poor prices. On March 10th this same horse was at 13 to 20 and was beaten a length at seven fur- longs, run in 1:26| — a fast-run race. Wednesday Best Man was beaten two lengths in l:28i with twc pounds more up, or 110 lbs., the track being perhaps one and one-half seconds slow to the mile. On March 2nd, Best Man (odds 14 to 5) took up 110 lbs and won at six furlongs in 1:13 flat, and was second to Adirondack February 25th at odds of 5 to 1, coming from eleventh place and being much iaterfered with. Trapsetter beat him at a mile and fifty yards February 14th, and three days before that he was unplaced in a race wherein he wa9 a favorite. February 8th he was played down from 3 to 1 to 9 to 5, and won like a good horse, and he won January 30th at odds of 5 to 1. This is Best Man's record since he demonstrated he was in form, and it is certainly a study in flip-floppery that should furnish food for thought among the gentlemen in the glass stand. David Boland won the last race easily after getting away on the fly, and was heavily played. He beat My Order three and one- half lengths (102 to the Iatter's 104 lbs.). Five days before My Order carried one pound more ihan Boland and beat him by two lengths. Verily this was the banner day for form reversals, and it is 9aying a whole lot, too, for this has been the banner season for failure to run form. It's too bad the stewards do not busy themselves sufficiently to put the evildoers out of business, and if horses are such rank in-and-outers they should be barred from competing — that is, if the officials like to see clean racing and desire to pro- tect the public. RaciDg in Missouri and Tennessee is dead, th6 ban upon wagering coin having been put by the legislature of those two states, long considered two of the leaders in the production of high class race horses and in love of its inhabitants for "the sport of kings." In Missouri the Godfrey measure does not become a law until June 16th, and doubtless the Elm Ridge, Fair Grounds and Union Park owners will make the most of the time that remains to them. It's too bad that this has come about, but it only emphasizes the fact that the system is wrong. Racing in a big city like St. Louis would never have been killed if the track- owners had run four months in the year instead of eight or nine, and the same applies to Chicago. In the past few years we have seen the racing conducted at traoks owned by one or two men who only had in view the making of money. Formerly reputable men formed jockey clubs and gave meetings of two or three weeks in spring and fall, or summer and fall, and it was an outing that came under the heading of "sport." Of late years the sporting feature and the outing was lost sight of, and the conductof race meet- ing was placed under the caption, "Business." The best men in the country used to breed racers and delight in Beeing their colors flash to the front, the coin captured being a secondary consideration. These gentlemen have quit "the game," and professional trainers and owners have taken their places. There will have to be a return to the old plan, have a cut down of the raciDg at any one place by at least forty per cent, or the "goody-goods" in the community will bring legislators to see the damage that haB been done and stop the game altogether. When States like Missouri and Tennessee, considered the most friendly in the country to racing (bar perhaps Kentucky), go against the time-honored Bport and legislate so that it is stopped within their borders, it is high time for the friends of racing all over the continent to sit up and pay attention and prevent the piggish race track managers from killing the thoroughbred breed- ing industry, in which is invested hund-reds of millions of dollars. The Daniels Brothers, of Texas, are much in evi- dence at City Park, New Orleans Last Wednesday they won with The Don and Lord Hermence. Other horses well known in California who do well there are Ada N., Bon Mot and Ora Viva. Wade McLemore has won several races with Attila. Jim Grant, for many year3 manager of Theodore Winters' 9tock farms in California and Nevada, has purchased the good Midlothian mare Nigrette of Walter Jennings. Nigrette will be raced here until the end of the season, then turned out until next fall. The price paid wa9 not made public, but $2000 was not far from the mark. C. C. McCafferty, believing Delagoa's defeat of Collector Jessup on Monday last was no fluke, offered to match the Kingston mare for $1000 againBt the Eastern crack, the flyers to go the same distance as they previously ran. Jockey Michaels was suspended for his ride on Jessup in this race. Jockey Alarie's suspension was made indefinite after Hulford rolled in last Wednesday with Bell in the saddle. It looks as if Alarie had been doing some very queer saddle work for several moons, and the only wonder is he was not intercepted sooner. Ralph H. Tozer. Gyp Horse Dealers. A new gyp game has been discovered; one which is proving wonderfully effective in getting rid of worn- out horses at about four times their value. It is known as "the hop." A gyp dealer with a bunch of horses to dispose of secures one really good horse — - one that is young, sound and full of spirit. This horse iB stabled along with the others, all of which are worth very little, and when a customer comes in answer to his advertisement he tells him to take his pick of the lot "for a hurdred," "I've got horses that cost me two hundred and a quarter in that lot, " he says. "But I want the money now. If I could wait a week or two and advertise them right I could get my money out of them; but I can't wait. Take your pick for an even hundred. " The sound horse catches the eye of the buyer at once and he selects that one, feeling that he is getting a bargain. "All right," 9ays the gyp, "it's no dif- ference to me which you take. That's a good horse you've got." Money is paid and a receipt given for "one horse," and when the buyer comes to lead the horse away the accommodating dealer throws in the halter and tie strap. "Take it along, "he Bays, "for that horse needs a good strong halter. He is a little wild in the 9table at times, but don't you pay any at- tention to that. He'll come around all right in a few minutes and he's sober as a judge once you get him hooked up." Here the dealer deftly squirts a few drops of acid or "hop" medicine on the horse and the circus begins. Lashing out with one foot and then the other and then with both together the horse tries in vain to shake off the terrible sting caused by the acid and tries to bolt, buckjump and roll all at the same time. If his new owner has not already let go his halter strap the terribly-frightened horse soon makes him let go and dashes back into his stall. The buyer objects to taking such a dangerous horse and is told to take his pick from among the others. He objects and wants his money back, but the dealer won't listen to that and the gyped man finally leads off a $25 horse. "To be sold for a bill of keep" is an old-time dodge that is pretty sure to catch the farmer or a person* who has only a small capital. A fairly good-looking hor6e, with teeth doctored to disguise its age, is generally selected to fool the unwary at the "keep" game. The prospective buyer, after being shown the animal and given the price, is given the tale of woe of how the horse was left at the stable by a professional man and a bill of several hundred dollars run up for his feed and caretaking, will sell for $150, but the horse must be gotten out of town into the country, so he will not be reoognized and the "gyp" will be responsible for all after claps. Should the would-be victim hesitate a capper is immediately on the scene. He rushes in, draws the gyp to one side, and in audible tones says: "That party who was here yesterday will give $200 for that horse if you will trust him for $50 for two weeks. He is a friend of mine and I'll go his security." "No, sir," replies the gyp, "I'll sell him for $150. There is a party here now who wishes to buy." The party gets him, he is taken into the country and the gyp clears a cool $100. "Widow lady will sell six-year-old Canadian horse; fast traveler; suit butcher, grojer or country use; also will sell my late husband's driving turnout," etc. This scheme has been worked for a half century and has made several gyps wealthy. The buyer visits a private stable, meets a colored oran dressed in livery rig: "Sorry, mistah, but de missus am just gone out; but her son is somewhere about. I'se jest call um." In comes Mr. Gyp, dressed in the height of fashion. He don't know much about the horse, that ie shown by George, the coachman, bui knows his ma wants to sell, as she is going to Europe. Will take $65 for papa's favorite, etc. Good-looking nag, generally heavy or a cribber, worth $20. Sale is effected, buyer gyped, and when he returns the plug George just tells him he don't work for dat man any more. A rank kicker is worth his weight in gold to a gyp if properly trained. "To train a kicker right you've got to educate him to pull any kind of a rig when leading him and to kick the stars out of the sky when anybody gets up behind to drive him, " said a recog- nized gyp the other day while bragging of the trick9 he had turned. "You see, a victim comes to the stable to look over your stock. You praise up the virtues of every old plug in the stalls except your kicker. Finally his eyes rest on the money winner and he wants to buy immediately. 'Is he sound? Will he work?' and other such questions are asked. Of course, he is sound, no cribber, pull a ton in any harness. Will hitch him up and show you. The kicker is hitched to a big vehicle, with a log put in the wheels, taken by the head and he pulls like a major. Get your money— a nominal price — and victim takes horse outside, hitches him to his own wagon, picks up the lines and says: 'Get ap.' Then the fun begins. Generally the top and front of the wagon are demolished and the buyer is badly frightened. You are astonished, never saw him do that before, etc. Result, horse taken back at a dis- count of $15 to $20, and you wait for the next customer. Say, I had one that I sold four times in one day and cleared $75. There is no money in horse trading. " "I sold three fellows from the same town up the State the same 'hoss' in one day, or at least they thought it was the same horse, until they met at the West Philadelphia freight yard to ship home," said another gyp who seemed proud of bis profession. "Each had secured a separate car, but they shipped home together and not one of them ever squealed." "Did they ever come back?" was asked. "Oh, jes. One fellow dropped in one day and said it was a good joke, but their friends were not 'wise' yet." Ice companies wanting to dispose of surplus stock, gas concerns installing the motor system, brick company having no use for stock, express and transft r shipping companies and private stables wanting to sell, are gyp concerns under different guises. Every gyp has a scheme of his own, and they all make a snug profit and wear diamonds. A genuine business concern when wishing to dispose of its horses, be the number great or small, does not stoop to bicker and bargain over a horse. It sends its entire lot to the auction block. The above is a sample of the methods employed by gyp dealers. Most of their advertisements would lead the unsophisticated to believe that they can buy a horse worth about $1000 for from $65 to $100, when in reality the aotual value the animals is from $15 to $25, and many of them are dear at that figure. There are plenty of reliable dealers, men of property who will represent the animals just as they are. It is safer to patronize that class than to secure a big bargain which in the majority of cases will turn out like a "gold brick "speculation. — Philadelphia Record. Great Popularity ot Flying Fox in the Stud. That English breeders appreciate the mistake that was made when they allowed Flying Fox to be sold and taken to France is evident from the statement of "Clarion," in Co unty Gentleman. He9ays: "The number of English mares that are sent every season to Flying Fox compensates in somemeasure for the loss the British stud sustained by the expatriation. Credit must be given to those bleeders who have been enterprising enough to secure nominations to him at his enormous fee of 600 guineas. Not that there has been any lack of English applications for services. The horses success has been so phenomenal that M. Blanc would probably have had no difficulty in doubling the number of mares from this country that have been subscribad for this year. I mentioned last week that Major Piatt's Primrose had foaled a filly by Flying Fox, and that his mares, Sea Air and Surprise-Me-Not, had been sent on a visit to M.Blanc's horse. I learn now that Mr. R. A. Brice's Hampton mare, Lady Rayleigh, has foaled in France, where she is on a-visit to the son of Orme. The announce- ment is made, too, that the nomination Becured by the King to FlylDg Fox this season will be filled by the young mare, Nadejda, who was a woeful disappoint- ment when in training, but may make amends at the stud. She is full sister to Persimmon, Diamond Jifbilee, and Florizel II., and mating her with Fox is rather a daring experiment in inbr 10 ©he greeztev cmt> gtytnrtemcm [March 25, 1905 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

The two bills printed in last week's issue have been signed by Governor Pardee and are now in effect as part of the statute law of this State. In the main both bills are generally acceptable to sportsmen. The open season on ducks, quail, rail, curlew, plover or other shore birds, is as before other changes, four months, October 15 to February 15, the limit bag on ducks is still 50 birds and this variety of game is not on the non-sale list. The limit on quail, doves and snipe (and all shore birds; is now 25 and the sale of either is prohibited. A close season on snipe prevails from April lat until October 15. This we regard, particularly the protection that is given English snipe, as one of the be=t features in Assembly 820. The season on deer is cut down to two and one- half months instead of tbree and one-half months and the limit is two bucks for each sea-on instead of three. The bill making it felony to kill an elk was also signed by the Governor. The section of the Penal Code heretofore supposed to coutrol the actions of the duck netting fishermen has been amended so that tbe pjssessio.n of game which shows the appearance of illegal capture is prima facie evidence of law violation. In tb j fish bill changes it will be seen that tbe close season in shrimp has been taken off — a measure that ived as much condemnation as the provision :" iiing the exportation of shrimp has been com- . -.[. The open season for blnck bass has been increased one month — January 1 to June 1 being now the close period. Tbe limit of size on striped bass is still three pounds. The use of nets on all streams upon which a fish hatchery is maintained is prohibited. The open and close seasons on sttelhtad ard other varieties of trout have not been changed. A limit, however, is placed on a day's catch, 50 trout — or, "who has in his possession, during any one calendar day, trout other than steelbead trout the total weight of which exceeds 25 pounds," whatever this may mean. The taking of trout by any other means other than hook and Hue is probioiud. This will or should stop netting and spearing and is one of the most important features in the new bill- Trout less than one pound in weight are on the non sale list. San Francisco Fly-Casting Club.

GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. SONGBIRD PROTECTION. Section 1. Section six hundred and thirty seven a of the Penal Code of the State of California, is here- by amended to read as follows: 637a. Every person who, in the State of California, shall at any time, hunt, shoot, shoot at. pursue, take, kill, or destroy, buy, sell, give away, or have in his possession, except upon a written permit from the board of fish commissioners of the State of California for the purpose of propagation or for education or scientific purposes, any meadow lark, or any wild bird, living or dead, or any part of any dead wild bird, or who shall rob the nest, or take [sell or offer for sale] or destroy tbe eggs of any meadow lark or of any wild bird, is guilty of a misdemeanor; provided, that nothing in this sectiOD shall prohibit the killing of a meadow lark or other wild bird by the owner or tenant of any premises where such bird is found de- stroying berries, fruit or crops groving on such premises [, but the birds so killed shall not be shipped or sold ] The English sparrow, sharp-shinned hawk, Cooper's hawk, duck hawk, great horned owl, bluejay, house finch [known also as the California linnet), and all birds otherwise protected by the provisions of this code and those birds commonly known as game birds, are not included among the birds protected by this section. "A VICIOUS MEASURE." Under the above caption the Sacramento Union rightly styles Braostetter's bill (passed by the Senate) which makes it a felony to kill an elk. Truly the way of legislators is past finding out. The Union says: "Men, plenty of them, have been hanged for killing deer, but that was in the olden time, under a very different social system than ours, one from which we of this generation are wont to congratulate ourselves long since passed. To make it a felony to kill an elk means that he who kills a representative of this group of the deer family shall be confined in State's prison, be deprived of bis rights as citizon; in a word, be sub- jected to all the humiliation and penalties whicb are meted out to the grand larcenist, the highwayman and the most depraved of criminals. This is a step backward to the bad medieval days, to conditions un- American, un-Californian and without reason or justi- fication. The Branstetter bill is a reactionary meas- ure, and therefore a bad measure. "But apart from the extravagance of its penalties, the bill is bad because like all measures rchich have not behind them public opinion, conviction under it will be practically impossible, for no jury made up of twelve American citizens with red blood in their veins will be party to sending a man to a term at Folsom or San Quentin, with the brand of felon upon him, and the consequences of it upon his family, becaue he has killed an elk. As a matter of fact, the jurymen should not go behind their verdict; all they are called upon to answer is: Did the defendant kill an elk as charged? The law provides that tbe judge do the rest. But the average jury in such case is not going to say that the judge shall visit a felon's punishment upon one guilty of a trivial and unimportant offense. Better all the elk in California be killed, than one man be deprived of his liberty at Folsom or San Quentin for killing an elk. In other words, in such a case the jury will take upon itself the responsibility of ignoring the law; of saying that it shall not be enforced. "Laws that will be thus lightly held are demoraliz- ing. They create sympathy that is deserved for a lawbreaker, and tend to bring all law into contempt, reason enough why such measures should be frowned down in theLegislature, whicb comes from the people, and is supposed to be representative of them." A REMARKABLE INDOOR CAST. In the anglers' casting tournament in connection with the Sportsmen's Show at Madison Square Gar- den, E C. Leonard, the world's champion fly caster, made a cast of 143 feet 7inches, a new world 's record, beating his own best previous performance of 128 feet. It was in tbe single-handed bait casting contest, and eight other competitors tried conclusions with the champion. The tank was 130 feet loEg, and Leonard, when he made his remarkable cast, threw bis frog 13 feet 7 inches outside of it and onto the rustic bridge which connects the island with the mainland. Mr. Leonard comes from Central Valley. N. Y , and is 42 years old. He has competed in tournaments for the past twenty- two years and holds 55 gold medals. In 1893 he won Ell the open events at the Chicago World's Pair. FLY-CASTING. The third Saturday and Sunday fiy-casting contests at Stow lake will take place this afternoon and to- morrow morning. An interesting feature of these club gatherings at the lakeside is the appearance of a number of enthusiasts who are novices in the sport but who are rapidly developing into skillful handlers of rod and line. FISH COMMISSIONER QUALIFIES. John Bermiogham, Jr, this week filed bis creden- tials with tbe Board of Fish Commissioners as the recently appointed Fish Commissioner. The board now has its legal quota of three commissioners. In this selection by Governor Pardee, tbe sportsmen and the commonwealth of this State will bavethehappy felicity of knowing that Commissioner Bermingham is the right man in the right place. A thorough and enthusiastic sportsman himself, he is, furthermore, en rapport with the varied interests that are in- directly beyond the observation of sportsmen but essentially a large part of the commission's duties to keep track of. Mr. Berminghsm i6 a business man of much executive ability, holding a leading position of responsibility and importance with a large manufac- turing plant located at Hercules, Contra Costa county. His genial personal qualities are known and appre- ciated by a large circle of business associates, a strong social following and by all sportsmen whom he has met. BASS CLUB OUTING. The members of the San Francisco Striped Bsss Club will gather at Green Brae tomorrow for an out- ing and general good time. Everybody who proposes to be present should bring along a cup and spoon for Cbef Breidenstein promises to regale tbe gathering of sportsmen with some "mystery '-' — whatever it is, it will be good and palatable for Charles is an artist of high degree. AT THE TRAPS. Differing from hay fever, appendicitis and other fashionable maladies that are enjoyed (f the expres- sion be permissible) by tbe well-to-do, is the epidemic now prevalent, numbering its victims by thousands and favoring no especial class of society. Rich and poor, business man and mechanic — all are suffering from the fever. The symptoms most noticeable are the uneaEy manner of the afflicted, the careful scrutiny of weather signs, the eagerness with which the patient scanB window displays of sporting goods bouses. The treatment indicated is: Rx. One double barrel hammerless shotgun. . 12 guage Smokeless shells (Selby loaded) quantum suf 250 M S. Dose, ad lib. To be taken on Sun- days. Patient Bhould be allowed to visit any and all trap shooting grounds unmolested and should not be bothered with ordinary business cares until tbe attack wears away. A course of tbe treatment men- tioned will, in most cases, be efficacious, at least, until fall, when almost invariably, the trouble returns with increased intensity. There is no known preventive once a victim becomes inoculated with tbe germs of this disorder and it grows with jearE — the older the patient, the more severe tbe attack There is no cure — if there was the doctor would be lynched. A feature of the Union Gun Club shoot tomorrow will be the big team race between Union and Empire club shooters. Much interest among local trap Bhots has been manifested in this contest — the race wili be the best two out of three shoots. The second shoot is scheduled, we believe, for the Empire grounds next month. The Millwood Gun Club members will Emash blue rocks at Mill Valley Junction tomorrow. A good at- tendance of shooters is anticipated as the card for the day is an attractive one. March 25, 1905J CUtte ^veeifev ana gtpjnrteroan 11 Gridley sportsmen and shooters from nearby points will hold a big blue rock shoot on June 10th and lltb. The tournament will be under the auspices of Messrs. Humble and Bjlu and promises to draw a large crowd. The Union Gun Club will hold the first regular olub blue rock shoot at Ingleside tomorrow. The California Wing Club opened the live bird season at Ingleside on the 19th inst. Weather condi- tions, while not overly favorable, might have been worse. In the club race three straight scores were made by Clarence A. Haight, Dr. E G. McConnell and Phil B. Bekeart. The four eleven-bird men, M. O. Feudner, W. J. Golcher, A. M. Shields and E. Klevesahl, were also in the money to high guns. W. R. Whittier and W. E. Duzineare two new members of the club who took part in the shoot last Sunday.

One of the chief points that a good judge naturally looks for in a Terrier, whether it be for bench honors or breeding purposes, is character and expression. The novice, hearing a discussion between experts on this all-important subject, for allimportant and vitally essential to a well bred dog it undoubtedly is, may wonder wherein lies this attractive feature so much sought for and so highly prized. To gain the knowl- edge and experience which shall put him on a level with those who have owned, bred and reared Terriers for the best part of half a century, he must make a study of th9 dogs of toiay; the qualities of the dogs of the past he must perforce be content to take on hearsay or from records of their achievements, says a writer in The Country Gentleman. More than once the question has been propounded. Are we, in the dogs we breed now, losing the true Terrier character and expression? It is a difficult question to answer, and with the generality of the show-bench Terrier before us, he "Wakes the bitter memory Of what he was, what he is. and what must be." But, first, it may be as well to see if we understand what the old breeders designated "Te rrier character. " The true Fox Terrier, though all other varities may be included, has an appearaneeof "dash" and vivacity which eioglts him out as the avowed exterminator of all obnoxious animals of a lower status, and his cheer- ful temper and readiness for all kinds of work render him an excellent sportsman's companion, It must be remembered that the modern Fox Terrier has no re- corded ancient lineage behind him His evolution has practically taken place within the last half- century, and he was evolved for practical purposes, and principally in association with Foxhound kennels, where his duties were the ejectment of foxes that had too hastily retired to subterranean quarters and badgers who were in evil repute with the farmers. Breeding was not carried on then on the lines of points of perfection, such as are demanded by the show- bench critics of the present, but rather with regard to the game qualities of the strain; "the will to do, the soul to dare" were attributes more in favor than a long, lean head and correct ear carriage in the hard-faced TerrierB who lived bard lives and who, when sent to ground, were expected, first and fore- most, to do what they were sent to do It was from these working Terriers, these' lords of the lion heart" that the true Terrier expression was obtained, and as all the then known strains were largely drawn upon to produce the show specimen it is a matterof interest to note if and to what extent this particular char- acteristic has deteriorated. That this expression and character was largely represented in the strains of Terriers accustomed to and constantly employed in field sports is due to the nature of their occupation, which from its variety, caused them to be always on the offensive or defensive; and were it necessary still further to trace this"trait" in their character back through the ages, we should arrive at the period when the dog was "As free as Nature's firs! made man, Ere the base laws of servitude began." But the question is not a retrospective one. It deals with the present, and must be looked at prospectively as it affects the future of the race. It behooves breeders carefully to study the matter if this, one of the most mportant points of value in a breed of sport- ing dogs, or dogs bred ostensibly for sporting purposes, is not to be lost sight of. Assuming that the Terriers of today are descended from strains in which their ancestors were workers to the manner born, and that there is really any noticeable loss of that character which was so conspicuous in their forebears, with the few generations which have intervened it can hardly have been lost to any considerable extent and should rather be considered as dormaDt Heredity, which is an important factor in breeding for characteiistics, is lost sight of in breeding for points, but, at the 6ame time, it takes more than a few generations to break its power. The remedy, which, if any, is required, lies in the Terrier breeders' own hands. What that remedy is the lesson of the past should teach them Of courSH. the same condition of things cannot in all cases prevail at the present time, but too little ad- vantage is taken of opportunities, which may be found for the seeking, for the preservation of inherited character, and too much for the competitive display of mere physical points for personal enrichment. Herein lies the secret. The institution of dog shows led to a standard of excellence as regards structural perfection being Bet up, and breeders turned their attention toward attaining th'S ideal Terrier This led to honored prodigies of theshow ring being viewed commercially through spectacles which magnified the risks they might run if entered in an educational school of sport for the development of latent instinct. To realize this one has but to be familiar with the ways of the show world. The methods of 'teaching the young idea" have but one aim, that of impressing on him how to display his symmetrical form to the best advantage before the eyes of the judge by means of an oft-times offered piece of liver or his kennel plaything, an india rubber ball, and with no more outward and visible sign of that "dash and vivacity" which is his birthright than is evinced by an occas- sional and half-bearted desire to discount his fellow competitors' chances. Due appraisement of Mb anatomy having been made, he trots meekly back to his bench, whence he surveys the passing world with beatific and benign expression. Is this as it should be? It seems that we may echo the words of Milton and say that this custom is "vain wisdom all, and false philosophy." Under a sporting judge, what weight would a few scars gained in honorable conflict with fox, badger or otter carry? With reasonable conformation to the required standard they should insure a recognition as in one that, endowed with the attributes of his race and having been tried, had not been found wanting. It is the practice with some owners of large kennels of Terriers who have sporting inclinations to keep a few of their inferior specimens for working purposes, but to what extent does the blood of these "unsuit- ables, "in which the spirit of sport is kept alive, mingle with the rank and fashion of the establish- ment? The wise and scientific breeder — for, before all, breeding, to be successful, must be on scientific lines — uses it judiciously, the unwise not at all, and it is the constant breeding from the laurel wreathed champions of the show bench, combined with an utter disregard of fostering the sporting proclivities of the progeny, that has brought us to a period when it is necessary for us to give pause and "take thoughi for the morrow." -» DOINGS IN DOGDOM. SEATTLE NOTES. The communication given below from Mr. Charles McAllister, the energetic secretary of the Seattle Dog Fanciers' Association, is of much interest to the fancy and is in line with .sentiments that now should prevail with the rank and file of Coast dogdom. A coalition among fanciers around the circuit would do much to consolidate general interests and bring about the ioterment of past factional discord in its own ashes. Wc call attention to the announcement of the club's bench show, etc., on page 14 of this issue and com- mend the show to the well wishes and generous sup- port of our readers in the same -pirit and for the same general good of dogdom that we will and do urge a reciprocative support from the North for the 'Frisco show, for in unity there is strength and now is the time to ride in the band wagon. The Seattle Dog Fanciers' Association will hold its first annual bench show under American Kennel Club rules, at Madison Park Pavilion, Seattle, April 26, 27, 28 and 29, 1905. From assurance received from the fanciers of the Coast, the indications point to one of the largest and best exhibits that has ever been held in this city. Many valuable trophies have been donated to be distributed among the winners in the respective classes, among which is the Frederick & Nelson Challenge cup, a magnificent trophy, for the best four dogs in the show, of one breed, exhibited by the same owner. A minature of the trophy will be pre- sented each year in commemoration of the win. With- out doubt this trophy is the most valuable that has ever been offered by any show giving club on this Coast, and theadvantagesof its win must beapparent. Among the other valuable trophies are the follow- ing: The President's cup; the Vice-President's cup; the Secretary's cup; the Lnwman & Hanford cup; the Fischer Bros.' cup; the Hubbart cup; the Post- master's cup; the Bonny-Watson cup; the Power cup; the Williams cup; the Rainier Hardware cup; the Benninghausen cup; the Whiten Hardware cup; the Seattle Hardware cup, with several others that have been assured. The California Cocker Club offers a valuable trophy for the best Cocker in the show. Mr. J. P. Norman offers a trophy for the best American bred Airedale Terrier in the show. The Russian Wolfhound Club of America offers a club medal in bronze for the best Russian Wolfhound. The regular prizes will be in cash. We beg to call attention ,o the fact that Portland and Seattle shows are held under the rules of the American Kennel Club this season, and we ask the cordial support of the fanciers of the Coast. A win on the circuit this season means something, and the larger the exhibit the greater number of points will be to the win toward a championship. Seattle, especially, we feel is entitled to favorable con- sideration by reason of having the opposi'ion of a show giving club in thi6 city, and while this associa- tion anticipates no serious opposition from abroad, every effort will be made by the members of the old Seattle Kennel Club to discourage local entries in the show given by this association. The Seattle Kennel Club has published in the daily press of this city their intention of holding a show on April 12-15, 1905, (the dates of the Vancouver, B. C. show) and while all fanciers know that show will be but a local show at the best, and their wins will count for nothing, no one can deny that it will, to a certain extent, have a damaging effect upon the efforts of this association. Overtures have been made for the consolidation of the two clubs, but unfortunately have been submitted in such a manner, and such conditions imposed by the old club, that they could not be entertained by* this association. James J Lynn, of Port Huron, Michigan, will place the awards. He comes to us with the best of recom- mendations, and that he will be satisfactory in that capacity is assured. In view of these conditions this association earnestly requests the hearty support of the fanciers of the Coast. GOLDEN STATE COLLIE CLUB. For the S. F. K. C. show the following specials have been offered, for memberB only: Silver trophies for best Collie dog; bitch; California bred dog; bitch. Silver cups for best California bred dog pup; bitch pup, best dog in novice class, best bitch in novice class. Silver cup for best tri color. Silver cup for best brace, dog and bitch. Mr. Wm. Ellery offers a silver trophy for best California bred dog pup. R. F. Dana offers a special for best owned by a "little boy." Tbors offerB a special for best owned by a "little girl " Taber offers a special for best owned by a lady. Bly the & Trott offer a silver trophy for best brace — dog and bitch. A. C. Robison offers special for, best. Besides the foregoing there will be offered a number of other fine specials, this list will appear in the show catalogue. Hugh McCracken, J. N. Adams and M. F. Blancbard have been appointed a show committee to take charge of the club exhibit in May. At a special meeting of the club on Thursday evening several new members were elected. COCKER CLUB NOTES. The California Cocker Club members are energetic- ally devoting themselves to a rousing showirg of their fancy at the spring show. The committees appointed are: Messrs Jones, Blackwell and Wolfen, to San Franc'sco Kennel Club. Messrs. Brown and Cresswell, trophies. Messrs. Jones and Cresswell, care of trophies. MeBsrs. Newberger and CresBwell, decorations. The following handsome specials have been donated : Mr. J. Hervey Jones offers the President's Cup for best. Mr. D. P. Cresswell, the Vice-President's Cup for best of opposite sex. Mr. Wm. Blackwell, cup for best parti-color. Mrs. Fred Mason, cup for best shown from Sacra- mento county. Mr. A. Wolfen, cup for besi puppy sired by Ch. Redligbt. The club will give a trophy for the best Cocker at the Seattle shiw and two medals for the Portland show— for best Cocker dog and bitch. BULL TERRIER CLUB NOTES. The officers of the Pacific Bull Terrier Club are: Ed Attridge, President; W. J. Tiernan, Secretary- Treasurer. At a recent club meeting a committee of thiee was appointed to select and purchase prizes for the May show. A trophy will be provided for each class. The club roll of membership willclose on April 10th, and remain so until the Spring show is over. Dr. H. L. Tevis has donated a splendid trophy — another Breeder's Cup. The members of the club are: E. Attridge, A. S. Cunningham, Phil Fay, W. J. Tiernan, Mrs. Beatrice Youngberg, F. Kelly, Athole McBean, Charles White, C. Morel, John J. Gleason, R. H. Rountree, C. H. Ward, John J. Deane, W. C. Bogen, J. C. Bone, C. F. Jackson, Mrs. G. F Jackson, Ben L. Tarbox, E. S. Simpson, Dr. J. Wilson Shields, George Flexner, Mrs. J. H. Donovan, F. E. Watkins, of Portland, Dr. W. H. Watkins, C. L. Creed and F. H Heinbach. GOOD DAY FOR GOOD DOGS. W. F. Waltson's Irish Water Spaniel bitch Kitty Kelly whelped, to Ch. Dennis C, nine puppies (3 dogs) on March 17th. The puppies are all strong and lively and bid fair to round up into fine shape. The breeding is of the best. Kitty Kelly was sent out here not long ago by Mr. Carson, of Toronto. Cb. Dennis C. is well known as one of the best of the breed on the Coast. Wm. Bay's Irish Water Spaniel bitch Rowdy Girl whelped February 20th six puppies (3 dogs) to Ch Our Chance. Dr W. P. Burnham has leased from Mrs. W. C. Bogen the Collie bitch Tip Top. T.

Although the Pointer is among the most favored sporting dogs in this country, few shooters are aware of the number of varieties in which it is found through- out the Continent. Indeed, judging from the many methods for which it is trained, taking the Continent throughout, the Pointer in its different families is probablv the most popular dog of all, barring Hounds, with the" sporting-man. The Poodle Pointer, a wire- haired or hard-coated variety, is used for a multipli- city of purposes in both France and Germany. We have it represented as retrieving a jay and standing guard over a roebuck, as well as performing the ordi- nary work expected of him in this country. In America the ordinary Pointer is trained to retrieve. There are many different Pointers in Germany, some of which have the short, hard, wiry coat, common to our wire-haired Fox Terriers; the Italian Pointer is well known In its own oountry ; and we have the Dutch Pointer, which is also in many varieties. The French Pointers, or Braques, form as important a family as the Spanish Pointer, from which it Is possible our own EngliBh Pointer and the Continental varieties or families have come. It would be interesting to trace the origin of all these different varieties. They vary slightlv in character, which is proof of their common origin" No doubt most of the French and German strains have at one time or another been crossed with the Hound, and from them is quite traceable where the wire-haired Hound has been introduced. The crisp nature of their coats on the longer haired Pointers indicate this much more than a cross of the Setter, as the latter would produce longer and com- paratively soft or silky hairs. This Hound cross is shown, too, in the feet, which in the harder coated families are round and thick, asthat of the Foxhound, rather than a little longer, which is usually considered best for the true Pointer. Some of the German Pointers would be useful in this country, for they combine handsomeness with a reputation for all round work that at any rate at one time was thought to be desirable. However, in England, fortunately or unfortunately, fashionable sportsmen require a differ- ent dog for the various phases of his sport; a retriev- ing Setter is considered to be wrong, and the up-to- date Retriever man will not let his dog hunt for any game until it haB been shot at, killed or wounded, dome of the Braques, the Bourbon to wit, is entirely denuded of his tail; thereby his appearance is spoiled, without any corresponding advantage being gained. Other Continental Pointers, like the Italian and some of the German varieties, are likewise "docked," the reason for which is not easy to discover. Probably their owners persist in the belief, long since exploded in this country, that the strength and power of the amputated stern is transferred by a peculiar ordina- tion of nature to the back! The facts for what would be an extremely interesting history of the various families and strains of the Pointer must be sought in France and Germany even more than in Spain, the archives of which have already been thoroughly searched by Mr. W. Arkwright, whose fine volume on the variety is so well known. Pigeon Shooting Upheld. The following article taken from the American Field will be read with interest by Coast sportsmen. It is very gratifying to know that common sense has for once prevailed in proceedings taken against shooters who killed live birds at the traps. It is rare, indeed, that the lower tribunals have the backbone to go con- trary to what it believed to be the popular feeling — < r rather the puritanical intolerance and fanatical perie- cution of the cruelty to animals cult following, that stands for alleged popular feeling. It has been the belief of all concerned in the prosecution of such cases, both in court and in print, that cinching the shooters, if it may be an error, is one on the safe 3ide. When these cases reach the appellate courts, the grandstand players are in the background, the merits of the case are put through a legal analysis compati- ble with facts and in accordance with law. The decision quoted below is not the first on this question and should not be the last until the rights of sportsmen are thoroughly established. We will go a bit further in this matter, to the extent that a law passed by a legislature and prohibiting pigeon shoot- ing is unconstitutional and is not worth the paper it was written on. "A decision of much interest to live bird shooters at the traps has just been handed down by Judge Chretien of New Orleans, reversing the decision of a lower court, from which the case was appealed by Louis Gerties, president of the City Park Gun Club of New Orleans, who had been fined for cruelty to ani- mals, on complaint of an officer of the S. P. C. A. The court's ruling that killing pigeons at the traps, and that are used for food purposes, is legitimate sport, not cruel, and more humane by far than methods in vogue in slaughter houses and market places to secure food, is the logical deduction of a normal mind. Judge Chretien ruled that trap shooting is encour- aged by the law, at target practice tended to render citizens competent to protect and guard the honor of the nation in time of invasion or war. Thecourt then proceeded to quote the State game laws for the pro- tection of birds and game, showing that the shooting of wild pigeons is not prohibited at any time during the year. Without being molested, therefore, anyone so in- clined has the right to go outside of the limits of the city a' d kill wild pigeons without being answerable there. or to any authority. It is not and cannot be contended that such shooting would make the party amer able to the charge of cruelty to animals, any nan the shooting of ducks in season, 'luch a i tion would be equal to affording protection to all birds, and would, in effect, prohibit the use of ducks, snipes, partridges or any other bird as human food. If it be true, therefore, that a hunter has the right to shoot a pigeon on the wing when arising from briers, trees or bushes, and that the party so shooting would not be violating the law protecting animals or pigeonsfrom cruelty, why would the shoot- ing of a pigeon on the wing flying from a cage be more cruel? The method of killing is the same: death results from similar means, that of being shot, and, therefore, is not more cruel in one instance than in the other. To kill an;animal or a bird is at all times and always cruel per se, yet the necessities of man- kind demand that these cruelties be perpetrated, as man's existance depends upon this practice. The beef which is rendered senseless by a blow on the head with a heavy hammer and is pierced through the heart with the butcher's sharp edged knife to extract life and blood is cruelly treated, yet no one has pretended or can pretend that beeves should not be killed because it is cruel so to do, and that man should, therefore, feed on vegetables, fruits and escu- lents. Pigeons in law are considered to be wild birds as long as they have no habitual resting place within bounds of anyone's premises, and as long as they are atlarge they are and become the property of those who take or capture th6m. As wild birds one may shoot them without in any manner running contrary to the provisions of the ordinance in question. As private property, the owner has the undoubted right to kill them. Would it be pretended that the usual mode of killing chickens, by twisting their necks, is more humane and less cruel than shooting them? If not, it seems clear to me that the owner would have the right to shoot his chickens or pigeons, as the case may be, without running counter to the ordinance in question. Therefore, I am of tbe opinion that the mere shooting of pigeons is not a cruelty under the ordinance. It was contended that the pigeons were unneces- sarily killed," which in the ordinance, as construed oy Judge Chretien, means "wantonly destroyed;" that is, killing without good motives or killing simply with a desire to destroy and hurt; so, if a good reason existed, then the act would not be cruelty under the ordinance. The opinion then goes on to state the objects and purposes of the gun club, which are to perfect the members in the use of the gun, to develcp good marksmanship, promote accuracy of the eye, judg- ment of distances, steadying the nerves and preserving coolness. "Millions of dollars," concludes the judge, (;are expended annually by the national government in giving our soldiers target practice, and that it is not a useless expenditure the results of the naval battles of Manila and Santiago have fully demon- strated. Aside from these reasons of high national and political concern, the testimony shows that the birds killed at these shoots are sold to restaurants and used as human food. I, therefore, conclude that they are not and have not been unnecessarily killed, and that the defendant in that sense has not violated the ordinance. "For these reasons the judgment of the lower court is reversed." The Pacific Coast Sportsmens' Show. California, the sportsman's paradise, will have its grand showing in this respect within the four walls of the Mechanics' Pavilion, the first two weeks of April, during the nature show of the Pacific Coast Forest, Fish and Game Association. No lover of rod, guD, forest, field or mountain can afford to miss the big exhibition. The hunter and fisherman will find con- genial hours to be speDt because the show will be of the things that interest him most. It is the boast of the association that it will have the finest aquaria ever shown in the West. Barring perhaps the monster Jewish and tuna, which are difficult to keep alive after coming from their native waters, specimens of every variety of the finny denizens that infest our streams and bays and ocean will be on view in the 200 feet of aquaria. A hatchery in operation will add interest to the fish exhibit. The disciples of Izaak Walton will find further amuse- ment and instruction in the fly-casting tournament scheduled for April 6th and 12th. Game birds from field and marsh will also be ex- hibited in their variety and the wild animal depart- ment will cover a large area with everything from a rabbit to a bear as examples of what California pro- duces to interest the sportsman. Outdoor life in all its phases will be depicted. Nothing has been left un- done that might add to the scope of this first of a series of annual expositions that have become so popular in the larger Eastern cities. In the gallery will be found a wonderful art exhibit of pictures pertaining to the general plan of the show. The gun clubs will have booths where they will show their paraphernalia and trophies of the hunt. There will also be a host of trade exhibits of things that have to do with outdoor life. Encampments of Indians and Uncle Sam's soldiers and marines will help along the general effect. For entertainment there will be a bewildering array of tournaments of outdoor sports from fly-casting to tennis, running the gamut of rifle and revolver shooting, lacrosse and other games. Financed and handled as it is by representative men of this city that can hardly fail of being the best that the country has ever seen. There will be enough special attractions during the thirteen days to provide a three ring circus with material for many years to come. The Blue Rock Gun Club of Alameda, held their opening shoot Sunday, March 5, 1905. Out of the 39 shooters present 28 shooters shot the celebrated Winchester Leader Shells primed with the Win- chester New No. 4 primer.quick and reliable — adapted to smokeless powders. A Herd of Elks Resists Removal. Several months ago we recounted a scheme for ore- serving a noted band of elk ranging in Koi n county by removing the herd to a new and apparently favorable range in one of the valleys of the Sequoia Park game reserve. Everything was propitious and a vexed question was thought to have been settled. There was one drawback, however, the animals were an unconsidered butintraetible element in the transpor- tation project and if the following story is true the aBe will become one of puzzling and vexatious con- sideration for those particularly concerned. Within less than 200 miles of Los Angeles, in the northwestern part of Kern county, on the great ranch of Miller & Lux at Button Willow, is a herd of 200 elk magnificent specimens of the noble animals that at one time roamed in thousands over the great western plains, states the Los Angeles Times. Sometimes passengers on the McKittrick branch of the Southern Pacific catch a view of these animals in the dis.ance as the cars rush by. Persons who have visited and ridden over the country have seen them at a little distance, but it is well nigh impossible to approach them, as they are the most timid of all animals, tak- ing alarm and fleeing at the first approach of danger The elk was hunted for years by Indians and white men, first with bow and arrow, and then with rifle but this is forbidden at Button Willow. The herd was for years the pride of Miller & Lux, the great ranch and cattle owners of the San Joaquin Valley who have had a standing reward out for the appre- hension of any persons molesting this herd of noble animals. Thus they have thrived and increased in numbers, until they have, in some cases, become a source of annoyance, and their owners are facing the problem of their ultimate disposition. To place them where they can be preserved for all time, in a con- genial home, and where they can be cared for and protected is the desire of those who have kept them so long. Every year the herd increases, and it is now likely that an effort will be made to remove the young and place them in the Yellowstone National Park. Some time ago the great corporation of Miller & Lux, that has succeeded the noted firm of cattlemen of' that name, presented the elk to the United States govern- ment, on condition that they be so removed. The government readily agreed to the terms, and prepara- tions were made for their removal last fall. It was intended to have a grand round-up, suoh as is held on the cattle ranches at branding or shipping times. The elk were to be gotten together, driven to the shipping pens at Button Willow, loaded into cars like cattle, and shipped by the railroad to their new homes. Hundreds went to see the round-up. Some there were who predicted failure, and the result proved that they were right. The plan was all right on paper, but the elk objected when the time came to put it into practice. They successfully defied even Uncle Sam's authority, so when the round-up ended they were in full possession of the field, with the effort to remove them ended probably forever so far as the older animals iB concerned. It is now expected they will be left undisturbed in their old home for the balance of their natural lives. About a score of the best cowboys from the great ranches of Miller &" Lux and the Kern County Land Company were employed. Cautiously tbey went about their task. After much labor and several narrow escapes from a stampede at tbe very outset, the animals were brought together and started ©n a drive of seven miles. Twice it was necessary to cross the railroad, and both times the herd balked. The occasion calied for the exercise of all the skill the herders could command. They stood sniffing the air as though smelling danger from afar. Their limbs trembled, and they pawed the ground in terror. They did not seem to fully comprehend what they feared, and did not apparently realize as yet that they were being driven. By dint of care and coaxing they were finallly per- suaded to cross the railroad, but the sense of danger seemed to increase. Finally, as they neared the pen, it appeared that they knew they were being forced. In a few minutes the wildest terror prevailed, and the herd stampeded, heading for the hills. Once there all the work of the vaqueros would count for naught. Throwing caution to the winds, they spurred their cow ponies on in pursuit to head them off. Failing in this some had recourse to their lassoes and in a few minutes a dozen or more of the animals were roped. But never had the cow punchers in all their experi- ence tackled anything like it. The elk were simply worked up to a frenzy. Wildly they charged hither and thither, fighting blindly with the fury and strength begotten by fear. After hours of work, late in the afternoon, the herders succeeded in corraling about fifty and driving tbem into the pen, where they were effectually shut in by the high board fence, and the effort to get them into the cars began. But in the pen the trouble started anew. The sight of the whitewashed fencs and the hundreds of peering human faces aroused the timid animals to still greater frenzy. Right and left they dashed, hurling them- selves against the fence and against each other one minute, then huddling together in abject terror the next. Several died from sheer fright and some from exhaustion from their terrific struggle with the cow- boys or from Injuries received. About half a dozen were finnally driven into the cars, and of these two died on the road. If the calves can be taken from the herd and shipped the Yellowstone Park may secure a valuable attrac- tion. Whether this will be done or whether the animals will be left permanently in their old home remains to be seen. There are those in the San Joaquin Vallty, who, for sentimental reasons, desire them to stay March 25, 1905] ©he gsreeber mtfj gtpQvtetxtcm 13 Feeding Dairy Cows. Prof. E. W. Clark of the Agricultural College, at Logan, Utah, at the State Dairy Convention presented a most ex- cellent paper, of which the following is a Bumtnary. In feeding cows, man i9 the moat important factor, and he, as well as the cow, should be of a dairy tendency, i Failure is more often due to the man than to the cow. He should be kind, j generous, intelligent, persevering and . always a student, and keep abreast of the times, ae much as the lawyer or doctor. If the greatest results are to be obtained, he must treat his occupation as a pro- fession. The cow ia a very economical producer of the best kind of human food. One pound of dry matter in the milk is pro- duced from eight pounds of dry mat- ter in the food, while one pound of food in pork, mutton and beef is produced from 9, 21 and 27 pounds, respectively, of dry matter in the food. The cow is also a consumer of cheap food, and therefore economical. As to food, no other article can take the place of milk in man's diet. Two quarts of milk contain as much nutriment as a pound of sirloin steak. Many solid foods are digested better when consumed with milk, and as a diet for the sick, milk is unsu.-passed. The people of the United States, unfortunately, consume less than one-half pint of milk ^er person per day. The cow should be fed according to her needs ; hence we need to understand the composition of her body, of the milK and of the food. A cow, to do her beBt, must have tood from wnich milk is made; food containing considerable protein or nitro- gen. To tnis claBB belong lucern, clover, bran, wneat, oatB, peas, beaiiB.eic. Lucern is rich in milk-iorming material, and because of this, and its cneapneas, it is tne best single tood we nave for dairy cows. Bran is very much ut tne same composition, and lor tnat and other reasons, cows which are being fed lucern, should not have more than 1} or 8 pouudB of bran a day. In order to get from cheap forage the amount of nutriment that a cow is capable of mauniacturing into unlK, she should be well developed— that is, should have a large abuomen. if development is lacking, food in concentrated form must be given in order to keep up the milk now. A light milking cow, capable ot consuming a large quantity ol lucern, will do fairly well without grain, but the heavy milker muBt have it. There are Warranted to Give Satisfaction.

Regularity in caring for the cow should be the practice. The best reBults will be obtained by feeding, watering and milk- ing at regular hours. Anything that causes a nervous disturbance of the cow will reduce the milk How. The cow should receive all the food Bhe will clean up, twice a day, and no more. Any food left from a meal should be taken away and replaced with freBh food. After animals have breathed over their food, it becomeB stale, and to force them to eat it will reduce the milk flow. The feeder must be watchful,-lor no two animals can be fed exactly tne same. He should study each individual cow, and Bee how the amount and character of food affects them and leed them accordingly. tfree access to good water is important. Water unfit for human consumption is unfit for cows. Water from the well ie much better than cold water in winter time. Tne cow's training should begin early in life, tshe should receive the best ol care until she has produced tier third calf. If she is well developed she should commence milking at two years old, rather than at three. The amount of rest a cow should have depends upon the age of the cow and her development. With two year-old heilers there should be 15 to 2U months between the first and second calf, with eight to twelve weeks just before calving. Older cows should freshen every twelve months, and should have eigh weeks rest previous to becoming fresh Too long a reBt produces a tendency to lay on fat, which inj urea breeding qualities. It is well to improve the quality of our cows, Out we should first make the most of what we have. We can improve a great deal, at a very small cost, by breed- ing our best cows of high type to good sires. The first, laht and most important thing is good care. Make it a specialty to note and breed only from the very finest specimens and greatest egg producers. Now, don't for- get this ! You had better have this painted in large letters over the hen house door if there is any danger ycu are going to forget it. "Like will produce like," but you understand it is nature to breed back sometime?, and the better your foundation stock that has been bred in line, the better will this old saying hold true. Do not breed or keep on the place a bird that is disqualified by the standard. Lookout for wry tails, de- formed beaks, crooked backs and breast bones and other defects. I often run on to disqualified birds in the show room. This proves that breeders are not very well posted or very careless about select- ing exhibition birds. American Trolili Reeister PUBLICATIONS.

Corn meal, bran, cut hay and molasseB may be sately counted on to lateen mm horses more quickly than any ocner com- bination, but a teed ol dry grain should be given at least once every iwo days lor the sake of variety. CracKed corn with some times a leed of oats, if possible, will prove the best lor this. Ot course, they must not be given more than they will clean up, for then they will get stalled, and it will take some time to get them back to full speed again, and it is here that the eye of the master muBt govern. A ration of two pounds of molasses, four pounds of cracked corn and two quartB of bran, with plenty of cut hay, will be found a great flesh-former. The molaSBes is reduced with water, poured over the cut hay, and then the ground grain is mixed all through the mass. This makes a heavy ration, and bo is the same amount of barley meal fed in precisely the same way, but it will do the work. A feed of the grain, as described, in the morning, one of the boiled barley at night, and a ration of dry ground barley at noon would make an ideal combination for the purpose named. If oatmeal is to be had at anythiog like a moderate price a little of it may be used, but if it is high it should not be purchased. The corn and the boiled barley may be mixed in equal proportions if desired and fed with the bran and molasses and cut hay. As stated, variety is always good. Caution is advised in starting horses on full feed. It is better to err on the side of losing a few pounds by going a little Blow at first than it is to get into trouble by trying to force the animals too quickly on to tne heavy ration. As a rule to go by, it is well to feed per day one pound of Address at grain for every hundred pounds of live COMMERCIAL PRINTING HOUSE weight in the horse. They should have more than this as a general rule when at the height of the feeding period, but each horse should have his ration dealt out to him separately according to his capacity. After a horse is thriving on this amount of grain satisfactorily he should have more if he asks for it, but the danger line is usually not far ahead when that point is rer.ched. But as no real rule of thumb r ai ( per yet been formulated that would '■i\t all cases, the feeder must accept 13 a basiB and then work it and BROOD MARES FOR SALE.

IF YOU ABE, BEAD THIS: We wish to call the attention of those interested in Draft Horses that we are fully determined to close out our Stallions in the next four weeks. In color they are mostly blacks— a few dark greys. One of them a five-year old. Weight 2100 pounds. One of the finest we imported has a fine, small head and throat latch, very short in the back with a draft middle; is clean in the limbs and has been very much admired by all who have seen him. We have two other dark greys that are very much admired on account of quality and size. In our collection of thirty head of Stallions the first sales were greys. We have one dark bay with black points, no white; coming four years old, weight 2050 pounds. We will guarantee him to weigh at maturity 2400 pounds. He is much admired for his fine head and throat latch and short back. His limbs are first-class and in proportion to his body. These Stallions are not like some other breeds that we have with the thickest part of the neck at the top end. They have size, quality and enduranoe. We have quite a number of black stallions, four and five years old, weighing from 1900 to 2000 pounds Their good qualities are too numerous to men- tion. They are as "fine as peaohes," with fine head and throat latch and very clean limbed. We never had a barn of as good Stallions at any place as we have at present in San Jose. These Stal- lions are ready any day for service. People say that there is at present thn brightest prospeot for good crops in this country that has been for years. Wny will not the farmer improve his horse stock and also the prosperity of the com- munity in which he lives? We now have twenty head of good Stallions to select from. C. F. Singmaster, the senior member of the firm, has been in San Jose for the past five weeks and is proud to say we have had extremely good success in making sales. Have met with only two fail- ures in making sales, and that was sometime ago when people were a little afraid of drouth. We expeot the parties to come back now any day, as we have had fine rains and prospects for the farmer and stock raiser never were better. Intending purchasers will do well to come soon and see our stock of horses, and we are very sure they will go home with a good Stallion. Where they pay cash we make a liberal discount. In our next shipment will be some good registered draft mares. O- O.

Venus, the dam of Sidney Dillon, was the dam of Cupid 2:18. who produced weil; Lady Bunker, the dam of Guy Wilkes, was the dam of Wm L., sire of Aste], and El Mahdi 2:25^ and Declaration, who were each tne sire of several good ones; Dolly. the dam of Director, was the dam of Onward 2:25H and Thorndale 2:22, both of which were great sires. The above sires, the sire of this colt and the sires of the first, second, third and fourth dams, have each produced one or more world record ho'ders. They have also produced many others who were the gamest, the most levelheaded and the largest money winners in the trotting world. The first four trace in the male line to Hambletonian 10 through anoestors which, in each and every genera- tion, have been the best producers of their day and have been better producers than their sires or grandsires. In DILLCARA'S pedi- gree there are six crosses of Hambletonian 10, each of which goes to him through only the best produoing lines, and five crosses of Mam- brino Chief, each of which goes to him through dams that have been extraordinary producers. Individually, this young stallion. DILLCARA. is as good as h*s pedigree. He is of the stout, blocky type, without coarseness, and he is a superb model of his type. He has excellent trotting action and a great degree "f natural speed He has never yet been in the hands of a trainer, his owner preferring for stock purposes a sire that has never been raced and has enjoyed freedom from the nervous and physical strain of severe drilling and racing, expecting that as a consequence the produce will be more valuable. Mated with well-bred mares by McKinney. Director. Direct and Nutwood DILLCARA'S produce should be as valuable as could be obtained for racing and breeding purposes. DILLCARA will make the Season of 1905 at some place near San Francisco, not yet decided upon. Limited to well-bred mares. SERVICE FEE S40.

Are You Interested in Draft Horses? IF YOU ARE, READ THIS: We wish to call the attention of those Interested in Draft Horses that we are fully determined to close out our Stallions in the next four weeks. In color they are mostly blacks— a few dark greys. One of them a five-year old. Weight 2100 pounds. One of the finest wt imported has a fine, small head and throat latch, very short in the back with a draft middle; is clean In the limbs and has been very much admired by all who have seen him. We have two other dark greys that are very much admired on account of quality and size. In our collection of thirty head of Stallions the first sales were greys. We have one dark bay with black points, no white; coming four years old, weight 2050 pounds. We will guarantee him to weigh at maturity 2400 psunds. He Is muoh admired for his fine head and throat latch and short back. His limbs are first-class and in proportion to his body. These Stallions are not like some other breeds that we have with the thickest part of the neck at the top end. They have size, quality and endurance. We have quite a number of black stallions, four and five years old, weighing from 1900 to 2000 pounds Their good qualities are too numerous to men- tion. They are as "fine as peaohes," with fine head and throat latch and very clean limbed. We never had a barn of as good Stallions at any place as we have at present in San Jose. These Stal- lions are ready any day for service. People say that there is at present thi brightest prospeot for good orops in this country that has been for years. Wny will not the farmer improve his horse stock and also the prosperity of the com- muni ty in which he lives? We now have twenty head of good Stallions to select from. C. F. Slngmastor, the senior member of the firm, has been in San Jose for the past five weeks and Is proud to say we have had extremely good success In making sales. Have met with only two fail- ures in making sales, and that was sometime ago when people were a little afraid of drouth. We expect the parties to come back now any day, as we have had fine rains and prospects for the farmer and stock raiser never were better. Intending purchasers will do well to come soon and see our stock of horses, and we are very sure they will go home with a good Stallion. Where they pay cash we mako a liberal disoount. In our next shipment will be some good registered draft mares. MANAGER FOR SlNGMASTER & SONS' SAN JOSE BRANCH 127 St. John Street, San Jose, Cal.

ECUADOR Henry Wheatley, Napa GREEN'S RUFUS The Bay wood Stud, San Mateo 'THE DATE IS POSTPONED for the closing of entries to the meeting of the Pacific Coast Trot- ting Horse Breeders Association, and Monday, May 1st is the date now set. The association's Directors had set the date for April 3d, which is one month later than the date of closing last year, but the horsemen who have been unable to work their trotters and pacer3 much during the unusually wet winter Cali- fornia has experienced this season were hardly ready to pick the classes in which to start, consequently a petition was circulated at all the principal training tracks and largely signed asking for a postponement. This petition reached Secretary Kelley on Thursday of this week, only four days before the date of closing originally fixed and advertised, but he immediately got into communication with the Directors and they, ever ready to do anything in reason to please the horse owners and trainers, granted the petition and set the date of closing for Monday, May 1st. Before that date arrives it is believed that three or four other meetings will be arranged and programs announced and tbe California Circuit will have a definite shape. The number of horse3 in training in California is very large at the present time, but more than half of them are getting their first lessons, and trainers will not be able to tell before the first of May whether they will be fast enough to race or not. If six or eight meetings can be arranged the probability is that Secretaries will receive the largest list of entries in years, and large fields will rule in every event. Los Angeles, the State Fair and the Breeders meeting are the only ones announced thus far, but if the other LOS ANGELES DRIVING CLUB MEMBERS are displaying the proper spirit of enthusiasm and will give Saturday afternoon matinees more fre- quently in the future. Secretary Redpath arranged a card of eight races last Saturday to accommodate all those who desired to start their horses, but even then many were left out and the program was too long to finish before dark. Heretofore Thanksgiving day has opened the matinee season and programs have been arranged for every holiday until May 30th, when the season has closed, but this year matinees will be held all through the summer months except during the time the regular circuit is going on. When the new three quarter mile track is finished in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco will have a Driving Club organized on the same lines as the Los Angeles club and the leading amateur clubs of the East, and fre- quent matinees will be held. Friendly contests be- tween the clubs will also be arranged, the San Fran- cisco amateurs visiting Los Angeles, and the gentle- men from the South returning the visit. There is no cleaner, grander or more health-giving sport than road driving and matinee racing where the glory of winning is the only reward. San Francisco's new speedway will be finished before this year is closed and will be the finest track of the kind in the world. THERE WILL BE RACING at the California State Fair this year, and good racing at that, better racing probably than was given last year although there will be but seven days of it instead of twelve. The Sacramento Union says the new mile track has been laid out by County Surveyor Boyd, or at least some of the corner stakes have beien set, and it is expected that plowing will be begun soon, as work on the race track is the first thing that can be conveniently started. Architect A. M. Allen, who is to have charge of the construction of the buildings at the new Agricultural Park, left for Chicago Thurs- day. He will inspect the State Fair grounds of Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, Kentucky and other states for the purpose of obtaining the latest data in regard to appropriate structures It will take Mr. Allen nearly a month to make the inspection. After that plans will be drawn, and then twenty days will be required for advertising for bids, so that it will be about two months before much can be done at new Agricultural Park. After that, however, it is expected that things will begin to hum, as it will be necessary to bend every energy to the utmost in order to get ready for the fair in September. Live Stock at Lewis & Clark Exposition. PORTLAND. Or., March 24, 1905. Breeder and Sportsman:— Will you please mention in your paper that the dates of tbe Live Stock Show to be held at the Lewis & Clark Centen- nial Exposition, Portland, Oregon, are: Horses August 28th to September 8th. Eotries close August 1st. Cattle, sheep, swine and goa's Sept. 19th to 29th. Entries close August 15th. We are offering cash prizes on all classes of regis- tered stock, and a one way freight rate haB been arranged for all railroads. The premium list will be off the press in a few days, and will be mailed to all applicants. While we regret to chronicle the fact that we are not to have a State fair this year, where California horsemen have in the past few years been competing for our rich stakes and purses, we are to have a great big horse show held in connection with the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition, which is open to the world. The prospects are very promising' for a large display of fine horses. The draft and coach horse breeders are making special efforts in this direction, and what would be more fitting for a State that has a national, yeB, a world's reputation for breeding the very highest clasB of standard bred trotters, and has the proud distinction of producing the fastest trotter in the world, to send up a representative exhibit of standard bred trotters to thiB fair. While the East- ern breeders are preparing to 6end out in large num- bers the draft and coach horse, the making of an ex- hibit in the standard bred classes will be left entirely to the Pacific Coast breeders. I understand the California legislature made a liberal appropriation to exhibit their State's products at this fair, and why not use part of this fund in send- ing up not only your horses, but live stock of all kinds. Oregon did this last year at St. Louib and won honors of more value to the State in her live stock stock department than any other department there, and with but little expense. I make these early suggestions that your live stock breeders may take advantage of what seems to me a golden oppor- tunity to advertise one of their State's greatest re- sources. Yours very truly, M. D. Wisdom, Superintendent Live Stock Department. Conditions at Detroit Not the Same as Buffalo. COL J. C. KIRKPATRICK of this city is carry- ing a vei y handsome 0 pen face gold timing watch that was presented to him last Thursday by his friends on the water front, the occasion being his retirement from the State Harbor Commission, of which he has been a member for several years. The Colonel was also presented with an elegant whip made from one piece of whale bone studded with ivory the handle being ivory and gold. The presentation speech was made by Commissioner Spear and the occasion was a pleasant one all around. While Col. Kirk patrick is one of Sau Francisco's leading and busiest business men, managing the city 's largest hotel and also the immense Sharon estate as well as being a director in a dozen other private and public enterprises, his friends on the water front well knew that his chief pleasure and recreation is the driving and timing of his horseB bo the parting gifts were selected accordingly, and thoy are very highly prized by the recipient. THE THREE HEAT PLAN is being pretty gener. ally adopted by the Grand Circuit associations that have so far announced programs, and the result will be watched with interest by all concerned. When the heats are below 2:15, three heats are enough, but on the tracks where the majority of races are in time Blower than that and very largo fields compete, we believe the three in five plan will draw more entries, although the rule which sends horses to the stable that are not in the money at the end of three heats is an excellent one and improves the contests, as is also the case when the conditions require the race to end after five heats There is a certain fascination how- ever about a long draw out contest that is not to be denied. Let a group of horsemen be talkingover past races and it is in the split heat ones that are best remembered and arouse the greatest enthusiasm. Sixteen trotters were recently shipped from New York City by EmilJacobseD to Morgenstere& Ruzicka, Vienna, Austria, the horses being figured of class enough to have a marked influence on the racing in Austria this coming summer. Included were several colts and fillies by Medio, a stallion that has been shown at the National Horse Show with much success both as an individualand sire. Secretary Walter J. Snyder of The Detroit Driving Club wishes to impress upon horsemen that the con- ditions governing the $10,000 M. and M. and $5000 C. of C at Detroit are positively not the Buffalo plan as has been published in many journals While they are on the three heat plan, still the conditions are far different. Especially is this true in charging the h% from money winners. At Buffalo a horse is charged $400, h% of the $8000, every time he finishes in the money in the $10,000 event, while at Detroit he pays $125, h% of the actual amount raced for, $2500 in each heat. The same proportion is in the $5000 events. The winner of a heat at Buffalo receives $1200, but in addition to having paid $500 to start in the race he is taxed $400 additional, thus leaving him $300 net, while at Detroit a winner of any heat receives $1300 and is charged $125 additional. Add to this the cost of starting in the race — $500 — and it leaves a net profit of $675 against Buffalo $300. Remember this illustration is of one heat only the same horse can go on and win the other two heats. Take tbe horse finishing third in any heat at Buffalo, he receives $480, of this he is charged that $400. At Detroit he receives $5(0 and is only charged $125. It is for such reasons as given above that Secretary Snyder doea not wish horsemen to confuse Detroit with the Buffalo plan. A Universal Stable Remedy. If It could be left to a vote of the horse owners over this country to determine what the most valuable stable remedy Is, theone that is aviilabieto tr>e remedy continuously for as m»ny as thirty years It w. uld include peop.ewno have begun to use it every year since Us original com- pounding by Dr B J. Kendall, tneemiuent veterinarian, una have continued its use ever since Tbe simpte tru h is that no remt dy has ever been found to take the place of Kendall's Spavin Cure, We believe we would be borne out in the statement by the gener- ality of horse owners aod veterinarians. It is their rtmedy for spavins, ringbones, cubi, splints, wounds, in fact all the most common ailments of the horse What other remeay has been so widely used, or has continued for ^o many years:1 What other remedy for the horse can be found wherever there is a drug store? People have learned to know by u-ing it and thedemand exists everywhere. Of course it i* generously adveri 1 ed; an ad is to be found now in our columns; but no claim is made Tor it that is not borne out bv those "who always keep it onhaDd. It is a remedy which our readers will do well to keep n the.r drug store or write to the Dr. B J. Kendall Co . Enosburg Falls. Vt . and proour* a copy of the little book.

Those Southern Californians are all right. Recognizing the fact that the day of the old district fair has passed in this State and that if those interested in harness horse matters want to see any good harness racing they must do something themselves, the Los Angelenos have jumped into the ead and are arranging a program that will cause every horse owner and traiDer in the State to begin 'boosting" for the orange belt, and in fact they are already at it. My friend Geo. Beckers, owner of Zombro 2:11, writes me that the Los Angeles Harness Horse Association has already banked $15,000 sub. scribed by the members, which is certainly an earnest of their good faith and enterprise. The fourteen $1000 purses, which will probably be announced next week, will give all classes of trotters and pacers a chance, and the two and three-year-olds will also be provided for, with $500 and $600 purses. The associa- tion has some of the wealthiest citizens in Los Angeles on its list of members and proposes to give two meet- ings each year, one to open and another to close the circuit. It will be strictly a harness meeting, no running horses or bookmakers to be permitted to put up their slates. Auction pools and mutuals will be the only means of bettior; and everything is to be run as strictly to rule as possible. The directors say they will have square racing or none. All that harness racing needs in any locality in this State where there is a good track, is for a few enterprising horsemen to organize and announce a meeting. There are hun- dreds of horses in training whose owners would rather race at home than to ship to any Eastern circuit ex- cept the Grand Circuit, and, of course, that will always get the fastest and best, as it should, as the big money is there, and I hope California will always be represented there by a goodly number of high class competitors for the different purses and stakes. But there can be plenty of racing here at home also, and there will be if the Los Angeles enter- prise germ can only be distributed through this part of the State and a few of our leading horsemen inocu- lated with it. I hope the trains from central and northern California which will take trotters and pacers to the Los Angeles meeting in July will carry enough horse* to crowd all the stalls at Agricultural Park and cause the Los Angeles trainers to double up in order to accommodate the strangers. They'll do it, too, in a gracious manner, and will ask the boys to come again and bring more horses. The Los Angeles horsemen are royal entertainers, the latch strings on their doors are always out and they are boostirg the trotting game for its own sake. So, let's all resolve to be in Los Angeles on July 3d, this year. The State Fair will be held this year and the prob- abilities are that it will be bigger and better and attract a larger crowd than any fair held in years. Out of the debris of a bad failure this State institu- tion, which has accomplished much in the past for the good of California, has, by the aid of the Legisla- ture and the efforts of its friends, been given assist- ance from the State Treasury that will enable it to once more occupy the high and honored place it was originally Intended to fill. The Board of Directors is now trying to right the wrongs of the past, and should receive the aid and support of every cit'zen of California so long as they continue to do this. The first step they have taken is to proclaim a seven-day fair for this year instead of the tiresome, money los- ing twelve days that has been the custom for several years past The fair of 1905 will open on Saturday, September 2d, and close Saturday, September 9th. The Bpeed committee has already been instructed to prepare a good harness program and publish it at an early date. Mr. A. VI. Allen, the leading archi- tect of tracks and fair buildings in America, has been engaged to draw up plans for the new buildings and tracks, and has already left for the East, where he will inspect the State Fair grounds of Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri and Ohio, where some of the best fairs of America are annually held. He will be gone three or four weeks, and will return in time to begin work and finish much of it in time for the fair this year. A fine mile track is to be constructed, build- ings for the housiog of live stock erected and a tem- porary grandstand put up. It is the expressed ob- ject of the directors to hold a fair this year on mod- ern lines, and as free from the objectionable features of former years as possible. The iaaocial statement of the association disclosed the fact that '-it has $25,0l' for ner buildings on the recently acquired ground 8 east of Sacramento, $30,000 allowed by the genera' appropriation bill for premiums," $6000 allowed for printing, $45,000 in the State Treasury, available when the claims of the Board are allowed by the State Board of Examiners on the filing of the deed of the Society to the State transferring its property to the latter; $25,000 allowed on payment of debts of the Society; $29,500 surplus from the sale of old Agricul- tural Park, all of which, with cash on hand for cur- rent expenses, gives a total of $161,500. Against this there are liabilities amounting to $65,000. Thus the Society is solvent in the sum of $96,500, and to this is to be added the asset in the form of the new park ac- quired, $22,000." On these sums and its income from the next two expositions the Society must live for two years. The very first thing the directors should and probably will do is to order the payment of every indebtedness to horsemen and others who have a legal claim against the association If they want a big entry list to their purses this year they should settle all these claims before entries close. If this is done, every horseman in California will be ready to take his coat off and work for the success of the State Fair of 1905. Now ihat the State Fair has set its dates for Sept. 2d to 9th inclusive, and the Los Angeles Harness Horse Association proposes to open the circuit with a six days meeting from July 3d to 8th, the intervening weeks should be arranged and meetings announced by the associations that will comprise the remainder of the California Circuit. There are just eight weeks between the closing of the Los Angeles meeting and the opening of the State Fair. Here then is a chance for a circuit of ten meetings, which would be the best Califoi nia has seen In many a day. TheBe eight inter- vening weeks could be taken by Santa Ana, Fresno, Plesanton, San Jose, Petaluma. Santa Rosa, Vallejo and Woodland. After the State Fair the horsemen could take in such small meetings as took their fancy and come together again at the big November meetiDg at Los Angeles, which will be the closing one of the year. Is there not one enterprising horseman at each of the cities named who will take the lead in an effort to have a good harness meeting in his town this year, and make it a member of the California Circuit? The Breeders Association will hold its annual meeting at one of the places named and may give two or three more meetings if the local people do not care to take tbe matter in hand. Fresno, San Jose, Petaluma, Santa Rose and Woodland have been suggested as places where the Breeders could hold successful meetings. One of the amusing things of the many which the daily papers dish up every oncein a while is the attack now being made on the pool rooms thatinfe&t thiscity in such numbers at the present time. All the big dailies are unanimous in charging that these pool rooms are debauching the youth of San Francisco, and that they should be suppressed. They are perfectly rigbt in the matter, beyond the shadow of doubt, but how about the "dope sheets" of the races, better known as "form charts," which all these dailies print with such care and in such a conspicuous manner every day. If there is any one thing that is the cause of the pool rooms and the gambling craze on running horses it is the form charts. Omit them from the daily papers and there would not be one-quarter the number of youthful or other players on tbe raceB. Not content with printing these charts, every paper prints a list of probable winners, prepared by the journals speci- ally engaged "experts," and In addition has the selections of the expertB of the leadiDg New York papers telegraphed them daily, 60 that the public can be supplied with the very latest "dope" on the horses running. It is amusing to read the editorials on the evils of horse racing and then find in the following pages Beveral columns written and printed for no other purpose than to induce people to bet. There is no sport that can get tbe free advertising which the dailies give to prize fighting and running races. Let a couple of pugs be matched for a brawl, and for weeks the columns of the leading dailits are filled with all sorts of the veriest rot written solely to induce people to bet on the result and to help Bwell the receipts at the door on the night of the "event," and when a great running stake comes off, the bookmaker who wote the biggest sheet on it is given a column of write up while the person who bred the winner is not mentioned at all or dismissed with a line. The fact is that the sporting columns of the majority of the big dailies are gotten up more in the interests of betting than for anything else, and the fuss they make about pool rooms is about the most inconsistant of the many inconsistent things they are always doing. the case, and puts a reasonable doubt in the mind of everyifair man that reads it. Mr. Gamble's article is one of the best he has ever written and is fair to every- one. He makes no accusations, but gives Mr. Taylor full credit for believiDg just what he wrote to the Horse Btvitw. But Mr. Gamble suggests, very perti- nently, that as the late banker James C. Flood bought two chestnut mares that were brought to California fromiWisconsin, one of which was by Flying Cloud and the other by Blue Bull, that Mr. Taylor may have got the two bankers, Ralston and Flood, confounded. I have known Mr. Gamble quite a long time, and 1 know his memory as regards horses is as good as any person in California, and I also know that he is a seeker after the exact truth in pedigrees, and is one of those who folio vs it where it lead6, never trying to drive it into a path it does net desire to take. As he was in Mr. Hickok's employ frcm 3868 to 1873 it is more than likely that he would have known of Mr. Maxwell bringing two mares out here and selling them through Hickok to Mr. RalBton. Mr. Gamble 6ays that he remembers a chestnut mare by Geo. M. Patchen, Jr., dam by John Nelson that Mr. Kimball owned, and while all trace of her is lost after Kimball owned her he believes she is the grandam of Lou Dillon. I hope that out of all these investigations as to Lou Milton's breeding something will come that will enable her pedigree to be established beyond a doubt. The fact is that A. McFadyen, who owned Lou Milton and bred the stallion Redwood 2:21$ and Ethel Mack 2:25 from her, tried to trace her pedigree in 1890 and at different times afterwards, but could not do it, and I doubt very much if any evidence is ever obtained that will be more than hearsay or s t b. No Betting at State Fair. The law appropriating $60,000 for the erection of buildings on the grounds of the California State Agri- cultural Society at Sacramento contains the following section: Section 6. The Board of Directors, officers and employes of the California State Agricultural Society are hereby prohibited from permitting any person or persons, or any corporation, within the grounds or premises owned by or under the control of the said California State Agricultural Society, to sell, or offer for sale, buy or offer to buy, Issue, or offer to isBue, or in any manner di-pose of, purchase, or acquire any in- terest in any pool, or in any pool ticket, ceitificate, writing, or other evidence of payment, acceptance or deposit of money, or other thing of value, staked upon the result of any running, pacing or trotting race or contest between horses, mares or geldings, or to make any bet or hazard on the result of such race or con- test, or to act as a stakeholder of any bet or hazard laid on the result of any such race or conteBt, or to receive or pay over any money or article or thing of value, the ownership or right to possession of which has been, is, or is to be determined by any Buch race or contest, or to permit any gambling or gaming pro- hibited by section 330 of the Penal Code of the State of California.

Well, the expected has happened. Just as the Rorse Review settled down to a conviction that it had by the aid of so > e of its correspondents established the breeding of Lou Milton, dam of the great Lou Dillon, along comes the American Horse Breeder with a letter from Sam Gamble, which throws new light on The Japs have a certain amount of sentiment in their make up for which they are entitled to credit. Advices were recently received here of a monster funeral service held at MiyagiTempltfor the Japanese horses killed dur.ng the war. In the presence of the Governor and other officials the priests gave a posthu- mous name to the victims, and posts were erected to mark the supposed burial places of the dead horses. Offerings consisting of wheat and beans were placed on a large altar, and a number of priests read praj ers. The obsequies were the same as those of soldiers. The President of the Miyagi encampment of military horses delivered a memorial address for the horses. April 1, 1905] ©Jte gtveebev citib gtpovt&xnan Blood that Produced Champions. Practical horsemen and students of blood lines like producing blood in a stallion, and when they can find that which has produced champions united In one stallion, it naturally induces them to patronize that horse Monroe Salisbury and Chas. De Ryder, the first named the breeder and manager of more champion trotters and pacers than any other person, and the latter without any doubt one of America's leading trainers and drivers, have both booked mares to the handsome black colt Greco, owned by Mr. H. Brace of Eureka and trained by William R. Johnson at Pleasanton. Greco is comparatively an unknown colt, but when Messrs. Salisbury and De Ryder saw him in training at Pleasanton and learned his breeding they lost no time in booking a few well bred mares to him as they consider him one of the most promising young trotters as well as one of the best bred stallions in California. Greco is a sod of the great McKinney 2:11}, the greatest sire in America. The dam of Greco is Aileen 2:26J by Anteeo 2:16}, a producing son of the great Electioneer and sire of the dam of Directum Kelly 2:085 and many others in the 2:10 list. Elec- tioneer is the grandsire of Major Delmar, the champion trotting gelding of the world. The grandam ol Greco is that great broodmare Lou Milton, dam of Lou Dillon 1:58 J, champion of all trotters, and three others in the list Lou Milton is by Milton Medium, a pro- ducing son of Happy Medium.'sire of Nancy Hanks 2:04, a champion in her day. Few horses are as closely related to the champion trotters as Greco, and as he is a fine individual, an intelligent brainy horse, and a fast trotter, he will sire speed to a certainty. He was trained a little last year and started in one race at Eureka, which he won easily and took a record of 2:32. He could have trotted very much faster but it was not considered desirable to mark him any lower 80 long as it was not necessary. This winter he was brought to PleasantOD by William R. Johnson, trainer for his owner Mr Brace of Humboldt county, and has been worked some. He has trotted miles in 2:20 very handily and could doubt- less trot a mile in 2:15 at the present time. He is a horse of good proportions, smooth turned and with lots of style and very much like the MeKinneye. A stallion by the champion of all sires and wbo-e grandam is the dam of Lou Dillon, represents about as choice breeding as can be found on the Coast or in any other section of the country. At $50 the season, his book which will be limited, should fill very soon. Write to Mr. Johnson at Pleasanton for any further particulars in regard to Greco. . * Oakwood Park Farm Sale. Despite a very heavy rain storm a good sized crowd was in attendance Tuesday evening during the sale Of Oakwood Park Farm horses at the sale barn of Fred H. Chase & Co. About thirty head were sold and the prices were very fair considering that the animals offered were mostly two and three-year-olds and with- out aoy particular claim tospeed or equality. Bidding was always active on anything that had size or style and it demonstrated beyond a doubt that good horses will bring good prices in a sale of this kind. One of the best things in the catalogue, a three-year-old brown gelding by Chas. Derby that had shown quarters in 36 seconds was not sold owing to an injury received during the afternoon. Auctioneer WarreD Hord did the selling The average for the 30 head was close to $165. Following is list of the sales:— Nakarch b m (3) by Geo. W. Archer-Nakoora by Charles Derby. P H.

The Los Angeles lovers of harness horses were at Agricultural Park in force on Saturday last where a program of eight races had been provided by mem bers of the Driving Club. The program was a little too long, but the crowd remained until the last race (unfinished) and thoroughly enjoyed the sport. Mr. W A Clark Jr. won three of the events on the card with his horses. Briney K and Ole met in the race for the M. A. Hamburger cup, and the former Santa Rosa horse took the untraced trotter into camp. In the pace for the Mrs. C. A. Caufield cup, Welcome Mack again defeated Stanton Wilkes and Toughnut. The Club cup was won by the Zombro filly Zombretta, owned by Mr. L. T. Christopher, treasurer of the new Los Angeles Harness Horse Association, that is to open the California circuit in July. There is more interest in harness horse matters in Los Angeles than ever before, and the Driving Club which has been bo well managed since its organization a few years ago, is the cause of it.

The reputation of McKinney's son Zombro 2:11 Is growing at a great rate. He was the greatest thrie- year-old trotter California ever saw, and is now the greatest son of McKinney as a sire. His list of standard performers now numbers seven — all trotters, and there will be frequent additions to it from now on as speed is shown by everyone that is worked. Geo Beckers, of Los Angeles, his breeder and owner, has three that can trot in 2:15 right now. One of them Is Helen Dare, that worked a mile in 2:16} last last year, driven and trained by a Spanish boy that had never sat behind a trotter before. Mr. Beckers raised this filly and sold her for two hundred dollars about a year ago. He bought her back March 11th for athousand, and was offered fifteen hundred dollars for her ten days afterwards. He expects she will trot in 2:12 or better this year if she has no mishaps. Sam Wash- ington, the Los Angeles colored trainer who was the first to show the public that Sweet Marie 2:04if was worth training, has a green Zombro gelding that trotted a mile in 2:18J last summer and expectB to mark him in 2:15 this year. Will Durfee has a pac- ing filly by Zombro that is called Bessie Barnes. She is out of a mire by Truman 2:12 and with but six weeks training has paced a mile in 2:19$ wilh the last half in 1:04J and the last quarter in 31£ seconds. I.C. Mosher is training a three-year-old Zombro filly that has paced in 2:18} with the last half In 1:08$, and he also has a three-year-old stud colt by him that trotted a mile in 2:25, last half in 1:11},. Mr. Christo- pher, the treasurer of the new Harness Horse Associa- tion, won the cup race at Los Angeles last Saturday with Zombretta, a green filly that recently pulled a cart a half mile in 1:05}. Will Durfee is training Bellemont 2:20$ by Zombro, the fastest two-year-old trotting filly of 1904; she is doing nicely and is fast as a bullet. Horsemen in Los Angeles predict 2:12 with- in her reach this year as a three-year-old Dr. Hazlett of San Bernardino drove a five-year-old mare by Zombro a mile in 2:20$ last week and they say she can go 2:15 right now. She is out of a mare by Pope Leo 2:20. The Doctor will sell ber as he does not care to race any horses, and here is a snap for someone. There are two Zombros in P. W. Hodges' striDg at Pleasanton that will be ready for a place in the 2:15 list this year and it surely looks as if Zombro will make a big showing with his produce in that list in 1905 The fact that Zombro will not be taken to Oregon this year, but make the entire season at Los Angeles, furnishes an opportunity to breeders that they should not fail to take advantage of. Searching tor Mexico's Striped Horses. A dispatch from Chihuahua, Mex'co, dated March 26th, says: 'Professor H. Cassar Ewart, a noted educator and naturalist of Edinburgh, Scotland, has arrived here on his way to a remote and unexplored region of the Sierra Madres, in the extreme south- western part of this State. He is arcompanied by several other scientists, and the object of their ex- pedition is to investigate the oft heard report that there is a large drove of wild horses of most peculiar appearance in that part of Mexico. These animals are said to be striped and bear a close resemblance to the zebra. They are said to make their borne in a rich valley which is almost completely shut in by the towering cliffs of the mountains. It is the theory of Professor Ewart that all horses were one time striped and that their present colorings and absence of stripes are due to intermixing the breed. He has been studying the question for several years and recently finished an exhaustive research in- to the prehistoric remains of horses on the islands of Porto Rico and Jamaica." The account of the existence of a large drove of striped horses in the Sierra Madres seems to be authentic. Long before white men had penetrated the almOBt inaccessible region Indians who lived Id the mountains told of having seen thi6 drove of horses. About fifteen years ago an American mining prospector named Hampton Bradley, who formerly lived at Parral, where he owoed and operated the Marco mine, made a trip into the mountains. He was gone for about three months and upon his return he told of having visited the valley where he saw this drove of horses. He said that there were several thousand of the animals and that their feeding ground embraced many thousand acres of rich, level land, with a smill stream of water running through it." The probability is that Prof Ewart will find that the striped horse story bears a close relationship to the venerable but venerated one of the three black crowe. Audubon Boy 2:03} and Ecstatic 2:05} have been matched to race for $5000, and the race will come off the Readville Grand Circuit meeting. , by Cassius M.Clay Jr. The big trotter R. W. P. by Lynwood W. that started a few times last season but failed to get a mark is working nicely in John Quinn's hands at Pleasanton ao^ should get some of the money in the slow classes this year. He was close up in 2:12$ last year, and trotted miles in 2:14. There are thirty-eight three-year-olds eligible to the OceideDt Stake this year, and fifty-three eligible6 to the Stanford Stake. These stakes should furnish a couple of good contests and fittingly inaugurate the new track that will be constructed soon on the new State Fair grouuds at Sacramento. The picture on our title page this week is of the filly Zombelle by Zombro. She was recently pur- chased from J. C. Woodrow, of Vancouver, by Mr. C. A. Harrison, formerly of Los Angeles, but now pro- prietor o the Hotel Driard at Victoria, B. C. Zom- belle is one of the great trotting prospects of 1905. A finely bred four-year-old 'filly that stands sixteen hands and shows lots of speed is for sale. She is a well bred one being by a son of Director and out of a daughter of Silver Bow, second dam by Steinway and third dam by Sidney. A very reasonable price is asked for her. She cac be seen at the Zibbell stables, back of the Chutes. W. A. Williams, the Kansas City wholesale grocer, who purchased Highwood 2:211 and several brood mares at the recent Chicago Horse Sale Company's sale, has purchased a 280-acre farm seven miles south of Kansas City, on the Bickman Mills road, for $70,000 and will at once establish on the property a great breeding plant where only trotting-bred horses will be produced. At the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, the following mares have foaled: Carlotta Wilkes by Charley Wilkes, a bay colt by Sidney Dillon; Adioo by Guy Wilkes, a chestnut filly by Sidney Dillon; Caritone by Antione, son of Dexter Prince, a cnestnut colt by Sidney Dillon; Guycara 2:18} by Guy WilkeB, a bay colt by Sidney Dillon. All these foals are entered in the Pacific Breeders Futurity Stake. The Kenney Manufacturing Company has the latest improved machinery for putting solid and cushion tires on buggies and all kinds of vehicles, and puts them on in first-class shape with promptness. They also have on hand the largest stock of sulkies and carts on the Coast, and carry all weights, lengths and widths. If you want anything new in the cart or sulky line, or desire any repairs made, call at 531 Valencia street. Ed Lafferty, one of the best of our California trainers, is now in the employ of James Butler, of New York, and has wintered quite a string of that gentleman's trotters at Empire City track. Among tbe horses in his charge are Judge GreeD 2:09, Leta 2 13}, Direct View 2:08|, Aristo 2:08i, and Princess Athel 2:14. These horses are all in good shape and tbe most of them will join the California end of the Butler string at Detroit. Lets organize the Boosters Club and from now on do all we can to make every harness meetiDg in California a big success. Consider yourself initiated There are no dues except a good word and a little boost now aDd then to help the business along. Southern California breeders should not permit the opportunity to breed mares to Mr. Geo. Ford's fast trotting stallion Neernut 2:12} to escape them. The service fee has been placed very low and rvithin tbe reach of all. Neernut sires speed, good looks and salable horses. Already interest in the historic stallion show to be held in Lexington, Ky., next month is great. A recent canvass indicates that among the great trot- tiDg horses to be shown may be included San Mateo 2:13}, The Bondsman, Larabie tbe Great 2:12}, Oratorio 2:13, Jay McGregor 2:07}, Prodigal 2:16, Jay Bird, Scarlet Wilkes, Baron Wilkes Jr. 2:23}, Todd 2:14}, Ashlawn 2:24$ Gen. Forrest 2:09 and the Director General. The Western Racing Circuit opens at Fort Collins, May 22d, and there will be meetings to follow it at Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Trinidad, Denver and Salt Lake. The Albuquerque meeting opens May 28th and continues four days. The 2:13 pacers have a $1000 purse offered them, the 2:35 trotters the same amount, and there are $500 purses for 2:17 and 2:23 class trot- ters, and free for-all, 2:19 and 2:35 class pacers. Several events are offered for runners. The stakes will close April 10th, and tbe nurses May 15th. The advertisement appears in our business columns this week. California horsemen who intend racing on the Colorado Circuit should look over this program. Experience is a dear school, but many refuse to learn in any other. An obstinate Portuguese, who lived near the town of Picta, in Mendocino county, had a sick horse about three weeks ago and consulted a veterinary as to the animal's trouble. He was told that bis horse bad tbe glanders, that it was past cur- ing and that he had better shoot the animal. Above all, he was warned to be very careful or he would get the disease himself. The Portuguese was positive his horse did not have the glanders, and, to convince a friend, took a drink out of the horse's bucket, after watering the animal. Seventeen days afterward the Portuguese died in terrible agony, having contracted tbe disease by drinkiDg from the bucket. It is said that the black coltCarakina by McKinney 2:11} out of Biscara, dam of four in the list, by Director, is showing wonderful speed siDce he was shifted to the pace. Carakina was bred at Santa Rosa Stock Farm, and is now owned by Mr. Jas H. Gray, of Santa Rosa. He is now a four-year-old and was only shifted to the pace a few weeks ago but took to it so naturally tb at be paced amilein 2:17 after a few lessons, and a half in 1:06. John Quinn is train- ing him. Pasadena will hold a horse show on April 6th, 7th, and 8th, at which cups and cash prizes will be given in the different classes usually provided for in a horse show. An entrance fee of $5 is required and entries closed March 29th This horse sdow has made tbe horse market quite lively in Southern California, and buyers have visited this section of tbe State in search of likely prize winners. The show is to be held in connection with the annual Rose Tournament. Mr. C. D Daggett is Chairman of show committee and Mr. E. D. Neff, Secretary. Only a few years ago it wis not thought good form to drive a pacer on the New York Speedway. Now many of the most prominent roadities use them if not exclusively much of the time. Mr. BUIiogs, for in- stance, has five that have all beaten 2:05 on one or more occasions. Offers of $5000 are reported to have been made f"r Nathan Strauss 2:05} and Locanda 2:03}, but more money was asked for both. Samuel McMillan, James A. Murphy, Nathan Strauss, Dr. Gill and J. L. Dodge are among those who use the pacer for speeding purposes. Lucretia, the brown four-year-old mare owned by Col. J. C KirKpatrick and being trained by Jatnee Thompson at Pleasanton, trotted an easy mile in a shade better than 2:19 last Saturday. This mare is good enough for tbe 2:10 classes this fall She is large good gaited. and a nice actor, and her breeding has "a bit o' class to it," as she is by Naznte 2:2SS, own brother to Azote 2:04}, dam Lucyneer 2:27, dam of Lucrativa 2:13$ and Minnie B 2:15} by Electioneer, second dam the famous nld paring mare Lucy 2:14, dam of Chris Smith 2:14$ and Lucyneer 2:27. Secretary Gocher has sent out notices of an adjourned meeting of the Board of Review to be held at the Murray Hill Hotel, New York, N. Y , at 12 o'clock noon, on Tuesday. May 2d, 1905, by order of the President All communications intended for the consideration of the Board at tbe May meetiog must be forwarded to tbe Secretary Dot later than April 8th. The Board of Review is empowered to act in place of tbe full Board with the same authority and jurisdiction, aDd at tbe above meetiDg will coosider business arising in each and all of the districts. The death of C. J. Hamlin recalls the old time con- troversy that raged between him and H. C. Jewett as to the development of stallions designed to beget harness speed. Mr. Jewett owned Jerome Eddy 2:16} and Mr Hamlin, Mambrino KiDg which never got the semblance of a record and really had not much trot- ting blood about him. Results concretely expressed are that Jerome Eddy has now 26 trotters and 12 pacers in the standard lists while Mambrino King has 55 trotters and 18 pacers. Eddy has none in the 2:10 list while tbe King stands very nearly at the top as a progenitor of such extreme speed. At that this does not prove that undeveloped stallions may always be depended on to produce the most winning speed. — Exchange. WilliamG. Layngofthis city returned from bis New Zealand trip this week. The New Zealand Seferee of March 8th, contained the following item: "A number of prominent Canterbury trotting enthusiasts met at the Cafe de Paris last Thuisday evening to say good- bye to Mr. W. G. Layng, who, during bis few months stay in this colony has made a host of Meads. With Mr L. Wilsen in the chair, a most pleasant time was speot, tne guest's maDy humorous stories aDd personal anecdotes contributing to the entertainment of all. Mr. Layng left on bis return to San Francisco *"n Saturday, taking with him tbe good wishes of all wi h whom he came in contact. His many articles on trot- ting matters that have appeared in the Seferee have been widely read, and tbey will be followed in time by other9 dealing with trotting matters of interest to New Zialanders from America." S K. Trefry, the veteran trainer who is a living exemplification that Dr Osier's old age theory does not apply to horsemen, is training and taking care of two good ones at Pleasanton. One is the Diablo pacing geldiDg Tom Carneal 2:08$ that he raced and marked last year. This pacer looks better than ever and it need not surprise the owners of pacers in tbe 2:09 class if they have to step in 2:04 to beat him this year. Tom Carneal is one of the gamest horses ever seen on tbe circuit and if no accidents occur be will be a good money winner this year. Mr. Trefry owns a two-year-old colt by McKinney out of Mountain Maid , the dam of T'>m Carneal, by Cresco, that is a trotter and ooe of the handsomest colts in California. "Dad" says he is Dot saying anythiog about this fellow except that he expects to go to the races with him, hut if ever a colt looked like the real thiug it is this odb. The Columbus Driving Park Company has an- nounced its list of stakes for the Grand Circuit meet- ing, September 18 to 22. The Hoster-Columbus Brew- eries Stakes, for 2:19 trotters, will be worth $10,000. Provision is made for a $2000cnnsolation. The Board of Trade $5000 sta ke is for 2:18 pacers. A consolation of $1000 has been fixed upon. The Kentucky S ock Farm purse, valued at $7500, for three-year-old trot- ters, will be raced this year over the Columbus track. This stake carries a paciDg division. Tbe association has also opened a $2000 stake for 2:09 trotters and one of equal value for 2:08 pacers. Neither stake has b en named. EntrieB to tbese stakes will clcse on April 17. An entrance fee of five per cent for each horse, as provided bv the Grand Circuit rules, will be charged. Class race's for 2:07. 2:09. 2:12, 2:15 anfl 2:18 trotter, with classes 2:04, 2:07, 2:09, 2:11, 2:13. 2:15 and 2:17 pacers have been decided upon Tbe amount of money to be offered will reach $44,000. This is an in- crease of $z8,000 over the amount hung up last year. April 1, 1905] HLhe gveebsv cm& gpoxtsntaxi "Speculating" and "Gambling.' ' Employed is one of the branch bureaus of the Treasury Department there is a young man who has always reprobated evil in all of its forms and mani- festations. He is a real good young man from Indiana, says a writer in the Washington Star. He wears high-water trousers that have usually faded to an olive-green hue, and his somewhat sheep- like countenance is Always twisted into angelic expres- sion, denoting his reprobation of evil in all of its formB and manifestations He has always abhorred the bowl, and he has always been an active bucker against the noxious weed, in any shape or manner of using the same, ever s:nca he broke out of his little 'township in mid- Indiana and landed in his government berth here. And he has particularly grieved that there be any such horror in the world as gambling on the houses. Nevertheless and notwithstanding this good young man has been dabbling right along, ever since he first struck the capital and became overwhelmed with the amount of real money Uncle Sam dished out to him ■eao>monthly,with the merry little bucket-shop gatre. He was never able to see anything wrong or par- taking of the nature of gambling in the bucket shop game. He was able to scientifically differentiate between the bucket-shop game and race track gambling. In fact, he used to often argue that point with a bluff, brusque young chap at his boarding house, who owned a little merchandise business of his own. The young merchant-in-a-small-way was in the habit of occasionally getting a bet down on the horses nor did he make any bones about it. He liked to bet on 'em, he said, with engaging, if unnecessary frank- ness. He often lost a lot of money at it, and then, again, he quite occasionally won a lot of money at it. But he liked the horse racing game, whichever way the luck went, nor did he have the slightest hesita- tion in saying so in the presenca of the good young man from Indiana. '•But," the good young man from Indiana would say, deprecatiDgly, "that is gambling, you know, and you know what gambling always leads to, don't you?" "Sure thing, " replied the young man who was con- ducting a small business of bis own. "But I often hear, on the side, about your fiddling around with the bucket-shop gang. What d'ye call that?" "Why, that's speculating," the good young man from Indiana would reply. "Speculating, hey?" the other would remark dryly. "It isn't even a little bit of a gamble, eh?" "Not a bit of it, "the singularly queer-visioned good young man from Indiana would answer. "It's merely speculating." Which somewhat stubborn view, awhile ago, got a bit on the young merchant's nerves. A couple of weeks ago the good young man began to wear a very superior air around the boarding house and to throw out vague hints as to the likelihood of his resigning his government job and going in for a career as a financier. The market was going right for him in his bucket- shop dabbling, and it appeared thai he was a good $3500 on the correct side of the ledger. Wherefore the good young man from Indiana was very, very swollen, in so far as a sheep-faced t>nd good young man who wears olive-green high-water trousers and a quizzical smirk may exhibit swollenness. On the evening of that celebrated Lawson-of-Boston day last week, however, the good yourg man from Indiana tottered to the diniDg room table of the house with his pale hair exceedingly touseled and his quizzical smirk quite effaced. He didn't need to be asked why. He had been worse tban wiped out. It is grievous to be compelled to record the fact that all of the rest of the boarders at the table were tickled, almost foolish over his obliteration. They were, it is sorrowful to relate, only chagrined that he hadn't mortgaged his whole pay two year* ahead. While the young man from Indiana sat disconso- lately over his food a couple of sporty young depart- ment stenographers were talking about the young merchant who had calLd the young man down for his odious comparisons between speculating and gambling. "He went over to New York last night to get sime poolroom- bets down on a horse that he said would be as good as 50 to 1, and that he'd been tipped off from the right folks would win in a stroll," one of tnam was saying to the other, when the young merchant himself walked into the dining-room. He had a cubit-wide griu on his face, and each and everyone of his pockets bulged so that his clothes looked shapeless. The pair of sporty young departmental stenogra- phers looked him over inquiringly. "Did that thing go through?" they asKed him in one yoice. "What thing?" inquired the young merchant inno- cently, taking his 6eat at the table. "That mutt you got the tip on and went over to New York to play," they said in chorus. "Oh, you mean that little speculation of mine, "said the young merchant. "Yep, the old skate won in a walk, and I got 60 to 1 for my $50," and he pulled out a wad of yellow money big enough to choke a seawater valve of a battleship, at the same time casting a glance out of his eye at the good young man from Indiana. The latter gurgled and then grinned flabbily. "Say," he whispered, hoarsely, leaning over the table to the young merchant, "why didn't you put me next? If you had I wouldn't have been cleaned out today." "But, "said the young merchant in a tone of sur- prise, "I was gambling." "So was I, so was I, "moaned the good young man from Indiana, "only I had to wait till they walloped me to find it out." California Horses at Memphis. Murray Howe writes the Horse Review as follows: I notice that Mr. Adkins, owner of LisODJero 2:08], is quoted as saying that he would cheefully enter his good horse in a special trot with Sweet Marie and Tiverton, and judging from the talk one hears these sunny mornings, there are several others besides the Dexter Prince gelding around the track that would be tickled to death to take out a stack of chips and get in the same game. Mr. Geers has high hopes of George G. 2.06J. Speaking of this gelding the other day he said: "I made a big mistake last year in start- ing George G. at all. His track manners when I got him were not good enough to warrant racing him in first class society, but he improved constantly and was better than a 2:06 trotter when he was taken sick at Cincinnati last fall. I look upon him now as the nicest trotting gelding in America The Abbot was a nice trotting gelding, but George G. is a better one, and with good luck ought to go faster." So much for George G. Moving down the line a peg we come to Stanley Dillon 2:07J. Stanley, as everybody knows, was the fastest green trotter out last year, and his friends, including his trainer, believe that he would have trotted a mile as good as 2:05 last fall but for his unfortunate accident at Hartford. So much has been written about Stanley 's failure to make good in his late engage ments last year that the facts concerning his mishap may prove interesting. The trouble that put a check to his victorious career came at Hartford. He was winning his race with ease and bad a heat or two to his credit when he struck himself a severe rap clear on the outside of one of his front ankles. He is a very wide-gaited horse behind and is apt to do such a thing when he makes a sudden rush. As a result of this blow a large bone-like en- largement on the injured spot developed very rapidly_ This caused him great pain, and although Mr. GeeiB tried to continue his training, he was always too lame to give a good account of himself. During the Mem- phis meeting last fall, as the result of treaiment, tie knot on Stanley 's leg came to a head like a boil and finally burst, everything passing out with the matter. From that day he was a sound horse and was worked a mile or two better than 2:10 before being retired for the winter. He has wintered exceptionally well, and to watch him work he gives one the impression of steam engine strength and power. His admirers point to his quarters in 29 seconds in a race last year when- ever his chances are discussed . He Was Absolutely Fearless. The late C. J. Hamlin, says The Horse World, was not only an expert reinsman, but he was absolutely fearless as far as horses were concerned. Before the weight of years began to tell on him, it was not un- common for him to have in his city stable, for his own driving, some horse with which the trainers at Vil- lage Farm had had trouble, and, as a rule, when the horse went back to the farm, he was a far better be- haved horse than when he went away. At one time he had in his city stable a horse that would not stand for anyone to get in the buggy unless tied or held by the head. It was the groom's custom to hook this horse up in the morning and tie him oo the barn floor, not releasing him until Mr. Hamlin was seated in the buggy. One morning Mr. Hamlin reached the barn a little earlier than usual, and found the horse hooked up and tied, but the groom was nowhere to be found. Taking the reins in his hand, the veteran horseman untied the horse and stepped back to get into the buggy. Just when he was behind the wheels the horse reared and made a dash for the door. Mr. Hamlin was knocked under the buggy and clinging to the reins, he was dragged across the street where he ran the horse into a fence and with the assistance of some passersby, the horse was brought under control. To a member of his own family who asked him why he didn't let go the reins and allow the horse to go where he pleased, Mr. Hamlin, wiping the blood from his bruised face, said : "W hy, if I had let that horse get away it would have spoiled him forever." Two Young McKinneys in the Stud. Carakina and Ruskin are the names selected by Mr. James H. Gray, of Santa Rosa for his two young Mo- Kinney stallions that will make the season of 1905 at Santa Rosa Scock Farm. In the advertisement which Mr. Gray has inserted in the Breeder and Sports- man this week, he claims Carakina to be the best bred McKinney stallion living or dead. Carakina is out of Biscara, dam of four in the list, by Director 2:17, second dam Bicara, dam of six in the list by Harold, third dam Belle, dam of one, and of four sires, by Mambrino Chief 11, fourth dam Belle Lupe by Bellfounder. Carakina is a pacer and for the past few weeks has been the talk of the track at Pleasanton He went a half in 1:06} the other day at the end of a mile in 2:17}, and the last quarter was in 33 seconds. The combination of McKinney and Director blood in this colt, backed up by Harold and Mambrino Chief, puts him in the list of best bred ones for a fact. Cara- kina is a four-year-old and his service fee will be $50. The other colt, Ruskin, is well named as be is by McKinney, out of Russie Russell by Bay Rose 2:20}, second dam Oakley Russell by Happy Russell 2:21}, third dam by Orestes 2:20, fourth dam by Harry Ciay Jr. Bay Rose was a son of Sultan, sire of Stamboul 2:07}; Happy Russell was by Mambrino Russell out of a great broodmare by Happy Medium sire of Nancy Hanks 2:04: Mambrino Russell was by Woodford Mambrino out of Miss Russell, dam of Nutwood and Maud S. 2:08|, etc. The breeding of Ruskin is first class in every way and he will sire speed to a certainty as he is endowed with it himself, having worked a mile last month in 2:23}, last half in 1:09 and last quarter in 33 seconds. His service fee will be $25, and it is not often such a well bred stallion stands at such a low figure. Breeders will make no mistake in breeding to either of these young McKinneys.

Sacramento, Mar. 30, 1905. Ed. Breeder and Sportsman: — I saw by your paper last wi-ek that Swift Bird would soon produce a full sister or brother to Swift B. 2:16]. She has and it is a brother, born this morning and as fine a colt as ever was foaled. Looks like it might trot in 2:05. He is a bay with a little white on one bind foot. He will be entered in all the stakes here or in the East, and probably in both. Yours respectfully, Chas. F. Silva. The mare Idylwild 2:17f by McKinney was shipped East a few days ago, havmg been sold to an Eastern party, whom it Is strongly suspeoted is Mr. Simpson, the owner of McKinney, as she has been placed in W. J. Andrews' striog for training. Idylwild is out of a mare by Conifer and is one of the fastest of McKinney 's big family of fast trotters. Will Durfee used to work her out with Sweet Marie, and Idylvild could keep up with her in nearly ill the workouts. One day they worked Sweet Marie alongside a runner for a fast half and 1:04 was the best she could do, but Idylwild went out right afterwards and reeled off a hall in 1:03 very handily. She is a sweet gaited trotter aod would have been raced last year but caught the distemper and was Laid up during the summer. She has been looking in great shape this winter and acting well and the chances are she will be a member of Mc- Kinney's rapidly growing 2:10 list before fall. 8 &hs Qveeb&v cmfc g^oste-mon [April 1, 1905 The Horse's Mouth. [Chas. R. Wood. V. S. In American Horse Breeder.] There are numerous irregularities in the direction of molar teeth. I remember a number of years ago the trotting gelding Prospero, owned in New Yark, was suffering from an elongated and ulcerated upper fourth molar, which developed into osteo porosiB, necessitating his having to be destroped. At that time there was such a prejudice againjt veterinary dentistry, which was in its infancy, that as a result a large number of valuable horses were sacrificed which could have been saved by a timely and skillful opera- tion on the teeth. The lower jiw, as stated, when on the subject of parrot mouth, is sometimes shorter than the upper. This leads to an imperfect opposition of the molars as well as of the incisors, and the first molar on titber side of the upper jaw is apt to indicate excessive growth at the anterior part and the same happens with the back part of the last grinders on the lower jaw. These projections may attain considerable length and inflict injury on the cheeks and tongue. By far the most common irregularity from imper- fect wear of teeth depends on the breadth of too upper j iw as compared with the lower. Frequently the outer margins of the superior molars and the inner margins of the lower become sharp and jagged. This tends to induce excoriations io the mouth, the movements become more and more limited and the irregularities more marked. I remember a specimen in the Museum of iihe New York Veterinary College in which the tables of the teeth form such inclined planes as to be parallel with each other and crossing each other like scissor blades. The cause of this appears to have been caries of the two molars which having limited the action of the jaws to one side led to the growth on the opposite of the teeth and gradu- ally the confined movemants of the jaws favored the full development of the deformity. The lower molar teeth being smaller than the upper are occasionally most worn and this often leads to excessive wear of the middle molars on each side, the anterior and posterior ones remaining larger. The middle molars may be worn down to the gums and the latter then sustain injury. I have before men- tioned that from a molar tooth not beitig worn over its whole surface a portion may exceed a natural length. This is sometimes the case with an entire tooth when the opposite one is absent. Caries is unquestionably the malady most fre- quently affecting the teeth of man and animals. It consists in structural degeneration of theeDamel and dentine, though even the cement around the fang may become the seat of the disease. In considering the disease of the teeth in the lower animals we must not forget that the molars are certainly more subji ct to caries and other destructive changes than the in- cisors. The morbid process is sometimes slow and at other times rapid. Horses and all animals suffer in- t derably from toothache. They cannot eat, depress their head, or lay it on the manger or 6ide-post, and indicate marked relief when the offending tooth is removed. The caries in the early stage may lead to opacity and gradually to a dull brown or black hue of the enamel. A hole is formed and the dentine then becomes diseased. It seems often to exfoliate and gradually to beat up into its constituent elements which are softened and soon disintegrate. It is the accumulation of putrefactive substance in the holes of diseased teeth which induce great fetor. The fang of the tooth may primarily become dis- eased, the pulp is destroyed and the tooth, being de- prived of nourishment, dies, and is rubbed down by the opposing tooth. This is often the cause of fistula of the face, an abcess forms in the alveolus, the bone ■ wells and Boftens, the matter points to the surface and is discharged so that in the course of a few days a regular sinus or fistula Is formed, which is usually poorly treated, hence the unfavorable result. When the tooth socket is opened through the tooth the membrane which liaes the alveolus becomes in- flamed and soon there is a deposition of bone or ce- ment irregularly around the tooth. The root of the tooth is therefore the seat of a true exostosis and from the tension of parts inflamed and thickened It is easy to believe that the poor animal must suffer intense pain. The thickening of the bone or cement around the fang of a diseased molar tends to render the ex- traction of the tooth more difficult than when such change has not occurred. If caries affects either or both of the flrBt two molars it is apt to induce atrophy of the bone, disease com- municating with the nasal chamber. The root of the third molar corresponds to the point where the sensi- tive fifth pair of nerves pass out of the facial bones and 'oil im.nion or thickening of the parts here is at- tended with the most excruciating pain. Disease of any of the three last upper grinders, on the other he d, leads to extensive tumefaction and disorganiza- tion In the cavities known as the maxillary sinuses, which communicate with the nose and dischage through it the fetid pus which often forms there in consequence. Frequently the teeth are not looked at until horses are perfectly emaciated, or after fruitless efforts to relieve in cases of oppressed breathing from supposed nasal tumors. Imperfect mastication and rejection of partly chewed food from the mouth first indicate Borne source of pain or imperfect action of the teeth. Corn is greedily swallowed, but without being crushed by the molars, and Is therefore seen whole in the ex- crement. The system soon suffers and the animals, hide-bound and languid, are readily attacked with disease, especially colic, due to the undigested food, which distends the large inteitine. Audubon Boy 2:033-4 and Ecstatic 2:051-4 to Race for $10,000. Audubon Boy 2:03} and Ecstatics 2:05} respectivjly, the fastest stallion and mare owned in New England, will meet in a dual race over the New England breed- ers' ttack in Read ville, Thursday, August 24tb, the fourth day of Boston's Grand Circuit meeting. The match is for $10,000, $5000 a side and is the result of the sweeping challenge which was published in the Boston Globe. James Gatcomb, the owner of Audubon Boy, and John Dorey, representing the owner of Ecstatics, met at the Globe office and in a very few minutes the match waB arranged. Both men had the same ideas as to conditions, for- feits, and the track to race over. Frank G. Trott of the Globe is stakeholder, and the contract calls for the race to be paced over Read ville on thedate mentioned provided the track is in condition for fast time. If the footing is heavy the contest is to be postponed until the first good day and track. The Read ville management will not be asked to offer any added money, so that the principals in the match will be free to decide on the footing. Howland RusboII, president of the Breeders' Association, very gladly agreed to this arrangement, and remarked that it should prove a remarkably good drawing card. The race will be mile heats, best two in three, to harness. Ever since Dorey's challenge appeared there has been a great deal of speculation as to his "unknown'' pacer. The defi being aimed especially at John M' many thought that he was acting for the owner of Gallagher, the Canadian pacer, who raced against John M. so many times last season. A few guessed Ecstatic, but these few were of the firm opinion that If it was the daughter of Oratorio he would have none the worst of any match he could get on. Ecstatic made a splendid campaign last year, losing ouly one race, her first Btartat Worcester. Her racing was over mile and half-mile tracks in the west and east. Her record of 2:05} was made at Hamline, Minn., over a track considered Blow, and was timed in 2:03| from wire to wire. At the fall meeting at Readville she won a race which stamped her one of the very greatest of pacing mares, the time being 2:06|, 2:061, 2:06}, and faBt as they were, she reeled off the miles with ease. She is Bix years old and has always been driven and trained by Frank Lang, the clever Vermont reinsman, who will fit and handle her in her coming match. She iB owned and raced by Roaring Brook stable, Barton, Vt. The best of judges 6peak of her as a sure two- minute pacer, as they do also of the great horse she is matched against. Auduuon Boy is too well known to need more than passing mention. He was the champion money-win- ning pacer of 1901, and in 1902 went down the line without a defeat. He was not raced in the two follow, ing campaigns. He has been handled with much judgment and today looks better than ever before at this season of the year. Both ownerB have unbounded faith in their horses, and until they meet at Readville next August each man will be happy in the belief that he owns the fastest harness race horse in the world — Boston Globe, class of people, and more of them, becoming inter- ested in breeding, racing, owning and driving the ideal horse, the American trotter. Brisk and pros- perous as has been the sale season equally so, at least, promises to be the racing season of 1905, while in breedingcircles conditions were never more active, the books of mioy of the leading speed sires having already filled to overflowing. The meaning of all this is that the trotting horse industry has become one of the fixed, perpetual, eminently respectable and dignified business industries of the country, and is destined so to remain, attended by only such waves of depression as from time to time temporarily effect all industries, most likely to the end of time. TheBe things being true, the trotting horse industry as a whole, and the trotting horse breeding business in particular, should be conducted on the same plan of expected permanency as other great industries Makeshifts and temporary methods should be sup- planted by methodical stability, plans for perpetuity and greater and prolonged successes. A new era has presented itself to the American horse breeder, the trotting turfman and the trotting horse dealer. The whole thing is a business, od a business basis, and not a ''gamble," as it was fifteen years ago under fictitious prices, and six or seven years ago under no prices at all. — Western Horseman. A Banner Year. Unless actual facts and demonstrated actually ex- isting conditions are deceptive and misleading, the year 1905 will be the banner year of many years in the trotting horse industry. All of the great trotting horse sales during the closing months of 1904 were unusually successful, while all of the sales of this year have been marvelously successful, prices being decidedly higher than for a half score of years back, and the demand at all times for really desirable stock much In excess of the supply. Never have Indiana and Illinois had such sales, while the last Lexington sale was by all odds the most successful held there In near a dozen years. The reaction In f jvor of U e trottlng-bred horse has been most complete all along the line, and each succeeding year finds a better How the Money is Divided. Secretary Walter J. Snyder of the Detroit Driving Club is receiving numerous inquiries regarding the three heat plan, which is the plan the Merchants* and Manufacturers' and Chamber of Commerce Stakes will ba raced on. The following explains the division of the money: The $10,000 M. and M. Stake for 2:24 class trotters, $2000 is first set aside for a Consolation. Of the re- maining $8000, $500 is 6et aside and awarded to the winner of the race. The remaining $7500 is divided into three parts — $2500 — which shall be the amount raced for in each heat. This amount shall be divided, $1300 to the winner of each heat, $700 to the second horse in each heat, and $500 to the third horse in each heat. By this plan if a horses finishes but third only once, he has earned $500. The plan also gives horses ninechanceB to win a portion of the money and the smallest amount that can be won is $500 — the exact C08t of starting in the race — and should a horse win any portion of any heat and later be distanced, he will be entitled to the money already won. The Chamber of Commerce conditions are identical with thp M. and M. and the amounts raced for one- half— $650 to the winner of each heat, $350 to the second horse and $250 to the third horse in each heat. It is the opinion of the majority that the conditions governing these classics are the most liberal ever offered. The fact that they give the Northern trained horses an equal chance with the Southern trained one is recognized by all the trainers. Another feature which is favorable is tbat there is no chance for a long drawn out contest and the possibility of a good horse being ruined in the first race of the year. Entries close April 6ih. News From the North. [Portland Rural Spirit, Jan. 6.] J. B. Stetson will most likely race the Richardson string East again this year. Oregon Maid is booked for 2:04 or better this year. She was only beaten a head last year in 2:06}. The race track at the Oregon state fair grounds will be kept in condition to train on this summer. Bob Stetson is working a string of seven horses at the Oregon state fair grounds, mostly two and three- year-olds. W. L. Whitmore is driving Hallie Hinges 2:18, and her full brother, Priceless, double and they make the nobiest team in the city. John Lance has moved his stable of horses to the state fair groundB at North Yakirna where he will train this season. Sam Bowers is still trotting and will likely be out as a green trotter this year. King Alexis 2:26, pacing, owned by Cbas. Naylor, North Yakima, and Mark Hannabus 2:24}, trotting, owned by J. E Minner, of same place, have been matched to race mile heats, three in five, for $500 a side, to take place at the Washington state fair this fall. ^ Spring Care of Horses.

APRIL 1, 1905, ®He gxee&ev eml> gpovxatncux Frank Skinner's California Derby-winner, Bomba- dier, furnished the chief surprise of the week in racing circles. In his five starts previous to winning, the bay horse had not been better than fifth at the Inish, and in several of them had wound up "abso- lutely." Yet his owner played him on Wednesday for quite a tidy sum to beat Dr. Leggo, which had beaten him just a week before by something over sixteen lengths. Verily, this was a flipfiop— a triple one from a standing start and without a springboard, However.it can be said in justice to the horse that the going of Wednesday was just to his liking (slow and drying out), while the tracks did not just Buit him previously. About the most improved horse racing here now is Hulford. In his last two races he has made his fields look as common as dishwater, getting off none too well, runniDg past the bunch as if they were nailed down, and winning pulled up almost to a walk. He was bred at Napa Stock Farm, and is by the good Australian horse. Crichton, out of the excellent pro- ducing mare Nellie Bell. He was a good performer in 1904, but is better now than at any time in his career. James Woods, of Emeryville, has retired the mag- nificent Greenock to the stud and I predict that the son of Bramble and Lillian Lindsay, if given a fair opportunity, will outbreed any stallion In this State. He is a grand individual — next to Arabo the best looking horse tbat has raced here this winter, to my mind — has been a stake-winner at the far East, in the Middle West and in California, and is bred far better on dam's side than is Ben Brush, the Bramble horse that finished second to Meddler as a sire of winners in America last season, the oldest of Brush's get being four years old. Bramble was Bonnie Scotland's beat son, as a sire, and Greenock's dam, Lillian Lindsay, a stake-winner, was by Hindoo, best race horse of his day and sire of Hanover, best race horse and sire of his time. Greenock has won something like forty races during his turf career, could "sprint" as well as "stay" and I only wish I had a stock farm, I would look no further for a premier stallion — that is if Mr. Woods weuld sell the horse — and not being a breeder, I presume he would, if the consideration was at all reasonable. Garnett Ferguson brought Military Man to the post last Tuesday(after a long let-up foroed by acutdown) in the grandest condition possible, and he won an exceptionally fast race, like the game race horse he has proven himself to be times without number. At the head of the homestretch the chart says he was eight lengths behind the leader, yet he won by three parts of a length rather handily I thought. The same day that Military Man won Misty 's Pride ran the best race of the week, from a time and weight- carrying standpoint, giving weight away to every- thing in the race and winning in 1:07 over a rather Blow course, with 113 lbs. on. Best Man turned another one of those flipfiops for which he is noted, and won over the Futurity course with great ease in 1:11 carry- ing 127 lbs , and being well played. I have never seen a horse who runs better when the checks are down or worse when they are in the dealer's "rack." It looks as if the warring magnates of the Middle West were "tumbling" to the fact that they were miking fools of themselves — with a capital F. Sheriff Tom Barrett declared the other day that if the Western Jockey Club did not draw in its horns and stop its ridiculous "yap" about "outlaws," he would not turn over a hand to help them to race around Chicago. Now it would appear as if that official's words had had som^ effect upon Condon and his cohorts, for Worth, Hawthorne and the rest will race out their dates as originally allotted by the W. J. C., and the chances are the "outlaw" talk ^ill be but a strange memory. The W. J. C. drew in its horns materially at Memphis when it allowed the friends of the American Turf Association to run off its stake engagements over the W. J C. track. There will be war and loss of money at St. Louis up to June 16tb, the Union and Fair GroundB people running opposi- tion agaiD, just as they did last season. This is just a fair sample of the dog-In the-manger spirit that pre- vades "magnateorial" circles in the Middle West and South, and it will ever be thus until the breeders join hands and own most of the race tracks in their part of the world. Then they will allot such dates tbat racing will not become an eyesore to the church man or buslneBB man minus the sportiDg spirit. There are eno igh cities in the Middle West to form a fine circuit without offending anyone. I see Corrlgan has corraled the fair grounds track at Indianapolis, Ind. A com- mon-sense allotment would have saved racing and breeding interests in Missouri, beyond a doubt, St. Louis could have stood three months' racing per year where eight caused agitation and legislation. Cin- cinnati could easily support two months' racing per season, Louisville one, Chicago easily four, leaving two months for Memphis, Nashville and New Orleans. Had this plan been followed out how much better it would have been for all concerned ! As matters now stand, racing will be dead In Missouri after June 16, 1905, in Tennessee after December 1st next, while in Illinois it is dead now — if the law against betting is enforced In their greed for gold the swine-like track owners havelost sight of the fact that a little racing is a good thing in common, and that long-continued meetings are and always will cause agitation and adverse legislation. It will take years to right tbe damage the managerial hogs have done in the racing garden and meantime the breeders should think over the ways and means to save their financial bacon. Ralph H. Tozek. Does the History of the Turf Teach That All Animals Tracing to "Impure or Obscure" Sources Should Be Discarded? [Foxhall A. Dalngerfleld in Thoroughbred Record.] Bruce Lowe, page 66, of his work "Breeding Race- horses by the Figure System," says: "Colonel Upton has laid it down as a law that the male should be purer and better bred than the female, if there is a choice to be made. "Doubtless this was by way of proving that because the majority of the best sires in the "Stud Book" (.English of course) are descended from the Darley Arabian, whom he considered superior to the Barbs and Turks, they must perforce have been purer bred than their mates, who hailed from Barb, Royal and obscure smrces. My figures, however, prove the contrary. They show clearly that the best and moBt prolific dams in the Stud Book, as a rule, come from three running lines (1, 2, 4) origin, pure Barb descent. Whereas the best sires (as showD in the two last pedi- grees of Chester and Isonomy)are a combination of families of impure origin, and this can be proved by scores of examples beyond any question." In England there was racing before the introduc- tion of Eastern blood. The most meritorious of the native mares bred to importations of pure Eastern blood formed the foundatiot of the EDglish thorough- bred of to-day. There were horses owned by the American colonists before English thoroughbreds were imported for the improvement of the breed — through the most gifted of these mares, bred to Eng- lish or Arabian imported "thoroughbreds, " we estab- lished the American racehorse. We had no recog- nized Stud Book for the preservation of a record of these breedings — else in our obscure families of Ameri- can origiD and tracing to no family accepted in the English Stud Book as a tap root, could they be traced, they would probably be found to contain as many im- pure elements as O'Kelly's Eclipse. At any rate the impurities iD accepted English and American pedigreee are, in most cases, so covered by accepted strains ae to be beyond the reach of atavism. These families are accepted and given place in Bruce's American Stud Book, the first volume of which was published in 1873, and contains probably more errors than the English Stud Book, though this is a most generous admission by an American, and possibly should be accredited to courtesy to our "cousins," or ignorance of the English Stud Book. It is but just to the deceased author of the American Stud Book to say that owing to the war between the stateB in 1861- 1865 his work was greatly embarra&ed. aDd the elements of uncertainty in data obtained materially increased. The avenues of error opened by the capture and dispersal of studs iu the principal (almost the exclusive) thoroubgbred breeding States, with the loss of destruction of private Stud Books and other data, and the killing of a large per cent of the breed- ers themselves, made Mr. Bruce's an Herculean task. Almost every paper giving space to turf and. breed- ing topics iB now engaged in a crusade against the so- called ' tainted" American strains of blood from which have descended (practically) all of the good horses America has ever bred. I have asked some of these "purists" how they accounted for the fact that every one of the greatest runners of heats from Oiie mile to four, without a single exception, is descended in one or more lines from the exact horse (Timoleon) who they make their bete noir. From Boston, Lex- ington, Lecooopte, Idlewild, Planet, Kentucky, Harry Bassett, Fellowcraft, Glenmore, etc , nothing pre- eminent at 4-mile heats has failed to be "tainted" with this Bame "scrub" strain. But my friend, the purist, says "These horses could not run fast, and besides nearly all the horses they met had this same blood— they were merely beating each other." Even then there were many not so "tainted," but the records of the races do not embrace them, unles9 among the "also rans." At the close of the war between the States, Asteroid, Kentucky and Norflolk, all by Lexington, grandson of the bete noir, were the competitors for primacy at four miles. When Mr. Lorillard and Mr. Keene sen; Iroquois aud Foxball to England they were not appalled by the tainted line in their respective pedigrees, nor later did the same tainted s.rain in Cap and BellB and Disguise II prevent their going to England to battle with their best, for their best stakes. The result Is too well known to need rep-tition here. Heat races are of the past, but to this date no horse has been pre-eminent at anv distance (a holder of a record) who was not of "tainted" blood, according to these purists. But they say those horses hadn't the speed. Yet Fanny Holton could not keep Ten Broeck from leav- ing the turf with the fastest records for a dash at 1, 2, 3 and 4 miles, for ]J and 2| miles. Even at one mile he chipped off a considerable fraction of time, only to be reduced by another horse "tarred with the same stick." And so on it has progressed despite the enormous importations of "thoroughbred" sires atdl dams. The persistency of this claim that the old timer could not hold his own in the dash races of today, and the ex-cathedra utterances of the detractors of all things American, would have "set me running, "from my point of view, had I not, by age, loss all my speed- I, therefore, could do no better than to look into the records of "thoroughbreds" and to see how nearly the horses of "tainted" blood now approach them in actual speed. But, to my amazsment, the "thorough- breds" at the front in the list of 1904 holders of "fastest time on record" are as hard for me to find as the frightened Confederate found it to "spot a fellow worse scared than himself " The only meritorious record of "fastest on record" over a distance of ground now held by a horse strictly thoroughbred, is Ethelbert's 2J- miles (in 1899) a four- year old, with 124 lbs. up, in 3:49 1-5. The records of two other odd distances, viz: 5J fur- longs and 1 3-16 miles, are held by McGee and Scintil- lant, thoroughbreds. These are the only three of purely imported blood holding "fastest on record" to the close of 1904. With the enormous importations the thoroughbreds have not gone to the fore with strides to alarm the breeders who may have left a few "tainted" brood- mares, or even an American stallion or two. Every record for heats is held by a horse of "tainted" blood. All but three dash records are held by horses carry, ing this "taint," a handicap which has not yet stopped them. The three records held by McGee, Scintillant and Ethelbert, thoroughbreds, have been given above, the other fastest records are held as follows: Com. mencing at J mile, viz.: (See Goodwin's Turf Guide). y. mile— Geraldine, 4, 122 (straight course) 0-46 " Bessie Macklio. 2, 100 0:4614 414 fur.— Handpre>s, 2, 100 (straight course) 0:52 Tanya. 3,107 0:ol!4 5 fur.— Maid MarlaD, 4, 111 0-56*; George F Smith, 4 0:59 514 fur — Plater, 2. 10?

If "No. 10" is correct in his view that "climatic con- ditions'" in America cause the deterioration of English thoroughbreds imported, is it not singular that the descendants of Diomed, Trustee and Glencoe are still so much in evidence in our American thoroughbred? I have long thought the modern EDglish thorough- bred lacked tbe soundness and vigor of constitution of "the grand old Importations" and did not so well resist the depleting effect of the acclimatizing fever.

The first of April is here and trout fishing time is on, prospects for a good season are very favorable. Bait fishing will be tbe rule fora week or two, possibly longer. Spoons will also have an inning for a while. The recent rains have filled rivers, creeks ard brooks bank hi?h and made the waters look like pea soup. There will be many anglers out today and tomorrow nevertheless, some few decent baskets will be taken but not many we believe. Good luck and much sport to the Iraternity anyhow. » The Dry Fly and Non-Rising Fish. The phrase "waiting for the rise" always recalls to the mind of one veteran fisherman, the memory of a disconsolate angler sitting by the water's edge and complaining that he had reached the river at 9 a. m. and (it was then 6 p. m ) had been waiting for tbe ri6e ever since. He bad smoked, lunched, studied botany and entomology, done some extempore wood-carving with his penknifeand bits of btick: he had admired the scenery, and inhaled tbe pure air of heaven; if he had had a book, he would have read in short, be had shown himself possessed of an all round resourceful mind. But he bad not done what he chiefly came out to do, any fishing, and he was beginning to doubt whether he would do any for the stream remained absolutely untroubled by eigne of feeding fisb, and he was t person of strictest orthodoxy. O ,e cannot help admiring so lofty a conception of the ideal, but one feels that is all it is; it is not fishing. Most of us prefer that the rod should not be quite idle when we are by the river and not a few in like circum- stances would have "raked the water with a wet fly." It does not, of course, often happen that there is no rise at all. But one remembers reading reports from some favorite resort: ' Quite a lot of salmon flies out between 12:45 and 1. Pish taking well " Considered with an open mind, this is not much better that no rise at all, and it is odds that auring these precious fifteen minutes the fisherman who has been waiting since 9 a. m , (or earlier) will be away from the bank, seeking fuurleaved clover or doing other useful botanical work. This ib what may have happened to the disconsolate one before mentioned. Again, the angler may not reach the river at all until tne after- noon, in wnich case the result is the same. Or it may even happen that he had the benefit of the fifteen minutes' rise, and yet, from one reason or another, caugnt nothing. More, trout can be put down in five minutes than were ever landed in the same space of time. In fact, all roads of reflection in this matter seem to lead to the same point — an empty basket after little or no fishing. Looking the matter thus boldly in the face, one is inclined to wonoer whether this last straw in the angler's cup of disappointment is not to some extent unnecessary and artificial. It arises undoubtedly from the angliDg commandment: "Thou shalt not fish except tnou spottest a rising trout." It is a good commandment in a general way when the rise is a matter of reasonable duration, but if the fishing has to be compresssed into fifteen minutes or not done at all, one begins to rebel. Nor is one's mood much appeased by the explanation that the commandment is utilitarian in intention and (if commandments ever did contain a "because" clause) mignt be amplified with 'because thou canst not catch a trout that is not rising ' One is dissatisfied with this clause because it is not true. Thio is ex mplified by an angler, who said: "One day I was watching a trout, of the kind that never rise, in a water where the capture of a trout on a dry fly constitutes a new epoch, a big-headed, dark boditd fish that lives on miunows, hellgramites, etc., and other unorthodox fare, suffering from acute dyspepsia in consequence. The fish, which may have been two and ougnt to have been three pounds, lay stolidly on the bottom; had it been a pi ce of lead pipe it might have been more useful, but it could not have shown less interest in life. Nevertheless it was a trout, a visible trout, in a water where trout are all too few, and a small red spinner was dispatched as a token of recognition. And that big-headed, black- bodied, dyspeptic fish detached itself from tbe bottom as the fly floated down, rose with remarkable celerity and seized it like any troutling. The thing was so unexpected that I forgot to tighten on the fish, which quickly rejected the fly and returned to the bottom. Nor did a trial of many other patterns produce an- other rise. Nevertheless the fact remained that with a small, dry fly I had risen and should have hooked a trout that was not rising in a river where these fish, to all intents and purposes, do not rise." Other experiences of the kind are not unknown and this instance is quoted by way of illustration of the point of this article, which is, the possibility of catch* ing trout with the dry fly when they are not rising, a possibility by no means to be neglected when tbe prospeds of a rise are remote. The main principle to bear in mind is that any trout which you can see, if it displays any sign of animation at all, is worth putting a flyover. In the case re- corded the fish displayed no sign of animation, and was as unlikely a subj ct for experiment as coula be found. In an ordinary trout stream, where trout are reasonably plentiful, he would have been left severely alone. But, then, in such a stream one can hardly fail to find here and there a fish which is willing to take a fly if it falls opportunely. An effective method cf procedure is to look for such a fisb close under the nigh bank, and, of course, up stream. By means of a cautious advance, taking ad- vantage of every bit of cover, and holdirjg one's rod well away from tbe water, one can often get quite close to a fish which is lying within an inch or so of tbe bank close to the surface, and apparently lost in meditation. If a small red palmer (as good a fly for the work as any) should drop from the bank, as it were, immediately in front of the trout's nose, tbe chances are at least even that he will have it, and such a balance of probability is well worth testing There are two good methods of presenting the fly. One is to cast straight up stream in the uaual manner, trying to make the fly hit the grass before it falls on to tbe water. This is the safer method as far as get- ting hung up goes. The other method is what may be termed the cross-country cast, in which the line falls on the grass while the fly drops over the edge of the bank, with some three feet of leader at its dis- posal to prevent an immediate drag. Tbe line must be checked before the cast is quite finished, so that tbe fly falls first and reaches the fish before any of tbe leader strikes the water. A fly presented in this manner is more convincing than in the other- hut it will be found that the herbageis wonderfully tenacious, and the angler will inevitably get hung up from time to t'me. The first method is, on the whole, less try- ing to the temper, but it occasionally happens that fi-.li can only be reached by the second then temper cannot be considered. On one occasion when thi6 plan was tried on a fish lying just above a tuft of grass. A small tree on the left prevented an upstream cast, so there was nothing for it but the "cross- country" tacties. The first fly was ignored and in the recovery took firm hold 'of the grass tuft; the angler still kneeling, pulled the line till the gut broke and tben put on another fly This one duly joined its mate in the grass tuft, as did a third, *but the fourth fly caught the fish after which the three flies were recovered and replaced in the fly-book. Fishing over non-rising trout is, it need hardly be statf-d, not advisableif rising trout are to be found, butforlackof better employ roent it serves its turn, and will often win a few nice fish for an otherwise empty basket. It is necessary to see one's fish and to move with the greatest caution, for one cantot see a trout from a very longdistance. A bright sun makes it easier to spot the fish and does not, it is thought, make tbe prospects of a rise any the worse; indeed, hot summer afternoons, when all seems hopeless by tbe rules, have sometimes, when spent in this manner, given better sport than either the mo ning or evening rise. The Sportsman's Show. ^ The Pacific Coast Forest, Fish and Game Associa- tion exnibition was opened last evening with a com- plimentary reception. Hon. Jas. D Phelan delivered the opening address. Dr. F. W. D'Evelyn and Joa- quin Miller also addressed the large and appreciative audience. The show itself is a credit to tbe enterprise and public spirit of tbe promoters. Space will not permit, this week, a descriptive notice of the show No one interested in Nature's ways, outing, sports of field and stream should miss the show at the Mechanics Pavilion, in fact we would earnestly advise tbe reader to go early and often it will repay you. — ♦ San Francisco Fly-Casting Club.

The Vallejo Gun Club opened the blue rock season on Sunday last by giving a preliminary shoot at their new grounds about three miles above Vallejo. Many improvements have been made over the old grounds and the club now has one of the best places to shoot in the vicinity of this city. Regular club shoots are held on the second and fourth Sundays of each month and the club extends an invitation to all trap shooters to visit them. After April 15th the cars of the Vallejo and Napa Railroad will run directly to the grounds. Out of a membership of forty-five about twenty shot through all events last Sunday and considering the high wind some exceptionally good scores were made. The Santa Ana Gun Club will hold a two-day tournament shortly following the Los Angeles shoot, April 22, 23. The Los Angeles Gun Club, besides medals and trophies, will hang up a 8400 added money purse. The Oceanside shoot is temporarily postponed. The recent storms damaged the trap grounds to such an extent that extensive repairs are necessary. The Golden Gate Gun Club regular monthly shoot is the attraction for the Ingleside grounds tomorrow. The Blue Rock Gun Club will shoot on the High St. grounds, Alameda, tomorrow. DOINGS IN DOGEOM. READY FOR ENTRIES. The office of the San Francisco Kennel Club was opened at 630 Market street last Monday morning with Manager H. H. Carlton in charge. Premium lists and entry blanks were promised to be ready today by the printer. Mr. Carlton's appearance in harness again is a re- minder of old times and will, no doubt, be much in favor of a big list of entries and smooth sailing for the show in its executive details. VICTORIA ITEMS. Secretary T. P. McConnell of the Victoria City Kennell Club is sanguine that the B. C. show will be a "topper'' this year. He writes: We expect a larger and better show this year than ever. From present indications we will have good support from outside fanciersand we can alwayscount on, at least, 150 local dogs, so that we ought to bench 275 to 300 dogs. Last year we tried the experiment of giving cash prizes, but did not find it a success, although we had assumed from the statements of a great many fanciers, that it would prove a big card. Our experience is, that it was a failure, for we did not have as large an entry as the prior year, whilst both Seattle and Portland had bigger shows than in 1903. We therefore decided to again offer cups in place of cash prizes. It will be interesting to watch results this year Our club is prepared to do just what exhibitors are in favor of, but it is believed cups and trophies are more acceptable. The majority of our fanciers are well-to-do and have a leaning to hand- some prizes instead of cash. Among other things, we will have splendid competi- tion in English Setters this spring when the best dogs of England and America come together. I am show- ing Mallwyd Bob, England's best for 1904, the dog that defeated Ch. Rumney Rock twice. Friend Rip- linger, will show Ch. Bracken o'Leck, the New York winner, Mr. Bennett of Portland will show Ch. Stylish Sergeant and against these will be two or three local bred dogs that will likely make one or two of tbem move down a peg. In bitches, Ch Ellorer, Cb. Pera, Ch. Alberts Ro.-alind, Zola Montez, Victoria Belle II., Fanilla Rockline, Lady Bird (just arrivfd here from England) and otherE — all making an in- teresting competition for the blue. I think it will be the best collection of Setters ever brought together in the West and I doubt if it could be equalled any- where in the East. PORTLAND SHOW NOTES. Indications point to a fine show in Portland. Sec- retary F. F. Wamsley writes us: "We expect to hold the largest show in the history of the club and as those of the past years have been very successful both in regard to number of dogs ex- hibited and manner in which the shows have been conducted we feel satisfied that this one will be up to our standard in general details and considerably be- yond past records in entries. This is the firBt show held in this city under A, K. C. rules as heretofore this club has been a member of the P. K. L. and W. K. L. associations. There is an excellent opportunity for owners of the right kind to make champions this year if they have that class of dogs. Mr. Tom Ashton of Leeds, England, will judge all classes and will no doubt take good care of them as he is a judge of twenty-five years experience and has been breeding and exhibiting dogs for the last thirty- six years and has judged all the principal shows in England and on the continent. This is Mr. Ashton's first visit to America and the PortlaDd Kennel Club has reason to congratulate itself on securing the services of sucb an able man to judge their show. You will note by the premium list that the business people of Portland have been very liberal in the dona- tion of trophies for the specials and since that list has been published we are in receipt of further specials and more coming in, we will announce full list in our catalogue." COLLIE FANCIERS' OPPORTUNITY. Collie fanciers and breeders now have the oppor- tunity of securing one of the be6t stud dogs on the Coast for their bitches. Glen Tana Bounder a big prize winner and proven prod ucing sire is now installed in the Glen Tana Stock Farm Collie Kennels at Spokane. Bounder arrived home on March 15 in grand shape. He is a very large, strong boned, handsome sable and white. His head is good and long, small ears, placed right, and in fact a typical Collie all over. Hectmes by it all properly for he was sired by Ch. Parbold Piccolo, he is, by the way, the only litter brother of that great sire Ch. Anfield Model. Aside from Bounder's own wins be has sired the winners, Glen Tana Talent, Glen Tana Cracksman and Glen Tana Christy. The Millwood Gun Club members contested in the initial club blue reck shoot for this season on March 26th. A fair attendance and good averaging scores made a somewhat unpleasant day acceptable for the participants, among whom was, we are pleased to mention, a well liked and popular shooter "Billy" Brown, whose advent 00 the grounds was unexpected but appreciated by his shooting comrades. The first SEATTLE TO BE DISCIPLINED. A communication from Secretary J. P. Norman advises us that at a special meeting of the Pacific Advisory Board held last Monday, March 27th, the following action was taken: Resolved — That any official, paid or unpaid, of any show held during the month of April at Seattle under rules other than those of the American Kennel Club, or any exhibitor at such show, or any official or mem- ber of any club holding such show, would be thereby di-qualified, and in the event of such being held, the present officers and members of the Seattle Kennel Club would be disqualified, the holding of Buch sbow or being concerned therein being deemed conduct prejudicial to the best interests of dogs and dog shows. It will be noticed in the foregoing resolution that thedi-qualification clause goes a bit further than the original resolution to that effect for now both the ex- hibitor and member of a club is placed in the pro- hibited zone — in other words the American Kennel Club will tolerate no oiher kennel jurisdiction on the Coast and carries this non-recognition to as far reach- ing an extent as possible. As we .ntimited at the time the adoption of dis- qualifying tactics by the Westurn Kennel League, has turned out to be a boomerang of potential dimensions.

Black.] The sportsman who seeks fur and feathers has as good a chance of gratifying bis desires in parts of the Hawaiian Islands as elsewhere, provided he has the proper gun and a good Retriever. Our mountains and seashores abound with pheasants, plover and other varieties of feathered creatures in their respective seasons, and while not as plentiful as in former years, when game birds were not annoyed by the destructive mongoose, there are enough now for the moderate demands of the true sportsman. A man will tramp further and work harder for a few pheasants or plover then he wiU for their equivalent In dollars and cents, but labor of love lightens the toil, and the exercise In the bracing mountain or sea air so invigorates one that he finds good health a greater reward than his game dinner. People who come down here for their health ought to get out of Honolulu every day or so in dungaree clothes and ramble over the mountains and through the valleys, now scaling a cliff by climb- ing over the tops of hau bushes, and anon chasing the nimble wild goat as it skips along tbe mountain sides. It's fun when one gets used to it, and that is net long after the initial effort Is made. Every muscle of the body is brought into action, and the faculties of i2 ©tte giveeSev tm£> Qpcvtzman [April l, 1905 thn,«,ht are sharpened by the presence of danger that to his great pleasure, that he had shot the rares thougntaresnarpeuc j r , d game on the beach. We continued our hunt for cur often attends these excursions. Hard mental ana physical exertion of this sort in this glorious climate is the true stimulant for the nervous, run-down body Side lines game lew that day and brought in fifteen The plover is common, but furnishes plenty of sport. It flies against the wind and the hunter gets dock shots when he is in a line of the flight. The event of migration is worth traveling acrosB the island to see. All these migratory creatures congregate in a great field and, amid a babel of vociferous quackings and who has sat too long at his desk in the close atmos- phere of busy San Francisco. But this short story relates to hunting, of country rambles are not wanted here, though they screechings, for I fancy each variety of bird has a language of its own. they prepare for their annual flitting. Their noisy and seemingly angry debates must bear directly upon the organization of their forces, for the very best discipline prevails when they ascend in a spiral course and catch a southwest wind above the trade wind clouds. In this cui'rent they are carried northerly and northeasterdly to their temporary home in the icy north. As an illustration accompanying what two guns can do with plover and other birds in a day's outing, I remember a bag that was brought down in the spring of 1894. Mr. Cunningham and I took a trip only a few miles from Honolulu and obtained in two hours 17 pheasants, 15 ducks and 12 plovers. The success of our trip made quite a stir in the city at the time, and as a consequence our photographs with the "real appertain to the sportsman's life. Let us start at one o'clock on a fine October morning, in quest of pheasants, the finest game bird known hereoranj- where else. We take a double team and drive to, say, Leilehua, where we leave the horses and wagon and take up along the ridges. We may walk ten or twenty miles tna. day, and probably bring back to Honolulu early in the evening six or a dozen pheasants. 1 here are two kinds, the Mongolian pheasant and the Japan- ese blue pheasant, and they will weigh five or six pounds The former variety was introduced in 18bS, when a steamer oame here from New Zealand with a dozen birds. A party of us bought them and turned them loose. Other lots came afterward, and Kame- hamameha V bought some for the Island of Molokai, where tbevare very plentiful. Itnests on theground, ..j ;n „„!„„ throueh the gulches the hunter is almost stuff, " accompanied by Mr. Cunningham's Pointers, *nu 1U guiug «ui« 6 " -,. mu„ A ;„,„ !t TT„„„1„1„ n„to Wn SflSSS nnrt T=Tr,nnl,il„ Snnrl TJn upon hTs game before he sees it. The dog points it and up it comes from the deep gra6S or bush, like a shot, and flies away at the rate of 17 yards a second. This sudden appearing and vanishing give to the pheasant its gamy characteristic, which is the de- light of the hunter. Exceedingly swift of wing, it will easily elude an amateur, and it requires any amount of practice to bring one down. The illustration represents a day's bag of twenty- two pheasants shot recently on the "pheasant lands" back of the Honolulu plantation. The island pheas- ants are noted for bea"uty of plumage and are very handsome. The quartet of shooters were Mr. E. H. Paris, a sportsman well known in this city; Mr. Har- vey, both connected with E. O. Hall & Son, Honolulu, and Messrs. Austin and Gares. The Pointer and Irish Setter in the picture were both bred in this city and sent to Honolulu by Mr. Phil B Bekeart. Both dogs have been well broken and have developed into splendid field workers The novice gets a kind of "buck" fever when one rises in his path On the table, after a "hard day's sport, it makes a delectable dish. The season is from the 15th of Sep- tember to the last of April. The Mongolian species was in- troduced into the United States after we had been shooting them here. The Japanese blue pheasant was brought to Ha- waii about six years ago. The bird will alight in a tree when disturbed, but its Mongolian cousin never. The California quail is very abundant on Ka- uai and Molokai, but few are seen on this island [Oahu]. On Molokai there is also the royal quail, called in California the mountain quail. I have shot thirteen at a time on Mo- lokai. The wild turkey season is concuri ent with the pheasant season, and one must go to the Ewa and Waianae mountains to find this variety of game plentiful. It feeds on guavas, ohelos and all manner of insects, and gets plump before Thanks- giving. SometimeB it will weigh twenty pounds Honolulu Duke No. 30858 and Honolulu Sport No. 28766, were taken. That this is a coojenial habitat for the plover its exceeding fatness in February testi- fies. When it comes in August it is of normal size, speckled and golden, but in six months it is heavy, very plump and black-breasted. Mr. Albert Wilcox is a benefactor to the sporting fraternity in Kauai in this way: Within the past six years he has imported at considerable expense Ameri- can pheasants, prairie chickens, grouse and partridges, engaging a man to come down with the coveys. Furthermore, he offers a large reward to anyone who will furnish him with the name of any person taking a mongoose to the Island of Kauai. Two of these pests got into a box of machinery one time and smuggled themselves into the island. A regular hue and cry was started by Mr. Wilcox's order to find HOXOLULU SPOBTSMEx's BAG OF PHEASANTS them. A big force of men and dogs finally ran the little animals down and they were quickly dispatched , The deer of Hawaii are confined almost exclusively to Molokai, where.owing to theinfrequency of hunters' dressed, being quite a load to pack on a man's back visits, they increase and multiply and lose much of over mountain trails. There are lots of turkeys on the other islands, too. Other things you see up in the valleys and on mountain Blopes are peacocks and guinea hens, though never in abundance. Some of these have escaped frorr. domestic keeping and have in time become as wild as the turkeys. The Chinese pigeons, commonly called doves, are legitimate game from July 1st to January 1st. The migratory birds are hunted extensively. They are chiefly the plover, curlew, akekeke, ulili also the shyness that is characteristic of their species. Some forty years ago a small herd was brought to Honolulu from Portland, Oregon. A buck and a doe were turned loose at Kahuku and the rest were sent by Kamehameha V and Governor Dominis to Molokai, where their progeny now exists. A buck and doe were also sent to Hawaii, but the results of the experiment on that island and also Oahu were not profitable, the fawns were killed off by wild dogs. Another lot after wards came here from Ceylon, spoonbill, widgeon and sprigtail ducks. They migrate and again more were imported from China, all the to the shores of Behring Sea during the first week of - May, and return with their newly hatched young in the first week of August. How long they have been newcomers were allowed to run with the other wild ones on Molokai. I have never hunted deer in Havaii. About three yearB ago the government officials of the Republic of Hawaii employed two deer hunters at $40 per month, who came from California, to slaughter deer on Molokai, as it was thought the noticed occasionally that brant and other wild geese animals were destructive to the forestB — eating the making the Hawaiian Islands their home nine months of the year the Creator only knows. Their habits make an interesting study in natural history. I have come with these migrants when they return in August, this circumstance being generally a certain indication of an early and hard winter up north. I atn very glad that there is one species of game that the mongoosecannot molest, for these birdsthat bring their young from over the sea have no nesting place here. "As rare as a plover's nest" is a saying in Hawaii that means the same as "as rare as hens' teeth" elsewhere. The web-footed species, the spoon- bill, sprigtail and widgeon, get a good deal of their food in fresh water ponds in the neighborhood of the seashore, while the plover eats insects, grass and grain in the fields. Our curlew is the king of them all to the man with a gun. It has a bill five inches long, with which it digs into the beach for its food. When the whistling call of this bird is heard by the sports- man a thrill of excitement comes over him, for this bird is a rara avis. I recall one day when my friend, Mr. Cunningham, first went shooting on this island. He got separated from me on the beach and I heard his gun banging away l'ke a battery Soon I joined him aDd asked him w jat he had been doing. "O, I've killed a lot of these thines, " he said, and he showed me half a dozen iurle"r. Then I had the satisfaction of telllDg him, leaves and destroying many species of young trees and shrubs. These fellows began their work and in a short time bad slain over 4000 deer. Otto Myer, who lives on Molokai, it is ciaimed, shoots every year from 1000 to 1400 deer and ships the skins to C. Brewer & Co., who pay him 40 cents apiece for them. Wild cattle, pigs and goats furnish abundant chances for indulging in rough, hard sport In the wilds of the islands of Hawaii wild cattle are plentiful, and on every island the land owners are very glad to get the pigs and goats killed off. The smaller quadrupeds make good game for the boys to practice on. The Hawaiian Islands are the habitat of two kinds of game that are peculiarly their oivn, being found in no other part of the world. Tbciy are the Hawaiian goose and the Hawaiian teal duck. The former is found only in the wild strawberry belt at the base of Mauna Loa on Hawaii, where it feeds on strawberries and ohelos. It is a handsome, speckled bird, weigh- ing from six to ten pounds and very symmetrically formed in body, neck and head, It nests on the ground and is so unlike the ordinary wild goose that one can approach it to within five or ten yards and shoot it with a revolver. There is now but a few hundred left of what was in ante-mongoose days an enormous colony. When the volcano is unusually active they have the peculiar habit of flying around the crater. I have shot and eaten them, the flesh and flavor is very fine. The Hawaiian teal duck is very similar to its webfooted namesake in America, this duck feeds here in fresh water only. In the day time it will rest in the gulches and at night it comes down to the taro and rice patches for its food. It iB eagerly hunted by all sportsmen and is becoming scarcer in all parts of the group every year. I will say a few wordB about the pretty skylark that is seen along our country roads and then I am finished. About thirty years ago I bought 48 of these birds for $24. They came here on a steamer from Australia. I gave them theirliberty in the Hawaiian Hotel grounds and never saw a feather of them for three or four years afterward, when suddenly they appeared all over the Island. They sing like meadowlarks and are distinctively a ground bird. No one thinks of shooting them I am very pleased to state. The hunters of Honolulu, that is the active ones who are out for game every season, are comparatively few in number, considering the scope we have for sport Among them are H. M. Whitney, Jr., E. I. Spalding, George Robinson, Wilhelm Lanz, E. H. Paris E. O. White, Mr. Austin, Mr. Gares, W. M. Cunningham, S. G. Wilder, G. P. Wilder, E. R Adams, E. H. Wodehouse, E. A. Mclnerny, Fred Whitney, R. Ivers, S E Damon, Wm. Mutch, C B. Wilson, C P. Iaukea, W. A. Whiting, Henry Davis] J. M. Dowsett, H. J. Burniston and myself W. C. Wilder is an oldtime sportsman and a good one, though he is seldom seen in the field. Kinney Rawson, the jeweller, who died in 1876, was a favorite com- panion of mine, and so was Mr. Park, a carriage painter. We had many an enjoyable day's shooting and filled many a bag together. TRADE NOTES. THE HUNTER ONE-TRIGGER GUN. The Hunter Arms Company, of Fulton, N. Y., have recently issued a handsome and beautifully illustrat d booklet descriptive of the 'Hunter one-trigger on L. C. Smith guns." This pamphlet is worthy the perusal of every devotee of the shotgun and can easily be procured by writing request to the above address. Among the merits set forth for the Hunter one- trigger it is stated : That it is simple — onlyth.ee im- portant parts, and each part is large and strong. It is not frictional in any way; the action is positive and will work every time. It is an impossibility to double the Hunter nor can it be balked. It is selective — you can, at your pleasure, shoot right and left, left and right, all rights or all lef'.s. The one-trigger has been completed for over three years. It has been rusted aod gummed up and it has been abused, "we know it 1b perfect. " It is also in line to state here that the L. C. Smith hammerless guns come in twenty different grades rangingin price from $25 net to $740 list. Each grade is made with an automatic ejector and the Hunter one-trigger can be placed on any L. C Smith gun, new or old. AVERAGES REPORTED. Chicago, 111., February 25th and 26th, Fred Gilbert, first general average, 342 out of 360, shooting "Du Pont." H.

WINCHESTER "LEADER" SHELLS ON TOP. At the regular monthly shoot of the Union Gun Club, which was held at Ineleside on Sunday last, the 26th inst., shooters of the Winchester new "Leader" Bhells carried off the honors of the day. Over 50% of the shooters that participated in this shoot used the Winchester maie of shells and the only two straight scores made during the day were made by shooters who shot the "Leader" shells. R. C. Reed. 25 straight with "Leader''' shells, and M J. fverson 20 straight with "Leader" shells. Mr. Iverson also captured the Championship Medal shooting the "Leader" shell, while Mr. A. Dutton, with "Leader" shells, won the Third Class Medal. From Canada to Texas and from Maine to California, Winchestersbells are the ones the winners use, therefore if you want to be on top, shoot the shells the champions shoot.

An exchange says it is well known t.hat in the human body certain chemical changes take place which entirely trans- form certain substances and rearrange the chemical elementB in these substances until they become entirely different materials to be used in the anatomic economy of the human body. To illus- trate, the potato is known to be composed largely of starch. This Btarch is taken into the al mentary canal, where it iB transformed into sugar, the sugar into fat, and the fat used to fire up the furnace that keeps the body warm. No process, however, has yet been dis- covered by which the calcareous matter that forms the shell of an egg can be manufactured out of something else. It seems that it must be furnished to the hen that is to lay tne egg, in a soluble form, but whiih is still composed of the constituent atomic matter that enters into the composition of an eggshell. This being the case, it is but reasonable and sensible to conclude that the proper thing to do is to furnish the hen the cal- careous matter in the moBt available form, in order that it may be converted into eggshells in the most ready and and easiest manner. Manifestly there is no way in which this matter can be furnished to the her in the very best form as properly as in the form of ground or crushed bone and such bone can be prepared only by the use of bone mills manufactured for the special purpose of grinding and crushing bone. It is as reasonable to expect the farmer to go back to the old sickle to cut a 40- acre crop of wheat as ' to expect the poultryman to get the best results by grabbing up a piece of bone, placing it on a stone, then belaboring it with a hammer. The result in both cases would be equally disastrous. The farmer who trieB to cut his wheat crop with a sickle will be likely to take a sirloin off tne lower Bide of his hand, and the poultry-raieer who tries to manufacture bone meal with a stone and a hammer will be a3 likely to come off with a howl and a masbed thumb and four fingers, and will wiBh that be had purchased a bone mill in the first place. Bone may be fed either in the form of finely ground meal or it may be crushed into small grits and fed in I his form. In the first case the grinding process in the gizzard of the chicken is sooner completed than when grits or small particles have to be ground up in this organ ; in either Has Imitators But No Competitors.

It is an easy matter to supplv poultry with ground or crushed bone. After the bone is ground or crushed it can be placed in any kind of a vessel, from which it can be eaten by the poultry A tin can without a top lid can be nailed to the side of the wall and in this a quantity of bnce can be placed. This will permit the fowls to eat what thej need, whenever they need it, and it will be found that they will consume a great deal in a short time The chickens will consume any kiDd of bone, but they like treen bone better than that which is dry. The phosphorus which all green bone contains aids very materially in supplying thiB very essential material of which feathers are partly composed. — Fruit World. Buff Color. Buff color is a prettv difficult thing to define in words. We caD get samples of the color on paper and on silk, but the real buff of the feathers ia indescribable when seen in the highest state of perfec- tion that nature and condition have brought about. Buff is neither red nor a yellow. We say this because there seems to still be a divergence of opinion on this point. We have seen good fanciers lean toward the reddish color and think it very nice, and again have seen equally good fanciers go wild over a pale yellow color The stand- ard calls for a golden buff, and to a person who is not color blind that description should fill the bill. Years ago in England and in this country we had orange buff, lemon buff and cinnamon buff, and that is why there is such a mixture in some Cochin strains today. The golden buff come3 verv cloBe to being the orange buft losing a trifle of the reddish sheen ana gaining- that golden lustre so desirable in the buff fowl. To produce such, standard colors must prevail in both male and females where mated. Extreme matiDge will produce shafty, ticked and mealy specimens. The first person to adhere to the theory of mating standard birds waB Gej. G. McCormick, of London,"_Canada Tuis was years ago and we do not remem ber of handling a moie even lot ot Buff Cochins in color than th< se shown by him some eight or nine years ago. The wonderful success in breeding for color attained by Buff Wyandotte breeders in the past three years is due to the fact that extreme matings were discarded and even colortd buff specimens used. The same can be said of Buff Plymouth Rocks and Buff Leghorns and to a certain ex- tent of Buff Cochins. But in Buff Cochin Bantams we Btill find too many red males and shafted and mealy colored females. A true buff male will show the same sheen and color in hackle, saddle and wing bow, the main tail featherB, winge and breasts being also the same color, the sickles corresponding closely in sheeD and color to the hackle and saddle In the female all sections should be alike, and even buff color with no shafting, the ODly exception being, perhaps, in the hackle, when in high conditioned speci- mens there will be found that grand golden lustre bo much admired. Under- color, although a trifle lighter buff.should never be over-looked White under-color and especially white quills, are serious drawbacks in breeding birds. Black or blue cast in under-color is not near as Beriousadefectas many breeders imagine One of the best breeding birds we e\er saw had considerable slate in ite ui. de- color Suffic it to pay that with ptwi.dard matings and a thorough pedigree system in the selection, little fear need be en tertained of makirig a failure in produc- ing fine specimens.

When pigs seem to be doing poorly con- •idering the amount of food consumed it is a good plan to make a careful examina- ' tion for lice. Many thriftless pigs though to be afflicted with some insidious disease or to be infested by an intestinal parasitet are really free from these troubles bui, covered with lice which cause sufficient irritation to prevent growing or fattening, writes A. S. Alexander in Farmer's Be view. Unless one is accuBtumed to look for lice on hogs he may fail to find them by looking upon the body alone. In bad cases the parasites may be found every- where but in milder cases the vermin will be found under the the ears, in wnnkleb about the head, or under the flank, fore legs or hind lege.

"UHon we find brood sows infested by lice at lime 01 parturition and tne ver- min migrate to tne pigB and K.eep tnein from tnriviug. it- is important that pregnant sows should be -rid of lice Deiore farrowing and that growiins pigs should be lrecd from this pest or, better Btill, not allowed 10 become iniested. Tne louse is not difficult to lull and tne work ol destruction ueeu not be expensive. It becomes expensive when kerosene is used to aestroy nee on preg- nant sows lor this agent olten produces abtomon. Sonie otner effective prepara- tion should be used and such is to be found in the list of tar product disinfec- tants or dips aavertisad from time to time in our columns. They are better than kerosene emulsion, inexpensive, non- poisonous and ready" tor use by Bimple admixture of water. Tne hogs may be sprinkled with a solution of one ol these dipB, dipped in it or scrubbed lrom heau to foot with the vermin-killer. An ingenious method of applying kerosene 01 other lice destroyer is quoted by the Indiana State Hoard of Agriculture from whose bulletin on such subjectB we have taken some of the matter 01 this article A good Bolid oak post a foot or a foot and a naif in height is placed in position in the hog lot. One hole is boied in the top to ibe depth of about eight inches and two at right angles from the sides at the bottom of the vertical hole. Soft pine pins are driven into the Bide holes. The upright hole is filled with kerosene and stoppered. Next a burlap strip eight or ten inches wide is wrapped around the post over the side plugs This after a time becomes soaked with kerosene and the pigs will rub against it at the place where it will do the most good. When pigs only a few weeks old have to be dipped they may be caught and immersed in a barrel of solution. Old hogs may be treated la a sheep dipping vat sunk in the ground and fitted with a false bottom so that it will not be over three feet in depth. Where orude petro- leum is usad the vat should be filled with water to the desired depth and about an inch of the crude oil poured on top. The hogs may then be driven through and a thin layer of oil will be deposited on every point. When treating hogs for lice It is well to scrub the woodwork thoroughly with a hot solution of coal tar dip and then whitewash bo as to r;et the wash into every crack and orevice. This may kill some Hoe or get rid of some "nits." It will at least make the pens sightly and sanitary, and strange to say lice seldom bother hogs that are kept in pens where whitewash Is freely used several times a year.

The horse CAN BE WORKED AS USUAL For BARBED WIRE CUT-., CALKS, SCRATCH ES, BLOOD POISONED SORES and ABRASIONS OF THE SKIN it has no equal. It Is very adhesive and easily applied to a waterj as well as a dry sore. Its use will absolutely prevent BLOOD POISON ING. In this respect there is no Gall Cure offeree which can justly even claim to be a competitor We placed it on the market relying wholly on its merit for success, and notwithstanding the fact thai comparatively little has been done in the way of advertising the sales of 1900 were 100 per cent great- er than the aggregate sales of Gall Cure preceding that year. This increase was entirely due to its MERITS, and from it we feel justified in saying thai it is THE GALL CURE OF THE 20TH CENTU RY It is a quiok and sure cure for those troublesome skin cracks under the fe -*ck v. nich Injure and often lay up race horses.

The first four trace in the male line to Hambietonian 10 through anoestors which, in each and every genera- tion, have been the best producers of their day and have been better producers than their sires or grandslres. In DILLCARA'S pedi- gree there are six crosses of Hambietonian 10, each of which goes to him through only the best producing lines, and five crosses of Mam- brino Chief, eaoh of whioh goes to him through dams that have been extraordinary producers. Individually, this young stalHon. DILLCARA. is as good as his pedigree. He is of the stout, blocfcy type, without coarseness and he is a superb model of his type. He has excellent trotting action and a great degree <.f natural speed He has never yet been in the hand* of a trainer, his owner preferring for stock purposes a sire that has never been raced and has enjoyed freedom from the nervous and phvsical strain of severe drilling and raciDg expecting 'hat as a consequence the produce will be more valuable Mated with well-bred mares by McKinney.

ECUADOR Henry Wheatley, Napa GREEN'S RUFUS The Baywood Stud, San Mateo ONE HUNDRED AND ONE two-year-olds have been paid up on in the Breeders $6000 Futurity for foals of 1903. These two-year-olds are eligible to start in the trotting and pacing divisions of the stake at the Breeders meeting this year, and while but a small proportion of them are being worked for these races, the chances are that the number of starters will be larger than last year, when the two-year-old trot had a field of eight and the two-year-old pace but three. But will they have the class of last year's two year- olds? Seldom has a finer lot of youngsters been seen on any track than those which contested for the two- year-old divisions of the stake in 1904. In the pace were the three fillies Delilah by Zolock, Mona Wilkes by Demonio and Roberta by Robert I. Delilah won in 2:16£ the fastest mile paced in the United States by one of her age last season. Mona Wilkes took a record of 2:17 two weeks later at Santa Rosa, and Roberta got a marks of 2:19} also at the Santa Rosa meeting. In the trot there were eight as fine two-year-old trotters as one would wish to see Bellemont, a daughter of IZombro won the race, North Star by Nutwood Wilkes getting a heat in 2:24 and second money, Ambush by Zolock was third and Athasham by Athadon fourth. At the close of the year Belle- mont's record was 2:20}, North Star's 2:24, Ambush had a mark of 2:20 and Athasham one of 2:20. Now these were a very high class lot of youngsters and il the two-year-olds of 1905 come up to them in speed they will do well. There are a lot of royally bred two. year-olds in the list of 101 eligibles printed this week. Geo. Beckers has paid on a full sister to his great stallion Zombro 2:11, Martin Carter on an own brother to Bob Ingersol 2:14}, Lou Crellin's entry is an own sister to Owyho 2 09}, and a glance over the names of the dams of those eligible will show such mares represented as Lida W. 2:18}, dam of Nutwood Wilkes, Bertha by Alcantara, dam of Don Derby 2:04i, etc. B USINESS IS GOOD IN THE EAST among the harness horse breeders, and the stallions are being patronized to a greater extent than for ten years. H. T. White one of the best posted of the writers on harness horse affairs, and a gentleman who is in touch with all the leading breeders and owners of the country writes as follows on his subject: "When an Indiana man paid $9000 for Sidney Dillon at auction last winter the fact was recognized by ob- servant horsemen that the sire of the world's cham- pion trotter had been secured at bargain counter figures. This is already shown to be so by the an- nouncement that the stallion's book is practically full at $150, so that Sidney Dillon will pretty much earn himself out in his first eastern season. Prom all parts of the country comes the news that never before were so many mares bred to the high class stallions as 1905 will see. McKinney, at a $300 fee, will turn away would-be patrons in New York state, and at Boston Bingen will have more than he can do. In the Ken- tucky blue grass region all the noted sires are pnspei - ing wonderfully, and, in fact, stallions of merit every- where are being patronized as never before. John A. McKerron will make his first full season this year! He is located at Litchfield, O, and will have an extra fine lot of mares on his book, headed by the ex- champion Nancy Hanks, followed by the one time wagon champion Lucille, and four or five other fast mares from Mr. Billings' matiree stable. Critical people in such matters do not doubt that McKerron will prove a great sire, and he should certainly be of distinct value to the breeding interest, as he is one of the best ga'ted trotters that ever looked through a" bridle, and one of the sort to whom the saying, 'He doesn't know how to make a break,' will truly apply. The first colt ever sired by McKerron was sold the other day for $5000. He is called Harry McKerron, is four years old, and last summer I saw him step a half mile better than 1:06 at Cleveland and do the trick in racehorse fashion." -THE BREEDING OF VENUS, dam of Sidney ' Dillon, Cupid 2:18, Adonis 2:11 and Lea 2:184, is again the subject of considerable discussion in the Eastern journals devoted to trotting horse in- terests. The Breeder and Sportsman desires to say that it is in possession of factB that will in its opinion set at rest forever the question of the sire of Venus, and will say that the evidence shows her to have been sired by Capt. Webster beyond any doubt. The gentleman who has furnished us this information has all the papers and affidavits that will be printed in this paper in due time The evidence thus far obtained contains statements and letters from persons who owned the dam of Venus before and after the latter was bred, and there is a chance that something more may be learned about this mare, so a delay of a few weeks has been decided upon that the breeder of Venus' dam may be learned if possible. If nothing further that is authentic can be ascertained, however then the facts already known to us will be printed together with the signed statements of all parties. Thej will make most interesting readiDg and will we think set at rest the breeding, on the sire's side at least, of one of the greatest of broodmares the State of California has produced. WHEN Direct Hal 2:04J was purchased at auction last winter, his new owDers fixed his fee for 1905 at $150, and advertised that the five best mares booked by March 15th, would be bred free. The selection was left to a committee of prominent horse- men and breeders and the five mares they selected out of some forty or fifty booked were the following: Ellen M. (dam of the pacers Fanny Dillard 2:03}, and Hal B. 2:04J), by Blue Boy, son of Blue Bull; second dam by Blue Bull, Jane (dam of Angus Pointer 2:04}, and Annie Sprague 2:214), by Grant's Hambletonian; dam by imported Highlander. Fanny Egthorne 2:27} (dam of Morning Star 2:04}), by Egthorne 2:12}; dam by Magnetic. Ophelia (dam of Strathline 2:071, Blackline 2:22 and Dr. S. 2:22J), by Strathmore; first dam by Smuggler. Maggie Hernley (dam of A. J. D. 2:09}, Maggie Anderson 2:09}, and Andy W. 2:17}), by Regalia; dam by Mambrino Pilot. It will be seen that the mare heading the list is an inbred Blue Bull mare, which to those who are always decrying this strain of blood, will doubtless be quite a surprise. But Ellen M. has "done gone and done it" better than any other mare ever did, as she has produced two with records below 2:05, a world's rec- ord. Until some mare with a double cross of different blood than that of the Hero of Flat Rock, produces two faster and gamer race horses than Fanny Dillard 2:03} and Hal B. 2:04i, the enemies of Blue Bull should firmly and discreetly hold their peace. "THE MONEY OWED by the California State Board of Agriculture to horsemen and all oth» rs will be paid to them within the next sixty days. The money has been appropriated by the State to pay these debts and that owing the horsemen will probably be avail- able sooner, the claims only having to be passed upon by the State Board of Examiners before warrants can be drawn. This is more good news to California horsemen, and it looks as if things were coming their way this year. If last year's purses are all paid before entries close for the State Fair meeting this year, the directors can look for one of the biggest entry lists the association has receiyed for some time, as every horseman in the State will then be out boosting for the State Fair for all he is worth. The organiza tion is now a State institution in a different sense than before existed, and all believe that the new deal will be a great improvement over the old. T-'HE ENTRY LISTS will be good this year in Cali. ' fornia. Evidence of this is the entries made for the stakes advertised by the Breeders Association. The date of closing was set for April 3d, but post- poned to May 3d. Many at a distance who did not hear of the postponement in time, sent in their entries and the showing made leads us to believe that every stake advertised by the Breeders will be filled when entries close May 1st. Answers to Correspondents. Wm. Remke, Woodland— The mare Josephine 4th by Joquita is out of Cimerone Girl by Legal Tender, grandam sister to Saturn by Alhambra. She is registered in the American Stud Book Joquita and his sire Lucifer by Leamington both sired winners, but to give a list of tbem would require more time than can be devoted to answers in this department. F. Sealey, Oroville— Beaumont 13937 is by Le Grande 2868, dam Oak Grove Belle by Arthurton 365, grandam Henrietta by Bell Alta, son of Williamson's Belmont. William Mead, Santa Maria— We do not find the stallion Beta registered in the American Stud Book. W. J. East, Fortuna— Jim Mulvenna 2:27}, which we presume is the horse you mean was by Nutwood 600, dam Jane McLane (dam also of the pace- Peacock 2:23}), by Budd Doble 3764, grandam the pacing mare Lady Clinton, pedigree not traced. Jim Mulvenna was a trotter, and was bred by J. P. Sar- gent, Sargent's Station, Cal. He is a registered horse and his number is 3581. We can find no record of Lady Mulverine A Well Bred One. Danube, the green trotter bred by Capt. J. C New- ton of South Pasadena, that recently became a mem- ber of the East View Farm string at Pleasanton, and worked a mile in 2:13 is not, as has been stated, by Titus brother to Direct, but is by Direcho, a son of Direct. Capt. Newton writes us that Direcho is by Direct out of a mare by McKinney, secoDd dam by Echo. The dam of Danube is Clara W. by Director 2:17, second dam Belle Echo 2:20 by Echo, third dim the Titus mare by Williamson's Belmont. It will be noticed that Danube has a top and bottom cross of Director and also of Echo, in addition toa cross of Mc. Kinney and a foundation of Williamson's Belmont blood. Here is breeding that is decidedly "stout," and Danube gives promise of being everything that his pedigree would indicate. An astonishing condition of things now exists in the New York horse market. Prior to a couple of weeks ago stables were filled to the doors with high class material, and while the ice king held the city in his grip there was next to nothing doing. Today the capacity of the local horBe trade is taxed to the limit. The finest horses are being eagerly bought up by bankers, brokers, iron and steel magnates and men prominent in all sections of the commercial world, and a famine is imminent. Prices are soaring sky- ward as the supply gets shorter, and unless the great shippers of the west come to the rescue soon the situation for buyers as well as traders will become awkward tosay the least. The drain upon the whole- sale concerns has been very severe, and the retailers and operators in the auction marts are taking extra- ordinary measures to secure their quota of good material. More ready money is afloat in New York this spring for generally useful horres than ever be- fore, and inquiries from people who, for the past couple of seasons have reduced tbeir stables, are coming in so fast as to overwhelm the dealers and auctioneers. • Jackson's Napa Soda Is sold in every oity.towi and hamlet in the State. G£he Qxseifsx tnti* ^ynyvtstnan I April 8, 1906 i J°TTINGS- MORE GOOD NEWS for the owners of trotters and pacers is that Woodland is getting ready to occupy a prominent place on the circuit this year, and claims the week before the State Pair for its meeting. As the Woodland meeting has for years been one of the most popular events in the State with horsemen as is proven by the big entry lists and the good racing which has always been the rule there, this announcement that it will be in line this year will be received with great satisfaction by all con- cerned in the success of the California circuit this year. Although the District Agricultural Society will not give a fair, owing to the fact that no appro- priation was made by the State for any fairs this year, the Woodland people want a race meeting and horse fair and will soon raise a substantial subscrip- tion to aid in making it a success in every way. Yolo county has become one of the leading horse breeding counties of the State as well as one of the most im- portant horse markets. It has been proposed that a parade of draft, coach, carriage and light harness horses be held during the meet.ng and prizes awarded, which will be a great feature and will draw large crowds. Since Ales Brown purchased the Woodland track he has spent a large sum of money in improvements and it is now one of the best ap- pointed tracks in California. Last month the entire infield was sown in alfalfa which is now coming up nicely and when the meeting is held in August a field of beautiful green will greet the eyes of those who occupy seats in the gnndstand instead of the glaring yellow stubble which has been there in former years. Superintendent Spencer has had the track much im- proved, and, while it has always been a fast track, the chances are that it will have its record broken this . year. Ed. R. Smith, who did the starting on the Cali- fornia circuit last year, and who is one of the leading spirits in the big Los Angeles trotting meeting which will open the circuit this year, came up on the Owl last Monday night for a few days stay in San Fran- ciseo. He says there never has been as much en- thusiasm manifested over a future event as is now being shown by the Los Angeles people over the six days of harness racing. He says the big sum of money that has already been subscribed could be doubled were it necessary, and that there is a deter- mination everywhere prevalent among the southern horsemen to assist in making the biggest harness racing event California has ever seen. Mr. Smith relates an incident that occurred at the track the other day which has been the talk there ever since. Will Durfee was to work the mare Idylwild 2:17| re- cently sold to Mr. P. S. Gorton of Illinois for $6000, when Mr. Gorton reached the track and asked if he could not drive something that morning Durfee said "I am about to give your mare a couple of heats and you can jog her a warming up mile in about 2:50 if you like." Mr. Gorton assented and was cautioned not to drive her faster than the speed mentioned as she had not been a mile faster than 2:40 this season. Mr. Gorton mounted the sulky and went to the half all right but came the last half in 1:06$ and the last. quarter in 32 seconds. Durfee was greatly surprised and when Mr. Gorton dismounted asked why he had driven so fast. Mr. G. was not aware that he had done so and said he was talking her back all the way. The horsemen are all wondering just how fast Idyl- wild could have come that last half had Mr. Gorton "talked her forward." San Francisco butchers and their friends are scour- ing the country at the present time looking for trotters and pacers that stand a chance of winning raceB at the Oakland track on Butchers Day, one of the big annual events in this section The biggest crowd seen at this track during the entire year is the one that attends the celebration of the Butchers Board of Trade at Emeryville, and not only is the grand stand filled to its capacity, but the betting ring and the paddock are both so crowded that one has to elbow one's way when passing through. The racing program continues from 11:30 a. m until sundown, and a half dozen harness events and as many running races are decided, while three or four bookmakers have all they can do to handle the money. As the Oak- land track is a dangerous one for trotters and pacers, owing to the ridge through the center constructed to dra'n it through the winter, few horses of any class are ever entered in the harness races, but once in a while a pretty fair horse makes his racing debut there . afterwards is raced on the circuit. The majority •hose startiog, howerer, are road horses and old •ju classed campaigners. The racing is very good, however, and there is more fun and enthusiasm than could be aroused at any regular meeting. Butchers Day will be held during the month of May this year as usual, after the close of the regular running season, and as I remarked at the opening of this paragraph, the country is being searched for material with which to win the different events. From $250 to $500 is the amount buyers are willing to give for a pacer or trotter "that can do 2:20" on a good track, as that speed is considered sufficient to win with, but they find that the demand is far ahead of the supply. Some of the races are to road cart, in others a regula- tion butcher's cart is required, while in a few of the events the very latest and most expensive racing hitch is permitted. Last Butchers Day about twenty thousand people attended and the crowd promises to be even greater this year. It is a sight worth going to see, although the racing is not up to Grand Circuit calibre. If some plan were devised by which trotting and pacing races could be so conditioned that the horses which have reached a speed limit of say 2:25 would have a chance to win once in a while, it would be a good thing for all concerned. There are hundreds of horses that can trot three heats in 2:25, but cannot beat that time more than a second, that would be raced every year were it not for the fact that tbey have no chance on earth in the 2:30 or 2:25 classes, because the fast green ones are starters in those classes and win all the heats in better than 2:20. Hi Hogoboom, the Woodland trainer who is said to be the originator of the expression "Speech is silver, but silence is golden, " has been advocating condition races or selling races for trotters, for several years past, but thus far without success as none of the associa- tions have been enterprising enough to offer races of that character. I believe Mr. Hogoboom is entirely right in the matter, and that a few races of this sort on each program would draw large entry lists. The fact is very evident that when a trotter has reached 2:20 speed or a pacer 2:15 speed, and they can go no faster there is little chance for them to race and get any money so long as the programs are made up of class races. The good green ones come out now and trot or pace so fast that the 2:30 and even slower classes are won in 2:15 or better, and consequently the horse with a mark of 2:20 that cannot beat his record three times, hasn't even a chance to get his entry back. Acting on Mr. Hogoboom's request I suggest the following to associations that have not yet arranged programs for 1905, believing that races given under the conditions stated would fill well and be very satisfactory: No. 1. Selling purse, $500, for 2:20 class trotters; winner to be sold at auction immediately after the race. To be started at the owner's bid of $500, and all money paid in excess of this figure to go to the association. Winner of race to get $300, second horse $150, third horse $50. Entrance five per cent, and five per cent additional from winner of first money only. Mile heats best two in three. No. 2. Claiming purse, $300, for 2:40 class trotters; winner to be started at owners bid of $300, and all money paid in excess of this figure to go to association. Any other hors6 in the race may be claimed by any- one for $300 within one hour after the race by making applioation and paying money to Clerk of the Course who shall pay the same to the owner of the l.orse. In case owner refuses to accept same he shall be ruled off. No. 3. Trotting, 2:40 class, $500; for horses that have started but never been inside the money in races where heats were trotted in 2:20 or better. Three moneys — 60,30 and 10 per cent. Five per cent entrance. [Note. This race is conditioned so as to keep out horses that have been winning second and third money in fast classes without getting a mark.] Nos. 4, 5, and 6, for pacers with conditions same as Nos. 1, 2 and 3. The above are offered for what they are worth and no claim is made that they will do more than furnish an opportunity for the slower horses to be started once in a while with an opportunity of getting a portion of the purse. I do not think it would be advisable to have more than four such races at any meeting as the object of giving purses is to improve the breed of horses, and the fastest among them should earn the most money, but there are a good many owners here in California who have spent lots of money in breeding and training horses, and who pay out a great deal for entrance each year without being able to get any of it back. In the States across the mountains there are hundreds of little fairs and race meetings where trotters that cannot beat 2:25 and pacers that are hung up at 2:18 can win purses, but here in California we have but one circuit and a horse that cannot beat these records is a bill of ex- pense from start to finish. For this reason I think the owners of the slower horses should be catered to a little that they may get a little sport, if nothing else, out of the game. "Blood will tell," and although every well-bred colt is not a two-minute horse, there has never yet been a champion whose pedigree was known that was not well bred, and when one appears whose breeding is unknown the chances are ten to one that, if we could ascertain the pedigree it would be found full of racing crosses. Up at Pleasanton last Saturday a three- year old filly by Bonnie Direct 2:05}, dam Myrtle 2-13* (dam of Robizola 2:12}) bp Anteeo 2:16J, second dam Luella (dam of Prince Nutwood 2.12* and Myrtle 2:13J) by Nutwood, third dam Ruth" Ann by Bell Alta, etc., trotted a mile in 2:22J, the last half in 1:05* and the last quarter in 32 S. seconds. This filly belongs to Mr. W. H. Lumsden of Santa Rosa, and is entered in the Breeders Futurity for this year as well as in several of the big stakes over East. For a three- year-old trotting filly to show such speed by the first of April is remarkable, but when her breeding is con- sidered one can almost say, "I expected it " Bonnie Direct got his mark as a four-year-old. was Bired by a horse that was a world's record holder and that sired the champion two-year-old Directly 2:07a. Myrtle the dam of Mr. Lumsden 's fiily, was a fast colt trotter and broke the talent when she beat Vida Wilkes for the Occident Stake in 1891 and took a three-year-old record of 2:I9J. She has since produced Robizola 2:12£ that was faster than her record, and one or two others that will be in the free-for-all class. The sen- sation caused by the three-year-old daughter of Bonnie Direct trotting a half in 1:05} was not the only thing that made him the subject of considerable talk among horsemen at Pleasanton last Saturday, as a two-year-old trotter by him out of a Steinway mare showed speed enough in her work the same day to start predictions that it would be as fast as the three- year-old filly. This, two-year-old was given two heats, the first in 2:46, last half in 1:16 and last quarter in 36 seconds, the next in 2:41 with the last of the mile practically the same as the other. This two-year-old was bred and is owned by Mr. C. L. Griffith, owner of Bonnie Direct. Although there was never a cleaner gaited pacer than this stallion, nearly all his get are natural trotters and have the inclination to stick to that gait no matter how much they are urged. He is one of the coming great sires of California. A piece of bad luck has happened to Mr. R. P. M. Greeley, one of Oakland's leading business men, who" started a few years ago trying to breed a stake win- ner. He owns the fast pacing mare Winnie Wilkes 2:17} by Mambrino Wilkes and bred her to Diablo 2:09}, pacing. One would naturally expect a pacer from this mating, but the result was a trotting filly that is now five years old and can show close to two- minute speed. He then bred Winnie to McKinney 2:11} and got a black filly that is one of the sweetest gaited of pacers and a very handsome two-year-old. The next mating of the mare was with Searchlight 2:03} and a colt resulted that paced before it walked' and was most promising. It was entered in the Breeders Futurity for foals of 1904, but contracted distemper a few weeks ago and died last Monday; and Mr. Greeley received word ihis week from Pleasan- ton that Hester Diablo, the trotting mare, was also ill. Mr. Greeley deserves better luck than this as there is no person in California who loves a horse more It Is to be hoped that no further casualties will occur in his small but select string of fast ones. It seems to me that the only way in which the pedi- gree of Lou Milton's dam can be traced is by the pro- cess of elimination. There were many mares owned by the late William C. Ralston, and from all reports quite a number of them were chestnuts. In my short experience as a searcher after the mare's pedigree, I found three or four persons who claimed to know all about the mare Fly, but when closely questioned they only had hearsay evidence to offer Only one person, my old friend Green Thompson, of Santa Rosa fur- nished me any evidence that was worth printing and that was to the effect that he owned Fly at the time of her death, and had no knowledge of her pedigree. He bought the mare with several other horses from John Mendenhall of Lake county, who told him she was in foal at the time to bis horse Milton Medium, and particularly requested him to take good care of the foal when it appeared. Mr. Thompson stated that Mendenhall told him he got the mare from Kim- ball of the Kimball Carriage Mfg. Co., who had her from Ralston, the banker. This was all he knew of the mare, except she was a chestnut with strip in the face and one hind ankle white, but which ankle he did not know. Now, Mr. Taylor, of San Jose, desig- nates one Ralston mare as Fly and Sam Gamble designates another. Mr. Taylor traces his mare to Ral- ston but no further. Mr. Gamble traces his mare from Ralston to Kimball, and says the latter owned her but two weeks, but does not state what became of her then. Now, the only way to arrive at anything defi- nite is to ascertain all the chestnut marefe that Kim- ball and Ralston owned and trace them to their death or their present whereabouts. By this means all the mares that are not the dam of Lou Milton might be eliminated from consideration and the actual identity of her made easier. APRIL 8, 1905] ©it£ gvee&ev anto gftwetefmtm Fresno Gossip. Peesno, April 4 — Fresno has not had the good fortune to have a race meeting since 1902 and it might ba said that the interest generally taken In the trotter and pacer here has been pretty dull for the past two or three years. The old fever seems to have returned this spring however, the business promises to flourish again and the old standbys are making an earnest effort for a big meeting in July. The fair grounds and track are now the property of Fresno county. The track is being worked regularly and is in fiDe trim and there is no doubt that with the proper effort a week of racing in Fresno would be a success. Some- thing definite in regard to a meeting will be made known in a week or two. There is only a small num- ber of real live horsemen here but what they lack in quantity they make up in quality and will be heard from later. There are about fifty horses in training here at present but a number of others are expected in a day or so. W. H. Middleton has quite a string in training and several of them are workinglike they willdo. Nothing in the stable has been asked to step along much ye4 but everything is in good shape and will be given some stiff work from now on. He has Queen Pomona a four-year-old pacing mare by Pomona out of Nugget by Nutwood, and Dan S. a promising three-year-old gelding by Athablo out of Daybreak, both owned by L. Stock, Fresno; NannaC. a handsome two-year-old filly by Strathway, dam by Magister and Bicycle Maid a three-year-old sister to her, owned by Joe Arcalion; Edison Wilkes (4) by Selma Wilkes; Chas. McBride's pacing mire Belle by Richard's Elector.dam by Grand Moor; J. R. Goodwin's brown mare Lady by Mam- brino Chief Jr., and a six-year-old pacing gelding owned by U. R. Cook, Fresno. Joe Depoister is training four green ones at present among the most promising of which is the three-year- old chestnut colt Guy by Guy McKinney out of a mare by Dexter Prince. He also has Happy a four-year-old black stallion by Sidney Arnett; Milton Gear, a pacer by Harry Gear, dam Lulu N. by Dawn and a three- year-old bay filly by Athadon out of a Junio mare. Charley Clark has a suable full of green trotters two of which he likes especially well. The first is a four- year-old bay filly by the Clark horse, son of Athadon, out of the dam of Cuckoo 2:13 that is an exceedingly nice gaited filly and has shown 2:10 speed. The other is a three-year-old filly by Athaneer, out of a mare by Junio that knows nothing but trot and has shown eighths at a 2:08 gait. Both are owned by Graham E. Babcock. Other good ones in the lot are a four-year old gelding owned by C. A. Swietzer, that has shown a nice turn of speed; a three-year-old stallion by Strathway, dam by El Capitan; and some youngsters by Strathway and Sidney Arnet. Schuyler Walton is pretty busy all the time with a big string of green ones with one exception and that is the three-year-old trotting stallion Athasbam (2) 2:20 by Athadon. 2:27 out of Flora Wickersham by Junio, owned by Geo. S. Warlow. This youngster has broadened out and deyeloped into a grand look- ing three-year-old and great things are expected of him this year. In the Walton outfit is the most promising green pacer at the track and she is called Madona by Athadon, out of Nugget by Nutwood. This mare was worked last fall and showed an easy mile in 2:15 with quarters in 30 seconds and those who have seen her work this spring say she is a 2:06 mare. She is owned by J. M. McKay of Fresno Others in the string that are worth mentioning are Tennahica, a two-year-old bay filly by Athablo; Bobby J. by Senator L., dam Nelly J. by George J.; Teddy J., full brother to the above; a three-year-old black pacer by Howard St. Clair and several green ones by Strath- way and Athadon. A. J. Hudson, Secretary of the old racing associa- tion here and one of the most popular young horse- men, has a very promisin r green one that he recently sent up to John Quinn at Pleasanton, D. W. Cutler owns the good old race mare Kate Ewing 2:17 and will breed her to Athadon this year. He also owns her two-year-old by Arthurton and a suckling by Athablo and thinks they will some day earn their oats. The successful race horse and sire Diablo 2:09} is Btanding at the track in charge of P. W. Strong and is having a good season. He looks strong and rugged, is in the best of fettle and will undoubtedly be ap- preciated here. Mr. Geo. L. Warlow is one of the leaders among the horsemen here both in regard to the number of horses he owns and his ability to hustle for the welfare of the local interests of the breeders. He owns Athadon, that once held the yearling trotting record of 2:27 and haB since developed into a very successful sire; Athablo 2:24J a nice looking big stallion by. Diablo 2:09} out of the famous old mare Athalie, dam of Athanio 2:09J, Athio 2:141 and others and has been doing a big business in the stud with both of these ho'ses. One of the finest youngsters by McKinney I ever saw is Mr. Warlow's two year-old colt Stanford McKinney out of the Palo Alto mare Avena, and if no ill luck befalls him he will surely make a name for himself He is a well made, smoothly turned black colt without any flaws in his make up and is one of the nicest gaited little fellow you ever saw. He has never been trained, of course, but seems to have been born "a trotter" and can show a 2:30 gait with ease. Mr. Warlow also owns the high class three-year-old Athasham mentioned above (2) 2:20, several likely youngsters and a small band of good broodmares from which he expects to raise some trotters worth taking to the races. B. S. McMahan. Good Racing in Arizona. Phoenix, Arizona, March 28, 1605. The postponed St. Patrick's ma. inee of the Phoenix Driving Club came off on the 28th with the largest crowd of the season. There were five races on the program and all filled satisfactory and every race a close contest with remarkable fast time for this season of the year. Our track record was broken, also two territorial records. Boydello 2:14J owned by Hotel BYSTANDER 2:13J BY ZOLOCK Adams Farm reduced the Arizona trotting record from 2:20} to 2:17i, Bystander by Zolock 2:09} owned and driven by J. K. Wheat stepped the two fastest miles ever paced over an Arizona track, Lillian Zolcek, three-year-old, owned by A. H. Davidson, the popular horseshoer, and driven by C. E. Mickens also reduced the territorial record for three-year-old pacers to 2:24. The first race was won easily by Hartwood a son of Ashwood. Race No. 2 was an easy victory for Billy A. with King Clerc close up. Race No. 3 was the star raceof the day as the horses wereevenly matched. Two were grandsons of the great McKinney and the other a son of Sidney Dillon. In the first heat Custer drew the pole but got rather a poor start, Bystander took the lead immediately with Arizona lapped on his wheel the entire mile, Custer overtaking them at the three-quarter pole, flnishiog clOEe up. In the second heat they went away together as a team, but went slowly to the half in 1:09J finishing the last half in 1:05 and the mile in 2:14J. Custer gaining the LILLIAN ZOLOCK 2:24 BY ZOLOCK place as Ar'zona made a short break at the head of the stretch, but all finished lapped together, By- stander winning by a head. The fourth race for green trotters was a contest all the way. Arizona Bess, the favorite in this race win- ning the tirst heat in 2:26J. The next two heats were won by Lobeneere. This horse has only been in Mr. Mickene' stable a short time and this was the first fast work given to him by Mr. Mickens. His fastest mile before this race was 2:32 but Mr. Mickens landed him a winner in 2:25. His owner selling him, after the race, to Judge Edwards of Globe, Arizona, who will race him through the East with Micken6'stable. The last race was won by the gODd Zolock filly, Lillian Zolock, she is a short three-year-old and has only been trained thirty days and stepped the fastest mile ever stepped in a race by one her age in Arizona in 2:24, coming the last half in 1:10 and the last quarter in thirty-three seconds, finishitg at a 2:08 clip. If nothing happens this filly, she looks like a 2:10 three- year-old for Zolock. Summary: Race No. 1— Trotting.

Wallace & Adams gave an afternoon of racing at the Sweetwater track at San Diego on Saturday, March 25th, which was a success. The San Diego Sim says that although the weather was disappoint- ing, a large number attended and everything was pulled off in fine shape. The management has gone to considerable expense in widening out the track and refilling the places that had been washed out by the recent rains and the track was in fine' shape with the exception of being a little slippery from the drizzling rain. Now that the rainy season is about over, the management promises to give matinees oftener than heretofore and a good card may be looked lor a little later. The first race called was the 2:35 trot, and the three trotters started: Mary Chimes, owned and driven by C. T. Chadwick; Andrew Jackson, owned and driven by C T. Chadwick; Andrew Jackson, owned and driven by Thomas Broadnax; and Dorothy Welbern, owned and driven by Warren Chadwick Andrew Jackson won in two straight heats in 2:34| and 2:30. The track was very slippery from the rain or the winner would have trotted in 2:25. The three-minute trot was declared off on account of the condition of the track. A meeting of the San Diego Horsemen' association was held to make further plans for the race meet which is to be held at Coronado race track on May 30, in the afternoon. The order of the programme has not been decided upon yet, but there will be enough to fill in a big afternoon. On the programme will be found the following: 2:40 trot — Best three in five, for a purse of $100, divided into $60 and $40. Green pace — Best three in five, for a purse of $100, divided into $60 and $40. Gentlemen's driving pace— Best two in three, for two prizes; first, a stop watch valued at $50; second, a fine single harnesB. Pony race — J-mile, $50 to the winner. Running race— i-mile, $50 to" the winner. Entries are to close on May 15th, and all entries are to be of horses owned in San Diego county only. The Morgan Blood. An old retired horse breeder who had great ex- perience with horse breeding, maintains that the Morgan blood properly mingled with the Hamble- tonian made the best medium weight general purpose horse he ever knew. In a contribution to the Horse World he says: "Having bred the beBt trotters, I never got as good results as when I mingled the hot blood of True Briton (Justin Morgan) with Hamble- tonian 10 as sireB. This nick gives style,spirit, courage, disposition and always speed. I am retired and look back in retrospection with interest, sympathy, etc , when I observe inexperienced breeders lookiDg for general financial results (and that's all there is to the problem) realizing "lunk heads" as a dividend. A smart (?) young breeder seeking extreme speed for- gets that the Creator long ago determined that the swallow, for flight, had no rival in the turkey buzzard. So let him reflect that Maud S., Lou Dilloo, Nancy Hawks, etc., overcame distance without "pounding" out vitality in combatting the resistence of the elements, with 865 to 950 pounds, season after season, while the 1050-pound fellows soon got out of business. With a Morgan dam you will surely get, if not extreme speed, your stud fee and your money back. As for high action without knee knocking, show me the Morgan superior. Justin Morgan had the variety of hot blood infusion that produced the best when crossed as indicated. 3 Cite gveeaev anb ^ppvt&tnan [April 8, 1S05 <4*M£Z2=*»£>ey3g^g There will be a meeting at Fresno. Woodland will certainly hold a meeting. Los Angeles will open the circuit the first week in July. The Breeders Association will give two or three good meetings this year. Pussy Willow 2:10J by Cibolo 2:134, dam by Stein- way 2:25f is dead. She was in foal to Shea Wilkes. P. M. Campbell, formerly secretary of Oakley Park, has resigned and is now running a hotel in Toledo, O. The Nushagak colts and fillies now in training at Woodland Stock Farm are a magnificent lot of young trotters and a credit to any sire. Among them is one that will beat Aristo's record of 2:08} if no accidents occur. Trainer Jack Kinney has a two-year-old colt at Dover which, last season as a yearling, tretted a half in 1:09, and a quarter in 33 seconds This precocious youngster was sired by Belsire, and his dam is by Bostick's Almont. The three-year-old bay colt, Darlington McKerron by John A. McKerron 2:04J, dam Marguerite 2:14 by Intrigue, being trained at Louisville, Ky , is said to be a very fast colt. He is also a handsome colt, as are all of McKerron 's colts. Send to C. H. Durfee at San Jose for one of those cards containing the tabulated pedigrees of his four stallions In Coronado 2:124, Petigru 2:10J, Almaden (2)2:22} and Galindo, he has a quartette that is hard to equal in any country. It is said that Patronage, now 25 years old and the sire of Alix 2:03}, is being used on the road at Natrick, Mass. Now what enterprising town will be the next to announce its entrance into the circuit. You can all speak at once if you want to. It is now reported that Ed. Benyon will not have Dr. Strong 2:075 but that Dave McDonald will train the grey son of Strong Boy 2:11}. Gazote (3) 2:16}, is working well for Scott McCoy at Louisville, and Mr. McCoy says that he is greatly pleased with the big young trotter. Quality will always bring more in the market than size. The two should be combined if possible, but the former should never be sacrificed for the latter. Rey Del Valle, the three-year-old pacer by Rey Direct 2:10, who went a mile for Dave McClary in 2:07}, will join Ed Benyon 's stable and not raced until next year. Mr. Fred Fanning, in sending us the account of a matinee at San Diego, says harness horse interests in the southern end of the State are better than for years. Sangus has opened six $1000 early-closiDg purses for the meeting July 18-28, horses to be named April 10th. The classeB are 2:15, 2:19, 2:30, trotting; 2:13, 2:18, 2:25 pacing. The Horse Review 810,000 stakes will be again trotted at Cincinnati this year, where for the past two seasons they have been leading features of the Grand Circuit meetings held there. Lord Roberts, the five-year-old soo of Arion and Nancy Hanks, will be seen in two or three races this season He is being jogged every day over the roads around Calais, Maine. The fast and game trotting mare Dolly Bid well 2:084. has foaled a floe bay colt by Bingen 2:06}. She ia owned by the well known breeder, the Hon.T. H. Phair, of Presque Isle, Me. Det Bigelow has a McKinney colt out of the popular old race mare Lucy B. 2:17} by Alex Button that for good looks is a hard one to beat anywhere. He has speed too, and is very promising. One of the greatest roadsters in California is for sale at Dalziels, 615 Golden Gate Ave. A black mare, 16 hands, perfectly sound. Has trooted a mile in 2:13, a half in 1:02|, and quarters in 30 seconds. Many horsemen will make the trip to Dixon on Monday the first day of May to see the races which will take place on the excellent half mile track there. About forty horses are working there now. Mr. W. R. Wynn of 1026 Santa Monica avenue, Los Angeles, desires to secure the present address of Mr. J. E. Hess, that he may secure from him information as to the breeding of the mare Black Swan, The mare Vidette by Alex Button is for sale for $350 by her owner, Geo. W. Kleiser of Portland, Or. Here is an opportunity to get a good road mare that will be suitable to breed to a high-class stallion, as she is the daughter of a great broodmare. Mr. F. S. Gorton of Illinois, who has been visiting Los Angeles, writes the Chicago Horse Review that Coronado, son of McKinney, will be a great sire He says he has seen the few of Corooado's get at work at Los Angeles, and they are all nice-gaited trotters. Our Lady by Neerest 2:22, dam by Anteeo 2:16$, owned by H B. Gentry, Bloomington, Ind., foaled a fine bay colt, star and white stockings, March 18, by the famous McKinney. Our Lady's yearling colt by McKinney is a grand youngster, and is al60 owned by Mr. Gentry. The rains are about over and you will soon want to pump water for your stock, or your horse, or your training track. Call on Woodin & Little at 312-314 Market street, this city, and they will show you the very latest and best in pumps, and in gasoline engines or windmillB to run them. May Day falls on Monday this year, and it is the day of closing for about $10,000 worth of Btakes offered by the Breeders Association. Have some one "wake and call you early, " so that you can make your entries before you go to the picnic. Ben White, acting for S. H Knox, has recently pur- chased from C. C. Van Meter of Louisville, the brood- mare Shadow 2:18, dam of the colt The Phantom, trial 2:14}, which James Butler purchased last fall. Shadow is by Night Hawk, son of Jay Bird, dam Little Princess by Kentucky PriDce. The Wisconsin State Fair Association will offer $27,000 in purses for harness horses for the meeting in Milwaukee in September. The Minnesota State Fair has announced $26,500 for the Hamline meeting. Lee Wells, of Pleasanton, has sold his half interest in the pacer Little Joe by Diablo to J. B. Nightingale of Cordelia The other half interest belongs to Walter Trefry who is training the horse at the Dixon track. Walter Winans of Brighton, England, has pur- chased of C. F. Emery, Cleveland, O., the mare Belle biarr 2:074. She will be a stable companion of Prince Alert 1:594, Fanny Dillaid 2:034, Alta Axworthy (3) 2:104, etc. The Trotting World of London states that Mr. N. Woods, a recent recruit to the European sporting ranks, has offered a trophy for the faBt trotters of Europe. Alta Axworthy (3) 2:104 is mentioned as a possible starter. The big trotting gelding Dextress by Dexter Prince, dam Jessie M. by Electioneer, grandam by Wild Idle, in Guy Dee's stable at Glenville trade, is expected to bi the goods this year. He was bred at Pulo Alto - id is a fast trotter. The dam of Dextress and the nm of Lisonjero 2:08}, last season's good trotter, are : ..11 sisters. John Dickerson will have a string of about fiftee11 horses at the old Charter Oak track at Hartford, May 1st, and that the best of them may be rigged just right when he starts them in Grand Circuit races, he has sent out to California and had a couple of sets of the best track harness by John A. McKerron of this city. The International Stock Food Farm, Savage, Minn., reports the following foals: Brown filly by Dan Patch 1:56, dam Maud, dam of Martha Marshall 2:06}; a brown colt by Belsire 2:18, dam Twinkle, dam of Gor- don Prince 2:05J; bay filly by Dan Patch 1:56, dam Reveline by Online 2:04, and a black filly by Dan Patch 1:56, dam Waterloo Girl 2:16}. Toomey Bulkie6 are known the harness horse world over. They are what their makers claim for them and hold many records. The special light, low seat pneumatic speed cart, built for track use is juBt about the neatest and most comfortable cart to ride in. O'Brien & Sons, corner of Golden Gate avenue and Polk street, are agents for the Toomeys. The fast pacer, Allendale 2:16 (w) by Falrose, owned by C. R Moody of Cleveland, has wintered in fine shape and should be a good horse this year. Allen- dale is a fast horse, but this climate did not agree with him last year, as he came over from California early and was not acclimated. He has been jogged all winter and should be good now. — Sportsman. The State Agricultural Society will purchase from Sacramento county a ten-acre strip of land adjoining the new State Fair Grounds, the same being necessary to make room for the mile track and necessary build- ings It is thought the track can be completed by August 1st, which will give a whole month for it to settle and put in shape for the races to begin Sept. 2d. Horsemen all over prediot that it will be a much faBter and better track than the old one. At Nice, France, Feb. 16, the Prix d'Amerique, of f6000 (about $1200), was won by the ten-year-old Faisan III., who took the first and third heats in 2:44 4-5 and 2:45. Woodcourt, twelve years, won the second heat in 2:44 — the distance being about 1 1-5 mileB. Faisan III was bred in France, but sired by the ex-American Cash 2:26}. Woodcourt is American- bred and by Pawnee 2:26J. Belle Kuser 2:08 won third money, being 3-2 in the last two heats. Mr Geo. A Warlow, of Fresno, owner of the two- year-old colt Stanford McKinney by McKinney, dam Avena, says he may not race him this year, but if he does, Dr. Tuttle, of Washington, will have to go some to beat him with the Zombro filly he said he woul o. beat Mr. Warlow's colt with. Mr. Warlow says he really thinks Stanford McKinney is the fastest and b~st gaited two-year-old he ever owned and he has had a few pretty good ones as the records show. The fact that the State Fair will open on Saturday, Sept. 2d, will probably lead to the previous days in that week being unclaimed by any association, as in California Saturday is considered one of the best days, the largest gate receipts being obtainable on that day. From present appearances four or fiye two-year-old trotters by Nutwood Wilkes will enter the standard list this year, if they are raced, in addition to a half- dozen three and four year olds that can beat 2:25 already. There seems to be better than 2:30 speed in every foal by the sire of John A. McKerron 2:04|. As was stated last week, by request of nearly all the owners and trainers in California, the stakes for the Breeders meeting have been reopened to close May 1st. At a meeting of the Board of Directors held Thursday afternoon the 2:18 class trot was changed to a 2:17 class trot, which was also done at the request of a number of owners. It is not every pacer or trotter that is offered for sale that is worth the price asked, but the mare Bridal Rose, owned by Peter Fryatt of Woodland, and for which he asks $1000, is "the goods. " Sheis by Falrose and is five years old, stands 164 hands high and weighs 1200 pounds. She has worked a mile in 2:24, last quarter in 32 seconds— a 2:08 gait. She did this as a three-year-old. Bridal Rose is a beauty, is well bred and will be a 2:08 pacer in the right hands. Payne J. Shatter was down from Olema this week reports that his two-year-old trotter by Monterey 2:09}, dam Lady Fallis by Rafael (son of Fallis and Stockton Maid by Chieftain) second dam the great broodmare Pastime, dam of Secret 2:26} by Rustic, is doing well and now stands very close to fifteen hands high. Mr. Shatter expects this two-year-old to fol- low in the footsteps of its illustrious ancestors, but to keep ahead of tbe dust kicked up by everything else. We have always been told that when a horse falls down the proper thing to keep him from kicking is to sit on his head, but in one of the London courts the other day a judge, of the name of Addison, condemned that as a very foolish proceeding and said the proper thing to do when a horse is down is to take hold of his ear and keep his nose up in the air. He said: "A horse cannot kick when his nose is in the air; I have Been a lady keep a horse quiet that way without soil- ing her gloves. " Secretary Horace Wilson of Lexington, Ky., has arranged the following list of early closing events for his October meeting: Transylvania, $5000, for 2:12 trotters; to be named Sept. 11 McDowell. $3000, for 2:09 trotters. Tennessee, $3000, ror 2:08 pacers; starters to be named Sept. 11. Walnut Hall Cup' $3000, for 2:15 trotters. Stoll, $2000, for 2:19 trotters, Johnston, $2000, for 2:24 trotters. West, $2000, for 2:19 trotters. Kentucky, $2000, for three-year-old trotters. Lexington, $2000 for two-year-old trotters. Wilson, $2000, for 2:20 pacers. A real old-fashioned sweepstakes is proposed on behalf of the cracks of the Philadelphia brigade. Walter S. Hine and William Hughes are willing to be one each of Bix Belmonters to put up $500 each for a race between Antezella 2:104 by Anteeo, Marion Wilkes 2:08} by Hawthorne Wilkes, Dan T. 2:07} by Crawford, Wilque 2:09| by Queecby, Wentworth 2:08 by Superior and Francis B. 2:104 by Alcamedia. Con- ditions to be mutually agreed upoD, with the excep- tion that the money be divided 60, 30 and 10 per cent. Gate receipts to go for the benefit of Belmont Club. Mr. Abe Straus has the proud distinction of being the oldest dealer in the ranks who ships fine coachprs to New York. He is the dean of the fraternity. He is a Vermonter and always tells with great reli6h a little story at the expense of his Kentucky competi- tors. He went down to that State and picked up a likely pair; be brought them up to Lexington where they were looked over carefully by three or four buyers, one of whom took them on a two weeks' trial at $400. They were rejected, Abe drove them around on a buying tour, gave a little extra attention to their toilet, came back and sold them to the same man for $1500. Thus Vermont got even with Ken- tucky. Many of the leading breeding farms in the East work their colts on a half mile track, the owners be- lieving that a good half mile is better than a poor full one. An Eastern journal says: "William Simpson, millionaire broker of New York and proprietor of the Empire City Farm, eight miles from Cuba, has pur- chased the George H. Eldridge farm of 100 acres just outside the village corporation. Mr. Simpson is a breeder of fast horses and owns the famous trotting stallion McKinney, which he purchased for $50,000 last fall. The farm is a desirable property for Mr. Simpson, as he intends to lay out a one-half mile track on it and erect suitable buildings. McKinney will be brought here. Fred Simpson, son of the new owner, liveB here and will take charge." It is impossible to disassociate the feeding and diges- tion of horses from the question of their teeth, as beyond all doubt many animals Buffer greatly from dental troubles and lose both health and strength therefrom It is to be recommended, therefore, that if a horse goes off his feed, and no sufficient reason can be produced, his mowth should be tbe subject of a careful examination by somebody who is competent to undertake the duty. Even in the case of horses where there is no suspicion that there is anything wrong with the teeth, a periodical inspection will frequently reveal tbe fact that attention is required, and a very simple operation at such a time will obviate much suffering and trouble later on. As a consequence it may be repeated that habitual neglect of the condition of his horse's mouth is a rather serious sin of omission on the part of the owner.

With the Old Campaigner. [Kentucky Stock Farm.] "I notice that the secretaries are offering purses governed by new and novel conditions this spring, " said t be Amateur as be finished reading the last ad- vertisement in the turf paper he had snatched from the hands of the postman before any one else had a chance at it. "For my part I am pleased with such evidence of progress. It looks as if we might be able to finally adopt something in the way of a racing sys- tem that will be satisfactory to all concerned." "Perhaps," said the Old Campaigner. "And again, perhaps not. Maybe they will keep on until they get a system, and the necessary conditions, that will re- quire that every nominator hire a lawyer to interpret them. Ben Kenney says he has seen some conditions already this year that have about run him to the law shop, and t guess there are others. However, I agree with you that we are making some progress, and it pleases me to know that tbere are not nearly so many people now as there were ten years ago who believe that the only way to race trotters and pacers is to start a contest on Monday and get through with it by Saturday night, if possible. That ancient system is responsible for a whole raft of fool things. Under its reign has grown up the protracted scoring which we all love so well that not a tear would be shed if the authorities adopted and enforced a rule requiring the starter to say 'go' the first time down. It is responsi- ble for the delays which causa the starting judge to say to the audience: 'We crave your indulgence for a few moments; one of the starters in this race ha6 a broken boot.' It has made quite respectable that vio- lation of the rule which is known as laying up or going easy heats. It has brought all kinds of woe to the trainer and has made cripples out of thousands of horses because they could not stand the long and gruelling preparation. But it has done some good, for it has brought a host of prominent trainers around to the belief that short, snappy racing is best for all concerned, especially horses. Geers, Benyon, Hudson and Kenney, a quartette that will do to tie to, say that the two-in-three plan is. good enough for them. Which is something important, for every one of the four was as successful as could be when the only sys- tem of racing was the one under which a race might be over in three heats and could run to a dozen. Hudson told me the other day that if all the track managers would adopt a short system of racing the horses could not only be made ready much earlier, but would last clearthrough the season, whereas, Bhapicg them up for long races puts them out of it early in the game and quite frequently fixed them so that they can not get back the same year But that's all been threshed over until the flail is worn out and while it has done some good it don't appear to have done quite enough. Tne boys will all be out for the money this year, just the same as they have been in the past, and nothing the tracks can do will be bad enough to keep them at-home. If ever there was an example of keep- ing everlastingly at it the trotting horse trainers and owners have furnished it. Sometimes I think they must like it, and sometimes I find myself trying to figure out whether it is just a disease that men get and can't get rid of. Guess it's due to some sort of microbe that the scientists have never yet found a way to kill. And if I had my way I would oppose the killing. There is something refreshing and en- couraging in the way the trotting horsetrainer buckles down to his work every spring and tries, and tries, and tries, with material that may shoot the chutes any old day with a new brand of lameness or no-ac. countness that can't be cured. No matter how tough his luck may be this year, the first chirp of the robin next spring will awaken him to the duties of the oc casion and cause him to hubtle a few old, or young, hides together and begin to hunt up the best shipping route to the first town in the circuit. Every winter the owner scrapes around for new horses, the hope ever uppermost that out of the scraping will come one to turn out a real crack-a-jack. And after all, while there is precious little business to the horse business, it's no worse in its results than are a whole host of things that are called real business. You win and they all talk about your ability and horse sense. You lose and a few will knock but a whole host will dig up enough excuses to keep you in the humor to try again. Scott McCoy fays it's a rich man's game, and Scott is right. But every game and every business is for the rich man, these days. All there is in anything for a poor man is to hustle. If every man in the horse business was a rich man ( I mean every owner) I'd rather be a trotting horse trainer than anything else I know of. The trouble is that too many men become horse owners on limited capital. Which, also, can be said of grocery stores, drug stores, hotels and what not. But in some way or other, the trotting horse boys manage to keep the financial sun shining. They race to any system the track managers hand up; they pay the entrance fee demanded, no matter how great the burden; they get a big stoek of disgust on hand every racing season and get sick enough of their calling to feel like hiring out a*, section hands, but the gentle spring time finds them at it again, with all the vigor and rainbow chas. ing of youth. So I guess the rest of us needn't worry whether they race dashes, limited heats or the all- week system. You can't keep the microbe from work- ing, and reports from the big training tracks indicate that he has a strangle hold on as many of the boys as ever he had." _ Took Halt a Horse by Force. Pleasanton, April 5.— his taste for the mules of the tow-paths were after- v .rds a useful political asset. Chester A. Arthur intalned a handsome stable of carriage horses in Washington, impelled thereunto, it is said, by the ex- ample of Attorney General Brewster, who had one of the finest stables and coach houses Washington bas ever seen. Grover Cleveland would have needed an elephant if he had wanted a saddle horse, and was personally not a horseman, though, as became a York State man, a great admirer of trotters in the abstract. President McKinley could neither ride nor drive, but he bad a woman's taste in horses. He loved them for their beauty and what ladies called "sweetness, " but had no idea of handling them or making them vehicles of pleasure or utility. President McKinley was a great admirer of the gaited saddle horse, not for his gaits, but for his beauty. The beautiful heads of Randolph Huntington's Clay Arabs so caught his fancy that he gave $7000 for a pair of them. They were pretty, about the head and eyes, though decidedly lacking in harness horse conformation, pleased the gentle eye of the dead Chief Magistrate and he gave an enormous price for them. President Roosevelt has all of the educated breeder, show horseman, speedway driver, cross-country rider and soldier's knowledge of what horses should be. No preceding President had anything like the wide knowledge of horses. The Presidents from Washing- ton down to Jackson were all soldiers, fox -hunters or country gentlemen. A type of horse resembling the hunter was their favorite; that was about the only horse they knew or had any particular use for. But President Roosevelt is different. He knows the points and breeding and usages of every horse from the Shetland to the Clydesdale. The President's favorite mount is the hunter Bleistein. This animal isqualified in the National Hunt Club Association, a bay horse, 16.1 in height, black points and quite up to carrying the President's two hundred pounds over five feet six of solid timber. Bleistein has never been known to stumble or fall and the Executive's life is as safe on his back as it is in the rocking chair in the White House. Another hunter, Renown, is a brown horse, 16 hands high, and quite as good a jumper asBleistein. Renown is the horse which the President was riding in that equestrian picture jumping over a fence, so familiar to American newspaper readers. Last month President Roosevelt took Renown and Bleistein to join the Brandy wine Hunt and cnased foxes over the Mils where the Colonials chased the British some one hundred and twenty years ago. The citizens of Wyoming recently presented the President with a chestnut horse called after the State from whence he came. In Wyoming they call him a saddle horse. Among horsemen of the East he would be called a mere horse with hunter qualifications. He is neither a gaited nor walk-trot horse, but is really a range animal who can canter like a cayuse. The President likes to ride Wyoming and uses the range saddle on him, whereas on his hunteis be uses the orthodox English saddle. The President looks very well in the cowboy saddle; he presents a splendid appearance on horseback, but is a little too stout to be called a graceful equestian. However, he knows how to ride, either on the boulevard with a gaited saddler, on the road with the range horse Wyom ns, in the park with his walk- trot ana canter horse, or across country with his hunters: he has the correct seat, hands and motions for horses of each description. On his rides about Washington the President is attended by Con McDermott, a cavalryman. With all due respect to his Excellency, he is not the grace- ful figure on horseback that his soldier attendant is. McDermott is the beau ideal cavalryman. He rides with the straight body and long stirrup of the United States soldier and is simply part of his horse. He has all the daring of the Irish foxhunter, though his busi- ness is simply to follow the President. It is rather an amusing thing to see President Roosevelt start on a cross country gallop. In addition to McDermott he is usually followed by several bicycle policemen; that is, as long as he maintains the road. But when he gets to a nice place for a gallop the President will wheel his horse, go over the roadside fence, followed by McDermott, but not by the bicycle policemen. The riders of the iron steed must stand in admiration while the President, McDermott behind him, dashes across the fields, over the fences and through the ditches, over fallen trees, across washouts, creeks and through the woods just as they come. It is safe to say that at tbose times Con McDermott would not change his $13 a month job in the United States army for any other position on earth . The President likes to go on long rides and nothing suits him better than a good, hard relay ride such as the pony express men were wont to make io the old days in the West. His last ride of this kind was from Laramie to Cheyenne and his horse, Wyoming, made the last twenty miles of this relay. The President made the seventy miles in eight hours, was quite fresh at its close and rode thirty or forty miles the next day. While at his summer home at Oyster Bay he thinks nothing of riding forty or fifty miles any morning or afternoon and like Western horsEmen would just as soon ride at night as any other time. The Presidentis not only a hard rider, but a thorough horseman, whoknows allcowbuys' and soldiers' tricks of caring for and nursing a horse when in hard sei vice. He was a great polo player in his youth and still re- tains his favorite polo pony, a Texas bred animal named Diamond. This little horse is twenty-five years old and is a pensioner at Oyster Bay. The President has not forgotten that this little animal carried him in many a hard-fought polo game. In his carriage horses the President likes the Hamble- tonian strain of trotter, his favorite pair are Indiana bred. President Roosevelt has a thorough know- ledge of the Hackney and the French and Oldenburg coach horse, but says he wants the speed and dash which the trotter alone possesses. Always the companion of his sons, it is to be expected that the Roosevelt boys should possess their father's taste in horses. They do. His oldest son. Theodore, lays claim to the President's Western horse, Wyoming, and rides him when his father is not using him The small boys, Archie and Quentin, have a Shetland pony between them, a piebald, named Algonquin. The boys ride the pony through Wash- ington and are very fond of him. Miss Alice Roosevelt very frequently rides her father's horses, the hunters, to hounds at the Chevy Chase Club. She is a fearless and excellent horsewoman and it is said not even Miss Holloway is a better cross-country rider. Mrs. Roos- evelt is not the wild rider her husband and children are, but she is not a bit afraid of fences. She rides a Kentucky-bred mare, very largely thoroughbred. Mrs. Roosevelt very frequently is her husband's com panion on his rides. It may be of interest to ladies of cross-saddle inclination to know that tne first lady of the land uses the side saddle exclusively. She wears a short-skirted English habit and Derby hat. The President dresses in English fashion, barring that he always wears a slouch hat. He wears yellow riding boots and breeches made after the English fashion, whether ridingin American or English saddle. Though an admirer of the thoroughbred in the abstract, President Roosevelt cares nothing about horse racing; however, when he was Police Commissioner in New York he liked nothing better than to drive a fast trotter and an excellent handler he is, too. The Work Horse's Shoulders. ■When spring's work is first begun the shoulders of the horses are apt to get sore and when a horse has 6ore shoulders his usefulness is impaired in propor- tion to the severity of the injury says the Breeders' Gazette. The man who neglects to take the proper precautions is simply inviting a monetary loss just as surely as if he threw paper money into the fire. The first thing to be gained is that the collars shall be of good substantial make and that they shall fit aright. If the collar pinches it will gall the flesh and skin wherever it nips. If it is too loose the draft will come on the wrong place, tome place not designed to accept the pressure, and sores will soon make their ap- pearance. If the collar does not fit at the top, that is if it is too tight or so wide that it wobbles, the horse will be subject to much suffering. We doubt if it pays to use sweat pads, though we all know that their use is almost universal. If a horse loses flesh very greatly it is well enough then to fill out his collar, so to speak, with pads, but if a good-fitting leather collar is kept clean and smooth there is no reason why it should be cumbered with pads. The collar should at all times be kept smooth and hard on the side which touches the neck. If scurf and sweat and dirt are allowed to collect on the bearing suface it will surely gall the neck. It is often well to wash the neck thoroughly on coming home at night in strong brine. Some good farmers omit the brine altogether, using water hot or cold, the idea being to get the necks quite clean and free from foreign matter of all sorts. One old and successful farmer who seldom bad a sore-necked horse made a practice of anointing the neckB of his horses with a strong decoction of white oak bark during the cropping season aEd for about two weeks before the horses were put into heavy work. He said that toughened the skin and results certainly bore out his statements. » From time to time there are items in various papers about some one having a "trotting" or "pacing" ostrich. It would be interesting to know how these bipeds are taught to "trot" and "pace," and in what way does their run differentiate from the alleged trot and pace. Possibly 'the "Memphis shoe" and the "Indiana pajamas" cut some figure in the modus operandi. — American Horse Breeder. The Caffrey Carriage Company has gone into the hand6 of a receiver. This is one of the oldest sulky manufacturers in the country. It is said that the assets of the company are more than twice as large 88 the liabilities. APRIL 8, 1905 1 ®ft£ gveeiiev cmt» ^povtsman 9 A New Breeding Industry for the State. Since the inception of the California Polo and Pony Racing Association a large number of wealthy gentle- men in this State have become very much interested in the breeding of the requisite ponies for the twin branches of the sport of polo and pony racing; ALTHOMER amongst the more prominent of whom may be mentioned Mr. Rudolph Spreckels the President of the Association, C. W. Clark of San Mateo, F. J. Carolan of Burlingame, W. S. Hobart of San Mateo, produce in future years will make for the California thoroughbred pony a world wide reptuation. At tbe head of his stud he has Don Adolfo a son of Imported Crichton, dam Miss Lou, herself a great grandaughter of the famous Voltigeur the great conquerer of Fly- ing Dutchman. Miss Lou also carries a strong strain of the famous Lexington. Don Adolfo despite the fact that he was burdened with a supposed hoodoo in being numbered "13" in the Association Stud Book has proved in addition so his qualifications as a sire to be a race pony of great merit, he having been placed first four times, second twice, third twice, and having only run once unplaced in his total starts; amongst other fast ones he is the sire of Becky whom when in the humor and with a track to her liking is probably as fast a pony of her inches as there is. in the world today, she having defeated the world's champion Silver Dick. Don will divide his stud duties this season with Royal Flush a sire recently purchased by Mr. Spreckels. Royal Flush is by Three Cheers dam Rosette and though well under 14 hands 2 inches was a good race horse at all distances and won many races here in the palmy days of the old Bay District Track ; his get resemble him in size. Those by him already raced are all winners, and the dash of the Newminster and Touchstone he carries, will surely beget stoutness and high weight carrying abilities. Mr. Spreckels also has another stallion in Cougar who on his sire'a side is almost an owo brother in blood to Royal Flush though only just above the pony limit in height Cougar has rare bone and substance. All these stal- Here's a Thinking Mare. Farmer William H. Ellis, of Bloomingburg, N. Y., owns a little white mate, calling her Whitefoot. Every schoolday morning Whitefoot hauls Mr. Ellis' two little girls in a wagon to the scboolhouse, a mile from home, and after leaving the children there the DON ADOLFO little mare turns around and trots back to her master's house without any driver. When the school closing hour approaches Mr. Ellis hitches Whitefoot up and starts her off alone for the schoolhouse and in MR. RUDOLPH SPRECKELS' STABLE OF RACING PONIES Reading from left to right the horses are Lotrix, Cheerful, Honoma, Cacahadte, Brown Peggy, Hopefdl, Althomer and Don Captain McKittrick of Bakersfield and Mr. W. E. Pedley of Riverside. Possibly to Mr. Rudolph Spreckels of this city be- longs the honor of having at the present time the largest number of thoroughbred racing ponies in the world, that gentleman having no fewer than fourteen in training during the racing season of the C. P. & P. R. A. just ended. In addition to the racing string he maintains a very large stud at his country home in Sonoma county having there over thirty mares of undoubted lineage though of lilliputian size and whose lions are chestnut in color and are remarkably level- headed and free from all vices. Honoma, a chestnut daughter of Homer out of Noma, was until recently holder of the association records »t four and five furlongs respectively. Cheer- ful is by Ruinart out of Kaiserin and though she stands only 14 hands 1 1 inches we hardly think that for pure blood like symmetry she leaves anything to be desired. Althomer by Homer dam Altivo is another charm- ing filly who by her numerous victories has well earned her summer's rest; amongst others who have carried the "all cerise with green fleur de lis on back" are Hopeful, Lotrix, Cacahaute, Brown Peggy, Becky, Lady Gay, Maud H, Pat, Peghome, Fretful and Joyful. Mr. Frank Skinner has piloted many of the winners though Messrs. R. M. Tobin, Chas. Dunphy and H. Marsh have also dismounted from the ponies they rode in the much desired "winner's circle." Mr. Ray Mackay, the Australian amateur, too was successful on the first occasion of his donning Mr. SpreckelB' racing livery. At Sobre Vista Mr. Spreckels has a completely equipped modern race track, training grounds and stud farm. All of the appointments are of the most up-to-date description and with their pleas ant environments and the constant care and attention bestowed on them by Mr. J. Moore the head trainer and stud groom who has been in Mr. Spreckels' ser- vice some eight years, we predict a long continued, series of record-breaking alike on the track and in the Bale ring. In future articles we will publish photographs of the leading ponies in the studs and racing stables of Messrs. Carolan, Clark and Hobart. due time she comes back with the little girls. She is so careful an expert in passing vehicles on the road that she never has a collision or damages her harness. Recently Mr. Ellis' hired man drove Whitefoot over to Middleton on his way to New York. Before em- barking on the cars he tacked a piece of paper on the wagon seat containing this notice: "Don't stop this mare. She belongs to William H Ellis, Blooming- burg, and will go home all right," and then turning the mare's head homeward, he let her go. Sure enough she covered the distance, a long nine miles, in safety and at a pace that brought her home in about an hour. — Farm Stock Journal. cheerful 10 f&he gvee&ev txnft giyortsroan [April 8, 19(5 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

For complete and interesting details to those who intend to take an outing trip this seaBon, the hand* some phamphlet issued by theCalifornia Northwestern Railway is lull ot information about mineral resorts, cam1 -log spots, private homes in towns and hundreds of farms where summer boarders are taken. C iples of Vacation can be bad at No 650 Market sir at, Tiburon ferry, foot of Market street or at the • pan y's general office, Pacific Mutual Bldg., San- lii^jand California streets. Hundreds of anglers from this city were at favorite trout fishing resorts last Saturday and Sunday. General results, however, were not favorable to large catches. One reason for this, aside from high water and muddy conditions of many streams, was the crowds congregating at certain brooksides. On the Paper Mill creek last Sunday, for instance, there was at least 300 ambitious trout fishers, most of whom fished down the creek from various points upstream, working finally down to Point Reyes. At the latter resort seventy rod-wielders were counted on Friday evening intent on having a whip at the ade waters and upstream pools early on Saturday morning, the opening day, many of whom were experts in con- traventing the wiles of the trout, returned with nice baskets of fish. The Laguinitas, Nicasio, Olema creek and other tributaries of Paper Mill were also well patronized, particularly so on Sunday. The streams further up the road in Napa and Sonoma counties were also visited by a large number of fishermen. The angle worm, fresh shrimps and salmon roe were tbe mainstay of the fishers in getting their, fish. A few trout were taken on the spinning spoon and a number of fish were caught late Sunday afternoon above the county road bridge at Point Reyes with the fly. The Paper Mill was going down on Sunday at the rate of an inch an hour. It is believed by several expert anglers that good fly fishing would be enjoyed in the creek about the middle of this week. Aside from the custom of many anglers to be at the waterside on the opening day of the season — a matter of much sentiment among the fraternity — the know- ing knights of the split bamboo will wait until tbe waters are lower and clearer. The grand circuit will open about the middle of this montb. The itinerary followed by the experienced angler is as follows: Klamath river (Shovel creek and vicinity, where there is always good trout fishing), the Big Meadows, Upper Sacramento and the McCloud, the Truckee, the Sierra valley lakes, Lake Tahoe, Independence and Webber lakes. The schedule will give, could one afford the time and expense, a period of about five months' trout fishing that cannot be equaled on the Coast. A trip to Santa Cruz or San Mateo county can be sandwiched in the program almost any time. On the Paper Mill last Sunday it was a race along stream from early morning until late train time. Many seekers of fish scrambled through the brush on the banks, scaled the bluffs or splashed through the stream, each vieing with the other for position 8. Tbe main results were that the frightened fish hid securely. Bert Spring, who is an expert angler, was fishing a pool in the tide waters near the Point and had caught several fish. His success was observed by the priva- teers, and in a few minutes nearly a dozen lines were cast into the pool. All sorts of tackle was in vogue. Some enthusiasts used handlines and heavy sinkers big enough for rockcod fishing. As an illustration of the possibilities for good early fishing, one knowing angler caught a basketful of nice six and seven inch trout in the creek that runs through Mill valley. The fish were landed and ex- hibited in triumph before the commuters of that picturesque village had read their morning papers. Reports from San Jose state that the second day of the open season for trout, Sunday, found hundreds of novice fishermen scattered along the various creeks of the Santa Clara valley, with now and then an ex- perienced angler who worked patiently and finally landed his game. Steven's creek and the Llagas seemed oo be the most favorable for trout Sunday, as ma-iy were thelimit baskets landed from their waters. Hundreds of San Joseans took an early start and crossed over to the Pescadero and other streams be- yond the Santa Cruz range. Taking the advice of local authorities the crowd did not cross the valley to fish in the Smith's and Santa Ysabel creeks. Many took the Interurban cars for Los Gatos and worked their way up and down that stream until they found that there were few trout to be had in the main stream, so they shifted their rods to the tributaries, with better success. The Guadalupe was favored with a moderately large crowd during the morning hours, but the fishermen all stayed below the mines. As many picnics were held aiong the banks, the efforts of the anglers were not very successful. One of the nicest baskets of fish taken was caught by Mr. W. J. Golcher, who drove over from San Jose, to Smith's creek. He caught the limit, the fish run- ning from 8 to 12 inches in length and being in the finest condition. A dispatch from Halfmoon Bay, San Mateo county, last Monday states — Although the streams were still high from the rains, the opening of the trout season found many enthusiastic anglers ready to test their skill with the rod. Many fishermen went to La Honda to whip the streams in that vicinity, and, although fishing wiil not be at its best for a few weeks, interest in tbe sport is now keen. There will ba good fishing in a week or ten days in the Alpine and La Hooda creeks, as all the streams of this country have been well guarded by the fish and game commissioners this year. Trout are plentiful, particularly at tbe headquarters of San Francisquita. In the Pescadero Lagoon large schools of salmon have come in from theocean and excellent fishingis assured^ their way, most interesting objects for an angler's inspection. One reel, a No. 2, shows that it was made in 1839 by B.C. Milam at Frankfort, Ky. It has a longcylinder, without the drag, has a strong click, is 50 yards capacity and is made of German silver. It has evidently been much in use and is ld good serviceable condition today despite it was made sixty-six years ago. A No. 1 reel, made of brass apparently, with but faint traces of the original silver plating still remain- ing, has a capacity of 25 yards, about thesame pattern as No. 2 is also in shape for good work on the stream. This reel was made in 1852. The third reel a No 3 made in 1883, isin good order also and has the added distinction of havirg gone through the Southern Holel fire many years ago in St. Louis, it yet shows several traces of the fire. This reel is of German silvtr, has a click and drag and is of 75 yards capacity. The line is wound around five small rods instead of about the cylinder as usual. These reels are worthy of a few minutes overlooking. Alongside of these veterans in the show case is a fine collection of high grade Milam reels. If the new reels are built on the same lines as the old, and we believe they are, they are reels most worth owning and using. The Sportsmen's Show. Delighted crowds of appreciative visitors have thronged the Mechanics' Pavilion during the week taking in the many sights at the show of the Pacific Coast Forest, Fish and Game Association. One of the features of principal interest to sports- men is the fish exhibit. Fourteen large glass tanks contain many specimens of fresh and salt water fishes. The trout collection includes— Steelhead or rain- bow trout, Dolly varden, cut throat, Loch Levin, Mt. Whitney golden trout, etc. In oonnection with the salmonidaeis to be seen a minature fish hatchery. During the week several thousand eggs were hatched, the process being eagerly watched by a number of interested observers. The California Fish Commis- sioners supplied the above mentioned part of the fish exhibit. Black bass, two varieties, striped bass, and a lot of other fishes are also to be seen. None the less interesting are the live specimens of Mexican quail, a bird that was recently introduced in Southern California by liberating specimens secured recently by Deputy Fish Commissioner H. T. Payne and Mr. E. A. Mocker. AT THE TRAPS. Tbe California Wing Club live bird club shoot for April is the card at Ingleside tomorrow. In the store of Clabrough, Golcher & Co., on Market street are to be seen three Miiam reels that are, in The Empire Gun Club regular monthly blue rock shoot is billed for tomorrow at the Alameda Junction trap grounds. A feature of the shoot will be the second 18 man team shoot with a Union Gun Club team. The Empire shooters will pull off a big merchandise shoot in September. The April club shoot of the Golden Gate Gun Club at Ingleside last Sunday was attended by thirty-two shooters. Weather conditions were ideal and good averaging scores were the rule. In the club race at 100 targets, 80°0' of the entries ;n the champion class scored 90% and over. E. L. Forster was high gun for the day with 95%. The club added purse of $100 was distributed among the following named shooters in the order given: Champion class, five moneys — E. L. Forster, M. O. Feudner, A. J. Webb, E. Holling and E. Schultz. First class, five moneys — Mr. Green, F. Schultz, Lee Harpham, W. R. Murdock and F. W. King Second class, four moneys — H. Klevesahl, A. M. Shields and H. P. Jacobsen. Th.rd class, four moneys — B.

The prizes will be medals and trophies to the value of over $2000, and the local club will also add purses from $1000 to $2000 in cash. The association membership consists of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, British Columbia, Montana, Utah and California sportsmen and will be open to trap shooters residing in this territory. In view of the fact that all transportation companies will make round trip reduced rates to the Lewis and Clarke fair, which will be held in Portland this summer, it is expected that the tournament will be the largest ever held in the West. Programs will be printed and ready for distribu- tion about the 20th of May, and Secretary A. J. Winters of Portland will be pleased to mail a copy to any shooter desiring one.

Much enthusiasm prevailed and much good shooting was done In the club medal shoot the winner proved to be J. Gusto, who will henceforth this season shoot from the 18-yard mark, to keep Monte Newbert company. Just a new shot, David Ruhstaller, made good with an 80 per cent average for the day and a 90 per cent average for the ten target events. A summary of scores follows: At ten targets — J. W.

Mr. Watson writes us that he is offering good dogs, and by the way he is well and favorably known to many Coast fanciers, and will send out a winner at many shows for as low as $125 and up to $250 for Rascal. He has some good bitches also at very reason- able prices. In fact Mr. Watson can fill an order for several of the top notchere, in this country or across theses; further information can be obtained by mail or telegrrm to tne address given in the "ad." The Santa Lucia Rod and Gun Club pulled off its first regular club blue rock shoot at their grounds last Sunday afternoon near Santa Lucia, Monterey county.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM. LOS ANGELES SHOW. The Southwestern Kennel Club show will be held in Los Angeles next month. The dates claimed are May 17, 18, 19 and 20. The club has made application for A. K. C. membership and the show will be held under A. K. C. rules, so it is reported. The Los Angeles show last year was a great success in point of enthusiasm and attendance and will no doubt be none the le9S so next month, with the added agreeable feature of a decidedly larger liBt of entries. James Cole of Kansas City was the judge last year, we have not yet heard who has been billed for this year's ribbon disbursement. SPECIALTY CLUBS WORKING HARD. The Collie, Bull Terrier, California Cocker, Pacific Fox Terrier and St. Bernard clubs are exerting every endeavor for a fine showing of the respective breeds as well as an extra strong list of attractive specials. EASTERN COLLIE BITCH COMING. Mr. McEllery is following the bent of his fancy in getting some good ones. His latest purchase is the Collie bitch Gladys May (Anfield Prince ex Lady Augusta). May won first puppies, first for exhibitors breeding, first Westminster Stake and silver medal for best American bred bitch at the recent New York show. NORTHERN SHOW JUDGES. Major J. M. Taylor will judge all breeds at Van- couver, B. C, April 12-15, it is reported. Mr. E. N. Barker, of New York, will make the awards at Victoria, B. C, April 19-21. James J. Lynn, of Port Huron, Mich., has been engaged for the Seattle Dog Fanciers' show, April 26-29. Mr. Ashton will also judge at Portland, Or., May 3-6. IRISH TERRIER NOTES. Borthwick Kennels announce the chance to get some good Irish Terriers on page 19 of this issue. These dogs and bitches have carried the Borthwick banners to the front on the EaBtern circuit and according to Mr. James Watson, and he is a reliable authority, they cando some winning on the Coast. At all events here is a splendid opportunity for new STUD BOOK FOR 1904. The American Kennel Gazette announces that Volume XXI of the A. K. C. Stud Book, for last year, will be ready for distribution and on sale at the office (55 Liberty street, New York) by the last week of this month. A volume will be expressed to all associate members who are entitled to the same. This com- prises all members who have paid their dues for the year 1904. Those joining since January 1, 1905, will not be entitled to the volume, but to the succeeding issue (1905) Volume XXII, which will be published in 1906. Volume XXI contains 7395 registrations comprising the numbers from 78,563 to 84,963 inclusive. Fanciers desiring to purchase a copy, can secure the same by writing to Secretary A. P. Vredenburgh. A DISTEMPER CURE. Craft's Distemper and Cough Cure is a medicine that is fast becoming a favorite and efficacious remedy used for distemper in numerous kennels. Testi- monials from many points show that the specific for this disease has saved puppies time and again. The remedy is not a new one by any means, but has been on the market for many years and has given universal satisfaction. It is sold by all druggists on the Coast. There is one advantage in favor of the buyer and that is the medicine is always fresh, there being a regular and constant demand for it. This is more than can be said of the many stale compounds labeled "dog remedies" that are to be found on druggists' shelveB throughout the Coast. 'FRISCO SHOW. The premium list for the S. F. K. C. show came out early this week. The c'assification embraces 266 classes. There is a full classification for the following breeds — St. Bernards, rough coats; Great Danes, Pointers, English Setters, Irish Setters, Irish Water Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, Collie6, Bulldogs, Bull Terriers, Bostons, Dachshundes, Fox Terriers, smooths and wires; and Irish Terriers. There is a new class, at least five classes provided for Welch Terriers, a breed somewhat unfamiliar to the Coast fancy. The list of specials offered is a fine one — the breeds most abundantly taken care of are Collies, Cockers and Fox Terriers, the specially clubs having worked hard for a strong list of prizes. We note, with some surprise the absence of anything in the way of specials for Bull Terriers, however, this may have been an inadvertency as the announcement is made that many prizes were received too late for publication, a full list will appear in the catalogue. Another omission, or departure from custom, is the non-announcement of what constitutes the regular prizes. Premium lists, entry blanks, and all information relative to the coming show can be obtained at No. 630 Market street this city where Manager H. H. Carlton can be found from 9 a. m. until 5 p. m., or at the office of the Breeder and Sportsman. ANOTHER ONE STOLEN. We regret to note the hard luck handed to Mr. Wm. Bay by some unscrupulous thief this week Kitty Kelly, the crack Irish Water Spaniel bitch he recently purchased from a Vancouver kennelB, is among the missing and the earmarks of the case point to a deliberately planned theft of the bitch. Efforts by Mr. Bay so far, for recovery of his dog, have been unsuccessful. TO A CORRESPONDENT. The communication recently received by the Kennel Editor from "A True Friend" is appreciated at its full value and all information on the lines intimated is in- vited as early as possible. We will request, however, the identity of the writer before seriously considering a proposition, which has only the merit of scurrilous malevolency. In connection with the subject matter trenched upon we will 9tate that the exposures of dishonesty and rascality will be continued in the interest of buncoed individual fanciers and for the purity of general dogdom. The officers of the Seattle Dog Fanciers' Associa- tion are: C. W. Sharpies, President; F. A. Pontius, Vice-President; Arthur Murphy, Treasurer; Charles McAllister, Secretary. Premium lists for the show next month can be ob- tained at the office of the Breeder and Sportsman or by addressing Mr. Chas. McAllister, City Hall, Seattle. Entries close April 19th. Phil Wand has had the additional bad luck to lose a handsome puppy by Ch. Stylish Sergeant out of Ch. ELloree. The pup was evidently stolen. Prior to his disappearance the little Setter had his tail amputated by a passing street car. James Moreland , who likes a Collie and has had some good ones in our shows, has recently returned from an Eastern trip. VANCOUVER SHOW. Entries close for the Vancouver show on April 8th — we find it so announced in the premium list issued by the Vancouver Kennel Club. There will not be another W. K. L. show held in California, it is reported. We are curious to know what action would be taken in enforcing the recent sweeping disqualifying Pacific Advisory Board resolution should the Seattle Kennel Club hold its show under C. K. C. rules instead of W. K. L rules. The shift may be made. The Santa Clara County Kennel Club will not hold a show until fall, if at all. The reason given is that the time now was too short to prepare for a good showing. SUCCESSFUL PHEASANT BREEDING. A year ago Dr. F. C. Sutliff, of Corning, after a great deal of trouble, succeeded in getting a few pheasants shipped here from Pennsylvania for breed- ing purposes, says the Sacramento Bee. He vainly sought beforehand to obtain the birds on this coast, but being unable to do so had them brought from the Quaker State at considerable expense. Being an enthusiastic fancier, the doctor took great delight in the birds, and by careful breeding has increased his flock to about 100 very choice specimens. Realizing from the rapidity with which the pheas- ant breeas that he would have to find a market for the surplus game birds, he advertised the sale of a few, and now has far more orders than he can fill, both for the old pheasants and for eggs. True to his sporting inclinations, the doctor, who is a member of the Fish and Game Protective Associa- tion, has liberated a number of the pheasants along the river, believing that they will soon multiply and afford excellent sport for the gunner. With the dis- tribution of pheasants over the State, it will be only a short time, in all probability, until tbey become quite plentiful, as they multiply far more rapidly than quail, and are a much better game bird. The variety of pheasant mentioned above is not given. As to the successful introduction of the birds generally throughout the State, we doubt it. They will thrive in favorable territory, it is true, but such conditions do not exist everywhere. 13 ©tte ^veeiiev ani> §*pxivt&man [April 8, 1905 Duck Hunting on Chesapeake Bay. Three methods of duck shooting are in vogue with tho Chesapeake Bay gun clubs. There is another, and outside method, which will be considered by itself. Tho club methods are decoy shooting, point shooting, and bar shooting. Decoy shooting is done from a blind situated at the feeding ground of the ducks, on the shore line, or at the outer end of a causeway from fifty to eighty yards long. The gunner is concealed in a "box." sunk in the meadows or water, provided with a bench-seat, and, sometimes, with a small stove to furnish warmth in very cold weather. The box has a water-tight cover to keep It dry In unusually high tides. The garb of the sportsman may be cloth or leather, according to his fancy, but it must be warm and as nearly straw oolor as possible to harmon- ize with the surroundings, for the duck as a rule, and the canvasback in particular is a close observer, and any discordance of color will send him away from the blind with the speed of a high-powered projectile. The decoys, or ''stools" which are wooden, or metal, or rubber counterfeits of the ducks, are anchored about the blind so that they will attract the attention of the ducks from afar. Considerable skill, acquired only by experience, is required in placing the decoys. Ducks, as a rule, fly against the wind, and on coming to decoys, first go by, then make a circle and round up to leeward before alighting. The proper way to place decoys is to trail them out at right angles to the shore, so that they will be visible a long way off, and bunch them near the blina. The birds, after circling, will, as a rule, light near the bunch of stools, in easy gunshot of the blind. The Eastern canvasback, however, does not stool well. He is too wary. He flies higher than the ordinary duck, and, after circling round, takes a more careful survey of the surroundings. If anything is out of keeping with the natural appearance of things, he is off like a shot. The hunter must be properly clothed, with only his eyebrows above the rim of the box, and must keep absolutely still until the duck "sets his winds'' — that is, makes ready to light. If he moves a moment too soon, the game is gone before he has a chance to pull the trigger. An almost indispensable ally of the gunner is the Chesapeake Bay Dog. This breed is a liver-colored, thick-coated dog about the height of, but somewhat thicker than the average Setter. He lies behind the blind without a movement save of the eyes, or occas- ionally of the head from windward to leeward. Nine times "out of ten he will see the ducks coming before the hunter, and often willgive the latter warning by a subdued cry. He never moves until the hunter has discharged his one or two guns, and then he goes for the wounded instead of the dead birds. Without command or hesitation, he plunges into the icy wator, and, ignoring the dead birds, makes for the wounded. These will dive at his approach, but they will not elude him. While they are under water he swims around in circles, watching for their reappearance. As soon as they show up he makes for them again. They dive once more, and he repeats the same tactics, often, If the water be rough, rising half the length of his body above the waves to survey the field, ready to pursue the bird in whatever direc- tion It goes. An instance is known in which one of these dogs pursued a wounded goose, in freezing weather and in the teeth of a north west gale, for miles, until it was finally given up for lost, but yet returned with the goose. There is much uncertainty as to the origin of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever as they call the dog in that section. The negroes of Maryland have a tradi- tion that it is descended from a cross between the otter and the Newfoundland. That Is manifestly absurd, for two distinct species will not mix. A more plausible theory is that advanced by a member of the Carroll's Island Club of more than thirty years' stand- ing, ex-Mayor Latrobe of Baltimore. According to M r. Latrobe: "Many years ago a vessel from Newfoundland ran aground near an estate called Walnut Grove, on the shores of the Chesapeake. This estate belonged to Mr. George Law, a member of a well known Maryland family. On board the ship were two Newfoundland dogs, which wore given by the Captain to Mr. Law in return for kindness and hospitality shown to himself and his crew. The beginning of the Chesapeake Bay Dog was a cross between these Newfoundlands and the common yellow and tan colored hound, or 'coon dog,1 of that part of the country." That Mr. Latrobe Is mistaken a superficial examina- tion of the famous Retriever will suffice to establish. There is not the faintest suggestion of the hound in his anatomy. Bis head alone, to say nothing of his coat, is a sufficient refutation of that supposition. A. 1). Foulke of Che iy, in an account written for I i many years ago, and qui hold Burgee in T ' , says the Chesapeake Bay Dog is a orOBS between the English Water Poodle and the Newfoundland. This la more reasonable, yet. If it be true, must raise tho question — What has become of the Newfoundland? That the animal la a genuine water dog Is proved by his coat. This is an outer covering of long, coarse hair and an inner coat, next to the skin, of verv fine, oily f'ir. That the water never penetrates that fur explains his extraordinary ability to withstand cold. All things considered, It Boms likely that the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a i rota between the Water Poodle and tho Water Spaniel. rmni shooting differs from decoy shooting merely In tho location of the blind on a point In the line of flight habitually followed by the ducks, and the use of fewer decoys. The ducks are not expected to stool, but a few decbys are put out to draw the flying birds closer to the shore. In bar shooting the blind is placed upon a bar across which the ducks fly to and Irom the feeding grounds. No decoys are used. The ducks fly in the early morning and late evening, and better on windy and stormy, than on quietdays. For the morning shooting the hunter must be early in the blind, for the ducks are on the wing with the first streak of light. Rubber boots are always essential, aDd waterproof covering generally so. In point and bar shooting heavy guns are used, as the ducks are not to be had at close range. Over the bars they fly high and around the points at long dis- tances. The favorite weapons are 8-bore double, or 4-bore single guns, with ch rges of No. 1 orNo.2shot. For decoy shooting a 10-bore double gun is generally used with No. 3 or No. 4 shot A fourth method of shooting, practical generally on the lower Chesapeake, is from the "sink-boat." Thi6 is a rectangular float, showing little above the surface of the water, with a depression in the centre just large enough to accom- modate the body of a man. The sink-boat is anchored on the feeding ground and surrounded by from 150 to 200 decoys. The hunter lies flat on his back, with a pillow under his'head and two double-barreled 10-bore guns across his legs. Dogs are not used in sink-boat shooting. Bushwhacking is the recourse of the pot or market hunter Two men work together. Numerous decoys are placed on the feeding grounds A large flat- bottom skiff, containing the two men, is anchored abouta hundred yardsfrom thedecoys. One man, with two guns, sits in the bow; the other man, with one or two guns, in the stern to manage the boat. When the ducks light among the stools, they temporarily lose their heads in surprise or indignation at the counterfeit presentments The boat is then noiselessly sculled to close range and both men shoot the ducks upon the water as fast as they can. Bushwhacking has had much to do with the decrease of the canvas- back in that hunting ground. There are many clubs along the Chesapeake, and every location affording advantages for shooting has longbeen pre-empted. Thebest known is the Carroll's Island Club located at the mouth of Gunpowder River on theupperpartofthebay. It is more than a century old, and has included many noted men among its mem- bers. At the present time the majority of its members are New Yorkers. The club season opens November 1 and closes March 31. The Carroll's Island Club has its own stock of Rstrievers, which it has bred for generations, and from which strain has been bred dogs on Currituck Sound and even on the Pacific Coast. In the records of the club are preserved the names and feats of many famous dogs which have had their day. Most of these clubs limit the shooting to three days per week. The best known resort for duck shooting on the Lo-ver Chesapeake is Havre de Grace, at the mouth of the Susquehanna. The Ragged Island Club is the most notable of Currituck Sound. TRADE NOTES. THE GUNS OF 105G AGO. What has become, it has been asked, of all the fine old guns made by the crack gun-makers during the last century? One after another they have been superseded by new inventions. Yet all the time the work has been of the highest quality, and the decora- tion often most artistic. A write" in the Country Gentleman says: We recently saw two single-barrelled flintlocks — lb-bore, perfectly balanced, and, no doubt, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of partridges every year in the hands of the top hatted sportsmen, their owners. The double-barrelled flintlocks that followed them are now quite as scarce as the single barrels. Moreover, the period of the double flintlock was shorter than that of the single, for the percussion cap cut its career short. Someiimes a single flintlock had two hammers, one on each side, which fell to the pull of one trigger. This was to ensure the ignition of the charge against a misfire. The "copper cap" guns, In the times of the second Manton and the first Purdey, were splendid sporting instruments. We have before us now a double John Manton — not "Joe" — which is as good a piece of work as a gun could be. It is light, yet solid, 12-bore, perf-ctly balanced, and truely bored. The ramrod is ebony, tipped with gun-metal, or rather bound with it, at the large end, and capped with it at the small end, the cap unscrewingand uncovering a sharp screw with which to draw the wads, if the gun were undis- charged. The hammers, of beautiful design, fit very amply over the cap and nipple, so as to prevent the cap from flying, as this sometimes caused the ioss of an eye. They are in the shape of an elaborately modelled dolphin. There is a safety-bolt below the grip, which prevents the gun going off unless the hand is on the grip and squeezing it, as it naturally would before pulling tbe trigger. The stock is more the color of mahogany than of walnut, and we incline to think that it is mahogany root, or from a very curly stem. The case is fitted with duplicates of all parts except the stock and barrels and main locks, and with elaborately carved whistles of ivory, cleaning apparatus, machines for holding caps, punching wads, and tbe like. It is a 6plendid killer, the pattern for penetration and evenness being first-rate. AVERAGES REPORTED. Shrewsbury, Pa., March 7th, J. M, Hawkins and L J.

Mr. Heer's longest, run for the tournament was 307. F. A. Weatherhead of Red Oak, la., won the L. C. Smith cup with 40. straight, using Du Pont. W. D. Stannard of Chicago won the cup for the Expert Average to be shot off for by those who broke 94% or better during the tourna- ment, with 50 straight, shooting Du Pont. Mr. Heer and Mr. Crosby were second with 49 each, shooting New E. C. (Improved). C. B. Adams of Rockwell City, la., won the Second Average cup for the 90% to 94% men, breaking 47 out of 50, shooting Infallible. F. H. Lord of Chicago won the cup for those who shot below 90%, breaking 42 out of 50, shooting Du Pont and E. C. The Handicap Event for the Iowa State Sportsmen's Assn. badge was won by N. W. Layman of Des Moines, la., 48 out of 50 from the 19 yard mark, shooting New Schultze, and tied with Fred Gilbert who stood at 22 yards. On the shoot off at 20 targets, Mr. Layman 'broke 23 to Mr. Gil- bert's 22. Mr. Gilbert had a run of 157 straight, Mr. Crosby one of 147, and W.' D. Stannard one of 104. "U. M. C." WINS AS USUAL. The regular monthly shoot of the Golden Gate Gun Club was held at Ingleside on Sunday, April 2, 1905. The day waB one of singular perfection, and the out- look and situation of the grounds were even more noticeably beautiful than usual. It is doubtful if anywhere on the round globe a shooting ground could be found to compare with this at Ingleside. There were 32 contestants at this meeting. The absentees were all anglers, who availed themselves of the opening of the trout season. Of these 32 who faced the traps, 26 were users of U. M. C. "Magic," "Acme," and "Majestic" shells, thus repeating the old story, which before long we can write "ditto" under, and save ink anr* space. The high average for the day was won by Edgar Forster, with the invincible combination of a Reming- ton shotgun and U. M. C. ammunition. The winners in the champion class were Forster, Feudner. Webb, Schultz and Holling, four of whom used U. M. C. shells. In the first class were Greene, F. Schultz, Harpham, Murdock and King, four of whom were users of U. M. C. shells In the second class the winners were H. Klevesahl, Shields and Jacobsen, all using U. M. C. ammunition. In the third class were Patrick, Harvey, Johnson and Cuneo, three using TJ. M. C. shells. Thus 14 of the 17 winners were users of TJ. M. C. goods. WHAT IS ITT A new fishing rod, made by a Philadelphian, is built upon the principle of a trombone, or pump gun. The reel is operated by sliding a hand grasp on the bull of the rod. Tho sliding grip operates in both directions, but revolves the reel only in winding up tho line, and a thumb lever forces the reel when a made. It requires both hands to work the iboveand the other below the reel. The whole construction of the movlog parts is of brass. Strike!— if they don't give you Jackson'sNapa Soda wber you ask for it. WINCHESTER RECORDS REPORTED. The account of the shooting done by Dr. E. P. Gleason, of Boston, sounds very much like the best professional shooting, but Dr. Gleason is a simon- pure amateur. On March 27th, in the match between the Boston Athletic Association and the Yale Gun Club, he scored 48 out of the possible 50 and had pre- viously made a like score in practice. He then went with the B. A. A. to New York for the match with the Crescent Gun Club, March 28th, where he made a new record for the Crescent Club grounds, shooting 110 tsrgets straight. In the two days' shooting, he broke 347 out of the 360 targets he shot at in compe- tition. Dr Gleason always uses the Winchester "Leader" shells, which perhaps explains his good work at the traps. The shoot at Des Moines, la., March 14, 15 and 16, developed some of the most remarkable shooting seen for a long time. W. R. Crosby, (King William) and Fred Gilbert each made a straight run of 200. The experts high average for the tournament was won by W. D. Stoddard, who in the shoot-off for the Champ- ionship High Average Cup, scored 50 straight Mr. Stoddard, as well as Messrs. Crosby and Gilbert, shot the Winchester "Leader" shells primed with tbe New Winchester No. 4 primer, the shell that holds all the world's record's at both live birds and inanimate targets.

APRIL 8, 1905] ®txc gveebcv cms gtpovtsman THE FARM. The Cream Separator. Farmers' Bulletin No 201, entitled "The Cream Separator on We6tern Farms," is one of the most interesting publications j of the past year. Jnst at the present i time a great many of our readers in | creamery districts are seriously consider- ing the advisability of purchasing hand separators and we suggest to each one of them that he send to the Department of Agriculture for this bulletin. The par- ticular point we note in this bulletin is the explanation of the difference between profits under the old system and under the new. One of the moat important of which is the value of the Bkimmed milk for feeding purposes. We publish some extracts from the bulletin which will in- terest all milk producers, suggesting that our readers send for the bulletin entire. The change to the home separator proved a means of reducing the cost of hauling, in time or money, to one cent or less per pound of butter fat. This differ- ence in cost between the two methods went into the farmer's pocket. The re- sult was an increased interest in the business and greater receipts at the creameries. One of the great drawbacks of the old system was the serious loss in the value of the skim milk The long haul to the station and the long haul home consumed from five to eight hours, and often more. When the cans of skim milK were de- livered at the patron's door, the milk was usually in bad condition, and the calves that were forced to drink it were in a worse Btate. The skim milk was one of the things that never failed to bring out a 6trong argument a.ainst the dairy busi- ness Wise ones often filled the dairy paperB with articles about how to feed skim milk to calves successfully, but these wise ones didn't live at the end of a 12- mile route, where they had to feed the article as it was delivered to them, after being from eight to ten hours on the road. It was a common story that skim milk killed the calves and pigs, and not worth hauling home. This was probably much overdrawn, for it was very difficult to buy any of the skim milk at the factories. It was not so good as it should have been, but it was needed and recognized as in- dispensable by every farmer. The intro- duction of the farm separator, however, wrought a great change. In visiting hundreds of farmers who are using farm separators, the writer has not heard one word of complaint on thescoreof the skim milk.

Men who would never consider the matter under the old system have been convint ed that, with a separator at home, they can raise good calves. Many authentic instances are on record where the farmer has sold from one-fourth to one-third more butter fat from the same herd after buying a separator; not that he did not get pay for all butter fat that he delivered to the creamery when he hauled milk, but because he did not deliver all the butter fat to the cream- ery. The skim milk was coming back from the creamery in condition unfit for the calves. New milk was fed them in- stead. This happened often, with the result that the calf was eating butter fat worth from 15 to 20 cents perpound when an equal amount of corn-chop worth about two cents per pound would have served rlmoBt as well. When the farm separator was bought, the calves were weaned earlier from whole milk; in fact, many of them got no whole milk at all. The Dutter fat was sold. Then, again, many who hauled their own milk had to quit for a while in the busy season. They could not spare a team to take the milk in. When they bought a separator, the children, with the old family horBe and cart, delivered the cream as regularly in these buBy seasons as in any other. Under the old system occasionally a can of milk would sour and be returned, and Sunday's milk could hardly ever be kept over. With the separator this never occurred. Thus many farmers were very much surprised to find their monthly checkB from one-fourth to one-third larger than they had been before. There is also less expense, on the whole, attached to the cream system ; therefore the farmer secures larger net returns for his butter fat. When the separator was purchased, the farmer found he could just as well milk a. few more cows. He had plenty of cans; he did not have to spend a half day delivering the milk; and, besides, the separator had to be paid for. The result has been an increased number of cows on the farm and a corresponding in- crease in income per farmer all over the territory under consideration. — Ex chanqe. m The best sheep corrals used in feeding are constructed of fence panels held to gether by wire, with posts set at regular intervals These permit the construc- tion of the pen in any shape desired and can be moved quickly and easily by two or three men. These corrals are built so the sheep have long, straight runways, between which spaceB are left for the purpose of hauling hay, or sections of the fence are set in zigzag manner so that the sheep do not have a runway of great length, for Mexican lambs particularly are active and if allowed will take too much exercise and retard fattening. These movable fences are generally three boards high. The lower board is ten inches in height with a seven to nine- inch space between it and the second board, through which the sheep puts its head in eating hay, which ia scattered on the outside of the pens on the ground, as experience has Bhown that with the best of feeding racks more hay is wasted in using them tba 1 when the forage is fed on the ground. The butter product of the United States, according to official figures, exceeded last year 1,500,000,000 pounds. The number of dairy cows was ten million, showing that the average cow produced only about 150 pounds per year, or about three pounds per week, which ia hardly a good return for the care and feed. The average cow certainly is not a remarkably good paving proposition, and in order to bring the figures as low as they are a great many of the cows must yield less than three pounds per week. lean Trottii Register PUBLICATIONS.

Select carefully which Ton will make your choice, mat ine individuality the supreme test, uo carefully over their extended ped.greee, examining records of dams and indi- viduality as far as possible of both ..res and dams. Notice whether the s.res have daughters of merit and the probab e proportion of such daughters to the whole number sired; also whether thed.ni. have produced one or more such daugh- ters. Choose the bull with the best all around average and don't stand out for a matter of *50. more or less, when you have found what vou need. But be sure to get a bull Pedigrees are all right in their way, but a pedigree without a bull is a poor investment. Look carefully to your dams, correct- ing the effects in their progeny of their defects in individuality or performance of the bull with which you Feed the dams well while loose. If ©h* gvee&ev cwo sportsman L APRIL 8, 1915 by means mate them pregnant, keeping the bowels possible, get them entirely dry sixty days Wore calving. Tbey will then milk better the ensuing year. They will alio drop better and stronger calves, and a calf well born is part raised. Feed the little ones on whole milk tor two or three weeks till they begin to nibble at hay and wheat middlings then add skim milk gradually till at five or six weeks old the last of the whole milk is withdrawn. Feed the calves well that thev may develop properly, keeping an good feeding till they have reached their maximum growth as cows. The abilitv to make use of food profitably measures the diSerence between the pure bred and the scrub. Never mind if the yearlings do show up nice and plump, for if dairy bred they will not become beef animals. When thev calve heredity will assert itself, and ibey will rapidly drop into true dairy crm. It is the law of nature that like will produce like, and you can't readily turn a dairy bred heifer into a beef cow noi a genuine scrub into a thoroughbred. 'Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?" m All the creameries and eome milk deal- ers discriminate against brewers' graine tor the reason that milk produced from them is of inferior keeping qualities, has an objectionable smell and taste and often causes digestive disorders among those who consume it. This is true only when the grains are fed in excessive quantities and are more or less decayed. Dry grains and fresh wet grains fed in moderate j quantities produce milk to which these] objections do not apply. The danger is from wet grains which are commonly kept in boxes or pits, where they are likely to decay. The dry grains of beBt quality are of light yellowish-gray color and have a faint aromatic Bmell. It is self-evident that a cow in full flow of milk must have a plentiful supply of water. Milk on an average is about eighty- seven per cent water and a good cow often gives fifty or more pounds of milk daily ; therefore to supplv water for the milk and the animal economy also she must drink from eighth to twenty-four gallons every twenty-four hours. The condition of much water drank by our dairy cows is simply abominable. The only wonder is ttiat the cows survive, as well as the con- sumers of the milk. Dust Boxes, Necessary. It is necessary to provide dust boxes for the fowls during the winter months if tbey are to be kept free from lice. Ifthe soil in the yards is naturally dry and porous, abundant opportunities will be had for dust baths during the warm summer months, but during the late fall, winter, and early spring some artificial provision must be made. A compara- tively small box will answer the purpose if the attendant is willing to give a little attention to it each day. These boxes should be placed so that they will receive some sunshine on each bright day, and be kept well filled with loose fine earth. Road dust procured during the hct, dry months of July and August from much- traveled roads has no superior for this purpose. Probably there is no way in which the poultry man can better combat the body louse than by providing duBt boxes for his fowls. o growing A Beven-pound pullet at six months old is a good weight for a grade Plymouth Eock. and I have Been lately a number of pullets of this kind and weight. The far- mers c n make good money raising grade stock in this weight at present prices. But you can make more money from full- blood pullets. Sorghum makes a fine food for cows, either green or dry, but needstohefed in connection with some nitrogenous focd such as clover or alfalfa hay. Bran or oil meal fed with it makes a good ration. The fancy cheeses are demand, and the industry should receive more attention. The cheese is made in kettles now manufactured with Bteam connection. The curd is cooked at a high temperature, and a large waste of fat takes place, which in the better equipped factories by passing the whey through a separator or is hand skimmed. The cheese requires from Beventy-five to a hundred days for curing. First it is put in a cellar with a temperature of 65 to 70 degrees, next in a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees and finally in a temperature not above 60 degrees. It is a sweet milk pro- duction yet there are certain ferments apparently demanded for developing its flavor, and especially the eyes for which it is noted. The milker haB much to do with mak- ing a good milk cow or an inferior one Heifers should be milked carefully to within a few weeks of calving, however small the amount of milk given. Young cows should be kept up to their full capacity for eight or nine months after coming fresh. They should form the habit of giving all the milk they are capable of making.

Or A calf dropped in October or November and fed warm, fresh Bkim milk from the separator, with the addition daily, of a spoonful of blood meal, a pint of oats and a little alfalfa hay, will make a much better growth in 200 days, than if born in the spring. This is largely due to six months' exemption from the torment of flies. It should be added that the calf must be kept perfectly dry, clean and comfortable, which is not a hard or ex- pensive thing to do, under the right method. All this adds much to the value of winter milk.— Hoard's Dairyman. o Sober up on Jackson's Napa Soda. $ I OO REWARD for any case of colic, curb, splints, contracted or knotted cords, recent shoe boils, splints or callous that cannot be per- manently and positively cured, if directions are followed, by TUTTLE'S ELIXIR.

Venus, the dam of Sidney Dillon, was the dam of Cupid 2:18, who produced we.l; Lady Bunker, the dam of Guy Wilkes, was the dam of Wm L., sire of Axtel, and El Mahdl 2:25^5 and Declaration, who were each tne sire of several good ones: Dolly, the dam of Director, was the dam of Onward 9:25 tf and Thorndale 2:22, both of which were great sires. The above sires, the sire of this colt and the sires of the first, second, third and fourth dams, have each produced one or more world record holders. They have also produced many others who were the gamest, the most levelheaded and the largest money winners in the trotting world. The first four trace in the male line to Hambietonian 10 through ancestors which, in each and every genera- tion, have been the best producers of their day and have been better producers than their sires or grandsires. In DILLCARA'S pedi- gree there are six crosses of Hambietonian 10, each of which goes to him through only the best producing lines, and five crosses of Mam- brino Chief, each of whiohgoes to him through dams that have been extraordinary producers. Individually, this young stallion, DILLCARA. is as good as h's pedigree. He is of the stout, blooky type, without coarseness and he is a superb model of his type. He has excellent trotting action and a great degree "f natural speed. He has never yet been in the haodsof a trainer, his owner preferring for stock purposes a sire that has never been raced and has enjoyed freedom from the nervous and physical strain of severe drilling and racing, expecting that as a consequence the produce willbe more valuable. Mated with well-bred mares by McKinney. Director. Direct and Nutwood DILLCARA'S produce should be as valuable as could be obtained for racing and breeding purposes. DILLCARA will make the Season of 1905 at some place near San Francisco, not yet decided upon. Limited to well-bred mares.

IF TOU ABE, BEAD THIS: We wish to call the attention of those interested In Draft Horses that we are fully determined to close out our Stallions in the next four weeks. In color they are mostly blacks— a few dark greys, One of them a five-year old. Weight 2100 pounds. One of the finest w& Imported has a fine, smal head and throat latch, very short in the back with a draft middle; is clean in the limbs and has been very much admired by all who have seen him. We have two other dark greys that are very much admired on account of quality and size. In our collection of thirty head of Stallions the first sales were greys. We have one dark bay with black points, no white; coming four years old, weight 2050 pounds. We will guarantee him to weigh at maturity 2400 pounds. He is much admired for his fine head and throat latch and short back. His limbs are flrst-olass and in proportion to his body. These Stallions are not like some other breeds that we have with the thickest r-art of the neck at the top end. They have size, quality and endurance. We have quite a number of black stallions, four and five years old, weighing from 1900 to 2000 pounds Their good qualities are too numerous to men- tion. They are as ''flne as peaches," with fine head and throat latch and very clean limbed. We never had a barn of as good Stallions at any place as we have at present in San Jose. These Stal- lions are ready any day for service. People say that there is at present the brightest pro3peot for good crops in this country that has been for years. Wny will not the farmer improve his horse stock and also the prosperity of the com- munity In which he lives? We now have twenty head of good Stallions to select from. C. F. Singmaster, the senior member of the firm, has been in San Jose for the past five weeks and is proud to say we havehad extremely good suocess in making sales. Have met with only two fail- ures in making sales, and that was sometime ago when people were a little afraid of drouth. We expect the parties to come back now any day, as we have had line rains and prospects for the farmer and stock raiser never were b3tter. Intending purchasers will do well to come soon and see our stockof horses, and we are very sure they will go home with a good Stallion. Where they pay cash we make a liberal discount. In our next shipment will be some good registered draft mares. MANAGER FOR Singmaster & Sons' San Jose Branch 127 St. John Street, San Jose, Cal. FIRE ONE OF THE GREAT COMPANIES OF THE WORLD.

STALLIONS ADVERTISED. ideal, be sure of their breeding and then 6end them to the very best stallions of that breed that can be found and which have the qualities you wish to repro- duce. The different types of horses have been built up for different purposes, and are the result of many years of study and effort. Don't imagine that in one cross you can improve on any one of them by mixing" the breeds. It can't be done, although men have lost fortunes and will continue to lose them trying todo it. The Hackney is a good horse in his place. So is the French and German Coacher. The standard bred xrotting horse is the best all round horse in the world and these are trotting families that have coach horse conformation and qualifications A new breed that will be ideal may be obtained by mixing the blood of these breeds, but it will take at least fifty years of constant breeding to do it.

ECUADOR Henry Wheatley, Napa GREEN'S RUFUS The Baywood Stud, San Mateo A QUESTION submitted to this journal by several of its readers during the past few weeks that is a difficult one to answer, is whether it is advisable to breed trotting mares to French Coach, German Coach, Hackney or Standard Trotting stallions, if the aim is to produce carriage horses. We shall assume that every person who has asked this question has in his mind the type he desires to produce. If his mares are of that type, or near it, the question naturally arises, where did they get the qualifications? It is not likely any of our questioners are thinking of breeding a common plug mare to any stallion no matter how high class with the expectation of getting a Sue carriage horse. The day has gone by when breeding ventures are started with scrub stock. Having a good mare, however, one that has some of the qualifications desired, ascertain if poss'ble the source from whence they came. If her breeding is known it will be easy to ascertain which of her an- cestors she looks like. If she resembles her dam, breed her to a stallion of the dam's strain of blood that has the same qualities. If it is from her 6ire that she inherits her good looks, style and action, breed her to a horse of the same line of blood that suits your ideas. If she is a trotting bred mare, she must have inherited the qualities she possesses from ancestors of that breed, and to mate her with a coach stallion of another breed would not be advancing. If she has a preponderance of French coach blood in her, pick out the best French coach horse you can find to mate her with. If it is of German coach blood hunt up a German horse. Always Insist however that the horse you mate your mare with is pure bred. Never breed to a cross-bred horse If you want to establish a type, as while a foal may result from such matings once in a while that is just what one wants, the general result is bad. Breed up all the time. Get your ideal fixed in your mind, select your mares according to that THE HORSE-MEAT EGG will no longer be a portion of the daily breakfast in California. For years past old and decrepit horses have been shipped to Petaluma fro_n all parts of the State consigned to a crematory that made a specialty of furnishing cooked and dessicated horse flesh to poultry raisers. The crematory business waB a good paying one as the price paid for an old horse was not over $5 and in addition to the price received for hide, hair and teeth, the cooked horse flesh more than paid the expenses of butchering and cooking. A law passed by the last legislature and signed by the Governor has made it a misdemeanor to feed horse flesh to chickens, and the Petaluma egg will no longer sug- gest to the partaker thereof that he may be eating a nutrient that can be traced to the same old Dobbin that has carried him on his back a thousand times. FUMES from the Selby smelting works at Crockett on San Francisco Bay, are said to be the cause of the death of many horses pastured on the hills near that big establishment. Quite a number of horse owners who have lost animals recently have had autopsies performed by veterinarians and if it is found that the deaths were due to the grass being poisoned by fumes from the smelting works suits will be com- menced against the Selby Smelting Company. As no other animals but horses have been effected, however, and cows and goats are pastured on the same lands where the horses have died, the probabilities are that autopsies will show that the deaths have resulted from other causes. A Word tor Harness Racing. Victoria, B. C, April 4, 1905. Editor Breeder and Sportsman — I have read the article in the last issue of your paper relative to the new organization of light harness horse racing at Los Angeles, California, and I can assure you that the reading of that item gave me much pleasure. Los Angeles is the most ideal place in the world to train race, and breed harness horses. The Agricultural track is one of the best and safest tracks in America. The people of Los Angeles love harness horse racing; the people of Los Angeles detest grafting on their race track, cinch bookmaking, touts and all the graft- ing propositions that heretofore did so much to make grass grow on so many race tracks. I hope that since the best class of business men in Los Angeles have seen fit to take up the harness horse amusement enterprise that the business men of every town and city in California, Oregon, Washing- ton and British Columbia will get in line, assume con trol of their race tracks and conduct the harness horse racing proposition just as they do their own mercantile business. Harness horse racing, when properly conducted, is amusing to the public, and what is more healthful than to sit in a comfortable grandstand on a pleasant day and watch and enjoy good fields of harness horses contesting either for money or glory. People pack theatres full from orchestra to garret in poorly ventilated buildings at fancy prices and go home late at night with head- aches. Men pay high prices to see hippodrome prize fights, cruel dog and chicken fights, when horse rac- ing, the most exciting and health givirg of all out door sports, might more easily be enjoyed I hope to see it become the most popular and best managed of all amusements. Yours truly, C. A. Harrison. Chance to Sell in Chicago. Monroe Salisbury will take a carload of horses to the big Chicago HorseSale to take place at the Union Stock Yards in that city May 8th. The horses already engaged are consigned by Geo. A. Davis of Pleasanton. There is room for several more, and here is an opportunity for owners to take advantage of the present good condition of the market in Chi- cago. The Chicago Horse Sale Company, of which Palmer L. Clark is president, is a thoroughly reliable institution. Its last sale was the best ever held in the West Chicago is one of the best markets in the world for harness horses at the present time. Angle for the M. & M. For the first time in the history of the trotting turf it is announced that a horse known to be capable of a mile around 2:05 will be started in the slow classes through the Grand Circuit, writes Henry Ten Eyck White. Angle, a daughter of Axtell, is the trotter in ques- tion, and the statement comes from Cleveland where she is owned and trained, that the chestnut mare will be named in the M. &M. stake at Detroit, which means that she will be campaigned. She will be fitted and driven by George W. Saunders, who has had Angle in hand for about a year, she having been purchased in the spring of 1904 by Calvary Morris of Cleveland, and turned over to Saunders when she came North from Selma, Ala., where she had been wintered. In the fall of 1903 Angle was trained at the Lexing- ton track, and during the trotting meeting at the Ken- tucky town showed some pretty fast miles for a "green" horse, there being no doubt at that time of her ability to sfep the distance around 2:10 A short time after that the news was sent out from Lexington that Angle had trotted in 2:06|, and it was after this sensational work that she was sent south for the winter. When the mare came into Saunders' hands it soon developed that she would be better for a thorough education before being raced, and all last summer and fall she was handled solely with that idea in mind. That she had a lot of speed en tap all the time was evident from the first time she was given her head, and by July there was no doubt about her being the making of a 2:05 trotter if only her speed could be utilized D:rectly following the Detroit meeting there was a matinee at Cleveland and that afternoon Saun- ders drove Angle a public half mile in 1:00 J, she being jogged from the wire to the half mile pole and stepped home at the clip named. This performance opened the eyes of some people who had never been able to swallow the reported 2:06| mile at Lexington, and it was admitted on all hands that if Angle became "mannered " she would have the trotting stakes for green horses this year at her mercy But at that time, and even later there was much room for improvement in the track actions of Angle. At times she had notions of her own about trotting when asked to do so, and I have seen her caper along the better part of an afternoon without doing much in speed line. Lou Dillon was another of the same sort the first season Millard Saunders had her over here from California, and yet the only time she was asked to start against another horse her man. ners were the best. Saunders took Angle along when he made a short campaign last fall, and she must have Bhown him something on that trip that made the veteran reins- man think she was ready to go for the money, otherwise she would not be out this year. Although Saunders has not been especially promi- nent for the last decade he has been in the swim all the time with headquarters at the Cleveland track, and there is no better posted or more thorough horse- man. Years ago he raced Clingstone, giving that horse his mark of 2:14 to high wheels, and previous to that he had campaigned in the Middle West with William H. (a great four-year-old in his day), and others of less note. Saunders comes of a family of horsemen, his father, who lived at Clyde, N. Y., having at one time owned an interest in Dexter as well as raced other trotters of those days. Mr. Morris, who owns Angle, is a promi- nent Cleveland business man who has owned a number of good horses, his most notable performer being the handsome Axtell mare Elloree2:08£, that Saunders raced for him, and that Mr. Morris himself drove a mile to wagon in 2:10. Possibly what Eilore9 did in the trotting line disposed Mr. Morris favorably towards the Axtells, but after the mare was sold nothing in the market attracted his attention until Angle began to be talked about If Angle acts well in the Detroit race it looks as if the winner's end of the $10,000 purse was already as good as in her owner's pocket, as she could un- doubtedly have been fitted to trot a mile in 2:06 or better last summer, whereas the fastest mile ever trotted in the M. and M. was the 2:08 J of Eleata several years ago, and that, also, was the only time 2:10 was beaten in the race. A 2:06 trotter that is good headed and will race would have practically a walk over on the form of the race In all the years it has been contested. The meeting of the Pacific District Board of Ap- peals of the National Trotting Association, which was called for April 13th, was postponed until May 10th, owing to the unavoidable absence of two of the Board's members. Jackson's Napa Soda untangles the feet. mw gvee&ex an* ^avt&man I April 15, 1906 The Breeders Association has changed the 2.08 class pace to a 2:09 class in response to numerous requests. John Browning, who it is said is the inventor of racing hopples, died recently at his home in Indian- apolis. On the front page of last week's Chicaqo Horseman was a fine picture of Briquette, the Zombro filly recently sold to Samuel Barnard of Colorado Springs by Mr. M. A. Murphy of this city. Terry McGovern, the ex-champion bantam pugulist, now owns Geo. H. Ray 2:23} by Chimes that has been converted to pacing and .vill be entered in the Cham- ber of Commerce stake at Detroit. Horses imported into the Argentine Republic are detained in quarantine for eight days and are tested with mallein. Should there be any signs of reaction to the test the animal is condemned and slaughtered. Election Bells, the colt by MoDbells that George Peringer, of Pendleton, OregOD, purchased at the Palo Alto sale in this city last year, Is being trained by James Erwin at Walla Walla and is showing up well. Here is a mating that should result in two minute speed. A four year old mare by Star Pointer 1:59}, d im a full sister to Ashland Wilkes 2:17}, sire of John R. Gentry 2:00V, has been bred to John A. McKerron 2:04*. Frank Frazier, of Chehalis 2:04} fame, is handling a few young trotters and pacers at Pendleton, Oregon, this year. Umahalis 2:15} pacing, has taken the diagonal gait and is in a fair way to be as last that way as the other. There are a couple of three-year-olds by Nearest 2:22} in training at San Jose that will make him the sire "of two 2:10 pacers this yearif no accident happens them. Both are fine lookers, clean gaited, and as fast as the proverbial ghost. Down at Tulare there is a fast green pacing mare by Rajah 10154, son of Sultan that is showing speed enough to put her among the money winning pros- pects. She is owned by Mr. Sangster of that place and recently worked a mile in 2:141 and repeated in 2:13J, a pretty good showing for one that is entirely green. William Hogoboom of Walla Walla has had his good Diablo colt Teddy, that took a record of 2:21} last year, registered as Teddy A. 40787. Teddy is out of the o-reat broodmare Elmorine, dam of Dos Minutos 2:30, winner of the Stanford Stake, and of Lena A. 2:21 }, winner of the Occident Stake. She is also the dam of two more in the list. The first of the sales of saddlers sent up by Harbin- son ic Co., of Kentucky, to New York showed that the demand is as keen as ever. About thirty head were disposed of, the highest price being $1045 and the average slightly over $500. A. C. Ruby of Oregon has gone to Europe and will bring back with him thirty or more head of Bolgians and Percherons which he will exhibit at the Lewis & Clark Fair at Portland. He expects to reach Portland with his consignment by the first of July. Nora MeKinney, dam of the Breeders Futurity and Occident Stake winner Almaden 2:22}, has a handsome black filly at foot by Lecco 2:09| that was born last Saturday. It is nominated in the Breeders Futurity for foals of 1905, and has been named Miss Ethel. James Thompson has shown the fastest half at the Pleasanton track this year with the four year-old pacer Albuta 2:24* by Altivo. It was on Tuesday of this week and the half was in 1:01 with the final eighth in 144 seconds. Albuta is undoubtedly one of the fastest pacers ever trained in California and is headed for a mark close to two minutes. The sons and daughters of Charles Derby are in nearly every instance a type of horse that is admired by all horsemen who breed for both the track and sale ring, as thev have size and good looks and are either pure gaited trotters or pacers. Charles Derby is standing at $50 the season, a low fee for a tried sire that was a high class race horse and has produced four with race records below 2:10. There is excellent pasturage at Oakwood Park Stock Farm where he is the premier sire. Monterey 2:09} will have several additions to his list this year and they will be in the fast classes, too. Mr. Williams' fast stallion is getting more popular with breeders every year and although his oldest colts are only five years old and not numerous, as he was not regularly in the stud until 1902, there are fast youngsters by him cropping out in all parts of the country. He has already sired a four-year-old with a record of 2:08}, and the only two of his get ever started have standard records. At the late Chicago horse sale the Patchen Wilkes Farm consignment of 21 head brought a total of $11,285, averaging $537.75 per head. Horace Onward, one of the handsomest and best-bred pacers ever sold in Chicago, brought $5,500, going to Senator Thomp- son, who was well pleased with his purchase and re- fused a big profit before returning heme. Victor Verhilac has just received through J. I. Sparrow, agent, a new Miller sulkey that is the very latest model of this excellent vehicle. It has two extra trusses that the owners claim make the frame the stillest of any sulky made, and yet do not add to the weight, as this one weighs but 30 pounds, wheels and all. Mr. Verhilac is much pleased with it. There is an individuality about the sons and daugh- ters of Seymour Wilkes 2:08} that cannot be mistaken by anyone familiar with this horse's get. They average 18 hands a6 soon as matured and will not vary much from 1100 pounds. They are well made, sound and very speedy horses, their speed improving year after year. Seymour Wilkes is a profitable horse to breed to. The Los Angeles program will be out next week. Secretary Bruner aod Ed. R. Smith of the association will visit all the training tracks in the State before entries close, soliciting entrieB to the various classes. The Los Angeles meeting will be a hummer and every horseman in this section of the state who can possibly afford it should take a trip to that city during the first week in July. It is not human nature to be satisfied. While trainers and owners and turf writers in America are continually asking for a new system of harness racing by which horses can be handicapped by distance or weight, as in Australia, word comes from Australia that the horsemen there are not satisfied with their own system and are advocating adoption of the American system of handicapping by records. A driving mare owned by C. J. Speer of Sutter county recently gave birth to twin mule colts, which Is the second lime be has done such a thing since Mr. .Speer owned her. It might be thought the mare was from Missouri, but such is not the case as she is California bred. The death of Direct 2:05* is leading breeders to inquire about his sons. The fast stallion I Direct 2:12}, one of the best bred of all Direct's sons, is making the season at Woodland. His colts are grand lookers and although none are old enough to race, they are show- ing great speed. When Scott Hudson was in California last wlDter one would have thought to hear him talk that he and all his friends had been losing money for years on the Grand Circuit. Nevertheless Hudson is at it again and has a string of twelve or fifteen horses working at the Lexington track. Davisville horsemen will soon have a track to train and race on. Mr. I. B. Hughes has leased the N. Miner tract of land just east of the town, and a driv- ing club will be organized to build a track and fix up the grounds for athletic performances, base ball, foot ball, blue rock shooting, etc. During the last week in March the United States transport Gen. Dix left this port for Manilla with 2500 tons of hay in her hold for the Government horses in the Philippine Islands. This is about the only ' demand" there is for hay as in the local market the supply greatly exceeds the call. The choicest wheat hay now sells at $13 per ton in San Francisco acording to Scott & Magner's weekly circular. Dr. C. D. Gray, of St. Louis, who has been on the Coast this winter trying to organize a circuit of horse shows for next winter has succeeded in getting encouragement from the breeders and owners of show horses that warrants him in announcing that a circuit of shows will be given next winter, opening at Los Angeles and taking in Pasadena, Sacramento, Oakland, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Salt Lake and Denver. Id casting about for a stallion to breed your mareB to this year don't overlook Greco, son of MeKinney and Mleen 2:26*, dam of three in the list, by Anteeo, second dam Lou Milton, the dam of Lou Dillon 1:58}, champion trotter of the world. He is at Pleasanton in charge of William Johnson. Lynda Oak 2:18*, the mare that James W. Rea, of San Joee, presented" to a neice, who resides in Illinois, two yearB ago, will be bred this year to Col. Cochran 2:10}. Lynda Oak is the dam of Dr Frasne 2:12*, Vendome 2:18} and Dr. Frasso's Sister 2:25*. Col. CoohraD is by Shadeland Onward out of Sally Toler 2:06} . Two fast pacers and two fast trotters have been sent to Zibbell & Son for sale. All are fine roadsters and two of them will do to race, us thoy have a very hif n rate of speed. These horses are owned by parties who bred tbem but have no use for them at present. Any one who wants a good horse at bis own p- ,ce should call at the new Zibbell barn back of the ' iutes and make an offer on one or more of tbem. Mr. M. B. Mosher, of Los Angeles, Cal. has sold this three-year-old pacer Gluck by Zombro 2:11, dam Scapoose 2:16} by Roy Wilkes, to Joseph Barnett of Albuquerque, New Mexico, for $1500. Her name will be changed to Clara B. and Mr. Barnett will race her. This filly will not be three years old until July 4th this year, but showed a mile in 2:14 at the Los Angeles track last week and this performance led to her pur- chase by Mr. Barnett. She is a fine young mare and will be a 2:10 performer with ordinary luck. There were 1123 mares nominated in the Kentucky Futurity for the foals of mares bred in 1904. Walnut Farm was the largest nominator with sixty mares. Kentucky nominators were the most numerous. 382 mares being named from that State. Only six Cali- fornia mares were named, but a« the Kentucky Futurity is not advertised west of the Rocky Mountains this is not singular. Twenty-eight of the mares bred to MeKinney last year were named in the stake. One of the handsomest and best bred mares in Cali- fornia is Alfredatta, a chestnut mare bred at Oakwood Park Stock Farm, and now the property of Mr. F. S. Granger of San Jose. Alfredatta is fifteen yea-s old. She is by Steinway 2:253, dam Etna G. by Guy Wilkes 2:15}, second dam Alia by Almont 33, third dam by Brignote 77, fourth dam by the thoroughbred horse Cripple, son of Medoc. Alfredatta is due to foal in a few days to Nearest 2:22}, own brother to John A. McKerron 2:041. The Humboldt Standard of last week says: "Dr. Gaynor picked up a bargain in Ferndale yesterday when he purchased a four year-old Wayland W. gelding, first dam by Poscora Hayward, second dam by The Grand Moor, third dam by Overland, fourth dam by Montezuma, fifth dam by Boston. Besides grand breeding, the colt has the further ad vantage of having been raised in the mountains, the combina- tion of breeding and mountain raising giving him a race horse barrel, grand legs and good feet. The doctor, who believes that 'the knocker' has done more than any other class to help him personally to the good things of the earth, say6 that he would' be pleased to have the hammers started on this young horse at once." Santa Rosa people are aoxious to have the Breeders meeting there and have written to Secretary Kelley, asking to be informed of the date of the Dext Directors meeting that they may seDd a representative who will be prepared to make a definite proposition for the meeting to be held at the Santa Rosa Stock Farm track. Petaluma horsemen are also ready to make an offer for the meeting, and Fresno has already made on6. It might be well for the Breeders to hold meet- ings at all these places and thus help swell the circuit to respectable proportions. Our Yolo county readers should not miss the oppor- tunity to breed a few good mares to the Woodland Stock Farm stallions, Nushagak and Prince Ansel this year A visit to the farm will prove to anyone that both stallions are the producers of high class colts and fillies and those who look them over will agree that a more uniform or handsomer collection of fast young trotters never filled a row of stalls on any trotting track. Mr. Chas. Spencer, Superintendent of the farm, is always ready to show visitors around and give any information desired. C. C. Crippen, of Mayfield, contemplates owning "the best bred colt." He has a two-year-old filly by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16}, dam Novelist (2)2:27 by Norval 2:14|, second dam Elsie, dam of five in the list by Gen. Benton, third dam Elaine 2:20, dsm of four in the list by Messenger Duroc, fourth dam Green Mountain Maid, dam of nine in the list, by Harry Clay 45. Mr. Crippen proposes to breed this filly to Galindo, son of MeKinney 2:11} and Elsie, second dam of his filly. The great broodmare crosses in the pedigree of the prospective foal will be hard to equal Iran Alto 2:12} Is one of the best bred horses ever foaled on Senator Stanford's great Palo Alto farm. He is by the greatest race horse the Senator ever bred — Palo Alto 2:08f, and out of Elaine 2:20, the champion three-year-old of her day. Under H. S. Hogoboom's management at Woodland, Iran Alto is receiving a large patronage. His produce are show- ing lots of speed wherever they are in training, and as he has already produced winners, bis first son tak- ing a record of 2:12} and having five more in the list, he can be classed as one of the successful young sires of this State. There are nearly three hundred horses at Pleasan- tOD, and the handsomest among them is a black mare called Mayola that is in Dan Misner's string. She is by Vallota 3084, out of Brownie by Anti Coolie, son of Anteeo, secODd dam Beauty by Anteeo, and third dam Belle by Williamson's Belmont. Mayola is with- out any exaggeration one of the most beautiful trot- ting mares ever seen on the Pleasanton track. She has had very little training but has trotted a half in 1:10 and is a good prospect. Her owner is not a race horse man, and wants to sell her. If some one wants a buggy mare that will make everybody "rubber" as he drives by, this is the opportunity to get one, and if she is trained and raced she should get some of the money, as she is naturally fast. That section of the city just north of Golden Gate Park has long been in favor with horsemen who enjoy driving over the beautiful park roads as a place for stabling their animals, but stall room has been at a premium there for a long time. The Zibbell Stable, recently erected by J. W. Zibbell & Son on 11th avenue, just back of the Chutes, has partially sup- plied this demand for stalls in that locality, as while there are fifty fioe stalls within the building, they are nearly all filled, although the stables have been com- pleted but a few weeks. There is no neater and more complete 'horse hotel'' in San Francisco than this one, and the fact that a healthier location does not exist anywhere, doubtless has led many to seDd their horses there, and when the care and attention given horses is considered, (ihe popularity of the place is not surprising. Mr. Zibbell and his son Willard are both practical horsemen and trainers and are getting a number in shape to race on the circuit this year. These horses are being worked every day on the park roads and the speedway and will be taken to one of the mile tracks sometime this month. The Zibbells have quite a number of horses consigned to them for sale and parties desiring a good road horse, or one to race at Oakland on Butcher's Day or on the regular circuit, shculd call on them.

She has not been asked to trot a mile better than 2:25 this year but ia known to have a world of speed and the railbirds say she is a sure 2:08 mare. Mr. Ward is also training the brown pacing gelding Vision 2:12$ by Vanquish; Anna Tur- ner, a green mare by Glenelg, that was paced in 2:133, and a two-year-old stud colt by Silver Coin. After his rough treatment at the hands "of the Grand Circuit stewards last summer, when he was racing Sweet Marie, Robt. Smith has about decided to get out of the horae business entirely and purchased a couple of big automobiles just to get even, but he hasn't been able to get the race horse idea entirely out of his system and cornea out to the track occas- ionally to take a ride behind hie mare Bellemont 2:20$ or some of the others in the Durfee string.

The list includes May Wilkea by Stan- ton Wilkea, out of Lou 2:14$ bylra; Zoletta by Zolock, dam Thistle by Albion; Hancock Johnson, a full brother to the good trotter Bonnie Russell 2:10$, Glenetta by Rex Gifford, dam by Guide; Alice Mc- Kinney by Conifer, dam by McKinney; Molly Haskins want a Zombro. Zolock 2:09}, the fastest entire pacing son of Mc- Kinney and one of the very best bred ones, is doing exceptionally well in the hands of Henry Delaney and promises to have a big season. His colts are rapidly coming to the front and there are a score of them around here that can beat 2:25 right now. Zolock is being jogged regularly and it is almost a certainty that he will be seen at the races this fall, which means that he will have a record close to 2:06 if no hard luck overtakes him. Mr. Delaney is also training the sen- sational McKinney pacer, Welcome Mack 2:20$, that recently earned a matinee record of 2:08$; Delilah (2) 2:16$ by Zombro; Athio 2:14$ by Junio; Virginia, a six-year-old cbeatnut mare by Bob Mason, that has shown a haif in 1:01} and the black mare Dixie W. that worked in 2:20 as a three-year-old. Will Julian who raced Robt. I. 2:08| in 1903 is train ing a number of good green ones for Mrs. Hastings and has one or two that will do to start this season. Tbe big bay pacer, Sky Pointer Jr. by Sky Pointer, has a world of speed and should earn a very fast rec- ord if he will take a notion to behave himself.

JOTTINGS. H SAN JOSE will soon have the best harness racing track on the Pacific Coast, if the plans of the new corporation of which Mr. P. S. Granger is presi- dent and manager do not miscarry, and there is nothing now to prevent them being carried to com- pletion. Mr. Granger's company has secured along lease of Agricultural Park, without any question one of the most beautiful raoe tracks and fair grounds in America, although its buildings, stalls and fences are in a very bad state of repair at the present time. In a talk I had with Mr. Granger, on Saturday last, he said that a big gang of workmen would commence tbis week the reconstruction ot the entire property. Fifty new stalls are to be erected within a few days, and work is to be continued until there are at least five hundred Erst class bos stalls for the use of horse- men. Many of the old stalls only need repairing to make them habitable, and Mr. Granger states that all will be made dry and comfortable at all seasons of the year. An inside winter training track forty feet in width is to be constructed during the fall, and good new fences built the entire circuit of both tracks. A first class club house will also be built, and the grounds cleaned up so as to make them attractive in every way. A handsome arched gate way will be erected at the main entrance, the roads leading to the grandstand and stalls all graded and graveled and the buildings put in good repair and painted or "whitewashed." "It is our intention," 6aid Mr. Granger, "to make the San Jose track the best train- ing track in the world for both summer and winter use, and the winter track will be so constructed that horses can be worked immediately after a rain, or during the rain for that matter. All the old dilapi- dated stalls, fences and buildings are to be torn down, and with such of the lumber as is worth using the remaining buildings and stalls will be repaired. By next winter when racing on the eastern Grand Circuit is over, we expect to have many trainers ship direct to San Jose to train for the winter. There will be no pains or expense spared to make the San Jose track attractive to owners and trainers alike." Mr. Granger added that a Driving Club will soon be or- ganized in San Jose and matinees given once a month. I hope that all the plans laid out by Mr. Granger will be carried out. Situated in the beautiful Santa Clara valley, and within the limits of the thriving city of San Jose, within an hour and a half's ride of San Francisco with a dozen or more trains a day each way, San Jose track possesses more advantages than any training track in California so far as location, climate and accessibility are concerned. San Fran- ciscans whose horses are in training there can run down and see them work and return home without consuming more that five or six hours in the entire trip. The track iB one of the safest and fastest in California and while it is not the winter track that the one at Pleasanton is, Mr. Granger says the new inside track to be built will be perfectly suited for training in the wettest weather. Mr. Granger is an energetic and enterprising man and has handled successfully many large enterprises. He constructed the splendid electric road now running from San Jose to Saratoga and Los Gatos, and has contracted for and built many other lines He has the ability to accomplish all that he has laid out to do with Agri- cultural Park at San Jose. They had a horse show down in Pasadena last week that was quite a success. The rose carnival held at that place offered the opportunity to supplement it with a horse show and the people who own fine horses entered into the spirit of it and made many entries. There are many wealthy Easterners who spend their winters in that section of California, and a large proportion of them bring their horses when coming here for the season. These people are all familiar with horse show customs and as this was an open air affair and the weather was perfect they enjoyed it immensely. The show caused quite a scramble for exhibition stock, Bay wood Stud of San Mateo selling several that were entered and won prizes, The probabilities are that the Breeders Association will give a meeting at the Fresno track the week fol- lowing the big Los Angeles meeting and as this asso- ciation always gives good purses at its meetingE, the California circuit begins to have a yery substantial look There will be over sixteen thousand dollars hung up at Los Angeles to be raced for during the six days, and the Breeders will give at least four days of good racing with purses averaging a thousand each. The next meeting to follow will naturally be Pleasan- ton, then will come San Jose and then Santa Rosa and Woodland before the State Fair is reached. The meeting at Fresno should be one of the best on the circuit. There is a fine track there and the stalls and buildings are in good shape. Fresno is a booming city of about twenty-five thousand and the people are very anxious for the Breeders to hold a meeting there, which insures a good attendance. If the Breeders decide to hold .the meeting a first class program will be gotten out, and so arranged as to accommodate as many horses in training as possible. The purses will be all worth competing for and no effort spared to make the meeting one of the best ever held at the raisin centre. Owners of mares will make a big mistake this year if they do not breed them to good stallions, of which tbere are many in California. The horse market is in such a condition that it ie almost impossible to buy even an ordinary buggy or business horse for less than $150 and when prices are that high horses are scarce. Visit any of the farms in your neighborhood and you will find that two and three-year-olds are very few, while the crop of yearlings is still smaller. This Is true of California farms and the condition of things over EaBt is said to be still worse. In Chicago a fourteen-year-old "expresser, " blind in one eye and of but little use as a work horse, but In rather fair condition, has passed through the auction ring three times during the past month and has not brought less than $100 at any one of the sales. The scarcity of horses for farm purposeB Is very evident in New Eng- land where the high prices asked for them has driven farmers to the use of oxen for plowing. The farmer who is willing to sell horses for $150 at three years old (ard there Is a profit In them at that figure) should breed all his available mares this year. The supplj will not equal the demand Inside of five years bably not then as the ranges where horses red by the thousands are nearly all out of below 2:20, by the mighty Direotor 2:17, founder of a great family, sire of the champions Directum 2:05J, Direct 2:05J and also sire of the dams of such t.rotterB as John A. McKerron 2:04J and Ozanam 2:07. The third dam is Bicara, dam of six trotters in the list besides four producing sons Including Pancoast 2:21|, sire of Patronage sire of the ex-champion Alix2:03|. Pancoast is the founder of a great family of trotters, eighteen of his sons having sired 120 trotters and 12 pacers, and sixteen of his daughters producing 22 trotters and 3 pacers. Bicara was by Harold, another of Hambletonian's greatast sons and the sire of Maud S. 2:08|, one of the greatest of all the great trotters that ha^e held world's records. The fourth dam of Dillcara is Belle by Mambrino Chief. She is the dam of Belmopt 64, sire of the great Nutwood the greatest of all broodmare sires; she is also the dam of McCurdy's Hambletonian 2:26£, four of her sons are producers and her daughters have produced 7 in the list. The fifth dam is Belle Lupe a daughter of Brown's Bell founder a horse that was bred like Ham- bletonian 10 except that the top and bottom crosses were reversed. There is producing blood in great quantity in this colt's veins, and he is closely related to such champions as Lou Dillon 1:582, Alix 2:03f , John A. McKerron 2:045, Directum 2:063-, Maud S. 2:08| and many others. At $40 the season this horse is worthy of being mated with the best mares in California. Not a New Feed for Horses. Answers to Correspondents. D. S. M., Ryde, Cal — Yes. C. W. Short, Las Olivos, Cal. — Williamson's Bel- mont was a thoroughbred horse and is registered in Vol. 1 of the American Stud Book. He was by Amer- ican Boy, out of imported Prunella by Comus. William Clark, Medrord, Oregon— Queen Wilkes hy Mambrino Wilkes 6083 is the dam of Dexter Prin- cess 2:24^. She is not registered and, according to the rules, cannot be until she has produced another standard trotter. Rule 4 states that "a mare sired by a registered standard trotting horse, provided she is the dam of two trotters with records of 2:30," is enti- tled to registration. In Vol. 8 of the Year Book the pedigree of Queen Wilkes is given as follows: Queen Wilkes by Mambrino Wilkes 6083, dam Stowe Mare by Ned. G. B. S., Cbico — Stone's Election has a record of 2:28i, made at Stockton, October 13, 1892, which, with all other records made against time at that meet- ing, was rejected hy the American Trotting Associa- tion. He is not registered. Dr. Gaynor, Eureka — It is impossible to answer your question without knowing more about the first and second dams of your gelding. If you give their nameB we can ascertain whether either is registered. If the, Poscora Hayward mare is not registered, she must be before her produce can be registered. If she has produced two with standard records, then she can be registered under rule 4 Otherwise she cannot. It seems that a certain bre wery concern in Brooklyn has adopted the practice of feeding its horses partially on sugar, and this fact is being widely published in certain turf journals as a new discovery in the art of feeding and fattening horses. Instead of feeding sugar being a novel feed for horses, it has been recognized for many years as one of the most bene- ficial ingredients known to horsemen. One of the most remarkable incidents, showing the efficacy of 9ugar as a life preserving and fattening ingredient, is the case of Tom Hal, founder of the greatest pacing amily in the world's history. In 1886, when this grand horse was twenty-six years old, he was owned by Major Campbell Brown, of Spring Hill, Tenn. The hard usage which he received in the early part of his career, coupled with the fact that his teeth for several years had been practically gone resulted in his becoming an almost total wreck, and thinking that his days of usefulness were about over, Major Brown deemed it advisable to sell him, and at his public sale that year, Mr. F. B. Buford purchased the old horse for about $175. When he arrived at Mr. Buford'shome his ribs were plainly visible, and he was so weak that he could hardly walk. It was very evident that nothing but careful nursing would get him through the winter, and to accomplish this pur- pose Mr. Buford purchased a barrel of molasses and a quantity of ground oats, and three times each day from that period the old horse was fed a pint of molasses and two quarts of ground oats. So rapidly did he improve under this diet that long before the following spring he was as fat, sleek and frisky as at any time in his life. This feed was continued until his death, in the summer of 1890, and during those four years he not only did his stud duty, but sired among others, Blue Hal 2:142, Chestnut Hal 2:24f, Imperial Hal 2:12J;, Royal Hal 2:19J, Hal Buford 2:24, and Bessie Hal trial 2:12, dam of Direct Hal 2:04J; Not only was this feed beneficial, but the old horse, was so fond of it that when feeding time approached he would commence to squeal and paw and refused to be appeased until his molasses was brought to him. Not only are all horses fond of sugar, but no medicine is so beneficial as brown sugar in correcting many of the ailments with which horses of all ages are afflicted to a more or less extent, and for fattening purposes it far surpasses all other feeds. — Hider and Driver. Bred in Producing Lines. If there is anything In pedigree the young stallion Dillcara, advertised in this journal, is without any doubt one of the best bred horses in America. He is a young horse of the stout blocky type, without coarseness, with excellent trotting action and natural speed. His sire iB Sidney Dillon, sire of three trotters with records better than 2:08, one of them the world's champion and first two minute trotter, Lou Dillon 1-.58J. Sidney Dillon is a Bon of Sidney 2:19J, sire of three in 2:10 and a whole line of champion trotting and pacing colts, he by Santa Claus 2:17J, a great race horse and sire of 2:10 speed, he by Strathmore also a 2:10 sire and one of the very greatest of the great sons of Hambletonian 10. Dillcara's dam is Guycara 2:18$ a young broodmare whose get have not yet been raced. She is a daughter of Guy Wilkes 2-.15J, sire of four in 2:10 and also sire of many of the best winnersthat over went to the Grand Circuit from California. The second dam of Dillcara is Biscara, dam of five in the list, of which four have records Both the Same Breed. Many have the idea that a pacer is an entirely separate breed of horses from the trotter. They are simply mistaken (remarks an exchange). Although the pacer antedates the trotter thousands of years, yet the pacer of today is b-ed from trotting sires with very few exceptions. Twenty-three pacers have made records of from 2:04 to 1:56. Let any one examine the list and they will find that 11 of the number are sired by the sons of George Wilkes, and 10 of the others trace back to Hambletonian. As Wilkes is a direct son of Hambletoman we find that 21 of the number are sired by sons and grandsons of Hamble- tonian. One of the number is by a son of Mambrino Chief, a grandson of Messenger. Star Pointer 1:591; Is the only one in the whole gang that is pacing bred. Therefore 23 of the whole number of pacers with records from 2:04 to 1:56 are of Messenger blood. Jackson's Napa Soda doeB not tangle the feet April 15, 1905] l&he gveeiiev tmb gtpjjrtamon Good Stock for British Columbia. Mr. J. B. Hull,' of Kamloops, B. C, who has been in San Francisco and vicinity for the past two or three weeks in quest of a few blooded horses to use for breeding purposes, returned last Saturday taking ■rich him five, of which three were thoroughbred and two standard bred animals. Of the latter one was the stallion, Ogden, bred by Mr. P. J. Williams, Bired by Egyptian Prince, and out of the great broodmare Hattie, dam ot Monterey 2:09i and Montana 2:16. Ogden is a large bay horse, fully sixteen hands high and weighiDg about 1200 pounds. Although never trained for racing he has shown 2:20 speed, and could obtain a low mark were he worked. He has been driven on the road during the past year by Mr.Galindo proprietor of the Vienna Cafe in this city and made an ideal road horse, as he is absolutely fearlessaDd can be driven by a child. He has never been used in the stud, and is as sound as any horse ever foaled, not having even a pimple on his legs. An excellent likeness of this horse appears on our front page this week. Few horses as well bred as Ogden have ever been sent out of California. His sire Egyptian Prince is by El Mahdi, a producing son of Onward, and is out of a mare by Mambrino King. The dam of Ogden as stated above is the great broodmare Hattie by Commodore Belmont,second dam Barona by Woodford Mambrino, third dam Miss Gratz by Norman 25, and fourth dam a daughter of Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. Ogden should make a great stock horse for Mr. Hull. The 2:10 sires represented in Ogden's pedigree are Onward, sire of Onward Silver 2:05>r, Beuzetta 2:06J, Pilatus 2:09}, Cornelia Belle 2:10, Pearl Onward 2:07J, Gazette 2:0lt\ Colbert 2:074, Miss Ophelia 2:09}, Col Thornton 2:09j] Major Mason 2:093, etc., Mambrino King, sire of Lord Derby 2:051, Nightingale 2:08, Dare Devil 2:09, Lady of the Manor a:04i, Heir-at-Law 2:05?, etc.; Belmont 61, sire of Earlmont 2:09J; Woodford Mam- brino, sire dam of Kremlin 2:07j. The great brood maresare Lady Bunker, dam of Guy Wilkes2:15}, etc.; Hattie, dam of Monterey 2:09}, etc.; Bay Hamble- tonian, dam of three in the list, Dolly, dam of Director 2:17 etc.; Woodbine, dam of Wedgewood 2:19, etc.; and ' many others that lack of space prevents mentior^ ing in this article. It will be seen that Ogden is related to the best of the trotting families. The trotting filly purchased by him was the brown mare Cooked by Owyhee 2:11, dam of Coquette by Wilton, second dam Julia Clay by Harry Clay. She is a two-year-old and was brefl at Oakwood Park Stock Farm and is both standard and registertd. The thoroughbreds purchased by Mr Hull were the stallion Oakington, son of Libertine and Btrna by imp Cheviot, the broodmare Carilia by St. Carlo out of Guilia by imp. Kyrle Daly, and Carilia 's filly foal of this jearby Rubicon. On the same day Mr. Hull shipped this daughter of St. Carlo to British Columbia, a son of St. Carlo, the four-jear-oli Elie broke the world's reaord for three miles by winning the stake at that distance at Oakland in the remarkable time of 5:22, cutting full two seconds from the 5:29 made by Drake Carter at Sheepahead Bay in 1884, eleven years ago. Elie is a four-year old. Mr. Hull considers himself very lucky in securing a filly by the sire of the world's champion three mile runner. Counties May Employ Live Stock Inspectors. A new law passed by the last Legislature gives Boards of Supervisors the power to appoint a live stock inspector at a salary of $125 per month when employed. He must be a registered veterinary, certified and accredited by the State Veterinary Medical Board. The law gives Supervisors the dis- cretion of not employing such inspector when in their judgment there is no need of his services. It is to be the duty of the live stock inspector, act- ing under the supervision of the State Veterinarian, to enforce all laws of the State, and all orders and ordinances of the board pertaining to the health and sanitary surroundings of all live stock in his county, and for that purpose he is authorized and empowered, by and with the approval of the Board of Supervisors, to establish, maintain and enforce such quarantine, sanitary and other regulations as he may deem proper and necessary. He shall give to the du.ies of his office such time and attention as may be necessary to secure the general protection and advancement of all matters pertaining to the health and sanitary condi- tion of the domestic live stock of his county.

The horse seems, in the hour of battle at least, to take on characteristics which belong only to a being endowed with reason. He partakes of the hopes and fears of the conflict, the same as bis rider. If he has been six months in the service he knows every bugle call. As the column swings into line and waits, the horse grows nervous with waiting, and if the wait be long, will often tremble and sweat. As the call comes to advance, the ridercan feel him worK- ing at the bit with his tongue to get it between his teeth. As he moves out he will either try to get on faster or bolt. The lines will carry him forward and after a minute he will lay back his ears, and one can feel his sudden resolve to brave the worst and have done with it as soon as possible. A man seldom cries out when hit in the turmoil of battle, and it is the same with a horse. Five troopers out of six when 6truck with a bullet are out of their saddles in a minute. If hit in the breast or shoulder, up go their hands and they get a heavy fall; if in the leg, foot or arm, they fall forward and roll off. Even with a foot cut off by a jagged piece of shell a horse will not drop. It is only when shot in the head or heart that he comes down. The horse that loses his rider and is unwounded himself will continue to run with his set of fours until some movement throws him out. Then he goes galloping here and there, neighing with fear and alarm, but will not leave the field. When he has come upon several riderless steeds they fall in and keep together, and the rally of the bugle often will bring them into the ranks together. — Exchange. New DriviDg Park for Watsonville. Watson ville and the Pajaro valley are to have a driving park says the fajaronian. H. C. Peckham of the enterprising firm of Peckham & Peckham has taken the matter up, and the early encouragement he has received makes the park a certainty in the near fuSure He has secured an option on the G. T. White home place, situated less than a mile and a half from the center of Watsonville. and opposite the reservoir of the Watsonville Water Company on the Santa Cruz road. The new park is to be on the old Tarpey track and the option secures it for a lease or to buy within five and one-half years at a reasonable figure, for the purpose of establishing thereon a park to be used for driving, football, baseball and polo grounds, and for the purpose of holding fairs and other gatherings of benefit and iecreation to the people of the valley. The property will be handled by a corporation to be known as the Watsonville Driving Park Associa- tion to be capitalized at $10,000 in 1000 shares at $10 each. Two hundred and fifty shares will be sold at once and the remaining stock will be kept in the treasury. Of the 250 shares sold, 50 per cent will be paid in at the time of incorporation of the company, and the balance in ninety days thereafter. That the matter is taking public interest is shown by the ready sale of 100 shares in a shcrt time after Mr. Peckham began working on the proposition. The Pajaro valley has need of just such a place as that planned and there is no doubt that it will be a "go." The Sacramento Union says: Nearly all the owners from this part of the State will take tbeir horses over the California circuit, including the State Fair, and then take in the races arranged in Oregon, Washing- ton, Idaho and Utah. Frank E. Wright of this city has abandoned his proposed tour of the Eastern Grand Circuit, because of his father's illness, but will g Los Angeles. 8 ®lxe greeitev tmfc grptfrtsmttm [April 15, 1905 Some Great Brood Mares. -terasting and profitable to breeders to study the blood lines and compare toe speed-producing and spsed-parpe' 5 of the most famous of great brood mares. An examination of the table of great brood mares in the Year Book of 1904 shows that there are five which stand out prominently from all the others as producers and perpetuators of stand- ard speed They are Alma Mater, Dolly, Miss Russell, Beautiful Bells and Green Mountain Maid. Measured by her producing qualities, together with the success of her sons as sires and her daughters as producers of standard speed, Alma Mater still out- ranks any and all of the other great brood mares. She w s foaled in 1572. Her sire, Herr's Mambrino Patcben, was by Mambrino Chief and from a daugh- ter of the successful running race horse Gano, whose sire was the renowned four-mile race winner, Ameri- can Eclipse and whose dam was Betsey Richards by that most famous of race horses and most successful speed perpe.uator of his day, Sir Archy. The dam of Alma Mater was Estella, and she was a thoroughbred daughter of imported Australian. Alma Mater produced eight that took records in standard time Seven of her sons have sired 20S trotters and 64 pacers that have made standard rec- ords. This makes the total number produced by her- self, sired by her sons and produced by her daughters 283. The mare that is nest in rank to Alma Mater, as a producer and perpetuaior of standard speed, is Dolly. Her sire was Mambrino Chief. Her dam was by Ben Franklin, said to be a racker and trotter. The sire of Ben Franklin was Hazrack, a famous saddle horse in his day, and got by Golden Farmer, also known as Fearnaugbt and believed to have been from good run- ning stock. The dam of Hazrack was by Johnson's Copperbottom, whose sire was Jowett's Copperbottom, a pacer and claimed to be a Canadian, but his origin is unknown. So far as known the maternal ancestors of Johnson's Copperbottom were all from runnicg- bred stock. The dam of Ben Franklin was by John- son's Copperbottom and bis second dam by Saxe Weimer, a running-bred son of Sir Archy. The sec- ond dam of Dolly was also by this same Saxe Weimer and was known as Nance. Dolly's third dam "was a good-looking chestnut mare called Kate that both paced and trotted," but her breeding has never been made public. Doliy was foale-d in 1361. She produced four that trotted to records of 2:30 or better. Four of her sons have sired 195 trotters and 61 pacers that made rec- ords in standard time. Her daughters have produced two standard performers, both trotters. The whole number of standard performers produced by Dolly, sired by her sons, and Droduced by her daughters, is 262. Next in rank is Miss Russell, foaled in 1565, and got by Pilot Jr. The dam of Miss Russell was Sally Russell by the most successful long-distance race horse of his day, Boston. The latter was by Timoleon, a son of the famous Sir Archy by imported Diomed, and his dam was by Ball's Florizel, another dis- tinguished race winner by old Diomed. The second dam of Boston was by imported Alderman, a son of Pot-8-o's. The latter was by the invincible Eclipse, and was the sire of three famous English Derby win- ners. The second dam of Miss Russell was Maria Russell, by Thornton's Rattler, a son of Sir Archy, third dam, Miss Shepherd by Stockholder, another son of Sir Archy; fourth dam, Miranda by Topgallant, son of Imported Diomed; fifth dam by imported Diomed; sixth dam by imported Medley, a son of the famous Gimcrack, and seventh dam by imported Juniper, a son of Babraham by Godolpbin Arabian. Pilot Jr., sire of Miss Russell, was by the Canadian pacer Pilot, and from a daughter of Funk's Havoc, whose sire was Sir Charles by Sir Arcby. The dam a more closely and deeply inbred to Imported Diomed through his best son Sir Archy than any other animal wbose name we bave ever found in the Stud Book. Miss Russell produced five trotters and two pacers In the list, Including two with records better than 2:10 one of them the renowned old high wheel cham- pion trotter of the world, Maud S. 2:08j. Six of Mlse Russell's sons ha- ■ i trotters and 53 pacers that have made records In standard time, and one of these sons is Nutwood 2:18), the greatest sire of produc- ing dams that has ever lived. Nutwood's daughters have already produced 189 trotters and 60 pat have made records of 2:30 or better, a total of 249. Daughters' -ell have produced 10 trotters and or i pacer in the list making tbe number of standard performers produced by herself, sired by sand produced by her daughter in order of rank comes the renowned Beautiful 291, foaled in 1872, the same year as Alma Mater The sire of Beautiful Bells was The Moor 2:37. He was by Clay Pilot, son of Neave's Cassius M. Clay Jr., and his dam was the registered thoroughbred Belle of Wabasb, trotting record 2:40. The dam of Beautiful Balls was Minnehaha (the dam of eight trotters that have made records in standard time), by Stevens' Bald Chief, a son of Bay Chief, by Mambrino second dam Nettie Clay, by Strader's Cassius Jr.; third dam by Abdallah, sire of Rysdyk's Hambletonian; and fourth dam by Engineer 2d, sire of the old time world's trotting champion Lady Suffolk 2:29*. Beautiful Bells produced 11 that have made standard records, all trotters. Eight of her sons have sired 173 trotters and 61 pacers that have made records in standard time. Her daughters have pro- duced six trotters and one pacer with standard records, a total of 252. Green Mountain Maid which is sixth in rank among the most successful of She great broodmares, as a producer and perpetuator of standard speed, was foaled in 1862. She was by the noted broodmare sire Sayre's Harry Clay, whose sire was Neave's Cassius M. Clay Jr., and whose dam was by the Norfolk trot- ter imported Bellfounder, that got the dam of Rys- dyk's Hambletonian. It is generally conceded by the best posted of horse- men who have studied the matter that Shanghai Mary, the dam of Green Mountain Maid, was by Iron's Cadmus and from a running-bred mare. Iron's Cad- mus is registered in Bruce's American Stud Book, where it is stated that bis sire was Cadmus and his dam was -by Brunswick, a son of Sumpter, by Sir Archy. Cadmus, the sire of Iron's Cadmus, was by the renowned four-mile race winner American Eclipse, he by Durcc, son of imported Diomed, and from Miller's Damsel, by imported Messenger. Cadmus' dam, Die Vernon, was by Ball's Florizel, the successful race-winning son of imported Diomed, that got the dam of the renowned Boston. Green Mountain Maid produced nine trotters that have made standard records. According to the Year Book four of her sons have sired 198 trotters and 10 pacers with standard records, but the Year Book credits Electioneer with only 158 trotters, while according to the National and American Trotting Associations it should be 165,which makes 205 trotters and 10 pacers with standard records got by the four sons of Green Mountain Maid. Her daughters have produced 10 trotters with standard records, which makes the total number of standard performers pro- duced by Green Mountain Maid, sired by her sons and produced by her daughters, 234. A study of the blood lines of the above noted speed producing and speed perpetuating mares, shows that the thoroughbred, or at least the running element, is quite prominent in all of them, but more so in Alma Mater and Miss Russell than in any of the others. Dolly, that ranks second in the list, is registered in Vol. V of the American Trotting Register as follows: Got by Mambrino Chief 11; dam Fanny by Ben Frank- lin (pacer), son of Hazrack (pacer): grandam Nance by Saxe Weimer, son of Sir Archy; great grandam chestnut pacing mare, etc. The registrar obtained his facts in regard to the ancestors of Dolly from Otto Holstein, who investigated the matter, and gave the results in an article published on page 818 of Wallace's Monthly for December, 1882. Mr. Holstein stated that the dam of Dolly was by a fine saddle stallion racker and trotter called Ben Franklin. Every horseman knows that there is as much difference between the gait of a racker and pacer as between that of a trotter and pacer. There has never been a particle of evidence presented to prove that this Ben Franklin ever paced a step in his life. The probability is that he was a square-gaited trotter which had been taught to single foot or rack under the saddle, that being an easier gait for the rider than the trot. The registrar gives Hazrack, the sire of Ben Frank- lin, as a pacer. The only authority for this was Mr. Holstein's statement that Hazrack was a "famous saddle horse. Had he been a pacer Mr. Holstein would undoubtedly have so stated, the same as he did of the third dam of Dolly. Mr. Holstein says of Golden Farmer, also known as Fearnaugbt, the sire of Hazraok, that "be came from Virginia and was doubtless thoroughbred or nearly so." There was much more of the thoroughbred and far less of tbe pacing element in the composition of Dolly than is generally believed by those who have depended solely on the Register and Year Book for their information. Another mare that comes pretty near to being in the same class as the five described above is Sprite by Alexander's Belmont. Sprite was foaled in 1872, the same year as Alma Mater and Beautiful Bells 2:29$. The dam of Sprite was the noted broodmare Water- witch by Pilot Jr.; second dam by Kinkead'6 St- Lawrence, and third dam by a thoroughbred colt, believed to be the same that is registered as Oliver and got by the famous old Wagner, dam by imported Leviathan and from a mare inbred to imported Diomed. Sprite produced four trotters that made standard records, and four of her sons have sired 146 trotters and 66 pacers that are standard performers, giving her a total to date of 216 in the standard list. — .American Horse Breeder. • — Automobiliousness. Th gtportsman The American Trotter Leads. General Treatment ot Wounds. The American trotter is winning his way, and in no one branch of usefulness is he more popular than a« a heavy harness horse. The Horse Show -Monthly pub- lishes a communication from Henry Windish, at present manager of Mrs. Pullman's stable in Chicago, in which he presents strongly and convincingly the strong points of the trotter as a heavy harness horse. Henry Windish has bought, driven and had experi- ence with heavy harness horseB in Germany. France, England and the United States for thirty years. His opinion is worth a great deal. We present herewith some extracts from his article: "We have been treated to a deal of argument pro and con about the merits of the hackney and the standard bred trotter as heavy harness horses. Easterners have gone wild over the cocky show ring appearanoe of the hackney, his round and chubby conformation, and his high-stepping ability. They do not, I think, look far enough. They simply re- gard the appearance of the horse, and do not stop to consider his ability to do the things required of a heavy harness horse in America. Even in the English show ring we have seen such horEes as Governor Brown, standard bred, beat all comers in England. So did Piloteer the Pilot Medium horse. Mr. George Hume took a trotting bred four to England and beat all comers, including the best of British hackneys. The distinction ought to be made in the heavy har- ness horse class, whether the horse is to be used for park and boulevard driving, or for road work at a country estate, driving to the station, postoffice, etc., and taking long rides, and last, the horse for the show ring. For use in crowded streets I want a soappy-going, stoutly-built horse, large enough to start and stop a carriage with as T.ttle exertion as possible, with lots of energy and ambition, a horse which does not require pushing. There are American stallions that for several generations back can show substance, action, good looks, conformation, and what most hackneys have not got, speed. There is another drawback to the hackney, that is, good color without flash markings, an advertising sign in their face, and a lot of white stockings. A lady does not care to have an advertis- ing sign in front of her carriage. For park and boulevard driving in our American cities, where drives are from twelve to fifteen and twenty miles long, we must have horses of grand appearance, with plenty of free action, loose from the shoulder, that can cover twenty miles in two hours, and come in, bearing reins loose, fighting for the steel. To do this we must have horses not too close to the ground, and not too stoutly built. The hackney will never do for this; at least not those 1 have had any- thing to do with, and those that I have seen and read about, and those that English and'Scotch buyers of American coachers for foreign markets have told me about. From all I have been able to see and learn, he is stout, very near to the ground, puts his feet back into about the same place from where he picks them, cannot cover the ground, and is often ill tempered. "Bead what the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic Rews of London has to say, that even the big dealers on the other side all say that the best carriage horses they get and deal in are American bred from trotting strains, that they are by far the kindest mannered animals, and you have the pleasing knowledge that they can go on if required. This from an English paper, and here we have an American newspaper ad- vising our government to import the hackney to breed from. I have seen many hackneys, read about more, have seen their pictures in the advertising columns of our papers, and heard a lot from dealers who have bad exper.ence with them, 1, as a coachman, do not want them. Give me the American trotter." Illihee Stake. The following are the entries as received in the above stake for two-year-old trotters and pacers to be raced for at North Yakima, Wash., this fall: L.

Whatever form of wound we are called upon to treat we should proceed to attend to four points, io-wit: First, to stop the bleeding, if any: second, to wash, clean and disinfect the wound thoroughly; third, to bring the parts as near as possible into their natural positions and keep them there, and fourth, to guard against excessive inflamation. The means we have to accomplish these results are as follows: First, to check bleeding. If the blood is bright red, and flows in spurts or jets, an artery has been cut. Its open end must be sought and seized with the forceps, drawn out and tied with a thread. A little practice will enable anyone to do this with great ease. If the flow is steady and of dark colored blood, it need cause no anxiety. Bathing the part in alum water, rubbing it with a piece of ice, putting cobwebs into the wound, or syringing it out with cold water, will quickly i.heck it. Second, to cleanse the wound: This is best done by pouring water upon it from a height, not rubbing it with sponges or rags. Syringing the water into it is a very good way. Pieces of hair or dirt, etc., can be picked out with a pair of forceps. Nothing is so useful for a cleansing wash as a weak solution of creoleum, using one to two ounces to a gallon of water. Third, restoring the parts into position: The edges of a cut wound should be carefully brought together and sewed or held by sticking plaster or bandages. A broken bone should be replaced in its natural position and held there by splints. Strong, curved surgical needles should be in the outfit of every stock raiser, and he should practice their use upon dead animals. When they are not convenient the edges of the wound may be held together by inserting a strong pin and twisting a thread like a figure eight. The sutures are generally removed on the fifth or sixth day. As to local applications, after the wound is thus put up, they are found in any quantity. Fourth, to prevent inflammation: The oldest stock raisers and veterinarians had a great fear of "wound fever," or "initiation fever, ''as it is now called, and to prevent it were wont to bleed and starve the animal after an injury. This notion has long since dis- appeared from human surgery, but still holds its ground with many stock men and some veterinarians, but it is a pernicious error. All that is needed is to prevent too violent reaction after a wound — and that is what is meant by wound fever — is to keep the ani- mal quiet, and if feverish symptoms appear to put an ounce of nitrate of potash in the drinking water, night and morning, and give a gentle purge. If there is any pain nothing equals a full dose of laudanum. The dressing on the wound should be neatly and comfortably applied, and then not often changed. Cloths wet with weak carbolic acid water two or three times daily are never approached by flies or maggots, a point that must always be watched in the lower ani- mals. Often the wound is not seen for purposes of treatment until days after it has occurred and after it has become foul, ulcerous, bad smelling, with ragged edges and perhaps filled with maggots. Here the first step is to clean and disinfect it thoroughly. To kill the maggots it may be freely sprinkled with powdered calomel. This will penetrate into the recesses of the wound and destroy them promptly. Ragged edges and pieces of dead skin and flesh should be cut away, loose shreds removed with the scissors and the wound washed by pouring warm water on it from a height. When in this manner it is well cleaned it should be thoroughly swabbed with a feather or a piece of tow on end of stick, with a disinfecting and stimulating lotion, in which also small pieces of tow or clean rag should be wet and laid in and over the wound, the whole to be covered with a bandage wet with the same. The wetting should be repeated two or three times a day, but this bandage need not be removed as long as the parts appear progressing favorably and the animal is comfortable. TOZER'S GOSSIP. Jackson's Napa Soda is sold in every city, town and hamlet in the State. The racing game at Emeryviile is now at its most lively stage. The fields are larger than at any time during the long session, the betting is heavier and the attendance at its highest point. All this is due to the closing of the Los Angeles meeting and hundreds of men and horses coming up from the Southern city to swell the list of players, bookmakers and horse- owners. The Los Angeles folks did a very wise thiog when they cut their dates to fit the tourist season proper, or concluded to shorten the season some twenty-one days. It is a good paying proposition when the Eastern crowd of tourists is on hand, a losing one when they have departed. This cut will help the local game along, too, for a host of good horses will come to Emeryville and race for 6evera weeks before i/oing East— that is, if things are fixed, up between the warring turf magnates so that a per. son of republican tendencies can go anywhere and race, provided he conducts himself honorably and runs his horses to win. It's my belief that Condon is as good as beaten in his fight against Corrigan and that he is too smart a man not to embrace the oppor- tunity of coming in out of the wet when the white flag is floating to the breeze. With racingin Missouri dead after June 16th and in Tennessee after Decem- ber 1st next, what is left to the Western Jockey Club? Why, just Washington Park and Harlem (Chicago), Oaklawn (Hot Springs), Little Rock (a dead place where they don't race these days), and Crescent City course, New Orleans. Their mainstays, (the Fart- Grounds and Delmar, at St. Louis, and Montgomery Park, at Memphis) have been swept off the racing landscape Against the tracks mentioned Corrigan and the American Turf Association will have the fol- lowing courses to represent them: Worth and Haw- thorne, near Chicago; Latonia and Louisville, in Ken- tucky; Essex Park, Hot Springs; Fair Groundstrack, Indianapolis, Ind ; City Park, New Orleans; Grosse Point and Highland Park tracts, Detroit, and the Fort Erie, Canada, track. Gov. Folk is so bitter that he talks of calling a special session at Jefferson City to stop racing around St. Louis forthwith. This will hardly be done, but it does look as if racing people would have a hard row to hoe for many moons in Missouri. The redoubtable Dr. Leggo added another laurel to his glory crown last Wednesday, when he ran a mile and fifty yards in 1:42J with ridiculous ease, 110 lbs. up, against an all-aged field. Honiton on Tuesday took up 120 lbs. and waltzed off five and one-half fur- longs in 1:C6|, Americano pressing her rather closely at the wind-up. Knapp is now the rider most in demand by the public and horse owners, though Larsen Fountain, Bullman, Clark and Jones are much in the pjblieeye. Max Miller was exonerated by the stewards because, as was stated, he flashed a hundred-dollar ticket for place only on Gold Enamel Oh, how easy it is to be exonerated, if a little piece of pasteboard is all that is required! I would again suggest to the stewards that, for the protection of the public, they refuse to accept the entrv of such horses as Gold Enamel and Hans Wagner, and when a horse like Hainault runs a good race on the dry heshould be expected to keep up the good work for a little while, at least. Down in Australia I am informed that they keep a horse in the background — don't try with him — for more than a year sometimes. But when that horse is "cut loose" and makes a grand showing, woe betide the whole out- fit if he doesn't run up to the mark thereafter. Off the turf they go, boots and baggage, and never to return, either. Here things are different. A horse runs disgracefully (about every other time) like Gold Enamel. All that seems to be required to set the owner right is a bit of pasteboard showing the he only played the horse for place when he turned up a winner. However, who knows that he did not have a few com- missioners "setting it in" on the horse to win? In the case of Gold Enamel, he ought to have been disquali- fied that day, if justice was to be done, as he fouled both Sea Air and True Wing, the second and third horses at the finish, respectively. That action (dis- qualification) would have been about the right thing, as it would have shown the owner of the copper-on- and-copper-off colt how the public generally felt when they placed confidence in him when at a short price. I believe every well-regulated jockey club should have a couple of good "reserve riders" in their employ and when one of those owners who seldom wiu at a short price has a horse in that goes back suspiciously in the betting, one of these "reserve" boys should be clapped on at the very last moment and the horses sent on their way without the making of any new book. Thus, if the owner who did not like the price was "cutting" with some bookmaker both would be financially burned if the horse won, as it should, and the public would be protected. The guilty would be sufficiently punished by losing his coin and that of his friend the penciler, while the public would have received "a run for its money." Ralph H. Tozee. It seems but a very few years since a record of 2:30 placed a trotter in what was then called the "charmed circle. " Then, as speed was more generally developed those in the 2:20 list were recognized as belonging to the exclusive set, but even they got to be common and the real top notchers were those in the 2:15 list and now the 2:10 performers are the only ones that are recognized as the real things. It will not be long until the trotting four hundred will be required to have 2:05 or better after their names. 10 ©He *3v£*?fccr ant* gtvartsman [APRIL 15, 19C5 ^m^m^mMmmm£-mmm^>mm%gmi0^^ ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

The third blue rock shoot of the season held by the Santa Clara County Fish and Game Protective Asso- ciation took place last Sunday morning on the club shooting grounds neitr the Bridge House on the MoDtorey road. A slight wind kept the day from bein - as perfect as it otherwise would have been Q.ilte a number of club members were present The vai nucloB on the entry list made by the absence of son e of the old shooters were filled by six or seven ne members. N. B. Cadwallader again broke the mi -t birds out of the twenty Bred at, but Whclanand Darriman broke 19 apiece in the club shoot at 25 targets. Among the shooters present were: Cadwallader, Schilling, Owens, Cushing,Tompkins, Holmes,Barnes, W. Lillick, McKagney, Bettman, Sampson, Larman, C. Nash, H. Lillick, Tischer, C. A. Whelan, C. H. Darriman, Ben Kooser, E. B. Potter, A. E. Elmer, and P. H. Doble. The Santa Lucia Gun Club held its second practice blue rock shoot on its grounds at the Salinas race track Sunday forenoon. The day was perfect and good scores were made. Twelve men faced the traps, the results of the 25 target match are as follows: Smart 23, Freitas 22, Greene 21, Littlefleld 20, Anderson 20, Iverson 20, White 19, Vierra 19, Sargent 18, Rohde 1 7, Kalar 1 7, Butler 16 Among the guests who figured in the shoot were Harry A. Greene, expert wing shot of Monterey, and Rollin J. Vierra of Blanco. The Vallejo Gun Club held the first regular club shoot of the season at their new grounds Sunday afternoon last. The scores shot in the 25 target club race were: John Sreig 22, J. S. Woods 22, S. A. Magistrini (aged 12 vears) 20, M. A. Clark 20, C. A. Brown IS, G. P. Magistrini IS, J. V. O'Hara 16, D S.

King, Jr., representing a San Francisco powder house was a visitor to the grounds The California Wing Club shoot for April came off at Ingleside last Sunday. Good scores were the aver- age and birds were lively enough for the most exacting trap shot. Among the visitors was Mr. J. T. Skelly of Wilmington, Del., who shot as a guest of the club. The wiuners of the club purse in the 12 bird race were Messrs. Golcher, Donohoe, Barker aud Nauman, who divided fonr moneys, the balance was cut up by the shooters who scored eleven birds. The six bird races followed the club shoot, high guns taking the moneys.

The Hip Justine' Medal and the new Hunter Arms Co. Medal will be contested for. S. A. Tucker of Parker Bros., who is now in town has promised to come out and help the boys turn 'em over. From now on, practice shoots will be the rule every Sunday. The big tournament is not faraway and the local cracks desire to get their arms and eyes into the best of form before it opens. An effort will be made to shoot off the entire tourna- ment over the Leggetl trap, but the "Experts" will be held in reserve if the entry is so heavy as to justify their use. The Leggett machine seems more economi- cal and does not require so many to handle it. Following the above, Scribe Hedderly gives us some more timely notes anent the sport in the lower end of the State:' "Bluerock week" is the latest. Southern California sporting already has Its weeks of tennis, of polo, of horse shot" and fall fair. Nothing is done by halves, and the ever-popular game of trap shooting is now to be given its full share of the fun seeker's time. Every spring several two-day tournaments are held by the various gun clubs in Santa Ana, San Diego, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and other points equally accessible. The scatter-gun sharks skirmish around tbe circuit from one to another as freely as business will permit, but owing to inability to get together on dates, considerable hardship has been worked to the attendance of each event. Tournament committees finally awoke to the fact, and the result is now an almost unbroken week's stretch of bluerock shootine, beginning with the big semi-annual tournament of the Los Angeles Gun Club at its grounds near Sherman. Saturday, April 22d, and concluding the following Sunday, April 23d. The programme for this event has already been circulated among the trigger fraternity who will now be glad to learn that Santa Ana's knights of the double barrel have come forward with another two days' tourna- ment to open in that city Tuesday, April 25th, con- tinuing through Wednesday and possibly into Thurs- day, according to the attendance. A liberal assort- ment of good things is scheduled, and the well-estab- lished reputation of the Santa Anans for doing the right thing in the right way is likely to be upheld. From the Orange county metropolis, the gunners can climb aboard a train for San Diego, where the Pastime Gun Club will open its two day's spring shoot Saturday morning, April 28. The added money featuies are quite up to tbe average of past years, and the largest atteddance of crack saucer splinterers ever gathered at the city of "bay 'n climate" is being prepared for already, though several weeks must elapse before tbe opening. By virtue of this convenient arrangement of dates, the attendance at all of the shoots, beginning with Los Angeles, will be greatly in excess of anything heretofore recorded. San Francisco is to be repre- sented by a full squad of leading experts, headed by the veteran Clarence Nauman, while another five will be on the ground from Arizona, under the able captaincy of "Pumpgun" McDonald, the fat firestick prophet of Phoenix and Tucson. Both these squads mean to go right on down the line to Santa Ana and San Diego. A number of Los Angeles marksmen will do the same, and a great "boost" to the game is ex- pected in consequence. Should the gun clube of Oceanside or some other of the towns which lie within the route desire to pull off a one-day shoot, Thursday and Friday will be available for it, thereby completely filling up tbe week. Most gunners will be glad of a day's rest after Saturday and Sunday at Sherman, but with that training behind tbem may feel prepared to go right on down the circuit. The Mount View Gun Club will shoot blue rocks on tbe first and third Sundays monthly during the cur- rent trap shooting season. Last Sunday the club shoot was attended by a num- ber of San Jose shooters. Mr. W. A. Robertson, of this city, who, by the way, is very popular with Coast shooters, was also present. A summary of scores shot during the day is as follows: Mount View Gun Club members — C. Whelan, shot at 150, broke 98; Kooser 140-99; Wilson 65-40: Distle 40-27; M. Whelan 60-38; Mande 85 62; Darriman 205- 164 San Jose shooters — Schilling shot at 110, broke 87; Van Sickle 90-57; Barker (J) 180-151; Cadwallader 120-103. W. A. Robsrtson, San Francisco, 140-106. The San Jose trap shooting devotees will hold regu- lar shoots on the second and fourth Sundays of each month during the present season. Trap shooting at Biggs, Butte county, and vicinity has a strong following among the sporttmen of that section. Henry Haselbusch, secretary and manager of the Biggs Gun Club, writes us that a two-days' blue rock tournament will take place at Biggs on September 30th and October 1st. There will be liberal added money inducements and a big list of merchandise prizes. The Davisville Gun Club held a blue rock shoot on the 2nd inst. A number of Woodland shooters were present and took part in the events. The Davisville Bhooters were at Woodlaod, last Sunday. The fol- lowing scores were made, after a ten bird waim-up by those who were early on the ground: Fifteen target race— E. L. Fissel 13 Bert Mont- gomery 15, Arthur Ough 8, Chas. Philliber 13, Wm. Daugherty 10, "Poor Bill" 12, C. F. Hadsell 9, G. B. Hoag 13, C Snider 12, F. P. Smith 12, L. E. Walker 14, G. M. Walker 9. Del Grieve 12. Second event, 10 target race — Fissell 10, Bert Mont- gomery 9, Ough 10, Philliber 8, Daugberty 7, E. E. Walker 9, "Poor Bill" 10, Del Grieve S, Hadsell 6, G. B. Hoag 8, Snider 9, G. M. Walker 8. Third event, 10 target race— Fissell 9, Montgomery 5, Smith 8, L. Walker 10, Daugberty 8, "Poor Bill" 8, Grieve 7, Hadsell 7, G. Hoag 9, Snider 8, G Walker 8. Fourth event, 15 target race — Fissell 12, Mont- gomery 9, Smith 12, Philliber 14, L. Walker 14, "Poor Bill" 11, Grieve 11, Hadsall 14, Hoag 10, Snider 11, G. Walker 9. Fifth event 15 target race — Fissell 14, Montgomery 13, Smith 14, L Walker 14, Daugherty 8, Bert Haven 4, "Poor Bill" II, Grieve 12, Hadsall 12, Hoag 14, G. Walker 6. Sixth event, five doubles— Dougherty 8, Fissell 7, Montgomery 6, Smith 6, L. Walker 8, "Poor Bill" 6, Grieve 8, Hadsall 9, Hoag 6. The last event was a freeze-out on doubles, Fissell leading with 11 out of .12, missiDg his fourth bird, Grieve lost his fourth and twelfth birds. NO TKO0T IN TBUCKEE RIVER. The numerous fishermen who have spent many hours along the banks of tbe Truckee river report that the stream is barren of trout. Those who can speak upon the subject with some authority say that the condi- tion is brought about by the many dams constructed along the river east of Truckee as "far as Floriston. APRIL 15, 1905] ®its gveelter axxti gtputrteman 11 GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. SANTA CRUZ HATCHERY. Although the new trout hatchery at Brookdale, Santa Cruz county, is not a local affair, local anglers are much interested in it, for the reason that they whip the streams of Santa Cruz as freely as do the anglers of that county, hence they expect to benefit by the stocking of the streams on the other side of the summit from the hatchery, which is now neariog completion. It is expected that within a week it will be in first class working order. The main building is finished and is undoubtedly the largest and best con- structed fish hatchery building in the State. The flume is ready to take the waters from Clear Creek to the hatchery. Workmen have begun to clear the grounds for the fish ponds, which will ue filled with full-grown trout of several varieties, to be furnished by the State Fish Commissioners from their hatchery at Sisson. Professor Frank Shebley, the superintendent of the Brookdale hatchery, has secured over 1,000.000 steel- head eggs, 200,000 of which have already been hatched. The mpjority of these eggs were taken from fish in the Soquel Creek and the balance from the San Lorenzo river Professor Shebley states that he will handle 5,000.000 eggs next year at the Brookdale hatchery. The product of these eggs will be planted in all Santa Cruz county streams. Both the anglers occupied the same room at Roche- fort's hostelry. The "Dook" retired rather early in- tending to get out on the stream before the dew was gone. The President met a congenial coterie of sports- men, all of them being devotees of the ancient and honorable pastime of whiskey poker. When the party broke up, Lemmer went up stairs to his quarters in- tending to "turn in" for a short nap. Taking a bunch of keys, etc., out of his pocket be placed the things on the bureau, among the stuff there was several white poker chips. The ('Dook" by this time had "turned out" and was nearly ready to be off with his rod. A bit of timely persiflage went back and forth between the two, when the "Dook" asked as he noticed the chips, "I say, Johnny me boy, what are these bloomin' things?" Lemmer replied promptly "Oh, I had abad nervous headache yesterday, and those are some tablets I bought at a drug store." "Well, I don't feel very bright this morning myself," said the "Dook." ' Are they easy to take, they look pretty big, me boy?" "No, they are easy," said Lemtm r, "just try one." The "Dook" promptly slipped a chip into his face and washed it down with a good measure of grog The "Dook" did not stay out fishing very long that morning. When he came back Rochefort was taken into confidence and he suggested an emetic. The "Dook" was none the worse for the joke but he has almost lost faith in the President. A BLUE JAY BATTUE. The Sacramento trap grounds were deserted last Sunday, capitol citj shooters reinforced by brother sportsmen of the vicinity turned out en masse for a round up of blue jays. During the day over 500 of the noisy birds were killed. Wbile tne objective effect of the "side hunt" was laudable in its inception and purpose and prompted no doubt by a legitimate desire to destroy (alleged) game and Qgg marauding birds we feel impelled to advise a bit of caution in the almost universal feeling of antipathy toward the blue jays that prompts a shot at one every time the chance to kill a jay is presented. Unless we are muchly mistaken the Biological Bureau of the U. S. Department of Agriculure has issued a pamphlet showing that the blue jay has a far better economic value than he is given credit for. We shall give publicity to this matter ere long— it will have the merit of showing the other side of the ques- tion at all events. Popular prpjudice founded in the main on heresay evidence as against the r3searches of ornithologists throughout the country. Nature is wise in many ways and it may be surprising to many to learn that the blue j^y has some good traits after all. HE ''PASSED THE BUCK." President John Lemmer and the "Dook of Hayden" were fishing at Poiot Reyes recently. On tbe return of the twain to the city the President related the fol- lowing incident: SAN JOSE ANGLING NOTES. Fishing, as a whole, during last week has been fair on the west side of the Santa Clara valley. All streams on the eastern side are still high, though the Alameda, Cojote, Santa Ysabel and Smith's creek are supposed to hold their usual number of fish. So far this season trout fishing is not as good as at the corresponding time last year. The fish are much smaller. Two or three weeks yet will suffice to show whether the high water is keeping the larger trout from bi ing or whether there are no big fish in the local streams. Worm fishermen have had two weeks of sport, and it will soon be time for the fly merchant. A few casts were made last Sunday by a local expert, with the gratifying result that the "banner basket" was taken. Between the dam and the mines the Guadalupe was lined with trout fishers, but the general statement was that all the fish had been caught, or if there were any in the holes they were not hungry. The largest fish this season have been caught in the Calaveras and the headwaters of the Coyote. The trout in Steven's creek are smaller than usual, as are also those in the Llagas. The trout in Smith's creek are average size. SALT WATER FISHING DOAYN SOUTH. A run of the biggest pompano ever seen at Port Los Angeles put in its appearance recently, much to the delight of a few anglers who happened to be on the long wharf at the right time to intercept twenty or thirty pounds of the gamy and delicate little things. The eves of fishermen are proverbially microscopic when dilating on the size of their own catches, and their verdicts usually taste better when wellseasoned, but some of the successful ones declare they caught pompano weighing from one-half to a full pound early in the week, though truth to tell, none of the latter siza were exhibited nor were any affidavits executed. The high westerly gales lately were unfavorable to the sport at the port or in fact at any of the beaches except perhaps Sin Pedro, which is fairly well screened by the hills from such blows. With a quiet, fair morning, sport will prove ample reward to tbose who make the tiresome trip to the long wha*"f, bass and sculpins being plentiful there whatever the state of weather. A number of trolling parties were forced to post- pone their outside prospecting trips until after tbe sea had quited down from the westerlies that have been blowing of late. A few barracuda are beginning to take the jigs and the usual amount of bonita, albi- core and skipjacks can be hooked in the channel. Launches which have skirted tbe kelp around Point Fermin had no trouble in getting nice boxes of big bass on their jigs. The surf fishing is practically at a standstill. No run of mackerel has been reported for some time, though scattering ones are taken nearly every morn- ing off the longer wharves. BUNTING JACKALS WITH HOUNDS. A popular substitute for fox hunting in India is found in riding to hounds, the chase being a jackal instead of Mons. Reynard. The following account of a recent jackal bunt near Bombay is taken from the Indian Field On this particular occasion some forty members of the Bombay Jackal Club were present, the field being of moderate dimensions by reason of the demise of a prominent member and the consequent absence of many of his personal friends. The morning was an exceedingly cold one and the complete absence of dew did not hold out promise of good sport. A jack, however, was soon found in the Parlar Woods which going away in tbe direction of Sabar Hili gave the field a regular breather. A check of short duration occurred after arun of a few minutes when the hounds found that theii quarry had doubled back parallel to his original line. After another exciting chase lasting about ten minutes the jack was pushed out into the open in front of the Jackal Club, where he was viewed. A further chase for a mile and a half culminated in the pack pulling their quarry down near the Coorla Rifle Butts. The field next retook themselves to Sahar, where a well-known covert provided a jack, but the hounds after running in vety uncertain fashion for half a dozen fields threw up, and although some time was spent in investigating every possible line of fl'ght, nothing further could be made Lf this jack. A move was then made for the brushwood coverts behind the Andheri Road close to Marole Valley, where a third jack was found which led the field at a killing pace across the paddy fields and over the grassland ahead for a distance of two miles, the pack leading the foremost riders by nearly a quarter of a mile, a most unusual occurrence with the Bombay hounds in fair riding country. The chase was continued at racing speed towards Goregaum and over the railway line, where after a run which lasted thirty minutes without a single check and at racing speed from start to finish, the jack surrendered his brush. This finished the morning's sport as the pack at the erd of the run were thoroughly tfone whilenot a third of the field could have got another gallop out of their mounts. His Excellency Lord Lamington was out for the third time this season and was well up at the finish of both runs. DOINGS IN DOGCOM. A BREEDERS' CLUB. It would seem that Marsh Byers of Grand Rapids, Mich., struck a popular idea in proposing the forma- tion of a Breeders' Club judging from the hearty ap- proval his plan has received from leading kennel men says Harry Lacey in the Boston Herald. In his pro- spectus, Mr. Byers says: "Tbe Dog Breeders' Club of America, as its name implies, will be thoroughly American, and be composed of individual members, and each member an exhibitor, or otherwise, will have equal privileges. The club will endeayor to fill its special and unoccupied field of usefulness in the encouragement *nd promotion of dog sho fa and dog breeders of the several and popular lines, followed by the breeders and associations representing all other classes of pure-bred domestic animals. The classifica- tion recommended is as follows: Dogs: Puppies, 6 months and under 12 months; yearlings, 12 months and under 24 months; two-year-olds, 24 months and under 36 months; three-year olds, 36 months and under 48 months. Free-for-all class for first prize winners, champions not barred. BitcheB: Puppies, 6 mouths and under 12 months; yearlings, 12 months and under 24 months; two-year-olds, 24 months aiid under 36 months; three-year olds, 36 months and under 49 months. Free-for-all class for first prize winners, champions not barred. In addition to the above, a dog winning three first prizes in free-for all class is entitled to be called champion. An exception to the above can be made in Spaniels, where elapses may be divided by color. Also in others where weight is a customary division. Breeders' classes are pro- vided wherein a bitch and her prod uce, sires and their get, kennel prizes, showing sire and dam, one or both. In fact, the description from the breeder's standpoint is almost endless. The reader will note that these are only ideas and are submitted for consideration. The Breeders' Club is as yet unorganized and needs the breeders of America to bacfc up its promotion, after which it will become a permanent fixture, and rec- ognized, as it will be, by the breeders' clubB of America, it will stand on a substantial foundation." COLLIES WANTED IN THE EAST Mr. Thos. S. Griffiths, of Spokane, Informs us that he had received a wire offer on the 5th inst. from "the East" tendering a good figure for Glen Tana Bounder and Glen Tana Cracksman. The offer will be closed and the dogs were to be shipped uhis week, it was intimated. Mr. Griffiths is to be congratulated upon the recog- nition of his efforts in the interest of the breed We had hoped to see both of the dogs above mentioned at the 'Frisco show. Glen Tana Kennels will probably be represented here by Glen Tana Marquis, Glen Tana Piccolo and the bitches Brandane Marionslea, Rippowam's Rain- bow and Rippowam's Radiance. The Spokane Kennels is unquestionably the leading Collie establishment on this Continent West of the Mississippi and will give the top notchers of the East a close run. IRISH TERRIER CLUB OF AMERICA. We are in receipt of a circular from the Irish Terrier Club of America which states: The Irish Terrier Club of America will make it a strict rule, not to offer or award any club prizes at shows where judges officiate whose names do not appear on the club's official lists. Every Irish Terrier competing for special prizes offered by the Irish Terrier Club of America, must be registered in the A. K. C. S. book. Whenever the term "American bred" is used, it is to be construed as meaning a dog or bitch whelped in the United States or Canada, and in case of a bitch Berved out of the United States or Canada, Bhe must have been owned in the United States or Canada, prior to such service, to make her produce eligible to compete. The officers of the club are: President, Howard Willets; Vice-President. Singleton Van Schaick; Treasurer, Wm. W. Caswell, 18 Wall St., New York; Secretary, O. W. Donner, 117 Wall St., New York. (Delegate to the American Kennel Club, Singleton Van Schaick.) The official judges for 1905 are: L. Loring Brooks, 53 State St., Boston; Wm. W.

The Seattle Kennel Club's tenth annual show is on in Seattle this week, April 12, 13, 14 and 15. At a recent meeting o the club the members present sub- scribed a guarantee fund of $550 to cover tbe expenses of the show. Fifteen solid silver trophies will be put up for the winners in the various classes. The prizes will be given outi ight to the owners of the winning dogs. The decision to hold a bench show this year was not arrived at until every effort had faihd. For some months efforts have been made to consolidate the two kennel clubs of that city, and have all tbe fanciers In that section work in harmony to -uve one big show. These efforts failed, and now Seattle will have two dog shows this year instead of one, which is to be regretted John Riplinger, president of the Seattle Kennel Club, addressed a letter to Dr. C. W. Sharpies, presi- dent of the Seattle Dog Fanciers' Association, out- lining a plan by which the two clubs could consolidate. He proposed that twenty members of the Seattle Kennel Club betaken into the Seattle Dog Fanciers' Association, without paying the initiation fee of $5, and that the other members of the Seattle Kennel Club be given season tickets for tbe bench show this year. In return the Seattle Kennel Club proposed to turn over all its property and good will, and disband, and every member of the old club would doeverything possible to make the show of the new club a big success. This offer was rejpeted. Ubarles McAllster, secre- tary of the Seattle Dog Fanciers' Association, wrote that the offer could not be accepted in tbat form, because it was in conflict with the constitution of the new club The constitution of the new club provides that members must come in as individuals, an> each member shall pay an initiation fee of $5. 12 ©tte igveeftev axxb gpovtsnxaxx [APRIL 15, 1905 In the Heart of Tropical Mexico. The writer and Mr. W. J. Robinson of Lincoln, Neb., left Kansas City on the night of April 26, 189b, over the Rock Island for a trip to Mexico City, and to pointB southwest on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Reaching Mexico City without mishap and remaining over night, we left next corning for the city of Vera Cruz, over what is probably one of the most attractive scenic routes on this continent. From the high table lands among the clouds, at the base of Orizaba peak, crowned with eternal snow, we seemed to fall down, past cities and towns, and great plantations of coffee, cane and tropical fruits; through virgin forests with flaming flowers, down to the great coast plain, to the fine city of Vera Cruz, lying spread out at the gulf side. , ., ., The cables brought rumors of the attack on Manila. It was a restless, leverish night in the city, the large Spanish element insolent and bitter, the American's cool and confident Early morning cables confirmed the news over night and it seemed that Admiral Dewey was getting in his work. Robinson and I left by early morning train for Alvaradoand by afternoon boat from that point up the Cosamaloopam river to a ;own of that name, and the next day by boat to the head of navigation at that time. From this point, with horses and guides, we plunged into those great, wonderful forests south toward our destination. This was Sunday; the day's ride being over hill and down valley through those splendid forest scenes that stamped themselves on one's memory forever. At intervals we saw a flight of plover or parrots; then a flight of handsome wild ducks, of a variety only found in that country; then a flock of wild turkeys on the wing from one stretch of woods to the next. Then a deer ambled stealthily out from a bush clump to gaze at ub with wildeyed wonder, breaking away with a leap that spanned the path. More turkeys running at full speed ahead of our horses; and a score of Mexican pheasants (chuchulajas) raised their startled cacklefrom the crown of a lofty palm or other trees; at frequent intervals we heard the large monkeys that feed on palm nuts and fruits. Overhead were flights of brilliant macaws or hornbill; a fierce looking tiger cat slipped across the tropic path, too intent upon getting his dinner to care any- thing for ub. The day passed quickly amid such scenes, and night found us at a river crossing and town with a prospect of supper and a cot for sleeping, which both of us welcomed after the day 's fasting and hard riding. Early morn- ing found us again on the road. Robinson ahead, with Tatahiucapa, our objective point, only forty miles away, where we arrived about the middle of the afternoon, at the mercy of our host, a Spaniard full of hate for us and all our tribe. We soothed him and a viciouB brother with bright American dollars; got the promise of bed, meals, boats and horses, and settled down for a month of it with the nearest white man over fifty miles away. The business feature of our trip was to survey and make plats of a large tract of land, about 50,000 acres, stretching along the Colorado river for forty miles. Along with this the writer wanted to see something of the game and sporting conditions of the country. Our first afternoon was spent getting such rest as was possible in our bamboo quarters, open at all times to dogs, pigs, chickens and children, all of which there seemed a large supply. Our waking time was spent in looking up our transit, guns, leggings, etc., and getting hold of extra large hats to protect against the tropical sunshine. Our host and his pretty wife seemed to understand gringos can eat. Their fatted calf (literally) was killed; the supply of bread and rice and good red wine was increased. They evidently expected us to do our whole duty in that line, and we did. The writer can do little Spanish talk, Robinson not a word. The early morning found our horses at the door, with a mozo, or servant, who did duty as guide and body help. The landlord was in front with the road cutterB, tape and stake men, with a special man for the transit. This was Saturday. We moved Indian style. Our way led across a rocky river ford, then through a dense growth of jungle in the river bottom to an open mesa or prairie covered with high rich grass, with plentiful signs of bear and other big game; to the foothills or amall mountains covered with short grasB and small, scattered trees. Deer and tiger cats were in sight nearly all the time, and wild turkeys seemed plentiful. We got our bearings and made the first station for establishing a base line of operation. Had a good dinner from the morals, or native bags, with coffee made on the spot and wine cooled in a pretty spring nearby, followed by a siesta or nap, which is the cherished right of every one who lives in Mexico. The nap over, all hands to work; bearlnge were taken and the machete men swung into line, hacking and slashing like so many demons clearing the path for the base line of ono mile, which brought up to an ancient boundary mark known as the Three Crosses. From this point thu work people and pack horses were sent borne and, with our landlord and mozo we took a turn to look for game. We had not gone far when a huge clumsy sloth sprawled across the brow of a hill about a hundred yards away. The deBire to teat our Winchesters proved too strong and a shot rang out *hicb penetrated hie carcass, but seemed to give him little trouble, a Becond ebot found a vital 6' ot and bis slotbsblp bit thu dust. A short distance away at the top of a sharp spur o saw a clay bank where the deer came to lick for lit. Horses were tied to graze and we deployed right nd left to look for a pair of horns. It was not long to wait, a shot ringing out and a pretty deer lay at full length ready for the knife. Then homeward in the cool of a tropical evening, awed by the mystery of great forest solitudes, listen- ing attentively to the myriad voicesof birdshastening to rest, with here and there the cry of a beast of prey intent upon finding a toothsoa e supper; across the river ford, up the hill, dismount from the horses and rest. Sleep comes quickly and sweetly in that strange tropical atmosphere. In the early morning of Sunday, Robinson was on deck prepared for a stroll with his trusty gun, always in ready shape. The writer carried a more peaceful weapon in the shape of an Eastman camera. The days passed quickly for the next week, cutting roads, running lines, marking boundaries, taking frequent shots at the game nearly always in sight, having little time to long for the States and home and loved ones. Sunday came again with its rest and as we sat in the cool of the morning chatting with our treacherous landlord, there-came to our ears a medley of noises from an Indian village a few hundred yards away. Men were shouting, women screaming, children crying, dogs barking, in a savage, fearful way, and cattle helping out with the sounds of distress. In the midst of the uproar a muffled shot rang outfrom alittlecast- iron shotgun, the only kind ever owned by a native of the tropics. We rushed to quarters, seized our guns and took a bee line for the scene of action. Haif way we met a native running to tell us that a tiger [jaguar], had just attacked some cattle pens, and that he had been slightly wounded. We put on all speed and soon came to a bank of earth. A throng of men and boys, women and children, stood at a respectful distance from a great hole which led under the trunk of a fallen tree, where the tiger had taken refuge. A shot well aimed made short work and the great animal was dragged out into the light. His feet were tied together and the body was swung on a pole carried by two men. At the cabin a snap-shot was taken and his pretty skin taken off to be brought back to the States as a trophy. At the end of the fourth week our work was done and early one Thursday morning, in a large covered canoe, and with sufficient supplies for the trip, we said "adios" to the Spaniards and started on our long trip down the Colorado. The stream wound in and out, with the finest views at every turn. We slept, and watched by turns. Robinson had learned a few Spanish words by this time and he would practice on the two boatmen by the hour. They seemed to learn more of his language than he did of theirs. The first day out they learned to say "All right," and pretty soon all their conversation with Robinson consisted of theBe two words. Deer were frequently in sight and the easy motion of the boat allowed fine sport for our guns. Deer have very little fear of the natives and will walk about within easy distance, but seem to fear the white man by instinct. We had four long days of this tedious river trip. As a matter of precaution we always ate our meals and camped at night on an island. Before leaving the Spaniards we had overheard the two brothers plotting to kill us. We prevented this by keeping a steady eye on them, but they offered a sum of money and our belongings to our boatmen if they would kill us on the way down the river turns. We overheard the same plot further down the river among the natives, but we gave tbem no show to attack us and pushed on. It is indeed pleasant to state that our boatmen remained true to us. During the forenoon of our last day out we heard a sound in the forest very like the bellowing of a large bull. Our boatmen at once told us the sounds were made by mouos (monkeys). We landed opposite the sounds and the writer, with one of the boatmen who was armed with a machete, struck into the thick forest of palm trees lining the bank. The sound came at inter- vals louder and fiercer, with a peculiar thrilling effect that made thecold shudders run up and down a man's spinal column and caused him to wish he was back in the States with mother. But it would never do to show the white feather in the presence of the muscular boatman with the machete, so with a steady grip on my good Smith & Wesson, calibre 38, we pushed into the jungle. At the edge of the opening in the undergrowth we could hear the bellowing of the male monkeys, the whining and crying of the kid monkeys as their mothers slapped them over the head for disobedience, and then would crack palm nuts for them to eat. The tops of the palms seemed alive with monkeys, all busy feeding. We stepped boldly into the opening and were at once discovered by the monkeys. The baby monkeys leaped on the backs of their mothers, twisting their long paws into the long hair with a tight grip. The mother monkeys seemed to think they had business elsewhere. Some climbed down and ran away, most of them climbed higher up and tried to hide; only a few sat still and looked down. The daddy monkeys showed fight; stamped with their feet and yelled with rage; twistiDgoff great branches and hurling them at us, all the time getiing out of our way. After watching them for a time, the writer selected a large female, lower down than the rest, and put a ball in her ham. The effect was pitiful. She would lick the wound and hold up the wounded leg. Then she would seat herself and cry like a human, the great tears rolling down her face in a natural way that made one sorry. The bull monkeys kicked up a terrible row at this stage. After a shot or two more that failed to land on any of the monkeyB, we retreated in good order, whether out of pity for the wounded female or respect for the angry males, the writer does not care to say. We reached the boat, on down the river and toward night landed at oar destination, secured horses and were soon beaded for the railroad station, ten miles away. A pleasant evening ride brought us to a poor station on the Tehuantepec railroad, where bed and supper never seemed better at the fineBt hotel in the States. For a whole month we had been buried in the tropical wilderness; we had not been able to get a lins from home; we had not seen a newspaper or periodical of any kind; not a word had we heard of what our navy had been doing for the decrepit fleets of Spain. That night from our Mexican landlord we had the first word to tell us of all the wonderful happenings of that eventful month of May, 1898. At this point I will say good bye to our readers with the promise to Bay something in the future of our stay in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. San Francisco Fly-Casting Club.

CATALOGUE. The Savage Arms Co., Utica, N. Y., have just issued a beautiful catalogue which reflects the high quality of their products in every way. Many new Savage rifles are shown — in fact, there are six or seven of these, together with several new lines of ammunition. Any sportsman does himself an injustice not to send fd- this catalogue, which should be designated Cata- logue No. 15, inclosing a stamp and mentioning the BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN. April 15 19U5] ©he ^veettev cm© gtptrciematt 13 **=> THE FARM Hogs tor the Packer. "The ultimate aim of swine husbandry is meat production, consequently pure bred swine, to be of direct financial bene- fit to the farmer and stockman, should also be Btrong in desirable market type and quality. In too many instances we find breed quality and market qu lity widely different. Heavy shoulders, pendu- lous flabby bams and blubber-covered backs and sides may be pleasing to the eye of the breeder and add to the grace- ful finished outline of the live animal, but they do not conduce to profit in the Bmokehouse or pork cellar of the packer. The day of the 500-lb. lard hog is prac- tically past. While it ia true market conditions vary from year to year and even from week to week, at times placing, a premium on heavy hogs, we find the tendency is towards smooth, even hogs of medium weight, say from 225-300 lbs. Such should be entirely free from surplus development of fat in any part and should possess smooth shoulders laid well in with the line of the body, hams moderately heavy with firm flesh and without any surplus fat. Flanks should be well let down to permit a large development of belly meat. The back should be of good length, wide and smooth, with an even covering of fat and an absence of large patches of fat above the bams. Since the most valuable cuts are taken from the back, loin and sides, good length and, in the case of the side, depth is desirable. While it ia difficult to describe the ideal barrow the following points cover the chief de-irable features. In a general wav a barrow should have a smooth finished appearance and should possess a symmetrical outline with well balanced development in all parts. He should Btand squarely on 60und, strong feet with well shaped limbs showing plenty of bone to carry him to the desrable weight with- out breaking down. The head and neck should De of medium weight, shoulder and hams smooth and laid evenly with the side, the former free from a Bhield and the hams firm and compact. There should be no deposits of surplus fat be- hind the shoulder, over the loinB, around the tail-head or along- bottom lines." Fortunately we find the ideal type of packer's bog ia also the most profit- able type for the farmer to produce. The characteriaties deacribed stand for economy in production, early maturity and highest market value, so that in the production of medium weight butcher hogB of high grade the interest of both the packer and the producer are con- aerved. ■• Scarcity of Drafters. The Team Owners' Journal is of the opinion that the present scarcity of eood draft horses is likely to continue for some time. It says: 'The growing scarcity of heavy draft horses is again causing much concern among dealers. Proprietors of the small stables where stock is bought from week to week as the trade demands, are finding it very difficult to obtain first-class draft- ers, and even the largest dealers, who contract for the pick of horses on the breeding and feeding farms far in advance of their readiness for marketing, are constantly forced to pay higher prices for their future supplies. "Two or three things are at present operating in the direction of higher prices for heavy draft horses. One is the fact that contractors who work thousands and thousands of horses are using much heavier teams than they used a few years ago. Thev have found that it pays to handle big loads, and their trucks are now built two carry two and a half yards of earth where they used to carry one yard and a quarter. To do this work thev require bigger horses than before. Formerly con- tractors bought horses under fourteen hundred pounds for their work, but they won't look at anything under fifteen hundred pounds now, and most of them want animals weighing around sixteen hundred pounds and seventeen hundred pounds. It takes a tremendous number of big horses to supply this new demand, and the worst of it is the breeders are not raising enough of them. "High prices of beef seem to have tempted a great many Western farmers to drop horses and go into cattle raising in the last few years. There is no getting around the fact that steers pay best as a rule. They are ready for market in two years, where it takes four to raise a horse. Then again, the difficulty of raisingheavy drafters is not to be denied. Out of twenty colts not more than ten will develop into horses weighing over fourteen hundred pounds, no matter how big their sires and •lams may be. Then cut out the blemished ones and the ones that get sick and die, and the breeder has really only a small percentage of such drafters as the market now demands '' Dead Hogs. The proper disposal of dead hogs meanB a great deal to the farmer and also to the community in which he lives. He should consider it his duty to keep his surround- ings as free from infectious diseases as possible. This applies not only in the matter of properly disposing of dead animals, but to everything under his care. His stables should be thoroughly venti- lated and should receive an application of whitewash once or twice a year, to which has been added a little carbolic acid. If an animal becomes sick he should give it proper attention, and if the disease is a new one to him, or one which he knows is contagious, he should quarantine the animal until well. If une of his hogs dies he should dis- pose of the body in such a way that no trouble will come from it. Too often this is overlooked. While many men would not harm their neighbors ir they knew it, they will often drag the body of a dead hog into some gully or out-of-the way place and leave it to decay. The place looks to them remote and thev do not think of the harm that may come, In case the hog dies of some contagious disease the germs of this disease are at first, of course, very numerous in the body. They are easily transferred from the body to anything that comeB in con- tact with it. In this way dogB and wild animals, such as vermin and Bnakes, come in contact with the body and then carry the germs to neighboring farms. One can readily see how dangerous this is to the community. The practice of burying diseased ani mals is generally resorted to and is a very good method, although there is still some danger, especially is not put down deep enough. But it is best to always burn the body, thus eliminating nearly all possible chances of further danger. If carried out thoroughly and properly very little, if lany, bad results ca 1 come from it. There really Bhould be certain require, ments of Btate laws applying to t tie treat- ment of dead bodies of diseased animals — J. B. Ashby, in KimbalVs Dairy Far- mer. m . SometimeB cream churned at too low a temperature will foam and the butter will not come. A small amount of warm water added to the cream may relieve the difficulty. Alfalfa lessens the feed bill, keeps cows in good milk flow and keep? them in about the proper condition for profitable calf raising. o Sponges. S. Adderley, 307 Market St Racing! Racing!

By far the most popular of the varieties of geese is the Toulouse. It has heen longer known than some other useful kinds like the African, and is a very rapid grower and reaches a large size. The standard weights are twenty pounds for full-grown ganders and eighteen pounds for females, but even this weight is often exceeded. The color is gray — m some strains a light gray, others darker, the under parts and fluff white, bill and legs redish orange. As layers the Toulouse rank medium, being rather less prolific than the African, but more so than the Emden. The season's output is from twenty to forty eggs per bind, geese two or three yearB old laying more than very young geese. Their disposition is quiet and they are less troublesome to care for than some other breeds and will get along very well in a field without much water. A cross of the Emden and Toulouse has been pro- nounced the best all-round cross for gen- eral market purposes for both early and late markets and for the production of large geese for the holiday markets. The cross breds are large, rapid-growing and make a good-looking carcass. Geese are generally considered more profitable than ducks, although only a small number can be kept, because they desire wider range, but when provided with sufficient pasture they require little attention, and will secure a good part of their living if they have access to marshy lands or small streamB. Sometimea they begin to lay as early as January, but usually not to any extent until March. At nesting time they should be provided with barrels containing straw or hay, so that they will nest where they can be kept in sight The first litter may be taken away and hatched under hens or by incubator, after which the goose will lay another litter. Breeders usually keep the geese laying as long as possible, hatching most of the eggs with hens. The eggs hatch in thirty days, and a goose of average size will cover about fifteen. For the first few days they are liable to be chilled, but after the first week they are more hardy and require little care. The usual plan is to confine them in small pens or yards which can be moved to fresh grass every day, because they require considerable pasture Besides the grasB or clover, they are fed on a mixture of Indian meal and shorts mixed with water but squeezed almost entirely dry before feeding. When three or four weeks old, they should be eiven wide range, but within an enclosure When fattening, they are confined and fed a mixture of ground grains with beef scraps gradually increasing the proportion of corn meal and beef scraps until the food is about ten per cent beef scraps and ninety per cent meal. Toulouse geese reach a weight of ten pounds at ten weekB of age, and as a rule are sold more profitably at that weight as green geese. The market for these begins in June and lasts until March. G.

ECUADOR Henry Wheatley, Napa GREEN'S RUFUS The Bay wood Stud, San Mateo PROF. CARLYLE and the Colorado Experiment StatioD, who nave been assisted by the United States Government to the extent of 825,000 in an effort to establish a breed of American carriage horses, are being criticised for their selection of foundation stock by several turf editors and others who believe they could select a better stallion than he has picked out to head the stud. Why not give the Professor an opportunity to at least raise one crop of colts before beginning to hammer him. He is a very close student of breeding, a keen observer and a good judge of what constitutes a good carriage horse. He does not expect to establish the type he wants in one or two generations, but the experiment he has begun is entitled to all the assistance the United States Government and his State have given it, and the horse criticsshould notbegin their knock- ing until he has had an opportunity to make a start. The Rider and Driver would doubtless be very pleased to have a hackney selected to head the experi- mental stud, but Prof. Carlyle has selected an Ameri- can trotting stallion by a son of Robert McGregor, out of a Nutwood mare, and it's dollars to doughnuts that this horse will come nearer to siring the type the Professor is aiming to produce than would any stallion selected by those who are making these ob- jections to the selection. If Prof. Carlyle can pursue his experiments for ten years without interference from the outsiders who imagine they know more about horse breeding than he does, we believe he will have laid the foundation for a breed of American carriage horses that will be far ahead of anything yet produced in any of the foreign carriage breeds. The American trotter has more of the qualities of the perfect carriage horse than either the hackney or the French or German coachers. The only thing lacking in him is that he has not been regularly bred to a carriage type. If a branch of the American T^HE STALLION STAKE for foals of 1902 will be 1 one of the important stakes to be decided at the California State Fair this year. This stake was inaugurated in the early part of 1902 and was made for the foals of stallions that were to be named by May 1st of that year. The owner of each stallion paid in the amount the horse was standing for that season, and the prices ranged from $100 down to $15. There were 3S stallions nominated in the stake May 1, 1902 and the total amount paid on them was $1140. The conditions of the stake require the State Board of Agriculture to add $1000 to the stake. On June 1, 1903 entries were received of 93 colt6 and fillies sired by the stallions named, each paying an entrance fee of $5. On March 1, 1904, second payment of $10 each was made on 62 of these foals. There has now been paid into this stake $2225, which with the $1000 added by the society makes the stake worth $3225 to date. On the first day of next month a payment of $15 is due on all foals eligible to the stake and on August 1st next a final payment of $20 will be due. It is within reason to suppose that the stake will be worth at least $4000, of which 60 per cent or S2400, will go to the trotting divis.on and 40 percent or $1600 to the pacing division. This will make the pacing race the richest event for three-year-olds that has been contested on this Coast for a long time. With these two events on the pro- gram, and the Occident and Stanford stakes, and the pacing division for colts and fillies entered in those events, there will be fiveharnessstakeson the program of the State Fair this year. supplied the market with horses, the ranges where thousands were bred annually, are rapidly passing, as land is becoming more valuable each year. It is the small breeders who must supply the future demand for horses, and the prediction is made by men who know most of the horse market that prices will be higher for several years to come and may never be lower than they are now. The foals of 1906 will be sold at top prices, and if the market fails again it will not be until after next year's foals are matured and sold. This is the opinion of the best posted horse dealers of the country. Breed your mares this year. THE SPRING HORSE AUCTION to be held by J. L McCarthy & Son-, live stock auctioneers at Irvington Park, Portiani, Oregon, May 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th, is advertised in our issue today. The princi- pal feature of the sale is the consignment of 75 head from the famous Brook Nook Stock Ranche of C. X. Larrabee, Montana. Brook Nook has some of the choicest bred horses in the country and Mr. Larrabee has long been breeding with an idea of producing horses that not only have speed, but high action and beauti- ful conformation. His stallions are Alcone 6780, by Alcyone, Alfonso 9700, by Baron Wilkes, Burion bv Alcone, Jubillee de Jarnette 5105, one of the best Morgan stallions liviDg, Keeler 2:13} by King Rene, Vice Regent by Mambrino King, and others. The mares on the Brook Nook Ranche are as choice a lot as can be found on any stock farm this side the Mississippi river and the consignment of horses to this sale should be worth going a long way to bid on. There are sixteen matched pairs, many of which are sixteen hands high, and all are good colors, four and five years old and thoroughly broken single and double. None of these horses have been worked for speed except the pacer Knick Knack that has a record of 2:24} by Alcone that took his record last year and is a sure 2:10 prospect. Read the advertisement in our business columns. RACING TROTTERS TO SADDLE is being re- vived by the members or that very excellent organization the Cleveland Driving Club, and their enterprise is worthy of emulation by other organiza- tions. We should very much like to see purses offered for trotting races to saddle by some of the organiza- tions that give professional racing. The Breeders Association in this State, the State Fair and the Los Angeles Association could afford to have at least one race of this description on their programs even though the lists of starters were small. Horseback riding is becoming more popular than ever as a means of recre- ation and it is the most healthful exercise known. Three-fourths of the saddle horses in use were sired by trotting bred stallions and very many trotting horses make excellent saddle animals. By offering purses for trotting races to saddle, the use of the well bred trotter as a saddle horse will be encouraged. THE SPEED COMMITTEE of the State Agricul- l tural Society is at work on a six days' program of harness racing to be held at the State Fair this year, which will be announced immediately after the meeting of the Board of Directors next week. The fair will open on Saturday, September 2d and continue through the following week, closing on Saturday. There will be no racing on Monday, so it will be possible to start the same horse three times during the meeting, with at least two days between the races, and the program has been arranged to that end. There will be five stakes for three-year-olds — the Occident, Stanford and Stallion stake for trotters, and the Occident-Stanford pace and the pacing division of the Stallion stake. A DISPERSAL SALE of the Lima Stock Farm, in Ohio, owned by Mr. J. C. Linneman, was held last week. Prices were good throughout. No sensa- tion sales were made but the average was over $300 for sixty head. The top price was brought by a three- year-old filly by McKinney, dam Coral by Electioneer. $1600 was paid for her. A yearling by McKinney out of a Norval mare sold for $760. The old stallion Nor- val 2:142 by Electioneer, 23 years of age, was knocked down at $700. THE SAN FRANCISCO DRIVING CLUB, an organization formed for the purpose of occasion" ally holding an afternoon of racing for small purseB, has decided to hold a meeting May 30th. The track has not yet been selected, but will be at the next meeting. The following officers of the club were recently elected: President, Joseph McTigue; vice president, E. Buck; treasurer, F. Lauterwasser, Sr. ; secretary, F. Lauterwasser, Jr.; executive committee — D. Lieginger, L. Jutting, C. Becker, R. Miller, W. O'Kane, A. Benson, W. E. Gillespie; sergeant at arms, J. Zammitt. SPOKANE INTERSTATE FAIR has been given $300 by the American Hereford Cattle Breeders Association aod the same amount by the American Shorthorn Breeders Association, which sums will be added to the usual premiums given to these breeds. This will make the most liberal prizes ever given to these breeds in the State of Washington, and Mr. John L. Smith, Superintendent of Live Stock at Spokane, hopes to induce all the herds showing at the Lewis and Clark Exposition to include Spokane in their show routes. OUR ESTEEMED CONTEMPORARY, the Ameri- can Sportsrnan of Cleveland, Ohio, is greatly in error when it says that this journal has announced that it will soon print facts to prove that the gran- dam of Lou Dillon was by Capt. Webster. We have never made any such claim. Our reference was to Venus, the dam of Sidney Dillon. P. W. Hodges, who is one of the best students of breeding among the California trainers and who has bred a number of very fast ones, has sent four of his best mares to be bred to Nutwood Wilkes this year. They are Queen R. 2:12| by Redondo 12875, Malvina by McKinney 2:11}, Atherine by Patron, and the very handsome mare Fuchsia by McKinney dam by Gossi- per. All these mares were bred to Mr. Hodges' young stallion Owynex last year. Queen R. has a filly at foot, and Malvina a colt. The other two are due to foal very shortly. About twenty prominent horsemen of Toledo, busi- ness men, professional men and county officials, have agreed to put $100 each into a fund as a guaranty and give a three days' esrly spring meeting with three races each day, with uniform $300 purses. These gentlemen are mostly members of the Gentlemen's Driving Club of Toledo. The half-mile track of the Toledo Exposition Company has been leased for the meeting. The dates will be in JuDe, but the time has not yet been fixed. Toledo has a population of 150,000. Greco, son of McKinoey and Aileen by Anteeo, grandam Lou Milton, is getting a good class of mares this year. He has been bred to mares by Directum, Nutwood Wilkes, Birchwood, Grand Moor, Wayland W., Diablo, Altivo. Waldsteio, Eclectic (own brother to Arion 2:073) and others. W. R. Johnson, who has him in charge at Pleasanton, writes us that Greco's season will positively close June 1st.

It is expected that work will be started in June on the new State Fair buildings at Sacramento. J. I. Richards, of Salt Lake City, has purchased the fast pacing mare Alpha W. 2:08 by Judge Norval. A half-mile track will be constructed at Arroyo Grande this summer and races held there this fall. Four early closing stakes of $1000 each close June 0th for the Grand Western Circuit meeting at Daven- port, Iowa. The A S ck ■ Fin-in'* stallion number, issued Aprlltith, is one of the best ever gotten out by that excellent journal. Conley & McTague, of Montana, recently purchased a bunch of sixteen broodmares from S. E. Larabie, which they will use in breeding mules. Key Delta, a four-year-old daughter of Rey Direct 2:10, who trotted a mile to wagon in 2:22} last fall, has joined Vance Nuckols' stable at Memphis. Lena A. 2:2U, winner of the Occident stake of 1899, has been sent to Los Angeles by her owner J. W. Giblin of Marysville, to be bred to Zombro 2:11. Lakeview, Oregon, will hold a fair and race meeting this year. The money has already been raised to assure its success and the program will soon be announced. Prince Alert 1:591 has broken the English record for half-mile pacers. He "hoppled" the distance at Aintree in 1:03 4 5, which cut the English mark just six seconds. There is some talk of a spring race meeting being held at Marysville. There is a good track there and the local horsemen could get considerable sport out of a day or two of racing. Reginald C. Vanderbilt has recently purchased from William H Mayer the hackney stallion Tiger Lily for $5000. Tiger Lily is six years old and is the winner of many blue ribbons. Rey Del Valle, who showed a mile in 2:07J (for Dave McCIary at Buffalo last season;, Reelected 2:11 and The King 2:101 are a few of the good ones in John (Directum) Kelly's Speedway stables. If you want the most fun and the biggest racing program for the money given in th9 United States, attend the races to be given Butchers' Day at Oak- land track. The date is Wednesday, May iTth. The Arizona legislature has appropriated $15,000 for buildings of the Territorial Fair Grounds, and $7500 per year to aid the annual fair. The new grounds and track will be completed in a few months. Chas. E.Clark ol Fresno advertises a roan pacing gelding for sale that can pace three heats in 2:20 or better, and he only asks $250 for bim. Here is a chance to get one that can win at the Butchers Day races. If you want Morgan blood attend McCarthy & Sens Spriog Horse Auction at Portland, OregOD, May 2d. There will be 75 head from Mr. Larabie's famous Brook Nook Farm, and many of them are rich in Morgan blood. Daniel O'Dell, the New York banker and trotting horse fancier, has concluded to let John Howell, the man who really made Tiverton 2:04.}. train his two Grand Circuit trotters, Bonnie Russell 2:10} and Lady Gall Hamilton 2:11 j The Horse Fair Association has been admitted to membership In thi Trotting Association and all races to be trotted and paced at the exhibition in Madison Square Garden will be conducted under the rules of that organization. Billy Andrews says: "I consider Grace Bond the best trotter in night for the 2:10 classes tbis year.

At the great fairs to be held this summer and fall at Allentown, Bethlehem and Nazareth, Pa., it has been decided to put trotting races to saddle on the program. It is stated that the secretarial inquiry has developed the fact that several trainers are willing to enter their horses in such events. • Dr. W., the black stallion by Robert Basler that took a record of 2:12J last year at the State Fair, is showing more speed than ever this year, having recently paced an eighth in 14 seconds. He is owned and was bred by Dr. N. W. Williams, of Lindsay, this State, who owned his dam and grandam and used them for ten years in his practice and found them both great roadsters, with no road too long for them. Dr. W.'s dam is by Sacramento, son of Monroe Chief, second dam by Alexander Patchen Jr., third dam by Geo. M. Patchen Jr., and fourth dam by the running horse Don Pedro, a grandson of Lexington. Dr. Williams owns a filly by Harry Gear, dam an own si6ter to Miss Logan 2:06} that is entered in the Breeders Futurity, and is a fine prospect. Al Thomas has in training at the Wheaton, 111 , track a green trotting mare that he thinks is one of ■'best ever." She is Palo Alto bred being by Altivo 2:181 dam Elaine 2:20, dam of Iran Alto 2:12} and other good good ones. The mare is a sister in blood to Iran Alto, as their sires are own brothers. Geo. Hollenbeck, of Rio Vista, has his fine Nusha- gak filly, Dorothy Bonner, at Woodland being pre- pared by C. A. Spencer for Breeders Futurity No. 3, which is for foals of 1903. Dorothy is a two-year- old of good size, excellent disposition and, considering the time she has been handled, is very promising. Albany, Oregon, horsemen have formed a driving' association with W. H. Hogan president, Kola Neis vice-president, A. J. Hodges secretary, Wiiliam Eagles treasurer, and B. D. Wells, O. P. Dannals and Frank L. Skepton trustees. Membership is limited to bona fide residents of Linn county. A regulation track will be built and matinees held. J. B. Stetson, the Denver trainer, don't approve of California as a training ground. He says that his experience is "that a continuous warm winter tends to make the horses slow and lethargic." Gee whiz! It makes one dizzy to think how fast Lou Dillon and Sweet Marie and a few more California trotters would have been had they wintered on Colorado snowballs and been rubbed down with icicles. Nutwood has sired the dams of six 2:10 performers. No other stallion has sired as many. Robert Mc- Gregor's daughters have produced five 2:10 perfor- mers. Mambrino Patchen and Stratbmore are in third place each with four produced by daughters, and George Wilkes and Daniel Lambert have three each. No other stallions are represented with more than two 2:10 performers produced by daughters. The denth is announced of the stallion Egyptian Prince, owned by Mr. L. B. Thomas, cashier of the Redwood City Commercial Bank. Egyptian Prince was an elegantly bred stallion being by El Mahdi, out of a mare by Mambrino King. El Mahdi's dam was Lady Bunker, the dam of Guy Wilkes. Mr. Thomas used Egyptian Prince as a road horse and valued him very highly, having recently refused $1500 for him. May day has been chosen as the date for the next matinee to be held by the Los Angeles Driving Club. The board of directors has decided to hold the usual monthly meets during the summer. This is a con- cession to local owners of green trotters of the slower class. For the first meet there will be six races, the three minute mixed, 2:40 trot, 2:40 pace, 2:30 trot and 2:30 pace. Other events, including a women's race, will be held. The program for the races to be given at the Oak- land track on Wednesday, May 17th, at the annual celebration of the Butchers' Board of 1 rade, appears in our advertising columns this week. There are several harness races in which outsiders can compete. A 2:20 pace one mile dash, free-for-all trot one mile dash, free-for-all trot or pace two mile dasb, and a mule race are open to all who desire to enter. A num- ber of running races are also on the card. The American Sportsman says: "Mazette 2:04} is the first of Mr. Billings' mares bred last year to John A. McKerron 2:041 to foal. Last week she foaled a fine colt down at Pat Shank's place, at Litchfield. This is Mazette's first foal and is a credit to herself and its sire. Mazette is by Tennessee Wilkes, dam Marcola (dam of Mata 2:21) by McEwen2:18}, graodam by Enfield. This youngster has quite a speed in- heritance and should do something worth while when matured." A match has been made for a race to come off over the Petaluma track at an early date between D. Mc- Govern's trotter Dan Fraser by Secretary and an un- known pacer owned by Mr. Kendall of that city. The unknown is a chestnut with white stripe in face, three feet, a scar near the root of tail, another scar on the flank, and front legs a little dickey. The owner refuses to tell the name or pedigree of this horse, but Mc- Govern doesn't care if the paeer has a record of two minutes as he thinks Dan Fraser can beat him. Mr. T. A. Roche, Superintendent of the Lakeville Farm, in Sonoma county, where Seymour Wilkes 3 making the season, reports that quite a num- 'ine foals by this horse have already made 1'pearance on the farm, and that as sucklings they cannot be beaten for size, conformation and good looks, by any stock farm on the Coast. The two-year- old stallion MoPavil 38713 Is at the Lakeville Farm. He I'.iedallon 2:10, dam Ariel by Bourbon Russell '.n',10, and there is not a finer colt of his age anywhere. Ho is a bay, no white, stands 15 3 and from looks, conformation and action should make an ideal stock horse as well as a fast race horse. He gives every promise of being a fast trotter. Mr. Black, of the McDonough farm at Menlo Park, has sold his mare Gloriosa by Wildnut, dam Morning Glory by Electioneer, to Mr. Owen Starkey, a promi- nent contractor of San Jose. Gloriosa is due to foal to Lecco 2:09J and has already been booked to Coro nado 2:12J. Mr. Starkey has bred his mare Blarnette by Bernal, dam Blarney by Blarney Stone, thorough- bred, to Almaden 2:22^. C. H. Durfee seems to be doing a good business with all his stallions. Mr. J. P. McEnerney, of San Francisco, has sent his mare, Lady Kerr by Memo, to be bred to Almaden. Mr. M. L. Lusk, of Sacramento, has sent Laurel Wreath by Gov. H. Lowe 11,007, dam Woodbine by Woodburn, to be bred to Coronado; and Mr. T. J. Crowley, of San Francisco, has sent his fast mare, Lottie Parks 2:16| by Cupid 2:18, to be bred to Coronado. She has a fine filly at foot by Monterey 2:09|. All these mares were booked this week. Mr. E. P. Hamilton, of Arroyo Grande, sends us snap shot pictures of three colts he Is working that he says are as fine youngsters as there are in California. He does not intend to campaign them this year, but may racs them at the local meeting there in the fall. The two-year-old is a stud colt by Purissima 15944, son of Sidney, and is out of Flora by Acrobat 2:18}, second dam Negress by Whipple's Hambletonian 725, third dam by Owen Dale. This colt has been worked about six weeks and has stepped a quarter in 35 seconds. The yearling filly Arona is by San Luisito 2:141 and out of the same mare as the colt. Both are owned by Mr. Hamilton. The other filly Moorita is by Purissima, dam Moro by Pasha or Sultan, next dam Adele by Messenger Duroc 1:06. She was foaled in 1902 and is a finethree-year.old. This filly is owned by W. H. Ryan of Arroyo Grande, has trotted a quarter in 37 seconds and a full mile in 2:38. Pat Farrell offers for sale at a bargain a lot 75 x 100 feet, fronting on 20th avenue, near the corner of Point Lobos avenue, in this city. Mr. Farrell is probably the oldest trotting horse trainer now on tne Coast, but declining years and ill health will not permit him to follow the business any longer, and he desires to sell this lot on which are situated ten fine box stalls, two good open stalls and everything necessary to accommodate a string of a dozen horses. The lot adjoins Mr. Farrell's home which is on the corner of the two avenues ment'oned and is a very desirable place. The stalls are supplied with water from his famous well, said to contain the best water ever found on this peninsula. The price asked for the lot and stalls is very reasonable considering the prices asked for lots in that locality for building purposes. The streets are all curbed and graded around Mr. Farrell's place, and it has many advantages otherwise. A trainer with a little money could soon establish him- self at this place in a permanent and paying business. A sale of horses from the Bitter Root Farm was held at Butte, April 10th. The Montana Stockman says: Moy, a three-year-old colt by Prodigal, was purchased by W. C. Morris of Pony for $185. Dr. Galbreath bought Pooka, a three-year-old by Bow Bells for $225. A. R. Reed bought Moi'ton, a three- year-old pacer by Ponce de Leon for $130. J. V. Collins got away with Owl Creek, a two-year-old pacer by King Amos, for $175.- Paul Albertson bought Cormac, a two-year-old trotter by King Amos, for $325. Jim Higgins bought Kissingen a two-year-old trotter by King Amos, for $200. A.M. Carr'bought Monida. a two-year-old bay filly by King Amos, for $185. J, C. Slemons bought Eileen C, a two-year-old bay filly by King Amos, for $150. Andy Dahl bought Mildred G., a two-vear old bay filly by King Amos, for $305. J. P. O'Neill bought Half-and-half, ten years old, by Prodigal, for $395, and Dan McCarthy bought Black Fly, a four year-old trotter by Evergets, for $240. Several two-year-old thoroughbreds were sold and brought from $50 to $75. Plans were recently announced for the Empire City track which indicates an active season at the oval in Yonkers. Aside from the regular matinees of the New Y'ork Driving Club in the Grand Circuit meeting in August tbere will be a half dozen automobile meet- ings. The New Y'ork Driving Club has now over 250 members including all the prominent trotting horse owners in the city. Stakes for the Grand Circuit meets will be announced in a few days-and they will be in value commensurate with the track's reputation in the big line. The opening matinee will be held on Saturday, June 17th. Alfred Reeves, who served two years as secretary, has been made secretary of the Morris Park track but he will not sever his connec- tion with the Empire track, continuing in an advisory capacity. The details will be in charge of Frank J. Mackain who will be general secretary. President Butler believes that tbis year will be one of the best at the course in Yronkers, especially in trotting. Among the recent applications for membership for the New Y'ork Driving Club is one from P. A. Rocke- feller, whose horses are at the track. The Empire track will have an amicable arrangement of dates for Its automobile meets with the Morris Park track, which is the new course devoted exclusively to motor car racing. April 22, 1905] ®he gjfceetov ctxxb l&p&yA&nxaxx Sam Gamble on Lou Milton's Breeding. San Francisco, April 16, 1905. Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — My atten- tion has just been called to an article in your issue of April Sth, wherein it states that "The only way in which the pedigree of Lou Milton's dam can be traced is by the process of elimination." It further states: "There were many mares owned by the late W. C. Ralston, and from all reports quite a number of them were chestnuts." Allow me to answer as to what I find through my investigation of Mr. Ralston's stock, through two weli-known aod reliable men who had oharge of all Buch business for him and his stables — both business, work and driving horses o all colors and descriptions, mares and geldings. One of these men is well known here in this city and was in Mr. Ralston's employ for ten years. The other was in his employ eighteen years. They and others informed me that Mr. Rals- ton owned in all about forty head of horses. I have discovered in my search that the chtstnut mares were not as numerous as now imagined by many, and especially those with marks such as stars, strip in face and white ankles. Mr. Thompson stated to you and others that Mr. Mandenhall told him he got the mare from Kimball, who, in turn, got her from Mr. Ralston, the banker. This was all he knew of the mare except she was a chestnut with strip in face and one hind ankle white, but which ankle he did not know. I will say, it is unfortunate that Mr. Thomp- son does not remember that one important point, as I have a memorandum of such a described mare with pedigree given me by the late G. D. Kimball as once owned by the late William C. Ralston, and also have which ankle was white upon my book among eight head of mires, ponies and geldings of various colors and marks, as listed for sale. Among that list are the following: A gray gelding, saddle horse, goes all gaits. A brown gelding, 16 hands high, a carriage horse, two hind feet white. Two small ponies, sale lor children to drive, one a chestnut, the other a gray. A brown gelding. 15 3 hands high, black points: can trot in 2:50. Safe for a lady to drive A chestnut mare. 15.2 high, strip in face. A fine pole mare; good roadster; driven over a year by the late W. C. Ralston. B7 Uen. McClellan, dams t b by Williamson's Belmont. This mare died with the colic. A good work horse, by a Norman horse. A brown mare. 16 hands high, by James Monroe (a son of Nau- buc, brother to Thomas Jefferson 2:23!;); dam s t b by Rifleman. A chestnut mare by Whipple's HamDletonian; dam Ida Martin by Rifleman. Good driver, is 15 2^ high Sold to Covey for Palo Alto. Chestnut mare. lo.2, by George M. Patchen Jr. 2:27. dam by John Nelson. Strip in face; hind ankle white. Can trot in three min- utes. Pulls hard. A chestnut thoroughbred filly, two year-old, by Hubbard; dam Lady Fairfield. No marks, good size, and should make a race mare. All the above can be accounted for as to their disappearance, with the exceptions of the Patchen Jr. and Nelson mare and the chestnut filly by Hub- bard, dam Lady Fairfield, I do not and never did know what became of them, but as I know the admira- tion Mr. Kimball had for the stallion Milton Medium and the history, color, marks, given you and others' of the dam of Lou Milton, by Mr. Thompson, and that he got her from Mendenhall and he from Mr. Kimball and it is a well known fact that he got her from the late William C. Ralston. I think all such evidence points to that chestnut mare 15.2 high, strip in face, one hind ankle white, as Mr. Kimball so gave it to me, and I so entered it in my book, as by George M. Patchen Jr., dam by John Nelson. Mr. Thompson and the late George Bayles, a welj known trainer and driver, who once worked for Mendenhall and drove Milton Medium and the chest- nut mare in question, stated to Mart Rollins, now a trainer and driver at Santa Rosa, that this mare was a hard puller on the bit. If these facts and Mr. Thompson's story of the mare are correct, I will go down to my last resc with the belief that this chestnut mare by George M. Patchen Jr., dam by Jobn Nelson, is the grandam of the first two-minute trotter, as no other evidence so far received, can or has been traced to that clift. Again you state that Mr. Taylor, of San Jose, desig- nates one Ralston mare as "Fly," and your humble servant designates another. Allow me to porrect the latter statement as I have discarded that name of !:ri._,r. Mr. Gamble's account of a chestnut mare with strip and white ankle, by Geo. M. Patcboo, dam by John Nelson, having been owned by Mr. J. S. Kimball, backed with memorandums made by him In an old book, also beari every evidence of truth. But the fact remains that no association that registers stock would accept and record the breeding of an animal that could not be council r than Lou Milton's dam Is connected with either the Ralston mare as given by Mr. Taylor or tho Kimball mare as given by Mr. Gamble. There are links missing from both chain . that are absolutely necessary to the establish- ment of a pedigree. Until oneol those links is supplied Ion's grandiiin must bo put down In the books traced. h. t mare Lady Zombro, which P. W. Hodges has entered in the M. & M., is Btepping like one that is after the big end of that stake. She worked a half last week in 1:02*, the last quarter in 29| seconds, and she did it nicely. Lady Zombro is now seven years old and is "sound ana all right in every way" as the dealers say. She has a short toe— 3J- inches— and wearB 9 ounce Bhoes. She trots without any toe weights and looks like a sure 2:10 performer by the time the Detroit meeting takes place, in fact, she could trot a mile in that time now. California won the last M. & M. and has a look in for first, money this year Entries for the Merchants and Manufacturers and Chamber of Commerce stakes at Detroit have just been received and the M. & M. makes an especially good showing with twenty-three nominations, while the C. of C. has a list of twelve good ones. The horses nominated are as follows: MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS. Jas. De La Montanya's b m Brilliant Girl by James Madison. Cruiekston Stock Farm's b m Emma Hoyt by Czar. E. E.

Hamilton, Arroyo Grande — To lay out a haif-mile track, first lay out two parallel lines 600 feet long and 452 feet and 5 inches apart. Midway between the extreme ends ot these parallel lines drive a stake, then loop a wire around stake long enough to reach to either side. This wire will he 226 feet, 2J inches long. Then make a true curve with the wire, putting down a stake as often as a fence post is needed. When this operation is finished at both ends of the 600-foot lines, the inside of 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 thrown up one inch to the foot. The width of the track may be fixed according to the desire of the builder. Sixty feet is none too wide for the stretches. Geo. Hollenbeck, Rio "Vista— Robert Bonner Jr. No. 14,806, record 2:29}, was a bay horse foaled 1881, and made h.s record in 1890 in Texas. He was by Vandegrift 3012, dam untraced. This is probably not the horse you desire the breeding of. A horse called Robert Bonner, by Gen. Knox, dam the Drew Mare by Gen. McClellan, was owned in California and you probably refer to some son of this horse. Gen. Mc- Clellan 144 was by North Star, dam untraced. He sired Dan Voorhees 2:23} and others. T. A.

Of tho twenty.three nominations in the M. & M. six are California bred ; five of which are in training in this State at the present time. For this State to furnish one-fourth of all entries to 6uch a stake as the M. & M. is quite a compliment to It as a breeding and training centre. Of the twelve horses nominated in the Chamber of Commerce paco there is one from California, Mr. Kirkpatrick's Albuta, and another that was bred here, Mr. J. C. Adam's three-year-old pacer, By- Btander by Zolock that won a matinee race at 1880, by Electioneer, dam Gypsy of Paul's Abdallah, trotted to a record of 2:29} at Bloomington, Illinois, October 6. 1894. He is registered and his number is 26258. The dam of McFaul 38713 is Ariel by Bourbon Russell 9610, second dam Alma by Almont Rattler 500, third dam Belle by Bell Morgan 61. fourth dam by Steele's Snowstorm. John W. Giblin, Marysville— Lena A. 2:2H, win- ner of the Occident Stake of 1899, was foaled in 3896, bred by the late D. E.

The second dam of Lena A. is Princess by Woodford Mambrino 345. Geo. W. Bowen, Portland— Olean a black mare is not registered. If she is a California bred mare and you can tell us her sire and who bred her we may be able to trace her pedigree for you. J. S. F. — You are wrong in your supposition that the sire of Rowdy Boy 2:13J and Flaxtail is a horse called Bull Pup. Rowdy Boy 2:13| was by Ben Snatcher Jr. and Flaxtail S132 is given as untraced in the Register although he was claimed to be by Pru- den's Blue Bull. Mannie Reams, who owned and developed Mamie R. 2:152, tDe good three-year-old filly of last year which he recently sold to- James Butler of New York, was in town this week and took home with him a McMurray 6ulky which he purchased from the Ken- ney Manufacturing Company at 531 Valencia street. Thos. Murphy, the well-known horse shoeing expert, who owns a D'ablo colt that is hot stuff, also pur- chased a McMurray sulky this week, and the result waB a quarter in 36 seconds first time out for the youngster. Jackson's Napa Soda does not tangle the feet APRIL 22, 1905] ©he giveebev tmt> £j*;p*u;ismcm A Fine Individual with Speed and Breeding. A young stallion that is attracting much attention from the horsemen of that section of the country of which Tulare county is the centre, is Robert Direct owned by that well known breeder, R. O. Newman, of Visalia. Robert Direct is a black stallion and is now a four-year-old, having been foaled in 1901. He stands 16 hands and is one cf the best individuals liv- ing, and very speedy. He was trained some last year and showed a 2:08 gait, having repeatedly stepped an eighth in 16 seconds. With such individuality and speed as he possesses, combined with his splendid blood lines, his success as a sire of good looking and fast race horses that are game and good gaited is assured. He was sired by that great race horse and sire, Direct 2:05£, whose name has only to be mentioned to recall to any horsemen some of the greatest vic- tories of the Giand Circuit and a long list of champion race winners sired by him. Direct's roll of horor contains the names of such fast ones as Directly 2:03}, that still holds the world's two-year-old pacing record of 2:07J; Direct Hal 2:04}, the unbeaten Grand Circuit performer; Bonnie Direct 2:05}, that made his record as a four-year-old and is now siring speed at both gaits; King Direct 2:05£, another Grand Circuit win- ner; Directum Kelly 2:08}, one of the biggest winners and fastest trotters ever campaigned; Trilby Direct 2:08}, a pacing whirlwind; and many more that could he named, as Direct has 21 in the 2:15 list and 54 with standard records. The dam of Robert Direct is Daisy Basler, a young mare that is an own sister to Ethel Basler, the dam of Stonelita, two-year-old record 2:20, and My Way, tbree-year-old record 2:22, and a close second in 2:13i. Daisy Basler is a daughter of Robert Basler 2:20, that sired Jonesa Basler 2:11}, Dr. W. 2:12J, DeBernardi Basler 2:16}, etc. Rohert Bisler was by the Elec- tioneer stallion Antevolo and out of a mare that is in the Great Broodmare Table. The second dam of Robert Direct is Richmoor by Pasha, sire dam of Toggles 2:08J, and third dam is Miss Rowland by A. W. Richmond, sire of the dams of New Richmond 2:07}, Waldo J. 2:08, El Diablo 2:11}, Richmond Chief 2:11}, etc. It will be readily seen that Robert Direct's blood lines are rich in speed, gameness and all the race winning qualities. Great sires and great broodmares are prominent in the tabulation of his pedigree, and there is producing blood in every cross. Direct is dead and his sons in this State are not numerous, and will be less so when the Eastern buyers spend another winter in California. A sixteen hand son of the "little black rascal" that is as fine an individual and as royally bred as Mr. Newman's horse should be well patronized in any breeding community and at $50 the season the terms are certainly very reasonable for such a stallion. Robert Direct will make the season of 1905 at Mr. Newman's ranch ten miles east of Visalia, and pasturage is so good and so plentiful that mares from a distance will be pastured free of charge if booked to this horse. Mr. Newman's address is Visalia, Cal., and he will send a card containing tabulated pedigree and other particulars to those ap- plying to him by letter. A half tone engraving from a recent photograph of Robert Direct, appears on our front page this week. Sale of Yearlings by Demonio 2:11 1-4. At Dixon on May 1 will be held the third annual sale of high class yearling colts and fillies from the Suisun Stock Farm of Messrs. Rush & Haile and parties in the market for something real good in the way of youngsters should not overlook this lot. There are fourteen of these colts and all of them are by Demonio 2:11}, which is in itself enough to make them worthy of attention, and then too the dams of them include such mares as Corrollow (dam of Ben F. 2:09}) by Steinway; Hannah (dam of Olga 2:29} and Elba, trial 2:20) by Le Grande; Mamie Comet 2:23} (dam of Comet Wilkes 2:21 and Macleay (2)2:22}) by Nutwood; Sis by Nutwood Wilkes; Oakwood (dam of Telephone 2:24) by Rob Lee; Venice by Gossiper; Sable Dew by Sable Wilkes; Nellie T by Dawn and Minerva by Guy Wilkes. There are ten fillies and four colts in this bunch all nicely colored, and well made individuals and several of them are entered in the Breeders Futurity for foals of 1904. Demonio, the sire of these youngsters, is one of the best bred stallions living, being an own brother to Diablo 2:09} by Chas. Derby 2:20, sire of such noted performers as Don Derby 2:04J, Much Better 2:07}, Princess Derby 2:08A, etc.. and his dam is the famous mare Bertha, (also dam of Don Derby 2:04}, Owyho 2:09}, Elf 2:12J, Ed Lafferty 2:16J, Arner 2:17J and Jay Eff Bee (1) 2:26£) by Alcantara 2:23; grandam Barcena (dam of Bayard Wilkes 2:11}) by Bayard 53, third dam Blandina (dam of six producing sons) by Mambrino Chief 11. Demonio gave a "good account of himself and with a better chance would probably have earned a record better than 2:08. In the race at Sacramento in which he earned his record he was at the half with Edwin S. 2:08 in 1:03 but the latter went to a break and he jogged home in 2:11}. He is but ten years old and has sired very few colts old enough to train, yet one of them, Mona Wilkes, took a two-year old mark of 2:17 last season, and there are a half dozen others that have shown their ability to beat 2:20. The Suisun Stock Farm has produced such notable performers as Ben F. 2:09}, Mamie R. (3) 2:15J, etc., and it is reasonable to expect that some high-class ones will be developed from these young- sters to be sold. Particulars may be had from Rush & Haile, Suisun, Cal. The Horse in Ireland. California Horses Preferred. Peter Jensen, an extensive stock grower of Austin, Nevada, recently visited Sacramento in quest of new purchases for his extensive ranges in the sage brush country. He purchased a carload of horses from the Rancho del Paso, paying several thousand dollars for the lot. Mr. Jensen favors California-bred horses for their endurance and speed, both qualities being es- sential in his business. From one of his ranch places to Tonopah is a desert drive of one hundred miles, with a single watering place intervening, and Mr. Jensen has been making this trip for several years past, carrying a little water during the longer stretch, which is about sixty miles. Not long ago he substituted a colt for one of the regular team, and started for Tonopah. Descending at the watering place, which is merely a spring in the desert, Mr. Jensen proceeded to refill his water buckets. While so engaged the colt became restless, and finally caught the bridle on the end of the neck yoke. The stockman's nerve almost deserted him as the colt, thoroughly frightened, started off at a mad gallop, draging the light wagon and the other horse along at a breakneck pace. It was forty mile6 to the ranch house behind and sixty miles to Tonopah, either route stretching across a trackless desert, little traveled, and where he was accustomed to steer by the sun. The colt continued to gallop until the other horse, an old mare long driven by Mr. Jensen, recovered from the surprise of the first rush. Then, says the stock-owner, she deliberately laid down in the harness and the colt not being able to budge her was obliged to stop. When Jensen reached home, in appreciation of the old mare's beneficent action, he gave orders that she should be turned out in the best pasture and never again be harnessed. Want to Meet Sweet Marie. It is a difference of opinion that makes racing. An Eastern exchange says: A few owners of really good trotters are not scared because of the low records and graad showing made by Tiverton and Sweet Marie last season. When trotters secure such fast records as these two it becomes a serious matter to provide races for them. In this respect the present method of handicapping the trotter is unsatisfactory, to say the least. It is a hardship for owners to find that because of the record it is imposible for them to race a good sound horse down the line. It should be an easy thing to provide races for such sensational per- formers, for the public is always anxious to witness exhibitions of extreme speed in races. As a matter of fact no system has yet been adopted in this country which solves the problem, and there is in consequence an always present temptation to avoid a fast record. But while this will have to be worked out in the future by race track managers, this season is at hand and managers will have to do the best they can with present methods. In order to make the free-for-alls interesting with Tiverton and Sweet Marie as sure starters, Mr. Adkins offered to start Lisonjero, in the firm belief that his horse would be able to make a creditable showing in such fast company. Ther, if report is correct, Ed Geers thinks that his trotter George G. 2:06} should improve enough over his form of last year to warrant his being started against any trotter that is likely to start in the free-for-all classes this season. Just now Sweet Marie is considered to be the greatest race trotter on the turf, but at the close of the approaching race season some compara- tively unknown trotter may have superseded her in the estimation of the public. The death of Direct overshadowed the demise of another stallion, Joymaker, which occurred the other day on an Illinois breeding farm. Joymaker had a trotting record of 2:12^, could trot in 2:10 when he took a notion. He was a bad-tempered horse, and was the cause of Ed Geers sustaining a broken leg. If his temper had been better he might have made one of the greatest trotters known to the turf. An interesting and admirably illustrated article on "The Horse in Ireland " appears in the journal of the Irish Department of Agriculture. In answering the question as to what effect the soil and climate of Ire- land have upon the size, bone, hair, and the temper of horses, the writer says: "A typical horse descended from animals bred in Ireland during a long period is of good size, his bone is well developed — indeed some- what disproportionately well developed as compared with the rest of his body; his legs are clean, flat and hard, without the spongy softness of bone or ligament so characteristic of the British horse. The hair is fine and sparse all over the trunk, and though some- what coarser on the legs, this coarse hair is practi- cally confined to the back of the fetlock. The most pronounced characteristic of the Irish horse, as distinguished from horses of other countries, is his high courage. These characteristics may be stated to be fairly typical; but they vary, of course, in different parts of the country. The Connemara pony — a direct and, until recent years, an unpolluted descendant of the horse which inhabited this island from time immemorial — though dwarfed by the climatic conditions of an exposed seaboard as well as by meagre fare, still retains the high courage and stamina of his ancestors, and though somewhat modi- fied in shape, possesses the strength and bone so characteristic of the Irish horse. Contrasting the horses bred in the eastern counties with those bred in the West of Ireland, we find that on the rich plains of Meath horses will not grow so big, are more fleshy and though possessed of good bone scarcely equal the Roscommon horse in this respect. On the other hand, the Meath horse has more graceful lines — having more 'quality' — than his Roscommon brother, who is angular and coarse; still, both evince in equal measure the characteristic of high courage. " The true Irish cart horse, which was produced by careful selection from the horses found in the country at the close of the eighteenth century, has almost dis- appeared. To remedy this and to keep the Irish cart horse breed distinct, the writer advises that careful selection and intelligent breeding should be encour- aged by the establishment of a stud book. No substi- tute, it is declared, is so suitable as the Irish draft horse to cross with a thoroughbred for the production of hunters. The Denver Field and Fqrm says: A part of Judge Colburn's stable was sold Saturday, April 1st, and as the event had been poorly advertised, the attendance was light and prices unearthly low. J. O. A. Carper paid $475 for Bellorado, a brown horse foaled in 1898; Miss Royal, a two-year-old bay filly, brought the lowest price, $52 50; California McGregor brought $295; May B , $135; Lorna Doone, chestnut trotting mare, $95; Bonnie Lassie, pacing gray filly, four years old, $100; Queen Sibley, brown trotting filly, 1902, $177.50; Beljora, black filly, pacer, $350; Therbel, bay pacing filly, $100; Royal D., pacer, $150; Lady C, trotting filly, $200; E. A. C, gray trotting gelding, $275; Queen B , chestnut pacing mare, $167; Daisy Toler, chestnut pacer, $200. A hoseman recently gave utterance to this: "It probably appears more attractive to read of $500 stakes than $500 purses, but, strictly speaking, there are very few stakes offered nowadays. According to rules 'a stake is a race open to all complying with its published conditions, for which the prize is the total amount of money contributed by the nominators, all of which belongs to the winners, unless otherwise pro- vided in published conditions.' Nearly all the events mentioned as stakes are neither more nor less than purses. Most early-closing events, payments to which are made in installments, are now called stakes. The only difference is that the entrance fee is paid on the installment plan." It is a mistake that trolting-bred horses are only suitable for racing purposes and that every foal dropped upon the farm must show extremespeed with a few months' development or is worthless and useless material. The more quickly this idea is gotten rid of the better it will be for the owner. The well-bred, well-grown, and properly broken light-harness horse is always a moneymaker in the hands of a rustling owner. The only carriage horse of general utility comes from the union of trotting-bred Btallions and trotting-bred mares. Mr. C. A. Harrison, of Victoria, B. C, writes that Sophie McKinney, the black mare he purchased from Thos. Bonner through an advertisement In the Breeder and Sportsman, and which he afterwards sold to Mr. J. W. Kelly, has foaled a beautiful bay colt with one foot white, of good size, stroDgly made and a pacer. The colt is a son of one of California's greatest stallions, Nutwood Wilkes. mie gveeif&c axxit &p&xteuttni [Apeil 22, 1905 The Zolocks in San Bernardino. San Bernardino, Cal , April 13, 1905. Editor Breeder AND Sportsman:— San Ber- nardino county horse interests are assuming an importance as a factor in the productions of Southern California second only to that of the orange industry and like the orange culture its success is the result of nainstaking in the selection of the parent stock. This county, I might also say this city, has bred twenty- two horses that have race records from 2:09} to 2:20. This is a grand 9howing when it is observed that with the exception of Mr. Davies, the breeder, and owner of Zolock 2:091, wn0 nas bred four of the list, the balance have been bred by as many different owners as there are horses: but this record will bethoroughly eclipsed in the next three years as there areat present in the city and elsewhere no less than fifteen celts and fillies by Zolock 2:09} that will pace or trot miles in 2:20 or better in the next ninety days judged by their present ability and rapid improvement in their work. Bystander 2:13i;, by Zolock, on St. Patrick's Day, stepped the two fastest miles ever paced over an Arizona track defeating horses sired by the great Sidney Dillon and Zombro. Lillian Zolock, three years old by Zolock, owned by A. H. Davidson of Phoenix, trotted two heats on Si. Patrick's Day; time respectively 2:35 and 2:24. These colts were bred by John A. Cole of this city. Thomas Holmes just sold Mr. W. G. Durfee a colt three years old by Zolock 2:09}, dam by Happy Prince for $1000 and Mr. Durfee resold the colt for $2000. This colt showed the purchaser a mile in 2:15 the last one-eighth in 15 seconds. This is the third Zolock colt that has sold for $2000 in the last three months. Dr. I. W. Hazelett has a three-year-old pacing filly by Zolock that has repeated miles in 2:20. She is in the hands of Mr. Holloway, an old assistant of Chas. Marvin at Palo Alto. S. B. Wright, of Colton, California, is the breeder and owner of Redlock by Zolock 2:09}, dam Alta Reina record 2:27 as a two-year-old, that is a grand specimen of equine beauty, commanding enthusiasm whether shown at the halter or sulky. Although only thirty months old he can trot a mile in 2:25 and oac show quarters in 33 seconds. Mr. Wright values this colt at $5000 and does not want to sell at that. N. M. Strong, of this city, owner of the champion two-year old Ambush 2:20 by Zolock 2:09}, is very proud of his colt, as he is today a very handsome fast young trotter, now in the hands of Messrs. Prescott & Bonnell. Mr. Bonnell worked him an easy mile in 2:21, last quarter in 34 seconds. John A. Cole, themost extensive breeder of trotters and thoroughbreds in the Southern part of the State, owns a beautiful black filly by Zolock that W. S. Durfee, of Los Angeles, is working. She has already stepped miles in 2:21, last quarter in 32 seconds. J. B. Thompson, of Riverside, has as fine a speci- men of the gentleman's roadster and race horse as can be found in a brown four-year-old filly by Zolock, dam by Maximilian. She can show a mile in 2:20 any time. J B. Pope, a civil engineer of San Francisco, has a splendid promise of a race horse in the chestnut geld- ing, Wedlock by Zolock. Wedlock has only had thirty days in breaking and training but has paced a mile in 2:42. Wm. Rubidouz and Miss Abbott own a good three- year-old filly by Zolock, dam by Happy Prince that has shown a mile trotting in 2:35 with but little work. J. E. Fairchilds, of Redlands, owns Bonnie June, a very promising three-year-old filly that has worked miles in 2:36J. She, too, is by Zolock, dam by Wool- sey, full brother of Sunol. Geo. W. Prescott of Highland owns Adalantha by Zolock, dam Berlinda the dam of Roan Wilkes (three years old 2:12*), this colt has all the signs of a race horse and those who saw him take his work lately in 2:36 say "there is no question." ' Joseph Kelley Is the breeder and owner of Bow- lock by Zolock, dam by Happy Prince, that is coming very fast to bis speed; barring accident we all expect to see him trot in 2:30 or better in the very near future. E. F. Binder, of Riverside, the president of the Riverside Driving Club, Is the proud possessor of a jet black two-year-old by Zolock 2:09} that set all the horse admirers to "rubbernecking." Although only fairly broken her smooth, fric.lonless way of going commands attention. ■ ii. Roberts, President of tho San Bernardino National Bank, has a pair- of ZolooH Bllles that can pole together in 2:40, their dam is by Maximilian, he by Echo and he by Rysdyk Ionian 10. Benj. Davies, the breeder and owner of Zolock 2:004; Is having the champion two-year-old pacer 2:liiJ tr lined at Los Angoles. Reports from there in- dicate ber speed has oome with her age and 2:10 or s easily within her capacity this season. Mr, Davies has others in training by Zolock and there are many others that are worthy of education in the field of speed. Mr. Davies is one of the most popular stallion owners in the South as when any of his patrons lose a mare or colt he puts himself in their place and settles accordingly. "ALCANTELLUM." Treatment of Strains. A strain, even a comparatively slight one, is quitt capable of developing into a serious matter if not attended to in time, and consequently when one is sus- pected the horse should at once stopped in his work and have cold water applied liberally to the leg -where thestrain is. The limb may either be played upon by a hose or be immersed in a bucket of cold water for as long a time, in reason, as can be managed, and then it should be bandaged, not too tightly, the bandage being kept as wet as possible. It is, in fact, no use at all, but the reverse, to leave the bandages on long enough for them to become dry, as if they do they become hot and only aggravate the sprain; therefore it is best to take them off the last thing at night. Some persons prefer hot fomentations on the part affected, but for the purposes of most people the cold application will be sufficient, and it is certainly simpler. The diet should be cooling, bran mashes being substi- tuted for oats at the first outset, whilst later on half feeds of oatB may be given. If the inflammation shows no signs of abating it may become necessary to blister the limb after a fortnight or so of the cold water treat- ment, but if the horse begins to go souDd he may be spared the operation. Sometimes it will ease him when he first goes to work again if his shoes are raised at the heels so as to remove the pressure on the back tendon. Some persons advocate calkins on the heels in the case of horses which have suffered from the effects of sprain; but though these may be efficacious in some cases, they are not to be generally recommended for animals which have to do fast work on the hard roads, though it mus!. be admitted in their favor that calkins on the outside ot the heel will act as preven- tives against slipping. In the case of hunters, too, they are useful for the same purpose, but it 19 quite a different thing when the harness horse is considered, and consequently, though their are cases when calkins are not only desirable but necessary, their universal adoption is not recommended. — Horseman.

Stewart, of Spokane, will send his Zombro filly, out of Alteno, to Los Angeles to be trained. Mr. Stewart thinks she is the most promising trotter he has ever seen. Many of the horsemen at Spokane are urging the association there. to build a mile track. This, in their opinion, would make Spokane a great horse center and add materially to the race meetings there. About $11,000 has been subscribed for the fair ground and race track at Pendleton, and it is ex- pected another $1000 will be raised in Pendleton before soliciting from farmers and stockmen in adjoining counties. In view of the present excellent prospects for the grain crop this year it is thought that no difficulty will be had in raising the amount needed from stockmen and other interested parties over the county. The Montana Stockman says that during the past few months hundreds of Montana horses have been shipped to Canadian points, and the reports indicate that they have been bringing good prices. The demand for work stock was never better, due to the rapidly increasing settlement of the Canadian north- west. All American horses, unless registered, are charged a duty of 20 per cent, the valuation being fixed by the Canadian authorities. As the lowest valuation on mares is $50, the duty is $10 per head at least. Plans lor Great Improvements. [San Jose Mercury, April, 15] The San Jose Amusement and Driving Park Asso- ciation, articles of incorporation of which were filed some months ago with the County Clerk, has com- menced the work of reconstructing Agricultural Park into a first class amusement and driving preseive. About $50,000 will be expended upon remodeling and building. A large force of men is now at work grad- ing, tearing down and building. It is meant the park will be the headquarters for a Gentlemen's Driving Club. Quarters to accommodate 500 horses will be built. The amusement division of the park will greatly resemble the San Francisco Chutes and will contain many attractions throughout the year. The incorporation of the association immediately followed the signing of papers whereby Agricultural Park was leased to F. S. Granger for a term of ten years, with an option on the ensuing decade. The directors of the association are F. S. Granger, C. D. Wright, Robert M. Wright, J. R. Phelps and T. C. Barnett.- A number of wealthy San Franciscans are behind the project. F. S. Granger, one of the directors, said yesterday : "We intend to make this the finest harness horse track in the world. The track itself will not be touched, as it is the finest in the State. It is the in tention of the association to transform the park into a race course, with better facilities and an amusement division which will be upon a plan similar to that of the Chutes in San Francisco. "As to the course, new fences will be built both on the inside and outside, new quarterpoles of the latest type will be set up in place of the weather-scarred old ones. The grandstand will be strengthened and en- larged to double its present seating capacity, which is about 1500. The judges' stand will be rebuilt and painted. An inside winter track will be built with the earnest endeavor to have it a great deal better than the one at Pleasanton. "A street leading from the main entrance on the Alameda to the track will be built with a width 62 feet. It will be paved with gravel. "The present quarters of the stables, where Lou Dillon, and other racing horses are kept during the winter months, will be moved further over to the northward. Larger training stables with complete modern facilities will take the place of the old sheds and will accommodate over 500 horses. "Some twenty men are now at work making neces- sary changes, tearing down, hauling out rubbish and otherwise bettering the condition and appearance of the park. The office at the Alameda entrance will be moved north toward the pavilion to make room for the roadway. A handsome two-story structure of brick will take the place of the present shed. "The Rose Carnival pavilion will be presented with a new roof and several coats of paint, besides the extensive remodeling of the interior. When we are done with it, it will be an ornament to the city. "But to return to the track. We are especially desirous of forming a gentlemen's driving club, such as Los Angeles, Denver and Kansas City have: Steps towards organization will be begun shortly. The race track will be kept in such prime condition throughout the winter that it will be possible to drive around it less than an hour after a rain storm. The trotting association which met here last fall will a*so hold race3 during the month of August this year. In 1906 there will be a big meeting in the spring and one again in the fall of the year. In all some $50,000 will be expended upon the park before we are through with it. The amusement division of Agricultural Park will be kept entirely separate from the race track. A neat ten-foot board fence will extend from the main entrance to the track and from there over to the farthest edge of the grove and from that point will run over to Race street. We plan the park to be upon the same lines as the Chutes in San Francisco. A dancing pavilion will be built. A summer theater, upon which an excellent bill of vaudeville will be given during the seven warmer months of the year, will be among the main attractions. Many other minor features will be added. Last, but not least, it is our intention to have a zoo, which will be of no mean proportions, during the winter months. I re- ceived a letter from C. W. Norris, the showman, a few days ago in which he asked me if the^park was still open for winter quarters. I said that it was. Of the show people's intentions regarding Santa Cruz I do not know further but expect to hear from Mr. Norris again in a short while." , Scott Hudson says he will not race his horses in the Grand Circuit this year. The bunch Scott started down the line with last season did not perform like Grand Circuit material, and perhaps the resemblance between the 1904 and 1905 lots is so close that the hustling Kentuckian thinks he can do better out in the bushes. APRIL 22, 1905] <&he gv eeltev mti> grpax-tsmcm SIRES OF WINNING TWO-YEAR-OLDS OF 1904. The Male Line of Eclipse, Through Stockwell, in Advance of All Others. In the year 1904 there were 260 stallions whose get won at two-years old, upwards of $200 in stakes or purses. Of these there were 34 whose sons and daughters won in excess of $10,000, the great Ham- burg being in the lead of all the rest, so far as two- year-olds were concerned, with Meddler the actual premier of the season, second to him by the narrow margin of $3500 and over $12,000 ahead of the imported horse Goldfinch, who was third on this list. An asterisk after a horses name denotes he was imported : Hamburg $91,716 Meddler* 88,210 Goldfinch* 75.952 Hastings 44.080 Pirate of Penzance 38,510 Sir Dixon 34,361 Woolsthorpe* 30,80 1 Requital. 30.305 Ben Strome* 28,42a Plaudit 26,805 Esher* 29.857 St.Gatien» 25.810 Watercress* 25,270 Sain* 22,286 Ormus* 21,180 Ben Brush 21,465 Goldcrest* 18,090 Kingston 17.655 Sandringham* 16,175 Top Gallant* 16.075 Sorcerer* 16,054 Golden Garter* 15,815 Faraday 14,969 The Commoner 14,505 Jim Gore 14,825 Octagon 12,327 Athellng * 12,147 King's Counsel* 11,905 Lamplighter 11,651 Handset 11,601 Prince of Monaco 11,380 The Friar* 10,939 Ingoldsby* 10, 145 Russell 10,097 Total $874,453 Won by get of 15 native sires $367 808 Won by get of 19 imported si res 506,645 Total $874,453 Average imported sires $26,665 Average native sires $24,520 In addition to these were 41 whose get won over $5,000 and less that $10,000; and 185 whose progeny won over $2000 and less than $5000. Of the 34 whose progeny won over $10,000, we find the following Eclipse-line horses: STOCKWELL TOUCHSTONE BLACKLOCK Meddler Requital Sir Dixon Goldfinch Plaudit Woolsthorpe Pirate Penzance Faraday Sain Ben Strome Octagon Sandringham Esher Pr. Monaco K. Counsel St. Gatien The Friar Watercress Ormus Goldcrest Leamington oxford Sorcerer Russell Topgallant Golden Garter Athellng Iogoldsby The following are Eclipse horses but only ones of their respective families: Ben Brush from the line of Don John, and Clifford by the 31019 sire, is pretty well up in the second class of forty-one. Of the Herod line we find the following, all through Glencoe, son of Sultan: The Commoner Handsel Jim Gore Handsome Three of these are by HanoverCnow five years dead) and Jim Gore is by Hindoo, the sire of Hanover. The Malchem line (now extinct, save through homely old Melbourne, foaled 1834) is represented by Hastings, Kingston and Lamplighter, they having a total of $73,389 between them. Of the 41 stallions whose progeny several won over $5000 and less than $10,000 I find 33 from the male line of Eclipse, 5 from that of Herod and 3 from the nearly extinct line of Matchem who was foaled in 1748 and which would now beextinct had it not been for homely old Melbourne. And yet it is well known to all in- telligent breeders that the male line of Matchem carries more bone and substance than any other. When we consider that Sir Modred headed the list in 1894, with the largest number of races (208) ever credited to any premier sire in America, the falling off of the Herod line is something to be followed by an exclamation point. In 1893 there were thirteen stallions whose get won over $50,000 for races open to all ages; and of these thirteen there were four from the male line of Leam- ington— Iroquois, Longfellow, Onondaga and Eolus. In that year Iroquois had to his credit $138,000, of which $47,000, in round numbers, was won by two- year-olds. Last year no son of Iroquois made any great showing as a sire of early performers, G. W. Johnson being the best with $8875 to his credit and Gotham next with $8611. All the other sons of Iroquois were below the $5000 mark last year; and as for the sons of Longfellow, they seem to have faded out of sight completely. Onondaga is much better known through his daughters than through his sons; and the same is true of his full brothers, Sensation and Stratford. Russell by Eolus seems to have kept up the family traditions better than any other Leam- ngton horse in America. The following table shows what horses got winners of twenty races and upwards in 1904.

Hidalgo. TOZER'S GOSSIP. Below will be found a tabular statement of what the better-class horses have accomplished at the Emery- ville meeting since the season began last November. It is a peculiar fact that the old horse with the best winning percentage (Andrew Mack) was suspended at Ascot Park, Los Angeles, for inconsistent running. Trainer-owner William Cahill has certainly accom- plished wonders with the son of Charaxus. Sir Wil- fred is undoubtedly the best two-year-old that has raced here, Dr. Leggo the "classiest" three-year-old colt, and True Wing the best of the three-year-old fillies. W. R. Condon won the most money of the older horses, while Dr. Leggo is in front as a money- winner of any age with $11,035 to his credit in 1905 alone. As a two-year-old he won $2025. Two Pacific Coast records have been hung up by the son of Pur- year D. and Sevens — mile and fifty yards and miie and three-sixteenths — while he ran a mile in 1:39 fiat handily with 103 lbs. up and forced Elie to break the world's record at three miles. Last Wednesday the Doctor beat Honiton and other good ones at a mile and a furlong and easily. Andrew Mack ran a mile and a sixteenth over a sloppy track in 1 :46J on April 15th, winning eased up by six lengths. The merit of the performance can best be judged by the fact that the horse was timed the last mile in 1:39J, in deep slop. I doubt if this showing was ever even closely ap- proached. The very next race on the card, at the same distance, was run in 1:49* with 92 lbs. up. "Lucky" Baldwin's Cruzados won a phenomenal race in the mud last Tuesday, being all but left at the post and winning in 1:01J in the last stride with 122 lbs. up. At Los Angeles this horse ran six furlongs in 1:12}, the Coast record at the distance. Other extraordinary performances by horses in the list which follows were Ananias' mile and 100 yards in l:44j with 110 lbs. up and mile and a furlong in 1 :52 with 104 lbs. ; Honiton 'a Futurity course run in 1:09s with 120 lbs., five and one-half furlongB in 1:06| with 120 lbs., six and one- half furlongs in 1:19J with 1:09 lbs. up and seven fur- longs in 1:26.\ with 134 lbs. in the saddle; and last, but not least, Dainty's seven and one-half furlongs iu 1:32 with 109 lbs. up. Elie's three miles in 5:22 with 100 lbs. up is a world's record. I believe Wallace and Quiver, dead heaters, ran the distance in Australia in 5:23 fiat, and this was the previous best on record. Following is the table that should interest form- players: No starts 1st 2d 3d unp Achelita 9 3 4 11 Alice Carey 8 4 2 11 Andrew Mack 11 Arabo 5 Andrew B.

B. Spreckels bred Achelita, Alice Carey and Dr. Leggo at his Napa Stock Farm. Arabo, Bailey, Celeres, Cousin Carrie, Dainty, Fossil. Iredeus, Letola, Mendanao and Nigrette were bred by J. B. Haggin at Rancho del Paso. Bell Reed and F. W. Burrfirst saw the light at the Antrim Stock Farm of Charles Kerr, Bakersfield. Cerro Santa is a pro- duct of E. J. Baldwin's Santa Anita rancho. Hain- ault, Honiton, Roman Gold and Sir Wilfred were foaled at the Menlo Stock Farm of W. O'B. Mac- donough; Andrew B. Cook at Boots' Elmwood Farm, Milpitas; and Edgecliff at Burns & Waterhouse's Sacramento county farm. Ananias is an English colt; Andrew Mack, a Virginian; Claude, Horatius, St. George Jr., Toupee, Pelham, and W. R. Condon, Kentucky-bred; Northwest from Montana; True Wing from Illinois; Father Catcham and Sad Sam from Texas. The racing situation in the Middle West is still in a strained condition. The Corrigan orowd refuse to attend a peace conference unless the Western Jockey Club rescinds its outlaw rule, and if the W. J. C. did that it might just as well throw up the sponge and acknowledge defeat. They will be forced to shy the sponge anyhow very shortly, unless the signs of the times are all wrong, for the Washington Park folk are all talking of throwing Condon and the W. J. C. aside unless it does away with the outlaw rule. If the Washington Park Club kicked over the W. J. C. traces that would be the blow that would take the underpinning from the organization at one fell swoop, for its president, Lawrence Young, is also the head and front of the Western Jockey Club. At St. Louis the battle of last year is being waged over again, and the outlook is for the usual heavy Iossee on both sides, with nothing gained but a bunch of bitterness over the dog-in-the-manger business. It is fitting that St. Louis should be the last battle ground, be- cause the Western Jockey Club began the grave- digging act by refusing dates to Union track. Corri- gan couldn't see anything in running opposition to the Mound City Mafia, and the result was that he sent hut a few two-year olds to race at Union. Capt. Carmody resigned the managerial reins and P. A. Brady, well-known as presiding judge at St. Louis meetings, took up the forlorn hope. Mr. Brady knows all the angles of the racing game, but if they make any money at Union the new manager will be entitled to a large-sized oil chiomo entitled, "Per- forming a Miracle." Judging by the fact that Bar- ney Schreiber's horses are runnirg in purse races at the Fair Grounds, St. Louis, it seems he has cast his lot with the Western Jockey Club, which, if true, will be a great surprise to turfmen all over the country, for he was supposed to be Ed. Corrigan's friend from soda to hoci. Certain it is that Corrigan has always been the German's friend, and this sup- posed change of front is nothing short of shocking, and the causes leading up to it should surely prove interesting in the extreme. Father Catcham easily defeated F. W. Barr over a heavy track at half a mile last Wednesday, and though Barr was conceding Catcham nine pounds, he beat Stanfield & Ellis' good coit by three lengths, pulled up to a canter. Catcham had Travers up, while Barr was ridden by the youngster, T. Clark. Everything considered, therefore, theEe colts are very closely matched when they go four and one-half furlongs. Ralph H.

Fly-Casters at Banquet. Dr. Henry van Dyke of Princeton was guest of honor at a banquet of the San Francisco Fly-Casting Club last Wednesday evening. After the disposal of a good dinner President Ed Everett introduced Judge John Hunt as the toast- master for the evening. The Judge was in his hap- piest humor, during the course of his introductory remarks he referred to Dr. van Dyke as the author of two popular angling classics, "Fishermen's Luck" and ''Little Rivers." He extolled him as an enthu- siastic sportsman und skilled angler, a student of books, a student of nature and a writer of graceful verse. Dr. van Dyke, when he arose to respond received a most cordial greeting. The Doctor's remarks were interesting and entertaining and colored at times with a bit of sterling humor given with unction. Among other matters dwelt upon the Doctor proudly said that during a recent visit to the McCloud river he had occasion to wado a portion of that famous stream. The experience when linked with otherB be had since mot with had convinced him that thuro is nothing than California wati'i* and nothing warmer than a California welcome. Be romplimented the fly-casters on the fact that the world's record in that department of sport is held here and he characterized angling as a lofty and ennobling pursuit 1 1 could aoaroely bo described aa a pastime, as he estimated that every pound of irouRQl to basket by an angler coi do Are. He spoke of fly-flshlng as a lofty, ennobling occupation. He said some people looked upon it as a mild form of lunacy, but he had found it dainty, charming and pleasant to the finer sensibilities. He instanced that only classic in sporting litera- ture that had to do with fishing, namely: "The Com- plete Angler" and he described glowingly the beauties of the McCloud river and its surroudings— an ideal stream, the realization of an angler's dream. Dr. van Dyke told several stories and preached a dainty sermon. One of his stories was of the Scotch- man, who after an unsucessful day on the river tossed his flyhook into the staeam and said in disgust: "Tak' yer choice!" He also told of the great trout Nicodemus on the River Never Sink and of the man who tried to take him. In the morning he tried a red ibis. The trout got away with this. Later in the day he had him on a white miller and again his troutship disappeared. In the evening he tried him with a blue jay and after a struggle landed him. The three flies were fastened to the trout and when the angler saw the national colors he remembered it was the Fourth of July and he know why the combinations had proved so affec- tive. Governor Pardee sent his regrets for an unavoid- absence from the gathering. In voicing them Judge Hunt combined the introduction of Dr. Jordan of Stanford University, saying: "The 'Governor' is a good fly, but the 'professor is a better one." Dr. Jordan created a laugh by ad- dressing his auditors as "fellow geologists." He said: "The trout lie at the bottom of green streams. Let us lie about the trout. " He then spoke entertainingly of the anglers of Samoa, Japan and Honolulu He took a rise out of Judge Hunt by telling how the latter loaned his trout scales to a lady who found they recorded the weight of her baby as being sixty-eight pounds. He was followed by Charles S. Wheeler, who de- scribed a fishing trip to the McCloud in company with Dr. van Dyke, during which the gentleman from Princeton landed a seven pound Dolly Varden trout. As showing that this was no "fish story" the trout was paraded on a huge platter and there was a gen- eral craning to get a glimpse of the noble "speckled beauty." Mr. Wheeler explained that the trout was killed with a six and a quarter ounce Leonard rod and said he never saw a fish handled with more skill and grace. Alex T. Vogelsang, the next speaker, did full justice and in a particularly apt and felicitous manner to "The Scientific Angler," a subject which bespoke upon entertainingly and exhaustively, saying among other things that a true fisherman should rejoice more over a few fish well caught than over a full creel. He advocated the observance of chivalry to- wards the denizens of the stream. Instead of losing temper when a fish gets away the proper thing, accord- ing to the Vogelsang code, is to congratulate him on having made his escape. ' 'Remember you are merely working lor your own pleasure, while the fish is fight- ing for his life," was the way the speaker put it. The banquet was one of the most enjoyable of the many given by the club. Those present were: Dr. Clark Burnham, John Butler. Frank V. Bell, W. F. Bogart, A S. Carman. A. L. Coombs, W. A. Cooper, F.

C. show next month. The closing date for entries is April 29th, so it behooves intending exhibitors to enter their dogs early and often. A pedigree is not an essential feature. You can enter your dog if you cannot give the breeding. LOCAL DOGS GO NORTH. Judging from the demand we have had for Van- couver, Victoria. Seattle and Portland premium lists and entry blanks it looks as if there waB to be a strong representation of local fanciers on the benches of the above shows. The Seattle entries closed on the 19th, Portland will close on the 25th. We believe there will be a reciprocal entry of Northern dogs at the 'Frisco show next month and without doubt a number of these dngs will show at Los Angeles the week after the S. F. K. C. show. was an accidental oversight. The lists have since been corrected. The regular prizes will be club medals and blue, red and white ribbons, yellow ribbons for specials, and tri-color for winners. The club medal this year is a new design — a bulldog head with the club initials on the collar. If this token is a true talisman it presages a successful future career for the club. Specials are still coming in and the outlook for a very large entry list is most promising. It is safe to say that a big string of Northern dogs will also be sent down to the local show. ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL. The Spokane Kennel Club whose officers (and mem- bers) were disqualified by the Pacific Advisory Board for holding a W. K. L, show last year have been rein- stated. The Spokane club applied for, and was elected to A.K. C. membership on the 7th inst. at a special meeting of the Pacific Advisory Board. Mutual congratulation should be in order, for this action of both organizations will go a long ways towards harmonizing Coast doggy affairs. A HANDSOME POSTER. One of the most attractive announcements the San Francisoo Kennel Club ever issued for a bench show is the small poster hanger for the show next month. A brace of well known Bulldogs, true to the life and in a catchy pose,;is just illustration enough to make one pause and read the club "ad" and also the minor "ad" — that of Dent's Dog Remedies. If the medi- cines are anywhere near as good as the idea of the enterprising Chicago firm, they are surely worthy the attention of the fancy. IN THE ORANGE BELT. Matters are apparently progressing harmoniously down South, we cull the following from the Los Angeles Express. Eatriesfor the bench show of the Southwestern Kennel Club are coming in rapidly, and indications point to the biggest show ever held in Southern Cali- fornia. The show will open May 17 and continue until May 20, inclusive. The show of the club was held last year at Chutes Park, but this year the Increased benching will necessitate the use of the Chutes pavilion and a tent, 70 by 130 feet. This will give the patrons a much better opportunity to observe the many varieties of canines. The bench show committee includes such wellknown fanciers as W. J. Morris, James Ewinp, W. A. Alder- son, Richard Thomas and S. Tyler. With such com- petent enthusiasts to p rovide for the comfort of the entries, the exhibitors ne~d have no fear for their valuable pets. The show will be held under A. K. C. rules, the local club being now affiliated with the national organization. Old Hall Sylvia, imported by Arthur Letts from Scotland, will be on show. This rare bitch is in a class by herself entirely distinct from anything that ever has been shown in California, it is claimed. She has been exhibited throughout Scotland and England, and is the winner of a dcuble championship. She comes from the famous Old Hall stock and was bred by J M. Hamach. Letts purchased her from Mr. Agnew. An Edinburgh paper has the following to say of Sylvia: "First prize, Old Hall Sylvia, the best we have seen for some time. This bitch will improve. Her. head is classical, expression extra, ears carried good, her bone is good and, further, her front i6 of the best. She will hold her own among the best." Mr. Letts purchased her in whelp to Ch. Wishaw Leader, a dog belonging to R. Tait. The result of this mating has produced six fine, healthy puppies, about six months old, and the litter gives promise of outclassing anything in California. Ch. Ravenswood, another member of the Letts kennels and winner of numerous prizes on the coaBt will be on exhibition. Another of the Collie entries will be William Kennedy's Lady May III, a beautiful bitch that captured a first prize in las:, year's show. She had a litter by Ch. Ravenswood, all of which have turned out to be fine dogs. Edgemont Springs Pin- nacle, a one-year-old Collie sired by Wishaw Clinker, is also among Kennedy's collection. James Ewins will show his Bull bitch Wedding Bells, winner of first prize at the last show Capt. E. V. E, NeilPs Bulldog, The Battler will also be shown. 'FRISCO SHOW NOTES. As hinted at in last week's issue we find the non- iuin.iunooment of the regular prizes and also of the Bull Terrier specials in the premium list for the show TOM ASHTON'S IMPRESSIONS. We have received a letter from Mr. Tom Ashton conveying his impressions of America and its dogs. Coming from so experienced a dog man, this missive is of more than ordinary interest, since it was Mr. Ashton's first visit to the States. He says the weather was awful, but he likfs the American people very well, and has had a fine time amongst them. We knew they would fine1 Tom Sheffield made Both haft and blade. Tom thinks there is not much Terrier in the Boston Terriers of America, which, with a little more turn-up and lay back, would not make bad Bulldogs. In Pointers and Setters (Irish particularly) he thinks America would be bad to beat by England, and Bull Terriers are strong. He is nor. carried away with their Cockers, which lack a good Spaniel head, and aretoyish rather, suggesting a too close affinity with the Toy Spaniel. In Bulldogs there are a few of the right sort, but a lot otherwise. Fox Terriers are, he says, goo'l and going strong, and so are Irish and Airedale. Mr. Ashton judged at two shows just before leaving New York by the (,Lucania" on the 25th. He will be in England a fortnight and then returns this month, arriving at New York on the 22nd, on his way to Portland, Oregon, where he judges the whole show, from thence on to San Francisco, where he judges second week in May. — Oar Dogs. APRIL 22, 1905J ®he gveeliev aixis gtpuxrtemcm COLLIE JOTTINGS. Glen Tana Collies in changing their "ad" this week announce some bargains. Ch. Glen Tana Bo Peep whelped a litter of ten sable and white puppies to Ch. Glen Taca Marquis. This litter should turn out some first class ones. Glen Tana Queen, purchased by Dr. J . S. Klober won first novice, limit, open and winners and a hand- some cup special at Seattle last week. The chance to secure a thoroughbred Bloodhound bitch is offered in an "ad" on page 14. Peggy is a bench winner and a good brood bitch and is bred on unexceptional lines She ^as recently used to trail a murderer in this city — Torturici who it is believed carved up a fellow Sicilian a few weeks ago. Despite the fact that the bitch was put on a cold trail — over cement sidewalks and bitumen streets and hampered by a crowd of some three thousand morbid specta- tors— she trailed back twice to one particular spot on the edge of the gutter in the street just opposite to the house in which the awful murder took place twelve hours previously. The bitch has shown her trailing abilities upon other occasions and haB also whelped some good puppies. By anyone desiring a fine Bloodhound brood bitch this opportunity should not be passed. Rowdy Girl, the Irish Water Spaniel bitch, sup- posed to have been stolen from her owner's residence last week was recovered on Morday. Mr. Bay laid the matter before the police authorities who took prompt and efficient measures to locate the missing bitch. A policeman brought her back on Monday evening. She had been found out on the ocean boulevard, near Carville. All's well that ends well. Queen Bess, a good St. Bernard bitch owned by J. Mathews of Oakland has, we regret to note, joined the canine majority. PASSED AWAY IJJ SAN JOSE. Chris Hommricb, a popular sportsman of San Jose, passed away last week. The deceased was born in San Francisco, September 27, 1854. In 1877 he mar- ried Miss Clara Brown, and after severing connections with Plate's sporting house in this city, we"nt to San Jose, where, for the last twenty-three years, he has occupied the little store on Post street that sportsmen of that city were accustomed to make their head- quarters. A wide circle of business acquaintances will mourn the loss of a true friend and wise councilor, whose word was his bond. AT THE TRAPS. Tomorrow the card at Ingleside should draw a rep- resentative gathering of trap shooters — young and old. The shoot will be on the "old time" style in the main and some interesting features will be put on by Edgar L. Porster. The revival of the Lincoln Gun Club for the day will no doubt go down in local trap shooting history as a happy reminiscence of the "good old times." The Empire Gun Club shoot for April was held April 9th. At this shoot the second of the team shoots with the Union Gun Club was held as announced last week. The Unions won with a score of 201, outof 300, against 177.

After these events pool aDd practice shoots were indulged in until a late hour. After the shoot on the Nickell grounds, opposite Sacramento, last Sunday the following sportsmen signed a call to organize a blue rock club, the name of which and the officers thereof will be determined at a future meeting: Lee Hayes, Ed Van Alstine, A. L. Stephen , Fred O'Brien, H J. Vetter, L. W. Nickell. H. Stevens, W. H. Hendrix, C. M. Morgan, Robert AnderBon, C. E. Favero, A. M. Just, A. Cunningham, A. G. Folger, A. J. Conrad, W. W. Mott, Jr., F. Schoenbachler, Ed Fissell, John Morrison. At the Kimball & Upson Company tournament, which will be held in Sacramento next month, the first day, May 11th, will be devoted entirely to live bird shooting, and the 12th and 13th will be given over to the blue rock shooting. An innovation will be made from the custom at former shoots, in that entrieB are open to all. To afford the less skillful shots an opportunity to win some of the money and prizes, the contestants will be divided into three classes — "expert," "first" and "second," each class shooting for separate money and prizes. Classification of shooters this season seems to be popular and working satisfactorily, among others this system will be taken up tomorrow by the Rocklin Gun Club. The lBth Inst, was evidently a propitious day for shotgun devotees at Sacramento for a goodly number assembled at the Nickell grounds, near the American River Bridge, to indulge in blue rock shooting. The score summaries are as follows: Ten targets— Robertson. 5, 10, 8, 7, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9; Van Alstine, 8, 8, 4; Damm, 3; Vetter, 6, 7, 8, 6; Hendrix, 5, 0; Jackson, 1, 0; Cunningham, 6, O'Brien, 6, 5, 5; Hayes 3, 3, 5, 4; Parent, 5; Bohn, 8, 6; Stevens, 6, 6, 7; Morgan, 9; Folger, 3, 4; Anderson, 3; Just, 9, 5, i; Favero, 6; Martin, 6, 7, 7; Gruhler, 6; Stephens, 2, 8, 7, 9, 9, 9.

The Capitol City Blue Rock Club members were out in force on the Kimball-Upson grounds at Sacramento last Sunday. O L. Stevens, 18 yards, again won the club medal, 23 out of 25. Stevens will now shoot from the 20-yard mark. If he wins the medal again it be- comes his property. Some very good scores were made and about thirty members were in attendance.

Taylor, the powaer expert for the Laflin & Rand Powder Company, was present at the Union Gun Club shoot at Ingleside on the 16th inst. Col. Taylor is one of the best known authorities on ex- plosives in this country. The Pastime Gun Club of San Diego announces a three-day shoot, the occasion being the club'B sixth annual blue rock tournament. There will be $500 in added money (three moneys, Chick system), $250 in trophies and $200 in meichandise for the shooters to help themselves to. C. H Julian, Martines Chick and F. B. Naylor are the Tournament Committee. Write for a program. Mr. Sam Tucker made his welcome appearance on Sportsmen's Row one day this week The well known and genial representative of Parker Bros, was a popular and widely known trap shot over a quarter of a century ago and can still hold bis own with many of the top notchers. What Mr. Tucker does not know about shotguns and trap shooting is not worth wasting time on. The Woodland Gun Club had a shoot at the old creamery grounds on Sunday. A number of the Davisville crack shots were present and participated in the sport. The following is a summary of scores made: Sanchez shot at 30, broke 16; W. H. Huston, 30-10; R. G.

We made a brief reference last week to the possi- bility of a mistake being generally made in giving the blue jay a bad reputation for marauding propensities thai invited its destruction at all times. The bird is looked upon by almost all sportsmen as a great game bird egg destroyer. The following report by Mr. F. E L Beal, Assistant Biologist, U. S. Department of Agriculture is worthy the perusal of all fair-minded sportsmen: Of the various birds that enliven the groves and orchards, few are more conspicuous than the common blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata). Its loud and rather harsh voice, striking colore, and obtrusive actions attract attention when other birds equally abundant remain unnoticed. Au accurate knowledge of its food habits is a matter of some importance from an economic point of view, since the bird is abundant and feeds largely upon grain and other hard seeds, although the proportion supplied by the farmer s crops has never been accurately determined. It has also been shown that the jay occasionally preys upon tne e°-gs or young of other birds, and some observers have°declaredit an habitual nest robber and thief, but theestentof its nest-robbing proclivities is un- known, and a detailed examination of its food is necessary in order to throw more light on these points. The blue jay is distributed over the whole of the United States east of the Great Plains from the Gulf of Mexico to Manitoba and Newfoundland and on the Pacific Coast as well. It remains constant in form and color throughout most of tnis region, except in Florida and along the Gulf coast, where a smaller race(c'v. rfncoto) occurs. Wbilejays commonly resort to the forest to breed, they do not by any means confine themselves to the woods, but visit orchards, meadows, gardens, and farms in search of food. They remain throughout the year in most parts of their range, and their beautiful blue plumage is particularly conspicuous in the fall and winter months, when the trees are partly or wholly denuded of foliage. Their saucy, independent airs, sprightly manners brilliant colors and jaunty, plumed caps have gained them many friends, in spite of the fact that their food habits are supposed to be somewhat detri- mental to the interests of the farmer. So completely is this latter fact forgotten in the gloom and naked- ness of winter that it is a common practice in many places, notibly in New Eagland, to place beds of chaff upon the snow into which corn is scattered each day in order to attract the jays. When the ground is well covered with its wintery fleece, they may be seen at all hours of the day eagerly pecking in the chaff for the welcome morsels, and their presence in thegarden and on the lawn relieves to some extent the winter dearth of bird life. The vocal powers of this bird, while by no means to be despised, are not as pleasing as is its plumage, and most of its notes can be considered agreeable only by association. Jays are more or less garrulous all the year, but are particularly noisy at harvest time when laying up a supply of food for the winter. They also exhibit coosideraole powers of mimicry and imitate the notes of many other birds with considerable sue cess. One which was kept in captivity by Mr. Syl- vester D. Judd learned to pronounce several English names distinotly, as wellasto give a schoolboy's yel- and to whistle for a dog. Blue jays have been charged with eating grain, devouring fruit, and destroying the eggs and young of other birds. It is also asserted that they devour numerous insects, and thus to some extent counter- balance the harm they do. Many cases of nest robbing might be cited, but it will be sufficient to give a few notes of field observers. Mr. Henry M. Berry, of Iowa City, Iowa, claims to have seen blue jays suck the contents of four eggs of the wood thrush while the old bird was only a few feet distant doing its best to drive them away. Mr. B. F. Goss, of Pewaukee, Wis., declares that that they are the worst robbers of all, and that their destruction of the eggs and young birds is appalling. Mr. T. J. Bull, of Hot Sptings, Ark., writes: "While standing on the observatory on Hot Springs Mountain, I saw beneath me a pair of red-birds chirping in great distress, and I also noticed a blue jay fly away. Upon looking more closely, I discovered a nest with one young bird in it. * ■ In about half an hour the jay returned to the nest, picking up the young bird, and flew away with it." In view of such explicit testimony from observers whose accuracy can not be impeached, special pains have been taken to ascertain how far the charges were sustained by a study of the bird 's food . An examina- tion was made of 292 stomachs collected in every month of the year from 22 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. One of the first points to attract attention in ex- amining these stomachs was the large quantity of mineral matter, averaging over 14 per cent of the total contents. The real food is composed of 24 3 per cent of animal matter and 75 7 per cent of vegetable matter, or a trifle more than three times as much vegetable as animal. The animal food is chiefly made up of Insects, with a few spiders, myriapods, snails, and small vertebrates, such as fish, salamanders, tree frogs, mice, and birds. Everything was carefully examined which might by any possibility indicate that birds or eggs bad been eaten, but remains of birds were found in only two, and tbe shells of small blrdB' eggs In three of the 2!(2 stomachs. One of ttaoBe, taken on February 10, contained the bones, claws, and a little skin of a bird's foot. Another, taken on June 24, contained remains of a young bird. The three stomachs with birds' eggs wore collected in Juno, August and October, respectively. The shell ea'on In October belonged to the egg of some larger bl. d like the rutted grouse, and considering the time o' year, was undoubtedly merely an empty shell from an old nest. Shells of eggs which were identified as those of domesticated fowls, or some bird of equal size, were found in eleven stomachs, collected at irregular timesduring the year. This evidence would seem to show that more eggs of domesticated fowls than of wild birds are destroyed, but it is much more probable that these shells were obtained from refuse heaps about farmhouses. To reconcile such contradictory evidence is cer- tainly difficult, but it seems evident that these nest- robbing propensities are not as general as has been heretofore supposed. If this habit were as prevalent as some writers have asserted, and if it were true that eggs and young of smaller birds constitute the chief food of the blue jay during the breeding season, the small birds of any section where jays are fairly abundant would be in danger of extermination. The ease with which a bird's actions may be mis- interpreted is well illustrated by the case of a stomach which was received with the legend "Eating robins' eggs, "but which, upon rigid examination, failed to reveal even a minute trace of an egg. It is, of course, possible for a bird to eat an egg without swallowing any portion of the shell, in which case the soft con- tents would soon disappear from the stomach, but in view of the fact that such substances as dead leaves, bits of plant stems, and rotten wood, which are evi- dently swallowed accidentally with insects or other food, are constantly found in bird's stomachs, it does not seem probable that blue jays would discriminate against eggshells. To test this matter, four eggs of the English sparrow were offered to a jay in captivity. The bird at once seized the eggs and began to eat them, but when any piece of the shell, no matter how minute, was accidentally dropped it was at once picked up and swallowed, and several such pieces that were thrown to the farther end of the cage were also eaten, so that the shells with their membranes were entirely gone before the soft contents. Besides birds, remains of small vertebrates were found in twelve stomachs, as follows: Fish and sala- manders in one stomach each, tree frogs in four, mice in five, and a shrew in one. Jt is perhaps worthy of note that Dr. B H. Warren failed to find a trace of any vertebrate remains in examining twenty -three stomachs of the blue jay, fourteen of which were collected in May, one in June, three in September, and five in October. (Birds of Pennsylvania, pp. 200-201.) The jay kept in captivity by Mr. Judd showed a marked fondness for mice, and would devour them apparently with great relish. Another bird ate only a portion of dead mice and refused to touch live mice, preferring insects when it had an opportunity for choice. Insects are eaten by blue jays in every month in the year, but naturally only in small quantities during the winter. The grtat bulk of the insect food consists of beetles, grasshoppers and caterpillars, with a few bugs, wasps, and flies, and an occasional spider and myriapod. The average for tbe whole year is nearly 23 per cent, varying from less than 1 per cent in January to over 66 per cent in August, and gradually diminishing to 3.2 per cent in December. There is a remarkable increase in the quantities eaten in spring and summer, the percentage increasing from 28 in May to 44 in June, and from 46 in July to 66.3 in August. The molting season may account for tbe increase in August, but that in June is not so easily explained. The beetles found in the stomachs may be roughly divided into three groups: Predaceous beetles (Cara- bids); those belonging to the May beetle family (SearabaE'ids); and miscellaneous beetles, including about half a dozen families. Each of these groups forms a little more than 3J per cent of the food. The greatest number of predaceous beetles were eaten in July, when they aggregated 10.25 per cent of the food of the month. The Carabids belong for the most part to genera with blunt jaws, such as Sa.rpa.lus, Cratacanthus, and Stenolophua: only a few specimens with sharp jaws like Pasimachus, Galerita, and Calosoma were found, and it is probable that no great barm is done by the destruction of these beetles, as they are not entirely carnivorous and are therefore less useful, and the individuals are abundant. Scarabsgids reach their maximum abundance in the jay's food in August (11.8 per cent), although nearly as many (1 1 par cent) were eaten in June. They were mostly represented by the larger species, such as the goldsmith beetle (Cotalpu lanigera), thespotted grape- vine beetle (PeUdnota punctata), the brilliant tumble- bug (Phanaus camifex), with many May beetles I Laxhnoitcrna), and quite a large number of fruit eating beetles {Euphoria, inda and E. fulgida). At least five specimens of Euphoria inda were found in one stomach, amounting to 75 per cent of the whole food contents. It iB worthy of notice that one stomach contained a nearly perfect specimen of the grapevine beetle and also the seeds and skins of the wild "grape ( Vitis corctifolia), and it seems probable that the bird visited the vine to feed upon the grapes, but finding the beetle swallowed that also. Beetles belonging to other families aggregate 16.3 per cent in June, the most important being a few leaf-eating beetles (Chrysomelida:-), some click beetles (Elateridae), and a number of curculios (Curculionida?). A dozen curcu- lios, belonging to the genus Balaninus, were found in a single stomach, and three in another. As these beetles live on acorns and other nuts, it seems probable that the birds devoured them when looking for their favotite food, mast. Grasshoppers, crickets and locusts form about 4 4 per cent of the food; but they do not become an im portant element until July, They attain their maxi- mum of 19.5 per cent in August, and continue in con- siderable numbers until December. If June can be called the beetle month in the dietary of the jay, August is the grasshopper month; and birds that eat these insects at all eat the greatest quantity at this time. Many birds that live during the rest of tbe year on food obtained from trees or shrubs come to the ground and feed upon grasshoppers in August. [TO BE CONCLnDED NEXT WEEKj TRADE NOTES.

The Indoor Shooting Tournament, one of the notable and suecasful features of the recent exhibition of the Pacific Coast Forest, Fish and Game Association was marked by phenominal scores and records made by expert pistol shots from various parts of the country. A feature of this wonderful shooting was the fact that all the winners without exception used U. M. C. ammunition exclusively, gaining 18 of the 19 prizes. This apparently simple statement being a matter of record and fact, carries with it a recom- mendation of this famous ammunition which is uncon- trovertible, and emphasizes in a most unqualified manner the well known accuracy and reliability of U. M. C. goods. The following scores will be of keen interest to all lovers of pistol shooting, and will give added evidence as to the value of U. M. C. ammunition. These records five shot string at 20 yards indoor range possible 500, were made: First prize, won by J. E. Gorman, score 479; second prize, G. M. Barley, 477; third prize, A. J. Brannagan, 473; fourth prize, Capt. Ord, 464; fifth prize, G. E. Frahm, 464; sixth prize. A. A. Pape, 457; seventh prize, F. V. Kingston, 455; eighth prize, W. R. Proll, 454; ninth prize, W. F.

Barley, using U. M. C. ammunition, made a possible 50 thusduplicating the world's record. U. M. C. AGAIN AT THE FRONT. The Union Gun Club held its second regular meet- ing at Ingleside on Sunday April 15, 1905. The meet- ing was marked by a large attendance, 43 shooters being present, proving the popularity and permanent interest in blue rock shooting. The club contains a most enthusiastic membership, marked by genuine good fellowship, and is one of the strongest Pacific Coast organizations. Of the 43 con- testants, 34 were users of U. M. C. "Magic," "Majestic" "Acme" and "Monarch" shells, again demonstrating the confidence and security which shooters feel in using this accurate and reliable ammunition. This feeling of confidence and security exists widely and l.as other than local character, and the almost ex- clusive UBe of U. M. C. goods in various meets for trap and all tournament shooting has became an established fact. The following shooters were winners of prizes in various classes: In champion class, Messrs. Holling, Forster and Feudner, all using U. M. C. shells. In first class, Messrs. "Slade," Daniels, Swales and Fish, all using U. M. C. ammunition In second class, Messrs. O Fisher and J. Pisani, each used U. M. C. shells. In third class, Messrs. Patrick and Finnie, each used U. M. C. shells. Straight runs of 25 were made by A. J. Webb and C. D. Goepel, a guest. Mr. Goepel is a sportsman from the North now located here, and will undoubt- edly prove to be a candidate for high honors in meet- ing the crack Eastern shots, who will compete in the coming tournament to be held in San Francisco in September. Mr. Emil Holling with the invincible combination of Remington shotgun and U. M. C. cartridges, was high average at this meeting. WINCHESTER ON TOP. The indoor rifle and pistol tournament that was held at the Mechanics Pavilion under the auspices of the Pacific Coast Forest, Fish and Game Association, from April 1st to 15th, was productive of some of the most brilliant indoor shooting ever recorded on this Coast. Mr. George Tammejer, shooting a Winches- ter single shot rifle and Winchester make .22 long rifle ammunition, carried off the premier honors of the tournament, having made twenty-five possibles, or 2500 out of the possible 2500, during the tourna- ment. Of the sixty-eight possible's made during the shoot, forty-nine were made with Winchester make of ammunition. The following named gentlemen had the honor of making perfect scores, 100 out of the possible 100 with Winchester make of ammunition: George Tammeyer, D. W. King, Jr., Martin Blasse, W. F. Blasse, A. H. Pape, O. A. Bremer, A. Studer, E. Hammond, Chris Meyer and W. G Hoffman. The above is the most persuasive proof that Winchester make of ammunition that shoots where you aim, therefore— if you wish to obtain the very best results, insist upon getting the Winchester make of ammu- nition, the kind champions shoot.

The great and distinguishing character- istics of the Guernsey co is the richness of the animal. She was known years ago as the "Farmer's Yellow Cow." The Guernsey the world over has the rich yellow skin which old time dairy people always said indicated a good butter cow. In the standard of escell nee which has been adopted for t e breed it is distinctly stated that the Guernsey is regarded as a dairy cow, first and foremost. As a dairy cow we believe her great and distinguish- ing feature is her ability to produ e most economically, milk and butter of the highest natural color. It is this natural color of the product that sells tbem. That is what attracted attention to the breed by those men who first introduced it into this country. When the Fowlers, in 1870, brought the first Guernsey to this country to be offered at auction, it was the intense golden yellow of her skin that called her promi- nently to the attention of the public It Beemed a remarkable and a desirable feature of a dairy cow. When a herd was introduced into Massachusetts the coming year and butter made from same exhibited before the Massachusetts Society for the Promotion of Agriculture, it seemed incredulous that a class of cows could give milk from which such rich golden colored butter could be gathered without the addition of artificial color. So impressed with this fact were many members of this society that an importation of the breed was made by them. Gentlemen with private dairies sought for the natural color. They were enticed by the yellow butter as placed on their tables, or pleased with the rich appear- ance of the milk and cream as placed before them in the glass. Now this distinguishing quality has received wider recognition and the breed in public tests has been given its just reward. A critical and fancy trade has determined and appreciated the fact that accompanying this natural color is an especially desirable flavor. It is not the animal whose products are artificially colored, but the one who can give the highest natural color that should receive the reward. It is not the cow who with these qualities that give a reasonable amount of milk and butter fat of good color, and produce a fine, healthy calf each year, that we wish to breed from. The use of young and immature bulls is deplorable. What we want are those who have proven themselves as sires and are from parents extra rich in skin color, and whose dams and sire's dams have perfect udders. Such an animal's worth is beyond price and their advent should be heralded with delight both in the breeding pen and in t e show ring It is especially gratifying to notice how they are received in the sections where they have been introduced. Go into New England, down the Hudson in New York, into Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and Wisconsin, and you find not onlv fine herds of thoroughbreds, but you will notice that the dairymen of those sections Have been impressed with their substantial, business like appearance and golden icolored products, and have been drawing on the breed for the grading up and improving the dairy stock of their section. William H. Caldwell. Charles N. Bair of Billings, Montana, one of the largeBt individual sheep owners in the world, has sold his entire clip of wool in advance before shearing to a Boston firm for 22J4 cents a pound. The clip is estimated at S00.0OO pounds. Some of his neighbors were not so fortunate and have been contracting to deliver wool at sixteen cents the pound. Buzzards on the Black List. Dr. Charles Keane, State Veterinarian, classes the buzzards among agents de- structive to cattle and maintains that there Bhould be no legislation preventing destruction of the carrion bird of Cali- fornia. Under the impression that there was a State law protecting the buzzard, Dr. Keane had started to prepare a bill for its repeal, but found that the various counties regulated the matter to conform to their own ideas. Dr. Keane said: "In my opinion, the buzzard is extremely harmful to the cattle interests because it acts as a con- veyor of disease, particularly of anthrax and blackleg. The good they accomplish is of such primitive character and so in- significant compared to the harm, that the species may be said to have outlived its usefulness. "Buzzards which feed upon carcasses of animals that have died of anthrax or blackleg are almost certain to convey the disease to one or more ranches or farms adjoining. Like other scavengers, they are not themselves susceptible to the com- plaints they carry. Hog cholera is another contagion they have spread "In certain out of the way cases, where stock die of sporadic complaints, the buz- zard may do some good, a few years ago, when cattlemen were glad of any assis- tance in keeping their ranges free from rotting carcasses, the buzzard was of some use. Now, however, sanitary measures for the protection of cattle are compulsory, and all carcasses must be burned or buried, so that buzzard has little oppor- tunity of being of value. Dehorning Cattle. Tne horns of cattle consiBt of two parts of different origin. The outer horny shell is a growth derived from the Bkin while the inner part or pith consists of bone end is an outgrowth of the skull. At the birth of a calf earh of these parts is undeveloped and only exists as a possi- bility Dut they at once begin to g.-ow and in a short time the young horn can be felt as a slight elevation or button. The born tissue develops from the skin just as do hoofs and claws in the lower animals and nails in human beings. A zone in the skin about the base of the horn is known as the matrix, from which new horn-cells are constantly forming, the older parts being pushed on. If we destroy the periosteum from which the bony part of the horn is formed and the matrix from which the bony part springs we prevent further development of the horn. In removing horns which are al- ready more or less developed, as in de- horning mature animals, the cut must be made deep enough to include the matrix or the stump or the horn will continue to grow. There is no danger of cutting into the brain cavity, as at this point it lies very deeply. The openings frequently seen on removing the horns are only empty spaces with which the frontal bone is honeycombed. Both Breeds are Good. A farmer argues that the dairy breed controversy simmers down to a question of individual cows. Some Holstein- Friesian cows give milk containing only two per cent butter fat while others give milk containing five per cent and above but the average fat content of a great many tested cows is close to 3.6 per cent, the standard of all breeds and classes being about 3.8. On the other hand Jersey cows are found which give as low as three per cent of butter fat and only a few of them, when in full flow of milk, give over five per cent. No one has claimed that the Jersey doeB not put fat enough into her milk for she does this. The valid or even necessary objection to the breed is that a vast lot of them are ten pound a day cowb Which is worse — a ten pound a day cow in full flush, giving six per cent milk, or a thirtv pound a day cow giving two per cent milk? Both are star boarders, but the latter is better than the former inasmuch as there is at least some pig or calf feed in her product. Racing! Racing!

The inspection work of the depart- ment of agriculture at the various pork packing centers of the country reveals some rather disturbing features, says Hoard's Dairyman. It is shown that there has been a remarkable increase in the number of hogs that are found tuberculous in the last three years. Three vears ago the number was 4U0U. Lan year the number had increased to 14 000 But what Hoard's Dairyman wishes to call especial attention to is the fact that 90 per cent of these tuber- culous hogs are said to come from the dairy districts. How did they get this disease' .. The answer is, By feeding on skim milk from tuberculous cows. Every hog found thus diseased is almost a dead loss to the packer. Already, we understand, the packers are moving to force a very unfavorable discrimination against hogs coming from dairy districts. The hog is a very im- portant adjunct to the dairy farmers, and it will nit them hard if their hogs are discriminated against. Here is an- other solid reason why dairy farmers' should at once set to work to have their herds tested with tuberculin. If the farmers will test their cows and get rid of the diseased members of the herd they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are not spreading the disease among their own cattle and hogs and that the milk is healthy and wholesome for both human beings and farm animals. This is also another argument for the use of the farm separator. Where a man separates his own milk on the farm he is not feeding diseased milk from his neighbors' cows— neither is he poisoning the bogs or calves of his neighbors in case his own cows are diseased. Looked at from any standpoint, it seems to us to he the highest wisdom for every dairyman to tuberculin test his herd at least once a year. With this disease it is also absolutely necessary to be certain of the soundness of every cow or young animal that comes into the herd, or else the guardian work of years may be destroyed by one case of care- lessness. Money in Hogs. There hae been a Bharp advance recently in pork and pork products. Ham, bacon and lard have gone up con- siderably in price and there is a rosy prospect ahead for the farmer with a well tilled sty. J. W. Dowdell, Manager oi the Western Meat Company's office in Sacramento says: "Such a demand as exists at this time should be encouraging to the pork- xing sections of the State. Practi- cally all the pork raised here is consumed fresh, and this is but one-third of the total necessary to gratify the California taste for pork. The amount of smoked goods consumed is twice as great, and nearly all of this product comes from the Kast. "For the first time in five years there is abundance of bee and mutton. We shall have en ,unh cattle and ebeep lo supply all the California demand and we shall be able to export to Honolulu ami the l'tnlippines.

Cattlemen in tboge counties against which a quarantine on account of Texas fever was proclaimed several months ago are showiug a disposition to make its duration as sliort as possible. State Veterinarian Keane has just returned from Santa Barbara, where he attended a meeting of the Stockmen's Association As a result of the conference and special inspections made in that county Dr. Keane hopes to be able to raise the re- strictions in part which are now placed on the shipment of cattle from the whole country. The boundaries of the quarantined dis trict have not been changed. Cattle from the counties of Kern, Tulare, I San Luis Obispo, Madera, Merced, Fresno and Kings can be moved to points outside of the quarantined area after inspection and upon written permission by a State or Federal Inspector. Cattle from other parts of the quaran- tined area cannot be moved into any of I the above mentioned counties, or to any part of the territory lying outside of the quarantined district. This district in- cludes Santa Barbara, Kern, San Bernar- dino, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties. Owing to the vigilance of stockmen in guarding against the plague of Texas [ever and in using all known remedies for destroying the ticks which spread the disease, many counties are making head way in cleaning up their herds, so that the quarantine will not much longer be necessary. Dr. Keane states that Merced county is at present free from fever ticks, but the quarantine cannot be raised. Madera county is also free along her northern boundary. Parts of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara are also un- affected by the disease. Cattle destined for immediate slaughter can be moved from the quarantined dis- trict to any part of the United States, The cars in which these cattle are loaded are placarded stating that the cattle are southern cattle, and when the stock arrives at its destination it is immediately slaughtered and the carB thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. On the route of travel there aie pens set aside lfor these southern cattle, into which no other cattle are allowed, thus obviating any danger of spreading the infection to healthy stock.— Sacramento Union. ^Twelfth Annual Celebration Butchers Board of Trade _A.t til© Oaliland Race Track.

BEAD THIS: We wish to call the attention of those interested in Draft Horses that we are fully determined to close out our Stallions in the nest four weeks. In color they are mostly blacks — a few dark greys. One of them a five-year old. Weight 2100 pounds. One of the finest wg imported has a fine, small head and throat latch, very short in the back with a draft middle; is clean in the limbs and has been very much admired by all who have seen him. We have two other dark greys that are very much admired on account of quality and size. In our collection of thirty head of Stallions the first sales were greys. We have one dark bay with black points, no white; coming four years old, weight 1050 pounds. We will guarantee him to weigh at maturity 2400 pounds. He is much admired for his fine head and throat latch and short back. His limbs are first-class and in proportion to his body. These Stallions are not like some other breeds that we have with the thickest part of the neck at the top end. They have size, quality and endurance. We have quite a number of black stallions, four and five years old, weighing from 1900 to 2000 pounds. Their good qualities are too numerous to men- tion. They are as "fine as peaohes," with fine head and throat latch and very olean limbed. We never had a barn of as good Stallions at any place as we have at present in San Jose. These Stal- lions are ready any day for service. People say that there is at present thn brightest prospeot for good crops in this country that has been for years. Wny will not the farmer improve his horse stock and also the prosperity of the com- munity in which he lives? We now have twenty head of good Stallions to seleot from. C. F. Singmaster, the senior membsr of the firm, has been in San Jose for the past five weeks and is proud to say we havehad extremely good success in making sales. Have met with only two fail- ures in making sales, and that was sometime ago when people were a little afraid of drouth. We expect the parties to come back now any day, as we have had fine rains and prospects for the farmer and stock raiser never were better. Intending purchasers will do well to come soon and see our stock of horses, and we are very sure they will go home with a good Stallion. Where they pay cash we make a liberal discount. In our next shipment will be some good registered draft mares. MANAGER TOR Singmaster & Sons' San Jose Branch 127 St. John Street, San Jose, Cal. — ,-- ONE OF THE GREAT COMPANIES r mt OF THE WORLD.

Los Angeles association and the State Fair, together with the Breeders August meeting and three or four others certain to be given, has aroused great interest in harness horse affairs on the Coast and the prospects are for the best circuit in years. Never has there been a better outlook for big crops of hay, grain and all kinds of fruit and vegetables in California fields, orchards and gardens, and 1905 will, unless something unforeseen happens, be one of the most prosperous years in the annals of the State's history. It will be a good season to race your horses and if they win and make good records the chances of sailing them at high figures will be excellent. Enter in as many of the classes at the Breeders meeting as you possibly can and then get in shape to win a part of that $14,500 which is hung up. Remember entries close next Monday.

ECUADOR Henry Wheatley, Napa GREEN'S RUFUS The Bay wood Stud, San Mateo THE FIRST BOOK OF FARMING is the title of * a book of 250 pages just issued from the press of Doubleday, Page & Co., of New York. The author is Charles L. Goodrich, farmer, and formerly instructor in agriculture at the Hampton Agricultural Institute, Virginia, who has written every chapter in a style that is not only entertaining, but can be readily understood by anyone who can read English. The general principles underlying plant culture are first treated, then come chapters on soils, relation of soils to water, forms of soil water, loss of soil water, =oil temptrature, plant food, seed planting, spading and plowing, harrowing and rolling, farm manures, com- mercial fertilizers, rotation of crops, farm drainage, etc. There are nearly a hundred illustrations in the book, each of which has a practical instructive value. Numerous experiments that can be tried by anyone are described by which soils and seeds can be tested. We do not know of a work that contains so much of practical value to the farmer be he a novice or a veteran tiller of the soil. The price is only $1. J. W. Cheney, Colusa, Cal.— There are quite a number of mares by the name Luella registered in the American Trotting Register and also several by that name registered in the American Stud Book, which is toe registration book for thoroughbreds, but none that answer the description you give of this mare. Perhaps you might learn something about her from Monroe Salisbury if he owned her at one time. His address will be Pleasanton for a short time, as he will soon go East with the East View Farm horses. Geo. Flickentsein, McKinleyville— There is no mare registered by the name of Belle Fallis, ud to the close of Vol. 16, which was printed in 1904. E. A. Gammon, Courtland — We have no record of the breeding of a horse by tbe name of Frank Morrel. He is not registered and is not mentioned in any of ttie Valensin catalogues in our possession. BEE FARMING is one of the favorite industries in the hili and mountain regions of California, and can be followed profitably almost anywhere if there is pasturage for the honey makers suitable to produce good sweet honey. A voluminous volume of 500 pages called the A B C of Bee Culture has recently been revised and reprinted by the A.I. Root Co. of Medina, Ohio. It is a cyclopaedia of everything pertaining to the care of the honey bee, and is compiled from facts gleaned from the experience of bee keepers all over the land. The book is profusely illustrated. READVILLE PURSES filled especially well. They were advertised to be under the three in five system. DoeB it not seem strange that the old system is so popular in spite of all the newspaper talk about it. The truth is the horeemen who put up the entrance money that makes big purses possible like the three in five plan better tban any other, as there are more chances to win. ENTRIES CLOSE MONDAY NEXT, the first day of May, for the big stakes and purses offered by the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Associa- tion for its meeting to be held during August next. This will be one of the greatest harness meetings held on the Coast this year, the colt stakes to be decided, being great attractions in themselves. The largest stake offered on the Coast for class trotters is the $2000 California Stake for horses of the 2:24 class. This stake has been a great success since its inaugura- tion three years ago, and resulted in one of the greatest contests seen on the Coast last season, when Moroseo won it after H. D. B. and Una K. had each taken a heat. As $1000 of the money goes to the first horse it is a stake worth entering in, and as it is for horses of the 2:24 class, all the fast trotters of previous years are barred. The Pacific Slope Stake for 2:20 class pacers value $1500, is another good stake that alwaysarouses great interest. Last year Rajah, a son of Charles Derby captured it, distancing four good horses in the first heat, and making the race in threestra'ght heats. In addition to those stakes, $800 purses are offered for the 2:27, 2:17 and 2:13 class trotters, and 2:17, 2:13 and 2:09 class pacers. The stakes of the Pacific Breeders Futurity are getting to be the features of the annual meetings. This year the three-year-old trotters will contest for $2300 and the three-year old pacers for $1300. The two-year-old trotters have $1450 to divide amopg them, and the two-year-old pacers $950. There are many high class colts and fillies now in training for these events and it is possible but hardly probable that the records of last year's contests may be beaten, as they were fast races. Those who have horses in training for the California Circuit this year should remember that while the entrance fee to the class races is five per cent, it only costs two per cent to name a horse on May 1st, and if he goes wrong before June 1st, he can be declared out without additional cost. The announcement of the big program of the THE FELLOW who hit the front page of last week's Kentucky Stock Farm with a hard boiled egg that he had dipped in green paint should be ap- prehended before he gets out of Kentucky, and placed in solitary confinement. Information Wanted. San Francisco, April 25th, 1905. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— With your permission I would like to inquire of your readers as to the whereabouts of the following named gentle- men, Mr G. Lacey and Messrs. Murray and Jewell. The two last-named gentlemen were at one time "stable keepers at San Rafael, Cal." Mr. Lacey stood the thoroughbred stallion Hubbard, and I understand the stallion, Milton Medium, the season of 1877 at Shell Mound Stock Farm, near San Rafael. Messrs. Murry and Jewell were stable keepers. The late Geo. P. Kimball, carriage manufacturer, of San Francisco, and Mr. Lacey were their patrons. Any information that can be furnished as to the above would be thank- fully appreciated, Yours, Samuel Gamble. P. S. — I have at last discovered another mare by the name of "Fly, " once owned by the late Wm. C. Ralston. Such was learned through a receiptor a letter on the 16tb inst. from a well-known gentleman, who at one time was in the employ of Mr. Ralston. He states: "I would be pleased to help you in tracing the matter you have in hand, but do not think that I can. Mr. Ralston had a team of mares, Fly and Gip. Fly was a chestnut mare and her markings, to my recollection, were star and snip, bind ankles white. I never heard of Hiekok selling Mr. Ralston a team of mares, although he may have done so." A Promising Son ot McKinney 2:11 1-4. A young stallion that gives promise of great things, both as a race horse and sire, is the handsome black four-year-old, General Frisbie, owned by Mr. Thomas Smith of Vallejo, Cal. His likeness appears on our title page this week, and at a glance it will be seen what a grandly proportioned, srroothly turned, styl- ish individual he is, and his good looks are backed up by the very best of blood lines, he being a full brother to Tom Smith 2:13} by McKinney out of Daisy S. (also dam of Little Mac 2:271 and Sweet Rose 2:285) by McDonald Chief 3583; grand am Fanny Rose, dam of Columbus S. 2:17 and Geo. Washington 2:16|; third dam the thoroughbred mare Jenny Lind, dam of Prince Allen 2:27. Tbe General stands 1 5A hands, weighs 1100 pounds when in good flesh, and is a nice going, good-gaited trotter with a wonderful turn of speed for what little work he has had. He was not trained last year, owing to sickness, but is in grand shape this spring, and after a season in the stud, which will be limited to fifteen mares, he will be placed in active training and will undoubtedly learn to trot very fast before fall. There has been a good deal of sparring and cautious feeling this spring among the owners of some of the fast trotters it Philadelphia over a proposed sweep- stakes race of $500 a corner, but nothing definite has developed from the matter. Mr. Charles W. Morri- son, owner of the fast stallion Kanaga 2:18}, has just issued a defi, however, that ought to make the other owners come to time or stop talking. Under date of April 15, he writes from Carlisle, Pa.: "I have de- posited $500 with G. Frank McDonald, in cash, as entrance fee for Kanaga 2:18J, for a match raceagainst the following horses: Antezella 2:10}, Wilque 2:09^, Marion Wilkes 2:08}, Wentworth 2:08 and Dan T. 2:07}, under the following conditions: 'Race to have the six horses to enter, National Trotting Association rules to govern, best three out of five beats to har- ness, said race to be held over a mile track offering the best inducements, and race not to take place later than July 10, 1905. Winner to take the entire purse and gate money, after all the expenses of the meeting have been deducted. Entrance money of all horses to be paid on or before May J, 1905. The race to be play or pay.' " — Trotter and Pacer. Will Logan writing- to the Trotter and Pacer from Memphis last week has the following to say about a California bred mare: "Lafe Shafer has a small but select string. The starof his stable is the mare Zephyr who raced successfully as a four-year-old during the season of 1902, acquiring a record of 2:11. Circuit followers remember well the performance of Zephyr in the 2:30 class at the Hartford meeting, when the daughter of Zombro won the first beat and the official timer failed to record the time. However, scores of horsemen timed the mare this heat in 2:07J. Zephyr before the conclusion of this race was drawn on account of lameness and has not started since that day. She was put to breeding, and Mr. Shafer at the present time has a beautiful filly of hers by Beauseant 2:06J. Last year Zephyr was trained all season and before going into winter quarters trotted a half mile track in 2:1H. She has developed into a strong mare and looks every inch a winner." Readville has an exceptionally long list of entries to Strike!— if they don't give youJackson its purses. They will be printed next week. wrer you ask for it. (The &ve&ev cmfc ■&p#vt&ma%% I April 29, 1906 M JOTTINGS. W\ THE LOS ANGELES PROGRAM is out, and it should please California horsemen as owing to the conditions which require only six entries, every purse should fill. There are fourteen $1000 purses for class horses, and four purses for colts, the three-year- olds being given 1600 and the two-year-olds $500. For the trotters there are the 2:11, 2:14, 2:17, 2:20, 2:24, 2:27 and 2:45 classes; for the pacers the classes pro- vided are the 2:09, 2:11, 2:13, 2:17. 2:20, 2:24 and 2:27. These fourteen races give every owner a ohance to enter and will provide a program of races that should bring about splendid contests every day. Six to enter and four to start is certainly a very liberal con- dition where all the purses are $1000 each. The Los Angeles Association is an enterprising one, and already has $15,000 in the bank and proposes to pay the purses as soon as they are won, a very popular plan with the horsemen. One of the reasons among many others, why tbe Woodland meetings were so popular with horsemen, was the custom established there years ago of having the Treasurer in the Secre- tary's office under the judge's stand with the coin ready to pay off as soon as the race was decided. The Los Angeles people propose to pay tbe purses promptly and to have everything run in a thorough up-to-date manner. Los Angeles will open tbecircuit July 3d, and I hope every trainer, owner and breeder will commence right now speakiDg good words for the association and securing every entry possible to be made. When an organization of gentleman go do.vn into their pockets and put up the hard cash to guarantee the success of a harness meeting and then issue as generous a pro- gram as that advertised by the Los Angeles Harness Horse Association, they deserve the support of every one that is interested in any way with the breeding, training or racing of harness horses. The trip from this part of the State to Los Angeles is made in a little over twelve hours and is not an expensive one. There will be a meeting at Fresno the week following, and the circuit will continue from there to Pleasanton, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Woodland and Sacramento where the State Fair will hold an excellent harness meeting this year. Everything points to one of the best circuits that California harness horse owners have had provided them in years, and the way to make it successful throughout is to enter at Los Angeles and start it off with a race meeting that will make everybody wish they had been there to see the 6port. If there is good racing at Los Angeles the meetings up North will also be successful and there will be good crowds all the way through the circuit. Look over thao Los Angeles program and see if it is not a liberal one. A couple of ministers of the Gospel were enjoying a buggy ride on the road between Livermore and Pleas- anton one day last week, and tbe mare they were driving was a pretty good one. The driver was a good reinsman, and on one or two occasions, when a particularly good piece of road was encountered he shifted the bit in the mare's mouth and let her step out a little. The day was a beautiful one, the road free from dust or mud, and the two gentlemen of the cloth were enjoying themselves immensely. As they were jogging along quietly after one of these little spurts, their mare put back her ears and began to quicken her speed. She had heard the pit-pat of a fast pacer coming from behind and she was getting ready for a brush if her driver was willing. Although a God-fearing man he is no bigot, and saw no harm in letting the little mare keep ahead of tl.e pacer if she could, and so took a little shorter hold on the lines and signaled to her that "Barkis is willin'." The mare needed no encouragement, and there was a speed contest on in a minute. The pacer drew along- side and, glancing across, tbe sky pilot saw there were two In the other buggy as well as his own, and recog- nizing tbe driver Immediately concluded the little mare would have to make the effort of her life to win, as tbe pacer was a race horse of Grand Circuit caliber. Gradually tbe pacing horse dro-v up alongside the little trotting mare, and step by step gained on her until their noses were oven. Then he drew ahead Inch by inch, but the mare hung on and was only a length behind when a piece of road was reached that was as smooth as a race track for 200 yards and wide enough for both. The preacher took a firmer grip on the linos, and let out a jell that would have done •r.ili, to Andy MoDowell In lii- palmy days. The Mltl ■ mare was immediately instilled witb mm nre speed, and she trotted as she had never • ■:■: •i.-d before. Lower and lower lo the ground she ut"d to get, and with one mighty effort &he caught the pacer and passed him, although his driver was making a reefing finish. Satisfied with the showing made the minister pulled up, and the pacer's driver saluted the victor and drove on. Gradually getting the mare down to a walk, the preacher turned and looked at his brother beside him. He was as pale as a ghost and still clinging to the seat with both hands, while his eyes stuck out like peeled onions. He soon regained his composure, however, and after remark- ing that he had never ridden so fast or been so scared in his life, asked: "Who is the gentleman driving that pacing horse?" "That's Monroe Salisbury," was the answer. After a long silence the retort came: "Well, he is a very pleasant appearing man, and from the way he saluted you I should judge he enjoyed the race as much as you did. But I don't care to meet him again soon unless I am on foot or driving mj own horse." The Eastern turf writers are all talking about George G. 2:06} and saying that now Ed Geers has improved his manners he should be a great race horse. I don't know what manners George G. developed after he was sold and went East, but his racing manners here in California when Albertson had him were not of the cayuse order by a good deal. In fact there was not a horse on the circuit that year that behaved any better than George G. did. In his first start, which was at Vallejo, Albertson did not know how he would act and took him along very gently, but the horse acted well and the next time out he won very handily and continued to win, only losing one heat through a break. He won his other races in straight heats, and after his engagements were filled, showed a quarter in 28| seconds at Sacramento He "gaunted" a little before the end of the season and one or two trainers here thought he would not do for a hard campaign, but so far as his manners were concerned he was known as a good headed horse at all times and trotted some good races in big fields where a bad mannered horse could not have won. His manners were said to be anything but good when Ed Geers got him but they must have been the result of his getting out of condition or the pace being too hot for him before he was ready. George G. only had a record of 2:12} when he left Pleasanton, but he could have stepped a mile in 2:06 there before he left, and done it like a gentleman. I hope that Ed Geers will mark him close to two minutes this year, as I think George G. can come as near trotting to that mark as any horse that has not yet trotted that fast. He certainly has as great a brush of speed as any horse unless it's Lou Dillon. Now that thi California State Agricultural Society has made a new start on new lines, and the State is the actual owner of all Its property, would it not be a good idea for the Board of Directors to introduce some new ideas into its premium list? Take the carriage horse class for instance. Everyone knows that a first class carriage horse is a rare animal and that the owner of one can get a big price for one that is fit to be called by that name. There is no more useful type of horse and none more profitable for the breeder to produce, if they can be raised with as much uniformity of size and type as the draft horse of any established breed. I would suggest that the State Board of Agriculture establish an annual prize for the best carriage horse shown by its breeder. This prize should not be less than $100 in coin and I think $200 would not be too high a figure. In announcing such a prize it should be stipulated that horses entered for it should be shown in harness. It should be open to mares or geldings, weight and height fixed between certain limits, style, manners and soundness to count largely in the score of points, and in short the condi- tions should be such as would require the prize win- ner to be worthy in every way to be called a carriage horse. Hor6es of any breeding should be permitted to compete, but the owner should be required to give breeding of his entry as far as its grand sires and dams on both sides. Horses with banged or docked tails should be barred. An annual prize of this sort might not attract a very heavy entry list the first year, but breeders would soon become interested and I believe it would encourage much more extensive breeding of this class of horses. It might be that a 6take could be arranged for carriage horses to be shown as four- year-olds, to which a small entry fee could be charged, with added money as in the Occident and Stanford Stakes, which are for trotting three-year- olds. A show of seven or eight carriage horses com- peting for a rich stake or prize would fill the grand stand and be one of tbe most attractive features of a Slate Fair. The quartotte of California mares entered in the M. iV M. are about as high class a crowd of young trotters as have e'er been named in one stake. They are Mr. de la Montanya's Brilliant Girl by James Madison, Mr. S. S. Bernard's Briquette by Zombro, East View Farm's Helen Keys by Sidney Dillon and P. W. Hodges' Lady Zombro by Zombro. These mares would make a race by themselves that would be worth going a long way to see, and it is to be hoped they all reach Detroit in good shape and start in good condition when the word is given in the $10,000 stake. Lady Zombro has shown the fastest half of any of them thus far, her four furlongs in 1:02* two weeks ago at Pleasanton being the record of workoutsso far. Helen Keys is a pretty fair one herself, and Charley De Ryder has stepped her some fast halves lately. She was bred at the Santa Rosa Stock Farm and is by Sidney Dillon out of a mare by Piedmont. A Sidney Dillon won the last M. & M. and it would make quite' a sensation in breeding circles should one of his get repeat the performance this year. Briquette, the other Zombro mare named in the stake iB the mare which Mr. M. A- Murphy of this city bred and re- cently sold to Mr. S. S. Barnard of Colorado Springs. She worked a half in 1:051 before the sale. Brilliant Girl was bied at Oakwood Park Stock Farm and is by James Madison out of BrUliantshine by Charles Derby. She was started four times on Eastern tracks last year. At Proviience she was second to Anaconda who trotted his three winning heats in 2:13, 2:11} and 2:13. At Readville where Anaconda won again, she was 3-5 in the summary and the heats were in 2:09| and 2:10|. At Columbus in the 2:19 class trot won by Brownie Wilton she was one of eighteen starters and was outside the money, being seventh in the sum- mary. Her last start was at Memphis where she was a good second both heats to Bonnie Russell when he won in 2:10} and 2:11}. Jack Curry says she is a better mare than Tuna 2:08}, her stake companion. On form she is one of the best prospects for a winner of tbe big Detroit stake, and at all events California breeders will be well represented in the race by Brilliant Girl, Lady Zombro. Briquette and Helen Keys if they all reach there in condition and start. Good Program for State Fair. The Speed (Jommittee of the California State Agri- cultural Society has arranged a harness racing pro- gram for the State Fair this year, which will be submitted to the Directors at theirmeetingnext week, and which will very likely be adopted without ohange as it has the approval of every member of the Board who has examined it. Purses will also be offered for runners, and while there will only be six racing days instead of twelve, as has been the custom in recent years, the change is more than acceptable to all, and the prospects are excellent for one of the be6t fairs in years. The program, as arranged by Directors Burke, Kingsbury and Rose of the Speed Committee, is as follows: Saturday, September 2d. Occident Stake, three-year-old trotters — $400 added. Stallion Stake, Pacing Division, three-year-olds — $400 added. Pacing, 2:09 class— $800. Trotting, 2:15 class— $700. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER OTH. Stallion Stake, Trotting Division, three-year-olds — $600 added. Pacing, 2:13 class— $600. Trotting, 2:12 class— $700. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH. Pacing, 2:20 class— $600. Trotting, 2:30 class— $600. Roadster race— $100. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH. Occident-Stanford Stake Pace, three-year-olds — $300. Trotting, 2:18 class— $600. Roadster race— $1C0. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH. Stanford Stake, three-year-old trotters — $300 added. Pacing, 2:18 class— $600. Trotting, free-for-all— $S0O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9TH. Pacing, 2:25 class— $1500. Pacing, free-for-all— $800. Trotting, 2:24 class— $1500. In addition to the above a $300 purse will be offered for two-year-old trotters, another for two-year-old pacers. Mr. C. K. G. Billings w'ill have a closing out sale of nearly all bis horses next winter. He will retain Lou Dillon. Major Delmar, Prince Direct, Hontas Crooke and a few others and some of his broodmares. Mr Billings expects to make a tour of Europe in 1906 with his family, and therefore will dispose of nearly all his horses in training. He must have nearly fifty horses in training all the time. He will breed the most of his 'best mares to Prince Direct. APKIL 29, 1905 1 ®tu? gtxeeiiev em& &povT&nian 9 TOZER'S TURF TALK. The latest from the seat of turf war (Chicago) is the ultimatum of the District Attorney, who declares he will see to it that the law against betting in Illinois is enforced to the letter- He furthermore declares that arrests for infringement of the law will take place every hour, if necessary. This will undoubtedly hold the warring "magnates" of the turf for a time. I think I see the fine Hibernian hand of the blind sage of Harlem, John Condon, in the stand of the District Attorney. Mr. Condon apparently has looked far ahead, made up his mind quickly, sawed wood and acted with dispatch in securing a lease on the excellent track at Hammond, Ind., just a pleasant ride from Chicago. He probably has other near- by courses in Hoosierdom, from whence he hails. If there be no racing allowed in Cook county Corrigan is undoubt- edly placed at a disadvantage— temporarily, at least. He will in all likelihood see the way the wind is blow- ing and have a plant in operation down in Indiana in a month or so, but he will have that much the worst of it, and a month's start in a race track struggle for supremacy is not to be sneered at. As a strategist Mr. Condon is certainly a regular Mosby. Things looked lively in a racing way in the Windy City by the big lake when the new Mayor, Judge Dunn, won over Harlan, and the Corrigan forces smiled sweetly and went on preparing their monetary reapers for the harvest of coin that seemed to be in plain view, ripened and ready. Nothing was said about the District Attorney "sitting in" and calling for "keerds" in the racing game until the Worth people had unloaded whole train-loads of racers and prepared their plant for the fray. Theo, at the eleventh hour, Mr. District Attorney sounds his bell of warning, and the Corriganites' smile came off. They have been out-generaled, and John Condon has in all likelihood made his royal flush in the draw. Of course, Corrigan has the Indianapolis fair grounds track under lease, and may move his show to the capital of James Whitcomb Riley's State, but Indian- apolis wont draw anywhere near as well as will Ham- mond, at least that's the way it looks to an unbiased person scanning the landscape from a promontory with a good pair of fleld glasses. the only American horse that ever won both the Derby and St. Leger in England. The Horse. Samuel Adler of the clever firm of Cella, Adler & Tilles, St. Louis, claims to be the Moses that will lead the tribe of race track owners out of the Missouri wilderness. It seems that the Godfrey law has a hole in it large enough to admit all the betting men in that commonwealth. That hole is the failure to take in Paris mutuel betting when the reformers were making the law that was to sound the death-knell of racing in Folk's state. Adler says there is nothing to prevent the sale of Paris mutuels, provided no ticket is issued, and this is to be gotten around by marking the sale on the daily badge of the buyer, by the pur- chaser, under the surveillance of an employe who is connected with the track mutuel machine. Of course this is a rather unsatisfactory way of placing money on horses, but it beats nothing all hollow, and the mutuel machine will do awav with most of the skull- duggery of the turf that was prevalent under the booking system. That a winner has to be picked, in order for a person to win, means that riders will not be paid to "pull" horses sure to be heavily played, as was the case too often under the present plan, and instead of having from 10 to 20 per cent the worst of it, 5 per cent will be the charge for handling the coin of the dear public. Iredeus, one of the best-looking and most consistent race horses that ran here this season, broke down badly last Saturday in a mile race wherein he was leading by over two lengths to the final sixteenth. Dr. Rowell saw that his horse's racing days were oyer, and offered him for a ridiculously small sum. He was purchased Monday morning for the La Siesta Stock Farm in San Mateo county, and will be bred to a few select matrons domiciled there. Iredeus is bred on the most fashionable lines, combining the best blood of England and America. Imp Golden Garter, his sire, is to my mind the best bred horse in America, being by Bend Or (winner of the Derby and sire of Ormonde, Ben Strome, Order, Kendal, Martagon, etc.,) out of Sanda(dam of Sanfoin, winner of the Derby and sire of Rock Sand, winner of the triple crown) by Wenlock (winner of the St. Leger and sire of the dam of Isinglass, largest winnrr in turf history)- There are little but classic stake winners in Golden Garter's pedigree, and among other things I note that his third and fourth dams won the Oaks. Iris, dam of Iredeus, was a frequent winner by Darebin, and Darebin is probably the greatest sire of brood- mares in America, throwing, as they did, such stars as Commando, Mesmerist, Hastasoo, Goldsmith, Gold Van and Africander. Iris' dam was by Iroquois, who led the stallions of this country one season and was The first foal by the magnificent Bramble horse, Greenock, came last week at Antioch, and is pro- nounced by experts to be the finest youngster ever foaled on the place. The dam is a young Magnet mare. The horse is now quartered at the farm super- intended by Mr. Nugent, and will probably be mated with some very good mares. I predict that he will prove the best sire in the State, and only regret that I am not the owner of a stock farm with Greenock aE the premier stailion thereon. Just what breeders are thinking of to let a horse with the great looks, grand breeding and splendid turf record of Greenock vir- tually go-a-begging, I am at a loss to know, but that was the lot of his grandsire, Bonnie Scotland, and of Virgil, sire of Hindoo, who begot Greenock's dam. James Woods, the ownerof Greenock, is not a breeder, and it is to be deplored that some person owning a number of fine mares does not come along and buy this horse, which, I understand, can now be secured for $1000. Mr. Woods' address is 532 Eighteerth street, Oakland. Dr. Leggo, having shown the most remarkable staying qual.ties of any tbree-year-old in America for the past twenty years, last Wednesday tried his feet at three-quarters of a mile, winning laughingly over a fine field of sprinters, after being absolutely last and a poor last when they had gone a furlong. He runs that last three-eighths so fast that his opponents appear to be hauling logs as he comes up. Follow Me, whose dam is the grandam of Dr. Leggo, won on the same afternoon in impressive style. Ralph H. Tozer. Corrigan on the Missouri Situation. [Kentucky Parmer and Breeder.] Mr. Edward Corrigan, the moving spirit of the new American Turf Association, accompanied by Mr. Matt J. Winn, president of the association and manager of the New Louisville Jockey Club, spent Wednesday in Lexington. They were at Mr. Corri- gan's farm most of the day, but in Lexington long enough to shake hands with a number of friends. In conversation with a representative of The Kentucky Farmer and Breeder, Mr. Corrigan expressed the fullest satisfaction at the condition of affairs of the American Turf Association. He said the outlook could not possibly be more promising than it is and that the work already accomplished by the Associa- tion was far ahead of any expectations which the gentlemen who organized it had in the beginning. "The only discouraging feature to racing in the West," said Mr. Corrigan, "is the recent adverse legislation in Tennessee and Missouri You struck the key-note of the situation iu your editorial in The Kentucky Farmer and Breeder last week when you said that Gov. Folk's opposition to racing was due solely to his knowledge of the conditions prevailing at the St. Louis tracks controlled by the Cella-Adler- Tilles combination. Any man familiar with the con- ditions there will verify your statement that that syndicate of gamblers ran faro banks, crapgames and every other form of skin games at the tracks under their jurisdiction both day and night. Folk was determined to put a stop to that sort of thing and in order to do it he had to prohibit racing in the State. I have $133,000 invested in the Kansas City track and 1 am glad of the action of Governor Folk. He deemed such action necessary in order to rid the racing in- terests of Missouri of the corrupt St. Louis syndicate, and if he succeeds in his effort, as I believe he will, he deserves the thanks of every man who has the best interests of racing at heart. I am perfectly willing to let my money at Kansas City lie idle for two years in order to bring about this reform, and I believe that at the end of two years such legislation will be passed with Governor Folk's approval as will allow racing in the State of Missouri, when conducted on a proper plane by decent people. Gov. Folk is an honest man and a fair man. He is giving and will continue to give the State of Missouri the best administration in his power, and the people away from there do not understand the service which he will do if he succeeds in wiping out the Cella-Adler-Tilles gang. " Valuable Horses. Are a treasure to their owners In early spring. Every horse that can walk Is of considerable value in the busy work season. Businessmen, teamsters and farmers at times can not estimate in dollars and cents the worth of a well-disposed and healthy horse. Many horse owners have found by experience that Craft's Distemper & Cough Cure kept as a tonic and used regularly preserves this nobie creature from the numerous germ diseases such as influenza, shipping fever, colds, pinkeye, gr.ppe. etc. It not only prevents these diseases but it is guaranteed to cure If used faithfully according to driections. The manufacturer authorizes druggists to refund the price where it fails Our readers who are unable to obtain a supply from druggists may order it prepaid from the manufacturers, Wells Medicine Co., Lafayette, Ind. ■» Jackson's Napa Soda does not tangle the feet. At the Museum of Natural History in New York there is now a very interesting series of exhibits illus- trating the development of the horse, from the five- toed creature discovered some years ago on the plains out in Wyoming to the Arabian barb, which has long stood and still stands at the summit of the equine scale. This exhibit shows the horse very instructively in his relation, structurally rather than industrially to man. In a large glass case stands the skeleton of a fine horse, rearing on its hind legs, raising its paws in the air, and tossing its head aloft, while at its side is the skeleton of a man, in the attitude of restraining the horse; and while each bony frame is absolutely true to the anatomy of the creature represented, the resemblance of the two is so great as to cause a sense of wonder in the beholder. The skeletons seem abso lutely to be those of creatures of the same genus. The horse is made the man's own brother. There is a double allegory in this picture. One story it tells of the onward march of two of God's creatures to- ward beauty, freedom, strength, swiftness, spirit and of their apparent arrival at the possession of almost n identical frame; and another story, of a companiona- ship which can never be terminated in spile of man's mechanical caprices. The horse, unlike most other creatures, never reached the perfection of his physical development until he became associated with man. Similarly, man never became truly great, truly free, until he called the horse into his service. The nearest approach to a human condition which is one of essential nobility without the horse is found in certain tribes of the North American Indians before the white men came; and these very Indians had brought themselves nearer to the nature and the frame of the horse himself than any other race of men on the globe. And when at least the horse came, the Indian greeted him aB a friend, as a long-lost brother. A Greek in body and pose the man must have been who had such a frame as that exhibited in the group at the Museum of Natural History; and I am con. strained to believe that Greek horses must have had such a frame as that by this human skeleton's side, in spite of the representations of a rather stockier, thicker-necked horse that we find in the Greek sculpture. It is an interesting principle that every country produces a horse that fits its own characteristics; he is the creature of the land in which he lives. Surely Achilles or Agamemnon never went to war with a thick-limbed, lumbering horse. It was agricultural employment that reduced the horse to the degrada- tion of an ox-like form and movement, and the ancient * never used him for that. In Wales, for centuries it was unlawful to use a horse to draw a plow. The Welsh, who had fine horses, must have known, or felt in their equine bones, that agricultural tmploy ment would spoil the horse's shape and speed in time. The plow was left to the ox, in the middle ages, and the horse reserved for war and pleasure. He became a true nobleman in his characteristics. But thrifty Germans and Frenchmen brought him to the plow at last, and the ox like Clydesdale and Percheron are the result. The ideal horse is the spare beast thatearriesa spare man on his back — the Arab barb, in sooth. Nothing like this creature was ever produced else- where in antiquity, and it will take free and wild people to develop such a creature again. If the ideal horse is developed by being ridden by a sp3re man of free habits, and never worked otherwise, it may be asked why our Indians did not develop an Arabian horse. This answer is plain. They never had time. They caught the descendants of the Spanish horses which had run wild. These had been good horses originally, but they had had to carry men in armor, and were not of the speediest type. In the wild condition they became shaggy and were somewhat reduced in size, probably by insufficient food on arid plains. Ab ridden by the Indians, they developed staying powers which were numerous and unexampled. If the Indians had bred them for a couple of centuries before they were interfered with they would probably have developed a beast not un- like the Arabian. Again, if the indigenous horse is the creature of the country in which he lives, the question may be asked, What will be the typical American horse, native and of long American parent- age, when it is developed? The answer is easy. It will be a kind of combined trotter and harvest-puller. We have already dev- loped one horse of that sort in the Morgan, but the Morgan was local, and too small- He could manage perfectly either a plow or a sulky, and no horse ever surpassed him in spirit and courage' but he lacked power. If America's eventual contri- bution to the worlds typical and national types of horses is a large Morgan it will have done well \c ducing him. — Exchang* 10 @itc gvezirev axxit gtpxtvtsmttut [April 29, 1905 ^m^M^M^^^m^ms^^m'^^^^^ ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

STRONG E&TIIY FOR 'FRISCO. Entries for the Sari Francisco show will close ionight at No 630 Market street. The club's office will be kept open uotil 10 p. m. This week, we are informed by Secretary J.Love Cunningham, entries "have been pouring in." There is no reason why they should not, for never in the history of a local — or a Coast bench show, has there been such a grand and numer- ous list of handsome and valuable prizes offered. The display of these trophies shown in the windows of Shreve & Co and the Bohm-Bristol Co., has attracted much attention. Among the latest specials are several good ones donated for St. Bernards and one handsome trophy fnr Italian Greyhounds. It is estimated that there will be about 600 entries this year, from what we have observed we do not think the list will fall short of that number, Dor would we be surprised if that mark wis exceeded. There ha9 beon a unity of purpose and an enthusiasm this year that will be effective, the work has been carried on systematically and quietly, and successful results will for that reason be all the more an agree- able surprise. What the mail entry will be we are not yet advised, but it will no doubt be a "sweller," forquitea number of Northern dogs will he sent down after the Portland show closes and a good representation from Los Angeles will be up here. SHOW CIRCUIT NOTES. Victoria closed on the 21st and was a splendid show. Seattle had a great show and closes today.

Although there are laws and ordinances framed to regulate the speed of automobiles, the safety of the public must always depend chiefly upon the care and discretion of the driver. So it may be in order to suggest the observance of some simple rules like these: When going at a speed of twenty miles an hour, if you notice a man in the middle of the street, and he pays no attention to repeated "honk! honksl" before being run over, the chances are that he is deaf. Deaf people are criminally careless when they stand in the street, and may wreck a costly machine by their stupidity. They deserve their fate, but are a source of danger, and should be avoided. If you run oyer a person who is facirjg the machine at the time the indications are he is blind. Blind persons are a serious obstruction to travel, and should keep out of the way or take the constquences. You never can tell, and there is no time to t-low up for the blind. When you see a nervous woman wheeling a baby buggy across the street, and directly in the way of the automobiles, honk vigorously to make her mind- ful of what she is doing, and put on a little more speed, to show her the need of more caution and alertness. Should the baby be tossed into the air it will probably escape uninjured. Most babies like to be tossed, and the mother would receive a needed lesson. Never stop after running over any person. There are always officious people in the neighborhood eager to give first aid to the injured. And sometimes an aecident gives them a chance to make a desirable acquaintance or to butt into society. Another con sideration is that some persons when run over feign insensibility, in order to get a chance to identify the honker and lay the foundation for a suit for alleged injuries. The proper course in case of accident is to drive off as full speed, unless the machine be wrecked, in which case complaint should at once be lodged against the person run over, for obstructing traffic. If he be dead, action should beibegun promptly against his estate, for the value of the machine, and thus annoyance from the executor or administrator be forestalled. Careful adherence to such rules of conduct would go far to get the automobiles into closer touch with the common people, and result in clearing the streets for speedy travel.— Sacramento Bee. The program of the races to be held at Concord on Monday next, May lsi is as follows: Race for Local Roadsters — Lew Holliday's Keno Wilkes, J. Perry's Dick McGinty, Roy Selva's Blue Sidmore, L. R. Palmer's Moiiie D., W. S Clark's Rae C, William Foskett's Dewey. Free-for-all— E. E. Smith's Prince Charles, W. S. Clark's Goldie. This race is still open for more en- tries. Matinee race — J. E. Durham's Fly Away, L. R. Palmer's Derby Potter, William Foskett's Jakie F., The nominating fees to the rich colt stakes have been reduced to such a small percentage of the gross value of the purse that the tax on the nominator is not sufficient to become a burden, and so materially is a colt's value increased by his stake engagements that few breeders care to lose the opportunity of profiting in this way. When colt stakes were first inaugurated tbeir value and importance was not thoroughly understood,cwing to a prejudice that existed among some owners against racing and training at an early age the youngsteis FRITZ 2:13— Champion Australian Trotter Ira Kilgore's Crimp, Hugh Gray's Pilot, M.Perry's Sid Abbott's Sister.

The catalogue of the Third Spring Horse Auction The San Francisco Wheel and Novelty company at Valencia and 16th streets, Coast agents for the Flower that were expected to become great race horses when fully matured; but row that the futurities and other colt stakes have become such important features by light-harness racing, and the contests furnished by the young things and the large sums that are won by trotters long before they are old enough to take part in the all-aged events, this prejudice has to a very great extent disappeared, and today a futurity pros- pect has as great a value as a horse of any other age. Breeders have become impressed with the importance of colt stakes, owing to the fact that nothing enhances the reputation of asire or dam as much as a victory in one of the numerous rich events that are each year offered for the colt trotters, for while the winner of an important all-aged even'u is of course the means of bringing much reputation to a sire, the fact that he has got a futurity winner brings him greater repu- tation than anything short of the siring of a champion. — Kentucky Stock Farm. According to an Eastern paper, the matinee season at the Empire track w'll begin Saturday, June 27( and everything points to it being the best ever held on tba*< track under the auspices of tie Ntw Yoik Driving Club. There are now over 250 members of the club, who own many of the most prominent trot- ting and pacing horses in the country. The plan of racing which will govern the matinees will be the same as heretofore, which has met with general favor. As usual, some very handsome trophie6 in the shape of cups will be offered for tbe horses winning certain championships and the competition for them bids fair to be .teener than ever before, for the horses that win will have to hustle from start to finish. Members are placing tbeir horses in training for the matinee events, and the Empire track will soon be a lively place to visit, especially on workout days. Aside from the matinees and the Grand Circuit meeting, there will also be several automobile meetings at the track. EDWIN S. 2:08— The Fastest Pacer in California Last Year of J. L. McCarthy & Son, to be held at Portland, Oregon. May 2, 3, 4, 5, has been received and it con. tains the description of 129 horse3. It is the most elaborate and best printed catalogue that has been issued for a horse sale on this coast for some time. Brook Nook Ranch has consigned 80 head to this sale. City Sulky, have just received six road cartsand four sulkies of this celebrated make. This is said by the agents to be the Ideal sulky that the horsemen of California have been looking for. They weigh from 25 to 35 pounds. Sweet Marie pulled a Flower City sulky when she beat all tbe best trotters on the Grand Circuit last year. The many friends of Frank W. Covey, former Superintendent of Palo Alto Stock Farm, will regret to learn that he is very ill at his home in Redwood City with diabetes. He is confined to the house, and the physicians do not give much hope for his recovery. The ten-months-old colt Chas. N. Van Trump, full brother to Paul D. Kelley 2:20$, the champion year- ling, was sold last week for $1500. These colts were both bred by U. G. Smith of Glenn Falls, New York* Getaway, the Strathway gelding entered in the M. & M., is thus written about by Grattan in the Kentucky Stock Farm: Getaway took pai t in eight races in 1903, and escaped with a record of 2:24£. He was a 2:12 trotter last year, and I know several people who were not backward in 6tating their belief that, given his head, he could trot in 2:10. I happened to see him race where he appeared to be out-classed . He started in seven races on the Great Western Circuit, and was never as close up as second money at the finish. At Columbus, with the Grand Circuit horses, his best performance was a close third, the fourth heat, in 2:10$. He raced somewhat differently at Lexington and Memphis, closing the season by winning a flag, Tom Axworthy doing the trick in 2:09* He is a well- made bay gelding by Strathway 2:19. son of Stein- way 2:25J|, and is out of Panzy by Dexter Prince 11363, the records telling nothing further about his blood lines. 10 ©to gveebev cmb gfaaxt&mctxt [APRIL 29, 1905 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

STRONG ENTRY FOR 'FRISCO. Entries for the San Francisco show will close ionight at No 630 Market street. The club's office will be kept open until 10 p. m. This week, we are informed by Secretary J.Love Cunningham, entries "have been pouring in." There is no reason why they should not, for never in the history of a local — or a Coast bench show, has there been such a grand and numer- ous list of handsome and valuable prizes offered. The display of these trophies shown in the windows of Shreve & Co and the Bohm-Bristol Co., has attracted much attention. Among the latest specials are several good ones donated for St. Bernards and one handsome trophy for Italian Greyhounds. It is estimated that there will be about 600 entries this year, from what we have observed we do not think the list will fall short of that number, nor would we be surprised If that mark wss exceeded. There has been a unity of purpose and an enthusiasm this year that will be effective, the work has been carried on systematical'y and quietly, and successful results will for that reason be all the more an agree- able surprise. What the mail entry will be we are not yet advised, but it will no doubt be a "sweller," for quite a number of Northern dogs will be sent down after the Portland show closes and a good representation from Los Angeles will be up here. siinu CIBOI IT NOTES.

Winners, dogs April 29, 1905] ©h 'ativeB, all pacers, wlih Frank Bogash at the head. He was by Atlantic King, a bod of Atlantic, the last named hoise being at und simple. He was a horse of (air speed, taking a record ol 2:^. wvaele,and won a number of good races ui management of the late James <;»ld .-ml if. taiion was a decided loss to American breeding in. terests, as his blood has shown its quality on more than ore occasion. Flying Jib and Chehalis, both bred on the Pacific Coast, are the other 2:05 repre- sentatives of the Almont blood, and they were extra good horses in their day, '-The Jib" especially being a wonder for speed, and probably the best gentleman's road horse that overlooked through a bridle. The Dictators have three in the 2:05 list— Directly, Direct Hal atd Nathan Strauss, pacers. The first two of the trio were great racehorses, and both are likely to become prominent as sires. Directly was a champion two-year-old with a mark of 2:07J. Nathan Strauss is unique among pacers from the fact that both his sire and dam were fast trotters, he being by Director 2:17 and out of Mary Marshall ?:12i. There was a pacing streak in the femaielines of his pedigree, however, as May Marshall, sister to Mary, was fast at the pace, beating 2:10 with ease, although she wore the hobbles. The Robert McGregor and Woodford Mambrino families have two each in the 2:05 list, and each fur- nished a world's champion trotter, Cresceus being the best of the McGregors and Alix of the Woodford Mambrinos. The only other family to be represented in the 2:05 table is that of Belmont with two pacers, Carl Wilkes and Indiana. — Chicago Tribune. The Trotting Bred High Actor. W. D. Grand attributes the unprecedented success of the hackneys in the National Horse Show this winter ta the continued destruction of native trotting bred stallions of the heavy harness type, so many of which have been withdrawn from the stud to be con- verted into high stepping show horses, says the Horse World. "The foundation stock has been so nearly wiped out that I doubt whether the breed can be re- vived," said Mr. Grand, but it is doubtful if those who have looked closely into the sources of supply from which the trotting bred show horses have come will agree with him. In the first place, there has been no organized effort to establish a breed of high step- ping trotting bred horses. The famous show horses which have represented the trotting bred families in the show ring have come from all branches of the trotting family and from all sections of the country. Not until the last three or four years have the breeders of trotting horses given much thought to the production of high actors and the results of any efforts they may have made in that direction are yet to be seen. That there are plenty of trotting bred stallions and mares qualified to produce high actors no one can doubt who has any practical knowledge of the American trotter. The mating of these stallions and mares with the object of getting high-acting har- ness horses would certainly result in success in a satis- factory degree, and with the mating of the nest generation a strain of high-acting trotting bred har- ness horses will have been pretty well established. A few breeders will do this, and others will put enough stress on action and its value in the market to pay some attention to the production of horses possessing it in a degree that will make them desirable for show purposes. If, without any effort to produce high actors the breeders of trotters have produced the greater number of the blue ribbon winners in the big shows for the last five or six years as they unquestion- ably have, is it not unreasonable to believe now with many breeders giving more or less attention to the production of horses of this class that a still larger number will be produced? zuthorities. It is, however, unfortunate that some of our best citizers, md they are pre-eminently the class that is interested in the development of tbeonly essen - tial national horse we have, the American trotter, should be placed in the position where tfbey are will- fully and knowingly breaking the laws of the country. Unfortunate as it may prove to be for those who are indentified with the legitimate breeding and racing of the thoroughbred horse the only hope for the business as a whole is that this mush-room legislation may so limit and confine racing, with ;ts gambling adjunct, to proportions that will so appeal to the reason of the sport loving Anglo-Saxon race as to eventually win their representatives at the various State Capitols. In the progress of the evolution toward this end it is to be hoped that trotting horse men and trotting track managers will not lose their heads, as is illus- trated' in the case of the management at Moberly, Mo., whose representative, A. C. Dingle, at the recent meetings of the fair associations of Missouri stated that the bill making pool selling a felony recently passed by the Missouri State Legislature at there- quest of Governor Folk- had caused them to declaie their meeting for 1905 off, and to withdraw from the Missouri grand circuit. This is, indeed, unfortunate as Moberly has one of the best mile tracks in the state, as well as a fine half-mile training track, and the blow will be keenly felt by campaigning horsemen as well as other members of the circuit. It will be my privi- lege this summer to manage the meeting to be held at the Lake Contrary track, St. Joseph. Mo., and if there is no loophole in the law that will permit of pool selling at these races I shall certainly not attempt to violate the law, for I am satisfied that successful meetings can be held without the betting privilege. The course adopted by the Moberly association is un- doubtedly an eloquent protest against the law, yet I doubt the wisdom of the plan, as it has the effect of making people believe that betting is absolutely essential to the horse game. While the revenue from this source is considerable it would be particularly unfortunate to let the impression go abroad that har- ness horse meetings would be a failure without it. Trotting horse men all over the country should make an earnest effort to make the best of a bad situation, strong in the faith that the conditions will eventually adjust themselves in a way that will prove only to the best interests of the sport of racing both harness horses and the thoroughbreds. No Real Foundation. Palmer Clark, founder of the Chicago Horse Review writes as follows in regard to theMissouri anti-betting law: At last the ceaseless grind of hippodrome perform- ances yclept horse racing, in the vicinity of nearly all the large cities, is reaping what it has sown, and the pity of it all is that the legitimate sport of harness horse racing will bave to bear the brunt of the punish- ment meted out and intended for the running horse merry-go-rounds, as there is no way that any distinc- tion can be madein thelaw; enacted for theeradiction of this overgrown, pernicious gambling evil without inviting a breach of tho constitutional provision as to iMslation. Nearly every State Legislature in thecountry where running horse races flourish either has enacted hostile legislation, or is engaged in the process, SO that from all quarters is coming the plaint that harness horse racing is likely to be legislated out of existence. There may be more outcry than is ely necessary, as America is noted for the num- ber "f laws on her statute books that are more honored iu the breach than in the observance, and as a con- ice the three to six days' racing once a year at tho county fairs, etc., for trotters and pacers is likely to continue without any serious interference by the Barnes Get Judgment for $30,000. Col. William S. Barnes, proprietor of the famous Mel- bourne Stud, was awarded $30,000 damages against the Long Island Railroad Company in the Supreme Court, at New York, because of the defendant company's careless handling of twenty-nine head of yearlings) which Mr. Barnes shipped in May, 1902, to the Sbeeps- head Bay race track. The yearlings were to be sold at auction. In transit from Long Island City to the race track, testimony was introduced to show that the two ear-loadB of horses were run over a spur of the Long Island railroad, from which the rails had been removed for a week. Of courBe the cars were derailed and the yearlings were so shaken up that when, they were put up for sale they were suffering from nervous pros- tration, absolutely worthless as race horses, and sold for a tithe of their original value. The case was tried for Col. Barnes by former United States Senator William Lindsay, and associated with him were Kalish, Kraemer & Palmer, of New York. Counsel for the Railroad Company was William E. Beecher, a son of Henry Ward Beecher. John E Madden, an authority on the value of race horses, was the principal witness for Colonel Barnes. He testified that he would have given $30 000 en bloc for the twenty-nine head of yearliugs as he saw them at the Melbourne Stud just previous to their shipment to New York, but when they were put up for sale at Sheepshead Bav he would not have given $100 a head for them. Thomas Hughes, a well known owner and trainer, testified that he had examined the yearlings after their arrival at Sheepshead Bay. He described their condi_ tion, saying that as a result of the derailing of the cars the horses were in a similar condition to a person suffer- ing from nervous prostration. He Eaid they were abso- lutely worthless as race horses and that the knowledge of the experience the horses had been through made prospective purchasers at the 6ale suspicious that the horses had suffered internal injuries and were unfit for racing purposes. • The yearlings, according to the appraisement of ex- perts, were worth over $30 000 when slipped, and they brought only $8000 when placed on sale after the acci- dent. Colonel Barnes brought suit for $50,000 damages, with interest, making the total judgment asked about $52,000. Jackson's Napa Soda untangles the feet. April 29 1905] f&he greetav emir gpKfvt&xxxaxx Horses at Dixon. A correspondent of the Suisun Republican recently visited Dixon and wrote as follows about the horses in training there: IN MANNIE REAMS' STABLES. Among the horses in Mannie Reams' string- are the following: A handsome black gelding owned by Ray Bennett of Vacaville, which the latter had used as a road horse for two years prior to placing him in the trainer's hands. The horse is as spepdy as he is well bred. Last Friday he trotted a half-mile in 1:10}, making the second quarter in 0:34£. Mr. Bennett's gelding is a eon of Oro Belmont, by Oro Wilkes. His dam was Muscovia, the dam of Mamie R. He will be one of the contestants in the buggy horse race May Day Mr. Reams is working three horses owned by resi- dents of the Montezuma hills.two of them being three- year-old Demonios belonging to Horatio Muzzy and the other a bay mare five years old belonging to Julian Hoyt. One of the Muzzy colts is a brown stallion out of a Gossiper mare- After some prelimin- ary work at the Muzzy farm he was given into Mr. Reams' hands a little over two weeks ago. He paced a quarter in 38} seconds with perfect ease. The other Demonio colt is a sorrel gelding, a natural gaited pacer. His quarter was stepped in 40 seconds. While there was a difference of opinion expressed as to which is the better prospect, the spectators present all were of the opinioa that they both will develop extreme speed, and will add to the fame of their sire, Damonio. Mr. Hoyt purchased his mare two years ago at the Meek sale. She was bred at the Meek stock farm at Haywards. Her sire is William Harold by Sidney, and her dam by Richard's Elector. Mr Hoyt is not in the racing business and has no intention of entering the mare in any race, but she is certainly a fast one and one of the very best on the Dixon track. When taken there two months ago she was not gaited at all. With but a little more than a month's actual training ahe paced a quarter in 37 seconds. Mr. Reams has fourteen in his string, eight of which were sired by Demonio. The fastest is Miss Wynn, trial 2:12 She is owned by Rush & Haile and has been given only slow work thus far. They also own Memonio, who paced a mile last year in 2:28 as a two- year-old. Mr. Reams is getting this filly in fine shape for fast work. He Is also working the hay geldiDg, Ringrose, Emil Hollings' fast pacer, which was en- tered in the buggy-horse race He has already shown a half in 1:10 and can undoubtedly do a mile better than 2:20. Some of the others in Mr. Reams stables are his three-year-old mare, Gracie R., Ivanhoe, a green one, and a two-yei3r-old Dictatus colt owned by Horigan and Raams. The last named and Gracie R. will be seen in the races May Day. WALTER TREFRY STRING. There are eight in the stable of Walter Trefry, who is proving himself a good trainer. He has been working a road horse owned by William Pierce since the first of February and has him entered in the buggy race. Mr. Pierce purchased this animal at the Santa Rosa Stock Farm sale two years ago. He is a bay gelding named Antonio and is by Antone, a son ol Dexter Prince. His dam is Favor by Walstein. He paced a half mile in 1:09. Mr. Trefry is also working the bay gelding, Little Joe, by Diablo, dam May by Wildidle He has shown a half in 1:07| and is next to Miss Wynn in speed. The others in Mr. Trefy's string are, a fast bay mare by Don Marvin, owned by Al Robben; Henry Robben's two-year-old colt, Smiley by Bayswater Wilkes, entered in the two-year-old stake; Fred Hackman, a three-year-old; Falrose, a two-year-old Dictatus colt, both also owned by Henry Robben; August Fischer's four-year-old black gelding and George McCann, three-year-old by Falrose, both excellent prospects. OTHER TRACK NOTES. E. D. N Lehe, proprietor of the Dixon Electric Light Works, owns a fine looking bay filly, two years old by Zombro, dam by Reliance, which Is just being broken by Lou Matavia. She shows indications of speed. Mr Matavia is the owner of the handsome black stallion, Alton by Altamount, who has shown him a mile in 2:25 hitched to a road cart. A splendid cut cf Alton appeared on the front page of the Breeder and Sportsman two weeks ago. Two Dixon residents have horses in training at Pleasanton. One is Mona Wilkes, owned by James Marshal. She is by Demonio and worked a mile in 1904 at two years old in 2:17. The other one is a two- year-old Diablo filly owDed by Del Dudley. She is entered in the Futurity stake and is credited with having worked the fastest mile shown by a two-year- old at Pleasanton this year. Messrs. Dudley and Marshall visited Pleasanton two weeks ago. Among the visitors at the Dixon track last Friday to witness the workouts were Julian Hoyt and Hora- tio Muzzy of Birds Landing, Frank H. Clark of Elmira and George McLeod of San Francisco. Buffalo Stake Entries. The four early closing stakes of the Denver meeting received a flattering list of nominators. Horses in these stakes are not to be named until May 15th. Those who made nominations were the following: Stake No. 2, the Studebaker, $1000 for 2:20 trot- ters— E. A. Colburn, H. C.

Clark, Jr., Butte, Montana; Kuster & Irwin, Laramie, Wyo.; Entries for the early closing stakes at Buffalo were quite numerous. The $1000 stake for three-year-old trotters has ten entries, among them being W. A. Clark, Jr.'s bay filly Sally Lunn by Wiggins, and East View Farm's black colt The Phantom by Boreal now at the Pleasanton track. The 2:17 trot, purse $2000 has twenty-six entries. California is well represented in this purse, about one- third of those named being bred here. They are Getaway by Strathway, Swift B. by Stam B., Maud Maxine by Boodle, Miss Kinney by McKinney, Idyl- wild by McKinney, Danube by Direcbo, and Lady Zombro by Zombro. Helen Norte, the Del Norte mare bred and owned by Judge Brentz of Walla Walla is also entered in this race The ten thousand dollar purse for 2:10 class trotters has 24 high class horses named, the California bred ones being Nora McKinney, Who Is It, Mack Mack, Maud Maxine, Zephyr Bonnie Russell, Morosco and Mamie R., jnst a third of the entire list of those entered.

There was never a better bunch of 2:10 class trotters ever entered in a race. Eleven entries were made in the $1000 purse for three-year-old pacers, but there is not a California bred one in thelist. There are eighteen pacers named in the 2:18 class, purse $2000. Those from California are Capt. Derby, Bolivar and Albuta, three pretty fast ones. In the 2:08 pace are twenty-one entries, and it is a red hot bunch.

The new State law governing and regulating the running of -'benzine buggies" went into effect on the 22d of this month. The important feature of ths law is that it does away with prohibitive legisiation on the part of Boards of Supervisors of various counties. County officials may regulate the speed of automobiles, but except under stipulated rules any such legislation must apply to all vehicles and in no way can the limit of speed on public highways be made more than twenty miles an hour. Automobiles are permitted upon all public highways except such as are by law limited to horses and light carriages, but may be excluded from any cemetery. After April 22d owners must have a registration certificate from the Secretary of State, and registered number for care, for which a fee of $2 will be charged. Cars must be provided with two lamps carrying white light in front, which must be lighted at all times when running an hour after sunset and an hour before sunrise. These lamps must bear the number of the car in figures not less than one inch high. Cars must also have one rear lamp carrying a red light. Speed will be regulated as follows: Four miles an hour on approaching a dam, sharp curve, bridge or sharp descent and while on the same. Ten miles an hour in business sections of cities and towns where the houses average less than 100 feet apart for distances not less than one-quarter of a mile, provided suitable signs are placed by the authorities in such residence section. Fifteen miles an hour in incorporated cities and towns outside of business sections and sections where suitable signs are placed. Twenty miles an hour out- side of incorporated towns. Local authorities may limit the speed of automo- biles in public parks or on the parkways, but must in that event place signs at the entrance of such park o • or along such parkways indicating the speed per' mitted. In case of accident, drivers must come to a full stop and give the nameaod address of tbeownerof the car. Now, if one of the "benzine buggies" runs over you, by referring to the above you will know whether the thing was done legally or not. At a recent meeting of the Illinois-Towa Circuit, held at Sterling, 111., the following dates were claimed: Oregon, 111., August 22-25; Sterling, [11., August 29- September 1; Morrison, 111. September 5-S; De Witt, Iowa, September 12 15; Clinton, Iowa, September 19- 22. The following program was decided upon for each town in the entire circuit: 2:15 trot, 2:24 trot, 2:35 trot, 2:15 pace, 2:20 pace. 2:30 pace, all to be stake races; amount of purses to be $300. The towns com- prising this circuit are all close to each other, being from twelve to twenty miles apart Scott Hudson has added a three-year-old filly by Oratorio 2:13. from Flaxey, the dam of Audubon Boy 2:03.1 and Royal R.

A public park is being made of it by the visit all the principal training tracks in the State United States Government. All the stands and build- soliciting entries and booming things for the July ings are being demolished. The work of compiling a trotting horse register for New Zealand and Australia is being rapidly pushed forward by Fred Thomas of the New Zealand Eeferee Christ Church, New Zealnnd. Such a work has long been needed and it will be almost a copy of the style of Wallace's Register. Be sure and get your entries mailed in time. Los Angeles will give a second meeting In the fall with big attractions. The first mare to be bred to Hal B. 2:04J after his arrival in Oregon was Dictatress 2:08J. Andy McDowell won with a three-year-old at the meeting at Nice, Fn.nee, held last mouth. Cal Thompson of Concord has a Sid more filly that is showing considerably speed in her work. A sale of sixty head of heavy horses will be held at Fred H. Cha?e& Co.'s yard next Tuesday. Santa Rosa track is in fine shape for traiuing hortes and Frank Turner is proving a very popular manager. The State Fair program is the best in years There will he six days racing with not less than three har- ness races each day. - Races are to be beld at the Concord track May 1st. There will be two events in each of which quite a num- ber of locai horses are entered. Fourteen S1000 purses at Los Angeles will draw a big entry list. Entries close May 22i. Read the half- page advertisement in this issue. Chas. Laugenour, of Woodland, brought a pair of Alex Buttons to San Francisco last week and sold them for S5S7.50 the following day. E. D. Lehe of Dixon, is the owner of a fine bay filly, two years old, by Zombro 2:11, dam by Reliance, that is just being broken by Lou Mativia. James Butler recently purchased a green trotter by Jackdaw that is said to be a great prospect. Mr. Butler got the horse in Kansas for $1000. Who Is It 2:10J by Nutwood Wilkes, will be seen on the Grand Circuit this year, having been entered in the 810,000 stake for 2:10 trotters at Buffalo. One of the largest borse sale firms in New York City sold 2000 more horses during the first three months of 1905 than it did during the corresponding months of 1904. Take a day off and go up to the pretty little town of DixOD next Monday. There will be an auction sale of colts and fillies bv Demonio 2:11} and some good races in the afternoon. Attend the sale of standard bred yearlings from the Sulsuq Stock Farm to be held at Dixon on Monday next. There are fourteen head by Demonio 2:11} own brother to Diablo. Ben Kenney, who was so badly injured in a smash- up at Providence a year ago last fall, has thrown away his cane, although still slightly lame. He has a good stable in training at Louisville. Dr. McLaughlin of this city is the owner of a fine colt by Sidney Dillon out of a mare by Direct for which be claims the name Direct Dillon, a very apt cognomen. The colt was foaled this month. Bessie Norfolk, a daughter o' Norfolk owned by H. P. Smith of Oakland, has a handsome bay "filly by the McKinney stallion Montesol. The filly has four white feet and a star and is certainly not only handsomely marked but very well made, and if looks go for anything should bo a fast trotter. Miller sulkies recently. J. I. Sparrow is the Coast agent, 3156 Mission street, this city. The Eastern horsemen are all touting Ed Geers' horse Walter Direct as the winner of this year's Chamber of Commerce stake. If Col. Kirkpatrick's Albuta gets to Detroit in good shape howevei, Walter Direct will realize the fact that there has been a horse race before first money is awarded him. M J. Reams of Dixon is training two three-year-old Demonios belonging to Horatio Muzzy of Solano county, that are excellent prospects. One is a brown colt out of a Gossiper mare that has paced a quarter in 36 seconds with only three weeks work. The other is a sorrel gelding and has also shown quite fast at the pacing gait. At the meeting of the stockholders of the American Trotting Register Association held a short time ago in Chicago a large attendance was on hand. The con- dition of the association as announced by the officials was very satisfactory. F. E. Marsh, Chicago, was made a member of the executive committee and Will J. Davis, Chicago, of the directorate. At the second sale of saddlers held in New York at the American Horse Exchange by W.D.Grand for Harbison & Co , Kentucky, the highest price paid was SI 160. The average was nearly S500 for the lot of 20 head. The Louisville rallbirds are enthusiastic over the Dancourt jri 1 I ,.-m 2:09J, in W. B. McDon- ald's stable, and it is predicted that be will be one of the stars in the 2:10 trots down the line the coming summer. There is no doubt about Zombro being a great she. it are showing speed from Oregon to Los Angeles, and a big majority of them are trotters. Zomhro will make the entire season of 1905 at Los Angelee. The May Day celebration at Dixon next Monday will be worth attending. A fine racing program has been arrange! for the afternoon, and there will he an auction sah' in the forenoon, so horsemen will be well entertained. Willard Zibbell took a string of five trotters and pacers to San Jose last week and will prepare them for tho California circuit. He has some that will b" getting a portion of the money when distribu- tion day comes around. Princess of Monaco, the mare by the thoroughbred horse Meddler, and out of famous Nancy Har ; recently dropped a bay colt by Blngen 2:06) at Hill and D ile Farm. Princess of Monaco's two-year-old is a lillj by Peter the Great, and her yearling is also a Blly but by Blngen. The two-year-old is a very -ing trotter and trainer John Dickerson thinks it deal of her. If the purses for the July meeting at Los Angeles fill well, those offered for the November meeting there will be still more liberal. The Los Angeles Harness Horse Association intends doing everything in its power to make the opening meeting of the California circuit a success in every way, and it deserves the assistance of every person connected with harness horse affairs in any way. As a general thing drivers accept the situation philosophically when the red flag drops in their face at the end of a heat, but there are those who do enough cussing to start a team of balky mules when this thing happens It may assuage the feelings of those who get the flag this year if they are informed that Ed Geers got the flag no less than nine times last season, and did not make any roar about it either. A sale of a large number of horses trained for ladies' use is to be one of the features of the New York equine world this spring. So general has equestrian exercise become among the rich women of New York that all the dealers have orders for more ladies' mounts than they can procure. Theidea therefore struck a Western firm that it would be a paying strike to place on the market at one time a large number of well mannered horses "quiet in ladies' hands1' and no doubt ie en- tertained of the success of the venture. Walter Mastln, who recently removed his string of horses from Sacramento to Woodland, is training several that will be entered on the California circuit this year. Marvin Wilkes, that took a three-year- old record of 2:18 last year is growing into one of the grandest looking young stallions on the Coast, and will be bred to a limited Dumber of mares this year. Mr Mastin is working among others, Penrose 2:184, Daken D. 2:16} and three or four green ones by Knight, Daedalion and Falrosethat are excellent prospects. Word comes from the Barstow Stock Farm at San Jose that Nearest 2:228, own brother to John A. Mc- Kerron 2:04}, is doing well in the stud this year, and his get are showing as much speed as can be seen any- where. Alone 2:09} is in fine shape and Higbflv and Just It display two minute speed every time they are worked out. Pleasanton 2:30, by Richard 's Elector out of Belle Tanascon by Tarascon, died at Auckland, New Zeal- and, last month. His progeny are well thought of there. His sire, Richard's Elector, died at Grayson, California, about the same time Richard's Elector was the sire of a number of good horses and for tbe opportunities he had proved himself a worthy descend- ant of the immortal Electioneer. One of the handsomest weanling fillies in California is at W. A. Clark's farm near San Mateo. Its breeding is ultra fashionable, being sired by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16} out of Ruth Mary by Directum 2:05}; second dam Tuna 2:124 by Ethan Allen Jr. 473; third dam Fortuna by Almont; fourth dam Frances Breckenridge by Sentinel 280, etc. If there is anything that should warrant a youngs*er being a good one it is the excel- lent bloodlines and perfect conformation of thisfilly. The Sacramento Bee says in a recent issue: "Albert Lindley, Secretary of the State Agricultural Asso- ciation, is sending personal letters to stockmen, horse- men and exhibitors generally, calliDg attention to the fact that the State Fair is now a State institution in fact as well as in name, and will henceforth be con- ducted on a cash basis, there being ample funds with which to meet its obligations. He calls particular attention to the fact that the Fair Grounds will be entirely new, with handsome modern stables for the shelter of livestock." Dr. H. J. Ring of Ferndale, Humboldt county, is the owner of a very handsome five-year-old stallion that he has named Waldmore. He is by Waldstein, and out of Gempsy by Grand Moor, second dam by Rifleman, thoioughbred. He is a natural trotter, but was trained a little at the pace last season and entered in a race at the Ferndale fair, which he won as he pleased in slow time. He has paced eighths in 17 seconds. Waldmore stands 16 hands and weighs 1200 pounds. He will be put in training again in July this year and will probably be raced in trotting events. A stallion show is announced to take place at the San Jose race track on Saturday afternoon, May 6th, at 2 o'clock. Mr. Granger, the president of the new organization that has taken over the management of this track, states that stalls will be provided for all stallions brought to San Jose and shown in the parade. and that every thing will be done to make the show a success. There are many well bred trotting, thorough- bred, Percheron, Belgian, Clyde and coach stallions in Santa Clara and adjoining counties, and the invita- tion is extended to all owners to bring their horses and take part in the parade which will be held at 2 o'clock p. m. There is excellent pasturage at the Nutwood Stock Farm, Irvington, and the mares and colts are looking fat and slick as moles. Nutwood Wilkes 2:16} is in fine shape and has been bred to quite a number of fine mares already. The class of mares this great sire is getting improves with every year and he has not yet sired his fastest trotter, although his son John A. McKerron 2:04} is the fastest trotter of all the Wilkes tribe. There will yet come a trotter Irom the loins of Nutwood Wilkes that will trot in two minutes. Any horse that sires such a uniform high rate of speed as he does will get one two-minute trotter and perhaps more than one Petigru 2:10} has been sent back to Los Angeles. W. G. Durfee, who own6 this magnificent stalliOD, has two good reasons for closiDg his season at San Jose and taking him back to his Los Angeles home. In the first place he wants to train him for the 2:11 and faster classes of the California circuit, and in the second place there are quite a number- of breeders in the southern part of the State who have requested that Petigru be brought back that they might breed their mares to him. As C. H. Durfee has the three good stallions Coronado 2:12}, Almaden 2:22} and Galindo, he can spare Petigru from his striDg and the the change of program' will not inconvenience any- one. Petigru is certainly one of the grandest looking stallions ever seen in California and that he will sire extreme speed is certain. He will have some of the choicest mares in Southern California sent to him this year. As he is a perfectly sound horse in every way the chances are excellent for a reduction of Mb record this year, and his owner desires to give him as low a mark as possible before permanently retiring him.

APRIL 29, 1905 J ©tie gveebev anx> gtpctvtemtm 13 beetles (Elaterids and Tenebrionids) were apparently preferred to the long-horn beetles (Cerambycids). On one occasion a basin of water was placed in the cage containing several Carabids (Harpalus caligino- sus and H. pennsylvanicus), one Ctrambycid (Typo- ceru9 sinuatus), one potato beetle (Doryphora 10- linnata), anotber Chrysomelid (Chrysochrus auratus), one black cricket, one large hairy caterpillar, and a large milleped (Julus). The milleped was taken first, the Carabids next, and finally all the insects were eaten except the Chrysomelids and the cricket. Very large hard beetles, like Alaus oculatus, Hydro- pbilus triangularis, and Passalus cornutus, were not often touched, but in default of other insects were torn to pieces and the soft parts separated from the harder portions. Stink bugs (Pentatomids) seemed to be relished, but hairy caterpillars were only taken after most of the hair had been beaten off. Cocoons of a tussock moth were torn open to get the pupnj, and the large green warty caterpillars of the Ailan- thus moth were eaten but with no great relish. In several cases spiders were selected in preference to insects. Myriapods and earthworms were eateD less readily than sow bugs (Oniscus). The bird would eat corn and bprouted acorns, but did not seeo^ to care much for them. It ate apples, blackberries, and black raspberries, but rejected red raspberries, strawberries, mulberries, and elder- berries; it swallowed the pulp of grapes only after re- moving the skin and seeds, and also ate a little peach pulb, but without great relish. The most striking point in the study of the food of the blue jay is the discrepancy between the testimony of field observers concerning the bird's nest-robbing proclivities and the results of stomach examinations. The accusations of eating eggs and young birds are certainly not sustained, and it is futile to attempt to reconcile the conflicting statements on this points which must be left until more accurate observation, have been made. In destroying insects the jay un- doubtedly does much good. Most of the predaceous beetles which it eats do not feed on other insects to any great extent. On the other hand, it destroys some grasshoppers and caterpillars and many noxious beetles such as SearabaMds, click beetles (Elaterids). weevils (Curculionids), Buprestids, Chrysomelids, and Tenebrionids. The blue jay gathers its fruit from nature's orchard and vineyard, not from man's; corn is the only vegetable food for which the farmer suf- fers any lo b, and here the damage is small. In fact, the examination of nearly 300 stomachs showed that the blue jay certainly does more good than harm- three events, 200 targets each. At Omaha, March 20, 21 and 22, Mr. Gilbert scored 191, 192 and 197 out of a possible 200. At St. Joseph, Mo., on March 23, 24 and 25, Mr. Gilbert made three soores of 196 each out of a possible 200. Mr. Gilbert's run of 239 at Des Moines in two days is a remarkable performance and speaks volumes for the Parker gun. In the history of trap shooting, the score of 200 straight in a program event has only been made three times, and Mr. Gilbert holds credit for two of these. All of Mr. Gilbert's shooting has been done with the Parker gun, and he uses no other. Mr. R. E. Stout, of Magnolia, Dela., at the Dover Gun Club, March 27, broke 19 out of 20 singles, and 18 out of 20 doubles. Mr. Stout was high man and his shooting was done with the "Old Reliable" Parker gun. You should use no other. Tufts-Lyon medal, using TJ. M. C. "Magic" shells. Other tournament winners shooting brilliantly were D. Daniels, Char es Julian and R. Bungay, all using U. M. C. ammunition. TRADE NOTES. THEY DO WEL1 WITH IT. Fred Gilbert's performance at Des MoiLes, la., is certainly very creditable and a remarkable showing. For the three days, March 14, 15, and 16, Mr. Gilbert broke 192, 19^ and 200 straight, out of a program of TIME-TKIED U. M, C. LEADS. On Sunday, April 23d, at IngleBide, at the "old- time" shoot of the Lincoln Gun Club there were 33 shooters present, of whom 25 were users of U. M. C. "Magic,' "Majestic," "Acme," and "Monarch"shells. This showing is only proof of the fact that the present universal and unvarying popularity of U. M. C. pro- ducts is not of recent date, nor in any way a new matter, but is built on a foundation of reliability and accuracy, maintained over a long period of years. The shooters at this meeting were largely of the older fraternity, and are in no sense temporary users of U. M.C. goods, but simply find that the standing of this famous ammunition is and has been fully main- tained. In these days of keen competition, when even old and tried goods are found to fall below standards personally established, it is a matter of con- gratulation to see that the U. M. C. brand still stands for all it has represented in the past, and has kept steadily up-to-date in every minute detail which could make certainty more certain, accuracy and reliability more apparent. U. M. O. VICTORIOUS IN THE SOUTH. Sunday, April 23d, marked the closing of the most successful meeting ever held by the Los Angeles Gun Club, from the standpoint of the largest attendance ever recorded in Southern California. There were 64 contestants, and of this number 45 used TJ. M. C. "Magic," "Acme," "Majestic" and "Monarch" shells. This of itself is a showing which again emphasizes the value of these goods, which represent to all sportsmen, whether for use in the field or at the traps, a standard of perfection not equalled by any other shells before the shooting public. Emil Holling of San Francisco, using a Remington shotgun, was high average for professional shooters for the two days, his average being 91} per cent. Following this show- ing was the marvelous shooting of Louis Breer, Jr., of Los Angeles, who broke 80 straight, using TJ. M. C. "Magic" shells. Guy Lovelace was winner of the ANOTHER RUNAWAY RACE. The second annual tournament of the Rocklin Gun ' Club, held at Rocklin, California, on the 23d inst proved to be one of the largest shooting tournaments ever held in Northern California. As usual, shooters of Winchester products carried off the honors of the tournament. Of the eighty-six shooters contesting seventy-four shot Winchester shells, as follows- fiftv- two used the "Leader"and twenty-two the"Repeater" shells. Thirty-eight shot Winchester "nump"guns The Kimball-Upson Co. Trophy was cap'tured by f' J. Ruhstaller, on the splendid score of 20 straight with a Winchester "pump" gun and Winchester "Leader" shells. The Gibson Cup, 10 pairs, doubles was won by J. W. Humble, with 18 out of the possible 20, with a Smith gun and Winchester "header"shells The five man team trophy was won by the Oroville team, composed of Messrs. Godfrey, Derby Snyder Hansen and Johnson, 67 out of the possible' 75 Every man in this team, without a single exception, shot the Winchester make of shells, and in connection two used Winchester 'pump" guns. The only three straight Bcoresmadein the regular program events of the day, were made by shooters who shot Winchester shells, and two by shooters that used Winchester "pump" guns. F. J. Ruhstaller, 20 straight, "pump" and "Leaders '; W. H. Seaver, 20 straight, "pump" and 'Leaders and D. L. Gray, 20 straight, Smith and "Repeaters." High average of the tournament was made by J. W. Godfrey with a Smith gun and Win- chester "Repeater" shells. 106 out of the possible 120 After the close of the regular program events, the Rocklin Gun Club championship medal was shot bv members of the Rocklin Gun Club, and F. La Fond" with a score of 18 out of a possible 20, was the winner'. Mr. La Fond used a Smith gun and Winchester "Repeater" shells. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS OF WINCHESTER OUNS. We find Winchester repeating rifles and shotguns are being offered by certain of the trade, not customers of ours, at cut prices, and that such guns have been altered sinceleaving the factory, including the chang- ing and obliteration of the factory serial numbers. Not knowing to what further extent these arms have been tampered with, we take this opportunitv of advising the public in general that we assume no responsibility whatever connected with any such arms, and caution all buyers to see that the numbers have not been changed or obliterated. All genuine Winchester repeating rifles and shot- guns are numbered and all Winchester single shot rifles are numbered, except the models 1900, 1902, 1904 and thumb trigger model.

A somewhat unusual experiment was tried at the college (arm with two small herds of milch cows. One herd received a ration of barley-oats and oil meal d ried , while the other herd wa9 given a ration of bran and gluten feed wet. The cows, six in number, were fed for two periods of fourteen days each, and the ration was changed at about the end of the first period. On the ration fed wet, the cowb gave a daily yield of 114 pounds of milk, containing 3 88 per cent of fat, and the ration fed dry, a daily yield of 1-16J pounds of milk, testing 3:99 per cent of fat, showing an increased daily yield of butter fat in favor of dry feed. It is unfortunate that this test was not made with the same materials in both cases. It is generally believed among practical dairymen that gluten meal or feed is a better milk producer than oil meal, although the composition of the materials hardly explains the reason, hence the difference in the pro- duct may possibly be due to the differ- ence in material rather than to the mere fact of wetting the feed. you will have hens in winter when it pays well to have them. If the cow is not by nature a heavy and rich milker, all the balanced rations one can prepare will not make her such. So with the hen. She will only return for food and attention up to her original capacity. More and better green food supply and more meat, of some kind are wh t the hen needs for winter egg production. As to what ia enough green food, we would say all they will eat. Ab to the quantity of cut bone or meat, all you can afford to give them and hold a profit as against a possible egg yield of say three eggB per week per hen. Give them of animal food lesB than one- ! tenth of their whole ration of meat, and from this up to one-fifth of their whole I ration of meat as cost will permit. ^ — . Sponges. S.

The Union Gun Club shoot at live birds is the card for Ingleside tomorrow. Blue rock shooting by the Millwood Gun Club members will take place at Mill Valley Junction. The first annual tournament of the Santa Ana Gun Club was held on Tuesday and Wednesday. On the 23d inst. at Ingleside, there took place a unique and interesting shoot given under the auspices of the Lincoln Gun Club, wtiich, having practically ceased to exist as an organization, yet drew together many of its old time members. The first event was at 15 targets, known angles, un- known traps, one man up, Rose system. Event No. 2, 15 targets, knowa angles, unknown traps, guns held below the elbow, one man up. Event No. 3, mer- chandise shoot for men's prizes, 20 targets, straight bulkhead, squad shooting. Event No. 4, merchandise prizes lor ladies, 20 targets, squad shooting, Sergeant system. Weather conditions were not favorable to good shooting.

The Sacramento contingent who, wifcu their ladies numbering a partv of nearly 100, chartered a special train, and were headed by a "Reuben" band under the direction of James Contell, that at various times discoursed hilariously very startling and in- harmonious music On arrival at the grounds it was found that every comfort for the visitors had been provided. Albert Elkus was chosen President of tbe day, F, W. New- bert Shooting Master, and L. S. Upson Clerk of the TournameDt. Shooting was immediately commenced for the nine events and continued until dark. The winners in the various event9 were widely S3parated as to residence and honor6 were about evenly iivided. The principal winners were as follows: F. J. Ruhstaller of Sacramento won tbe Kimball- Upson Company trophy with 20 straight breaks. G. W. Gibson of Williams won the Northern California championship after shootiog off a tie with Herald and Godfrey. The Gibson trophy for doubles was won by J. W Humble of Sacramento with 18 out of 20 (10 pairs) shot at. J. W. Godfrey of Marysville won the high average with 106 out of 120. The medal for Rock- lin Gun Club members only was taken by F. La Fond with 18 out of 20. Oroville took the five-man team shoot at 15 targets per man with 67 breaks. In the first of tbe live bird events Ruhstaller: Gib- son, Troxel and H. Davis divider1 the money. The second event went to Ruhstaller, Gibson and Troxel; the third event was takeD by Walker and Gibson; the fourth by Walker and Troxel. The highest individual winner in any event of the day was J. N. Blair of Sacramento. In the merchan- dise events the prizes were so scattered that nearly every town in Northern California proved to be the home of a winner. When return train time came tbe Rocklin shooters gave the visitors a hearty farewell, and announced their intention of coming to the May SacramBn to tournament andshowingthe "legislators" bow to shoot. We regret to announce the passing away, this week, of Thomas N. Dunphy, President of the Vallejo Gun Club. Mr. Dunphy was a wholesouled sports- man and had been an enthusiastic moving spirit in tbe affairs of the Vallejo club. His early demise is mourned by a large circle of friends by whom he was greatly esteemed for many sterling qualities. The Santa Rosa Gun Club shoot last Sunday re- sulted in the following scores: Medal shoot, side pool — McCutchan broke 19 birds out of 25 at 20 yards; MaoGregor 14-25, 20 yards; Fehrman 19-28,18 yards; Hess 14-28,18 yards; Ed- monds 14-28, 18 yards; Morris, 18-30, 16 yard6; Mead 14-32, 14 yards; Young 26-30, 16 yards; Juilliard 15- 28, 18 yards. J. B McCutchan and P. Fehrman tied for the medal. McCutchan won on the shoot-off. Young madethe best score but being a non-member couldn't carry off the medal He won first money in the pool, McCutchan second and Morrow third. Pool shoot, 10 targets— McCutchan, 10-10; Hess, 8; MacGregor. 5; Young, 4; Edmonds, 4; Mead, 4; Mor- row, 8; Fehrman, 4. McCutchan, first money, Mor- row and Hess tied for second and shot off the tie, Hess won. Thirty target shoot— Fehrman 17; Hess 24; Mead 13. The regular monthly shoot of the Vallejo gun club was held last Sunday at the club's new grounds three miles above Vallejo. Twenty- five shooters turned out to try their luck at smashing the mu'd saucers and some remarkably good scores were made. Brown, Dr. Arnold and Clarke carried off the honors for the day, each breaking over eighty per cent. Among the vistors was C F. Harvey of this city representing the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. The scores in the club event at 25 targets were as follows: Brown 24, Dr. Arnold 22, Clarke 22, O'Hara 21. Coe 20, Hirschle 19, Harvey (birds only) 19, Drake 19, P. Magistrini 19, Wistcarver 19, S. Magistrini 18, Dr. Turner 18, Beveridge 18, Peabody 18, Rooney 16, Elias 15, FitzpatricK 15, Evans 12, Coronada 12, Shouse 9, Rose 9, Giant 9. In the merchandise event at 30 birds, Clarke was high gun breaking 27. The second annual shooting tournament held last Sunday at Rockland by the Rocklin Gun Club was in every way the most successful yet held in the interior of the State, outside of larger cities, in point of attend- ance and enthusiasm The whole of Rocklin's popu- lation turned out with a hearty welcome to all from abroad, and the ladies were brilliant in Easter clothing. The visitors came in goodly numbers and the entire district of Northern California was well represented by shooters from Folsom, Gridley, Marysville, Oroville, Williams, Auburn, Lincoln, Shingle Springs, Davis- Los Angeles Tournament. The Los Angeles Gun Club two-day eighteenth semi-annual blue rock tournament was a successful shoot and an enjoyable meeting for both contestants and spectators on the 22d and 23d ints. The first day's program consisted of fifteen events — ten 15 target races, entrance $1.50, $10 added, four moneys, Cnick system, two man team championship, 25 tai gets per man, teamentrauce $2 and the Tufts- Lyons medal race, 50 targets, $1 entrance. The second day's card called for nine 15 target races, a repeating shot gun prize race at 25 targets, entrance $2, the five man team championship race, 25 targets per man, t3am entrance $7 50 and the individual championship medal race at 50 targets, $1 entrance. The previous winners of the special races were: Individual championship medal — J. Gibson, score 49 out of 50 Tufts-Lyon Arms Co. medal — J Gibson, 47-50. Two man team championship — Miller and Walker, 44-50. Five man team championship — Miller, Orr, Ecker, Julian, Kolk, 108-125. The winners at this tournament were: High average, professional — E. Holling, San Fran- cisco, 91}%. High average, amateur — J. F. Gibson, Los Angeles, 90%, 279 out of 310. Tufts-Lyon medal-Guy Lovelace, Los Angeles, 43 out of 50. Individual championship medal— C. Walker, Santa Ana, 49 out of 50. Two man team cup— F. B. MU1b and O. O Orr, 45 out of 50, on shoot off. Five man team cup— Hagerman, Densel, Breer, Knight, Gilbert, 112 out of 125. High run — L. Breer, Jr., Los Angeles, 80 straight. Forty two shooters were on tbe firing line on Satur- day. Among the San Francisco sportsmen preseDt were: C. A. Haight, Emil Holling, R. C. Reed, H. T. Hoyt, D. Daniels and D W. Kiog, Jr. Among the veterans in attendance were: A. W. Brunei-, who not- withstanding having been out of the game for nearly five years, shot in great form. John Hauerwass and Jim Matfield also put up some good races. The aver- age of scores, as a rule, was excellent. In the fifteen target events there were a number of clean scores. Orr and Gilbert were the only perfect shooters in the first event, with Mills tbelonely occupant of the honor position in the second . The men were getting warmed up by the third, and fifteen straight were broken by Reed, Smith, Orr, J. Gibson and Mills. Tbe fourth was without a fifteen score, but Justins, Smith, Orr and Bungay came through in tbe next. Throughout the other 15 target events perfect scores were made by Densel. Davis, Justins, Orr (2), Bungay, J. GibsoD, Mills, Anderson, Parker and McCullough. The change from "expert" to Leggett trap proba- bly had something to do with some of the scores as there was a wide diversity in tbe angles thrown by the two machines. It is doubtful if forty-three ever won the Tufts-Lyon medal before, but the precedent was established by that capable youDg shot, Guy Lovelace, who again took the trophy with 20-23 R. Cecil Reed of San Francisco, barred as a manu- facturers'agent from the emoluments of the game, turned in the best score at 45 out of 50. Fred Mills has achieved the unique honor of win- ning the two-man team cup five times without ever seeing it. Roy Witman, of Oxnard, is believed to have the trophy, and probably will defend it as 60on as his business will permit. Mill's partner Saturday was Orr, and they scored 24 and 22, respectively, for a total of 46, tieing with Gibson and Lovelace, who had a brace of 23s for the same total. In the shoot-off, Mills and Orr bunched 22 and 23 for 45 against a pair of 21s by their opponents. After the first day's program had been shot out, an impromptu doubles event at six pairs was framed up and a heavy entry resulted. Holling, Reed and Daniels managed to break ten out of tbe dozen and cut up most of tbe proceeds; T. E Norton and several others piled up nine. An exhibition of machine-gun shooting with an automatic lead spray of the Brown- ing patent was quite a feature of the event. No less than twenty-five shooters entered for the big miss and out, and for a time it looked as if the birds would more than eat up the pot at 50 cents per, but after the second round, the barn began doing business, and a dozen consecutive breaks got the cash, Reed and Holling cutting up the pot. A jack- rabbit event closed the sport. On Sunday 50 shooters lined up in the different events — nine 15 target races and three special features. The bright individual work of the day seems to have been the performance of Louis Breer, Jr. Shooting with rare precision and centering bis birds splendidly, his run of eighty consecutive "kills" was the record breaker for a Los Angeles shoot. Almost without practice, borrowing one of Guy Lovelace's guns for the occasion, and shooting the first loads be could lay his hands upon — Selby factory loads — this sturdy young athelete overturned nearly every axiom of the trap-shooting game. Not in months had he fired at any sort of a flying mark. He set out in the morning with the fixed intention of winning high run for the tournament, and by no uncertain margin, either. Never once did he fall below thirteen in any of the average events, and after the medals were out of the way, he got himself together for a Garrison finish; began hitting 'em in the middle, and piled straight on top of straight until a string of eighty consecutive breaks had been scored. Partly over tbe Leggett machine; partly over the experts, the difference in traps made no difference to Breer. Had Mr. Breer shot through the tournament, he would have annexed high average in a canter, but being a busy man, Sunday was his only cbaDce to shine. He was several birds ahead of any of the rest on the day's scores; but big Jim Gibson who quit Saturday afternoon with a clean record of 90 per cent, duplicated his feat by exactly the same figures to a bird and took amateur honors for the two days with that average. Among the professionals who com- peted, Emil Holling of San Francisco, representing the California Powder Works, was the premier, scor- ing just 91J per cent — splendidly high-class work con- sidering the conditions climatic, atmospheric and otherwise. By no stretch of the imagination could these be construed as favorable on Sunday. A fitful breeze played havoc with tbe targets about noon, causing them to duck and veer in all manner of un- gaugeable angles and slants. Tbe best shots "went down tbe line" to their keen disgust, but hard feel- ings were not the remedy. Later on when the sky brightened the shooting became more regular and scores began to improve. Starting off with a straight score of twenty -five con- secutive breaks in the individual championship diamond medal shoot, Clyde Walker of Santa Ana dropped but one bird in his second string and wound up with the grand total of forty -nine out of a possible fifty for the trophy Even tbe crack agents of tbe powder companies were outclassed; D. W. King, Jr., punched out forty-eight and so did Bob Bungay, but a bad minute in his first twenty-five lost him two birds, a straight in the wind up failing to pull out against Walker's clever work. There was a hot lot after the diamond medal; Holling, Reed, Orr, Jim Gibson, all broke forty-seven for it, and tbe victory was anything but an empty honor in consequence. The five-man team shoot was the usual interesting race. Of the winners, Breer did the best shooting, missing but one of bis twenty five. Hogerman and Densel missed two and Knight and Gilbert fourapiece. Had it not been for Smith's unaccountable s 13 ©tte gveeiiev an& &ppxt&max\ [April 29, 1905 the team trophy would have gone to the club team comprised of Smith, Orr, Bungay, Lovelace and Gibson All the others outshot the winning five, but Smith's eighteen brought the total score down one Wow the winners. Gibson had twenty-five without , Lovelace lost only one and Orr and Bungay but two. Julian, Hip Justins, Daniels, Mead and Enelehart scored 110. In the special repeating shotgun shoot, Breer won the trombone hung up for a prize by scoring 24, giving Guy Lovelace and some of the rest a hotter pace than thev could comfortably follow. Owing to a large number of average prizes, every man who shot through the tournament was declared in on the cut, there being ten Jim Gibson finished first according to the figures, missing 31 out of 310 for 90 per cent Orr dropped 33 for second high average, beating Bob Bungay out by one bird. Bungay is one of the vounger marksmen who seems to be quite a "comer" and will bear watching in future shoots. Dan Daniels, Fred Mills and H. Mead finished next in order. Charlie Julian was along in the sixth notch °The tournament was unanimously voted by those present to beone of the most successful ever conducted bv the Los Angeles club. In view of the royal treat- ment extended to visiting shooters, the handling of every detail in a business-like manner and the fair and impartial methods governing the entire management of the shoot we predict an increased number of shoot- ers in attendance at future meetings. A pleasant social feature of the shoot was the formal winding up of the affair by a banquet, on Sunday evening, which the club tendered to visiting sports- men. .... - j j a- 3 Thirty two knights of the trigger wined and dined for two hours and then passed another sixty minutes in talking of the things they did, tht things they didn't and the things they should have done. President Samuel R. Smith presided as toastmaster. Everybody had to talk, and for a crowd that "wasn't public speakers" they did pretty well. Clarence Haight, Cecil Reed, Harry Hoyt and others, in happiest vein, were among the speakers on various topics. U. S. DeMoulin of Greenville, 111., told of Illinois game protective measures and their success. The following were present: Dan Daniels, E. Holling, W. A. Casson, H. A. Hoyt, R H. Bungay, Hip Justins, R.

The kind of caterpillars eaten is of more interest than the number. The jay apparently likes to take its food in large morsels, and as in the case of beetles, large larvse. like those of the humming-bird moths (Sphingidse), are selected whenever obtainable. In several cases a single specimen of these caterpillars more than two inches in length and nearly as large as one's finger was Bnugly coiled up in the stomach, almost filling the whole cavity. Eggs of insects were frequent, and those of the tent caterpillar moth (Clisiocampa americana) occurred in four cases. Dr J. A Allen has found these eggs in blue jay stomachs {Auk, XII, Oct., 1895, p. 383), and many years ago Dr. J". P. Kirtland called attention to the usefulness of this bird in destroy ing the larvas of the tent caterpillar {Atlantic Monthly, XXV, April, 1870, p. 482). Many of the smaller species of caterpillars were quite hairy, and others rough and warty, showing that this does not render them objectionable. Mr. E. H. Forbush credits the blue jay with eating great number of eggs, pupas and larvas of the gypsy moth, and he observed them carrying away the larvae, which are hairy caterpillars of considerable size, apparently to feed their young. (Rept. on Gypsy Moth, Mass. Board Agr., 1896, pp.214, 215.) Insects of several other orders were found in nearly every month, and in July and August amounted to a little more than 11 per cent. Hymenoptera were represented by wasps and a few ants. One stomach contained a specimen of the pigeon horntail iTremex columba),a vary injurious wood-bo-inginsect. Diptera, or flies, were found in only three stomachs. Hemiptera were represented by quite a number of stink bugs (Pentatomids), a few cicadas, and remains of coccids, or bark lice, which were found in two stomachs. Spiders occur frequently, myriapods occasionally, and snail shells were found in thirty-eight stomachs. As already stated, three-fourths of the blue jay's food consists of vegetable matter, which may be con- veniently arranged in several groups: (1) Grain, mast, and seeds; (2) fruit; and, (3) miscellaneous. Grain and mast — Corn, wheat, oats, buckwheat, acorns, chestnuts, beechnuts, hazelnuts, sumac, knot- weed, sorrel. Fruit and miscellaneous — Apples, strawberries, currants, blackberries, mulberries, blueberries, wild chorries, huckleberries, chokecherries, wild grapeB, service berries, elderberries, sour-gum berries, hawthorn, chokeberries, pokeberries, oak galls^ mushrooms, tubers. Grain is naturally one of the most important groups and may be considered first. Wheat, oats, and buck- wheat occur so seldom and in such small quantities (1.3 per cent of the whole food) that they may be dismissed with slight comment. Wheat was found in only eight stomachs, oats in two, and buckwheat in one. The wheat was eaten in July, August, and September; oats in March and July, and buckwheat in October. Corn was found in seventy-onestomachs, and aggregates 17.9 per cent of the food of the year. This is les6 than eaten by the crow (21 per cent) or by the crow blackbird (35 per cent). In January the amount consumed reached nearly 56 per cent. It is perhaps fair to add, however, that about one-third of the stomachs taken in that month were from birds shot at a corncrib when the ground wascovered with3 feet of snow. and do not fairly represent the food of the month. Corn was also found in considerable quanti- ties in February, April, May, and September. Under the term "mast" are grouped large seeds of trees and shrubs, such as acorns, chestnuts, beech- nuts, and others less conspicuous to the ordinary observer. Unlike corn, It formed a remarkably con stant element, and aggregated more than 42 per cent of the whole food of the year. It was found in 168 stomai'hs and varied from one-fourth to three-fourths of the total food in every month except July and August. The fact that it is eaten, not only in the late fall, winter, and early spring, when other food may be hard to obtain, but also throughout late spring, sum- mer, and early fall, when fruit, grain, and insects are abundant, would seem to show that it is preferred. The consumption of mast exceeds that of corn in every month except January, April, July, and August; but only a small amount of either is eaten in these last two months. The test as to whether corn is pre- ferred to mast would seem to be furnished by the record in October and November. It must be admitted that throughout most parts of the blue jay's rarge both corn and mast are equally access. bleduring these two months. Tbe cornfields are ripe for the harvest, and lie open and unprotected, where the birds can gather their fill without let or hindrance. The forests also furnish an incalculable quantity of acorns, chestnuts, chinquapins, and beechnuts, while tbe hedges and river banks teem with hazelnuts, and there seems no reason why the jays should not eat the food that they like. An examination of the stomachs will indicate best what they have actually eaten. Seventy-two stomachs taken in October show an average of over 64 per cent of mast, and eleven collected in November nearly 82 per cent, while the corn in each month aggregates only 1.1 and' 0.9 per cent, respectively. It seems scarcely possible to draw any other conclusion than that the blue jays prefer mast to corn, or indeed to any other vegetable food, for they eat the greatest amount at a time when fruit, grain, and other things are most abundant. The record for December shows that the taste for mast, far from being satisfied, has rather increased, and its maximum of almost 83 per cent; while only 10 per cent of corn has been taken instead of several other seeds and fruits which were eaten earlierin the season. It was the custom of the writer, at his home in Massa- chusetts, to bait the blue jaysin winter with chaff and corn in the manner already mentioned, and he observed that the birds patronized these feeding places only so long as the ground was completely covered with snow. No sooner did any considerable area of bare surface appear than the corn was dis- carded and no more birds were seen on the chaff until the earth was again covered with snow. The natural inference was that the jays found something on the bare ground, presumably mast which they preferred to corn. It is possible that this fondness for mast may affect the distribution of certain trees to some extent, A jay flying with a nut in its beak may drop it in mid- air or carry it away and perhaps store it for future use. Acorns and other nuts may be distributed in this way, and it is probable that many isolated oaks and chestnuts owe their origin to accidents of this kind. Jays show considerable taste in the choice of fruit. Apples were eaten only during January, February^ and March, and consequently were merely frozen fruit left on the trees to decay, which should be reckoned as refuse rather than food. In the month of March the consumption is greatest, amounting to more than 32 per cent. Fresh fruit is eaten to a slight extent in May, but the quantity increases rapidly in June, and attains more than 39 per cent in J uly, and then gradu- ally diminishes until it disappears entirely after October. The jay is often included with other birds in the charge of habitual stealing of cultivated fruit. Discarding apples which have no value, only four kinds of fruit are eaten which may be cultivated namely, strawberries, currants, blackberries, and mulberries. No cultivated cherries or grapes were found. Strawberries were found in three stomachs, currants in seven, blackberries in twenty-two, and mulberries in five. This certainly does not show great depreda- tions upon fruit, even supposing that all the fruit was cultivated ; but it is probable, especially in the case of blackberries, that much of it was wild. Other vegetable substances were not eaten exten- sively, but appear to have been taken merely in default of something better. It is worthy of notice that the Bumac seedstaten are those of the harmless staghorn (Rhus hirta) and smooth sumac (Rhus glabra). Jays do not eat the seeds of poison ivy (Rhus radicans) or poison sumac (Rhus vernix), and in this respect differ greatly from the crow, the crow black- bird, and some of the woodpeckers. These last, and probably many other birds, feed largely upon sumac seeds during the winte.-, and thereby help to dissemi- nate these disagreeable and harmful shrubs It seems a little singular that a bird so fond of hard seeds as the jay should not avail itself of this food, which is always accessible in the colder months, but it is fortu- nate that it does not eat the seeds of the poisonous species. Remains of galls which grow on oak leaves were found in twelve stomachs, and possibly were eaten for the sake of the larva1 which th6y contained. Fragments of mushrooms were identified in seven stomachs, mostly taken in April and October. The examination of stomach contents was supple- mented by experiments on a bird which had been in captivity but a few months and had no acquired tastes. In eating, this jay held its food on the perch usually with the right foot, but sometimes with both feet, and proceeded to tear it to pieces and devour it; hard substances, like kernels of corn and acorns, were repeatedly hammered with the beak after the manner of a woodpecker. It would eat dead mice to a certain extent, but did not appear tc be extravagantly fond of them; it seldom or never ate a whole one, and seemed to prefer the brains to apy other part. A live mouse was placed in the cage, but remained un- molested two days. The jay waB kept supplied with mocking-bird food, of which it ate freely, so that it was not hungry, and therefore selected only such other food as was appetizing. It ate most insects and preferred them to vegetable food. ItB preferences were not strongly marked, although grasshoppers seemed to be the favorite insects, and black crickets were refused. Among beetles, Scaraba?idB were rather preferred to Carablds or Tenebrionids, but all were eaten. Chrysomelids were generally rejected, and tbe potato beetle (Doryphora 10-lineata) was always refused; the same was true of the elm leaf-beetle (Galerucella luteola). but one 12 spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica 12-punctata) was eaten.

The name of MoKinney 2:11} appears these days a dozen times in every issue of every journal devoted to trotting horse matters, and his breeding and the performances of his get are the subject of columns of matter written and printed free of charge. But this does not stop Mr. Simpson, proprietor of the Empire City Farm, and the owner of McKinney, from spending money for advertising. He has inserted an advertisement of his farm and his great horse in every trotting horse paper in the country. Mr. Simpson is a suecessfal business who knows and acknowledges the value of printers ink. He owns the greatest sire of fast trotters that lives, a horse whose reputation is known wherever people live who drive trotters or breed them, but this does not prevent him from still further advertising him. He knows that advertising pays in the horse business as well as in any other line. THE DEATH of Mr. Ed Topham, of Milpitas, Santa Clara county, occurred two weekB ago from Bright's disease. Mr. Topham was one of the promi- nent farmers and horse breeders of California, and for several years held the position of President of the Santa Clara and San Mateo District Fair Association, during which time some of the most suceefsful fairs ever held in that district were given. He was an up- right, honorable gentleman whose death will be de- plored by all with whom he was acquainted. Want to Meet the Horsemen. LOS Angeles, Cal., May 3, 1904.

There were two thousand people at the Dixon half mile track, last Monday and had a heavy rain not set in during the afternoon, the best day's racing ever seen on the local track would have resulted. During the forenoon an auction was held of twelve yearlings and onetwo-year-old.all by Demonio2:llJ, consigned by the Suisun Stock Farm of Rush & Haile. All the youngsters reached Dixon in fine condition except a yearling out of a Nutwood Wilkes mare that was in- jured at the farm and not offered. The others were sold by W. G. Harris, the live stock auctioneer of Solano county, who conducted the sale in a very suc- cessful manner. The average for the thirteen head sold was very close to $160 each. A filly out of Venice by Gossiper brought $300, the top price, while the lowest figure was $102.50. A summary of the sale is bere given: 1— Sorrel filly, 1903, dam Mamie Comet 2:23} by Nutwood, M. J. Reams, Suisun; $130. 2— Bay filly, 1904, dam Rosebud by Fallis, M.J. Reams, Suisun; $120. 3— Bay colt, 1904, dam Sable De?v by Sable Wilkes, J. F.

After the sale, lunch was enjoyed by several hun- dred people who had come from a radius of forty miles to attend the sale and races, then the races were announced Mr. Horigan had the track in very good shape, but the rain made it very heavy after one heat had been decided. Although the rain fell in to-rent?, the crowd stayed to see the sport and enjoyed it much belter than the horses and drivers did. Del Dudley filled the position of Secretary in a most satisfactory manner and reported the gate receipts at close to $700. The first race was for named horses, and there were four starters, Ray Bennett's Ora Belmont, a trotter, and Frank Robbin's Ingo, Otis Wilbur's Sleepy Joe, and John Bauman's Antonius pacers. The first heat was decided before the rain began and was trotted in 1:09 by the winner Oro Belmont. The rain began falling and the track was a little sticky before word was given for the second heat, and grew worse as the rain continued The third heat of this race was hotly contested from start to finish and as the half mile was made in 1:11$ in the mud, the performance must be considered an excellent one for Mr. Bennett s gelding. In the two-year-old pace no effort was made to show speed with the colts as the slippery footing made it dangerous. Mr. H. B. Robben's Smiley by Bayswater Wilkes won in straight heats. The three-year-old trot and pace was not finished, Mannie Reams' Grace R. by Demonio and C. Mont- gomery's Chaser by Diablo dividing the money after each had won a heat- The summaries: Race for named horses, y2 miles heats, 3 in 5.

Those who were present at the May Day matinee meeting of the Los Angeles Driving Club, Monday, May 1st, at Agricultural Park witnessed the closest and most exciting racing of the season. Several heats were won by inches and excellent time was made. The first race was the 2:30 pace for the Berry cup, and this was won by J A. Falrchild's Bonnie Ailse in straight heats. The filly was driven by John H. Mott and was well handled in both heats. The first m'le was covered in 2:19 and the second in 2:20. Billy K., owned and driven by R, V. Cocke, was second in both heats, and P. B. Michel's Big Don took third place. The 2:30 trot for the Driving Club cup brought out only two horses. J. A.Cole's April Rose was scratched leaving J. Mitchell's Albuquerque and L. P. Kellar's Glennita in the going. Glennita broke badly at the start of the first heat, and A. W. Bruner, who was driving Albuquerque, pulled up to wait for the Kellar mare. Glennita came back to earth again and won the heat in 2:30}. Albuquerque led all the way in the second heat and won easily in 2:24. The third and deciding heat was won by Glennita, after breaking badly at the half. The 2:25 pace was won by Dr. William Dodge's Lohengrin, with A. J. Stewart's Admiral Dewey second. Bessie Barnes broke at the first turn in each heat and lost much ground. She paced the last half of the second heat in 1 :06, and was only beaten a head. She is by Zombro. Three heats were necessary to decide the race, the first of which went to Lohengrin, with Deivey coming up fast from behind. The Dodge horse broke at the half in the second mile, and was out of going there- after. Admiral Dewey won in a driving finish from E. E. Sherwood's Bennies Barue9. Lohengrin came back in the third heat and succeeding in beating Athaio off in the stretch. C. J. Cleveland's Virginia, ably driven by E. Delorey took the 2:20 pace in straight heats. The first mile was covered in 2:12, which was excellent time in the circumstances. W.A.Clark's Christobel, driven by A. W. Bruner, was good, but Virginia was too fasti L. J. Christopher's Zombretta by Zombro romped away with the 2:25 trot in straight heats. Mayor, another Zombro, cleverly handled by George Beckers, was always going, and made Zombretta step the sec- ond mile in 2:1 7} to win. Will Clark by Strathway was third.

One of the most promising young pacing mares in training at Pleasanton this spring is the four-year-old bay filly Centereye, owned by John O'Keefe, San Francisco, and in the training stable of Ben Cbaboya. She is a daughter of On Stanley 2:17J, out of the great broodmare Silver Eye (also dam of'Fram 2:17} and Ramon 2:17}) by Abbotsford 2:19}; grandam Princess by Henry Williamson. This mare has been in tbe hands of Mr. Chaboya but a few months and was not trained with the expectation of racing this season, but her work has been most satisfactory as she paced a mile in 2:16 the other morning with the last half in 1:05, last quarter in 32 seconds. She is a big strong mare as her picture on the front page would indicate, is level headed, wears only a light pair of quarter boots and if no ill fortune overtakes her will be well staked in good company next season. Columbus Entries. In the four early closing events offered by the Columbus, Ohio, Grand Circuit meeting the entry list is a good one, although not as large as at Buffalo or Read ville. The $10,000 stake for 2:19 class trotters has21 entries, among them the California bred horses Maud Maxine by Boodle, Lady Zombro by Zombro, Getaway by Strathway. and Danube by Direcho The 2:09 trot has fifteen entries. Those frrm this coast are Lisonjero 2:08} by Dexter Prince, Zephyr 2:11 by Zombrc, Mamie R. 2:15 J bv Son of Oro Wilkes, Morosco 2:12 by Wayland W.,and Nora McKinney 2:12J by McKinney. Albuta by Altivo, and Bolivar by Wayland W. ate the California representatives in the 2:18 class pace for which tbe purse is $5000 and there are twen'y entries. Walter Direct, Ed Geers' C. of C. candidate, is also named in this event. There are 26 fast ones named in the 2:08 class pac- ing purse of $2000. Oregon Maid 2:08J by Del Norte, Miss Georgie 2'llJ by McKinney, and Josie 2:16 are the Pacific Coast bred horses in this event. Down at Mr A. B. Spreckels' Aptos Stock Farm Sandy Smith is handling quite a number of young horses by Cupid 2:18 and Dexter Prince and can show a lot of speed for green horses on the beautiful little half mile track. He has sent three horses away from there during the past few months that are showing great speed The young stallion Cronjeby Cupid out of Hulda 2:08J is in W. G. Durfee's string at Los Angeles and recently trotted an easy halt in 1:07 with the last quarter in 32 seconds. The pacer by Cupid that is in James Thompson's string at Pleasanton is a whirlwind and a quarter in 30 seconds is tn her credit. The mare by Cupid outofa McKinney dam that Budd Doble is training has stepped a mile close to 2:10 and making speed at every workout. At the Aptos track Sandy has a three and a four-year-old, full brothers, that are as good prospects as any trotters in Cali- fornia. They are by Dexter Prince and are show horses as well as being very fast. (Tits gveeiret axvt> gtpxrrtsrocm [May 6, 190£ [|3SS3^S^«= JOTTINGS. TRACING LOST PEDIGREES is as fascinating work to a student of horse breeding as is digging in tbe sands of time to the Egyptologists who are searching to find re'ics of the Pbaroabs Just now the pedigree of Lou Dillon's grandam is being hunted 'or by several persons interested in such matters, and at least two of the Eastern horse journals, the Horse of Chicago and Horse Breeder of Boston, are devoting considerable space each week to the results of this research. Sam Gamble of this city is furnish- ing the result of his work to the Horse Breeder, while the H' is working on the lead furnished it by Mr. James Taylor of San Jose. After reading both sides one feels something like the old darkey down in Georgia who had been made a justice of the peace just after the war, and was relating an account of the trial of his first case. "When de witnesses fo' de State wuz testifying " said he, "I wuz sartin dey tole the truf, as dey wuz all nice folks that I knowed all my life, but when de witnesses fo' de defendant tole what dey knowed about it, I believed dem too, so I jes dismiss de ease fo' lak of jurisdikshun." That there were two mares brought to California from Wisconsin by Mr. Maxwell, that those mares were by Black Flying Cloud, that one was a chestnut with a strip in her face and one hind ankle white, has been established by good evidence. That Mr. Max- well told Mr. Taylor he had sold those mares to W. C. Ralston, is also pretty well established as Mr. Taylor is alive and so states. But so far none of the old horsemen here in California can remember such a sale nor can anyone remember a mare by Black Plying Cloud. That Mr. Kimball owned a chestnut mare of Nelson blood is also pretty well established. Sam Gamble has an old book in which there is a memoran- dum of a chestnut mare, strip in face and hind ankle white, owned by Kimball and listed for salealong with several others of which the descriptions are also given# This memorandum gives the mare's breeding as by Geo. M. Patchen, Jr., dam by John Nelson. There are several persons in San Francisco who remember this mare but 6ay that she was by John Nelson. Frank Malone is one of them. Mr. J. B. Hiokle, who knew Kimball well and rode behind the chestnut mare, is an- other, and say she was by Nelson and also says that Lou Dillon is very much like her in color, markings and conformation. That Mr. Kimball had a chestnut mare that had a strip in face and hind ankle white is certain. That she had Nelson blood in her veinB is probable. This is as far as the evidence goes. The Flying Cloud mare has not been traced with absolute certainty further than Mr. Maxwell. The Nelson mare has not been traced with any certainty further than Kimball. If some person who under- stood searching for evidence had the time and money necessary to make a systematic and exhaustive search in this case I do not doubt but much evidence could be found that might lead to the identification of Fly, the grandam of Lou Dillon. But it would require much time and considerable traveling, and so far no one has been found who is sufficiently interested to engage some reliable and intelligent person to do this work One can hear all sorts of tales from old horse- men, and in nioe cases out of ten the story-teller will be relating what he honestly believes to be the truth, but memory plays one false very often, especially when one has reached the age which Dr. Osier fixes as the time for retirement or chloroforming. I recently .heard two old drivers give an account of a race in which both participated ten years ago and neither agreed with the Year Book as to the heat winners although both were relating what they believed to be a truthful account of the race as it occurred. Many writers who have the reputation of possessing the most wonderful memories are shown to have made many mistakes in recounting past events when their stories are compared with the records, and it is very likely the same with horsemen who are called upon to tell of occurrences of twenty or thirty years ago. The person who would know the truth must listen to all the evidence and then make up his mind in accordance with those facts which are established beyond the possibility of a doubt, and all other conclusions should be labelled "said to be." Budd Doble worked Lou Dillon a mile in 2:l(j last the last half in 1:03 and the last quarter in 31 seconds. She was stepping along as If she enjoyed It all the time and during the last half Mr. Doble was trying all the timo to coax her back. Mr. C. A. Durfce who spent a few days at San Jose last week, tells me th? • Lou Dillon was cover in better shape than she Is no ? and as for manners she is so greatly improved t one would hardly recognize in her the willful miss of a year ago. Doble can jog her either way of the track, stop her anywhere and turn around or go ahead as he desires. The fact that he can work her miles at the trot in 2:30 is sufficient proof of her im- provement in manners. Thereisnota horseman in America but would rejoice to see Mr. Billings drive Lou Dillon a mile in better than two minutes without the aid of a wind shield.' I believe she could have beaten that time last year when just righ t, but several things happened to prevent, and among them was her lack of condition. Several turf writers are after "Volunteer" of the Horse Review for his expressed doubts as to there being sufficient evidence to bear out the theory of "saturation." "A Seeker after Truth," writing in the American Horse Breeder of April 25th says: "Cecil gives it as a rule of breeding that when a thoroughbred mare has once had foals by a common horse, no subsequent foals which she may have had by thoroughbred horses have ever evinced any pre- tentions to racing qualities." I will furnish "A Seeker after Truth" with one instance to disprove this state- ment of Cecil, which he can verify by writing to the breeder. The thoroughbred mare Lilly Wright, owned during her life by I. P. Diggs of Woodland, Yolo county, California, registered on page 567 volume 7 of the American Stud Book, was bred to a jack and produced a mule colt. In succeeding years she was bred to the thoroughbred horse Red Iron and pro- duced Diggs, Sutton, Arbaces, OUnthus and Diomed, all winners. If the saturation theory of Cecil is correct, Lilly Wright's ease must be an exception to the rule. I have heard of many instances where a mare bred to a jack would always throw "mulish" looking colts thereafter when bred to a horse but although quite a number of cases have comeundermy observation where farm mares were mated thus I have never yet seen one whose foals by a horse bore any resemblance to a mule. There may be something in telegony but much of the testimony supporting it is like that in regard to the appearance of ghosts — which when traced to its source generally runs up against someone suffering from fever or a bad case of indiges- tion. When a scientific theory is advanced its authors and adherents should not try to establish it on hearsay or said-to-be's. Any theory that does not have some actual provable facts to bear it out is not ready to launch. No better evidence that there is much interest in harness horse matters amongst the people who live in the vicinity of Dixon, Solano county, is wanted than the report of the May Day horse auction and race meeting which appears in another part of this paper. The gate receipts at the track were nearly $700, the admission being 50 cents for gentlemen and 25 cents for ladies. As the rain was falling heavily by noon, and the roads and track muddy before the races were called, northern Solano must be a horse community as over three hundred vehicles passed through the gates before two o'clock. Mr. C. D. Dudley, who is the Secretary of the association that gave the meet- ing, made a suggestion while in the office of the Breeder and Sportsman last Thursday which, in my opinion, is good eoo-igh for the people of that section to act on .mmediately. He suggests that Winters, where there is a mile track, and Dixon with its half mile track, act together and give two meetings ot two days each during a week of the California cir- cuit. The towns are only about eleven miles apart, with the very best of good level roads between them, and each town is large enough to stand a two days' trotting meeting, at which the crowds would be large. These meetings could be held during the week before the Woodland meeting, and purses from $300 to $500 would fill well and furnish excellent racing. I hope the horsemen of Winters and Dixon will take this matter up and arrange meetings as suggested. Both towns have prosperous farming communities about them with good railroad facilities and many small towns in close proximity to draw from, and besides they are located in horse breeding centers. A week divided between Winters and Dixon would be one of the most pleasant on the circuit. H. Jacob Brolliar Registers an Objection. Visalia, Cal., April 30, 1905. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The long looked for Los Angeles program is at hand and while it is a good one, I am at a loss to know why record colts morit such punishment as they received at their hands. I have another two-year-old to race and 6ince Stonelita 2:20 has been disqualified by reaEon of her record, although I have been at tbe expense of conditioning her, why should I start another to meet a like fate? If tbe winning of a race or even a single heat is a crime justifying such punishment we had better turn our colts out. Last fall at Hanford I was taken out of the sulky for alleged puiling of a race. A thousand advocates of honest racing almost denuded my bones of the flesh plucking at me for ti ps ihat they might rob the other fellow. Had I been left alone the race was at my mercy, but a "real stuff ' teamster (?) was substituted and as a result my filly dropped behind the flag, but for some reason, sympathy, shame or what not, God only knows, they placed me third in the summaries, levied and collected a fine and the association owes me to this daj for the third money allowed. Two days later they allowed me to start her again in the same field of horses and she chanced to be in better form and I had the satisfaction of pacing riDgs around them. Truly the way of the horseman is sometimes hard. Fined and expelled for not winning, or in the case of the Los Angeles Association, disqualified for winning. I can take defeat graciously and come up smiling, hut being turned down in this manner makes me feel really sad. I made the acquaintance of so many nice people last summer and long to meet them again, and too, when I compare the genteel, courteous and kindly treatment that I received at the hands of the officials on the big lings in comparison with the pumpkin show fair push, who perhaps never held a position higher than that of a country school trustee, provokes pity for their unbearable demeanor. Really, I have hope that our Los Angeles friends will yet make it possible for us to start such colts as Delilah 2:16J, Mono Wilkes 2:17£, Roberta 2:10J, Stonelita 2:20 and Highfly 2:24. There were other very high class two-year-olds last year that did not start and for that reason it looks that the aboved named colts should be allowed to start out of respect for past patronage, and viewed from this light, I have implicit faith that they will yet gather us into the fold at Los Angeles. Jacob Brolliar. The Breeding of Marchioness. Pacheco, April 30, 1905. Breeder and Sportsman:— In looking over some newspaper clippings of some years back I read an account of a yearling filly named Marchioness, owned by Lee Shaner. This article says "this precious year- ling is by Commodore (owned by Lee Shaner), a son of Valensin's Sidney, and is out of a mare by Dawn." My stallion, Sidmore, is also credited with a per- former named Marchioness. Now, what I wish to find out — which one of these stallions is the sire of Marchioness, or are there two mares with same name? This mare was sold at auction, at Killip & Co.'s sales- yards, Market street and Van Ness avenue. Would esteem as a favor any information you might be able to give me in regard to her. Yours truly, John Ott. There has been considerable of a mix-up in the Year Book and other records in regard to the breed- ing of Marchioness. This mare was foaled March 10, 1891, and bred by A. L. Whitney of Petaluma. She was sold as a yearling at Killip & Co.'s sale6yard, May 17. 1892, at the dispersal sale of the Whitney Farm, bringing $2000, Lee Shaner being the buyer. Her pedigree, as printed in the catalogue of the sale, is as follows: Sire, Commodore; dam, Kitty Irvington by Dawn 6407; second dam, Nelly Irvington by Irvington 379; third dam, Lady Allen by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 31; fourth dam, Old Peanuts by the Morse Horse. In this catalogue Commodore's breeding is given as fol- lows: Sire, Sidney 2:19|; dam, Brown Mare by Grand Moor 2374; second dam, Ethan Allen Jr. mare. He was foaled in 1888 and was doubtless the 6ire of Mar- chioness, as stated in Mr. Whitney's catalogue. The Year Book, however, gives Marchioness as by Sid- more 15072 (son of Sidney and a mare by Privateer); but that cannot be, as Sidmore 15072 was foaled in 1890, only one year before Marchioness was foaled. If your horse is Sidmoor 2:17|, he was also foaled in 1890 and, consequently, could not have sired Marchioness. Sidmoor 2:17} is by Sidney out of Mamie Harney by Grand Moor; second dam, Sarpy mare by Echo. We think that as Sidmoor 2:17J and Commodore were both by Sidney out of Grand Moor mares, their names were confounded by Mr. Shaner when he gave the pedigree of Marchioness. Commodore was sold East by Mr. Valensin in 1891 or 1892. "A chip off the old block" is Alex J. McKerron, the 22 year old son of Mr. John A. McKerron, the promi- nent harness maker of this city. McKerron senior was a braw lad in his young days and the son is fol- lowing in his footsteps. At the Olympic Club in this city last week a wrestlingtournament for the amateur championship of the Coast took place. Young Mc- Kerron entered in the 16S lb. class for light heavy- weights and was declared the champion. It took just five minutes and thirty seconds to decide the three bouts necessary to declare tbe winner and in one of them he put his opponent on the floor in just 20 seconds. The wrestling was catch as catch can and was first slass throughout. May 6, 1905] &h& gveebev axiii gtpijvtsman Grand Circuit Stars Go East. PLEASANTON, April 11 — A big caravan of Grand Circuit horBes left Pleasanton today and by the time this reaches the press nearly all of the trotters and pacers that have been burning up the track recently will be eating their oats on the cars somewhere in the Middle West. The shipments included all of the Butler horses in charge of Monroe Salisbury; Morosco 2:12 and Lady Zombro in care of P. W. Hodges; and the fast McKinney trotter, Mack Mack 2:124, in charge of Henry Helman, and if the recent work of some of this lot count for anything, a part of that big money down East will go to the horses that were trained at Pleasanton. Charley De Ryder left Pleas- anton for the East last week to attend to some business, but before he packed his grip he put the finishing touches on about all of his Grand Circuit prospects, bo a word about them should be of interest. The M. & M. candidates of the Butler stable have naturally been the center of attraction and as there are three of them, Mr. De Ryder expects to have at least one of them in good enough condition to buy a few tickets on, although it is a hard matter lo pick the best of the trio right at present. None of them have ever started for the money but all have worked in a pleasing way and any of them can shade 2:11 r'ght now. Fred Direct, the black gelding by Direet- Frederica by Harry Plummer, is a compactly made horse of a distinctive Direct type, although he is a remarkably ligbt-boned fellow and might not stand a gruelling campaign. He has shown up remarkably well in the work and was allowed to step a mile last week in 2:12 with the last half in 1:04 and the last quarter in 31 seconds. The chestnut mare, Helen Keys, is probably the "greenest" of the three and her education consists of only a very few months' work, but she is a product of the famous Santa Rosa Stock Farm and by Sidney Dillon, out of a Piedmont mare, and naturally great things are expected of her. She is a trim made, handsome chestnut mare with a very nice way of going and, as she has worked in 2:12J with a half in 1:044, can be expected to give a good account of herself. Danube has not worked as fast as the other two, his best mile being in 2:15}, but has shown that he is made of the right material and is considered a 2:10 trotter right now. This feJlow will be a good study for the pedigree sharps and is not by Direct or Director, as has been printed in the various entry lists, but is a son of Direcho, he being by Direct, dam by McKinney, grandam by Echo. The dam of Danube Is Clara W. by Director 2:17, grandam Belle Echo 2:20 by Echo, third dam the Titus mare by Williamson's Belmont, so it will be seen that he is closely inbred to both Director and Echo, with a little McKinney on the side. Of the other trotters in this stable the most admired and most talked of is the little bay mare, Mamie R, that took a three-year-old record of 2:15} and was purchased by Mr. Butler, this spring, from Mannie Reams. Her work, this spring, has been limited and her best mile was around 2:25 with a half in 1:10, but she is one of the nicest gaited trotters that ever wore harness, is perfectly mannered and i* known to have 2:08 speed, so she can be expected to give a good account of herself in the big stakes she ia entered in. I expect the Eastern scribes to be calling her the second Sweet Marie after they see her work. De Ryder haB been going along slow with Consuela S. 2:0"|, as sne aas shown signs of being a little dinky this spring, and none of the other trotters have done anything worthy of special mention. There are three pacers in the stable that should earn their oats this Bummer, and all of them have worked very well. Miss Josie2:16, the full sister to Billy Red 2:10 by Glenelg out of Bunella (also dam of Lady Red 2:16|) by In- graham, has turned the track in 2:09, with a half in 1:03 and a quarter in :30, and should do in high-class company. Alford C 2:12}, the big gelding by Long- worth, has not raced since 1902, but he has been burning up the track this spring, and has shown parts of road at a sensational clip, although his best mile has been in 2:09}. Ben F. 2:09} has worked in 2:10, with a half in 1:03} and a quarter in 30J seconds. There is another McKinney trotter going down the big line this year, and if nothing goes wrong he will Burely be doing business at the pay station. This one is Mack Mack 2:12}, referred to above, and in care of Henry Helman. He is a strongly made, eight-year- old, brown gelding, and is out of the Gen. McClellan mareNancy, damalsoof Bonner N. B. 2:17, Winchester 2:28 and Twilight 2:30. This fellow has been raced for the past four years in Idaho, California, Wash- ington and Oregon, and during this time has started in thirty-eight races, winning twenty-one of them, being second ten times and never out of the money. He is built to go all day, is levelheaded and knows the game thoroughly, and evidently has his speed with him this spring, as he trotted a workout mile the other day in 2:12}, half in 1:04, with the last quar- ter in 31 seconds. The big brown gelding Morosco 2:12 is a son of Wayland W.-Lady Moor by Grand Moor, is owned by I.N. Minor and is well staked down the Grand Cir- cuit where he will be raced by Mr. Hodges. He made his first appearance in good company last summer and made a very creditable showing, winning four races in six starts, and in the race at Santa Rosa in which he earned his record he beat Rita H., Little Babe, R. W. P., Lady Madison and two others in straight heats in 2:12^,2:124,2:12. Heis not struck with any remarkably fine points in his make-up, but. is a racy-looking gelding that has a Motionless way of getting over the ground, and works like he can do 2:10 right now. His best mile this year has been in 2:15} with the last end of it at a 2:08 clip. Lad y Zom- bro by Zombro, that will be a stable mate of Morosco, trotted to a record of 2:24} at Los Angeles in 1903, but was not raced last year. She is entered in the slow classes over East, and as she recently trotted a mile in 2:12}, with the last half in 1:024, will be worth remembering. James Thompson will take along a carload of trot- ters and pacers owned by Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick, and of course, the outfit will be headed by the consistent trotter John Caldwell 2:11} by Strathway and the bay pacer Albuta 2:24} by Altivo that is entered in the slow classes. John Caldwell is working better than ever this spring and has trotted an easy mile in 2:12J, with a quarter in 31} seconds. Albuta has not been asked to pace a very fast mile but worked a half the other morning in one minute and is considered a sure 2:05 pacer. A number of other horses will be shipped in a few days but none of them will hardly go farther than Denver where racing will commence June 17. Ben Chaboya will take the trotting gelding Major Cook that has worked in 2:15} and the pacer Rey Del Diablo 2:14} by Diablo 2:095 while Worth Ober will take Mr. Croner's pair of pacing mares Nance O'Neil 2:094 and Hattie Croner, trial 2:11}, by Bay Bird out of a sister to Flying Jib 2:04. All the other horseB in training at Pleasanton have had a chance to do plenty of work in the past month and many of them haye shown creditable work, among others being a mile in 2:15} by the handsome trotting stallion Wilmar by Wildnut for John Quinn; a mile in 2:15 by Edwin S. 2:08 for Fred Chad- bourne and a mile in 2:16, half in 1:0b by the four- year-old pacing filly Centereye by On Stanley owned by John O'Keefe and trained by Ben Chaboya. Blaine McMahan. They Trot in All Shapes. Olema, April 20, 1605. Ed. B. & S. — Peter Williams wrote me from San Lorenzo the other day inquiring about my Monterey filly Montjoy out of Lady Fallis by Rafael, he by Fallis out of Stockton Maid by Chieftain; Lady Fallis dam by Rustic. I wrote him that the filly was a bright bay 14 3 before and 14 2£>ehind, straight backed and big muscled. My friend Williams replied that he did not like the extra inch in height forward. As Montjoy is only two, her shape is not established by any means. If Monterey could see his daughter trot to halter beside a saddle horse, I imagine he'd wink hit eye at his master and say sotto voce: "Peter! I say Peter! they trot in all shapes. See me trot." Mr. WilliamB writes me that he and some other lovers of the light harness horse have just completed a half mile track on the country road between Hay- wards and San Leandro. He expected it would be ready to work on this week. Hurrah for the track and the men who made it! Long may the patter of feet Make the air smell sweet — The granger turn his head To watch the colt he bred Trot up the Haywards track Before his neighbor's blaok. What though the day be long The farmer hums this song: The horse is here to stay He works, he helps us play Beginning, unto end He is man's best friend Fill up your glasses Both lads and lassies As a matter of course We will drink to the horse. Information Wanted. the plains by teams, as the term used in early days. They had the following horses: Two iron gray stall- lions by Giles Ethan Allen; these horses were called Ethan and Messick. Also a large bay mare, breeding unknown; a pair of heavy draft horses; also a large bob-tailed horse that Mr. Maxwell kept for quarter racing and believed he called him Dutchman; a team of chestnut mares, Fly and Gypsy, which he drove to a single seat top buggy. Such knowledge might lead to further identity of the Maxwell chestnut mare Fly arriving to this city and State and sold to the late W. C. Ralston and now being claimed, by a few, that the mare Fly, Gypsy's mate, is the grandam of Lou Dillon 1:584,. If such a team of mares ever did arrive here and were sold to Mr. Ralston I am now confident that they can be located and proven beyond all doubts that there is a great error in the claim that Fly by Flying Cloud was in any way connected with the queen of all trotters, Lou Dillon 1:58}. Yours, S. Gamble. Death of Tommy Britton 2:06 1-2. Letters received last week frcm the American trainer, Andrew McDowell, now resident abroad, have brought the intelligence of the sudden death, from colic, of the famous trotting stallion Tommy Britton 2:064, who was exported to Austria about a year ago. Tommy Britton was a dark brown horse, foaled in 1893 and bred by Thomas Britton, Louisville, Ky., from whom he passed to Mr. J. B. McFerran, Jr., at an early age. His sire was Liberty Bell 2:24, an ex- tremely promising son of Bell Boy 2:19}, whose career, like his sire's was cut short by an early death. The dam of Tommy Britton was Keepsake by Pancoast 2:21|; grandam Dainty by Contractor; third dam the noted Nora Norman by Blackwood, all three of these matrons being in the "great" list. Britton showed Buch extreme speed from the first that he was brought out as a yearling, when he made a mile record of 2:34} and half mile record of 1:13J. As a two-year-old he trotted in 2:15}, breaking the world's record for a colt of that age in a race. He was in retirement at three, but at four reappeared and lowered bis record to 2:11}. At five, in the hands of E. F. Geera, he made a brilliant Grand Circuit campaign, scoring 2:09}. In the fall of that year he was purchased by Mr. Jere Allis, of Isinours, Minn., who placed him in the hands of the late George West of Chicago. His campaign the next year (1899) was most memor- able. He lowered his record to 2:08, and scored his greatest triumph at the Columbus Grand Circuit meeting, where, August 4, he beat Cresceus, Elloree and four others and lowered the world's record for three consecutive heats by a trotting stallion to 2:08}, 2:085, 2:08}. At Louisville, Ky., in the fall he also won a $3000 free-for-all stallion race, beating Charley Herr, Bingen and Monterey. His best record was made the next season (.1900) against time at Galesburg, 111., with West behind him. He had, in the interim, been purchased at auction by a syndicate of Chicago horse- men, including, among others, Messrs. F. S. Gorton and E. A. Lord. His turf career concluded with one lost race in 1901. As a whole it had included 35 races, of which he had won 22 and was but 4 times unplaced. He won 57 standard heats, of which 47 were below 2:15 and 20 below 2:10. His winnings in stakes and purses exceeded $20,000. In the fall of 1903 the Chicago syndicate sold him at auction, the purchaser beiDg Trainer W. J. Andrews, representing a patron never named, but popularly believed to be Mr. William 8:mpson. He thence passed to the Austrians in the Bpring of 1904. At the time his record was made Tommy Britton stood fourth in the list of the world's fastest trotting stallions, and beatill ranks sixth. As an individual it may be justly said that no stallion of his sped ever equaled him — in blood-like beauty and perfection of finish he was superb. While not a large horse, his action was so bold and pure as to make his appear- ance at two-minute Bpeed something never to be for- gotten. In the latter days of his turf career he be- came roguish and would not try — due without doubt to his long career and 'severe early training; despite which he retired sound. Had he been a sure foal getter it is improbable that he would ever have been allowed to leave the United States, but, most unfortu- nately, he was not. On this account and because of his extended turf labors he left few foals behind him. One of these was that game little trotting mare Fan- faron 2:114. — Horse Beview. • San Francisco, May 2, 1905. Breeder and Sportsman: — For the benefit of the trotting horse breeders of the worid, I would like to inquire of your readers if any person can recall to mind the following horses, said to have been imported to this State, either the last part of the year 1872 or forepart of the year 1873, by a man named William Maxwell of Waupun, Wis. This gentleman left that town and state some time in 1872 in company with Mr. Henry Meink and came to this State by traveling over Pimlico race track, at Baltimore, famous in turf history for more than a generation, was sold at auction recently under a court order to William P. Riggs, representing the Maryland Jockey Club, which was reorganized last Bummer. The purchase price was $70,000. Owing to the announcement thai the prop- erty would be offered in lots as well as in its entirety there has been fears that the track would go out of existence. These are set at rest by the re=ult of the sale, previous to which the property belonged to the Maryland Agricultural and Mechanical Association. 8 (Kite grccoev cinb ^povt&man [May 6, 1905 2*2 Los Angeles entries close May 22nd.

The meeting will open July 3d- They had another afternoon of matinee racing down at Phoenix, Arizona, last week. Two young Zolocks started and as usual finished in front. The Salinas racetrack has never in its history been in better condition for safe and fast work than the lessee, Charles Whitehead, has it now. Walter Chester is now a member of the American Horse Breeder's staff and his letters over his nom de plume of "Griffin" are as interesting as ever. An offer of $8000 was recently made by Dave Mc- Donald for the stallion Snyder McGregor 2:07J now in training at Memphis, but the offer was refused. A yearling colt by Todd 2:11J trotted an eighth in 17J seconds the other day. This is the fastest speed ever shown by a yearling in Kentucky so early in the season. Sweitzer 2:131 by Secretary is for sale at a very reasonable figure. He is a toppy fellow and can beat the majority of roadsters down the pike. See adver- tisement. Today winds up the racing season at Oakland track. The farewell handicap at two and one-fourth miles, for a purse of $1500 and a cup is the feature of the program. Morosco 2:12 is being entered all down the line on the Grand Circuit. He should give a good account of himself as he is an all day trotter and 2:10 will not stop him. Charlie Herr 2:07 is not making a season in the stud this year. Uncle Davy Cahill is preparing him for a campaign on the Grand Circuit. The old horse looks well and is going sound. It is reported tnat both the M. and M. and C. of C. Stakes will be changed to faster classes next season. The former will be moved down five seconds and the latter will be for 2:15 pacers.

The entry list of the Kentucky Futurity for mares that will produce foals in 1905 shows that developed mares are constantly becoming a greater factor in breeding operations. In the list of mares named in this great stake there are 302 that have records of 2:30 or better. Parties wishing good pasturage for their horses or broodmares should correspond with J. McCormaek, Rio Vista. He bas the best of green feed on his place until October. Horses can be shipped on the Sacra- mento boat — an easy, safe trip. Pasturage, three dollars per month. Horsemen are beginning to use the five-eighths track near Sixteenth street station, Oakland, for training purposes. During the winter this track was natively unused, but troUers and pacers are now to be seen there almost any morning, while the track is crowded on Sundays. Mr. Rudolph Spreckels' fast pacing mare Annie Rooney2:17 by Strathway, dam by Gen. McClellan 144, second dam Bette H. by the thoroughbred horse Langford, is the mother of a very handsome yearling colt by Bonnie Direct 2:05J and has a fine colt at foot by Sidney Dillon. From the appearance of these two foals Annie Rooney is a great success as a broodmare. A half tone engraving of the colt Rey del Valle by Rey Direct, bred by Geo. Davis of Pleasanton, but now owned by David Lee of New York, is printed on the front page of last week's American Sportsman of Cleveland, and shows him to be a fine looker and a Rey Direct all over. He paced a trial of 2:06| laBt year and will be entered through the Grand Circuit in 1906. Write to George Ramage at Pleasanton about that colt Mahdeen that he is working. Mahdeen is only a two-year-old, but be is a trotter and a great prospect entered in nearly $60,000 worth of stakes. The colt is for sale. He is owned by Mr. H. B. Needham, whose advertisement can be found in our business pages this week. Mahdeen is by a son of McKinney and his dam is by a son of Director. J. B Iverson, of Salinas, is the proud possessor of a fine Searchlight foal, a brown colt with star and two white hind ankles, foaled April 28th, says the Salinas Journal. The dam is by Prince Neerly, a half brother to Prince Gift 2:12, out of Salinas Belle, the dam of Dictatress 2:08f. The youngster is entered in the $7000 Breeders' Futurity, and like its sire and dam knows nothing but pace. The very fast stallion Potrero 2:21 by Redondo will make a season at Eureka, Humboldt county this year, having been shipped there last week by P. W. Hodges. Potrero is a standard and registered horse, sired by Redondo, son of Stamboul, and out of Minnie by Junio, son of Electioneer, second dam by Capt. Kohl 12,966, son of Whipples Hambletoniar, out of that old-time broodmare Lady Livingstone, by Gen. Taylor, the dam of Lady Blanchard 2:26J and of the stallions Whippleton and Western. Word comes from Los Angeles that W. C. Durfee worked Mr. A. B. Spreckels' trotter Cronje an easy half In 1:07 with the last quarter in 32 seconds last week. Cronje Is by Cupid 2:18 (own brother to Sidpey Dillon)dam Hulda2:081 byGuy Wilkes 2:15L Hulda'B three year-old-filly by Dexter Prince is being worked at the Aptos Farm by Sanfly Smith and is showing a high rate of speed. The new speedway and athletic grounds in Golden Gate Park Is beginning to assume shape. A steam engine bas been installed, by which a long steel cable to which large scrapers are attached, is operated, and the work of grading down the sand hills and filling the depressions is rapidly go'ng forward. The Park Commissioners propose pushing the work and there is a probability of the track being finished before the fall rains set in. It is reported from Keptucky that owners of trot- ting-bred mares are" having poor luck with the foals this year. Not only are the mares late but quite a few of them, according to report, have lost their foals prematurely and others are so thin and weak that they give little or no milk. The reason for this latter condition is said to be the meagerness of the winter pasture caused by the drouth of last summer and fall which also operated to curtail the supply of forage that was put up. Los Angeles is to have a speedway a mile and an eighth long and 100 feet wide. It will be straight away located on Alhambra avenue. The Los Angeles Street Department has laid out $10,000 in grading and beautifying the drive and $3000 more will finish if. The Los Angeles Driving Club has planned to erect an arch at each end of the course. Suitable seats will be erected along the sides of the Bpeedway where spectators can view the sport with' comfort. Annual speedway parades will be held. Attention Is calied to the bargains in harness, blankets, etc, offered by the firm of J. O'Kane In our advertising columrs thiB week.

Among the entries in Breeders Futurity No. 3, to trot or pace as two-year-olds this year, was May Logan, a full sister to Sir Albert S 2:033, owned by Mr. E. A Mclnerny of Honolulu. Mr. Mclnerny made payment of $10 on this filly, bis letter containing the money hearing the Honolulu postmark of March 29th, one day befoie payment was due. Theletterdid not reach Secretary Kelley, bowover, until April 8tb, the day on which the list of those making the pay- ment was printed in the Breeder and Sportsman, consequently Miiy Logan's name did not appear In the list, although it was entitled to a place there. Orange County Driving Club. Nearly two thousand people turned out to see the May Day horse show and matinee of the Orange County Driving Club at the Santa Ana track, and the meet was pronounced one of the most successful ever held in southern California. In the horse show there were seven entries and the three prizes went to Corinne driven by I. Bulas, The Kid driven by Dr. Lord and Dandy driven by Mrs. Mary Newman. Class A, pacing race was first called with four starters, and in this, Prince, owned by S. T. McNeill, was first in straight heats in 2:27J and 2:29. Other starters in the race were Avalo, owned and driven by Fred Culver, Lee, owned and driven by Carlyle and Birdie Mac, owned by Sextcn. Class B trot, brought out Albert owned and driven by City Treasurer H. Connell, and Olga, driven by Wearne. Albert acted badly at the start and lost so much ground that Olga had an easy thing of it, and finished first in 2:36. The next heat, however, Albert negotiated the distance in 2:331, a good two lengths ahead of the mare. The third and deciding heat was annexed by Albert after a bad start in which the brown mare got a lead of two city blocks, but the Neernut geiding came Btrong at the turn into the stretch and beat the mare out by over a length. Time for this heat was 2:30. Class B pace was the next on the card, and in this race there were four starters. Prince Royal, a Lob Angeles horse; Deacon, a youngster owned by O. W. Mowers; Laura B, owned and driven by J. W. Blee and Baldy, owned and driven by George Moesser. Laura B is by Redcloak from a McKinney mare, and her license to enter the race horse class was amply demonstrated by her fine performance. She moveB like a machine, is level headed and has speed to burn. Incidentally it might be mentioned that this fame J. Willis Blee is no slouch of a driver and gave evi- dence of being a master mechanic in this line as well as in others. Prince Royal looked like a winner in the preliminary scoring, but he was rattled before the start and never had a look in, Laura B won handily in straight heats in 2:251 and 2:24. There were three entries for the claES A trot, but one was scratched, leaving Flasb, owned by G. B. Chandler and McKinney. owned by Wagner of Ful- lerton to compete for the purse. It was a pretty race all the way through, but the brown mare had too much speed for the Fullerton horse and won handily. Time 2:27 and2:24J. Class C trot was filled by five starters, and the field consisted of Beauty, owned by Tiffany of Orange; Queen owned by Parker of Orange; Wenja, owned by Ernest Madden of Santa Ana; Cresceus, owned by Devinney; Fuller, owned by Nicolas of Fullerton and an unknown, owned by another Fullerton resident named Ortega. This race was won quite handily by the Nicolas entry. Wenja had more speed than Fuller, but tired after the half. Time, 2:36£. A handsome silver cup was presented to Wagner, of Fullerton, by the club as the winner of three races during the first year of the club's existence and a gold locket and charm was also presented to Secretary Madden of the Driving Club, the presentation speeches in both cases being made by Dr. R. A. Lord. The meeting closed shortly after 5 o'clock and the big crowd dispe-sed in most orderly manner and on all sides was heard the expression of opinion that the meeting was the best since the days of Silkwood. Raced in the Mud at Concord. The May Day races at Concord had quite a damper put on them by the weather god. It began raining at 12:30 and by 2 o'clock, the time set for the races to begin, the track was a sea of mud. By consent of all concorned, the road race and the matinee race were out from three in five to two in three and the free-for- all and running race were declared off. In spite of the downpour which continued through the after- noon, about 250 people were in attendance, and nice weather would have brought out a crowd three times as large. The meeting was given by W. S. Clark, lessee of the track. Messrs. Walker, Perry and Wil- liams acted as judges, and C. F. Day, of Alameda, who has his stallion Dictatus at Concord, acted as Btarter. The first race for local road horses was won by Dick McGinty. Birdie D. won the first heat in a drive, and Ken o Wilkes took the third heat after McGinty had made a tired break. The second race was won in good styie by Mr. Fleming's Pilot. Kilgore's Crimp was a good second, and Dunham's Flyaway showed lots of speed and might have won had the track been good. Flyaway is by Comet Wilkes and worked a half in l:10j and a mile in 2:28. Crimp is by Abhotsford, Jr., and has worked a half in 1:13.

The catalogue of the Calais Stock Farm, the home of Nancy Hanks 2:04, the world's fastest trotting broodmare, ha9 been received. It is handsomely printed and one of the most complete farm catalogues issued this year. The compilations were made by Arthur Caton Thomas and show much research. The stallionB at Calias Stock Farm are Lord Roberts, Baron Sllver,Oakley Baron and The Sovereign. There are fifty high bred broodmares The catalogue is an evidence of the progresslveness of Mr. J. M.

The second meet of the San Bernardino County Driving Club, held on May 1st, was a grand success in number of entries and attendance; no less than 5000 people gathered at the Association park to wit- ness the contests for the six valuable trophies to be raced for. The free-for-all trot did not fill, there being only one horse, Early Bird (owned by Dr. I. W. Hozelett) in condition to race; this game mare and her valiant owner, by his request, was permitted to race with the free-for-all pacers in a perfect gale of wind and dust; the first heat was won by Willit, a very high class son of Silkwood, driven by his owner, Alex M. Wilson, Secretary of the;Riverside Driving Club; time, 2:18}, with Early Bird lapping. The second heat was a repetition of the first, time 2:20; Norda, the good pacer by Mercury, only started to fill. Three-minute class, trotting, with four entries, had three starters, Widow Machree by Silkwood, Thurza by Zolock and Ben Z. by Zolock; Ben Z. won first heat, time 2:51; second and third heats won by Widow Machree with her daughter Thurza second, time 2:53 and 3.00. The one-mile dash, 2:40 pacers, wilh four entries, had three starters, Fernwood by Silkwood, owned and driven by her owner, F. E Binder, Presi- kent of the Riverside Driving Club, won; time, 2:29. This dash was stoutly contested by as game a horse and her driver, Mr. E. D.Roberts, as ever rode the circle. Mr. Roberts will go to Riverside on their next meet and give ■ Blind Bridles on Horses. While there is much difference of opinion with reference to the necessity for using blind bridles on horses, the reasons why they should not be used would seem to overbalance reasons the opposite. Some good authorities argue in favor of their use, while others equally good argue that they are not only unnecessary but positively detrimental. The argument more commonly advanced favoring the use of blind bridles claims that they tend to prevent horses from frightening at objects which would other- wise be seen by them and at which they would not become frightened. There is, of course, a measure of truth in the argument but it is at least questionable if horses do not take fright more frequently from the noise made by objects which they cannot see than by objects which come into view. Take, for instance, the automobile. The danger would seem to be greater from such a vehicle coming up behind and passing it on the highway when not in sight than if the horse had been permitted to see it. If horses were accustomed to the sight were to be- come frightened while they are young, they would earn in time to lose that fear, and, therefore, could be safely driven when meeting such objects or when overtaken by them without the necessity of hiding the same from their vision. Some have claimed that horses drive better when the eyes are hidden. They argue that the horse which may have learned to shirk will go at a better gait when he cannot see the motion of the whip in the hand of the driver. We do not think there is much of an argument in this claim. The horse that is in- clined to shirk will shirk with or without blinds and if be can see the motion of the whip in the hand of the driver will oftentimes improve his gait without it being necessary to have the same laid upon him. The World's Horse Supply. In the paper read at the Royal United Servic Institution, on the supply of horses in wartime, Major J. Monro, of the British army veterinary department, said that it was estimated that the supply of the world was about eighty millions of horses. Europe there were forty millions, in North and South America twenty-five millions, in Asia eleven millions, in Austra- lasia two millions, and in Africa one million and a quarter. Great attention was paid to breeding by the government of Russia, with its supply of twenty-three millions of horses. Germany had 4,183,000 borEes, and it was essentially an irr porting country. France, with 2,900,000 and Algeria, 205,000 horses, required all the animals they possessed. In Austria-Hungary, there were 4,020,000 horses, 99 per cent of them being bred by the peasants. At the present time there is a great exportation of American horses to Canada while the exportation to the United Kingdom had fallen off. In the British empire as a whole there were only eight millions of horses. There was a short- age in the colonial 6upply, and he suggested that encouragement should be given to horse-breeding in the colonies, so that more custom might be given to them, instead of having to go to foreign countries in time of need. In his judgment, also, South Africa would in time become a great field for horse-breeding operations, because a good foundation stock had now been laid, though the subsequent breeding operations would need careful supervision. For the homesupply of the army, 20,000 horses were registered to meet immediate requirements on mobilization. Horsemen Recommend Caustic Balsam. Dallas. Texas, Dec. 6, 1904. The Lawrence-Williams Co., Cleveland, O : Your letter at hand and it calls to mind when I got Mr. Greiner to order the first bottle 01 Gombault's Caustic Balsam. Then I got him to handle it, as I spoke so highly of it, after I had used it. I had a talk the other day with a horseman friend of mine, and he asked me which blister I used most. I told him, as I would any one that Gombault's Caustic Balsam was the best I bad ever tried, and when I say that I am not throwing any roses. W. U. Jones. May 6, 1905] ®he gveebev axxS gtpovt&nxati TOZER'S TURF TALK. The race-meeting which began last November at Emeryville end9 this afternoon in a blaze of financial glory. That twenty-three bookmakers should be doing business In the big ring at the wind-up of a six- months' session is truly phenomenal, considering the population the C. J. C. has to draw upon. It again emphasizes the fact that the people of this section are racing-mad and that they patronize all sorts of games mo9t enthusiastically and liberally. There are no better sports in the world than the people that make their home by the sunset sea. The race-meeting, when dissected, discloses a decided lack of form in so many cases that the wonder is the dope students did not tear down the judges' stand and handle the officials roughly for their failure to bring the dis- honest owners and trainers that operated hereabouts to the bar of turf justice. In marked contrast to most meetings, however, the runniDg became more formful as the time for closing drew near. The fields have been larger this season than ever, the betting has been good from beginning to end, and the laurels of war rest not upon the brows of the bookies or the general public. They have gone to a few owners who seemed to bet on the right ones with wonderful pre- cision, the winners they played being for the most part at prices ranging from 4 to 8 to 1. This is tbe story of r-he penciler, who has seen his coin transferred in chunks from his till to the pockets of the "wise." Joe Harlan at last accounts was $34,000 to the bad; Joe Rose close to $30,000, Bill Jackman, 120,000; the Cartwright books, over $20,000; while other pencilers have harrowing tales to tell of losses ranging from $5000 to $12,000. The Oakland Club folks are well ahead on the season, lam told ; Dave Honeyman made something like $10,000, while three or four others have their balance on the right side of the ledger to the extent of $2000 to $8000. The N. C. J. C. has made a lot of money, and stockholders will draw magnificent dividends. More vigilant officials would have caught many a turf robber red-handed this season, made an example, and cleared the atmosphere mightily. The "form reversals" that took place at Emeryville were simply amazing to anyone knowing anything of that sort of thing, and while the public which accorded such magnificent support to the rac- ing waited patiently for "something to drop," they almost invariably waited in vain. There were a few punishments meted out, but generally the offender was "white-washed" and allowed to continue in this, the wrong game for him, for he was fully equipped to cast the deeds of Claude du Val and Jack Sheppard in deepest shade, judging by the utter lack of fear of the dispensers of justice which he displayed upon the racetrack. Father Catcham has clinched his claim to the two- year-old championship by winning five good races in rapid succession, his victories for the most part being of the run-away-and-hide description. He is a good" looking bay colt by Candleblack (a son of imp. Candle- mas, I believe) out of Panquita by Tehachipi. Candle" black was a pretty good race horse, while Candlemas his sire (an own brother to St. Blaise), begot Irish Lad and many other good race horses. trick, but the Hammond course is the only available one at present. Cella, of Cella, Adler & Tilles, is trying to secure a controlling interest in the new Elm Ridge track at Kansas City, in which Ed Corrigan has an interest of $130,000. It appears that Barney Schreiberis "stand- ing in" with Cella, and with his stock and that of several who are not friendly to Mr. Corrigan, the member of the firm whose methods called down the wrath of Gov. Folk may succeed in securing the Interest he desired. Schrieber makes a big mistake in casting his lot with the W. J. C, or racing trust of the Middle West, and why he should "go back" on his many years' friend, Ed Corrigan, is one of the wonders of turfdom. Ralph H. Tozee. The Horse for the Farmer to Raise. Sonfriere again defeated Honiton last Wednesday at a mile and a furlong, the distance being run in 1:53J over a track a trifle slow. The Ormonde mare has had lots of racing of late, and it is thought she is just a trifle stale. Possart's win on the same day was a notable one. Falling to his knees after they had gone less than a furlong and cut off a couple of times, he came on in the homestretch and won like a horse of considerable "class." Lucrece, recently sold at auction by W. O'B. Macdonough for $1250, won a most ex- cellent race for her new owner, Jimmy Coffey, at the first time of asking, which was last Wednesday. Collector Jessup has now rounded into the grand foim he displayed last year around New York, winning good races on Monday and Tuesday of this week, and Cloudlight, heavily backed, won an exceedingly game race on Tuesday from a very fair field. Lily Golding, as good as 25 to 1 in the betting, was the surprise of last Monday, and adds another winner to imp. Kismet's already very respectable list. CircuB won his first race in two years on Tuesday in impres- sive style. He has been a good race horBe, but his underpinning would scare a surgeon. It seems that John Condon has not so much the better of Corrigan and his friendB in Indiana after all, for his Roby plant will almost have to be rebuilt and the Sheffield track has gone off the map, I am told. He can, under the law, race but fifteen days continu- ously on any track in the Hoosier State, from April loth to November 15th, and there must be thirty day6n in between one of these fifteen-day meetings. How- ever, if he had three tracks ready he could work the An interesting bulletin has been published by the University of Illinois, Urbana, on the market classes of horses. We quote from it on the description and qualities of the draft horse. It says that there is one standard use for draft horses, and that is to haul enormous loads at the walk only. Strength is the one consideration in the draft horse, and, broadly speak- ing, weight is the principal element. If, however, the mechanism of the horse is to endure the strain he must have a strong hind leg, especially at the hock, heavy loin with short coupling and a strong front leg and dec se hoof because so large a proportion of his weight is, or should be, in front. With the draft horse it is not a question of height, but of weight; indeed, the nearer the ground he is the better both for service and endurance. To class with draft horses, an animal must weigh not less than 1500 pounds in good flesh, and he is all the more valu- able if he weighs 1800, 2000 or even more. He cannot be too heavy if his bone corresponds to his weight. Such a horseshould be blocky, made with heavy bone, though smooth; short in the back, close coupled with heavy loin, rounded hips, wide strong hock, flat bone, moderately short pasterns, medium straight shoulder, heavy in the front with full breast and legs placed well apart, though not extremely wide. The animal should carry a good covering of flesh, be smooth finished all over and manifest docility and a disposition to do heavy work with patience but with spirit. Accordingly he should show a brigh mild eye, au erect ear, and a smooth easy action at* trot. The good draft horse is not expected to make speed, yet he must not be in constant quarrel with his mate. Because it is easier to secure weight in fat than in bone, care should be taken to insure heavy bone in extreme weights, but this should not be done at the expense of fair finish. Draft horses of good form sell almost according to weight, exoept that as weight increases, prices rise at a much greater ratio; so that extreme weights bring enormous prices if only the bone is satisfactory. Prices range from $120 to $300, with an occasional one higher and with an increase of about 10 per cent when matched in teams. These prices are sometimes exceeded, and dealers insist that prices were never so low that a span of draft horses would not bring $600 if they were only good enough. This is par excellence the horse for the farmer to raise. Only the blood of the best draft breeds, and the heaviest and best boned stallions are suitable. Even then the demand for extreme weights necessi- tates the use of large mares that are good milkers. In no other way can colts be produced with sufficient bone and feeding quality to attain the 6ize and finish demanded by the markets. Even then the youngster must be supplied with the best of feed in large amounts from the very first. Only the best blood Bhould be used and then every effort must be made to keep the horse gaining from the first if he is to top the market. All this is much like growing beef and they are the horses to produce on the farms. They can be pro- duced nowhere else to advantage, and when it is re- membered that the draft horse iB really the highest price standard horse in the market, it is easy enough to see what horse the farmer should raise. He not only sells for more average money but if bred with the same care there are fewer culls and no training is required beyond light common work to familiarize him with the harness and with drawing. The dispo- sition of the draft horse is so docile and his ance6torB have labored so long that he works almost by instinct and he rtquires no Bpecial training to go upon the marketB. •- The Horse in Egvptian Civilization. The American edition of the Theosophical Review for April prints the latest, most wonderful find in Egypt, which proves that the ancient Egyptians were devotees of the horse, says the American Sportsman. The lucky man who made this latest and most wonder- ful discovery is Prof. Thecdore M. Davis, and the London Times of March 10th states that Prof. Davis' disoovery will rank as the greatest find since effete old Egypt has been open to European research. In the valley of the tombs of tbe old Egyptian kirgs, Prof. Davis discovered a tomb never before plundered or visited since the eighteenth Egyptian dynasty, which is about fifteen hundred years before the birth of Christ. As described by the London Times the sepulchva1 chamber is about 30 feet long, 15 feet wide and 8 feet high. Two mummies — a man and a woman (evidently king and queen)— were found, encased in a sheet of solid gold. At the western end or the tomb the floor was covered with large sealed jars of wine and oil and shell-like boxes of wood, painted black, containing cooked meat trapped in black muslin. On tcp of these was a chariot built for horses, with wocden tires and leather trimmings, all in good state of preserva- tion, as the tomb had been sealed tight to prevent decomposition or decay. The seat of the chariot was built for two persons and encrusted with gold. The interpretation of the symbols found in this tomb indicate, according to Prof. Davie, that the Egyptians believed in the resurrection of thebcdy and the immortality of the soul. But what makes this remarkable reminder of the artistic accomplish- ments of the ancient Egyptians most interesting to the modern student of the horse is the fact that the Egyptians not only drove horses in chariots previous to the time of the Romans, but the further and still more interesting fact that they associated the chariot horse with the resurrection of the body and the im- mortality of the soul. Heroditus, the oldest of the Green historians, asserted that the ancient Egyptians were the first of mankind to believe that the soul of man is immortal. And this latest discovery would indicate that the Egyptians were the first of mankind to harness the horse to a chariot, and that the horse and chariot was held to typify the swiftness of life. This wonderful Egyptian tomb, that has been scaled from human eyes for some three thousand and four hundred years, with its horse, chariot and har- ness and trappings, tells us in evidence stronger than history that when Egypt was the light of both Asia and Africa, and when an Egyptian was the foremost man of all the world, the horse was his motor and his best animal friend. And we may learn another lesson worth knowing. When Egypt became effete and her sons and daughters degenerates, the horse appears to have lost his place. Season of Indigestion. Numerous are the complaints from readers regard- ing the condition of their horses and it is plain that indigestion is at the bottom of the trouble due to too little exercise and fairly heavy feeding. It is not a good plan to cut down the ration much especially when in a few weeks the horse will be expected to do considerable hard work, clean water and a comforta- ble stall will do more for them than anything else. Change the food a little if necessary, giving something in the way of green food such as potatoes or carrots and as a tonic give the following which has been re- ferred to in this department before: "Take two ounces of ground flaxseed, eight ounces of powdered nitre, four ounces powdered gentian, five ounces of ginger, four ounces powdered sulphate of iron, three ounces of powdered charcoal, three ounces of powdered anise seed. Mix together thoroughly. Dose, a heapiDg table- spoon once a day in the grain." This tonic may bedis continued after ten days if the horse is given an abundance of light exercise daily. — Farm Stock Journal. Absorbine Keeps Them Up.

Just a fair shade under the 600 mark was the entry list for the S P. K. C. show last week. Prospects for enough entries, to fulfill our prophesy last week, looked encouragingly good until the croppiug up of a little contretemps that kept Spokane and Los Angeles entries away, with an attendant and sympathetic following — all over erecting a wall about specials at the last hour, it has been claimed. The St. Bernard and Cocker Club, and also, if we are not much mis- taken, the Fox Terrier and Bull Terrier Clubs kept their list of membership application and entry open until the closing of the show entries last week. The Collie Club shut down on new memberships two weeks ago The reason given for this action was that the club had been organized for state membership only. The Collie Club however rescinded its prior action and re-opened the doors to membership on par with the other specialty clubs, but it appears the action wag a bit too late. The entries for next week show Cockers in the lead, the largest entry ever made at a Coast show for which President "Jim" Jones may feel justly proud, Collies follow with Bull Terriers and Fox Terriers. English Setter and Pointer classes will boom up in quality far ahead of anything we have ever had here, for George C. Thomas and Ben Lewis, two premier handlers of international repute have some good ones — The Bloom- field English Setters with Mallwyd Sirdar at the head, the Sabine string of Fox Terriers and a sprink- ling of Irish Terriers, Bostons, Pointers, etc. From the north will come some crack English Set- ters including Mallwynd Bob — One or two good Irish Setters will also be seen here. Collies will be brightened up with several new importations includ- ing two from England. Taking it all in all the show will be a remarkably good one, and from the interest already taken by the public, the outlook for a good gate is reassuring. The Seattle Dog Fancier's Association show last week and was a successful and well attended exhibi- tion. Jas. J. Lynn passed on all breeds to every- bodys satisfaction. English Setter honors were an- nexed by George Thomas' string, Mallwyd Sirdar taking special for best in the show. Ben Lewis walked off with the Pointer trophies. Collies repre- sented by the Glen Tana Stock Farm Kennels romped through that competition. Dr. Sharpies won about all their was in sight for Cockers. Notwithstanding the strong Eastern competition, however, the local entries picked a large number of the big plums. The report of the show and complete list of entries were received too late for this week's issue. Mr. Thos. S. Griffiths writes: I am just in receipt of the following letter from Mr. John Dowell, Austin, Texas: "We are very much pleased with our dog and he is working very nicely. The rocky country at first made his feet sore but he has gotten over this and is doing well. Please send me mate for him as soon as as possible." I am particularly pleased with this letter as Mr. Dowell is the owner of a big goat ranch and an ex- cellent judge of shepherd dogs. Thefollowing wins at the Victoria show cause Mr. Thos. S. Griffiths, owner of Glen Tana Kennels, much satisfaction: Glen Tana Marquis, tri-color dog, three firsts and wiDners; Glen Tana Rippowam's Rainbow, tri-color bitch, three firsts and winners: Glen Tana Rippowam's Recompense, sable and white bitch, three first6 and winners and special for best sable in show; Glen Tana Piccolo, sable dog, one second and two thirds. Not so bad for one kennel. Mrs. Peter Moir, we reget to note, has had the ex- tremely ill luck to lose her handsome prize winning Cocker, Coquette Bonnie. Bonnie was killed by a street car one day last week, being a great pet the loss of her dog is much felt by Mrs. Moir. Bonnie was by Black Silk II out of Plumeria Sapho.

The recent rains, it is reported, has interferred somewhat with fly-fishing, which phase of sport wasuu- exceptionably good on many streams this early in the season. Indications point to more success by baitfish- ing than with fly or spinner to-morrow. Striped bass fishing has been rather encouraging recently on the San Pablo trolling ground. Last Sunday there was a number of boats out, nearly all of the anglerB were more or less lucky. The best take being credited to Mr. Lutz, who landed 13 fish. AT THE TRAPS. The Union Gun Club annual live bird shoot at Ingle- side last Sunday was well attended not only by local sportsmen but by shooters from different interior points. A westerly wind blowing across the traps was a serious handicap to the birds' flight. A pigeon released from the trap would rise slowly against tbe wind thus affording an easy mark quite often, straight away and left quartering birds were also rather easy. The shooting, on the whole, was ex- cellent, particularly as a number of the participants were only occasional contenders at the pigeon traps. The pool moneys were annexed by the straight score men in the three events.

The foregoing program will undoubtedly attract a large number of contestants. The grounds are being put in order to accommodate a crowd. A communication from that popular sportsmun and expert trap shot, Mr. Jack Fanning, this week, among other things states: "I expect to be in San Francisco next September for the big shoot. It is possible that Gilbert, Crosby, Heikes, Elliott and Marshall will also be on hand. Give my kind regards to all the boys." Needless to say, the Easterners are due for a Cali- fornia reception, and among sportsmen that will be "no small cakes." The second club shoot of the Green River Gun Club took place at McKay, Wash., two weeks ago. In lesponse to an invitation, members of Auburn Rod and Gun Club were present and participated. The weather conditions did not favor the shooters so best results could not be obtained. The following is the score of events at blue rocks, eighteen yards' rise: First event, 10 targets — Jensen 5, Bussy 5, Bentley 8, R. Allen 4, Jones 4, Stone 8, Payne 6, Lun 7, Potsky 7, Roberts 4.

C. gives the following account of a shoot held April 27th: The weather was too raw for good shooting at the Vancouver Gun Club traps, yet at times some excel- lent work was done. Mr. C. A. Godson and Mr. G. E. Dittberner showed good form so early in the season, but the others were somewhat off . All in all, though, considering the cold and rain, the shooting was very fair. Some new shots were at the traps, and things look well for the summer's sport. The scores were as follows, at 25, 25, 15 and 10 targets respectively: R Kerr Houlgate 16, 17, 7, 7; C A Godson 20, 22, 14, 7; C Wiegand 15, 17, 9, 6; G E Dittberner 22, 18, 10, 10; F M Cowperthwaite 19, 19, 9, — ; D P Marpole 16, 17, 7, 6; J C Meiss 15, 16, — , — ; Mr. Greer 15, 15, — , — ; Mr. Harris 16, 19, — , — . Good weather and a clear atmosphere made ideal shooting conditions at the meeting of the Anaconda Rod and Gun club April 23rd. Hundreds of yisitors were present. L. G Smith was in splendid form and easily cap- tured the Twohy medal. This trophy is at 25 singles. Mr. Smith made a straight 6Core. Confarr and Drumgoole and other crack shots missed targets. Jimmie Drumgoole was not up to his usual mark in the matter of average, but he took away the Brown- lee and Confarr medals after a struggle. Confarr won the high average for the day's shoot and Wood worth of Missoula was third. Most of the participants at the Los Angeles shoot attended the blue rock shoot of the Santa Ana Gun Club, April 25 and 26 High average tbe first day was made by W. W. Anderson who broke 165 out of a possible 180, R. C. Reed of San Francisco was second high average with 162, Emil Holling of San Francisco and Guy Lovelace tied for third place with 15S each. D. Daniels of San Francisio, Guy Lovelace and S. R. Smith of Los Angeles won the three man team shoot with 63 out of 75. E. Holling, Hip Justins and R C. Reed with 65 were barred, as manufacturers agents, from trophy competition. D. W. King, Jr., won the first miss and out and Harry Hoyt won the second. Reed and Justins tied on 9 each out of 5 pairs. The day's shoot closed with a number of "Jack rabbit" events. Intbesecond day's shoot, Fred B. Mills of Santa Ana was high average with 144 out of :i possible 150. R H. Bungay made 133, Hip Justins 130, E. Holling 128, F. W. Carter 128 and Mr Davis 127.

Since tbe expenses of conducting this tournament amount to about $2000 and the Multnomah Rod and Gun Club has more than covered this amount, I think it is to be congratulated The tournament is bound to be successful."

The work of preparation for the twenty-first annual tournament of the Sportsmen's Association of the Northwest, to be held In Portland on June 22, 23 and 24, has kept not only Secretary A. J Winters busy, but the Multnomah Rod and Gun Club as well. The Exposition spirit Is thoroughly in evidence and the Portland Bponsmen are determined that no effort or expense shall be spared to make this tournament the best ever held up north. Letters received from all over the United States announce the coming of many shooters. The grounds at Irvlngton are being carefully gone over and Improved, and a new set of traps has been put In. For the tournament there will be installed live Bets of expert traps with electric pulls, and with this accom- modation will be furnished for 200 or more shooters. Mr. Winters, secretary of the association In speak- ing of the coming shoot, states: "We have just about completed the program for the the twenty-first annual tournament. Without any boasting, I think we can say that the program will be as good as any ever given, and possibly In some re- spects bettor. I think tbe visiting sportsmen will agree with us and I will also say that the local club deserves muoh credit for the efforts It has made to Insure the success of this Exposition tournament. Th» program has been arranged with a view to glvlrg the strictly amateur a 'look In' at least, which The Sacramento Zhiion states: Sportsmen are already getting in form for the Kimball & Upson Tournament which is of interest by reason of a number of prizes offered and races deciding the Northern California championship; the ownership of the Gibson trophy for doubles, the high average and the North- ern California five-man team shoot, now held by Oroville. The tournament will last three days, com- mencing May 12th, the first being reserved for live birds. Teams from seven or eight outside cities and the crack shots from this section of the State will he in attendance. In the blue rock events Eve sets of traps will be used. In the merchandise events the prizes will amount to over $1000 in value. "Mooch" Abrahm, known throughout the Pacific Northwest as a crack blue rook shot, is receiving the congratulations of his friends oyer his recent appoint- ment as a director of the Pacific Coast Trap Shooters' Association says the Portland Oreqonian. Abrahm is secretary of the Multnomah Rod and Gun Club and president of the Sportsmen's Association of the North- west, which will give the big Northwest shoot in Port- land this Bummer. After the announcement of his appointment and the subsequent story that A. J. Winters, also of Portland, was the originator of the scheme for a trap shooters' association, a demurrer came from San Francisco way, Ed Drake said he was willing to congratulate Abrahm, but he wished to deny that Winters evolved the scheme for the association. [The Pacific Coast Trap Shooting Association was organized in San Francisco two years sgo, the moving spirits were Dr. George of Antloch, Tbos L. Lewis, W. S. Wattles, W. A. Seaver and H. T. Hoyt of this city.] However that may be, there will be a lot of the best shots here for the tourney in June. The local boys are shooting every Sunday and their scores are constantly on the improve. After three years, the club Is located at Irvlngton once more. The boys have had three different locations in as many seasons, and each time the protests of neighboring residents, who do not like their Sabbath naps disturbed, have compelled them to move on. This time it looks as if they are located for keeps. Irvlngton Is where the Northwest shoot is to be held. It lb convenient to the car line and not far from the center of theolty. The regular semi-monthly shoot of the Capital City Blue Rock Club took place at the Kimball & Upson grounds, Sacramento, April 30th. There was a rather small attendance, as many of the club members at- tended the Marysville shoot. A high wind blew across the set of traps, interfering with the scores to some extent. The club medal was won by Judge J. W. Hughes from the eighteen-j ard mark with a score of 22 out of 25. He was closely followed by David Ruhstaller and Frank J. Ruhstaller with scores of 21 and 20, respectively, from the sixteen-yard mark. O. L. Stevens shot from the twenty-yard mark, but failed to score effectively for the medal. Judge Hughes will now shoot from the twenty-yard mark and a spirited contest is looked for between His Honor and O. L. Stevens, the latter having won the medal twice and Judge Hughes once. The following; are the principal scores of the day at 10 targets: D. Ruhstaller, 7: Anderson, 4; Martin 2-7- 7; Monte Newbert, 7-7-9; F. Ruhstaller, 9-7-7-8; O. L. Stevens, 3-4; J. W.

The winner of the Kimball and Upson Northern California championship medal was Frank M. New- bert of Sacramento, who broke 10 out of 20. The G. W. Gibson cup [doubles, 5 pairs) was tied for by Ed Fissell of Davlsville and G. W. Gibson of Williams — each broke 17. Mr. Gibson, the donor, being the true sportsman that he is, would not shoot off the tie and thus allowed Fissell to take the cup. The five man team shoot was won by tbe Colusa contingent, who scored 59 out of a possible 75 Newbert also won the Marysville medal, 19 out of 20. Visiting sports- men were oordially looked after by the Marysville sportsmen and speak highly of their reception and entertainment.

Tne annual tournament of the Washington State Sportsmen's Association will be held this year in Wenatchee, May 18, 19 and 20 and the sportsmen of that lively little town are matting great preparations to entertain the visitors royally. It was printed in a Seattle piper some time ago that trophies to the valae of $4300 and added money amounting to $4600 would be put up at this shoot. When the members read th it they gasped with astonishment As a matter of fact, the added money will amount to between $500 and $600, which includes $50 in general average money, and the state trophies are worth about $300. These trophies are dow held by various members of the c'ub, and are shot for every year. The other figures were simply about 84000 off in each instance. The trophy for the state team championship is now h 1 1 by a Spokane team of three men This will be shot for again. The Spokesman-Review medal is held by Stevens of Seattle; the L. C. Smith gun cup is now held by Ellis of Tacoma, and the P. I. medal is held by Fred McBroom of Spokane. The shoot is open to all shooters of the United States except for the trophies The contest for these is limited to shooters of Washington state. Among the crack shots who will attend areSheard of Tacoma, Abrams of Portland, Del Cooper of Bellingham, Mc- Clure of Vancouver, B. C, Ware of Spokane, Ellis and Mac of Seattle and Holohan of Wallace, Idaho It is expected that there will be seveDty-five shooters at least present at the shoot. Last year the tourna- ment was held in Harrington, and it is expected than Spokane will be selected as the place of meeting next year. TRADE NOTES. At this same shoot, Mr. M. E. Atchison, one of the Parker gun's best friends in the State of Texas and a corking good shot, soored 44 out of 50 in a gale of wind. There were three tied in this individual cup race, and in the shoot-off Mr. Atchison soored 22 out of the first 25, and the second time a straight run of 25 This was a wonderful performance in such a heavy wind, ind speaks very creditably of the "Old Reliable" Parker. ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OP D W. C. SUPERIORITY The Union Gun Club held its annual live bird shoot at IngleBide, Sunday, April 30, 1905. Being open to all, it proved to be an event of unusual interest, and it is many years since in attendance, scores and gen- eral results its success has been equaled. Sportsmen from various interior towns were present, and the records show that the 3hootiDg averaged high throughout the day. The first event was a six-bird race, high guns to win. The contestants makingclean kills were Messrs. Creyk, McCutchan, Potter, Feudner, Troy and Nau- man, all using U. M. C. shells. The second event was also for six birds, and was shot under the Rose system. The successful com- petitors were Gill, Feudner, Potter, Creyk, Haight, Duzan, Frankel, Nauman, Sylvester and Iverson. Of these ten, nine were users of U. M. C. ammunition. The final event was for twelve birds. The winners were Gill, Haight, Pitres, Barstow, Grimm, Feudner and Nauman. Of these seven, killing twelve straight, six were users of U. M. C. goods. The entire list of contestants numbered thirty-one. and of these twenty-eight used U. M. C. ammunition. One does not need to varnish a plain statement, be- cause in these days one likes facts and statistics, they telling in an adequate manner all there is to be said on any subject; so when twenty-eight contestants out of thirty-one use a certain ammunition, we feel sure there must be good reason therefor, and consequently we let it go at that, and simply add that the ammu- nition bore the U. M. C. brand. THE SAME OLD TBING. U. M. C. shells win practically-all the honors where many prizes and valuable trophies are at stake. It is the rule and not the exception for unbiased amateurs to choose U M C shells. One more name waTadded to the long list of winners when Mr. E. F. Forsgard of Waco, Texas, won the Texas State championship ineda at live birds; score 19-20. This important vic- tory took place at the Texas State Shoot, Waco, Texas, April 18-20. Other U. M. C. w'ns In Texas during 1905 have been the Sunny South Handicap at live birds, the Central Texas Handicap, ard the Houston Post Diamond Medal. Shooters who shoot the "best" shoot U. M C. DOINGS DOWN IN TEXAS. At the Texas State Shoot held at Waco, April 20th, Mr. E J. Nalle of Austin, Texas, shooting the Parker gun, win the silver loving cup, making the highest aggregate score in all the live bird events. There w-ire three ties and Mr. Nalle shot them all out. Mr. Nalle is a staunch advocate of the "Old Reliable" Parker. "307 STRAIGHT Is the marvelous record made by Mr. W. H. Heer, at Des Moines, March 14-16,when he won the Iowa State Shoot with U. M. C. shot shells. In addition to this wonderful performance, the following important event9 on the program were won by shooters prone to the "U. M. C. habit," making the U. M. C. victory a clean sweep.

The sixth annual tournament of the Marysville Gun Club, which was held at Shelton's Grove, near Marys- ville, on Sunday last, the 30th ultimo, proved to he a most enjoyable affair. Shooters from Roseville Lincoln, Oroville Colusa, Gridley, Sacramento, Wheatland, Woodland, Williams, Rocklin, FoKom Davis, YubaCity and other places were In attendance As usual, shooters of Winchester goods carried off the honors of the tournament. Of the forty-nine shooters that participated in this tournament forty- four shot the Winchester make of shot gun shells, as follows: Twenty-eight used the "Leader" and six- teen the "Repeater" shells. Twenty-three used the Winchester "pump" guns. Mr. F. M. Newbert, shooting a Winchester "pump" gun and Winchester "Leader" shells was the star of the tournament, winning both the Marysville trophy and the Northern California champions'bip medal, on the 9plendid scores of 19 out of the possible 20 in each event. Mr. E. Fissel, shooting a Smith gun and Winchester "Leader" shells captured the Gibson cup, (ten pairs, doubles, on the score of 17 out of the possible 20.) The five man team trophy was won by the Colusa team, composed of Messrs M. E Phillips, G. W. Gib- son, C. Frank, F. Watson and B. Manville, on the score of 59 out of the possible 75 in a high wind. Four of the five men in this team shot the Winchester make of shells. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS OF SAVAGE RIFLES.

Jersey cattle, so far as we know, were originally from Normandy of which the Island of Jersey once formed a part. The people on the Island have the same customs and languages of S00 years ago. Surrounded by the sea, they have been able to keep their breed of cattle pure for eight centuries In 1789 a law was passed prohibiting the landing on the Island of any live animal of cattle kind, under a penalty of heavy fines and imprisonment, Jerseya have been bred through all Warranted to Give Satisfaction.

Breeding only from the best, it has been the custom for ages never to use a bull unless his dam and grandams were excellent producers of butter. This care- ful selection combined with conditions that allowed the cattle to be lethered in green fields, tended mainly by women, almost all the year, has produced cows unequaled for profit and beauty. The American Jersey Cattle Club was organized in 1868. Present membership 438. Net assets $59277.57. The member- ship of this club is said to represent more wealth than any similar organization in the world. Number of registered bulls more than 69604 and cows 187902. Mr. Henry E. Alvord, Chief of Dairy Division, Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture states: For scores of years Jerseys have been bred especially and almost exclusively for butter. There was no demand for milk on the home island, and the whole effort was to increase richness and add to the product of butter. In America breeders have striven with success to increase the milk yield, while maintaining its high quality. Two, three and four gallons per day are common yields, and these cows are noted for persistence in milking, mak- ing a long season of profit, with great evenness of product until near its close Herd records are numerous. Ten selected as having average dairy farm conditions include 140 cows and cover six years. The annual milk product per cow waB 5157 pounds, yielding 293 pounds of but- ter. Among these was one herd 25 cows of all ages with a continuous record of , seven years. The annual average per cow was 5698 pounds of milk and 342 pounds of butter. Several herd records for shorter periods show average yields of 6000 and 7000 pounds per cow. Single animals are on records as producing 90C0, 10,000, 12,000, and at least two nearly 17, COO pounds of milk in a year. The characteristic of the milk of this breed is a high percentage of total solids, especi- ally fat; 4 to 5 per cent butter records are correspondingly large. Good herds are depended upon to produce 350 to 400 pounds butter for every milking animal fed the full year. Individual cases are recorded by the hundred of cows making 15 to 20 pounds of butter in a week, and there are numerous weekly records of 25 to 30 pounds and more. Several tests with single animals have resulted in 600, 700, 800, and even 1000 pounds of butter within twelve months. Great care should be exercised in the foundation of a herd especially in the selection of a hull as on this may depend success or failure. Perhaps the most noted example of the impress one animal may give is that of Eurotas, butter record 778 pounds. This cow had eight bull calves that became the sires of 365 males and 449 females. While the Jer- seys are especially bred for butter it is a singular fact that at St. Louis they sur- passed all others as profitable producers of milk, and that too for a short period. The Jerseys are noted for their staying qualities and persistence in milking well for a long time. It is Btill more remark- able that for butter, milk and beef com- bined they distanced all competitors. It is fair to state that the Jerseys were carefully selected while the Holsteins were hastily gathered. In the long cold winters of Canada or in the heat of Cuba from the bleak hills of Maine to the ever blooming flowers of Southern California the Jersey is everywhere the rich man's pet and pride and the poor man's pro- ducer of profit. — S.

One of the finest w& Imported has a fine, small head and throat latch, very short In the back with a draft middle; Is clean In the limbs and has been very much admired by all who have seen him. We have two other dark greys that are very much admired on account of quality and size. In ouroolleotlon of thirty head of Stallions the first sales were greys. We have one dark bay with blaok points, no white; coming four years old, weight 2050 pounds. We will guarantee him to weigh at maturity 2400 pounds. He is muoh admired for his fine head and throat latch and short baok. His limbs are flrst-olass and in proportion to his body. These Stallions are not like some other breeds that we have with the thickest part of the neck at the top end. They have size, quality and endurance. We have quite a number of black stallions, four and five years old, weighing from 1900 to 2000 pounds Their good qualities are too numerous to men- tion. They are as 'floe as peaches," with fine head and throat latoh and very clean limbed. We never had a barn of as good Stallions at any place as we have at present in San Jose. These Stal- lions are ready any day for service. People say that there Is at present thn brightest prospect for good orops in this country that has been for years. Way will not the farmer Improve his horse stock and also the prosperity of the com- munity In which he lives? We now have twenty head of good Stallions to seleot from. C. F. Slngmaster, the senior member of the firm, has been In San Jose for the past five weeks and Is proud to say we have had extremely good suocess in making sales Have met with only two fail- ures in making sales and that was sometime ago when people were a little afraid of drouth. We expect the parties to come back now any day, as we have had fine rains and prospects for the farmer and stock raiser never were better. Intending purchasers will do well to come soon and see our stockof horses, and we are very sure they will go home with a good Stallion. Where they pay cash we make a liberal discount. In our next shipment will be some good registered draft mares. MANAGER FOR SlNGMASTER & SONS' SAN JOSE BRANCH 127 St. John Street, San Jose, Cal.

GREEN'S RUFUS The Bay wood Stud. San Mateo FRESNO WILL BE ON THE CIRCUIT this year, arrangements being completed yesterday for holding; a meeting of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association there the week following the Los Angeles meeting in July. In next week's issue of the Breeder and Sportsman the full program for the Fresno meeting will be announced and it will pro- vide for all classes of trotters and pacers now training in California. The big entry list received for the regular annual meeting of the Breeders association to be held in August, and which waspublished last week, shows that there are enough horses in training which to be raced, to make the California circuit one of the best in America this year, and when the Los Angeles and Fresno entries are received and published maDy additional ones will be found among them. Woodland and the State Fair will will be the next to advertise programs and with one more meeting given by the Breeders or some other association the circuit will be complete with six weeks racing for purses of from $500 to $2000. The State never looked more prosperous than it does at the present time, and the outlook for harness racing that will draw big crowds is excellent. Don't forget that Fresno is on the racing map this year and look out for the program next week. ALL ABOARD FOR LOS ANGELES will be the cry about the last week in June all along the Pacific Coast railroad lines, and the horsemen from as far north as Washington will be headiDg for the city of angels and oranges to be in attendance at the grand- est opening the California circuit has had in years. Fourteen $1000 purees, with only six entries required to fill, is the moat liberal program the Coast horsemen have been offered for many a day, and they all want to get in on the feast. Entries will close Monday, May 22d for this great meeting which opens on July 3d. You will have to get your entries in one week from next Monday if you want to race at this inaugural meeting and we advise every trainer and owner that intends racing at all in California this year to start in at Los Angeles. Shipping rates are to be reduced, and the Los Angeles association is doing and willdnevery- thing to make things pleasant for horsemen who pay their city a visit. The association bts $15,000 in bank to pay purses with, and should there not be a cor- poral's guard to see the races, the money will be there for the wirjners just the same. But don't fear about the attendance; it will be the largest seen at a harness meeting in California since the days when people down in that section though Silkwood could not be beaten, and a San Francisco gentlfman sent Seymour Wilkes down there in charge of Ed Lafferty and took the black whirlwind into camp. The Los Angeles amateur drivers have one of the finest drivingclubs in America and besides introducing the champion race trotter Sweet Marie, to the world, bave educated the L09 Angeles public to the fact that well conducted harness racing is the grandest of American sports. Some of the most prominent members of this Driving Club, are the organizers and officers of the Los Angeles Harness Horse Association that will give this meeting. They know the game thoroughly and propose to have everything as near up to date as possible. They have set a high standard for their meeting and will see that this standard is reached and maintained. Secretary A. W. Bruner and Mr Ed R. Smith, of the association who so successfully started the borses on the Cali- fornia circuit last year, left Los Angeles May 10th, and were in Fresno last Thursday visiting all the horsemen and soliciting entries. Tbey will be in Woodland today, and Santa Rosa on Monday next, and here in the Breeder and Sportsman office on Tuesday and Thursday of next week, running down to San Jose on Wednesday, and being at Pleasanton Friday and Saturday. This will give them the op- portunity to consult w.th the horsemen pretty thoroughly before the entries close, and we do not doubt but their trip will result in their securing a splendid entry list. The Los Angeles Harness Horse Association has made it possible for California to have a good circuit this year, and it deserves the support of everybody. A SELLING RACE for trotters will be in the program of harness events to be advertised next week for the Breeders meeting to be held at Fresno in July. This race is to be put on as an experiment and in response to a request from several horsemen who have been advocating the introduction of selling raceB on the trotting turf. We believe Mr. H. S. Hogoboom was the first of the California trainers to earnestly advocate the giving of selling races, and if the experi- ment attracts the entries which its advocates expect, there will be a big field and some hot racing. The purse will be $500 and the winner must be offered for sale at the close of the race and started at the owner's bid of$500. If it is sold forany more than that amount, one half the amount in excess of $500 wili go to the owner and the remaining half to the association. This style of race is devised for the purpose of giving the ordinary trotter a chance to win a race now and then, as the conditions will prevent owners of high class green ones from entering in it. There are a great many horses that can trot three heats or more around 2:20, but are not much faster than that, and they would be raced did the owners not feel certain that green trotters having the ability to beat 2:15 would be in the race. The selling plan will keep owners from entering these valuable green ones and give other owners a chance to get back some of the money they have spent for training expenses only to find that their horses were not quite fast enough to go against the good ones that always appear when the circuit opens. The Breeders association, always ready to adopt any plan that looks meritorious and that will benefit horsemen, will make the first experimental selling race for 2:20 class trotters, and if it meets the approval of one half the owners who have already given it their endorsement it will get a record break- ing entry list. THE AMERICAN TROTTER is the title of the latest and in many respects the best book that has ever been published which treats of the origin, history and development of the American trotting horse. It is from the pen of Mr. S. W. Parlin. editor of that excellent journal The American Morse Breeder, and should be in the library of every person who desires to have a knowledge of the history of the most useful of all horses. The preface by Peter C. Kellogg (Hark Comstock) is a gem and in itself ODe of the most interesting as well as the most valuablecontribu- tions that has been made to horse literature. Mr. Parlin's work commences with an account of the earlieBt history of horse racing and traces the trotting breed from its foundation to the present day. There is no writer on the subject who is a more careful and painstaking person than Editor Parlin, nor one who sticks closer to facts and makes so few statements on hearsay. He believes in "the thoroughbred cross" and supports every claim made by facts and figures that no fair-minded person can gainsay. The work 's profusely illustrated with pictures of the most noted trotters, sires and broodmares, nearly all from copy- righted photographs made by Scbrieber, the leading animal photographer of America. The price of the book is only $2, and every horseman who buys and reads it will consider it the best investment he ever made with that much money. LJARTFORD ENTRIES close Monday next, May 15th, for four big stakes, one of which is tbe famous Charter Oak, $10,000 for 2:09 class trotters. In addition to this big event there is a stake of $2000 for 2:14 class trotters, one of $3000 for 2:30 class trot- ters, and one of $2000 for 2:08 class pacers. These races will all be mile heats, best three in five and the payments of the five per cent en trance fee are arranged so that an owner can get out at small expense if his horse goes wrong early in tbe season. The Secretary of the Hartford Grand Circuit meeting is E. M. Stalker, and his office is at Ronm 1 in tbe Tower, Madison Square Garden, New York. See that you mail him your entries for any or all these stakes by Monday next, May 15tb. ""THAT inquisitive old fellow, "Constant Reader" 1 wants to know where Hon John P. Irish of Oakland got the c-edentials which permitted him to be a delegate to the American Stock Growers Asso- ciation in session this week at Denver.

John P. owns a Jersey cow he has milked every morning and evening he has been at home for the past six yearF, duriDg which time that cow has presented him with four or five nice calves.

Mr. Joe Eviston, of this city, has purchased from the Bame cotrpany a Flower City cait for his Direct pacer and it is a beauty. The directorsof the State Agricultural Society held a meeting Friday afternoon, and several features of the improvements proposed for the new grounds were discussed. A. M. Allen, the architect and engineer, submitted partial plans and fstimates for the laying out of the track, etc., and some of the plans for build- ings. The architect's office has been erected on the fair ground and tbe survey has been started. The county surveyor's assistants are surveying the ten acre tract purchased by the State. mxc gveeitev avt& &pttict&n\mt [May 13, 190* SEVERAL SMtLlS'G FACK3 were seen last week among the horsemen of California. They were the recipients of nea'. little Vimdtna from Secretary Albert- Lindley of the State Agricultural Society in- forming them that the money to pay the Society's debts was available, and that the. amounts they had won in purses and stakes last year was awaiting tbeni and would be paid by the Society's treasurer upon presentation of the bills. Several of the horsemen started for Sacramento without delay to get the cash, acd by the time these lines are printed they will all have been paid the amounts due them, which tue as- sociation found itself unable to settle last fall. Noth- ing now remains of the '-unpleasantness" which un- fortunately arose between the Directors and the horsemen, and all should now be plain sailing for a State fair this year that will have the united and en- thusiastic support of every person who haB the wel- fare of the State of California at heart. When one stops to consider the whole situation it is very plain that the State Agricultural Society is in better shape than ever to hold a fir>t-class State exhibition at Sac- ramento. The new fair grounds are now the property of the State and the Society is out of debt. Enough money has b«en appropriated to erect a number of buildings in which live stock and other exhibits can be boused in thoroughly up-to-date manner, and while the new grand stand will not be built this year, a temporary structure will seat comfortably all who desire to witness the races and the stock parades. The new track will be finished in five or six weeks, grading having already begun under the supervision of Mr. A. N Allen, the leading track builder in this country. There will be about fifty thousand dollars spent in permanent Improvements on the new fair grounds thi- year and within three or four years we may expect to see at Sacramento one of the most com, plete fair grounds in America. The entry list received by the Pacific Coast Trot- ting Horse Breeders Association for its August meet- iog is the best in years, and wherever the meeting is held it will furnish one of the best racing programs that ever delighted an audience. The $2000 Cali- fornia Stake for 2:24 class trotters, being the largest stake for aged horses given in the State, naturally attracts the most attention. This is the fourth re- newal of this rich stake. It was inaugurated by the Breeders in 1902 and was won at Fresno that vear by Will Durfee's Petigru. The other starters were Foteat W., Verona and Vi Direct and they finished in the order named. The fastest heat was the second in 2:10 and the race was finished in three heats. The field was small that year because the meeting was held late in the season, the race being trotted October 3d. The following year, 1903, the Breeders meetirg was held at Petaluma, opening August 26th. On Satui- day, August 29th, the California Stake was decided. There were eleven starters and four heats were re- quired to decide the winner. J. R. Alberfson wen the first heat with George G. in 2:14J, but the next hea", wont to Deputy driven by Charley Whitehead in 2:13J, George G. making a break. Albertson's horse look the next two, however, each in 2:12}, which is the record for the stake At the end of the race the starters stood as follows in the summary: George, G., Deputy, Dr. Hammond, Rosie Woodburn, Louise Croner, Una K , Sutter, Daisy B , Telephone, Jupiter B. and Moor Rose. Last year's race for this stake will not be soon forgotten by those who saw it. The meeting was held at San Jose, and the race came off August tith. Ten horses started. The first heat wool to the McKinney mare Una K. in 2:145. Morosco won the second beat in the same notch, and the third o II. 1) B. In 2:14j after which Morosco took the next two and the race in 2:15j and 2:17}. H. D. li. got second money, Una K third, Abe Miller fourth and Little Bubo that had been up lighting for ev.,ry heat was fifth and got no money although she trotted three heat* In 2:15 or better during the race. Golden Gate, Blrdcatcher, Telephone. R. W. P. and MoPberaon were, the other starters oventeen entries to the California Stake this year, I Mr .1. U. Springer's mare Sonoma Girl that is known to have two minute Bpeed and worked a mil. t year. Sonoma Girl bee Ills spring, however, and Mr. Springer seriously contemplated doing nothing with hor, but on the ad vice of Monroe Salisbury and < eontin i hat her lame- DOS'* hft is a very fa^t mare whm In shape nut lias bo j riven a mile ex- oeptAS Above mentioned. Lltth Babi Is again nomi- ')■...■(! In this stake, as Is Mr. Biljan'e hor catcher that also started in the last stake. Mr. Isaac Morehouse has named in the race an Eastern bred gelding called Auget Baron that is by Baron Wilkes, out of Lady Wilton, the dam of Lady Thisbe 2:11J by Wilton. Auget Baron was registered as a stallion but was gelded when a colt. He Is spoken of as a very promising trotter. Will Durfee haB a Zombro mare called Helen Dare in this event and W. W. Mendenhall has named the Zombro gelding Charlie T in it. Both are trotting like money winners and have shown up well so far. "White Hat" McCarty signalizes his return to the trotting turf by naming the chestnut horse Lucky Dillon by Sidney Dillon out of a Sultan mare. This is the only Sidney Dillon named in the event, but McCarty says he is a member of the two minute family and he expects him to earn the big end of the stake. Woodland Stock Farm's entry Is The Bouquet, a Nushagak filly that was ready to start in the Occident and Stanford Stakes in 1902 had the farm's good colt Aristo not been ready to deliver the goods which he did so gracefully that year. The Bouquet is a nice-going trotter and a good looker as well. Oro Belmont, the gelding by Oro Wilkes that won a race of half-mile heats laBt week at Dixon, in the rain and mud, is another one of this year's California stake candidates. His first heat in 1:09 and his second in LIHshows that he is a pretty good mud borse and on a good track he should be able to step fast enough to be in the money. The remaining entries— LeRoy O. by WaldsteiD, Billy Dooley by Bay Bird, D. E. Knight by Linmont, Con- nors by Titus, Don M. by Neernut, Blanch T. by Stickle, Homeway by Strathway and Modoc by Daly have all shown enough Bpeed to warrant their belDg trained for this the leading trotting event of the year In California, and one of them may prove to be the winner. It would not surprise me to see last year's time beaten in the race this year, but I hardly ex- pect to see George G.'s record of 2:12} in the third and fourth heats equalled. In fact, I believe that any horse that trots as well as Little Babe did in last year's stake will not be outside the moDey as she un- fortunately was. The New Zealand Trotting Association has a rule very much like that of the Jockey Club in New York, which requires that every horse competing in races on tracks holding membership in fie New Zealand TrottiDg Association must be registered with the association. No standard of breeding is required but the breeding of every horse so far as known must be given together with a complete description of his size, color, marks and brands if any. The association issues a pamphlet annually, listing all horses regis- tered during the year. A copy of this pamphlet was received at the office of this journal by the last mail from New Zealand, and from its pages I take the fol- io wing sample of the registration of a horse as there given: Bloomington, b g, 5 years, by Wilmington, 15.3 hands; no brands. Bright bay gelding, black points, scar six inches from nose, near hind fetlock white, off hind coronet white, two small white marks on fore- head. Registered February 12, 1904. Now I submit that the National and American Trotting Associations could not do a wiserthing than adopt this horse registering plan of their New Zeal- and contemporary. It would be a great safeguard against ringers aud would also do much to prevent the making of false pedigrees. If the small fee of 25 cents was charged for registering it would fully cover the cost of same and printing the pamphlet at the end of the year. New Zealand and Australia have origi- nated and adopted many new inventions to popularize racing, such as the numbered sadole cloths, starting gates, totalisators, etc , and this plan of registering all horses that race is one of the best and is worthy of adoption by this and every other country where rac- ing is held. Last week's issue of the Pleasanton Times contained the statement that "Pleasanton will probably be un- able to give a meeting this year." This is very un- fortunate and the result of a disagreement over the rental of the track, but if those most interested will only get togethtr In a spirit of mutual conciliation, they should be able to agree on terms and keep Pleasanton in the prominent place on the circuit which she earned last year. The Pleasanton Fair and Racing Association of which Mr. C L. Crellin is President and F. E. Adams Secretary, gave one of the most successful meetings held on the circuit last year and have now nearly a thousand dollars in the treasury left over after paying all bills. The associa- tion expected and desired to give a still better and more profitable meeting this year, but when they opened negotiations with Mr. Ronan for the track, a hitch arose over the price, and up to this time there lines not Beem to be much chance of any agreement being reached. Considerable ill feeling has been Btlrred up over the matter and there has been a lot of talk about building a new training track at Pleasan- ton, which of course, has not made Mr. Ronan an better disposed toward thoee who have advocated such a solution of the question. Pleasanton ia the acknowledged horse training centre of California during the winter months, and has a track that is not equalled anywhere in the world for winter train- ing The town and all who own property therein are greatly benefitted by the keeping there of three or four hundred horses, and their trainers and care- taaers from November to May. The place has many advantages over any other winter training ground in California, but as a house divided againBt itself cannot stand, it will become unpopular with horsemen unless there is more harmony and better feeling among those of its citizens who are most interested in maintaining its position as the horse training centre. There should be mutual concessions, and Mr. Ronan and the Fair Association Directors should get together at a meet- ing held especially for that purpoEe snd see if they cannot come to some sort of an agreement. If they do not, some other track in California may get the horses next winter. Robert Smith, of Los Angeles, who raced Sweet Marie 2:04| on the Grand Circuit last year, came up from Los Angeles this week on a short visit. He says that Walter Maben has a good string of horses at University, and a few days ago stepped "the pink horse," the gray gelding Rozell 2:14 by Bob Ma.-or, a milein2:10J. If this horse was a good steady race horse he would be able to give any 2:10 horse an argument in a three in five race as he is game as a pebble. Mr. Smith says Maben has two pacers that can beat 2:10 and Is a busy man as his string is quite numerous. W. G. Durfee, he reports, as working from "early morn till dewey eve" with the largest string of horses ever in one man's charge at Los Angeles. Mr. Smith relates with great gusto bow he beat Will driving a gray pacer, with the trotter Briney K. Durfee waB working the gray and had beaten Briney K , driven by his owner Mr. Berry, through the stretch, when Mr. Smith made a remark about it being a scratch. Thereupon Durfee offered to let Smith drive Briney the next heat and to bet a "sombrero" that the gray pacer would beat him the last quarter. The defi was accepted and they started. After jogging along at a forty gait up to the three- quarter pole they started on even terms at tbat point and raced to the wire. For two-thirds of the way the gray was in the lead by a half a length and Mr. Smith savs that he thought Briney was all in, but just then the gray sprawled a little, while Briney came again and with lifting and reefing the two horses got to the wire in 31 seconds with Briney's nose in front as Smith expressed it, "by about half the length of a cigar." He says it was the best race he has had in five years, and he never wore a hat he appreciated winning more than the one Will Durfee bought him. A few weeks ago there arrived in Pleasanton from New York State a man named James P. Dunnigan, who went to work soon after Mb arrival for Mr. J. D. Springer as caretaker for some of the horses that gedtleman has in training. He was an excellent horse- man, one of the sort tbat is not afraid of work and addicted to the habit of saving his money, and had a neat little roll of it with him which he placed on de- posit in the local bank. Dunnigan bid an eye for a good horse and kept it open for one that would suit his fancy and that he thought would be a profitable one for him to own. When Mr. W. H. Lumsden of Santa Rosa 6ent his stallion McPherson to Pleasanton to be shipped East to the Fasig-Tipton Boston sale, Mr. Dunnigan saw him and liked him. He inquired as to the price that would be taken for the horse, cash down, and thinking the sum stated was reason- able, made the purchase, and arranged to ship him East with the East View Farm string which left last week. He will locate McPherson somewhere in New York, placing him In the stud. Mr. Dunnigan has secured one of the best looking and fastest McKinney stallions ever bred in this State. The dam of Mc- Pherson is that great broodmare Eveline by Nutwood 600, a mare tbat has raised a big family of trotters and pacers, everyone of which had great speed. She Ib the dam of the fast trotters Ole 2:11, Tietam 2:19 and Maud Fowler 2:213, aDd of the pacer Roblet 2:12. The last named is the dam of Robin Stanley 2:29J, and Maud Fowler is the dam of the very fast mare Sonoma Girl that is to be raced this year. McPherson is from great producing families on both sides. His sire is the leading sire of 2:15 trotters and his dam one of the greatest daughters of the greatest broodmare sire in tbe world. That McPherson will sire early and extreme speed there is no doubt. It is a foregone conclusion. He is a gi;and individual a very fast trot- ter and bred as well as any and much better than most stallions. I believe an ailment in one of his legs is the cause of his not getting a record, but I also bnlleve that a year's let up from track work will put him in shape to race and race well, and if be ever starts right, 2:10 is within his reach. Mr. Dunnigan has secured a stallion that will be a valuable addition to any horse breediog community and one that will certainly attract patronage where his qua'^ies are known. Hi May 13. 1905] ®Jte gveebev axtii gtpavisnttm A Portland Sale. The third annual McCarthy sale, held in Portland, Or., May 2nd and 3rd, was not marked by a blaze of glory, though steady inquiry appeared and buyers present strained no muscles reaching for bargains. The bargains came close and told their own story with each entry into the sale ring. The chief interest was in the consignment of Mr. C. X. Larrabee from his great Brook-Nook farm in Mon- tina. The youngsters of the blood royal, finished, promising, having the lung development of high alti- tudes, the feet and legs of untrammelled colthood and the spirit and beauty of generations known to the register, the year book and the show ring. Brook-Nook's consignments were mostly young- sters, undeveloped and hardly fit for use. Some great breeding and racing prospects were shown, and the fifty head sold will greatly benefit the blood of the northwest, many sections being represented at the sale. The average price was over $180, Knick-Knaok 2:24i, a very speedy pacer, going at $500, the highest price in the Larrabee division. Mr. Larrabee is a friend of the Morgans, and it was doubtless a source orsatisfaction to him to observe interest in his favi r- ite strains, though horsemen present viewed with favor the Morgan as foundation biood, rather than in near crosses. Baron Wilkes, Red Wilkes, Mambrino Pd,',ch-)n, Alcyone, Alfonso Keeler and others of ihe highest horse nobility were introduced through close descendents, and gave Mr. McCarthy suitable texts for high class horse talks. Some good small consignments brought fair prices. Yukon 2:14 was knocked down at $700; The Zoo, a three-year-old Zombro with an inclination to trot, at $600 and two full brothers to Baronlace 2:141, three and four, both pacers, at $540 and $235. Some yourg. sters of good parentage and a few medium quality drivers went low. It was expected that a better crowd would be in at- tendance, the market being bare of horse offerings. Evidently the demand iB for roadsters ready for use, high bred, with quality. The local talent was present. Editor Wisdom refereed the proceedings. Portland's May zephyrs toyed in turn with the young poplar leaves, the editor's whiskers and tbe gay fringes of Prof. Bradburn. W- H. Wehrung, formerly proprietor of tbe Oregon State Pair, rode from Hillsboro on bis family steed Vinmont, and parted tearfully with that faithful animal. D. M. Woodworth, the Palmer Cox of Albani , looked on for a day or two. John Sawyer blossomed out wonderfully and took a few youngsters to develop. Handsome Harry Osmon waived admission chargts and between acts of the sale exhibited Hat B. to admiring horsemen. Mr. McCarthy is an able sale general and brought out all the value there was in the crowd. C. L McCarthy managed the warming up process and was right on schedule time. The general expectation was quite met in quality if not in price. Portland, May 5, 1905. Board of Review Meeting. The Board of Review of the National Trotting Association met at New York on Tuesday and Wed- nesday of last week. Owing to the illness of Gen. Benjamin P.Tracy, counsel for James Butler, President of the Empire City Driving Club and one of the most prominent local horsemen, the case against him presented before the Board of Review of the National TrottiDg Asso- ciation was adjourned until the next meeting, which means that the case will not come up for final settle- ment until December. Mr. Butler was present at the session of the board and seemed well satisfied with the adjournment, although he stated that he would be very glad to have the matter settled. The case is a complicated one, and is practically unique in the history of the Trotting Association. In brief, ii is charged that $30,000 was paid unlawfully to Mr. Butler last season for his winnings with seven horses the most important being Consuela S. 2:07|, and Aristo 2:08}. Monroe Salisbury was employed by Mr. Butler to look alter some of his horses, and it is because of old suspensions hanging over Mr. Salis- bury that the trouble arose. A number of small cases came hefore the board. One of the most important was the request of Joe Gahagan, driver of Dr. Strong at the Buffalo meeting, in which Dr. Strong lost the first heat. Geers then drove and won the next two heats, and Gahagan was fined $200 for alleged pulling. Gahagan claimed that he drove honestly, that he had driven for ten years in Grand Circuit meets, and never had a charge against him. He asked that he be exonerated from the charge and his fine returned. Considerable testi- mony was heard. W. Perry Taylor, President of the Buffalo Driving Association, stated that it was the most flagrant case of pulling he ever 6aw. This evi- dently had weight with the members of the board, for they announced that the decision of the iudges was sustained. E E. Smathers of New York was fined $250 for technical violation of rule, but was exonerated of fraudulent or dishonest intent. The case was the out- come of the sale of the famous trotter, Doctor Strong, between heats of the Massachusetts Stake Race, in- volving a $15,000 purse, at Readville last year, the two judges failing to announce the purchase from the stand. Z.K.Travis, who sold the horse, was also fined $100. A large docket was disposed of, nearly all the cases being of interest only to those directly connected with them. News From the North. [Rural Spirit, Portland.] John Lance will soon move his stable from North Yakima to Walla Walla. He says Sam BowerB is developing into a very fast trotter. John Lance writes us that he has sold his stallion, Dr. Bunnelle 2:16} to J. B. Cummings of Ritzville, Wash., for $1200. Dr. Bunnelle is a bay stallion sired by Ingraham, dam Lady Kisbar by Young Kisbar, sire of the dam of Dr. Sperry 2:09. Fred Woodcock, a recent arrival from Kansas, is at Irvington with a very handsome three-year-old stal- lion by Falmont Jr., son of Palmont 2:14}. dam Eva Wright 2:25} by Clegg Wright 2:29, second dam Sue Baecher by Henry Ward Beecher, third d m by Kent, son of Hambletonian 10, fourth dam by Addison Lambert, son of Daniel Lambert. N. K. West, of Westbrook Farm near La Grands, reports the following foals this spring: Nettie Ham 2:19}, filly by Kalispel, son of Prodigal; Blonette, filly by Batin Royal 2:19}; Mable M. filly by The Common- wealth 2:16}. There is a three-year-old trotter at Kelvin Grove Farm sired by Harry McC, that is said to possess a wonderful lot of natural speed. This filly is unbroken, but in the field she does nothing but trot even when the other horses are on the run. At the annual meeting of the First Eastern Oregon District Agricultural Society, held in La Grande, the following directors were elected for the ensuing year: Pete McDonald, Andrew Blockland, J. C. Scriber, J. D. McKinnon, Chas. Melquest, Wm. Church and N. K. West. The directors met and elected the following officers: President, N.K. West; vice-president, Andrew Blockland; secretary and treasurer, Pred J. Holmes. The directors decided on holding a fair and race meet- ing this year. Grandpa Tilden is about the happiest man on the track over the way his young Zombros are coming to the front. Mr. Tilden has three and they are all promising. Zomden, a three year-old pacer, by Zombro, out of May Tilden 2:25, is the Rhythmic of the prune orchard; Zomboi, a full brother, a year younger, is a trotter and with apologies to the many fine Zombro colts in this country, we believe this the best one we have seen. He is a beautiful dark bay and resembles his sire very much in conformation, and in as much as Mr. Beckers is a long ways off, will say he is a better looking colt than Zombro waB in his three-year-old form. Zombert is another Zombro out of May Scott 2:24, by Scarlet Letter; second dam Tenino 2:19}, fully sister to Chehalis 2:04}, that Mr. Tilden intends to race this season, being a very stout built colt that promises to go fast. He is if anything the best bred one, but does not possess the high finish and quality of Zomboi. Mr. Larrabee distributed a very fine bunch of horses at the McCarthy sale, from which this county will derive a great benefit. Merrick Diver 18509, a full brother to the great John R. Gentry 2:00$, is making a season in Butte, Montana. He is owned by Dr. T. B. Moore. Oregon Dick, first prize winner at the Woodburn Horse Show in roadster class, was sold to W. A. Leiber of San Francisco by L. C. McCormick this week. The California papers are trying already to claim Mack Mack aB a California horse. He is an Oregon bred, raised and developed horse and never saw Cali- fornia until this spring. by McKinney, named by Geo. H. Easterbrook of Denver, Crown Prince by Dexter Prince, named by Ed Benyon of Memphie.Helen Keyes by Sidney Dillon and Danube by Direcho named by East View Farm, and Maud Maxine by Boodle named by W. L. Snow of Hornellsville. The Ponkapog, a $3000 stake for trotters of the 2:14 class has 41 entries.the largeBt list of any stakeclosed. The Pacific Coast is well represented in this stake, nine trotters bred here being named . They are Thos. H. Brent's Bellardi by Chehalis, and Helen Norte by Del Norte, East View Farm's Helen Keys by Sidney Dillon and Mamie R. by son of Oro Wilkes, W. J. Andrew's Idylwild by McKinney and Miss Kinney by McKinney, R. B. Williams' Swift B. by Stam B , Simon Walsh's Young Stamboul by Stamboul and Henry Titer's Zambia by Cupid There are 36 entries in The Tyro, a $3000 stake for three-year-old trotters eligible to the 2:25 cla68. Dr. McCoy of Delaware has named the chestnut filly Avenue by Mendocino, and George H. Easterbrook of Denver has named the brown filly Lady Zombro by Zombro in this stake. These are the only ones bred in California that have been named in the stake. It is unfortunate that Mr. Easterbrook has selected the name Lady Zombro as there iB an aged mare called Lady Zombro with a mark of 2:24$, in P. W. Hodges' string that has been entered in other events on the Grand Circuit this year. The Neponset, $3000 for 2:08 class pacers received 26 entries. Those from this Coast are Bolivar by Way- land W. named by East View Farm, Oregon Maid by Del Norte named by J. A. Richardson of Denver and Reyb^l by Rey Direct, named by Cromwell Washburn oi Massachusetts . Sonoma has a Track and Driving Club. In April of last year sixteen residents of Sonoma formed an organization known as the Sonoma Driving Club. A half mile track was surveyed and graded, and two successful meetings were given, one on July 4th, the other September 9th. At each meet four harness events and one running race were given, the purses amounting in the aggregate to $150 at each meeting. The best time made was 2:30 for the mile over the two laps and the track while fair was never in condition that could be called fast. The track has been much improved this year, the turns having been thrown up and the surface made smoother and level. Several new members have been taken into the club and it is proposed to hold meetirgs this year on May 30th, July 4th, September 9th and Thanksgiving Day. A better class of horses are in tbe hands of the mem- bers this year and nearly all the owners are using new bikes and up-to-date rigging Sonoma is one of the historic towns of the State and now that it has quick railroad communication with Napa as well as with all the towns in Sonoma and Marin counties, and Is but an hour and a half's ride from San Francisco, it should get to be quite a borse centre, especially as the club members all take an interest in breeding good ones as well aB driving them. Among the horses owned by club members is a three-year-old stallion by Seymour Wilkes out of a Silver Bow mare that trotted a trial of 2:23 as a three-year-old, and Is owned by Mr. W. C. Nolan of Sonoma This young stallion has had no work yet, but is nicely broken and will soon be put in training. So far as looks, etc. , go he is certainly a very attractive horse and is highly thought of by all the Sonoma horsemen. Readville Stake Entries. A big entry list has been received by the New England Trotting Horse Breeders Association for its August meeting. The Massachusetts, a $10,000 stake for 2:10 olass trotters has sixteen nominators. James Thompson has taken one and Mr. S. N. Mlnoranother for John Caldwell 2:11} and Morosco 2:12 respectively. East View Farm also has a nomination in this rioh event, and J. C. McKinney has taken a nomination for the Zombro mare Zephyr. The Blue Hill, $5000 stake for 2:30 class trotters has no less than 38 entries. The California bred horses named are Briquette by Zombro and Delia McCarty Half a Horse Goes Down His Throat. Secretary Wilson, of the United States Department of Agriculture is quoted as saying: 4,We are importing considerable blooded stock for breeding purposes. In my judgment we have some of the finest breeding animals right here in the United States. Our horse people here In the department are going to try to develop a twelve or thirteen hundred pound roadster from American stock, which should take the place of and be. better than our importations. We are going to start in Colorado and breed up some colts with this purpose in view. And I am going to have my own way about feeding tbese colts and mak- ing them the finest animals possible. I am going to have their feeding commence while they are still suckling." That's the way Palo Alto Farm raised its colts and every horseman remembers when that farm showed Its hor6es at all theCalifornia fairs that the yearlings looked as big and strong as the average two-year-olds and the two year-olds looked like mature horses. A sanitarium for old and disabled horses has been estabhsi ed at Red Acre Farm, Stowe, Mass ,ibu' a mile from South Acton station. Disabled horses found suffering from ill-usage are taken to the farm, where a course of medical treatment, good feeiitug and proper care and rest soon puts them in shape If recovery is possible. 8 ffilt* gveettev cmi» gpvvt&tnan [May 13, 1906 Butchers Day next Wednesday. Lots of racing and plenty of fun. Humboldt Maid 2:13J by Wuldstein is to be bred to Allerlon 2:09} this year. Lida W. 2:181, dam of Nutwood Wilkes 2:16J, has a handsome bay colt at foot by Searchlight 2:03}. Nancy Hanks produced a dead foal by Bingen last week, a distinct lose to the horte world as well as to the owner. Joe Bryant has opened a trainingstable in Anaconda, Montana, and has a half dozen green trotters and pacers to beein on. The Breeders will give a meeting at Fresno the week after the Los Augeles meeting. Program will be announced next week. The stallion Ben Liebes 2:17} by McKinney out of the great brood mare Belle McGregor by Robert Mc- Gregor is standing at Lexington, Kentucky, and twenty mares have already been booked to him. The Stanford Stake of 1907, for foals of 1904, will close June 1st. This is one of the best stakes offered for trotters in California The State Agricultural Society adds $300 to the stake and the amount to the first horse is generally id the neighborhood of $1000. The total entrance fee is but $50 with easy payments. Read the advertisement in this issue for conditions. It has besn figured out that the horse that goes the entire mile out in third position travels fifty feet further than the pole horse. Rosalind by Stam B. out of an Altamont mare is said to be sdowing great speed at Djnver where she is in the stable of M. Hayes. Zombro 2:11 had been bred to 37 mares this year up to May 1st. He was bred that day to Belle Patchen 2:16 by Atto Bex, dam by Mambrino Patchen. The Vaocouver Jockey Club will give a spring meeting on the 24th and 27tn" of this month. There will be five races ttie first day and six on the second. Purses range from $75 to $200. Among tbe horses consigned to the Chicago sale by Geo. A. Davis, of Pleasanton, were quite a numoer that were former members of the East View Farm string, among them Mush 2:08}. Several stallion owners in Oregon announce that they will pay tbe entrance fee on all cults and fillies sired by their horses that are entered in the $5000 Oregon Futurity. This is commendable enterprise. After May 1st MeKinney's service fee will be raised to $500. It is said that the demand for the services of this stallion are so great that Mr. Simpson, proprie- tor of Empire City Farms, has taken this planto keep them within limits. SoDOma Girl has been lame for several weeks this spring but her owner J. D. Springer has entered her lc the California Stake for 2:24 class trotters at the Breeders mietiog. If she gets to the race in good condition she would be able to make the race a fast one. McPherson, tbe six-year-old son of McKinney 2:11 J, out of that truly great brjodmare, Eveline by Nut- wood, has been consigned to the Fasig-Tipton Boston sale which is to be held May 22-27. McPherson was bred and Is owned by Mr. W. H. Lumsden, of Santa Rosa. Frank S. Turner, proprietor of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm reports tbe following recent foals by Sidney Dillon: Biscari by Director has a bay filly; By By by Nu'.wood, a chestnut filly ; Viota by Vallota a chestnut Hlly; Russie Russell by Bay Rose a chest- nut filly. Work will soon be commenced on the new driving park and fairgrounds to be constructed near Watson- vllle. All the lumber necessary for the grand stands, stables, etc., has been secured, and as soon as the grading Ib finished the buildlDgs will be put up in time for a fair this year. The handsome mare Mayola by Vallota, that Dan Misner is working at PleasantOD, stepped off a mile in 2:23 last week with the last half in 1:09 and was not half trying. It is a pity some one does not buy this mare and race her as her owner is not in the racing business. She is such a handsome and stylish mars, and is endowed with such a high rate of speed that she would attract lots of attention on any circuit. The August meetlDg of the Breeders Association, at which tbe colt stakes and all purses closed May 1st will be decided, has not yet been located. It wiil be held at the track within 100 miles of San Francisco offering the best Inducements. San Jose or Santa Rosa will probably be the place. One or two car loads of horses w'll probably leave Pleasanton for Denver next week. Ben Cbaboya will take Tony Bernal's trotter Major Cook and J. M. Alviso's pacer Rey del Diablo, fl. H. Dunlap will go with the pacer Harold D by Dexter Prince and an- other green one, Worth Obe'r will take B. Croner's mares, Nance O'Neil 2:09}, Louise Croner and Hattie Croner, and W. McDonald's mare Swanhilda. A new record for Southern sales of horses by auc- tion was established in Tennessee by the Roberts- Giltner Co. a fortnight ago A total of 520 horses of all kinds was sold at an average of some cents over $160, the highest figure paid being $490. Almost a week was consumed in holdiDg tbe sale and ttie total transactions, including sales at auction as described and at private treaty, amounted to over $100,000. At the third annual horse sale of J. L. McCarthy & Son, held at Portland, Oregon, May 2nd and 3rd, thirty head were sold on the first day at an average of $172, and sixty-nine head on the second day at an average of $192. The total for the two days was $18,- 410. The highest price of the sale was $700 paid for C. Welby's stallion Yukon 2:14} by Bay Bird. The next highest price was $600 paid for a three-year-old by Zombro. Charter Oak Park entries will close Monday next, May 15th. If you are going East to race don't miss this meeting. The $10,000 Charter OaK is for the 2:09 trotters, there is $3,000 for the 2:30 trotters and $2,000 for 2:14 class trotters. The Connecticut for 2:08 pacers is worth $2,000. California horses should win a share of all three purses. Mail your entries to E. M. Stalker, Secretary, Room 1, Tower, Madison Square Garden, New York. Last week Mi-. A. J. Cassatt, Chesterbrook Farm, Brewyn, Pa., had the misfortune to lose by death his great Hackney stallion Cadet. The stallion had been driven but a short time before and it was supposed that death was due to rupture of some sort. Cadet was a chestnut horse, standing 15.3 hands, and was imported by Mr. Cassatt many years ago, in fact by far the greater part of his life period of 21 years was spent on this sido of the water. Joe Huber, Manager for Senator Hoffman, at Boze- man, recently returned from the East with two well bred young stallions, purchased from the Grattan Stock Farm, Prairie View, 111. Both colts are by Grattan 2:13, sire of Palmyra 2:07$, Grattan Boy 2:06}, and others of the list. The two-year-old is Montana Grattan, dam Mazie by Robert McGregor. Tbe other colt is named Gallatin Grattan, his dam by Lord Russell, sire of Kremlin 2:073 and many otbers. Groat preparations are being made for the holding ofthi Boston Work Horse Parade on Decoration Day.

Parties in the market for a hieh-elass young trot ting stallion should write to F. H. Topham, Milpitas, Cal., who is offering for sale the five-year-old horse Peralta. This fellow Ib a son of Nutwood Wilkes 2:161. out of Rose McKinney (dam of Almaden (2) 2:22}) by McKinney 2:12}, second dam Queen B. by ForreBt Clay. He is a very handsome, smooth-turned stallion, haB never been trained, but is very fast and Bhould make a race horse Full particulars will be furnished on application. Two additional entries to the stakes for the Breed- ers August meeting were received by Secretary Kelley on Tuesday last, just eight days after they bad been mailed Tbey were from Higgins Bros of Mis- soula, Montana, who named tbeir bay mare Ruby H. by Malcolm dam by Delgamo, second dam by Red W'.lkes in the Pacific Slope Stake for 2:20 class pacers and also in the 2:17 class pace Owing to washouts and other delays the letter was eight days coming from Missoula to San Francisco. Geo. H. Ketcham, who bred, educated and drove CresceuB 2:02} to bis world's record, will race three Cresceu* colts of bis own breeding. They are CreBS- more 2:35}, Corrola 2:281 and Creocia, a remarkably handsome and speedy green one. All are chestnuts and all show the marked characteristics and individu- ality of their sire- Guy McKinney, the son of McKinney, out of a mare by Guy Wilkes, second dam Blanch Ward, dam of China Maid 2:05} by Onward, thiid dam by Mam- brino Patchen, has made a good season this year aDd has had some of the choicest mares in Stanislaus and San Joaquin counties. He is one of the best bred stallions in America, has natural speed and is a pro- ducer of well made colts of good color and disposition, with fine action and sp^ed. As soon as tbey are old enough to train they will make him a member of tbe Great Table. Lady Mowry, tbe four year old mare by McKinney out of Electress Wilkes by Nutwood Wilkes owned by Mr. J. C Mowry of Irvington, Cal., is showing a very high rate of speed this year. She took a recoid of 2:28 last year as a three-year-old and has been worked again this spring by William Cecil. La6t week Bhe trotted an easy half in l:05j and stepped the last quarter in 31 seconds. Lady Mowry is a good example of the McKinney-Nutwood Wilkes cross which has produced speed every time it has been tried, and does it either way. In January last, G. W. Shipley, of Santa Barbara, California, made a shipment of Indian ponieB from Umatilla county, Oregon, to his Shetland pony farm, tbe purpose being to use the mares for breeding pur- poses, they to be crossed with Shetland stallions. Mr. Shipley has returned to Pendleton for more of tbe very smallest pinto ponies to be found. He will get thirty spotted ponies this time. He says the Umatilla ponies prove to be tbe most docile animals of that class ever handled by bim and the trade promises to be one of the important developments of tbe future. Many of our readers will remember the chestnut mare Belle by Melbourne King 1962 out of Mattie by All Right 5817, that was raced on the California Cir- cuit nine or ten years ago and took a record of 2:11 at Los Angeles in tbe fourth and fifth heats of a mixed race where she beat Hazel H., Toggles, Frank L and Atlas. Belle and Hazel H. were pacers, the otbers trotters and it was a five heat affair. Belle was after- wards bred to Conn's Harry Wilkes and produced a filly, arid this filly vs.? bred to Wayland W. and is the dam of Bolivar 2:20 now in East Vi6W Farm string and supposed to be one of the best of tbe entire string. John Quinn, of Santa Rosa, who has been working a string of horses at Pleasanton, has returned home with them as he thinks no track is better than the one at the Santa Rosa Stock Farm after tbe first of May Those in his string are Wilmar by Wildnut, a very promising young trotter, R. W. P. by LiDwood W. that was raced last year, Ayeress, a filly by Lin- wood W. out of May AyerB, sister to Jasper Ayers 2:09, and two others that are green but know ec roe- thing about speed. Mr. Quinn will be out on the circuit thiB year with some of tbese horses, several of them being already entered for the Breeders' August meeting. The stallion Nocturno 33,413 by Alfonso, that "Pap" Mushier is working at Los Angelf s, is showing considerable speed. It is only during the past few weeks that Mr Mosier has given bim any miles and he recently let him trot one in 2:28$ with the last half in 1:13 and the laBt quarter at a 2:24 gait. Nocturno is not only a handsome horse, but is royally bred, and Mr. Mosier Intend b to give bim a record in July and then take him north. He is owned by Mr. G. A. Westgate, editor of the Albany, Oregon, Herald, who will place Nocturno in the stud next season. Mr. Westgate was formerly a director of the Oregon State Fair, and runs a big printing plant in conjunction with his newspaper office. The very handsome cala- logue of the McCarthy Spring Sale at Portland was from the press of the Herald. Mr. Rudolph Spreckels intends to erect a handsome country house or the site of the one burned down last year at his beautiful country seat Sobre Vista in Sonoma valley. Is Ib at this piace Mr. Spreckels has established bis farm for the breeding of polo and racing ponies. The stallion Royal Flush has been plaoed at tbe head of the stud and two dozen or more sm ill thoroughbred mares of royal breeding are being mated with him this year. Sobre Vista is one of the most picturesque places in California. Queen C. 2:28$ by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16$, dam Queen by Venture 2:27}, thoroughbied sire of the dam of Directum 2:05}, foaled a chestnut colt by Kin- ney Lou 2:07| April 24th Martin Carter, proprietor of the Nutwood Stock Farm, and owner of the colt, says that it is a very handsome youngster, stout and large, but fine and very active. It is closely related to as much speed as any colt foaled this year in Cali- fornia, as its sire is the fastest entire son of the great McKinney, sire of Sweet Marie 2:04} tbe fastest trot- ting mare of the Wilkes tribe, while the sire of its dam sired John A. McKerron, the fastest trotting stallion of all the Wilkeses, and tbe sire of its second dam sired the dam of Directum 2:05} tbe fastest trot- ting stallion of the famous Director family. That's pretty close relationship to three of the best trotters ever raced. Jas. Creelman in Everybody's Magazine tells of the many wonderful things that 1'hos. W. Lawson author of Frenzied Finance has done in the trotting hoise industry and as an all around sportsman. And the following from Mr Creelman reads as if it was worth printing: "He has a 600-acre farm on CapeCod, with seven miles of fenceB. tbree hundred borBee, each one of whom he can call by name; a hundred and fifty dogs and a building for training bis animals larger than Madison Square Garden' He built the yacht Inde- pendence at a cost of $200,000 and when it was shut out smilingly threw it on the scrap heap. He estab- lished a great raoing stable, and when tired cf playing with it broke it up. He went to Kentucky and the dav bpfore a great trotting race bought Boralma for $17 000 His pride was aroused by the fart that the betting was against bis borse He gave $104,000 to a friend to sustain Boralma's reputation in the betting and won $92,000. May 13 , 1905 J ©he greefrer ttntt ^poxt$man Daisy Nutwood Bred to Bonnie Direct. Daisy Nutwood by Nutwood, dam Ruth Add by Belle Alta; second dam GeDe by Bostoo Boy; third dam Emma by Geoeral Taylor has been sent to Pleas- anton to be bred to Bonnie Direct 2:05}. Every thing considered Daisy Nutwood is one of the greatest broodmares in the world. When we consider Nut- wood being the champion broodmare sire and also the champioD sire of mares that have produced 2:10 performers, aDd then to consider that Daisy Nutwood has produced one of the fastest and the greatest tr>. ti- ters that any of the Nutwood mares have produced in Consuella S. 2:07J, winner of the $15,000 Massa- chusetts Stake, the richest stake of 1904, that is also the fastest trotter the great Directum 2:05} has sired. She has also produced Ella H. that could trot in 2:10 or better and Eva G. that trotted trials in 2:16 and was a two-year-old colt winner, winning the twe- year-old stake at Petaluma. Daisy Nutwood is own sister to Harry Slocum, who was the fastest gelding io California iD 1889. He worked miles better than 2:15 tn high wheel sulky; also own sister to Luella, the dam of Prince N atwood 2:12}, the fastest stallion sired by Dexter Prince winner of the three-year-old pace at San Jose in 1894, a race that took six heats to decide. Luella is also the dam of Myrtle 2:13£ the greatest three-year-old in California in 1891. Myrtle IB the dam of Robizola 2:12} and a fast three-year-old sired by Bonnie Direct that has already shown a 2:10 gait. T. F. Kiernan of Modesto owner of Daisy Nutwood has four very promising colts from Daisy Nutwood, one by Vasto 2:16} the other three by his fast stallion Pacheco W., a son of Guy Wilkes. Mr. Kiernan con- cluded to select the beBt stallion in California to breed Daisy Nutwood to, and us the Direct cross Is considered the golden cross, Mr. Kiernan has surely made a good selection. F. Haney. Which Is It? When Little Buttercup -'mixed those babies up and not a creature knew it," she did not make any i worse complication than haB come up over the identity of the fast pacer that Chas. DeRyder had in the East View Farm string this winter, and worked an eighth in 13} seconds but left with Sutherland & Chadbourne when the farm's racing striDg was shipped East last week. The question is whether the horse is Alford D. 2:12} or Alford C. 2:12J. Both horses (if there are two) belonged to the late A. C. Dietz and are black geldings by Longworth. Marsh Thompson, of Ventura, writes us asking which horse is the one De Ryder has been training at Pleasanton. Thompson says he bought Alford D. from Mr. Dietz gave him his mark of 2:12} at Oxnard against Wel- come Mack, Alford C. and others and then sold him back to Mr. Dtetz. He now waots to know whether the horse at Pleasanton is Alford C. or Alford D. We confess that we do not kDow but our impression is that it is Alford C. We will try to straighten the matter out before our next issue. In the, Year Book Alford D. is credited with a mark of 2:12} at Oxnard in 1902, and Alford C. one of 2:12£ at Sacramento the same year — these records in the summaries. In the table of new 2:25 pacers for 1902 Alford C. is the ooly one that appears, and his mark is there given as 2:12} instead of 2:I2£ In the Year Book of 1903 Alford D 's name appears in the table of 2:25 pacers, as having made a record of 2:12} the previous year in Sacra- mento. Are there two horses or only one with the initial in his name sometimes printed D. and at other times C? Who can untangle this mix-up? What Kin to Lou Dillon? A letter received last Saturday from Frank S. Tur- ner, proprietor of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, stateB that he has bred Lou Milton, dam of Lou Dillon 1:58$ and three more in the list to his young stallion Judge Dillon 38.993, son of Sidney Dillon and the great broodmare Eveline, dam of Ole 2:11, Roblet 2:12, etc., by Nutwood and he believes her to be in foal. Mr. Turner says he would like to know "what kin the foal, if she has one, will be to Lou Dillon?" That's a hard one to answer. Being out of the same mare by a different sire it would behalf brother or sister, as the case may be, but as the sires are father and sod, the relationship will be still closer, but we do Dot be- lieve aDy name has yet been devised to fit the case. The foals would have the same relationship to one another that Alma Mater's sons Alcantara and Al- fonso do, as the former is by George Wilkes and the latter by Baron Wilkes, a son of George Wilkes. We hope Lou Milton may produce a foal from tbismatiDg, and look for it to be a trotter with as much speed aw the champion mare. Big Demand for Shetlands. The Shetland pony has assumed the importance of a feature of the largest horse market in the world. A recent Chicago market review slated that "a special feature of the receipts was the liberal arrivals of Shetland ponies which met with an active demand, the bulk being taken by outside dealers, principally New York and Philadelphia operators." This public comment confirms numerous private reports to the effect that never before has there been such a wide- spread insistent demand for Shetland ponies, and never have transfers among breeders been on so large a scale and sales of single animale and pairs so numer- ous and at such high prices. The Shetland pony is a luxury. He is not a necessity except for mine work, and of course the trade has been favorably affected to some degree by the demand for ponies for hauliDg cars of coal in mine levels. But the greater demand comes from the families of the well-to-do who appre- ciate the pleasure a pony will confer on children and the educational value that a child may derive from the use of such a pet. Details of the preseot public market Id this city are very interesting Arrivals aggregate from 20 to 25 per week — a small number compared with the large receipts of horses and yet nevertheless very significant of the growth in popularity of these yaluable ponies. Almost any kind of a Shetland, or pony beariDg that Btamp, brings at least $85, while range-br- d ponies aod other such types may sometimes be picked up at arouDd $35. It is oeedless to say that pooies at this low price caD not be expected to have much beauty of form or education. It requires from $100 to $125 to get what may be called "the making of a good Shet- land" when thoroughly broken to haroess and saddle, while fancy prices are bid for ponies that are strictly in the class of child's pony. This means that the disposition is absolutely reliable and the education complete. Comparatively few of this class are on the market. Nearly all breeders and dealers report that they are wholly unable to supply the demand this spring for finished ponies, ready to go to work. A good looking Shetland, guaranteed absolutely safe and well trained for the use of children will bring $200 to $250 on the Chicago market today. And the smaller the pony, other things being equal, the larger the price. — The Breeders' Gazette. Amateur and Professional. A Worthy and Humane Charity. A little booklet from Red Acre Farm, a charity home and hospital for horses at Stow, Mass., shows the good work that establishment is doing. Red Acre Farm is owned by Miss H. G. Bird, who contributes its use, rent, taxes and repairs free to the purpose for which it is now beiDg used. The money to keep the farm going is dooated by people who are in sympathy with the work and the list of donors last year contains nearly 109 names. From the report of the advisory board, the work of this charitable et-terprise is admir- ably outlined as follows: "Red Acre Farm, a Chari- table Home for horses, opened on May 8, 1903, with 0D6 old black horse. Others were soon added, until oq June 24th there were fourteen horses at the faim. During the present year the average has been twelve. Some of the horses have been sent by their owners, others have been received from humane persons by whom they were bought or otherwise rescued from Buffering or ill-treatment. Also, during the winter many miserable creatures, old and incurably ill, have been purchased from junk dealers, farmers and others by the Red Acre Farm agent. These have been mercifully killed either at the Farm or, when possible, wherever they. have been found. Of the 134 horses received at the Farm, Beventy-eight were incurable sufferers and have been killed. The remainder have been restored by rest and treatment to a good condition. Some have been returned to their owners', some have been loaned. No horses have been sold by the Farm." Those who are lovers of the horse will be glad to learn that In at least one locality an effort is being made to provide shelter, food and treatment or release by death for Buch cases of abuse, overwork and injury as seem to call for something of the kind. — Horse World. Jackson's Napa Soda is sold in every city, town and hamlet in the State. The former Buffalo trainer George Bodimer, who is training in Austria, won 12 000 ctowds during the recent Vienna meeting and he did not 6tai t any of his horses until the last four days of the meeting. He has ten trotters in his stable, eight by Caid 2:07}. one by Que Allen 2:09} and Lord Revelstoke 2:12| hy Bin- gen. Anna L. by Caid, out of Charmer, dam of Charming Chimes 2:17*, etc , by Mambrino King, one of his first pupils, is regarded by good judges as about the fastest trotter ever bred in Europe. A record of 2:10 is predicted for her. Lord Revelstoke Bodimer bought last fall and he has not tried to do much with him ye', but the horse can step very fast and seems to be much steadier than be was in his races in this oountry last season. Riverside, Cal ■ May 10, 1905. Breeder and Sportsman: — I am a member of the Riverside Driving Club and a trainer and driver of horses, and beiDg a conataDt and interested reader of your very valuable weekly paper, I would like to ask you a questioo. A dispute has arisen in club circles here as to who are aod who are Dot professiooal trainers aDd drivers. Will you kindly state for our information just what constitutes a professiooal, and lo what extent a man may train or drive a horse and still not be a pro- fessional. The Driviog Club is holding matinee races here May 20th and it is desired to settle this question be- fore that time. ThankiDg you iD advaoce for an early reply, I am, Yours respectfully, D. McKenzie. The rules of the League of Amateur Driviog ulubs of America provide as follows: "Ad amateur is defined as a man who has not accepted wages or hire for hiB services as a trainer or driver. ADy iodividual club member who competes for a purse, or agaiDst pro- fessionals, except iD such evenls as are especially arranged for amateurs, shall forfeit his amateur BtaudiDg." Sell When Prices Are High. Here's some pretty good advice from the Breeders Gazette of Chicago, the best authority on the condi- tion of the market for farm animals io tho United States: "With horses it is the same as with all other sorts of live stock among American breeders. On a rising market, or eveo when prices are stationary and high, there is a marked dibincliDatioo to sell at any tort of a good price, whereas wheo the top has been reached and the down grade is being traversed everyone seems demented to throw over his holdings and help prices still farther down the hill. Horses are very high just at this time. No one seems to know whether there is a surplus or a scarcity. Diligent inquiry does not develop that there is any great flood of matured animals to be sold during the rest of this season and .the next. It is even hard to find where there are any good mares. It is a safe proposition that if the good mares have been let- go off the farm the supply of their kind cannot increase very greatly. Biwever, we think that horses are high enough to permit the grower to make a very substantial profit. It is not the time to hold them back seeking for more moDey for them providiDg a good offer is made. It is a fact that prices in the Western breediDg districts set m pheoomeDally high to Eastern users, some of whom have, according to their own statements, reached their price limit and if they have to pay more will Bimply do without or rub aloDg the best they can with what they have on hand No doubt the farmers of the corn-belt are using more horses this year than they ever did and the call from the urbau districts is greater than in any previous year, but it is a good maxim to let well enougb alone and those who have horses of salable age to sell will do well to lpt them go along to market whenever they are in suitable flesh. In canvassing the proposed changes in racing con- ditions not a few managers have been impressed with the fact that the present division of the purse is not an Ideal one says an Eastern paper. The opinion is grow- ing that the purse should be diyided into but three sections and that the bulk of money should go to the wiooer of the race. In the average discussions look- ing for methods by means of which the laying-up of heats can be prevented too little attention has been paid to such a simple expedient as to give the winner 65 or 70 per cent of the purse. Under the present methodB the driver of the best horse does not receive so large a sum that he is not willing to listen to argu- ments from the man anxious to win, espi cially if the driver wishes to escape a record or save bis horse for next year's stakes. There are many arguments in favor of the best horse gettiDg the lion's share of the purse and mighty few why the purse money should be so distributed that three-fourths of the horses in the race win a little more than the entrance fte. In the discussioos relating to the eo-callt d oovelty raceB Dot a few of the drivers have advocated the abolition of four mooeys to a race, and many of the track own- ers have been impressed with the justice of the plea. The White McMurrays Are Popular. M. J. Reams, of Dixon, has just received from the KeDDey Manufacturing Company, 531 Valencia street, one of those beautiful white McMurray bikes which he will bitch to his handsome black trotter Ray Ben- nett when be starts him in the races this year Mr. Whaley, of Tulare, also bought, a white McMurray this week, and Mr C. Harrington, of Woodland, has a McMurray cart that he is very much pleased with. There are twelve carts at the Woodland track and eleven of them are McMurrays. 5 ®he gveeirev tmfc gp|K>rt*ttta*t [May 13, 1905 Board of Appeals, N. T. A , Pacific District. Trick Horse Trainers Must Have Patience. A meeting of the Pacific District Board of Appeals of the National Trotting Association was held at the office ol Secretary F. W. Kelley, 36 Geary street, San Francisco, Wednesday of this week. The rnembers present were Messrs. A. B. Spreckels and J. C. Kirk- patriek. The only case before the Board was the protest of E. A Servis 8nd others against J. D. Springer owner of Billy Red winner of second money in the Pacific Slope Stake, $1500 for 2:20 class pacers at the meeilog of tbe Breeders Association at San Jose last year. Martin Carter had originally nominated Miss Georgie in this stake, but after selliDg that mare, transferred the nomination to Mr. Springer who named Billy Red, under the condition which read as follows: Substitutions— In all of the above stakes, except the Futurity Stakes, on August 1, 1904, nominators, by the payment of an additional 2 per cent have the right of transferring tbe;>- entry or substituting another horse eligible to the class in place of the one naoied in the original entry. Billy Red won a race at Pleasanton, July 27th, taking a record of 2:12*. He started August 3d in tte Pacific Slope Stake won by Rajah and got second money. Mr. Servis' horse Dr. J. being third, Mr. Croner's Hattie Croner fourth, and all the others distanced. The protest was made on the ground that BUly Red was not eligible to the race on August 1st, the date given on which substitutions could be made, as his record of 2:121 was made July 27th. Mr. Sprioger argued that his substitution stood in the same position as the original entry. The Board agreed with him and denied the protest, holding that Mr. Springer's horse was eligible to start io the race. The case of C. A. Durfee and others against the State Agricultural Society was withdrawn as the association has paid its purses and stakes. An Early Life Incident of John Splan. "If the late Mr. C. J. Hamlin had horsewhipped me, I would not have felt so badly. I have never forgotten bis kindly words, and the experience of that night at the Red Jacket Hotel has been a wise teacher to me." Thus spoke John Splan, the noted veteran of the Grand Circuit, during a pleasant chat one evening. Back in the '60s young Splan worked for Mr. Hamlin in his private stable, Franklin street, Buffalo, and a big-hearted Irishman named Maher was coachman and barn boss. "It was our custom to go to dances twice or three times a week," continued the famous knight of the sulky, who piloted Rjrus 2:13} to the world's trotting record over the Buffalo track nearly a quarter of a century ago, and gave Johnson 2:06} the high wheel sulky mark at Washington Park, Chicago, shortly afterwards. "Tbe Red Jacket Hotel, a favorite resort in the suburbs of the city, named in honor of a renowned Indian chieftain, and where the belles and beaux as- sembled frequently, and Maher and I were alwayB there to trip the light fantastic with the girls. "We used to lake Mr. Hamlin's favorite roadster, a Royal George mare, and drive out to the Red Jacket, unbeknown to bim. On tbe night in question, Maher imbibed so much redeye that I could hardly get him into tbe buggy to go home, and by tbe time we ar_ rived at tbe Franklin-street stable at 4 o'clock in the morning, be was asleep and dead to the world. At Drst I did not know what to do with him. Finally, I managed to lift bim out of the vehicle, and laid him in the office and harness-room on a pile of blankets. Maher was a big man, and I had a tough job of it I Cin assure you. "It was pitch dark, and I lit the gas to put out the horse. Lo, and behold! There Bat Mr. C. J. Hamlin in a chair, clad In an overcoat, and although no doubt very mad earlier in the night, he was so amused over my laying out Maher that he looked at me, shivering with fright and said: " 'You did well, my boy; now go to bed. I thought I would stay up and put out tbe horse for you and Maber.' "I stammered out that I was all right, and would do that, whereupon tbe Napoleon of the horse king- dom went into the bouse "Bet your life I stayed up and cleaned the stable and horses that morning as never before. It was one of my duties to take Mr. Humlin down town to bis office with the Royal Georgo mare at 9 o'clock to the minute, every forenoon. "When be jumped Into tbe light Brewster carriage and took tbe reins (ho always drove, and very fast, too) I told bim I was sorry for what occurred, and that It would never happen again. ■ -N.'vor mind tbe past, young man,' he replied. ■But '-)ok out In tbe future. It Is better to ask and receive, than to steal and gel caught.' "—Jxnl in /.' ■ for. "What qualifications must a trainer possess before he can successfully educate horses to do the tricks seen in a circus?" This question was put to one of the expert horse trainers at the Sells-Forepaugh circus headquarters. "Kindness and preservance. He must also be a good judge of horse nature and possess an unlimited stock of patience; more patience than is usually attributed to a nurse in a children's home." The trainer continued: "A horse is like a child. He appreciates kind treatment and rapidly learns to love the attendants who greet him with pleasant words and a caressing pat. From the time you impress upon a horse that you are his friend he will make every possible effort, in his dumb way, to show his appre- ciation, and in nine cases out of ten prove to be a will- ing pupil when you begin to educate him. Bud Gorman, one of toe Forepaugh-Sells veterans who has been educating horses during the winter months at the circus quarters, selects his horEes w'th as much care as a society woman plans a party gown. The candidate must be handsome in color, as near perfect as possible in conformation, and possess an even temperament. His eyes must be large and devoid of the least trace of viciousness; he must hold his ears pointed slightly forward, and he must have a sensible looking head, broad between the eyes. Horses who lay back their ears at the approach of a man who nip viciously at every passer-by, and whose eyes plainly demonstrate a mean disposition, are discarded. A trainer will not handle an animal of this kind. Once the candidate is selected he is shipped to the winter quarters of the circus and assigned to a com- fortable stall in a large, clean, well-ventilated barn tenanted by several hundred beauties of this kind. Good hay and oats are his in abundance, and for several days he is allowed to rest and become familiar with his surroundings. The trainer visits him daily and by speaking kindly and occasionally giving tbe animal a bit of sugar, gains his confidence. After a time the horse begins to whinny at the approach of tbe trainer, and the bond of friendship is thus quickly oemented. Then comes the first lessou. The candidate is in- troduced to the training ring constructed near the barn and allowed to wander about at will. He smells the sawdust, the pedestals, and the harness and ropes that will soon be buckled about his body and then horse-like lies down in the center of the ring and en- joys a good roll. Next day he is lead around and around the ring for several hours and soon understands that he is ex- pected to encircle the ring of his own accord. Then a strap is placed around his right foreleg, and from this strap a rope is run through the harness and fastened around his body. The trainer grasps the free end of the rope in one hand and a pair of lines attached to the horse's bridle in the other. The animal is told to 'get up,' and after the ring is enciroled a few times the command 'whoa' is given. If the horse refuses to obey, a quick pull on the rope draws his legs from under him and he IB forced to stop. Only a few demonstrations of this kind are necessary to show the horse that he must stop when the command is given. After these preliminaries are satisfactorily accom- plished the equine pupil is taught to kneel first on one knee, then on the other, and finally on both. All this is accomplished by drawing up the front legs one at a time, thus forcing him down. His knees are padded to prevedt injury, and every time he is forced down the command to kneel is given and the animal is pstted and reassured with kind words, until finally he kneels at the word. It is in these preliminary lessons that a good per- former is made — or spoiled. The instructor must be firm and resolute, but kind, always kind. A horse is like a child— you may coax him, but you can't force him without spoiling his disposition. The anima' quickly notices any show of ill temper or roughness on the part of the instructor and resents it by becom- ing balky and obstinate. Blows or harsh punishment only make him worse. You frequently hear people at a circus assert that animals are beaten into submis- sion in teaching them tricks. People who say this never saw the inside of the training quarters of a modern circus, In the olden times there was a great deal of brute force used, but it was because the owners and trainers didn't know any better. A horse or any other animal conquered in this way is never reliable and is apt to spoil a performance by an outbreak of bad temper, besides being dangerous to handle. As soon as it was found that the education of a horse may be accomplished more quickly and with better results by kindness than by brute force, the latter method was shelved. "The next lesson Is the art of lying down and re- maining motionless until the word is given to ri6e. This Information Is imparted to the horse in a manner similar to the kneeling lesson. An ingenious harness makes it possible for the trainer to draw the horse down on a soft bed of hay without irjuring him. When the horse willingly lies down at the word of command, he is taught to sit upon his haunches and then is gradually drilled into the other tricks that always draw applause from children and adults alike. "It is usually an easy matter to teach a horse to stand upon a pedestal, to waltz, rear on his hind legs and march in unison with equine companions, after these simple lessons are thoroughly learned and the horse understands the trainer is his friend and not his enemy. The horse of ave.age intelligence learns quickly as soon as he realizes what is required of him The main requisite on the trainer's part is patience and if a man hasn't got this and lots of it, he had better keep out of the business. If he gets excited or impatient, and goes to hauling the horse about un- necessarily, the animal is sure to become uneasy and fretful and a little experience of this kind will spoil him. "The better bred a horse is the more intelligence it has, and the more apt it is to make a good performer provided it has been handled properly from colthood' All high bred horses, however, are nervous, and re- quire-kiml treatment in order to insure good results That's why you see so many bad actors on the race tracks. Thoroughbreds are usually intelligent, but they are left to the mercy of ignorant stable hands who bang and slap them around until their di-posit'ons are --polled. They are teased and beaten until they de- velop into kickers and biters and man eaters, and the thoroughbred gets a bad name. Few horses are naturally vicious; they are made so by had handling. "It's no use trying to do anything with a lunkhead of a horse, and for this reason the mongrels as a rule are not satisfactory for ring purposes. They haveD't got intelligence enough to comprehend what is wanted of them. The old Morgans, a breed that is fast dying out, make good performers, hut are a little undersized. As a class the thoroughbreds of the hunter type are the best material to make trick horses of. They have size, substance and brains, and with the right kind of treatment are docile and tractable." Death of Dr. George fl. Bailey. We take the following from the last issue of the American Horse Breeder: "We regret to announce that George H. Bailey, D. V S, of Portland, Me., died on the morning of the 30th ult,, after a week's sickness, aged 70 years. The doctor was a a native of Bridgeton, Me., and a graduate of the Bridgeton, Academy. He was a born horseman and this led him to become a veterinary surgeon. He graduated from the New York Veterinary College many years ago, and only a few years since took a post-graduate course at the Harvard Veterinary Institute in this city. The doctor was an artist of considerable ability, and painted excellent portraits of several famous horses. Thirty-five years ago he was considered one of the best trotting-horse drivers in Maine. He was for some time manager of Presumption Park, Deering, Me., and also managed Mystic Park for one or more seasons in the early seventies. He was an expert in the saddle as well as the sulky, and rode the running pace maker when Goldsmith Maid, driven by W. H. Doble.reouced the world's trotting record to 2:16| at Mystic Park, June 9, 1872. While on the track at Bangor, Me. , several years ago, assisting in starting the runners in a race at the Eastern' Maine Fair, the doctor was struck by one of the horses that, unobserved by him, was coming down the track. His injury was so severe that it was at first feared it would prove fatal, and he never fully recovered from theefftcts. The doctor was a bright, genial companion, a good talker and a forceful writer. His articles against the possibility of any horse trotting a mile in two minutes were the most able overwritten on that side of tbe question. He was very successful in his profession, and among the best-known of tbe veterinary surgeonB in New England. He was for several years the State Veterinarian of Maine and a member of the Maine Board of Cattle Commissioners. He was energetic, public spirited, and patriotic. He served in two Maine regiments of infantry during the Civil War, the 10th and 29th. His residence was at East Deer ing, Me , just outside of Portland. His family con- sisted of a wife and three daughters, all of whom sur- vive him. His cheery greeting will be sadly missed by many, and especially at the Breeder office, where he was a frequent and most welcome caller." A great demand is reported to prevail in New York for higb-stepping carriage and saddle horses imported from England and Scotland. For ponies of the right kind and fit to win in the show ring some very long prices have been paid and it is expected that great competition will ensue at the shows this coming fall in the pony classes. MAY 13, 1905) ©he ^§t;eeiiev cm& §tp*msrocm A Marriage on Horseback. Gwendolan Evans, a Welsh heiress, reputed to have a fortune in her own right of £180,000 ($900,000), was married a few weeks ago to Lieutenant Griffith Ev r. sham, of one of the royal Welsh fusileer regiments, by a horse wedding, and the wedding is the sensation of the year. There was no reason why Gwendolan should not have married the Lieutenant. She was an orphan and of age. Young Eversham was eligible in every way and not a fortune-hunter, for his parents are wealthy. They, too, had loved each other devotedly for three years, and Gwendolan's guardian, her uncle, and Eversham's parents approved the match. The sensation in the marriage, however, was in the ceremony attending it, for Gwendolan insisted on having a 'horse wedding." No one in London society knew what a "horse wedding" was, and when the rumor began tocirculate in town and country houses that Gwendolan Evans was to be married at a "norse wedding" there were uncertain little gasps of astonishment among maids and matrons. The words "horse wedding" suggested a weird ceremony in a gypsy camp by the light of smoking torches, with dusky faced maidens and swarthy faced men dancing on the greensward to the wild music of the Hungarian forests. Not for a hundred years had a horse wedding been celebrated in Wales, and it was not strange, thereforei that society people were bewildered by the invitations to go to Gwendolan's county seat in Wales to wioness the ceremony. The national spirit was strong in the breast of John Evans. He would have none but Welsh tenants on his lands and in his villages. He encouraged his ten ants to keep alive Wolsh traditions, Welsh music, Welsh costumes, Welsh memories. Gwendolan Evans was old John Evan's only child and she inherited his wealth, as well as his national spirit. She lived part of the season in England, of course, where she was a petted guest in the great houses in Carleton Square and other great fashionable thoroughfares of London. She was invited to most of the great house parties in the country. When she promised to marry Lieutenant Griffith Eversham she only stipulated that they would have a "horse wedding." Eversham consented readily enough. He didn't know what a "horse wedding" .was like, but he would have gone through any kind of a ceremony to win Gwendolan Evans. Gwendolan issued the invitations, and, aided by her uncle, took charge of all the preliminary arrange- ments The Welsh tenants, who entered heart and soul into the spirit of the affair, were drilled in the parts they were to play in the ' 'horse wedd ing. " The guests arrived from London— there were several, too, from Paris, and even from Rome— and every one was on tiptoe of excitement, for no one had an inkling of the surprise in store for them. Invitations were sent to farmsteads and dwelling houseB on the Evans estate, whether tenanted by gentle O" simple. An old man of bardic descent was chosen as the bearer. He carried in his hand a staff, covered with many colored ribbons, which he planted on the threshold of each house as he delivered his message. This was in rhyme. He bade all the in- mates to the wedding in verses, which he sang, in- toned or crooned, according to the inspiration of the moment. Every tenant of the estate was expected to attend the wedding and at the "castle," asGwendolan still called her magnificent home, great preparations were made to entertain the entire neighborhood with Welsh songs, games and feasts. These native poets, who a few centuries earlier would have been called "bards" and were then styled "seekouts," placed themselves on either side of the closed door. There they began their lyric measure. They poured out praises of the bride and her family, invited her forth, described the beauty of the morn- ing, then extemporized by turns until their rhyth- mical powers were exhausted. At last the door unclosed and Gwendolan Evans, the bride, appeared, trembling and blushing, ac- companied by her uncle. Noisy congratulations fol- lowed, then the swiftest horse was chosen. The uncle mounted, the bride was lifted on the pillion behind him. The bridal party followed, consisting of men, women and children. Tbey clattered through the yard, and from fifty to a hundred horses galloped after the bride. On some neighboring hilltop, and at about the same time, the bridegroom and a similar company left his abode, he riding the beat horse that he could command. Then began the race for the bride. Gwendolan Eyans and her uncle were ever foremost, the bride- groom and his party behind, but all rode as if riding for their lives. It was dangerous wedding pastime. Sometimes four or five abreast, sometimes huddled together by the dozen or score, sometimes single, they galloped on. There was no time for love-making or gossip. Their hearts were in their horses. It was furious riding, and the women were as energetic as the men, perhaps more so. They ride well. A Welsh woman and her horse seem one — it is difficult to separate them in these bridal raids. Even rain and mud did not appall them. Many colored shawls, pink and white ribbons, scarlet cloaks, skirts of all dyes, were forgotten in the one great object of being up with the bride. All the countryside was out to see, shouting, cheer- ing and frightening the horses. There was a mile or so of turnpike road before they reached the church, so that the steeplechase ended in a fair race. Gwen- dolan Evans and her uncle strained on in advance, but, being visible to all, were more easily reached by the party of the bridegroom. He was the first to oome up with them, and then began a tourney for the bride. The lover tried to tear her from her pillion; she clung to her uncle, who held her fast; the horses pranced or reared, and the dangerous game lasted un- til the bridegroom gained possession of his bride and placed her on his own horse. Meanwhile the other horses tore up, that their riders might "be there to see, " and in the melee not even the firm seat of the woman always saved them from a downfall. The spectators laughed and shouted while they righted themselves, and amid a babel of noise the bridegroom started again with his bride and the race commenced. The equestrian tournament was over, but the church had still to be reached. The arrival of the troop at the village brought all the inhabitants to the front. It might be supposed that the spirit, of horses and riders was tired out by this time. On the contrary, it was ever sharpest at sight of the goal. If they had flagged a little afterthe excitement of the capture of the bride, they aroused themselves at the prospect of the parson. The chances were that the roads had been dirty. It did not make any difference. On they came, bespattered by mud or besmothered by dust. Bride and bride- groom, uncle, tailor or best man, bridesmaids, moth- er, sisters, brothers, friends, over a hundred horses, all pelted into the town haphazard. Pattering, clat- tering, whip-arm extended, coat-tails, shawls, petti- coats, ribbons floating. Hurrahs and waving of hats, peals of laughter, remarks' on personal appearance, barking of dogs, screaming of babies, screeching of small boys; such a hullabaloo hasn't been heard in Wales for a hundred years. Finally Lieutenant Eversham, with his bride seated on the pillion of his racing horse, dashed into the village and drew up at the village inn. The bride and her bridemaids smoothed their ruffled garments be- fore the looking glass; the bridegroom and his men refreshed themselves with drafts of ale. Before half- past eleven o'clock a procession was formed. The lovers proceeded, arm in arm; every Jack chose his Jill and followed. Blushing, tittering, coquetting, they took their way to the church in pairs. The old people and children followed less regularly. The London guests joined the string who had not joined the race, and a goodly string it was. Shopkeepers were at their doors, their wives in the windows, spectators everywhere. Jests flew and kindly feeling prevailed. The ceremony was duly performed in the old parish church and there was no doubt about the wedding. All those valiant horsemen and horsewomen certified it and strengthened the Gordian knot. The young men and maidens took the privilege of a kiss, nothing loth, and after the usual signing the procession re- formed. The exit from the town was less regular than the entry. The newly married pair and their immediate friends rode off steadily enough and were cheered as they went. The bride blushed behind her groom and had to bear the blunt jokes and jibes. The rest fol- lowed at leisure. Hats and even horBes were ex- changed. Potations of ale made the men frisky and feeds of corn enlivened the horses. The riders were riotous and their steeds kicked and floundered, so that the whip and stick were in request. But all managed to reach their respective homes. That evening the guests returned to London and Lieutenant Eversham and his bride started for the continent to enjoy their honeymoon, both satisfied that they had had the most sensational wedding known to the kingdom for a century — Chicago Tri- bune. An inventor is traveling through the Eastern country selling a device for stopping runaway horseB It consists of a pistol that fires pointed darls that have been dipped in a drug that paralyzes the muscles of the animal. The dart sticks in the flesh and the drug acts very quickly. It is said that only a few seconds is required for the drug to act, and that the horse stops without falling. The Vain Fight Against Hobbles. Indications are not .wanting that the Kentucky Association of Trotting Horse Breeders is preparing to follow the example of the New England Trotting Horse Breeders' Association in rescinding the rule which has for several years denied the right of com- petition on the Lexington track to horses which wear hobbles. Secretary Horace Wilson is authority; for the statemens that the directors of vhc Kentucky association have the matter under consideratk n, and that it is not improbable that the ban will be removed. The Kentucky Association, ever zealous for the in- terests of the breeders, and willing to endure a sacri- fice for anything which promises to promote improve- ment in horse breeding, was the first associatkn In the country to take the stand that hobbles are an un- safe and unsightly contrivance tending to encourage the development of bad-gaited horsey, and not lack- ing in the courage of its convictions it promptly pro- hibited their useat the Lexington track. Its example was followed by the New England Trotting Horse Breeders' Association, and for several years these tv o associations have alone stood for the principle in- volved in the embargo upon the "6traps." Finding that the effort for reform was gaining no adherents, and realizing that it was entailiDg a material financial sacrifice, the Readville association abandoned its position last year, and it is apparently now to be fol- lowed by its Kentucky contemporary. It is stated that the latter association estimates ita loss in entrance fees from the inhibition of hobbles to have been quite $25,000 or $30,000, but that this is not the prime reason for its change of policy. The realiza- tion that its example was not to receive support from other associations, and that sirigle-handed it was powerless to accomplish the purpose in view, has forced it to recognize the fact that further sacrifice for the principle is utterly useless. Undoubtedly this view of the situation is the logical one, and the deter- mination to recede is justified by the hopeleE6ness of any good from a longer tenure of its position. It now looks as if the hobbles are here to stay. However we may deplore their use as dangerous and unornamental or as a hindrance to the propagation of a breed of pure-gaited horses, it seems to be clearly demonstrated that it is impracticable to effect their abolishment for the reason that trainers find in them a facile process of correcting defects of gait to remedy which by other methods would require too much time and effort. — Trotter and Pacer. Beautify the Race Tracks It is a singular fact that the vast majority of our trotting tracks are not only destitute of beautiful surroundings, but tbe infield which could with slight expense be made a thing of beauty and a joy forever is at the best a pasture for a few turned out horses. In England and FraQce tbe spare grounds of the tracks are subjects for the landscape gardener, and theeye is delighted with beds of flowers, smooth green lawns, shubbery and trees. Coney Island, Brighton Beach and Washington Park, Chicago, have nice dis- plays of flowers, but the infields are not available on account of the steeplechases. The Empire City track from the gates to the grand stand is beautifully laid out with lawns, flowerbeds and plants, and the old apple orchard which had been on the land for years before a traGk was thought of was fortunately re- tained. The Kentucky Association has wisely decided to use the vacant land belonging to the Lexington track for a lawn and beds of flowers The Parkway Driving Club has a pretty lawn and fountain facirg the Ocean Highway and another with beds of flowers between the clubhouse and tbe track. But these are exceptions, and in none of them is the infield utilizt d. The majority of the public go to a race tiack to he amused or pleased and an attractive environment will pay. We go to a theatre to see the play, but com- fortable seats, brilliant lights, pretty drop curtains and handsome scenery are great aids to succet-s. At the track the principal object is the race, but haod- Bome surroundings will increase the pleasure. The best picture in the world looks better with a good frame.— Sports of the Times. Jackson's Napa Soda does not tangle the feet A coach called tbe "Flying Yankee" is to be put on the road this summer between Simsbury and Hart- ford, Conn. The coach itself is a twelve-year-old Concord of the old style, being an exact reproduction of the pattern in use in 1830 and thereby in the same region. So far as is known it will be the only public coach in use in Connecticut. The guard and coach- men will be dressed in tbe style of 1820. Five mem- bers of the Taconic Polo Club orginiated the project of running the coach and one of them will act as yu»rd. While another will supply the horses. The trip will be about twelve miles in length and horses wi'l not be changed, three stops being made en route. Three trips a week will be made. 10 @Dh£ gvee&ev cm& ^pcvt&xnan [May 13, r9(5 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL. Conducted by J. X. De WITT. GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. Coming Events. Bod.

Bain and squally weather last Sunday was not tbreatenlngeaough to keep overthirty shooters from participating Id the monthly shoot of the Golden Gate Guo Club. Considering the uninviting weather conditions the scores shot were very good. The club race wan, as usual, at 100 targets, 50 on the straight bulkhead and 50 under the Sergeant system — the bird* were trapped in sections of 25. In each shoot there was an optional side pool, two mooeys, high guns, a purse of $100 is added monthly by tbe club and Is cut into four equal moneys — one for each class Tne winners were: five high guns in the champion and first classes and the four high guns in the second and third classes.

The card for the first day calls for six events: 1 — Six live birds. $3 entrance, 1 money, high guns. 2 — Northern California Championship, 12 live birds, $2.50 entrance. 3 — 12 live birds, pool, high guns, $7 50 entrance. 4 — 10 live birds, pool, $7 50 entrance, high guns. 5 — 12 live birds, pool, $10 entrance, high guns. All handicap events. 6 — Gibson cup, blue rocks, 10 pairs. For today eleven 20 target races are scheduled, class shooting, save the K -U. trophy race. The final event will be a big merchandise shoot. Tomorrow's program calls for thirteen events, all 20 targets, save the five man team Northern Califor- nia championship match. A merchandise event is on for the day also. A large attendance of shooters will be on hand. The Southern P tcific has granted a special rate to vUiting shooters. Trade representatives may shoot for birds or targets only, otherwise the shoo* is open to all. Blue rock shooters will be segregated into expert, first and second classes. Four sets of traps will be us-d for target events. The high average number of blue rocks for each day — exclusive of the team race — will be 200. The presence of Martines Chick at the recent blue rock tournament at Los Angeles impelled Scribe Hed derley to recount an old time incident id which blue rock imitations made of plaster of paris were used at a trap shoot. In those days the San Diegan was ac- counted one of the best all-round marksmen in Cali fornia. Chick was always a wonderful performer with either shotgun or rifle, and many are the stories told of bis prowess He used never to miss a local blue rock tournament, but of late years has had some trouble with his heart, and his physician has forbidden the scattergun, though the more sedate sport of the target r.fle is permitted Apropos of the days when Chick was a terror to shotgun sharks in California, a veteraD trap shot tells a rather good story. It happened back in the feood old black powder days when tenbores, loaded with five drahms of FFG and an ounce and a quarter of eights were the blue rock prescription. The scene was a little town in the San Joaquin Valley which for present purposes shall be nameless, as must some of the performers. Chick, Roll Organ of Cbicago and several other equally prominent lightsin the shooting world were there for a little tournament, in the course of which a match was framed up with Chick on one end and some of the local sports on the other. In those day- Chick was always good for well over 90 per cent, and he had been shooting right up to his gait until the match came on. Then for some un- accountable reason "Mart" began to miss the birdB. At least he wasn't breaking tbem. Ha swung onto a straightaway about ten feet from the trap and pasted it with the center of the charge, nearly knocking it flat, still tbe bird didn't break nor were Chick's suspicions aroused. At this time a youus fellow came up to him and said: "Mart, I've just $3 left and I'm going to bet it that you break your last three birds." "Don't do it, young man, "Chick requested. He broke the first two all right; the third was a quarterer, and he hit it so hard that the thing was knocked a rod out of its course. The boy who had plunged to thedepths of his pants pocket saw the bird wobble and put up a mighty howl. Before he cnuld be stopped, he had dashed out into the field and retrieved that bluerock, shot as full of holes as a sieve "Look hpre, Mr. Chick. You hit that bird with seven shot," yelled the youngster. Still Chick didn't tumble Odp of the local snooters yelled at the kid to "drop that bird and come in off the field " He did. To cut a long story short, they skinned Chick out of $100, and bis party lost at least as much more on those unbreakable, cast-iron blue rocks Someone hunched Chick off to it that night, but never a peep peeped he Next day all wf re going for a duck hunt, and Chick paired off with the fellow who shot him thematch the day before. When be got bis man out on the marsh, they do £ay Chick compelled 1 im to disgorge the bet b« bad been skinned out of.and the rest of tbe San Dieeo boys managed to get theirs too in various equally effective ways Since then not many have tried to "job" Chick. DOVE SEASON SHORTENED. The Board of Supervisors of Los Aogeles county has taken radical action in the matter of the law regulating the season in which certain game may be killed. The open season for doves is bow limited to one day, August ]5ih, and would have been closed altogether but for the technicality of the law requir- ing an open season. Other hunting seasons were shortened as follows: Deer, August 15th to October 1st; mountain quail, September 1st to October loth; valley quail, November 1st to February 1st. In coustquence of this action there is great diversity of opinion among sport?men with regard to the action of the supervisors in allowing only one cay for dove shooting this season. For tbe most part, tbe board has received nothing but censure for its action in pro- tecting the birds, for the hunters are wrathy at hav- ing their sport cut off, and now tbe shooting men are using every endeavor to bave the ordinance repealed. They say they will be coDtent with two weeks' shoot- ing— from September loth to October 1st. There is a great deal of sentiment surrounditrg the dove. With many it is regarded a^ almoBt a domesti- cated bird. Those who =5tand for protecting tbe dove, 6ay they are great consumers of tbe seeds of pernic- ious weeds. On the other hand it is claimed that doves carry into orchards the San Jose and the Florida or black scale, at any rate, the majority of the people south seem to be for protection, and the board wishes to carry out the will of the majority. One point argued by the agrieved hunters is that protection in Los Angeles county will not protect the doves, because when they get ready they will migrate to grounds where they will be shot any way. It is claimed by some of tbe members of the Los Angeles Game Protective association that tbe law delegating to tbe supervisors the power to shorten the open season is unconstitutional, and it is said they propose to make a test case of this, and, if necessary, carry it to the Supreme court. LANDING A IELLOWTAIL. There he lay in solemn state, his catafalque the stern of a soiled skiff. A finned gladiator gone to rest, the sunlight upon his scaly sides glided like the radiance of polished gold. Beautiful in every outline, a masterpiece of God's own handiwork — a thing to be gazed upon with reverence, and consigned again to the deep in pity that such a courageous creature must give up its life to afford man a few minutes' sport — a huee yellowtail slowly slapped out his life, upon the boat's thwarts, with glassing ejeand feebler tail beats. Game to the core, he fought like a tigtr to the last, and was so spent that turning his poor body loose would have availed but little. Under the lowering lee of Catalina's precipitious cliffs, not far from the Sugar Loaf, comfortably bask- ing in the shade of a mirine forest whose gigantic fronds of kelp make the snuggest of lairs, ready after the manner of his kind to take a chance at anything which looked good, this bold-eyed beauty lay oneday. Anything was fish that came to his net, and presently a sardine strolled along just out of easy reach with a most bewitching wobble, struggling as if hurt A golden scimitar swept with nervous motion from side to sirie; the screw propeller of that big yellowtail whirled in response to the magic mental message, and a pair of horny jaws snapped shut, on a 10 0 O'Saugh- nessy hook! The barbed steel set its way home, tben like a spurred charger the fish sprang swiftly in response. Any where to free him from that unwonted restraint, tbe crazed creature with frantic rush dodged from - side to side, shaking bis head likean enraged bulldog. Down to tbe depths he plunged at top speed; up to the surface he rose, but in vain. Something was biting him in the jiw, and try as he would, the gnaw- ing worry was still there. Suddenly through bis feeble 5sh brain Fped a ray of intelligence Once before he had felt that pin prick, and there was a line attached to it. Maybe there was another Man at the other end. Without waiting, he whirled; tbe tension slackened, and he was free! The fierce joy of it sent him a hun- dred yards to a sudden stop: there it was again— that tantalizing little strain, always yielding to his rushes but never breaking, and ever spurring him on to renewed efforts. That other time, he charged and charged until something gave away. One more rush might do it. Ah ! A hoat loomed up in front. He would dive under her and cut himself free. It was a good trick — to work on women and inex- perienced men But the little fellow in that skiff belonged to the Light Rod Brigade, and fish tricks were his fun. Around the stern he passed the tip, and again the strain told Twenty-five minuT.es of diving and charging, into and out of the kelp like a sailmaker's needle goiDg through canvas, the big yellowtail sped on his way, but tbe rodster ever had a line on his movements. To every rush the pliant stick gave and took strain until at last weak fish flesh could endure no more; deep down in the clear water over the side be ap- peared, clean cut as a cameo in green and gold and silver. Rolling feebly from side to-side like a founder- ing ship, he slowly was lifted to the surface. One weak dive cheated zhe gaff for a moment, but only prolonged the agony; tbe steel hook sunk home, and only one raire yellowtail had ione Mb duly like a soldier — bad died breyely io battle. Tbirtv-two pounds tbe scales said — a big fish that fought for bis ounces as hard as any small one. Will Stearns of Los Angeles was the lucky captor, and ach'eved the trick unon one of tbe lightest rods ever u«ed at this niass of fibbing — so light, indeed, that the wise Ca»alina boatmen prpdicted he could never land a bnnita on It, to snv nothingcf the game he wasafter. Results spoke differently. May 13, 1W5J ®he gveeio&c cutis gyovtaman DOINGS IN DOGEOM. THE 'FRISCO SHOW. The "ninth annual" opened with a rush Wednesday morning and everything was in readiness for the be- ginning: of the ribbon distribution by 2 o'clock. The bench show committee is entitled to much praise for the smooth and even progress of the show. The judging ring was well arranged and the ring steward and his assistants worked quicker and more to the satisfaction of exhibitors than at any previous show of the club W. E. Chute, Dave Sinclair and Louis Haaf had charge of the ring and gates. Tom Ashton went c.ver the classes more rapidly than most of the fancy were accustomed to. He has a good eye for type and style and does not waste time, iD the ring, over lumber or mediocre dogs — we have seen some judges make grand stand plays in letting down easily the owner of a "mut"; forinstance, getting a heavyweight to canter around the ring to show up a seventeen-pound Fox Terrier. An eighth of a mile. of this on a warm afternoon was necessary to let the sprinter know his tyke was "out at elbows" and had bad ear carriage. But back to the sheep again. Quality was a feature with almost every breed. Pointers were good and fairly strong, local entries, particularly some Stock- dale puppies, were well up. In English Setters there was an excellent showing of class. The Eastern Pointers and Setters received much attention. Collies were strong and a quality grade throughout. A better run of Gordons and Irish Setters was apparent this year. The Irish Water Spaniel entry was better in standard and more numerous than ever before. Cockers, fell short two entries from being the largest breed representation. Bulldogs were noticeably good in Coast bred puppies. Fox Terriers was a hot com- petition— Sabine, Norfolk, Wandee and Cairnsmuir kennels entered the lists with their best. In puppies, we were pleased to see the home bred ones raise the dough to quite a degree. Irish Terriers were few but olassy throughout. The presence of "Jim" Lynn, "Charley" Lyndon, "Ben" Lewis and George Thomas gave quite an "all rounder" appearance to the ring. The "boys" are well known and liked here and have been made thoroughly at home. The visit of the Eastern "pros" is worth a lot to a few of thelocal professional handlers, for now the limited repertoire or the local dog man can be enhanced by a few new ring stunts and there will be consequently less reliance on the wise look and "dog slang " A list of awards and report of the show will appeal- next week. A list of the dogs by breeds is about as iollows: St. Bernards 17, Great Danes 17, D.erhounds 1, Greyhounds 5.

The half-tone picture of Ch. Glen Tana Marquis is a strikingly good picture of a very fine Collie. Mar- quis has won golden opinions from Collie judges, but seems to be just a bit without the best consideration of sporting dog judges. He has a grand record of bench show wins at many big shows and is a proven sire Besides his winning progeny on this side he has sired a champion biteh in Scotland. Mr. Griffith has now struck the true fancier's gait, for be proposes henceforth to show only Collies of bis own breeding. At present Glen Tana Collie Kennels have a number of good youog dogs for sale. Mr. Griffith has also decided to dispose of all of his show dogs. Here is an opportunity for the fancy that should not be over- looked. Ii is a matter of regret among many of the visitors at the show this week that a string of Glen Tana Collies were not shown. Among the principal wiis of Marquis are: Victoria, C. K. C, 1905, three firsts and special for best under Judge Birker of New York. Seattle, A. K. C, 1905, first limit and open, reserve winners under Judge, J. J. Lvnn of Port Huron. Portland, A. K. C , 1905, first lim:t, open and winners, special for best, under Tom Ashtoo of Leeds. Spokane, W K L , 1904, three firsts and cup for best Seattle, 1904, four firsts and spec'al for best under Judge James Watson of New York. Portland, A. K C , 1904, three firsts and special for best under Judge James Mortimer of New York. San Jose, W. K. L., 1904, three firsts and special for best, under Judge Turner of Victoria, B. C. Milwaukee, A. K. C, 1904, one first and one second, special for best tri-30lor, under James Mortimer. ••Over the water he won eleven fir -its at Scotch shows, including four firsts at Glasgow, 1904, under Judge Copley. At Arbroath, 1903. three firsts under Tom Ashton. At Bellingham, 1903, two firsts under Judge Sch-ifield. Marquis was whelped April 2, 1902 and is by Ellwyn Carnegie out of Ellwyn Nance. A glance over his pedigree tells why he is the good one he has proven to be. THE DOG BOOK. Messrs. D>ubleday, Page & Co., New York, have published the two parts of The Dog Book, a popular history of the dog, by James Watson, with practical information as to care and managementof house, ken- nel and exhibition dogs, and description of all the im- portant breeds. The work will appear in ten parts, and is profusely illustrated. The first part contains the early history of the dog, the dog in the house, exhibition dogs, managements of shows and buying a dog. The set-up and printing of the book, judging by the first part, is excellent, and the illustrations are reproductions from photographs in a sepia tone that is very pleasing and appropriate to the subjects. Well-known kennels, showing the runs and accommo- dations, are given. The information is practical and exact. As the book is being produced in parts at $1 a number, it is within the reach of all, and will un- doubtedly be found on most dogmen's bookshelves. Those who have been fortunate enough to possess the Count de Bylandt's book, recently published, may well add James Watson's book to their library, as it can be described more as a valuable addition than a rival to that great work. De Bylandt's book is con- fined to engravings and standards, excellently pro- duced, and showing great research. Watson's is a readable work, written in masterly style, in which the veteran and the novice can find equal interest and information. We unhesitatingly recommend the work to all lovers of the dog and suggest to our readers the taking of an immediate subscription for it. A K. C. STUD BOOK, VOLUME 21. We acknowledge the courtesy of the A. K. C, through Secretary Vredenburg.in forwarding Volume 21 of the Stud Book, numbers 77,568 to 84,963 inclu- sive. The rer-eipt of the 1904 list of registrations is a timely one, for we have had several calls for it, and announce that the list is now at the disposal of the fancy for temorary reference, until individual orders may be filled. American Kennel Club Notes. it a meeting of the Rules Committee of the Ameri. can Kennel Club held April 7, 19ub,it was recommended that the following rules governing registration of dogs be made an A. K. C. by-law. Dogs shall be eligible for Stud Book registration if — 1 — American bred, whelped after January 1, 1906, and having registered dam and sire. 2 — Foreign bred dogs must have three generations, certified by Kennel club of country from which they are imported . Ch. Glen Tana Marquis 3 — Dogs not eligible under the above must have won at least three firsts in limit or open, under at least three different judges at recognized shows. 4 — Dogs whelped prior to January 1, 1906, may be regi-tered at any time under the rules in force up to that date. A new by-law is offered as follows: XVTII — Any parson or persons acting in any official capacity, paid or unpaid, including Judge, Secretary, Steward or Clerk of a show, or as an officer or mem- ber of a Bench Show Committee of any club holding a show in the United States of America underany other rules than those of tb.6 American Kennel Club shall be disqualified and debarred from all privileges of the A. K C. With the exception of the routine business, no matter shall be brought up for discussion at any meeting, unless due notice has been given to each delegate at least ten days prior to the said meeting. The foregoing proposed new by-law will preclude a Coast club, for instance, from showing under C. K. C. rules. Under existing circumstances the move will be of benefit, no doubt, for the general interest of Coast dogdom. Amendments to the rules are proposed as follows: Rule XII. Class No. 1 Add a new paragraph: — Puppy classes must be judged not later than the second day of the show. Class No 2 Substitute the following: The novice class shall be for American bred dogs only, never having won a first prize at any recognized show, wins in the p 'Ppy classes excepted. Class No 5. Add after the word "class," in the twelfth line, the words, "uoderthreedifferent judges." Paragraph No. 7 Add new paragraph: — "Shows that do not give mnney prizes in the regular classes sh ill be rated at one-half the schedule of points as designated above " VI. Add the following words: "Except in the case of technical errors where fraud is not shown, i° which case the Secretary shall impose a fine of $5 for each entry.1' Rules XXIV. and XXV. to become Rules XXV. and XXVI. Substitute for the present Rule XXIV.: "The Judges, Secretary, Superintendent and Veterinarian of a show cannot make entries for competition at that show. The Superintendent of any show cannot officiate as a Judge at that show. Page 21, Rule XVI. Section 4. Add the words, "for each entry." Same rule. Add new section: For all errors in the entry torms at shows, where fraud is not shown, $5 for each entry. The committee also recommended the adoption of the following rule, in accordance with the instructions received by it at the late annual meeting: That between the dates of December 1 and December 31 of each year, nominations for the officers of President and Vice-President and the Cbaii man of each stand- ing committee of this Association may be filed with the Secretary of this Association by any delegate whose club is in good standing, and the said Secretary must publish said nominations for the above named officers in the January issue of the American Kennel Gazette of each year. And at each succeeding annual meeting only such names as may have been nominated and whose nomination has been publishea in the pro- ceeding January issue of the American Kennel Gazette, in the manner above set forth, shall be eligible as candidates for said offices, and no other nomination shall be permitted, nor can any candidate other than such as have been announced be nominated. The vote on the above recommendation was four in the affirma- tive. The Chairman dissented. It was also the sense of the committee, that it ia unwise to interfere with the present method of approaching show dater. Portland Show. The Portland show last week is generally credited with being one of the best ever held in that city. Quality and style, both locally and with outside dogs benched, was high class, Collies, English Setters, Pointers, Irish Terriers and Cockers being particu- larly good. Thomas Ashton's awards were generally well received and satisfactory. BLOODHOUNDS— Limit and open dogs and bitches — 1 Mount Vernon Cruiser, J Wesley Ladd. ST.

The third regular monthly meeting of the Golden Gate Gun Club lor the season was held at Ingleside May 7, 1905. Considering the inclement outlook for the day the attendance was exceptional, showing clearly thestrong hold trap shooting has on the Coast among the lovers of blue rock shooting. From Monterey came Messrs. Varien and Greene from Vollejo MeBsrs. O'Hara, Elias, Clark and Ma turkey hens up to a certain age, at which time the poults b^gin to wander. If other broods of poults are with turkey henB, those with the chi ken hen usually will leave their foster mother wander away with a fleck of turkeys, and atay with them. When there is an opportunity for choice, bene that are two years old or over are the beBt to select for hatching eggs. The contiuual strain of four weeks sitting de- manded for hatching turkey eggs is quite a trial of patience and endurance, and while many young hena do their part to perfection, it is safer to trust the task to older hens if you have them. Eggs from hens that are two years old and over pro- duce stronger and more vigorous poultB than do eggs from yearling bene. Whether the eggs are hatched by turkey hens or chicken hena, equal caution should be used to preyent the possibility of insect parasites of any kind being in or about the nest or upon the body of the hen. A dirt foundation covered with Borne slaked lime is a good begiuning in the construction of a nest. Upon thiB should be placed a fresh nest of soft straw or hay. No other enemy is so destructive to the young poulta as lice, which are very apt to iDfeBt them as soon as they are hate ed, if a determined fight ia not made to prevent it. After the poults have begun to grow. they must be watched continually to guard against the presence of the lice. It takes twenty-3even to twenty-nine days for turkey eggs to hatch. Those that are perfectly fresh will hatch a few hourB aooner than those that have been kept a week or longer before placing them under the hena. The eggs are usually fertile; quite fre- quently each egg in the nest will produce a living poult Place under each hen juatas many eggs as she may properly Warranted to Give Satisfaction. BomhauWs Caustic Balsam cover — no more. Some may cover fifteen better than others wilt cover nine. If the nen is given too many eggs, a poor hatch is likely to result. When broody turkey hena are driven from their nests, they are quite likely to quit, their eggs and select another loca- tion where they will nest and lay the second clutch of eggs. Some turkey hem will reaT two broods in a season when permitted so to do Late-hatched poults are not desirable for winter ro sts, nor are they valuable for breeding Btock, but they may be grown for broiler poults and sold to good advantage. While incubating their eggs the hens should be supplied with food and water; these should be placed close at hand where they mry go to them at will; or their coming from the nest, as they will each day, should be observed so that they may be. fed and watered. Good sound wheat and corn are best for their food at this time. The eggs of turkeys can be hatched in incubators quite as well as the eggs of other fowls. It is preferable,. however, to have them hatched by the hens that are t<» brood them; in fact, this is the pre- vailing custom. There is a feeling of con- fidence when the eggs are in the care of a oroody hen which does not exist when artificial methods are employed which depend for Buccess on the care of an attendant. The growing of poults in brooders has been tried to some extent. The diffirul- rie8 in the way are as follows : Tiie poults do not seem to realize that they should loi'K down to the floor for food ; they run about with their head up, peeping con- tinua'Iy for food, until many die from exhaustion. To overcome this, the food is taken between the fingers and held close to the beaks to induce them to eat. This must be done many times a day for several days, to keep them alive and to teach them to eat. Turkey hens that have reared a brood or two usually wilj do better with poults than young hens with their first brood Hens that have had experience make the best mothers, as they pay early and special attention to teaching their young to eat. Some prefer chicken hens to start the young poults, as they devote more attention to teach- ing the poults to eat. — T. F. McGrew. s5*» tr .. Has Imitators But No Competitors.

So that when either the eggs or fowls are offered in market they will bring a fair price. Such fowls are medium in Bize and good layers. Some flocks are killed by kindness. They are overfed and do not have to scratch for a living. It is claimed by some that sunflower- seed is the best of all foods for poultry. There are some who prefer to use the eggs of young, thrifty fowls for hatching. They claim that pullets are at their majoiity when ten months old, and that their eggs are as good as those which are older. There are those who sell all of their flock over one year old every spring, and use only the young for eggs and breeding. While the hen is Betting, the lice have an opportunity to do their best. UnleBS she is dusted with insect powder, they will multiply so rapidly tbat she will do little good, especially when the weather is warm The best time to mark the pullets is as soon as they show their superiority Vety soon they all look so much alike they can hardly be told from each other. The coop for the little chickens should be thoroughly clean. When it has been used for one brood it would be beBt to whitewash it before UBing it for another. in our anxiety to have our hens do their best we often overfeed. Then they are bo fat that thev will not lay. It takes con- siderable judgment to feed poultry prop erly It is a Btudy to give, voungand old, layers and noo-lavers, their proper por- tion. They do amazingly well when it is all thrown down together. But probably would do better if fed separately. Kerosene ie a great friend to the poultry- man. It is especially helpful in keeping down vermin The roosts and theirsup- piuts should be gone over every two or three weeks. The mites should not be permitted to get a start. As yet no commercial food has been manufactured that is equal to a good forage diet for fowls — old or young. The hen's nest should be inviting, if it is not handsome. The hen is more par- ticular that the nest be comfortable rather than picturesque. As soon as the sun begins to shine warm and hot the drinking vessels need to be changed every few hours. The color of the comb is the index of health or not health of the fowls. If the color of the comb is not right the condi- tion of the io 1 is not right. The custom of baking bones is not af good for fowls as grinding them. The ground bone contains all the material necessary for making eggs. Fowls are irregular in tbeir habits of eating. They are always at it, and will eat heartily as often as their crop it empty. When feeding jour chicks the food should not be too Bloppy. Wet corn meal is one of the worst diets that can be given to them. The dry method of feeding young thicks is growing in favor. The feed is nevei made wetter than the crumbling form When fowls are older, the morning ant- night maBh may be made softer. Oat meal, not rolled oats, is the bes- food f..r young chicks. It is a good food ted alone Some mix cracked wheat with ir, and finally cracked corn. There is nothing that will give more pleasure and profit to little incubatoi chicks than to have the floor of the brooder covered with finely cut straw, 01 ch.ver with leaves and heads. Some dr\ feed of some kind may be scattereo through it. In raising chickens, there are few if anythings more important than to keep things clean. After all the important things are done, uncleannesB will undo them all. While chickens enjoy the company of each other, they do better in small flocks and in small lots in incubators. Ovtr- crowding causes disastrous results. Chickens that are poor without being cared for make but small progress in life and Beldom, if ever, become the best egg producers. To have the best resultB with a quick spring growth necessary for the establishment of Bize and vigor, they must be well fed, regularly fed and properly fed from shell to finish. Anything short of thisinsureB an advance to poor growth und poor results all along the line. In Becuring a good supply of egg the inborn tendency of heavy laying is an important point It is a tendency whicl goes in certain strains, the same as in certain families of cattle, and without it no amount of Bkillful care and feeding will produce the best results. Valuable Sheep Experiment. Prof. James W. Wilson, director of the experiment station at Brookings, S D.. is carrying on an interesting experi- ment in sBeep, and the results will be of value to men on the range. His purpose is to fir.d a cross that will be an ideal sheep in wool and mutton for the range. His plan is to cross the ordinary range ewe with six different breeds of pure bred bucks in successive years, treat the limbs in all ca9es precisely alike and observe what the difference is in final results at the markets. The experiment is novel in that the same ewe will be bred to different rams. Flockroasters on tbe ranges of the West have experimented io crost-ii£ mout all the breeds of sheep known atiO til of these various crosses have theii thampions, and so, after all, the grarl I imb of the West i-i as much the product if the individ ual taste as the pure bn d lamb is io the West. — Drovers Journal.

We expect more from the well-bred calf and we generally do more for it, so the better calf brings out better work. Now, while I am speak- ing of the dairy calf, urging that it shall be well bred and well fed, I might say as much for the beef calf, for while I at present am not much of a maker of beef, I know that the calf of the beef breeds that is most likely to do the best in its mission, and do it quickly and with the most profit, is the calf that has been well bred and always well fed, writes W. F. McSparren in Hoard's Dairyman Every year. 1 see thousands of steers that have not had either of these advantages. I eee also many that are well bred, but that have this quality largely neutralized by having been under-fed. But the dairy call? The end in view is to make her grow into a good cow. Her superior breeding is a vantage start, but aft rthat, and toconsummate its promise, care and feed must do the reBt. Good feeding does not mean stuffing. It is as easy to stunt a calf by over-feed- ing as by under-feeding. The calf's feed must be such and of such quantity that both thrift and good health may be maintained. Many a stunt- ed calf, many a sun-fish, pot-bellied calf has grown by very force of ability to aB_ sert her merit; I suppose, into a good cow But we only know what she is. We can- not even guesB what she might have been, or how much her calf-hood handicap dis- counts her mature performance. Twelve or fourteen pounds of butter a weeks marks a good cow, but a twenty or twenty-four pound cow is a very much bett-r one, possibly worth four times as- much. It is for the best cow we must keep working. Expdrienced breeders of cows know they may do their level best in breeding and some of the results be failures and disappointments. But it is ethically true that, other things being equal, the man who does the most is more sure of success than he who fails in some important point. Obviousl) the breeder who has better cows as his object will attain most by taking no chances by relaxation in care of breeding and in sufficient and proper feeding, al- lowing the cow to work out her own destiny. Fortunately we have passed the time when outrageous lies about and concern- ing the performance of individual cows and families of cows were accepted as truth by innocent breeders and dairymen. It was one time an easy matter for a herdsman, whose perquisites depended upon the showing he could make for the cows in his care, to report to his em- ployer, who was generally a city profes- sional or business man, that this or the other cow had made a record for herBell and her owner. But later days hav* brought newer light, and lies are not so current. The good breedB of dairy cows have been graduated into the herds of business dairymen, who often themselves do the feeding, the milking ;nd the test- ing. We now have scientific checks 'ipon big yarns. We know the cow makes her milk from the feed she digests and assimi- lates. We know about the quantity of feed it is possible for even the biggesi eater to use, aod we know further that the cow has never yet been created thai can produce from her limit of feed more constituent matter than nature put into the feed dhe has cou-umed. We know that the cow'h physiological economy is a laboratory into which natural producle enter and from which her products— life, oir»pring and milk are turned out. The character of the naiurul products eaten, together with the cow's individual treat- Ol them, determines the chemical composition of the output. One cow n ore than another will color her milk, or put more water or more fat, or more "ugarinto it. One cow will save more tban another of the total of the elements of her food; but, as I have said, no cow can possibly recover more from her food than nature put in it. These simple truths which along with others we have learned from scientific investigation, are checks against which no one but a fool will make impossible claims. Efairy knowledge has become widely disseminated. We complain often that it spreads slowly, it is true, but when we do that we are estimating the wide field yet uncovered, rather than the other wide field it has already covered. Good d irymen have added great numerical strength to their ranks Good cows have increased and multiplied. They liave grown over into the living-making herds of the working dairymen. From plain farmers all over the land, our papers publish dependable reports of what the cows have wrought. The own- ers of these cows are of course not able to tell just how much more protein -'Bess" can use, three months in lactation, than is required by "Ross," due to freshen in July. "Lady" may show profitable re- turns for 25 per cent more fat than "Queen" and her oyeralled owner never dream of it. He might make determina- tions, if so minded, but he knows the game would not be worth the candle. He knows that while such determinat ons would reflect great credit upon his skill and erudition, they would furnish him no guide in feeding different feed combina- tions to Queen and Lady or the same combinations to Princess. Suffice it for him to know that full feeding throughout the year of a ration palatable, succulent, balanced in protein, carbohydrates and fat, enables his good cows to make him money. Admitting that good cows have multi- plied in the hands of good dairvmen, the fact remains that in view of the vast sums of money expended for imported stock and for fancy bred domestic ani- mals, our number of really extraordinary cows is lamentably small Our teachers of the principles of breeding are fond of proclaiming that one of the fundamentals is that like produces like. If this be not true, then we might as well burn all our pedigree, and neglect the records. But that being true, what in the world be- comes of the droves of "likes'' produced annually in America? That they do not show up in our working herds is no abro- gation of the principle, but that they do not, brings us back to my first proposition of supplementing good breeding with good feeding. We must mind the calf if we would milk the cow. We are breeding in the purple all right, but we are feeding in homespun, patches and rags. The passing of the cattle range and the boom in the sheep market along with'the high prices for all wool and hair-bearing animals has attracted some attention to Angora goats. This branch of the Btock industry passed through a boom three or four years ago which, like all booms, re- sulted in Borne men paying a high price for little experience. Goats are semi- tropical and wh le thriving at high alti- tudes they require good protection from the Bnow and cold of our northern cli- mates. The farmer who bought Angoras in small bands merely for use as brush cleaners and who have studied the busi- ness and given good care have made a success. In New Mexico and Texas where the pasturage is suitable for the goat, great profit has resulted in the busi- ness and it may be carried on there in a large way by experienced men who have proper locations. We can see no occa- sion for war between the cattle and sheep men and those engaged in the rearing of goats because the Angora does a vast amount of good to the mountain and tim- ber pastures by cleaning off the under- brush, fertilizing the soil and giving the L'raxs a chance to grow. — Farmer and STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

IF YOU ABE, BEAD THIS: We wish to call the attention of those interested in Draft Horses that we are fully determined to close out our Stallions in the nest four weeks. In color they are mostly blacks— a few dark greys. One of them a five-year old. Weight 2100 pounds. One of the finest Wb imported has a fine, small head and throat latoh. very short In the back with a draft middle; is clean in the limbs and has been very much admired by all who have seen him. We have two other dark greys that are very much admired 00 account of quality and size. In our collection of thirty head of Stallions the first sales were greys. We have one dark bay with black points, no white; oomtng four years old, weight 2050 pounds. We will guarantee him to weigh at maturity 2400 pounds, He is muoh admired for his fine h»ad and throat latch and short back. His limbs are first-class and in proportion to his body. These Stallions are not like some other breads that we have with the thickest part of the neck at the top end. They have size, quality and endurance. We have quite a number of black stallions, four and five years old, weighing from 1900 to 2000 pounds Their good qualities are too numerous to men- tion. They are as ''fine as peaches," with fine head and throat latch and very olean limbed. We never had a barn of as good Stallions at any place as we have at present in San Jose. These Stal- lions are ready any day for service. People say that there is at present thn brightest prospect for good orops in this country th3t has been for years. Wny will not the farmer improve his horse stock and also the prosperity of the com- munity in which he lives? We now have twenty head of good Stallions to select from. C. F. Slngmaster. the senior member of the firm, has been in San Jose for the past five weeks and is proud to say we havehad extremelv good success In making sales Have met with ooly two fail- ures in making sales and that was sometime ago when people were a little afraid of drouth. We expect the parties to come back now any day, as we have had fine rains and prospects for the farmer and stock raiser never were better. Intending purchasers will do well to come soon and see our stockof horses, and we are very sure they will go home with a good Stallion. Where they pay cash we make a liberal disoount. In our next shipment will be some good registered draft mares. O. O. STATXTTOTXT MANAGER FOR SlNGMASTER & SONS' SAN JOSE BRANCH 127 St. John Street, San Jose, Cal.

The first dam Is a young "brood mare with a record of 2:18^; the I second dam is the dam ot 5 in the list with I recordsof -J: 14,2: 17H, 2:1PM. ~:18?i, 2:27, respec- tively; the 'hird dam was the dam of 6 with, records, 2:21%, 2:2i?:i,2:2t)M etc, was the dam of the great sire Pancoast, who founded a great family, and the good sires Balzec Chief i and Bezant and the good brood mare Cora Mfa; thefourthdam wasthedam-'f McCurdy's ! Hambletonian 2:26L/a, a good sire and also the dam of the great sire Belmont sire of Nut- wood, etc. Hence from his dams have come two great families— the Beimont-Nutwood and the Pancoast-Patnn-Patronage-Prodi- gal families The dam of the sire and the dams of the sires of the first and second dams were great brood mares who were also the dams of other great sires. Venus, the dam of Sidney Dillon, was the damof Cupid 2:18. who oroduced we 1; Lady Bunbt-r, the dam of Guy Wilkes, was the damof Win L., sire of Axtel, and El Mahdi 2:2514 and Declaration, who *vere each toe sire of several gond ones: Do! ly, thpdamof Director, was the dam of Onward •?:25% and Thorndale 2:22, both of which were great sires. The above sires, the sire of this oolt and the sires of the first, second, third and fourth dams, have each produced one or more world record holders. They have also produced many others who were the gamest, the most level headed and the largest money winners In the trottiDg world. The first four trace In the male line to Hambletonian 10 through ancestors which, in each and every genera- tion, have been the best producers of their day and have been better producers than their sires or grandsires. In DILLCARA'S pedi- gree there are six crosses of Hambletonian 10, each of which goes to him through only the best producing lines, and five crosses of Mam- brino Chief, each of which goes to him through dams that have been extraordinary producers. Individually, this young stallion. DILLCARA. is as good as his pedigree. He is of the stout, blocky type, without coarseness, and he is a superb model of his type. He has excellent trotting action and a great degree "f natural speed He has never yet been in the haodsof a trainer, his owner preferring for stock purposes a sire that has never been raced an<1 has enjoyed freedom from the nervous and physical strain of severe drilling and racing, expecting ihat as a consequence the produce will be more valuable Mated with well-bred mares by McKinney. Director Direct and Nutwood DILLCARA'S produce should be as valuable as could be obtained for racing and breeding purposes. DILLCARA will make the Season of 1905 at some place near San Franolsco, not yet decided upon. Limited to well-bred mares. SERVICE FEE »40 For particulars address C.

GREEN'S RUFUS The Baywood Stud, San Mateo OBJECTIONS HAVE BEEN RAISED by a few owners of three-year-old pacers and trotters that took records last year as two-year-olds, because the Los Angeles association has offered purses for three-year-olds without records and provided none for those that won heats and took standard marks last year. It seems hard for an owner that raced a two-year-old to a record last year, to have no chance to race him at the meeting in question, but if these owners will put themselves in the place of many others who were unable to start their colts at all last year will see that their objections are not well taken. There are a large number of three-yeir-olds in train- In? in Southern California that are getting their first work. Many of them had no stake entries whatever, others were sick or lame and not fit to train, and to ask them to go up against tried colts tbat took fast records as two-year-olds would not be exactly fair. The majority of the colts tbat took records as two- year olds last season are in tbe Breeders Futurity for three-year-olds where first money is a pretty rich prize, and many more are entered in tbe Occident, theStanford and the Stallion stakes for three-year old8 at this year's State Fair. Consequently they have opportunities to race where there is good money for those that are among the first four in the summaries. The claim that an owner penalizes his colt by letting him win as a two-year-old can be made in regard to any horse that takes a record. It is this system of penalizing horses that makes racing possible. An owner might as well claim that because he trotted a horse to win every time last year and gave him a record of 2:15 that the $2000 trot at the Breeders meeting should not be for 2:24 class trotters as as he would be barred out. The associations all over the country have not been giving many races for two or three year olds recently except the stakes, and the Los Angeles three-year-old purses are given for colts without records for the especial purpose of giving the green and untried colts a chance to race without meeting colts tbat are known to be crackerjacks. We hope those owners whose colts have records will see this matter as the associations see it. All are striving to build up the harness horse interests and some have provided good purses for two and three-year-olds in which records are no bar. Tbe few purses that are given for colts without records are only a side issue for the colts that failed to show well last year or were not trained. It would be a very nice thing if ad- ditional purses could be given for colts with records, but it must be remaindered that programs must be so arranged as to provide for the most horses and draw the largest number of entries. After a meeting at which from $10,000 to $15,000 in money is distributed to the winners, the managers are very lucky if they find there is no defieit to face. They work hard and do the best they can to please all, but the meetings that pay a profit are so few and far between that they are like angels visits. Neither the Los Angeles or the Breeders Association can arrange a program that will sui„ every individual owner, but they have done the very best they could under the circumstances and it is more than probable tbat any change in either program as already published would give offense to many more persons than it would please. Los Angeles has not provided for record three-year-olds at its early meeting it is true. Let us suppose, however, that a change were made ana the purses be left open to all three-year-olds, and such colts and fillies as Bon Voyage 2:15, Jack Axworthy 2:15} and a few others of that calibre were brought here to race. How about the objections that would be raised then? Would they be numerous or other- wise? We think if our friends who own three-year- olds that £ot mirks as two-year-olds last season will reflect a little on this subject they will see that in the present condition of things ia California, where theie area half dozen rich stakes for three-year olds in which records are no bar, there is no injustice intended or implied in the Los Angeles associaiion offering a few small purees for three-year-ulds without records. "TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS has been divided into * purses for t'-ouers and pacers 10 compete for at Fresno at a, meetiug to be given oy the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association in July. The date has been set so that a week will intervene be tween tbe L-rs Angeles and the Breeders meetings. The main events are a $1500 puree for 2:20 pacers and one of the same value for 2:24 class trotters. The Di- rectors of the Breeders Association make these laige purses for blow clashes each year to build up the breeding and training interests of the State and they are doing tbe work intended For horses that can trot in 2:10 or pace in faster time there is an oppor* tunity to win many thousands on the Grand Ciicuit every year. Big stakes for the slow classes are there- fore necessary to bring out the green horses and they have been very successful every sitce they were in- augurated. George G-, winner of the 2:24trot of 1903 and Morosco, winner of last year's race for tbat class at the Breeders meetings, will meet the big guns of the Grand Circuit this year. Ben F., the winner of the 2:20 pace of 1903, was a good winner East last season, and will be there again after first money. Besides the two purses of $1500, there are six for $800 each, two of $600 each and one, a new departure, a selling race for $400. Fresno, where this meeting is to be held, is one of the important inland cities of California. It contains 25,000 inhabitants and is the center of the world's greatest raisin producing section. It has fine hotel accommodations, and one of tbe fastest trotting tracks in America. Every horseman should make it a point to enter his horses at tbe Fresr o meeting this year. Entries close June 15th and the full prgram will be found in our advertising columns. ANEW RACE TRACK is now being constructed at Davisville. Mr I. B. Hughes has leased the property known as Olive Park, just adjoining that town, and engaged a surveyor to lay out a three- quarter mile oval track. The lined were surveyed this week and the graders have already commenced work. A baseball field and trap-shootir g grounds will be provided on the property. Mr. Hughes proposes to to make Olive Park a first class place for training and racing and desires the support of all interested in clean sports. MONDAY IS THE LAST DAY for making entries to those $1000 purses to be raced for at Los Angeles in July. You can't get any of that $16,000 if your horses are not entered. It will be the opening meeting- of the circuit and one of the best ever held in the State. And the money is in the bank. Send your entries to Secretary A W. Bruner and see that they are mailed Monday. The program is among our advertisements. Doc WilliamB has purchased the stables formerly occupied by Grant Lapham at tbe Alameda track and will take horses to train for the road or track. These stables are very convenient to San Francisco, Oak- land and Alameda residents, being reached by ferry boats, steam and electric cars at frequent intervals. Tom Knuckles has also bought one of those popular No 15 McMurrays from the Kennoy Bicycle Co., 531 Valencia St. A Merchant's Story of His First Colt. A congenial company of horse lovers were gathered together a few evenings since, the subject of conver- sation being the early experiences of each as a horse lover— natural or acquired. It did not take lonf bo discover that the horse love was inbred and inspired in each breast Of early experiences that of John B Davis, the wholesale dry goods dealer, was interesting. Said ne. "Our folks were farmers down in central New York— the most picturesque and beau- tiful country outdoors. Father was a devout Chiistian and faithful follower of the lowly Nazarene, and, as might be expected, we children accompanied our par- ents to church regulaily. Well do I remember the strictness pervading our home ou Sunday. No baking, boiling or unnecessary cooking or unnecessary work of any kina was ailuwed indoors or out on Sunday. As aaort of 'DlacK aheep' I early in life contracted the naoit ul 'driving out' Sunaay afternoons, and even though lather anew that the cause of these urives — the company of the country giru — was me not to bo interfered with, yet, tumetuw, be always auimiaeu thai, tne driving ol 'my colt' had about as iiiuun to do with the&e excursions as the pleasure of a country maiden's society. And ue was right lor 1 can't recall a boy in all our Sediun ol tne country whom 1 uid not cuoiptl to take olt Sunuay aitcrnoou dust. And this speeu ability of 'my colli' Was a puwerlul u rawing card, 1 tell y ju; for no 1, a girl within ten miles lounu hut longtd for a ride behiuu 'my ouU' — aod 1 gue-^s they were all accummo- uaied at one time or another. The speed uf "my uolt' puffed me up with pride whtcu 1 have alway s toougnt paruouahlt , and so, in tQa fall, when our couniy lair wus in progress, I ^fiOCKed my father auu woueued his houest church priue wouucrlully. To one of my sisters I confided the secret that 1 was yoing to uiive 'my colt* in the i-aaa for [county-bred and County -owned horses. Just had lu tch someone at home, anu she was the only o_e of our family wuo wouldn't as »oon ?ee me go to jail as see me ui^raee the lamily oame by taking ialeresi in a horse r&C-. Well, the day came, and father drove to town in the light dciuucrai wagou, wnie I Lock my sisttr in the carriage d 1 awn by my coll.' When the couDty raee was called, tuere wis I in the thickest of the fray, and father dumb with astt.LULnunt and wounded pride. And yet, as we wtre scored down for toe woru, 1 saw latuer 1 igut upal thefrontand just as near the wire as he Conlu get. Of course, 1 won the race, and two happier hearts never beat in unison. Father relented sufficiently to postpone bis day of remonstrating with me, hut it just hau Lo come, and I took his well meant au vice silently. A few days alter this, fatter tuid me to hitch 'my colt' alongside one of the big far m horses and we'd go to the woods after a load ot green rails As you know, the roads in that country are either up hill or down hill. The trials of 'my colt' on this particular day pierced my heart, for she fretted and snorted and showed her wounded pride in being knocked about over the stony roads. Finally we came to a sharp hill, and it was a hard one on the horses with ik.a heavy load pushing thtm down the rough, steep and stony road. Arriving at the bottom 1 stopped the team to rest before beginning the mad rush necessary to haul the load up the sharp hill before us. 'My colt' was foaming and chafing, and as I patted and soothed her I, for the first time in my life, dtcided to revolt and openly defy my father. Throwing down the lines I saia: 'Father, I haven't got the heart lo punish 'my colt' any more, and if ever the team pulls this load u^ that bill you'll have to whip them to it, for I can't be so cruel. ' ■'My words came like a thunderbolt to father, who said quietly: 'John, what do you mean, son — why do you talk to your father about cruelty to the horses?' 'Father,' said I, 'you lectured me about the cruelty of driving 'my colt' in ibe couniy ract, when you know tba'- every inch of that race was as thoroughly enjoyed by her us it was by me Now here we've been cruelly tieaiing her all afternoon until she chafes and foams and sweats. This hill is more than I can stand and I can't linger be 1 party to the ill treatment of 'my colt ' If ever this load goes lo ihe top of that hill, you'll have to do tbe drivino.' To make a long story short, father suggested that we unload part of the rails, and then yently as he could he touk the lines and drove hi me with tbe load while I fe.-udged on behind. I left home soon after to accept a situation at the country store, but father never after that day s-aid a word to me about cruelty or the wickedness of a county horse race." — £ J. Tippettin Sunday Timcs-Bec. Joe Cuicello of San Francisco slipped down to Los Angeles this week and purchased from Mr. W. H, Winn of that city tbe very promisingsixyear-old mare Mabel W. by Zombro 2:11, dam Grac? Kaiser, tbe dam of Coney 2:02, Stipulation 2:11$, McZeus 2:13, and Grace McK. 2:21$, and grandam of Tidal Wave 2:13$. She trotted a trial miie in 2:19 on Tuesday just before Mr. Cuicello closed the bargain, and has shown a mile in 2:16}. Horsemen in Los Angeles says she is a great trotter, although somewhat nervous, and with carefu preparation will be able to trot three heats better than 2:15. The price paid for Mabel W. was $1500. ; "Senator" Helman has ordered from the San Fran- cisco Wheel and Novelty Co. a handsome No. \Q% speoial Flower City sulky, with which he expects to win some fast races with Mack Mack. Lea 2:131, a full sister to Sidney Dillon, has been bred to Star Pointer 1:59} this year. (the gSxvcbcr attXf gtjttrrtsmtau fMAY 20, 1906 JOTTINGS. LOU DILLON was worked four heats at San Jose, last Saturday, for the first time this year, and they were in 3:30,2:22,2:17 and 2:15. The last heat was the fastest the chestnut champion had been asked to step up to that time, since she has been in Budd Doble's charge and she did all the work so nicely that she cooled out inside an hour afterwards and was put away in her stall by her faithful caretaker, Ed Molloy, who says the queen of all trotters never looked or lelt better since he has been with her. Horsemen, who have not seen her since she was breaking records on the Grand Circuit, marvel at the improvement in her manners that Mr. Doble has effected. Before each heat he scored her down a time or two, always at the trot, pulling up and turning her around at the first eighth pole, walking her back up the stretch each time, the mare behaving in the best possible manner. In her heat in 2:17, which was the third, she stepped the last quarter in just 31 seconds, with Mr. Doble coaxing her to go a little slower but not pulling. After she had been put away in her stall, a man who has made the guessing of the weight of horses a life study, looked her over and said she would weigh 900 pounds and he was willing to wager she would not vary five pounds from that figure if put on the scales. Molloy told him she was weighed two weeks ago and tipped the beam at exactly S95. She seems to be gaining in flesh a little all the time, although she gets considerable work. Mr Doble be- lieves in plenty of wortt but not of the exhaustive sort. If there is a trainer in the whole country who understands the art of making speed by going slowly, it is Budd Doble. A friend of mine once remarked that it required both brains and patience in the super- lative degree to make a first-class trainer, and if any man in the horse business has these requirements it is the quiet gentleman who gave Dexter, Goldsmith Maid, Nancy Hanks and Kinney Lou their champion records. He says that Lou Dillon will probably go East about the first week in June The date has not been 6et. He desires to have the little mare in con- dition to stand the fast miles she will he asked to trot after she reaches Cleveland, and thinks a mile in 2:10 will be the limit of the speed he will require of her for that distance while she is in his charge. Mr. Doble will not go East this year. The mare will be sent in care of Ed Molloy who knows her every whim, and for whom she shows unmistakable affection. If any- one doubts tbat the champion mare lacks this characteristic, he can have his doubts dispelled by a visit to her quarters. She has learned to like Mr. Doble and showed this within a week after she came in his charge. I saw him stand ten feet from her and gently call "Lou! " She was half dozing at the time, but lifted her pretty head and turned it with ears for- ward, while her eyes rested directly on him, and then stepped toward the stall door and reached out her nose for a caress Lou Dillon's gait is the wonder of every horseman who sees her at work The manner In which she crosses her front legs in walking and when at speed would lead one to imagine many boots would bt required. When her left foot is picked up, it Is carried around and put down in a manner that looks very much as it it was put down across and to the right of the right foot, and she moves the right In the same manner. The instantaneous photographs taken of her year before last show that her front legs are actually crossed when in her greatest speed flight. The more one looks at the mare and studies her peculiarities, the stronger becomes the conviction tbat she Is In a class by herself in more ways than one. Kinney Lou 2:07}, the fastest horse by the records, barring Luu Dillon, that is now at the San Jose track, ha-. I.ad more mares this year than he did last, up to this time. He Is such a 6ure horse, and bis foals such good lookers, tbat he will be one of the popular stal- lions as long ai Mr. Doble keeps him In the stud. Never has a horse been In better condition than this great son of McKlnney Is right now. Mr. Doble Intends raclog him down the Grand Circuit in 1906, and will begin preparing him as soon as tl season Is over. He had not driven Kinney Lou out of a jog since last fall until Saturday, when the horse was foaling so well that he let blm step along the last eighth of a very 6low mile. P. W. Belllngall, the San Francisco customs broker, :med him tbat eighth in 16J seconds, and Kinney Lou tbat few noticed be was going: has the finest legs and tbe finest coal of hair of any of the McKlnneys, while his noble Bensll - to me a mode!. Mr. Doble says that Kinney condition is due in a great measure to his can who came to California with bin. winter and has been almost Inseparable from the horse ever since. "Billy" as Doble calls him is one of those quiet men who says little but does much. There is not a soiled hair from the tip of Kinney Lou's etrs to the heel of his hind hoofs when Forbes gets through with him and the white on his hind ankles is as spotless as pure snow. Those who saw the horse when he first returned from tbe East, with but little flesh on him, and his skin lumpy and blotchy as the result of the catarrhal fever he had been afflicted with, would not recognize him now in tbe perfectly ordered and immaculate coated equine that shares with Lou Dillon the stalls that are the centre of attraction now at the San Jose track. One cannot help but wish, as he looks them over, that he might own a foal from Lou Dillon and sired by Kinney Lou. It would be a "Lou Lou" to a moral certaintv. Fred Chadbourne, who is working a string of twenty-odd horses at Pleasanton, took a needed day off last Saturday and visited the San Jose track. From him I got the information that the Longworth pacer worked in the Salisbury string this winter, but turned over to Chadbourne when that string left for the East, is Alford D. and not Alford C. Fred tells me these two horses are both by Longworth. Alford D. is a dark bay horse fully 16 hands and will weigh about 1150 pounds. He worked a mile for DeRyder in 2:09£ before the latter went East, and had been priced to James Butler by his owner, Mrs. Dietz of Oakland, for $5000. Butler got the idea that as Alford D. had been raced he might be of the sucker order, and refused to write his check, but Mr. Salisbury was anxious to take him nevertheless. Alford D. 's owner refused to let him go, however, unless the coin was paid in advance, and her representative visited Pleas- anton and turned him over to Chadbourne. Fred thinks pretty well of him and would like to race him here, but no definite arrangements to that end have been made. A'ford D. has a record of 2:12£. Alford C. is a black horse and his record is 2:12A. A letter from Mr. J. H. Thompson of Riverside, Cal., received after the above was written, corroborates what Fred Chadbourne says about the two horses and adds that Alford C 2:12£ was owned by him, was sold and went to El Paso, Texas, for a while, but is now owned at Highland, California. No owners in California get any more keen enjoy, ment out of their horses than Capt J. H. Bennett and his partner, Capt. H. W. Goodall, members of the firm of Bennett & Gcodall of this city. The two visit San Jose every Saturday to work out their horses — Dr. Hammond 2:12J, owned by Capt. Bennett, and the pacer Uncle John, owned by Capt. Goodall. Both these horses are by Charles Derby and were bred at Oakwood Park Stock Farm. Dr. Hammond took his mark at Salem, Oregon, in 1903, but did not start last year. Uncle John started once last season, but failed to get a record. They are looking in prime condition at present and on Saturday worked a nice mile in 2:16J, although Capt. Goodall denies going that fast, as he was a little behind at the finish. Dr. Hammond was always a fast horse, and his condition this spring is batter than it ever has been, so the chances for a reduction in his record are very good. One of the nicest big mares in training in California this year is Mrs. Frank H Burke's Wanda II, an own sister to The Roman 2:09J. She is a square going nice mannered trotter and if no accident happens her will by the close of next year, put another 2:10 per- performer to the credit of old Wanda 2:14J — one of the favorite trotters of her day in California. Pat Davis is caring for and driving this young mare and has three or four others out of Wanda tbat will be record members of her family. One by Iran Alto is considered "the goods." Solita an own sister to Wanda broke her leg at the Burke La Siesta Farm last week and had to be shot. Solita had a trotting record of 2:27 and was one of five standard performers produced by the great broodmare Accident by Elmo Mr. F. S. Granger, the new manager of the San Jose track is working quite a force of men on the improvements. A big archway has been erected at the entrance to the grounds, the avenue leading from this gate to the track has been widened, graded and graveled, the grandstand is being newly roofed, and painters will soon be at work on all the buildings. When the work which Mr. Granger has laid out is done, San Jose track will be the most complete and best appointed In the State for training horses as well a> for racing. The big grove of trees within the grounds is to be fenced and made into a resort for picnics, etc. Quite a number of new stalls will be erected and tbe entire premises cleaned up and made neat. Secretary A. W.Bruner and Ed U. Smith, of the Los Angeles Harness Horse Association, reached San Francisco this week on a tour of tbe State in the in- terest of the big meeting their association will hold during the first week in July The Los Angeles people go about things in the right manner. They are boomers and boosters from habit and principle, and whether they are in the real estate or the horse busi- ness they attend to business in a way that arouses enthusiasm among those with whom they come in contact. They are thoroughly interested themselves, perfectly confident that success will follow their efforts, and naturally everyone is glad to see them and ready to get in and help them boost. Mr. Bruner tells me tbe horsemen have received him and Mr. Smith with open arms wherever they have been and they are assured of a nice fist of entries and the biggest harness horse meeting California has seen for many a day. They have visited Fresno, Sacramento, Woodland, Dixon, Santa Rosa, San Jose, San Francisco and Pleasanton besides taking many side trips to small towns along the route and say that it is the same thing everywhere — nothing but good words ftnd praise for the new association of Los Ange- les horsemen who have put up their money to the tune of $15,000 in cash to assure the success of the opening meeting of the circuit. If this meeting is the success they hope it will be, and it don't take a fortune teller to make a certain prediction that it will be greater than they figure on, they propose giving a meeting in November that will he a fitting close to the year's harness racing in the United States. They have already received assurance that five of the big Grand Circuit Stables will come to Los Angeles in November and take part in the fall meeting, and they expect to draw some of the fastest trotters and pacers in the country to their city to winter each year. Mr. Bruner says that the Los Angeles association aspires to eventually give two $5000 purses each year, one for trotters and one for pacer=, that will draw the best horses from the Grand Circuit to the Los Angeles November meeting. These Southern California horse enthusiasts deserve all the support and encouragement that horse owners and trainers can give them. They have instilled new life into harness racing on the Coast and made a good circuit possible. We hope they will be nble to organize a California Circuit, as has been often suggested, and to which idea they have given their endorsement. If they ever take hold of the proposition they will do it. Such a circuit is sadly needed here, and all tbat is required is competent leadership to make it a go. There is much talk about Helen Keys the green five- year-old mare by Sidney Dillon tbat went East in the Butler string and that Charley DeRyder, Mr. Butler's trainer, thinks is capable of a mile in 2:05 this year if she starts, which is doubtful, as they now intend keep- ing her over until next year. She is out of a mare by Piedmont, but none connected with the Butler stables knew just what mare, and as Santa Rosa Stock Farm had three or four mares by that horse, the identity of Helen Keys' dam could not be established by anyone in the Butler stables. I met George Ramage of Pleasanton one day this week, and knowing that he was with the Santa Rosa Stock Farm for years and knew every mare and foal tbat was produced there up to the time of Henry Pierce's death, T asked him about Helen Keys' dam. "Helen's dam is Diva by Piedmont," he replied, her second dam Prima Donna by Mohawk Chief, and ber third dam old Mater Occi- dentis, the dam of Occident 2:16|, once the worlas champion trotter." Diva was bred at Palo Alto Farm and sold to Mr. Pierce years ago. Nearly all her foals have been fillies. She has had two or three by Directive a son of Director and one or two by L. W. Russell, son of Stamboul. Helen Keyes was purchased at a sale of Santa Rosa Stock Farm horses in June 1903, by Mr. Gray of Oakland. She was a three-year- old at that time and the price paid for her was $230. She was inclined to pace at times but trotting was ber favorite gait and she moved like a piece of machinery as a three-year-old, worked with an open bridle and seemed afraid of nothing. She stands nearly 15.3 and while like Lou Dillon in color and markings is a much larger mare every way. H. Grand Circuit Dates-.

If put in a com- petent trainers hands this horse should pace below 2:20 without much trouble and 2:15 should not stop him. If there is anything in breeding the handsome filly Lilly Dillon by Sidney Dillon out of the great brood- mare Lilly Stanley 2:17£ that is in Mr. Zibbell's string at San Jose ghould trot fast, and she gives every sign of doing it. Lilly Stanley was a great race mare in her day and has produced Rokeby 2:13|, Beet 2:16£ and On Stanley 2:17J. Fourteen horses belonging to Sterling R. Holt's Maywood Stock Farm are in training at Memphis. Among them is the four-year-old Sterling McKinney and several two, three and four-year-olds by Rex Americus2:ll£. These are all coming along very well for trainer Charles Maberry and a number of good campaigners should develop. A rumor was prevalent around Oakland and San Francisco last week to the effect that Mr. C A. Durfee, former owner of McKinney 2:11^, had been exposed to automobilious fever during the past week and was showing symptoms of having a slight attack. It is to be hoped that nothing serious will develop as it is feared the disease would go very hard with him. John Phippen has nearly twenty head of trotters and pacers in bis string at San Jose, several of which will be raced this year. A pacer called Fred Chase works like a winner already. J. C. Linneman, President of the Lima, O , Driving Club and a well known Ohio breeder, has been elected to fill the vacancy in the Board of Directors of Appeals of the American Trotting Association caused by the death of J. W. Fleming, of Columbus, O. William Leech of Marysville has recently engaged in the hardware business there and is doing well. He is breeding a few horses every year and will work a few this summer among them Baron Bretto 39103. Silver Bellp, Hiawatha and Ancona by a son of Mc- Kinney. His mare Jennette by Ottawa recently dropped a dark bay colt by Baron Bretto that is a good looker and should be a fast one. A correspondent writing from Marysville says that a Driving Club is being organized there with twenty- five names of the citizens of the town aiready on the roll, and it is bound to be a success. The Marysville track has recently been put in good shape for work- ing horses, and much interest is being taken in train- ing bv the breeders and owners of that section. It is desired to hold a two-day meeting for local horses in June. There are some fast horses owned in Yuba and Sutter counties, and the announcement of a local meeting will put many of them in training. Mr. P. W. Bellingall was at the San Jose track, last Saturday, driving his mare by Secretary that Jack Groom is caring for this year and is being bred to Budd Doble's stallion Kinney Lou. This mare has a burst of speed at the trot that is not exceeded by any horse at the San Jose track, barring Lou Dillon, but she was spoiled when a filly and is difficult to control. She outbrushed a trotter in the stretch, last Satur- day, that was timed the last quarter in 32J seconds and was pulling a heavy cart. Her foal next" year by Kinney Lou should be worth a lot of money. Peo 2.21, the game little pacer owned by Chas. W. Paine of the Fashion Stable, Sacramento, fell and broke his neck on the Riverside road near that city one day last week. An automobile came teaming toward him and he shied a little and tripped, falling with the result stated. Peo was ab1 ut seventeen years old but was known as the King of the Riverside, and few horses could head him pulling two in a buggy.. M. D Wisdom, editor of that excellent journal the Rural Spirit of Portland, Oregon, and Superintendent of the Live Stock exhibit at the Lewis & Clark Ex- hibition, reached San Francisco this week on a visit to the leading live stock breeders of this State in the interests of the big exposition. Mr. Wisdom reports that California breeders will be well represented at the show which will be the greatest ever held on the Coast. At Phoenixviile, Pa., there is in training a black pacer called Black Dart that should do He is by Directum 2:05£ from MisB Copeland 2:25£, dam of Copeland 2:09i, and grandam of Major Delmar 1:59$. The Los Angeles people are making an effort to make their track a winter resort for Eastern horse- men. It is said that four or five Grand Circuit strings will winter there after the close of the racing season of 1905. It is probable that Mr. J. De La Montanya's horses, now in training by Jack Curry at San Jose, may not cross the mountains this year but race in California. The more prominent members of the string are Tuna 2:08*, Brilliant Girl and Bain, all trotters. The handsomest picture of the great mare Sweet Marie 2:05| that we have yet seen is one taken by Mrs. C. L. Jones of Modesto, during a recent visit to Los Angeles in company with her husband, who is pro- prietor of the Jennie Lee Stock Farm. Mrs. Jones is strictly an amateur with the camera and her Los Angeles pictures are among her first attempts. We will produce this picture in the pages of the Breeder and Sportsman at a future date. Jack Curry visited Santa Rosa Stock Fsrm last week and purchased for another party the two four- year-old McKinney stallions Carakina out of Biscarl by Director, and Ruskin out of Russie Russell by Bay Rose. The first named is a pacer and the other a trotter. The pacer is one of the best prospects in California and is one of the best bred McKinneys living. The horses were shipped to San Jose and will join the string of Mr. de la Montanya if his horses are shipped East There is no class of horses anywhere in the world today nearly so popular as the trotters, and as years pass 'on their popularity will still increase, says an ex- change. As long as speed commands the price it does there is nothing hazardous in breeding for and pro- ducing it. The usefulness of the trotter when devoid of a great amount of speed makes the chances in breeding this class of horses still less risky, for a well bred trotting horse of moderate speed usually makes valuable carriage, farm and road stock. Early this month W. O. McCann, manager of the Hartman Stock Farm stables at Albany, Oregon, shipped two of his best stallions to Montague, Cal , where they will be kept. Ogolin, a black Percheron, is one of them and was sold for $4400, and the other is a dapple gray which was purchased for $3800. both going to Mrs. L. Terwilleger's stock farm near Monta- gue. Under the supervision of Mr. McCann a branch barn for the Hartman farm has been established at Eureka, California, the same to be the home of some of the stallions now in the Albany stable. Professor Osborn says that right in the British Isles has been discovered, as a new series, the Celtic pony. This is a finely built animal, with an Arab-like head, eyes to the fore, well shaped muzzle, and a well- set tail; the chestnuts are reduced or entirely missing and the wolf teeth are absent. The mares are fertile only with stallions that have some Celtic blood in them. The Shetland pony does not belong to this tribe. The new half-mile track which has recently been constructed near San Lorenzo on the property of Mr. John Marlin, and which was built under the personal supervision of Mr. P. J. Williams, the veteran horse- man and owner of Monterey 2:09£, is pronounced a fine track by those who have seen it. Twenty stalls have been erected, and there will be a demand for more. Mr. Williams is training three young MontereyR there. Laud Gates, a young stock breeder of Modesto, who has quite a love for a good trotter, has his mare Dew- drop by Richard's Elector in Willard Zibbell's string at San Jose and visits the Garden City once in a while to see her work out. Dewdrop trotted a nice mile in 2:23, last week, and beats her former trial every time she is given a mile. Willard says she can go a full mile at any rate of speed she can show for a quarter and can go several of them. C. C. Crippen has a string of four horses at the San Jose track that he is getting into condition to show speed with. He has an iron gray mare by Leonel 2:17£, out of Lady Dwyer by Men]o, second dam Silver, the dam of Marin Jr. 2:13 and Hattie F. 2:is, by Silverthreads third dam Gertrude, dam of Native Son 2:29i, by The Moor, that is one of the handsom- est trotters in California. She would be a prize win- ner in any buggy horse parade. A couple of Alameda county Portuguese who own pretty good roadsters decided a $200 match race between their trotters last Sunday on the five-eighths track at 16th street, Oakland. All the drivers of vegetable wagons in the county were present with their friends and acquaintances. There were prob- ably 2000 in the crowd when the race came off The winner, a hay mare, won her two heats in 2:00 and 1:55. The distance was three-quarters of a mile. Massachusetts was always the center of the trotting horse interests of the country, says an Eastern turf writer. Back in the fifties, in Cambridge, Mass., was a mile track, the first in New England, and it was there that many of the most noted knights of the sulky first became famous. Old Hiram Woodruff, in company with George Wasseon, ran the track for several seasons. It was there, too, that "Bill" Wood- ruff first mounted the sulky. And Carpenter, and his two sons, Tom and John, trained and raced there as did Dan and Ben Mace. It was also a great place for foot racing. About 1856, John Stetson, who later became a power in the theatrical world, ran a ten mile race for a large purse against a New York crack and was defeated by nearly a mile, much to the disgust of the Boston sports, who had backed Stetson heavily. Pat Foley is keeping busy at the Alameda track where he is standing the two good McKinney stallions Montesol and Pole Star and also training a number of high class youngsters- He has the handsome three- year-old filly Lady Montesol by Montesol out of Lady Bird by Winwood; Major Montesol, a two-year old stud colt by Montesol out of Lady Galindo by Abbots- ford Jr.; Povoline, a three-year eld gray filly by Chas. Derby, out of Clementine by Yosemite; Bessie (6) by Mendocino: April by Chas. Marvin, and a four- year-old sister to Pole Star by McKinney, dam Mountain Hare by Venture Mr. Foley has just taken up the trotting mare Lady Grannard (3)2:23 by Mc- Kinney out of Igo by Antevolo 2:19 and will probably race her this year. She has developed into a hand- some big mare, is sound and in good shape apparently and should trot to a fast record this fall as she beat 2:18 in her three-year-old form and has shown quarters at a 2:05 clip. Horsemen are coming more and more to realize the fact that Yolo county offers great opportunities for them, says the Woodland Mail. This was shown in the establishment of the Woodland Stock Farm by Alex Brown at the local race track and that of the Yolo County Stock Farm by John Mackey and Walter Jehnings Now comes the announcement that another farm for stock breeding purposes is to be established. E. J DePue of the Yolo Orchard and G. H. Sprague of Sonoma county are the prime mnvers in the new entprprise. They have leased the W. E Lowe ranch of 80 acres, known as the Eakle Farm, and will begin operations about October 1st. Messrs DePue and Sprague have been engaged in the stock breeding business in Sonoma county for some time, but they will now move all of their stock to their new farm. They have two stallions and twenty-nine mares, all of high class, and expect to increase graduallv. They will erect a number of buildings requisite to the suc- cess of the business. The farm will be devoted principally to the breeding of coach horses They own the hackney stallion Manchester and a number of well bred trotting mares. Mr. T. J. Crowley, one of the Directors of the P. C. T. H. B. A., had great hopes of having a colt of his breeding start in the Breeders Futurity foi three- year-olds this year, but the colt took sick during the winter and at present does not look as though he could be ready for that important event Pemberton, as the colt is called, has lately been sent to Jack Groom at San Jose, and will have every opportunity to get into condition if possible, but the time is rather short. Pemberton is gaining flesh under Groom's good care, but it will take several weeks to make bim look as round and plump as a threp-year-old ought to look when in shape. The disease left htm weak, and the blotches around his npek and jowls show that he had a pretty severe attack. He is a tall, angular fellow now. but his trainer says he is a natural-born trotter and he would have great hopes of getting some of the money with him were he entirety well and strong. He is a richly bred one. being by Bnv- dello 2:145 out of Lottie Parks 2:16$ by Cupid 2:18, and therefore related to both the only two-minute trotters. Groom's string is growing. He has the old campaigner Liegp 2:12* looking better than ever, and will get some of the 2:13 class money with h! year. 8 oObieD'sMulllg&D 3 LU. tnd Gray Dick alsoslarted. Time-.

Bt ZO.MBHO 2:11 One of the Good Green Trotters to be Raced In California This Season Sidmore and Marchioness. Two weeks ago we printed a letter from Mr. John Oil, of I'uli Cal., Inquiring about the mare Marchioness as to whether she was sired by his horse Sidmon- B:17|. She Is given In the Year Book as by Sldmore, and from tbe following letter from F. Haney written to Mr Oil and printed at his request, we judge that there would be little trouble about estab- lishing the fact. Tbe Year Book gives the year of Bldmore'a foaling, however, as 1890, and If this Is correct he could not bo the sire of Marchioness who l.il in 1«9I Mr. Haney, however, states ho was foaled In 1898 It is possible the War Book Is incorrect In this Mamie Harney had a foal In 1888 by Sid iey and we believe she had two or three foals by thit horse. Her foal ol 1888 was a bay with near 'ikle white. If this description fits Mr. Ott's Sidmore, he is undoubtedly the sire of Marchioness. Mr. Haney 's letter follows: Modesto, Cal., May 7, 1905. John Ott, Esq , Pacheco, Dear Sir:— I noticed an article in tbe Breeder and SPORTSMAN inquiring about Marchioness, oDce owned oy tbe late Lee Shaner. I know a great deal about the mare and also Sidmore, as I was a trainer at Petaluma when they were colts, and as I think one horseman should help another will give you the in- formation. I know Marchioness was foaled in 1890 or 1S91 — I am not sure but can find out. She has a two- year-old record of 2:29} and was, I think, the fastest yearling the world has ever seen. When eleven months old she trotted a quarter of a mile in 37.] seconds to harness, and could show a 2:16 clip beside a cart with jockey stick, the way Shaner most always worked his colts. She was sired by Sidmore, which I Endorse the Selling Race Plan. Woodland, Cal., May 14, 1905. Editor Breeder and Sportsman — The selling race for trotters to be given at the Breeders meeting at Fresno has been discussed very freely by the horse- men of Woodland, and all are enthusiastic for that kind of a race. The majority, however, favor a slight change in the conditions. In order to prevent a high-class trotter from entering this race (the owner intending to reimburse himself in the pool box for more than one-half of what the horse sells for over the advertised price) it is proposed to have all the excess money go to the association. This would tend to keep out horses of a higher calibre than the race JOHN CALDWELL 2:11] BY STRATHWAY Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick's Trotter that will Race for Big Purses on the Grand Circuit This Year knew from the time he was a yearling. His name was changed, I think, three times. Shaner first called him Jack Dempsey, then Commodore, then Sidmore. He was, without any doubt, as fast a yearling pacer as ever lived. I have seen him pace eighths in 16 seconds, a 2:08 clip, when a yearling, and could score up with the fastest trotters at tbe Petaluma track. I saw him score with Arab 2:15 and Conde 2:19, and they were the fastest trotters we had there. That was to high wheel sulky. Sidmore was foaied in 1888. I saw Marchioness trot a quarter in 30 seconds when in Millard Sanders' hands, driven by Charles James on the Lodi track to a cart. Only for ber being a bad actor, she would have had a. fast mark. Sanders took ber East and sold her In 1895. Sid more sired another very fast trotter nam^d General. I don't know what lis mark is. hut I think better than 2:15. He has been campaigned Et-'fo- three years. I tjrink be »as campaigned in 1895 by Cbaries James w*ho went East with Sanders about that time. He wnn some large stakes ani was a great race horse -You can find him in tbe Year Book. He was named after W. P Fine, now a running horse man of Oakland, who went by the iume of General fine. I think he raised him The Sidmore you have is the sire of these two that I know I can find yon plenty of proof il it will be of any value to you. Sidmore went wrong in tbe legs or he would have had a fast murk. Th'elast time I saw him pass was at Sacramento in 1S94. I think be won third or fourth money. I was talkiog with Shaner the next week at Stockton and he wanted to sell me the horse. He told me he thought he would be a great sire as tbe only two colts of bis that had been worked were both fast Very respectfully yours, _ F. Haney. P. S — There might have been another Commodore, but 1 never knew of it, and I do know what I have just told you. I believe General has a mark of 2:10, but am not sure. Can find out though. F. H. [Those of Sidmore's get with records are Enoch 2:12A, General 2:14}, Little Miss 2:17], Teddy tbe Roan 2:17} and Marchioness 2:29. Teddy the Roan and Enoch are paears. Ed B. & S.] An Eastern paper says: Indications point towards the Jewet covered track being purchased by tbe run. ning horse people, who thiols it would be a better place to fit their horses during tbe winter than to ship them South. They would also be able to pi the touts and tipsters from getting a line on the more prominent horses, as the place would of course be more or less private property, and all undesirable charaoters would be kept off the premises. was intended for. Everyone seems to feel that the pacers should not be overlooked on tl.is selling race proposition Have a 2:20 class pace, owner of winner to start him at $300; quite a number here say $200. With first money added the winner would bring more, probably, than is being asked for the horse today, with no buyers It certainly looks as if the selling race scheme was a good one for owners, breeders, trainers and the public. Th6 latter will- have a chance to buy good horses at a reasonable price and with selling races as a regular thing on tbe program it will be conducive to the scattering of fast horses among a class of people who now don't know the delight of owning one. Mr. Hogoboom, Mr. Free- man and, in fact, a majority of the owners and trainers favor a $500 purse for 2:25 trotters, winner to sell for $300 A 2:20 pace, $500 purse, winner to sell for $i00 — all over selling price to go to tbe association. H. S. Hogoboom, Peter Fryatt, H. B. Freeman, Walter Tryon, A. B. Rodman, A. L. Charvo, C. A. Spen'Cer, M. C. Keefer, C. R. Harrington, W. J. Iyey, E. J. Donnelley, J. I. Silva. [In regard to the suggestion that all the excess money go to the association, we will state that tbe recommendation made last week that one-half of it be paid to the winner was an error. It should have read one-half to the owner of the second horse. — Editor B & S.] Commending the Mule. A Missouri paper says: "Our advice to Missouri is, don't buy automobiles: buy mules." This blast of wisdom is based upon a prediction of government au- thorities that next year picked mules will be worth $230 and draught mules, will be in demand at $200 each. The mule has become a social and economic necessity. As one enthusiastic writer puts it, "Tbe mule is fittest, hence it is bound to survive. Long after the last human being has been kicked off the face of the earth by the tentative, prehensile flipper of a Missouri mule, that stanch animal will roam and bray through the hills and continue to command the top of the market." May 20, 1905] STite ^rsefrzv txxx& gtpoxt&mtm Memphis Track News. The track record for the past three or four weeks has been held by the pacer Terrace Queen, but this week a trotter was in extra fine fettle and George G., in the stable of Ed Geers and owned by a.. N. Brady of New York, lowered the track record this spring by trotting a mile in 2:1U, with the last half in 1:03}. After this workout all the clocker3 and railbirds im- mediately crowned him the "Fastest of All Trotters" for the season of 1905 which would compete in races this year. Those who saw George work in 1904 would not recognize the same horse, as this year be is one of the best-mannered trotters seen in many a day, while last year he was inclined to break and do the "balloon ascension" act every now and then. George this year thinks of nothing but trotting, and if he does not meet with any accidents he will have the fastest record of any trotter — bar, of course, the two- minute performers, Lou Dillon and Major Delmar. This gelding, when it comes to looks, manners, gait and general conformation, would take a prize at a "beauty show" for the equines, atd there is not the least doubt but that Ed Geers thinks that in this horse he wiil have the fastest professional trotter of the year. Ed Benyon is not decided as yet as to where he will race, in the East or in the West Ed has made a lot of entries in the Grand Circuit stakes but later on be may decide that he will confine his racing operations to the West. Ed has one horse in his barn that he is willing to race either East or West and that one is the fast gelding Dan R. 2:01^. Ed so far has not asked Leon, out of Valissa 2:19} by Vasco, is named "Vice Admiral. Spence thinks mighty well of this one, he predicts a winning career for the "Navy" named horse. King Sable, the three-year-old bay colt, i3 bred on the speed-producing lines, as he is by Sable Wilkes and is also out of the dam of Alix. The fifth and last member of the string is named Circus Rider and is a three-year-old colt by Handspring and out of Carrie Rider by Judge Rider. Carrie was raced by M. E. McHenry several years ago and showed a lot of speed but eventually went wrong so that McHenry did not have as much success with ter as he predicted! Every time that Millard Sanders works either his two or three-year-old Axworthy colts be gets more enthusiastic about their chances of stepping fast miles this fall. Millard seems to have a knack, that is not common to the majority of trainers, of gaining the confidence of the colts in his stable and of getting the youngsters to work their best. Millard has a few three-year-olds that are not only good galted but can show a clip that is a surprise to a lot of horsemen. Millard has already three three- year-olds to beat 2:30 while his two-year-olds have shown fast quarters. The three-year-old by Ax- worthy, out of Evonia, named Fanny Avwortby, has been a mile in 2:25, with the last half in 1:11. Dolly Worthy has even done better than this as she has been a mile in 2:23)2, with a half in 1:09. This one is getting better with each workout and Millard says that he expects to see this filly able to knock off a mile that would be able to win races. Flying Axworthy is really the pride of the barn, when it comes to the youngsters. Flying is a three-year- pacing classes a few fast miles. Vance Nuckols said, "I am regarded as a hard trainer at the Glenville track, but you have not seen me stepping them very hard so far have you? I don't know why I deserved the title that was banded me YUKON 2:14} By BAY BIRD A California-bred Horse that Brought the Highest Price at the Recent Portland Sale Dan to step off any fast miles as a mile in 2:19 is xhe best that he has done this year but he is perfectly willing to race any horse in the country mile heats, two in three, or three in five. If anyone desires to race Audubon Boy, Ecstatic or Hazel Patch against Dan R. Ed is perfectly agreeable to match for as much as the ordinary match it made for. This must not be considered "Hoss talk" as Dan R. is not a stallion but is a gelding and is not trying to boost any horse in his stable but thinks that Dan has an edge over any of the horses named and if called will be will- ing to put up a forfeit that shows his earnestness in the match. Any amount forfeit that the other party desires is perfectly desirable to Ed and is willing to race on any track the opponent desires. Edward Appel, of Rochester, X. Y , has five borses, in the charge of Louis Spence, that are being trained here, and everyone of the lot shows a disposition to show speed. Allie Spring, the bay four-year-old horse by Handspring and out of Atlanta (the dam of Alix 2:03^), is a nice pacer and acts as though when asked to do so would show a lot of speed. Spence has not been a mile better than 2:80 with this horse, but is confident that he is the making of a first class horse. Proud Gambler is the name of the four-year- old bay horse by Prodigal, out of Euline 2:14A by Anteeo. This horse, while he has not been asked to step a fast clip, shows a Dice way of going. His dam Eoline won the Kentucky stakes at Lexington in 1896 from quite a good field of three-year olds and: bred as he is, should, no doubt, make quite a good cam- paigner. The brown four-year-old horse by Ponce de old colt, built on the Shetland pony order only a tr.fle larger. He is out of Belleflower 2:12*4, and can show a clip that is without a doubt nothing short of sensational. Millard regards this colt as tbe star youngster of the year and the other day he reeled off a mile in 2:25, with a half in 1:075£. But he stepped the last quarter in 321.2 seconds in such an easy way that Millard thinks that a mil6 in 2:10 will not be too much of a question to ask this colt by fall. This is the youngster for which an offer of $10,000 was made*and it was not stage money at that. But, as everyone knows who is acquainted with the horse game, John H. Shults does not buy his horses except at public auction and that is the only way he sells them. He does not thiDk it right to break his rule even when offered a large sum for a colt to sell him privately. Last fall during the meeting here he was offered $7500 for Tom Ax- worthy 2:08^4, but refused to sell him privately, and when be brought only $4100 at New York last fall he said: 'Is that tbe gentleman who offered me $7500 at Memphis? " Millard has four two-year-olds that have shown quarters in geod time. Effle Worthy out of Bellwood A., has been a quarter in 37 seconds. The filly out of Octavia by Baron Wilkes has been a quarter in 36% seconds and Xelda Worthy, out of Nell by Estill Eric, has been a quarter In 35 seconds. This filly is a full sister to Tom Axworthy. Ed Geers worked Hal Hardy a mile in 2:19J. This pacer has been what is regarded as a hard-luck pacer as he gets lame when least expected but if he stays right he will show a lot of the eligibles to the slow Judge dillon Frank Turner's Two- Year-Old Colt by Sidney DHlon-Eviline by Nutwood that has been mated with Lou Dillon's dam this year for I think I go slow with them. I have not beaten 2:20 by a whole lot as yet but as my horses have wintered g3od I expect to see what is in them from now on. One thing I am sure I will not carry any dead ones with me as they eat a hole into the bank roll that takes a good horee to even up." Vance worked a mare by Courier, a half in 1:08] but he said that he could not at the present ride many miles as fast as that clip as it would make him dizzy. Baron Grattan was worked by Ed Geers a mile in 2:12£. The pacer owned by F. G.

The Roger Williams $5000 stake for 2:12 class trotters has 33 entries and seven of these were bred in California and one in Oregon. The Coast horses entered are Swift B. 2:16$, Nora Mc- Kinney 2:12&, Miss Kinney, Eula Mac 2:17£, John Caldwell 2:11$, Mamie R 2:15£, Morosco 2:12 and Mack Mack 2:12£. There are 32 entries in the $2000 purse for 2:20 class trotters. Those from the western edge of the conti- nent are Maud Maxine, Crown Prince, Danube, Lady Zombro and Getaway. The Park Brew, which is a $5000 pace for 2:09 class horses, has attracted 26 entries and among those named are the California bred pacers Reybel. Ben F. 2:09} and Alford D. 2:12}, and the mares Oregon Maid 2:08} and Josie 2:16 from up North. Eighteen is the appropriate number of entries for the 2:18 class, for which a purse of $2000 is offered.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— With your permission and for the benefit of your readers iD this State who do not read u i Where either journal is found the florae Review has the majority of readers throughout these parts, therefore all my side of this unpleasant controversy over tbe grandam of Lou Dillon is not generally read. For such reisons I would like to answer a few questions that appeared in the Horse of its issue of May 9th. That article was headed "Evidence Still Accumulating." It states: "As will be remembered by tbe Review readers, tbe fact of the 6ale of a pair of chestnut mares, called Fly and Gipsy, by the late William Maxwellof Wisconsin, who bred them and took them to California, was fur- nished tbe Review last January by Mr. Jacob Broiliar of Visalia, whose authority was Mr. Frank Taylor of San Jose, Cal." The Review further states: "We need not rehearse the strong, confirmatory evidence of this secured from Mr. T. W. Markle of Waupun, Wiscoosin." I fail to see by that gentleman's statement that his evidence throws any light upon the case that the Maxwell mare Fly is in any way connected with the dam of Lou Dillon. That gentleman particularly re- members a team of mares owned by Mr. Maxwell, and knows just how they were bred, and that Mr. Maxwell went from Wisconsin to California overland in 1*72, taking something like a half-dozen or so horses with him The breeding given of the mareB and that they started for California is no doubt cor- rect, as far as Mr. Markle's statement is concerned; but the great question is, did these mares ever reach this State? If so, when and to whom sold? As up to date they cannot be identified aseverin the possession of Mr. Ralston, the mere statement of an animal's breeding and sold to so-and-so does not prove that su^h animal is in anyway connected with another ani- mal. I wrote Mr. Taylor some time ago, as I had learned that his memory was good, as to the colorand marks of Fly's mate (Gipsy). His answer is in the R-.riew ol May 9th — for not answering my letter was that he was not feeling well. It seems strange to many here and at San Jose that his memory is now so good in relation to the color, marks (and now a new one of the hard pulling habit) of the mare Fly, and cannot tell which hind ankle was white or the description of Fly's mate (Gipsy;. The Review speaks of a letter received by me from Mr. Edwin Bennett. I have never received a letter from Mr. Bennett, "as alluded," but have such a let- ter now in my possession and the author's signature, and that team can be well identified, and such a team of mares, in no way connected with Lou Dillon, and the nearest to the embrace of Milton Medium these mares was about thirty miles. There is nothing like a parson's keeping up courage during the legal exam- ination. The 'Review teems to be lost as to tbe true initials of Mr. Kimball. Mr. Thompson gives "J. S." Kimball and I gave "G. P." Kimball. "G. P." the records have proved correct. As to the dates of deaths of Messrs. Ralston and Kimball, I have the records of such; but I cannot see what such has to do with the identity ol the Maxwell mare Fly as the grandam of Lou Dillon. It again states that In your issue of April 22d I gave your journal a list of horses owned by the late G. P. Kimball offered for sale. That list, unfortunately, I did not date, which seri. ouBly impairs its value as evidence, especially as one of the horses listed is the reputed Geo. M. Patchen Jr. mare whose claim as the grandam of Lou Dillon I have been supporting. The Review states: "We have accordingly analyzed it in the endeavor to place its date, and that analysis reveals the fact that it cannot have been in its entirety made out at one time, but must be the sum of various memoranda of various dates." My reply to the latter Is that I fall to see what such has to do with the grandam of Lou Dillon. Now about the unnamed chestnut filly that they called a yearling and I a two-tear-old, by Hubbard out of Lady Fairfield. I did not give any breeding for Lady Fairfield for the simple reason that I well knew that this Lady Fairfield's breeding wbb unknown and was within two thousand miles of imp Bonnie Scotland. Judging the evidence and circumstances surrounding this Maxwell mire Fly problom, I never did for one moment imagine that fbe was in anyway connected with Lou Dillon, and I have hli<.'ht evidence that the Geo. M. Hatchen mare is yet In a slight doubt, and the true facts may never come to light. It has been proven to mo beyond doubt that the so- called "Fly" by Flying Cloud i. i thirty to tw > thousand miles of tbe embrace of Milton Me- dium. There is a great error on someone's part as to the statement of my receiving a letter from Kdwin lett. I Bimply Inquired of Mr. Parlln of the n Horse Breeder, Boston, that I learned that Mr. Bennett was now a resident of Boston; but I have such a letter in my possession from other parties. With other evidence I thought that I would be able to present my case to the public by this date, but I am now waiting on four important persons in Lake county. I have been and am now quite under the weather the last few days with usual complaint (asthma), yet I will try to write and answer all ques- tions put to me in this unfortunate muddle. Did you hear the latest? Did the grandam of Lou Dillon have one ear cut off and one hind shoe off? I must let up on this, as I am short of fuel. Yours, SaM'l Gamble. Feeding the Horses. The man who hopes to feed horses successfully should possess some slight knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of this animal. Tbe usefulness of the horse whether he be of the draft or the light type, depends on the development of his muscles and supply of muscular or nervous energy which he can store up to give out as work. The type of the draft and trotting horse varies essentially as does the character of his muscles. In the light horse the muscles are constituted of long, elastic fibers, which gives a great range to the stride and a high knee action, so that the unfoldiDg of the leg enables him to cover a long distance at a single stride, and so materially reduce the time required to cover a mile. In the draft horce the muscles are larger, and coarser, while made up of bundles of short fibres. They have not thus the great elasticity of the muscles of the light horse, and hence the draft horse does not posses the action of speed of tbelatter. These two distinct classes of muscles require practically the same kind of food for nourishment, and as the value of tbe horse depends on his muscular energy, it is evidently necessary that he be given plentiful supplies of food whose specific quality is muscle building. If one examines the skeleton of the horse, he will see that the pivotal part of the body, namely the hind quarter, takes its form and shape from the develop- ment of the muscles, and not so much from the form of the skeleton. This in itself should convince every person of the great importance of feeding plentiful supplies of protein foods to horses. Examining the physiology of the animal somewhat, it is found that his circulatory and nervous systems are highly organized; that his digestive organs are small and compact. He only has one stomach and that not of great capacity; hence it is quite evident if he is to do good work he must be fed differently from the ox, which has the power of ruminating and has a great pouch and three other stomachs to assist him in the reduction and digestion of coarse, rough fodders. It is a material advantage for every person dealing with horses to know and appreciate these important facts and yet it is surprising how few people have con- sidered the feeding of horses from a purely business standpoint, that of furnishing proper supplies of food in the best form for the nourishment of the animal. It is quite evident that where the horse is not fed suitable food supplies he will not be able to develop his full quota of energy, nor will his tissues be so well nourished nor his staying qualities so great, either for a day's labor, or, for that matter, for a life time. How much animal energy is wasted through improper food supplies! The Iobs, could it be figured up in dollars and cents, would be truly appalling; so great, in fact, as to revolutionize the methods now employed in feed ing animals and make our farmers consider this question in its true and proper light, its relation to the economic nourishment of the animal body and to secure the greatest return in work for the least ex- penditure. From what has been Baid, it is evident that the horse requires rather a concentrated ration — a ration rich in muscle and nerye producing constituents. Such a ration will necessarily be a narrow one; that is, tbe proportion of protein to carbohydrates and fat will be close, as one pound of protein to betweeu four and six of carbohydrates and fat; while a wide ration would be one pound of protein to six or ten, or eyen twelve pounds of fat The former ration would be well adapted for the nourishment of the horse; the latter for the development of fat in a beef animal. With these facts before ue, it would seem that the feeding of horses would be a simple matter, and so it would be if suitable concentrates were always avail- able. The food par excellence for horses is oatB. These have a nutritive ratio of one to about six, and have a tonic effect on tbe nervous system. Every farmer who is breeding or caring for horses should make an effort to have as many oats as possible to feed his stock. Next to oats, the food generally used in the United States is corn. This is, however, not a de- sirable food for horses, as It is low in protein and tends to prod uce fat and heat rather than build muscle and supply nervous energy. It also is objectionable because it burns out the digestive tract. Where it is necessary to feed some corn, the supply should never exceed one-third or one-haif of the concentrates when- ever possible If a mixture of one-third bran, one- third oats and one-third corn can be fed, it is infinitely better than pure corn. Ic extreme cases where oats cannot be had, feed one-third bran and two-thirds corn. Bran is a protein food and has a cooling effect on the system and helps to keep the coat in a fine condition. The roughness fed to horses should be free from dust, as otherwise it is likely to produce heaves or various other affections of the respiratory organs. If the roughnees is dusty, it should be cut and slightly dampened, not wet, and may have the meal scattered over it and mixed with it so as to insure the horse eating it. Where clean, bright hay from clover, cow peas, wheat or vetch, or from the tame grasses is available, it can be used for horse. Any of these combinations will give a sufficiency of protein in a roughness in a comparatively concentrated form, such as horses require. Not more than ten to fifteen pounds of hay should be fed per day, as a horse will eat more roughness than is necessary for it, resulting in a distention of the pouch and a burdening of the digestive organs that detracts from the energy and general appearance of the horse. When horses are idle they do not re- quire such choice hays for maintenance purposes. Some straw can be utilized to good advantage and shredded stover can also be fed. When it is necessary to grind grain for horses, as it would be should their teeth be bad or the grain particularly hard, it is bast to mix it with a small amount of chopped feed so they cannot bolt it down without masticating it thoroughly. Grain should never be ground for horses unless it is necessary, as thev prefer to masticate it for them- selves, and it is much better for them to do so. A horse should have plenty of time to eat, as he only has one opportunity to chew his food and his diges- tive apparatus is much more delicate than that of the ox and liable to be upset by the rapid bolting of his food. He will acquire the habit of rapid eating much the same as man, if conditions are favorable. Horses should not be watered immediately after eating. This is an important matter, as a heavy draught of water at that time not only chills the stomach, but dilutes the digestive fluids so that it takes some time for the digestive functions to be re- established. By giving attention to these points a horse can be fed to much better advantage, so that he can do more and better work at less cost and with greater comfort to himself. — A M. Soule. Breeding of Whalebone. Breeder and Sportsman:— I see there is a claim made that the dam of Whalebone was sired by John Nelson — in fact, a full pedigree is given of the dam. I wish to state through tbe columns of your valuable paper, for the benefit of breeders, that the breeding of Whalebone's dam is unknown. My father got her on a debt a number of years ago, and she died of old age on my hands. I bred her to Inca when he stood in San Bernardino. I lived at that time in San Jacinto. I was advised to breed her »o Inca by J. C. Jordan, who lives at tbe present time in San Jacinto. I named the colt Bismarck and sold him to a party in Petaluma, who changed his name to Whalebone. How he got a pedigree on his dam's side I do not know. I will guarantee that there is not a man living who can name the party my father got old Nellie from but myself, and I failed to find what she was sired by. I believe Whalebone has been dead several years. Respectfully, H. G. Hewitt, Healdsburg, Cal. That Son of Oro Wilkes. What is the name and breeding of tbe "son of Oro Wilkes 2:11" that sired Mamie R. (3) 2:15J, now in James Butler's string? — Horse Review. The breeding of this horse has been given frequently in these columns. He is out of the mare Auntie by Dawn 2 : 1 8 J , second dam Netteo by Anteeo 2:16J, third dam Nettie Bennett by Alexander 490, fourth dam Jennie Shepherd, dam of two in the list, by William- son's Belmont. The Son of Oro Wilkes was foaled in 1898, and was bred to Musoova 2:28i in 1900 and two or three other mares He was gelded the same year. He was never named. Not an inch of barbed wire should ever be allowed on a farm where horses are kept. Never allow brood- mares nor colts or fillies to run in a pasture where any of the cruel stuff can be found. Many good colts have been killed from outs received from barbed wire and many others have received scars that will disfigure them for life. May 20, 1905) ®tte gvee&ev cmfc gpovtsman Difference in Full Brothers. [S. W. Parltn in American Horse Breeder.] There is sometimes a great difference between stal- lions that are full brothers, both in speed capacity and ability to sire and perpetuate speed. The reason for this appears to many to be one of the deep mysteries hidden in the law of inheritance and trans- mission. That this difference exists is known to overy student of the breeding problem. Pew, how- ever, have attempted to solve the problem and ex plain the reason for this difference. In order for any man to offer a clear and reason- able solution of this mysterious problem of the differ- ent capacity of full brothers, or even to get a clear understanding of the matter himself, it will Brst be necessary for him to thoroughly understand the sub- ject of heredity, inheritance, transmission and atavism, as explained by the best iuformed and most modern writers on that subject. The man who has mastered Weisman's "Theory of the Germ Plasm" can readily comprehend that though stallions are by the same sire and from the same dam the germs con- tained in the ids which entered into the composition of one may have been inherited from some different ancestor or ancestors, near or remote, that was totally different in character and capacity from that which furnished the germs in the ids which entered into the composition of the full brother. The man who has mastered this subject can also understand that though the physical and mental con- dition of the stallion may be the same when different mares are mated with him even on the same day the arrangement of the ids and determinants coming from him which enter into the composition of the new being may be so unlike in character, that though the foals mav be from mares that are full sisters, mares of the same size, the same color, of similar conformation and possessing the same temperament and general characteristics, the two foals produced by them that were begotten by the same stallion, on the same day and under conditions that were precisely similar, may bear no marked resemblance te each other either in size, color, temperament, conformation, speed capac- ity or general characteristics. The men who best understand the subject of her- edity, the law of inheritan3e, transmission and atavism, other things being equal, are the ones who will be most likely to achieve success in breeding horses of any desired type. Not that a knowledge of the above will enable them to control or modify the law, for that is impossible, but because in selecting their brood- mares and the stallions with which to mate them, they will be careful to know that not only the animals themselvess possess the qualities which they wish to reproduce, but are from a long line of ancestors on both side, each of which possessed the desired quali- ties in a marked degree. To the average man, who has not studied the above subject, an explanation of the cause of the differences in the ability of well-bred stallions that are full brothers to transmit speed would be about as clear as an explanation of cube root and logarithms in mathematics to a pupil before he had a knowledge of the fundamental rules of arithmetic. Every breeder of large experience and every student of the breeding problem knows that there is a vast difference between full brothers as regards their speed capacity and also their ability to transmit speed. It is not always the faster and more successful race win- ner of two full brothers that is the more successful as the sire of uniform race-winning speed. This is true of runners as well as trotters. The old English stallions, Flying Childers and Bart- lett's Childers, are good illustrations. Plying ChilderB was the fastest runner in England in his day. He was raced against the best horses of his day, and was never beaten. He did stud service for 19 years after being retired from the turf, and was doubtless favored with the best mares in England. Bartlett's Childers, a full brother to Flying Childers, was never raced. He bled at the noee and would not endure training. He proved more successful as a perpetuator of race-winning speed, however, than did Flying Childers. One of his sons, Squirt, got Marske, sire of the renowned English Eclipse, that was never beaten, and finally no man could be found who would start a horse against him. Lath and Cade are otber full brothers that may be named. They were by Godolphin Arabian and from Roxana. Lath was several years older than Cade. He was the first foal that Godolptiin Arabian got in Eng- land, and was the most successful race horse of his day. He was owned and kept for stock purposes by Duke of Devonshire, who had previously owned the renowned Flying Childers, hence no horse of his day had better opportunities in the stud than Lath enjoyed. Cade was trained for racing, but was such a failure as a race horse that he was started only three or four times, yet his descendants were more successful as race horses than were those of Lath. Matchem, by Cade, was one of the most successful sires of his day. Among the sons of George Wilkes 2:22 that were full brothers and kept for stock .purposes are The King 2:29}, and Gambetta Wilkes 2:19}. The former was foaled in 1874, and the latter in 1881. The last Year Book credits The King 2:293 with 18 trotters and five pacers that have made standard records; also with seven sons that have sired two trotters and nine pacers with records in standard time, and with nine daugh- ters that have produced eight trotters and five pacers with standard records, making the total number of standard performers got by The King and his sons and produced by bis daughters 47. The same Year Book credits Gambetta Wilkes 2:19}, a full brother of The King, with 83 trotters and 78 pacers in the list of stand ard performers, also with 38 sons that have sired 72 trotters and 108 pacers that have made records in standard time, and with 31 daughters that have produced 21 trotters and 18 pacers with standard records, which makes a total of 380 standard performers sired by Gambetta Wilkes and his sons and produced by his daughters. This is more than eight times the number credited to The King, his sons and daughters. Gambetta Wilkes' record is ten seconds faster than that of The King, but, as before remarked, it is not always the full brother which shows the most spted that proves the most successful as a sire of speed. Alcantara 2:23, foaled in 1876, and Alcyone 2:27, foaled in 1877, were full brothers. Before Alcantara was in- jured as a four-year-old, by getting one hind leg caught under the bottom of ihe door of his stall when lying down, he had trotted a half mile in 1:06, driven by Mike Bowerman, and Mr. Bowerman stated several years ago that he believed Alcantara could have trotted the full mile in 2:13 on that occasion had he been asked to do so. It was while suffering from the injury mentioned above, and only a short time after it occurred, that Alcantara took a record of 2:23 in a race against aged horses and over a muddy track. Alcyone 2:27 was considerably faster than his record but not nearly as fast as Alcantara. Alcyone died July 4, 1887, when but ten years old. His early op. portunities in the stud were not nearly as good as those of Alcantara. The Year Book for 1904 credits Alcantara with 109 trotters and 51 pacers that have made standard records; also with 53 sons that have sired 123 trotters and 150 pacers, and with 46 daughters that have produced 51 trotter6 and 21 pacers, making the total number of standard per- formers named above that are descendants of Al- cantara 505. The same Year Book credits Alcyone 2:27 with 50 trotters and nine pacers that have made records in standard time, also with 52 sons that have sired 200 trotters and 122 pacers in the standard list and 26 daughters that have produced 40 trotters and 12 pacers with standard records. This makes the total number of standard performers mentioned above de- scended from Alcyone 532, which is 27 more than those of Alcantara. It will be observed that the pro- portion of pacers among the descendants of Alcan- tara is considerably greater than among those of Alcyone. Although full brothers, Alcantara and Alcyone, bore but little resemblance to each other, either in size, color or conformation. Alcantara was much larger than Alcyone, and though a powerful horse, with remarkably strong loin and strongly-muscled quarters, he lacked the graceful poise, the symmetry of form, the finish and quality which enabled Alcyone to win the blue ribbon from the noted prize-winner, Mambrino King, at the National Horse Show in Madi- son Square Garden during the fall of 1885, in the class lor stallions four years old and over, kept for service. It will be observed that the sons of Alcyone have been much more successful as sires than those of Alcantara, while on the other hand the daughters of Alcantara have apparently produced and are producing better than those of Alcyone, though it must be borne in mind that there are probably not less than four times as many daughters of Alcantara as of Alcyone that have produced foals. Bourbon Wilkes and Favorite Wilkes 2:241 are another case of full brothers that were unequal in speed and greatly so as sires of speed. Their sire was George Wilkes. Their dam Favorite 2:35J, was by Alexander's Abdallah, and from Lizzie Peebles, by the famous old four-mile race horse, Wagner. Bour- bon Wilkes wasioaled in 1875. He has no record and was never trained as far as known Favorite Wilkes was foaled in 1887. His speed was developed and he was raced for several seasons. He took a record of 2:25f in 1886, which he reduced to 2:25J in 1887, and finally to 2:24| in 1891. As Favorite Wilkes was a handsome, well-finished horse and a fast trotter it is probable that his oppor- tunities in the stud were at least equally as good, if not better, than those of Bourbon Wilkes. According to either the old-age or the development theory, or both, Favorite Wilkes should have proved a much more successful sire and perpetuator of speed than Bourbon Wilkes. The last Year Book, however, credits Bourbon Wilkes with 54 trotters and 44 pacers that have taken standard recordB, with 30 sons that have sired 46 trotters and 101 pacers with standard records; also with 30 daughters that have produced 25 trotters and 14 pacers with records in standard time, a total of 284. The same Year Book credits Favorite Wilkes 2:24J with 23 trotters and eight pacers that made standard records; with seven sons that have sired 10 trotters and 16 pacers in the standard list; also with nine daughters that have produced nine trotters and six pacers with standard records, a total of 72, or only about one-fourth as many as ore credited to his un- developed full hrother, Bourbon Wilkes. Bourbon Wilkes had two years the advantage of Favorite Wilkes in age, but that does not account for the discrepancy between their lists of standard per- formers. By turning to the Year Book of two years ago (1902) it will be found that Bourbon Wilkes was then credited with 52 trotters and 44 pacers with standard records; with 25 sons that were then credited with 37 trotters and 79 pacers, and with 24 daughters that had produced 16 trotters and 14 pacers in the standard list, a total of 242 which is considerably more than three times the number that are now credited to Favorite Wilkes. The above are only a few case9 which occur to mind. Among others that might be mentioned are Guy Wilkes 2:15} and William L.; Allerton 2:09} and Barnhart 2:22|; Alfonso 2:20| and Baron Alexander, etc. Guy Wilkes 2:15} was one of the fastest and gamest stallions that George Wilkes ever got, and was always popular. His full brother, William, if we are correctly informed, was handled some for speed, but never took a standard record, and, owing to con- formation, was far less popular than Guy Wilkes. Yet the latter got no son that is the equrl of Axtell (3) 2:12 as a sire of speed. It is evident that when a stallion has inherited the quailtieB upon which speed ability depends and possesses' the power to transmit these q jalities be will prove successful as a sire of speed, if given a proper opportunity, whether he has been handled for speed or not. All unprejudiced persons who have studied the breeding problem carefully must have become convinced of that fact. It does not follow that of several full brothers which have had equal opportuni- ties for development that the one which shows the most speed will prove the most successful as a sire and perpetuator of speed. How to Throw a Horse. To thoroughly take the conceit out of a horse there is no better way than to throw him. It certainly requires pluck and determination to throw a horse single handed, but if done, your horse is virtually con- quered for good and all. To do this, put a good strong halter on your horse, take a strap with a ring in it and buckle it on the horse's off fore leg below the fetlock joint; take a rope eight feet long and tie it to this strap; place a surcingle round the horse's body, take up your position on the right side of the horse, bring the rope over the horse's back from the offside; take hold of the rope and pull his foot to his body', take a firm hold of this foot, holding it in that posi- tion, then take hold of the horse's halter with the left hand, pull his head to you and press against his body with your elbow, using the words, "Lie down. " The majority of horses can be thrown in this way in under a minute, while others of course may fight longer. As soon as the animal has been thrown take the rope that is underneath him, bring it under the surcingle and pass it through the ring of the baiter, and back under the surcingle again, and thus you have the rope in position to bring his head over his 9houlder. Make him put his head on the ground, and if he makes any attempt to get up pull his head up immediately, which will prevent him from rising. This will give him thoroughly to understand that you are master. Once a horse realizes your power over him he will do almost anything a horse can do. — Ex- change. In a recent public talk on the horse and the horse situation, Col. Exall, the successful Texas trotting horse breeder, said, among other excellent things: "With a reawakening interest in the horse and his noble qualities, with wealthy men all over the Union searching the markets for horses to drive or to race for pleasure or profit, with an admitted scarcity to meet this increased demand, it cannot be doubted that the prices paid for good horses during the next five or six years will be as high as ever before, if, indeed, not very much higher. Obviously, now is the time of all times for all owners of good mares to begin to breed them and to raise good horseB."

At the Empire Gun Club snoot, last Sunday at Ala- meda Junction, General Fred Fuuston, U. S. A., par- ticip ited in the club events. General Funstoo is now a member of ohe club and judging from his initial per- formance at the club traps he will make a strong race for some of the club trophies. The doughty soldier is a very clever shot and is an enthusiast on blue rock shooting. His first score of 14 out of 25 was just a warm up. In the re entry race, 15 singlts and 5 pairs he smashed a total of 16 clay pigeons and won first money in his class. Bert Patrick let out a kink also and scored 24 out of 25 in the club race. Fred Feudner shot a good pice, besides cracking out 21 iu the club race, he scored 15 in the Sweeney medal race; in this event, however, Webb's record of 17 still is the top sore. The regular scores shot were the following: Club championship match, 25 targets, 75 cents en- trance— Seara.

Throughout the tournament, which took place under the most favorable conditions, the shooting was far above the average, and manv of the marksmen have good reason to congratulate themselves upon the excellent scores made. The shooters in attendance at the ournament gath ered Sunday evening at Elks' Hall for the award of cups, medals and merchandize prizes.

The San Francisco Kennel Club show last week may be said in one respect to have been one of the most successful in the history of the club, for the one lack- ing essential at a number of past shows was strongly in evidence, and that was, a big gate. On the first night the Pavilion was thronged, the closing night it was packed. The entries numbered 552 and 429 dogs were benched, some twenty odd more than in 1904. Collies led by a close margin of two over the Cocker entries; Fox Terriers, Bull Terriers. English Setters, Boston Terriers, Pointers, St. Bernards and Great Danes followed next in order. The class and quality of the show was excellent to a degree with the local and Coast dogs, among which were a promising iot of young dogs and puppies in many breeds. The Eastern dogs, including the Bloom- field English Setters, the Sabine Kennels' Fox Terriers, the Pointers in Ben Lewis* string, the Fox and Irish Terriers brought out by George S. Thomas were all well known and winning high class benchers. In their olasses tbey won nearly everything — save one special and that was when the black Cocker Plumeria Sally was placed over Lansdowne Ada The surprise in the Collie ranks was Sir Wallace, be is 13 well set handsome dog with a coat textuie not usually seen here, his head is of the right kind and he is a Collie of type and substance all through. The Pointer classes were better than the average May 20, 1905J ©tte fgvee&sv axxts gtpxrtrtemtm 11 Bbown. Of the local entries we noticed four young dogs from Stockdale Kennels that were good enough to go at any show, Combination Boy, in particular, seemed to be a most promising puppy. The English Setter classes were all above the usual run, particularly so in young dogs. The Irish Setters and Gordons were fair with a few individ ual exceptions only. Irish Water Spaniels were more numerous than usual and the best lot yet shown here, all exhibited had merit. Bulldogs had a record entry of 15. End- cUffe Baron, a new dog to the Coast, two good pup- pies by Trua Blue and the bitch Defender were all better specimens than benched at prior shows. In Bull Terriers the best of a general averaging good lot were Edgecote Peer and Meg Merilies II. Of the two the bitch has a shade the best of it over Peer. In Fox Terriers the qualityof the puppy entries, particularly the home bred ones, was excellent. The Wandee, Sabine and Humberstone limit and open entries were almost all show-tried veterans. In Boston, Glenwood Kennels made a big showing with new and better dogs than have been shown here for a long time. St. Bernards were not numerous, Marcus Nelson first limit, novice and third open (Le King, second open) 1904 won all the way, Le King going second to him Nelson was in better shape and condition than last year and has improved. In Great Danes, Tempest unplaced in 1904, over Carlotta, and Cb Blue Board in for specials only, won easily. The La Honda entries, Ni* and Prince F., should do somo winning again next year. Cockers brought out a neat young dog Sir David who could without straining have gone over Mepals Sixon, a fair headed dog lacking substance and want- ing in hindquarters. Portland Kid can ba considered a very lucky entry. Tom Ashton handled his classes rapidly, he knows what he wants and does not waste time over mediocre dogs. The awards for best dog, to Endclifle Precise, and b^st owned by a lady, to Eidcliffe Fascination, came in for some criticism. This however is more a muter of personal lining for one's fancy. These specials are debatable in themselves. There is no question but what Precise is just about the best wire ever put down in the 'Frisco ring. Endcliffe Fascina- tion is equally good as a Toy Pom — but there were other good ones, the judge was the deciding factor and that is final Many present preferred Meg Mer- rilies or Sir Wallace. The managment of the show in all its details was smooth and even, the ring officials being particularly efficient, in their duties. Medals were distributed early Siturday afternoon. Nearly 200 specials, the largest, handsomest and most valuable lot of oups, trophies and prizes ever given at a Coast bench show were distributed to the winners on the closing night. ST.

May 20, 1905] ©Ite $§veei>ev croo grparteracm 18 Red Poll Steers. Red Poll steers so far have cut no great figure in the Bhow ring. Tbere have been comparatively few of them competing for Bhow yard honors. Of these few, how- ever, none so far shows the perfect form and finish needed to command attention from the judge. This may he from lack of Bkill in the feeder and fitter, and doubt- less is to Eome extent, but it is partly due no doubt to lack of material. The Red Polls have not been sufficiently de- veloped in this line to reach as yet to the top notch. But when it comeB to practical utility profit to breeder, feeder and butcher— they make a better showing. In feeding capac ty, in growth for age and in quality of product they compare favorably with any of the strictly beef breeds Unfortu- nately no records are kept at the Inter- national of the age and weight of the steers Bbown, or if kept tbey are not ac- cessible to the public We have a few reports, however, which so far as they go BUBtain the foregoing claims. In the car- cass class at the recent International the Gazette report gave the grosB and net weight per cent of beef and so on, but un- fortunately not the age. In the two-year- old class there were apparently but three pure breds entered — an Aberdeen Angus, a Red Poll and a Galloway. The judges placed the carcasses in the order named as regards these three, though the Angus was at the head of the class. They were presumably near the same age and weighed alive 1235 pounds, 1680 pounds and 1740 pounds. They dressed respec- tively 66 7, 64 and 65 7 per cent of their weights. It is worth notirjg in this con- nection, as an illustration of dual pur- pose quality, that the Red Poll steer was from a cow entered in the farmers' cow class in 1902, and showing an official test of over 90C0 pounds of milk aud over 300 pounds of butter fat within the year. In the general class the heaviest Red Poll steer weighed 1950 pounds at three years and three months, lacking a few days, the nest 1685 pounds at a little under three years. In the yearling class the heaviest weighed 1525 pounds at a little over two years and the next 1335 pounds at a little under two years •The laBt named steer again is from a cow entered in the farmers' cow class in 1903 and showing a record of nearly 8000 pounds of milk and over 400 poundB of butter in 325 days. Her calf at 325 days old weighed 757 pounds. A year later this calf weighed as stated 1345 pounds- gain in the year's feeding of 578 pounds, a per cent of over 76 per cent of his initial weight. Can any of the strictly beef breeds show better growt than this, and his dam would be a first class dairy cow in any company. We have some more satisfactory figures from England for purposes of comparison, but these must be left for another article. The point to be enforced now is the ad- vantage offered by the Red Poll breed to the general farmer in the Eastern and Middle states who prefers to grow and feed some steers. We cannot in this section afford to keep a cow a year to pro- duce a steer ealf. The calf may be worth at weaning $15. It will cost $25 at least t feed the cow a year, besides the risk and depreciation in her value — not a very profitable business. But Red Poll cowe, as shown, that are first class dairy ani- mals, that will give milk enough to raise a calf and yield a profit in dairy produce, can also grow a steer practically equal in feeding capacity to that of any strictly beef breed.—/.

The bovine specie has been subdivided into many distinct breeds through the intelligent application of the methodical principles of breeding It is apparent from the general results achieved from the experiments ■' f different breeders that perfection of animal husbandry still fluc- tuates by the action of atavism, or the constant tendency to revert to the origi- nal type. The laws of inbreeding have been carefully studied, but no standard formula haB been established on the prin- ciples of inbreeding. Every breed, says the Chicago Journal, was developed by considerable inbreeding to fix the char- acteristk'3 of the new type and to estab- lish the power of prepotency. It is not only to evolve a perfect conformation, butt' develop the ability to transmit to progeny the best type of a breed. The enterprise of breeding cattle is pregnant with vast possibilities and is a subject that demands great preserver- ance and careful applicat on of the laws of breeding. The pioneer breeders that evolved the different breeds have left no formula of their operation. The recur- rence of numerous crosses to one ances- tor, indicates that much inbreeding waB relied upon to establish the fixed charac- teristics that distinguish the several breeds. To fix new and desirable quali- ties, it was desirable to mate the animals that possessed these qualities in the greatest perfection. A new factor has been infussd into animal husbandry during the past de- cade by agricultural colleges and experi- ment stations. Experimentation is now being conducted on the most scientific principles, and the general results are widely disseminated through special bul- letins issued by the Department of Agri- culture. Agricultural stations are carry- ing on extensive operations that will settle scientifica-Uly many of the controversies of the paBt. The animal industry has bee~i greatly benefited by the "work of the pioneer breeders that established the different breeds of cattle, but greater benefits will be imparted by experimenta- tion at agricultural stations. Modern efforts are being directed to not only pre- vent the deterioration of the several breeds, but also to improve their fixed characteristics and prepotency. To profit by the scientific experimentation now being exhaustively conducted by agricul- tural stations it will be necessary for breeders to Btudv the bulletins elucida- ting the several experiments and follow the recommendations enunciatea in the several reports. The different breeds were evolved for specific purposes and to attain in the largest degree that purpose is the consummation Bought by the work of agricultural experiment Btations. To be really successful one must begin further back than the mere act of putting the eggs under the hen, which means the purchasing of eggs from a reliable breeder of stock of known vigor and worth, for the chick, like members of the human family, has the right to be well born and should be given that fight by proceeding as above. After we have made things ready for the reception of the hen, who should have been left for three days on the nest to prove her good intentions, we remove her after dark to the nest prepared as follows: In a box about 12x14x20 inches we have turned on its side we place a shovelful of moist earth, loam preferred, in which had been mixed a small shovel- ful of coal ashes, and on this the nest material of straw without grain in it, shaping bo as not to leave toofl.it, neither eo deep as to hinder the hen in turning the eggs— the form of a saucer is about right and over all we sprinkle a good sup- ply of lice powder. This done, we dust biddy freely with the same and consign her to her three weeks of loneBomeness. Have your nest room in a quiet spot sheltered and not too light, provide a dust bath, good sound grain and fresh water daily and twice during incubation dust the hen freely and you may be assured of a good hatch. It is usual with us to set two or more hens at one time, as in so doing if the weather be such as to permit two broods may be given the one hen to mother and the other hen returned to the yards and other dutieB. Eggs should be tested at the end of ten days and all infertile ones removed, thus giving more room to the fertile ones and lessening the chances of nest soiling by broken eggs. Should this happen at any time, and it does fre- quently where hens are used, take a basin of warm water and wash the eggs, dry carefully and return to the nest prepared with clean straw and no harm has been done. It will do no harm to confine the hen to the nest the first day by a screen in front of the nest and removing thiB the second morning, giving the hen a chance at feed and water, by which time in usual cases she will be true to her trust. — American Poultry Journal.

Milch cows require from five to ten gallons of water each per day, and they should have it distributed along as they feel the need of it. It often happens that the corner of the pasture nearest to the wind mill may be supplied with water through a pipe at small ex- pense. Where it is possible to do this cows will do enough better to repay the expense in a short time. Driven wells are bo quickly put down and so satisfactory that it often payB to drive a well at the intersection of three or four fields, then by laying pipes below froBt, water may be had where needed any time during open weather. Abundance of water is very important in the dairy. The quality of the water also should be taicen into consideration. Good water is wholesome and cows do better when furnished with pure, cold water in abundance. Some wells are wet weather wells, they receive the water from the upper layers of the soil and when the rains cease the well goeB dry. Such a well is a nuisance in dry weather and a menance to the health of the cowb at all times. Abundance of good water has a direct influence on toe health of the cows. If permuted to drink whenever tbey want to cows keep healthier and are Beldoni or never truubled with disease. Some farmers lose enough cows each year to buy a good wind mill.

The Hay Market. ^cott cc Magnar's report of the hay mar- ket issue last week says there has been a decided firmness shown throughout the market (or the best classeB of hay. The retailers are in the market for choice wheat hay and choice tame oat bay. There ha9 been but little of these varieties arriv- ing on this market for the last fe weeks, therefore there has been an advance in prices on all such offerings. However, the medium and poorer varieties of hay, are Btill b ing offered freely, at the low figures that have prevailed for soma time. Bach poorer varieties are slow to sell, as the demand seems to be anything but brisk, and therefore a decided effort is necessary to move off such consignments. The San Francisco Hay Association has just completed the account of hay on hand May let with a result showing on that date of 47,400 tons as against 22,470 tone on the same date last year, being an excess of 24,930 tonB. The larger propor- tion of the above stock consists of medium and poorer varieties of last year's crop and it is expected that considerable of this hay may necessarily be carried over iato next season. late reports from our various large hay districts tend to show, that while the volunteer that was cut had been damaged by tne rani to «uch an extent that it may not be marketed here, yet a good crop of hay ie expected to he harvested. Export demand for hay lias been de- cidedly light, and nothiog tending toward large shipments it lence. There has been no alfalfa hay arriving lately, and the demand for this article is decidedly small at this time, and thesame can be also said of clover hav. Straw has been arriving moderately under a light demand, and selling at un- Ch. Ice wheat hay, $13 to $14; wheal or wheat and oat, $11 to $12; No. 2 'ir wheat and oat $9 to $1" r" >"* 11 ; wi!

It is simply a fixed conviction that the cow Btanchion is a bad tie. For yearB I've watched the Btanchion and the poor victims fastened with them, says Kimball's Dairy Farmer. I've used them myself for years and know what I'm talking about. I finally gave my own cows relief by giving them a loose stall. Get down your old histories and you will see pictures of the stocks used in early days to fasten people by the wrists and ankle9, or by the neck and wrists. These were uBed solely for punishment. Just imagine, if you can, being fastened in one position for — well, I'll put it easy — one hour. Can't move or change posi- tion. Can't rub your nose when it tickles. Can't scratch your head when a loose hair irritates. You can't get at the fly or mosquito that is almost driving you crazy. Just one hour! That's easy. Try it! You would get used to it if you were fastened that way all the time. That's your infernal argument when you defend the rigid Btanchion. Just as though cattle can ever get used to itchings, tick- lings, fly bites and monotonous positions! You say they don't feel these things. I say you know better. See if you can touch a cow's hair so lightly that she will not feel it and switch ber tail. Did you ever see a cow try to rub her rump against the cow next to her? Did you ever imagine she had no itching feeling on that rump? Did you ever see a whole line of cowb knocked over by the wild efiort of one to rub her rump against something? Did yon ever see those cows step on the tail, leg or udder of a cow that happened to be lying down? I have, and you can. Did you ever see the cowb slip to their knees when trying to reach a little more feed in the manger? Did you ever see them slip off into the gutter with both hind feet and come down with a terrible jolt? Have you ever noticed the calloused spots on the knees of stanchion-tied cows? I have, and you can. It is my opinion that rigid stanchions should be prohibited by law aB a cruelty to animals. Other ties can be used. There are many kinds that will give quite a bit of freedom and comfort. The best are none too good. Would you put your horses in Etaneh- 10ns? Just as fair for one as for another kind of animal. It would save barn space. It would save halters. Wouldn't they get used to it just as you say cattle do? Trv it on horses. The American Royal Live Stock Show, the real live stock show of this country, where all meet in friendly com- petition for the betterment of the one object — live stock — will bein session this year October 9 to 14. The time of meet- ing is wisely and carefully selected, being at the close of the fair season, when all attention is turned in that direction. And the location, Kansas City, Mo., could not be better. It is the center of the great western live stock interests of the west, and breeders from all direc- tions will be there to participate and compete for some of the premium?, which will amount to $25,000. Of this, 320,000 is contributed by cattle and horse breeders' associations and $5000 by the people of Kansas City.

Ask nearest agent of the SOUTHERN PACIFIC 613 Market Street When turning beef or dairy cattle on a fresh pasture, watch them to see that they do not bloat. Bloat may be easily and simply remedied, but there are a number of fatalities from it, and unless the farmer knows what he is doing there is small hope for the bloated animal. Bloat is the result of an overdose of green stuff and the formation of gas in the rumen, so don't let the animals fill tht-ir paunches with it too quickly. Sober up on Jackson's Napa Soda.

Occasionally I notice inquiries from young men who are thinking about going into dairy farming for a life work, as to the work necessary, and the time it re- quires and attention. To these inquires I would answer that those who are about to take up dairying must be prepared to work steadily and energetically the year round, writes S. J. Burton in Jersey Bulletin. A herd of dairy cows must be watered, fed, groomed and milked, and the milk attended to with regularity two or three times a day, seven days a week and 52 weeks a year. This work is bound to be done be it wet or dry, cold or warm, rain or snow. All the time you can give to your herd will be paid for if the time has been rightly applied. A well-grcnmed, well- fed herd of good dairy cows will pay for the extra time that haB been put in on them by increased milk How ami butter production, as the yield of both thete is dependent on a contented state of bovine being. Dairy farming is only for those who are ready to put their whole hearts into the business, and offers man} chances for the healthy man who is not afraid of hard work nor long hours The remunera- tion from honest labor bestowed on the dairy farm is ample tor all needs of this world if proper use is made of what we get, and that is all we get anywhere. If H is ease and luxury a man is looking for he will have to look elsewhere than on the dairy farm. $IOO REWARD for any case of colic, curb, splints, contracted or knotted cords, recent shoe boils, splints or callous that cannot be per- manently and positively cured, if directions are followed, by TUTTLE'S ELIXIR.

IF YOU ARE, READ THIS: We wish to call the attention of those interested in Draft Horses that we are fully determined to close out our Stallions in the next four weeks. In color they are mostly blaoks— a few dark greys. One of them a five-year old. Weight 2100 pounds. One of the finest wb imported has a fine, small head and throat latch, very short In the back with a draft middle; Is clean in the limbs and has been very much admired by all who have seen him. We have two other dark greys that are very much admired on account of quality and size. In our collection of thirty head of Stallions the first sales were greys. We have one dark bay with black points, no white; coming four years old, weight 2050 pounds. We will guarantee him to weigh at maturity 2400 pounds. He is much admired for hie fine head and throat latch and short back. His limbs are first-class and in proportion to his body. These Stallions are not like some other breeds that we have with the thickest part of the neok at the top end. They have size, quality and enduranoe. We have quite a number of black stallions, four and five years old, weighing from 1900 to 2000 pounds Their good qualities are too numerous to men- tion. They are as ''fine as peaohes," with fine head and throat latoh and very olean limbed. We never had a barn of as good Stallions at any place as we have at present in San Jose. These Stal- lions are ready any day for service. People say that there Is at present tho brightest prospect for good crops in this country that has been for years Wny will not the farmer improve his horse stock and also the prosperity of the com- munity in which he lives? We now have twenty head of good Stallions to select from. C. F. Singmaster, the senior member of the firm, has been in San Jose for the past five weeks and is proud to say we have had extremely good snccess In making sales. Have met with only two fail- ures in making sales and that was sometime ago when people were a little afraid of drouth. We espeot the parties to come back now any day, as we have had fine rains and prospects for the farmer and stock raiser never were better. Intending purchasers will do well to come soon and see our stock or horses, and we are very sure they will go home with a good Stallion. Where they pay cask we make a liberal discount. In our next shipment will be some good registered draft mares. MANAGER FOR Singmaster & Sons' San Jose Branch 137 St. John Street, San Jose, Cal.

The above dam? in this youns stallion's pedigree are the choicest. The first dam is a young brood mare with a record of 2:185£; the second dam is the dam or 5 in the list with recordsof 2: 14,3: 17H,2:I^M.2:18?i. 2:27, respec- tively; the 'hird dam was the dam of 6 with records. 2:21*4, 2:21 =£, 2:26*4 etc , was the dam of the great sire Pancoast, who founded a great family, and the good sires Balzec Chief and Bezant and the good brood mare Cora Mia; the fourth dam was the dam if McCurdy's Hambletonian 2:26%, a good sire and also the dam of the great sire Belmont sire of Nut- wood, etc. Hence from his dams have come two great families — the Beimont-Nutwood and the Pancoast-Patron-Patronage-Prodi- gal families The dam of the siie and the dams of the sires of the first and second dams were great brood mares who were also the dams of other great sires. Venus, the dam of Sidney Dillon, was the damof Cupid 2:18, who produced we 1; Lady Bunker, the dam of Guy Wilkes, was the dam of Wm L., sire of Axtel, and El Mahdi 2:25% and Declaration, who were each tne sire of several good ones: Dolly, the dam of Director, was the dam of Onward 2:25^ and Thorndale 2:22, both of which were great sires. The above sires, the sire of this colt and the sires of the first, second, third and fourth dams, have each produced one or more world record holders. They have also produced many others who were the gamest, the most level headed and the largest money winners in the trotting world. The first four trace in the male line to Hambletonian 10 through ancestors which, in each and every genera- tion, have been the best producers of their day and have been better producers than their sires or grandsires. In DILLCARA'S pedi- gree there are sis crosses of Hambletonian 10, each of which goes to him through only the best producing lines, and five crosses of Mam- brino Chief, each of which goes to him through dams that have been extraordinary producers.

GREEN'S RUFUS The Baywood Stud, San Mateo HORSEMEN SHOULD REMEMBER that any accident to sulky or harness, caused by the breaking of any part thereof, is not an unavoidable one. The highest boards of authority in both the American and National Associations have repeatedly 80 held, and yet judges every year allow horses to stay in races after they have finished behind the flag owing to accidents of this sort. The American Asso- ciation board had one of these cases before it at the recent meeting in Chicago. At the Kewanee, 111., meeting last fall one of the starters in the 2:38 trot was the mare Queen Bee. On her work she looked to be the best of the field, and this impression was strengthened when the word for the first heat was given, as the mare took the track at ooce and was soon several lengths ahead of the other horses. But before she had gone around the first turn one of the thills of the sulky broke. The driver, who had his wits with him, supported the damaged part of the rig ■vith the toe of one boot, and in that way finished the mile in the rear of the other horses and behind the distance flag. As Queen Bee had not interfered with the other horses the judges allowed her to start again in spite of the protests of others in the race, with the result that she went on and won. Then an appeal was taken, and the case tried at the recent meeting. The judges testified that in their opinion the accident was unavoidable, although such would not appear to horse- men to be the case. The board took a common sense view of the matter, holding that as the accident was not the result of another horse colliding with or in- terfering with Queen Bee her mishap should not be placed in the favored class. The appeal was, there- fore, sustained, and the money awarded to Queen Bee by the judges ordered to be paid to the other horses that finished in the first four positions. THE STATE FAIR DIRECTORS will meet in Sac- ramento on Friday next, June 2d, to pass upon the program of racing which will then be submitted by the Speed Committee and which has already been printed in these columns. The program provides for six days raeing and is complete in every way, the purses generous and the conditions liberal. At the same meeting bids will be opened for construction of the fences around the new property and the erection of box stalls and several buildings. Grading of the new track is already under way and the course is ex- pected to be one of the best and fastest ever con. structed for harness racing in Caliiornia and will be made especially good for winter training as thorough drainage iB being provided for. There is a great deal of interest being taken in the new State Fair by the make it a big success. There will be three or four hundred horses there by the beginning of the week of the meeting, and the attendance promises to be very large as excursions are to be run from all points within a radius of 50 miles of Fresno. Entries for the Fresno meeting will not close until June 15th, which gives every horseman a chance to know that his horses will be ready. San Jose Correspondence San Jose, May 24 — If the predictions of a number of prominent horsemen are true, San Jose will soon be able to boast of two of the fastest three-year-olds ever worked on any track. There was a large crowd at Recreation Park last Wednesday to see the trotters and pacers work out. About the best that day was a brush on the last quar- ter between Dr. Hammond 2:12 and the three-year-old pacing colt Highfly, owned by T. W. Barstow. High- fly has a two-year-old record of 2:25J. The two horses worked a mile in 2:29J and just before they came to last quarter they began stepping. Half way through the stretch the colt carried the great trotter so fast that he was compelled to leave his feet. When the colt passed under the wire the watches registered the last quarter in 31J, a 2.07 clip. The youngster last June, with only four months handling, stepped a full mile in 2:17|. On Thursday Mr. Barstow stepped his three-year- old filly, Just It, who made the quarter in the same remarkable time of 31 J, while many of the time-pieces registered 31£. It has been remarked by Budd Doble, the well- known reinsman of Lou Dillon, the queen of the turf, that Just It and Highfly were the two best three- year-olds in the Golden State, owned by one man. Other competent judges think it very probable that they can be made to go the mile in 2:10, barring ac- cidents. Should Mr. Barstow succeed in this he will be the owner of the only stallion in the world that ever put two three-year-olds in the 2:10 list in one season. The two recognized comers are by Nearest 2:22}, a full brother to John A. McKerron, that great trotting Etallion, the best of the Wilkes family, and the sec- ond fastest in the world. Nearest was the first eight- year-old stallion to get one below 2:10. He is the sire of Alone 2:09| as a four-year-old. From present in- dications it looks as though she could pace a mile this seasou in 2:03, as she paced a mile last fall in 2:06|. Mr. Jack Curry will drive her this season in her races. Mr. Curry handled the reins when Prince Alert made 1:57 and Joe Patchen 2:02J. Garcia. Answers to Correspondents. E. E. K., Bridgeport, Cal. — The bay stallion Leo Nolan was by Herald, dam Amanda by Jim Brown, grandam Susan by Warwick, third dam Folly by Planet. He was bred by Chas. Kerr, Antrim Farm, Cal., and was foaled in 1900. He started twice in his two-year-old form at Ingleside, running fourth to High Chancellor, Tom Mitchell and Montezuma in his first race at four furlongs in 0:50 and being left at the post in his next start. He has not raced since. We cannot find that Don Pedro was ever registered or raced. If you own a two or three year old filly that is well bred and paid up on to date in either the Breeders Futurity, Occident or Stanford Stakes, and want to sell, see Mr. J. W. Zibbell, proprietor of the training stable at 672, 11th avenue, back of the Chutes. He wants to buy a likely filly to win one of those stakes with this year or next. The San Francisco Wheel and Novelty Company has sold to Mr. J. Desschler, the owner of Lucky Prince, a fine new model Flower City speed cart in which ho will drive the fast and handsome roadster, with which he won the second race on the program Butchers' Day at Oakland track. Western Racing Circuit Opens Tomorrow. Albuquerque, N. M., May 20.— The first annual spring meet of the Albuquerque Spring Racing Asso- ciation members of the Western racing circuit sill be held in this city on May 28, 29, 30 and 31, and promises to be the greatest race meet ever held in any city or town in the Southwest. Over 100 horses are stabled at the race course, among them being animals owned by G. H. Estabrook, Samuel S. Bernard, Thos. Stark, S. J. Crabtree and other horsemen of Colorado Springs, Utah and Kansas. Joe McGuire, trainer and driver of the Estabrook horses, is here with the avowed intention of taking the track record from Barnett's Stranger, which was wrestled from Winfield Stratton at the Territorial fair la6t fall. He also says that he is going after the two $1000 trotting and pac- ing stake races with Flora, Iora and others of the Estabrook stables. McGuire will find that the local horsemen are loaded for him, Joe Barnett having added Clara B, a a fast goer from California, to his string, which Sheriff Thomas S. Hubbell has purchased from W. A. Clark, Jr., and Dr. John F. Pearce has just se- cured Master Delmar, brother of Major Delmar, also from Mr. Clark. These three new Albuqueque horses have been at Agricultural Park, Los Angeles, the past winter. The harness events are as follows: First day, May 28—2:13 pace. $1000; 2:23 trot, $500. Second day, May 29 — 2:35 pace, $500. Third day, May 30—2:17 trot, $500; 2:15 pace, $500. Fourth day, May 31— Free for all pace, $500; 2:35 trot, $1000. The Albuquerque Daily Citizen will give $100 if track record is broken. Matinee at Denver. Denver, May 20th.— Despite the many rains of the week the Gentlemen's Riding and Driving Club held its matinee this afternoon on a fairly fast track. The meet was to have been held last Saturday, but owing to there being three inches of mud on the track it was postponed. The best time made was 1:10}, by Claudie C, a very promising horse owned by J. M. Herbert. Owing to the unsettled condition of the weather the attendance was not very large. The summary: First event, named trot. Minnie Wilkes (C.I.Chittenden) 1 1 1 WalterB (R. R. Wright Jr.) 2 2 2 Best iime— 1:20. Second event, 1:20 pace. Larry Wilkes ( J. A. Burnett) 1 1 Easter Lily (J. K. Stuart) 2 2 Frank M — (George Ady) 3 3 Peter (Dr. Van Hummell) 4 4 Best time— 1:11. Third event 1:12 trot. Claudie C ( J. M. Herbert) 1 1 Lady Sibley (Guy Little) 2 2 Best time— 1:10m. Fourth event, named pace. Lookout (Ed Matthews) 1 1 Little Ruby (L. H. Hamer) 2 2 Best time— l:13?i. Entered This Year in Big Stakes. A correspondent of the Chicago Horseman who writes over the pen name of "Old Sport" has the fol- lowing to say of a gelding by Nutwood Wilkes, that took a three-year-old record of 2:12 in California and was afterwards sold East for a long price: "The grey horse Who Is It, after a rather checkered career here as a matinee horse, has bobbed upserenely in Providence, R. I., as the property of Stephen J. Tingley. Some two years ago the millionaire real es- tate broker, R. C. Taylor and his son William essayed to have a horse that was king of the boulevard. Ac- cordingly John Knobbe was consulted and as a result Who Is It was purchased. Although the horse was possessed of great speed be did not show it on the boulevard, consequently after two years' trial was traded off and was heard of in Springfield where he trotted very fast. He had a record of 2:10}, and those who have seen him since he has been In good hands report him eligible to the fast stakes that he is entered at and it costs good money to be entered there. Who Is It is entered in the Massachusetts Stake at Readville and the Empire State $10,000 Stake at Buffalo. There is no doubt but that Who Is It is in good hands, Is very fast and good results are looked for from him." Mr. A. Hoffman, the San Francisco jeweler, who won the two mile race Butchers' Day with his fast pacing mare Kitty D by Dictatus, has a brand new McMurray sulky for her that he bought from the Kenney Manufacturing Company, Coast agents for this vehicle.

THE GREATEST NEED ol the popular sport c* harness racing iu California at the present time Is the organization of an actual circuit. There will be a circuit of five or six weeks of good racing this year, but it has organized itself and the associations giving the meetings that comprise it have had no conferences or agreements as to dates, conditions or purses, but each meeting so lar announced has taken such dates as the association giving it could get with- out waiting for the approval or consent of any other organization. The breeders and trainers of trotting and pacing horses in California are the gamest and most confiding people on eartfc. They begin training every year in January, gettiDg ready for the few meetings which they expect to see announced for the California circuit, and hoping that out of their strings will come two or three crackerjacks that will sell for a big price or that they can themselves take across the mountains to the big circuit that opens in July at Detroit. These owners and trainers come up smiling every year and spend a pile of money in breeding and training When the time comes for opening the harness racing season they find the Breeders associa- tion has announced a couple of weeks racing, the State Fair down for a week or two and one or two other associations have taken a week each. The eight or ten which they expected has dwindled to four or five. The result is discouraging, of course, but as hope springs eternal in the horseman's breast he does not permit a little disappointment to put him out of business, and as soon as the new year comes in is again training as many as he can afford to and hoping for a chance to race them. This condition of things should be entirely changed. California is large in area and has a comparatively sparse population but it is the best harness horse breeding country on earth and cculd support a circuit of ten or twelve weeks good racing every year. It only needs a few men with enterprise, vim and energy who will organize a circuit. There is a good mile track at nearly every town of five thousand inhabitants in the State, and were these tracks under the control of a regularly organized circuit, harness racing would soon resume its old time prestige. The Los Angeles horsemen who stepped in and organized an association this year, selected the first week in July for their meeting, put up $15,000 in cash for a list of purses and announced their intention of giving two meetings each year, did more to boom harness racing here and put it on a good footing than has been done by any other organization in California for yea-s. All that is now needed is for the horsemen of a few other towns to follow their lead. Fresno should have a club that would give annual meetings. There should be one at Stockton, another at Pleasanton, one at San Jose, one at Santa Rosa, one at Woodland and clubs could also be organized at Red Bluff, Marysville, Salinas, Hollis- ter, Vallejo, Petaluma and other places that could be members of a California circuit. Delegates from these clubs should meet annually in January and arrange dates, then announce purses early, so that the training and breedicg of trotters and pacers would be greatly stimulated. Unless this is done next year, or some similar plan followed, the training and racing of har- ness horses will be of very little moment in California. The Los Angeles Association, the Breeders and the State Fair are the only organizations that are in active service at the present time, and while they give splendid racing, draw good crowds and hang up large purses, their meetings are hardly numerous enough to be dignified with the name of circuit. There should be at least ten weeks of harness racing here every year. We have the horses, the tracks and the people who enjoy the spurt, but we lack organizations to give meetings. Dates should be claimed in January, and programs published as early as March or April each year. Then horse owners would know what to depend on, and whether it would pay to train their horses. I notice that many stallion owners are complaining that fewer mares are being bred this year than last. The cause is not the condition of the market as that Is good, but it is ihu ,'ailure of many places wherethere ara good mile tracks, to announce meetings. When the boys are talking about the coming races, owners get the spirit and book their mart--, but when the tracks are idle and the racing spirit dead, the mares are not bred at all or sent to the draft and coach stal- lions to produce horses for pulling plows, express wagons and carriages. road drivers and trainers who wished to race for small purses. The club usually held two or three meetings a year at which the purses ranged from $100_ . The horses were classified according to their speed at the time and not by their records, a com- mittee, who were familiar with them all, doing this work. Oakland, Ingleside, Tanforan, Vallejo and Petaluma tracks have been utilized for meetings, many of which were quite successful. The club was not a member of either the National or American As- sociations and suspended men and horses weie per- mitted to compete. Bookmaking was the system on which the betting was conducted and the privilege was sold to one person who generally laid cinch odds, and kept a very keen lookout to see that he was not beaten out of his bank roll on some one race. The club had a very large membership at one time, but the manner in which its racing was conducted did not appeal to those who like to see good contests, and the result was that few really good horses have started at its meetings in the past few years. The old speedway in Golden Gate Park was utilized by the club on several occasions for matinee racing, but as spectators had but a partial view of the races, it was not a very popular place for meetings. The completion of the new three-quarter mile oval track, now in course of construction in Golden Gate Park, will furnish an ideal place for matinee racing, and this has led some of the members of the club to start a movement towards reorganizing it on an improved plan. It is now proposed to allow none but amateur drivers to become members and no money or other prizes except ribbons or cups will be contested for. A new consti- tution and by laws has been adopted and will soon he printed for distribution among the members. By the time the new track in Golden Gate Park is completed this club will be ready to give an inaugural matinee over it in which the leading road drivers of San Fran- cisco will drive their horses. It is a real pleasure to announce that this club, which has among its oldest members many of San Francisco's solid citizens and business men, proposes to be run on a high plane here- after. Los Angeles has an amateur driving club that is not excelled in management or personel by any club in the United States, and San Francisco has plenty of material for one of the same sort. If both could be members of the League of Amateur Driving Clubs of Ameiica, it would be possible in the future to have amateur meets in both cities that would be partici- pated in by some of the leading amateur drivers of Cleveland, Buffalo, New York and other Eastern cities. Agitato 2:09 went through a New York sale re- cently and brought $175. He once held the world's record of 2:09} for three-year-olds, but is a gelding twelve-year-old and a has-been so far as racing is con- cerned. He was worth $10,000 when a three-year-old, but if you imagine for a minute that $475 is a small price for him now, do a little investigating and ascer- tain what an automobile that sells for $10,000 when it is new will bring at auction nine years later. When you get through figuring on this problem you will probably conclude that a good horse is a better in- vestment than one of those "benzine buggies." While horse stories are going around, the Daily Register of Tulare, does not propose to be left, so it tells one about a two-year-old pacer that was sold there last week for $13,000. I will spell it out (thirteen thousand dollars) for fear some horseman will think it is a misprint. Mr George W. Kirkham was the seller and Mr. George A. Pounder of Los Angeles the buyer. Jacob Broliar trained the colt, which is by the stallion Stoneway, and showed a mile with him just before the sale, but was not per- mitted to tell the reporter of the Register how fast the mile was. He stated however that "weather and track conditions being taken into consideration it was a record beater." The paper also added that one of the conditions of the sale was an agreement that "Little Jim" (that's the colt's name) was to be per- mitted to return to Tulare the coming fall "to take part in a race already negotiated with the owners of two Hanford horses, if these gentlemen at that time shall be in the notion of running, which is doubtful." The Italics are mine. With pardonable pride the winds up its story about Little Jim with the following: "One or two more productions like this little wonder will give Tulare's training course a national reputation among horsemen. Tulare county possesses ideal conditions for the development of stock of all kinds, and especially for bone and muscle and speed in the horse." H, Matinee at Riverside. Tbedolden Gate Park Driving Association has been reorgrnized recently and a largo number of its old is dropped from the roll. Thi9 club was illy organized by a number of San Francisco The second matinee race meet of the Riverside Club was a grand success. Seven events were pulled off to the satisfaction of all. The day was perfect, the track good, the speed committee did excellent work in classifying the horses, and the crowd cheered their favorites at the half-mile as lustily as at the finish. The first race on the program was the 2:35 claBS trot. This event was especially exciting as in it both clubs had entries — Freda S. owned by J. B. Mullen and Teddy Home owned by John N. Home of Colton. These horBes were not quite fast enough to beat the good mare Flash from Santa Ana, but they kept her stepping from start to finish; Freda S. giving her a lively turn the first heat and started for her in a grand rush in the second heat, but went to a break; Teddy Home taking up what seemed to be out of Freda's reach, but he could not quite heat Flash under the wire. Time— 2:29, 2:28. The second event was the 2:25 pace. In this was Norda owned by Bonnell & Prescott of the San Ber- nardino Club, Willit, owned by Secretary Wilson of the Riverside Club, and Billy the Kid, owned by E. E. Walters of Riverside. This race was the fastest of the day, but not up to the expectations of those who know the speed of Norda, as she did not take to the many short turns on the track kindly, leaving her feet on them and Willit a winner. Time — 2:21, 2:19. The third event 2:36 pace was won by Dewey in straight heats, but not without a struggle, as Betty Raymond and Ada R. kept him close to the pole and at his speed limit. Time— 2:291, 2:27. The fourth event, three minute mixed class, had eight entries, the start being in sections. The speed committee deserve special praise for their classifica- tion of the event as the animals were all very closed matched; won by Steel Dust. Time— 2:46, 2:43, 2:40. Second heat to White Stockings. The fifth event 2:40 pace for the Baxter and Wilson cup a beautiful trophy which looked good to E. D. Roberts of the San Bernardino Club, and he acted as though he had designs on it from the first, but Mr E. F. Binder, President of the Riverside Club had won it once, and did not concede to Mr. Roberts' wishes until the third heat, and it is no way certain that he would have had to do so then if he had not had a very severe fall and broken rib tocontend with. Time — 2:32, 2:30, 2:30}, Fernwood taking the second heat. The sixth event 2:45 mixed had four entries. ThiB was a finely matched quartette; Maude, bay mare, from Highgrove taking the first heat. Bob Neernut with L. Foster driving took the second heat. Lau- retta in her maiden race took third heat; the fourth heat Maude gave her personal attention to and won it. Time— 2:35, 2:35, 2:33, 2:35J. The seventh event 2:50, mixed. This race was won by another of the great Dewey family in straight heats. Time — 2:33, 2:31. Adolantha a very close second in the last heat. It was patent to all that the many short turns of the track were a severe handicap to the horses of the San Bernardino Club. As they would hardly'get straightened away at full speed before they would have to take a turn, and necessarily a change in the poise of the body and length of the stride to negotiate the turns at the same gait. The clubs fraternize splendidly but they make "no bones" of saying to each other we are out for all the cups hung up. Alcantellum. Stepping Along at Fresno. Reports from Fresno say that the track was never in better shape and that all the horse? in training there are beginning to step along some. Schuyler Walton has worked Geo. L. Warlow's three-year-old colt Athasham 2:20 a mile in 2:24}, with a half in 1:10 and a quarter in 33 seconds; his two-year-old trotter Stanford McKinney a quarter at a 2:40 gait and Marty McKay's pacing mare Thedona Athadon two halves in 1:03} and 1:03}. The three-year-old pacer Dan S. by Athablo, dam by Daybreak has worked in 2:27}, half in 2:111 for W. H. Middleton and this trainer has also worked the green trotter Baldy Girl by Junio a quarter in 36 seconds and Fred Smith by Strathway and Boline by Bolinas, quarters at a 2:30 gait. Joe Depoister has ridden a mile in 2:32 behind Milton Gear by Harry Gear and a half in 1:13 behind the three-year-old pacer Guy Miller by Guy McKinney. Charley Clark has a lot of promising green ones but has been going slow with them. America Leads in Driving Horses. Mr. A. Lowndes Scott, of Piedmont, Alameda county, California, who has been traveling abroad for some time, writes the Breeder and Sportsman from Berlin, Germany, that he has seen many fine draft animals in Europe, especially in Berlin, but that he has seen no driving horses that compare with the standard bred horses of America. He also says he has seen no place to compare with California although he has circled the globe since leaving home. Mr. Scott sends us a photograph of a pair of Belgian work horses, taken on the streets of Antwerp, which shows a very fine pair of animals. Mr. Scott owns the mare Laura Dell by Boydell, dam by Challenge that will foal to Searchlight 2:03} this year. Laura Dell has trialed in 2:24 and is a fast and game mare.

Monroe Salisbury Aid not stop over at Denver on his way East with the Butler horses. Laud Gates' mare Dewdrop knocked five seconds from her former trial by trotting a mile in 2:17 at San Jose last Saturday. Mr. Gates was present to see her do it and is much pleased with the way Willard Zib- bell is handling her. Several of the best mares owned at the Nutwood Stock Farm are being bred this year to Lord Aylwin an own brother to John A McKerron 2:04£. Lord Aylwin is a pacer and showed a very high rate of speed as a two-year-old. He is now three. Eddie Mitchell writes from England that he has set Cresceus' brother, The Hangman, to pacing and that he can fly at that gait. Mr. I. C. Mosher, of Los Angeles, worked his three- year-old Osolo by Zombro a mile in 2:211 and the heat was trotted without a skip. Tiverton, Dr. Strong, George G. and Sweet Marie would make a quartette for a 2:05 class that would draw quite a crowd at any old track. Lisonjero 2:08J by Dexter Prince wears the lighest shoes worn on the Memphis track. They are made of aluminum and weigh but 21 ounces. Zephyr 2:11 by Zombro is said to have grown and filled out until she weighs about 1100 pounds. She is entered all through the Grand Circuit. Sweet Marie 2:04| will probably make her first start at Detroit as $2000 has been offered for a race between the California mare and Tiverton 2:04J. An Eastern paper says Murray Howe worked a mile In 2:20 at Memphis last week but fails to state whether it referred to the horse or the Secretary. Pearl Sinclair, the pacing mare by Hanford Medium named by P. E. Wright in the pacing classes on the circuit this year is out of the dam of Kelly Briggs. Tom Axworthy trotted the first quarter of the Memphis track in 301 seconds two weeks ago. He is getting ready to reduce his four-year-old mark of 2:08$. Twenty-five dollars extra spent in educating and grooming a horse to properly fit him for market will often add from $50 to $100 and sometimes much more than that to his selling value. James Thompson reaohed Cleveland May 12th with his string of campaigners and sale horses. All arrived in good shape and the "hoss critics" are much pleased with John Caldwell's condition. Sterling McKinney, the young stallion by McKinney out of a Director mare, worked a mile in 2:26J recently at Memphis and is booked for a mile below 2:20 this year. He is owned by Mr. Sterling Holt, owner of Sidney Dillon. A duty of twenty per cent is collected on all American horses shipped into Canada unless they are registered. Fifty dollars iB the lowest valuation placed on a horse, so it costs at least ten dollars for duty at the Canada custom houses. The stallion Silver Bow, Jr., which Mr. Isaac More- house has named in the 2:27 trot for the Breeders August meeting is going sound this year and if he gets to the raoes all right will make the horse that beats him trot very fast. Horsemen who have visited Fresno recently spean in the very highest terms of the Fresno track. No pains will be spared to have it in the very best condi- tion for fast work when the Breeders meeting is held there, and some fast records will doubtless be hung up before the close of the racing. Thos. Drais of Farmington owns a two-year-old colt by his stall'on Guy McKinney, dam Blanche Ward, the dam of China Maid 2:05}, that is a natural and fast trotter and large fine colt. Blanche Ward is by Onward. She is the second dam of Guy McKinney, so this two-year-old bears the same relationship to Guy McKinney that the very fast filly Delilah 2:16} as a two-year-old, doeB to Zolock 2:09}. Maud Sears 2:21 by Wayland W., dam by Poscora Hay ward is expected to drop a foal by Greco in a few days, and will be mated with Nutwood Wilkes this year. Greco was taken to Eureka last week and will be bred to a number of high class mares there this year. Chris Smith's McKinney colt out of She 2:12J is showing great speed at the trot. John Phippen is handling him at San Jose and is making a fast trotter out of him. This colt was gelded last year, which greatly improved his manners and now he seems to know nothing but trot. The entries made by Dan McCarthy for the Breed- ers meeting will not start as the wearer of the white hat was refused membership in the Breeders Associa- tion. It is said that the Zombro mare, Briquette, got all out of fix soon after she reached Denver, but is now in good shape again and taking her usual amount of work. Tidal Wave by Nutwood Wilkes and Virginia by Bob Mason were worked a mile in 2:10 at Los Angeles last week, Virginia being slightly in the lead at ohe finish. Sweet Marie 2:04} is now at Albany, New York in Alta McDonald's string. She left California without a blemish — not even so much as a wind puff on any of her limbs. The California horses that have been entered at Detroit, Buffalo and Readville, are nearly all entered in the big stakes to be trotted and paced at Syracuse, New York. ' Oro Belmont by Oro Wilkes, the trotter that Ray Bennett will race on the California tracks this season, is out of Muscovia, the dam of the $6000 three-year- old Mamie R. 2:15}. The American Ticket Brokers Association, which convened at Chicago last week, elected the well-known horseman, A. Ottinger of San Francisco, as President for the ensuing year. At the recent Chicago sale Chiming Bells, a five- year-old Drown mare by Chimes, dam Alicia Bell by Liberty Bells, brought $2800, but no other horse sold brought as much as $1000. The eight-year-year-old mare Gussuro by Wildnut, dam Sweetwater by Stamboul, was driven a half in 1:05, last quarter in 30| seconds, over the Readville, Mass. track a few days ago. Gussuro is an own sister to that very promisine trotter Wilmar in John Quinn's string at Santa Rosa. T. C. Cabney, who trained and campaigned the sensational trotter Morosco 2:12 last year has opened "a new boarding and training stable near the corner of Devisadero and Fulton streets this city and will board and train horses for matinee or regular racing, or for road work. Mr. Cabney has a brand new stable, commodious box Btalls and a good location. A two-year-old by Coronado 2:12} trotted a mile in 2:23 at Los Angeles last week. Every colt by this horse shows speed and he is as certain to be a great sire as he lives. His service fee is $50 now, but the day will come when he will be like his sire McKinney — so extensively patronized that his fee will be increased to keep his book down to a reasonable number. Clifford Best, commonly known as "Sticks, " died recently at Los Angeles, Cal. , of consumption. He was very popular among horsemen. W. A. Clark, Jr., provided for him duriDg his illness and bore the ex- pense of the funeral. "Sticks" made a business of selling score cards at Grand Circuit meetings. The name "Sticks" was given him on account of his having but one leg. The Down East Sale catalogue issued by the Fasig- Tipton Company shows that nearly 500 horses were consigned to the sale which has been going on this week at Boston. James Thompson took two Mc- Kinneys to the sale — Eleata McKinney, a brown filly two-year old out of Elden, the dam of Eleata 2:081, and Flyaway, a four-year-old black filly out of a mare by Memo. Both are trotters. Vision by Vanquish, the Oregon mare that Fred Ward will take through the California circuit, took her record of 2:121 at Boise, Idaho, in 1903. She started eight times last year on the Northern circuit but only managed to win one heat which was in 2:19. She was not right at any time during the year, but if she hits our fast California tracks in shape this year there will be something doing. We are pleased to know that Mr. R. P. Lathrop of Hollister is the owner of Diva, the dam of Helen Keys, the fast mare in the Butler string. Mr. Lathrop writes: "Diva is a very fine individual and is proving herself a great broodmare. At the time I bought her Bhe had a L. W. Russell colt by her side, which I sold at eight months old for $200 He went to Elko, Nevada to go into the stud at the proper time for a large stock farm there. I have a yearling also from her now by the same sire, L. W. Russell, and she has a colt by her side, as fine a one as one ever looked at, by DictatuB Medium and she is stinted again to the same horse. Her colts are all models of grace and beauty with heavy bone and good size and no doubt with proper work will prove speedy. I am glad to know that Helen Keys is turning out so well." Thursday, June 1st, Is the day of closing for the Stanford Stake to be trotted by three-year-olds in 1907. Colts and fillies, now yearlings, are eligible to this stake. The three-year old that is not entered in stakes has an opportunity to earn but very little money, but one that caD win the Stanford and Occi- dent stakes at the California State Fair will place a neat bank account to the credit of its owner. When Queen B. 2:13J was racing up North last year she wore a "bird cage" over her nose to keep the clods from stinging that were thrown in her face by the other horses. This "bird cage" was an immense affair made of wire screen fully eighteen inches across and nearly two feet long, but it did not prevent her beating such fast ones as Cavaliero 2:09}, Hassalo 2:11, Tidal Wave 2:13} and others for the first money in the $2000 stake at Salem. We hear a great deal about raising horses of "mar- ketable size, but it is marketable conformation that the wise breeder strives for. The 14.2 hand horse if he is put up just right and is well mannered will bring a price that is profitable to the seller. The demand is for handsome, stylish and well-mannered horses. Stallion owners are reporting that not as many mares are being bred this year as last. This is a great mistake, as the demand for good horses is on the in- crease and there is no liability of this demand falling off any during the next five years. Owners will make, a mistake if they do not breed every mare possible this season. The fastest mile of the season at the Tulare track was paced last week by the green mare Black Venus by Rajah out of the dam of Edith 2:10. This mare is in the string of J. J. SaDgster and the other day she turned the track in 2:10$ hooked to a cart. This surely gives her a look in for some of the money in the green classes. The Spokane Inter-State Fair has arranged its race program which consists of one harness race a day with four runs. The harness events are as follows: Oct. 9, 2:11 pace, $1000; Oct. 10, 2:30 trot, $500; Oct. 11, 2:25 pace, $500; Oct 11, 2:25 pace, $500; Oct. 12, Gentlemen's race, silver cup; Oct. 13, three-year-old pace, $300; Oct. 14, 2:15 trot, $1000. Every horseman that has an entry in the Loa Angeles purses should now turn his attention to the Fresno meeting of the Breeders Association. Fresno is the next meeting place on the circuit after Los Angelrs and as there will be a week between the meet- ings the horses should all be in shape to race well and fast when they hit that velvet track at the Raisin City. Look over the program in thiB issue and see tbe list of big purses offered. The best and safest way to ship valuable young colta and fillies by rail is to partition off one end of a good freight car, then spread a thick layer of good hay evenly all over the floor and turn the youngster loose. A broodmare with a foal at foot may also be shipped in the same manner. The bottom board of the par- tition should reBt upon the floor or bo near ii as to prevent any possibility of the animal's pushing a foot and leg under it when lying down. Mark Twain tells a story of a minister who had a call in the country. He had to ride nine miles over a rough road. The horse was spirited and the cart had no springs and the dominie was jolted up and down until be wished he was dead. Finally the horse ran away and the minister was dumped in the road. WheD he was picked up with his collar bone broken, he Baid: "If ever I go to hell, I want to ride on that road, as I shall be glad when I get there." Bessie Barnes, the Zombro mare entered in the Pacific Slope* Stakes by W. G. Durfee, paced a mile May 16th in 2:12} at the Los Angeles track. The first half was in 1:04, then she was slowed up and the three- quarter was in 361 seconds. She came the last quarter in 31} and finished the mile rather easily. Helen Dare by Zombro trotted a mile in 2:18 and is pointed for first money in the California $2000 stake in the Breeders Meeting, in which she is entered. Delia McCarty, the McKinney mare raised by Jerry Doran of Oakland and now owned by Mr. S. S. Ber- nard of Colorado Springs, has been matched to trot against Mr. J. S. Richardson's Strathway gelding Getaway at the Denver meeting. Tbe race is for $2000 a side and will come off at Overland Park track June 29th. It is mile heats, best three in five. Delia McCarty is by McKinney, dam Lady O. by T. O , a son of Anteeo. Getaway is by Strathway out of a Dexter Prince mare. The Sacramento Union says there will be a double track for the street car line run out to the new State Fair grounds and completed in time for the fair thiB year. At the grounds the scene is a busy one. The race track is being laid out. Five four-horse teams and as many men as can be used are employed in this work. A large amount of lumber is already on the ground. It will take a street car about thirty minutes to run to the new State Fair grounds from the corner of Seventh and K streets. The new three-quarter mile track at Davisville is being constructed on the land just east of the Southern Pacific depot at that place, which is the junction of two railway lines. The land is surrounded by a row of large olive trees, and from these will take its name of Olive Park. A grape vineyard covers the ground and enough vines will be taken from the oval to make room for a track forty feet in width. Mr. I. B. Hughes, proprietor of the Hunt Hotel in Davisville, is the moving spirit in the enterprise. Chas. A. Smith of Phoenix, Arizona, now owns the Dexter Prince stallion Senator L. 2:23}, holder of the world's four mile trotting record of 10:12. Senator L. is a son of the great thoroughbred broodmare FanDie Bayswater that also prod uced Bayswater Wilkes 2:25, sire of Kelly Briggs 2:09}. Senator L. has made a heavy season in the stud this year and is a great favorite with Arizona breeders as be is a grand in- dividual weighing 1320 pounds, stands 161 bands, and can trot through the stretch anytime in 331 seconds. Mr. Siljan, who owns the trotter Birdcatcher by Direct, and will race him in California this year, has the horse in fine shape at tbe San Jose track. Bird- catcher is the only trotter in the United States that has the distinction of being a returned Alaskan. . Monroe Salisbury took him to Nome in 1899 and used him in drawing loads to the mines. He sold him to a teamster who used him awhile and finally got him mired in a prospeot hole, when Mr. Siljan happened along and bought the horse, his mate ■ ;he wago» for $100. ©Ire gvee&ev tmfr gftwrtsntcm [May 27, 1906 Pleasanton Pointers. Ple - 5 — Now that all of the trotters and pacers that are to race at Denver and in the Grand Circuit have been shipped East things have taken on a more quiet air at the Pleasanton track and no very fast miles have been recorded during the past two weeks. This does not mean that the trainers are not keeping busy for they all seem to have their hands full, but the opening of the Cali- fornia racing season is over a month away and the teamsters will have plenty of time to put on the finishing touches. Fred Chadbourne now has the big- gest stable at the track and in all probability the best one when both quantity and quality are considered, for his string includes nearly two dozen horses and nearly half of them have beaten 2:15 in their work. A newcomer to bis stable is the bay pacer Alford D. bat worked a mile in 2:09) and a quarter in 29 seconds for Charley De Ryder, but it is very doubt- ful if he will be raced. Edwin S. 2:08 worked a mile last week in 2:11] with a half in 1:03} and thelast quarter in 29} seconds and is in fine fettle. The green pacer Doctor J. also owned by E. A. Servis worked in 2:13, half in 1:03, which time has also been equaled by the green Diablo sidewheeler John R.Conway. Mona Wilkes (2) 2:17 by Demonio 2:11), owned by James Marshall has paced an easy mile in 2:15, quarter in 31 seconds for Chadbourne whiie Mr. Marshall's four- year-old filly by the sire of Mamie R. 2:15J out of the dam of Mona Wilkes has paced in 2:16 vita a quarter in 32 seconds. Both act like they will do. Martin Carter's three-year-old filly Elma S. by Nutwood Wilkes ha9 trotted in 2:29}, quarter in 34 seconds and the grey gelding What Is It 2:16) by the same sire has worked in 2:1 8 with a quarter at a 2:08 gait. Mr. Chadbourne thinks very highly of Dr. Masoero's three-year-old McKinney filly Yolande out of Musco- vita by Guy Wilkes and as she has trotted in 2:19) with a half in 1:08 it makes her look like she will do to go to the races. There is another McKinney three-year-old here that is showing up remarkably well in his work and this one is a bay colt called Kenneth C, out of Mountain Maid, dam of Tom Carneal 2:08f, owned and trained by S. K. Trefry This coit is a nicely made, good going youngster that knows nothing but trot and the other morning he worked a mile in 2:20), half in 1:09 with such ease that all the boys say he will beat 2:15 sure this fall. Mr. Trefry is also training Tom Carneal 2:08} by Diablo and has him going along nicely but has not given him any fast workouts yet. Al McDonald has a big stable full of youngsters and green ones and there are four or five of them that will be raced this season. The fastest work of the lot was a mile in 2:15 with a quarter in 32 sec- onds by the bay pacer Little Jib by Nutwood Wilkes dam by Director and this fellow acts like a sure 2:08 horse. He wears the "catalogue" and knee spreaders besides but he has the speed just the same and Mc thinks well of him. Prince McKinney a two-year-old by McKinney out of a Dexter Prince mare has trotted a mile in 2:25 with with a quar- ter in 35 seconds and Is one of the best two-year, olds at the track. Both of the above are owned by Fleury Gomet of San Francisco. Another two-year- old trotter In the McDonald string that acts like a trot- ter Is a bay stud colt.by Gossiper owned by Chas. Neal of Oakland . He has been worked only about a month but can beat a mile in 2:35 and has shown quarters at a 2:20 gait. Charley T. by Zombro has worked in 2:20 and Ray McGregor by Rey Direct 2:10 out of a Steinway mare has been the circuit in 2:23. Among the horsemen that left last week for Denver with their horses are Ben Chaooya, Mr. Brown, and H. H. Dunlap. The only record hor6e in the bunch was the pacer Rey del Diablo 2:14} by Diablo but all of the horses have worked fast enough to get part of the money. Mr. Dunlap's gelding Harold D. by Dexter Prince paced a mile in 2:11 with a quarter in 30) sec- onds and If be races good should make them step in lilm. Will De liyder has seven or eight head of green In training but will hardly havo anything to take to tbe I Dr. lUcks has been training eight green ones and youngsters but has turned tbem ail out ind will not take them up again antil fall J. I). Springer's horses are all working in good shape but ho has not been riding very fast with any of them. Sonoma Girl has all her speed with her this spriog and Mr. Springer has great hopes of getting her to the races. er Bunch's fastest work has been a mllein 2:12 behind the five-year-old pacing mare Derbertha by Charles Derby out of tho famous old mare Bertha, dam of Do\ Derby 2 0U. Diablo 2:09}, etc., and he make a great mare out of her as sbo has 1:02 and quarters at a two-minute gait. The roan mare Mildred O. by Secretary, dam Vesper Bells by Dawn, is training nicely this year and has worked in 2:25 with a quarter in 0:33. She is owned by Mr. J. W. Offutt of Petaluma and will be raced late in tbe season. A very promising youngster in Mr. Bunch's care is A. L. Reed's black three-year, old colt Joe Reed by McKinney out of Catinka 2:20} by Abbottsford. He has not been asked to go a mile yet but is a very fast, level-headed colt and acts like a sure race horse. B. S. McMahan. Entries for Denver Harness Races.

Payments Due in Stanford Stakes. A fourth payment of $10 each will be due June 1st on all foals entered in the Stanford Stake to be trot- ted this year. A third payment of $10 will be due on the same date on all foals of 1903, entered in the Stanford Stake to be trotted In 1906. The failure to make payments in the6e stakes as they become due forfeits all previous payments and declare entries out. Make your payments in time to Secretary Albert Ltndley, Sacramento. Is Worth $io,ooo. Breeder and Sportsman— Please tell me what, in your opinion, is the value of an almost perfectly formed, coal black stallion, 15 1) hands, weight 1050, five years old, with good breeding, somewhat lazy, and who never cares what goes on about him, who can pace a half with comfort in one minute and one second over a very rough and dusty track. He can go the route, but I have been afraid to have him do so on account of the rough going. This same horse won a two-year-old trot in 3:10 and if necessary could have trotted very, much faster. He has never been in a race Bince, has never had a blanket on him in his life, nor a particle of dope, nor a bandage, neither has he been sick a day, and is as sound as the day he was foaled, and never getB tired. All this may read like a dream, but it is not. Yours very sincerely, F. H. Shanks. [The editor of the Breeder and Sportsman read the above letter to Mr. C. A. Durfee, formerly owner of McKinney 2:11}, that he Bold for $25,000, and his opinion was that a five-year-old stallion that comes up to the description given in the letter is worth $10,000.] ^____ Los Angeles Driving Club. Secretary Redpath of the above named club has arranged for matinee racing on Tuesday next, Memo- rial Day. There will be Beven races. The horses are in good condition, and Secretary Redpath has prom- ised to have a swell program. Entries closed Thurs- day. Nine applicants have been elected to membership in the club since the last matinee, as follows: Howard P. Garland, W. C. Brain, W. J. Fisher, W. B. AmeB, W. L. Lewis, George Brunswick, W. R. Davis, Brock & Feagans, Marshall Cooper and W. A. Duncombe. Mr. Cooper recently purchased the high-class horse Athaio, which will be one of the contestants in the 2:20 pace. W. C. Brain will start his youngster, Van Neer, in the 2:40 class, this being his initial performance. He is a high-class roadster by Neernut. Sanders Has Some Fast Ones. Millard Sanders has the laugh on a lot of trainers at Memphis track now. All of last winter when the Hot Air Circuit was racing horses at a merry clip, there was considerable discussion as to whether Tom Axworthy would ever learn to get away good. Mil- lard always contended that he got away last fall fast enough in every race he started In to win them all, and that when the time came to step him faster away from the wire that he would be able to do so. There was a great deal of argument on the subject, and they told Millard that so far he had never gotten away fast, but the reason for it is now apparent to all of them. Tom was lame last fall and Mb legs were not in the best of condition, but right now they are clean as a new milled dollar. Just to prove to the boys that he was right, he showed the way from the wire to the quarter pole with Tom the other day in 30^ seconds. This quarter has Btopped all argu- ments, and even the most contrary man in the bunch willingly declared that Millard was right. The best mile Tom has been is 2:17. But Tom is not the only Axworthy in the stable; in fact, all of them are by that sire There are two extra good fillies in the stable that will later develop into corkers, barring the accident route. They are Nelda, a full sister to Tom, and Hilda out of Bellwood A. The former stepped a half in 1.14, while the latter stepped a half in 1:12). Both of them are two years old. Millard does not believe in even harnessing a youngster a day after he has worked satisfactorily, and he regards these letups as being of great benefit to the colt. — Trotter and Pacer Prizes for Live Stock. The official prize list of the live stock exhibit to be given at the Lewis gtptrtrtsman Hawley's Opinion of Two Champions. It will be gratifying to all admirers of a truly great horse that Sweet Marie haB left the Pacific Slope in perfect health and condition and ready to begin her active training for her coming campaign. So much interest always attaches itself to a trotter of super- lative greatness that everything connected with this the greatest race mare the world has ever seen, is important. Sweet Marie was last season so immeas- urably superior to every trotter she raced against that her only defeat did not in the least tarnish her brilliant record, for every man familiar with her real capacity, her marvelous speed, and her still more wonderful class, knew that under no circumstances wouln it be possible for her to meet defeat in such a field had she been done full justice by all connected with her. Sweet Marie's defeat at Hartford was dis- counted, and no one felt much surprise that she should have been given the one black mark in her otherwise clean score. No trotter has ever appeared in America that Bhowed so convincingly such superi- ority over any and all comers as did this superb daughter of MclCinney. While she is not possessed of the marvelous flight of speed which has made Lou Dillon famouB, she has qualities which are lacking in the queen, and is on the whole much better qualified to race from one end of the Grand Circuit to the other, and to be pitted against the best that can be found with which to battle for supremacy. Sweet Marie was capable last October of trotting three heats in 2:04 or better, and certainly no other har- her up, strengthened her constitution and developed her physically was only to have been expected, for many times before has he done this very thing. I do not believe that Budd Doble has ever had in his charge for any length of time a trotter of championship mold with which he did not accomplish as much or more than had been done by his predecessor, and if Lou Dillon is fortunate enough to remain in his charge during the coming season and be under his direct supervision and control, I think the world will see a series of performances never even approached by any other trotters, for if Lou Dillon could trot in 2:01 when woefully out of condition, it is but reasonable to expect her, when trained to the hour, fitted up by a past master of his art, and driven with consummate skill, to trot considerably faster than two minutes. I for one should be immensely pleaBed if this veteran driver should be the firBt professional to drive a trotter in 2:00 or better under normal conditions, and ths circumstances that would permit of such a per- formance on her part would also make it possible for owner to drive her in 2:00 to wagon, and of all the sportsmen who have ever lived, none were more justly entitled to such an honor than C. K. G Billings. — Kentucky Stock Farm. Reached New York All Right. Mr. James Butler's string of campaigners that win- tared in California arrived at the Empire track Satur- day, looking in first-class shape after the long journey across the Rockies, says Trotter and Pacer of May 18. Rosa Sprague, dam op McKinney neas horse has ever been capable of 3uch a perform- ance unless it was the present record holder, Lou Dillon. Cresceus at his very best might have accomplished this feat, yet it is not at all an assured fact that he could do so, while Major Dalmar has never shown that he had the ability to trot three such miles. It is because she is so marvelously game, so thoroughly reliable, such a superb individual and withal so capa- ble of defeating any and all comers that this mare is the popular idol of the racing world today. When absolutely fit there is not a trotter in active training who will take part in public races this season who has a chance to lower her colors, for the very good reaBOn that she can out-trot, out-stay, out-game any who will be pitted against her. No other trotter ever seen has been possessed of anything like her class, except Cresceus, and no higher compliment can be pi"3 *"9* than to say that she was the equal in any respect to this most magnificent of all trotting stallions. While this superb race mare has been hibernating in her native clime, the fastest of all trotters, Lou Dillon, has also been benefitted by return to the state which produced her, and according to the latest reports from her training ground is in better condition than ever and ready to accomplish the impossible if necessary. It is not the least surprising that Lou Dillon is in perfect condition and vastly improved by her winter in California, for she has been in the hands of the greatest master of the art of conditioning and training that the world has ever seen, and that he has built They were in charge of |Mr. Charles De Rvder, the driver and assistant trainer to the veteran Monroe Salisbury. After considering the matter, it was thought better to ship the horses straight to the Empire rather than to stop off for the meetings at Denver and other places en route, as was contemplated for a time. The stable has been beseiged by visitors since reaching the track and the appearance of the horses excites general commendation. Of course, the greatest eagerness was evinced to seethe horses which joined the stable during the winter in California. The sensational five-year-old mare Helen Keyes attracted especial attention. She is by Sidney Dillon, out of a mare by Piedmont, and looks as good as all that has been said about her. The green pacer Bolivar was also carefully looked over by visiting horsemen. The Phantom, that will carry the stable's colorB in the great three-year-old futurities this year, came in for a large share of the attention, as did the green trotter Danube, one of the candidates for the M. and M. at at Detroit. Last year's sensation in the West, Izetta 2:134, another new one, was also favorably commented upon, while the old favorites of the string, Consuela S., California Cresceus, etc., were found to be looking fine. With the California contingent and those that were wintered at the Empire, Mr. Butler will have quite a formidable stable "down the line." Fairs May Yet Be Held at StocktDn. Some time ago the historical fair grounds at Stock- ton were sold to satisfy a debt contracted by the Directors of the San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Association, and now a suit has been filed in the name of the People of the State of California against August Muenter, Sr., in which it is claimed that the sale was not according to law and therefore void. David Young, the well-known horse breeder and farmer of San Joaquin county, with several other life members of the Agricultural Aisociation, are the real plaintiffs, although the case has been brought in the name of the State. The following are some of the points upon which the plaintiffs rely: _ It does not appear from the minutes of the associa- tion that the Directors were ever instructed to make the note, consequently the plaintiffs assume that the Directors acted for themselveB only The by-laws of the association provide that no debts exceeding $1000 in the aggregate shall be in- curred after the finances of any year have been balanced. The note given was for a much greater sum. No execution can run against State property unless specific provision has been made for it, which was not the case in this instance. The State law provides that agricultural societies may be sued for debt, but it does not provide any means of enforcing judgment. The State law allows the incurrence of mortgage in- debtedness not to exceed S5000 provided the money is for the purchase of real property, but adds that the Directors are personally liable for any indebtedness incurred in excess of that amount. In* this case the $5000 limit was exceeded, and the debt was not in- curred for the purchase of real property. The minutes of the association fail to show the pay- ment of any claims whatever, and Lf any record exists it must be in the bookkeeper's accounts, which are not of legal effect. The association commenced to violate its by-laws and the State laws at the close of its business in 1884. Liabilities continued to increase from that time up to 1897, when they amounted to $16,000. A protest was filed by the State Attorney General against the sale of the property when that sale was made. The State law provides a way to sell State property, but under it the money could not have been applied to wipe out the note. It does not provide for such proceedings as were taken, however. Attorney Muenter has been bard at work on the complaint for ten days, and it is still unfinished. When it is drafted Attoroeys Jacobs & Plack will take a hand at it and the document will next be submit!? d to the Attorney-General. If the plaintiffs win their case and tbe State recovers the land, the grounds will again be used for the holding of races during fair time. Boston Work Horse Parade. A second-hand Moyer cart, a second-hand Mc- Murrray cart, and a second-hand Frazier sulky are for sale at a low figure by the Kenney Mfg. Co. at 531 Valencia street. The Third Annual Parade of tbe Boston Work Horse Parade Association will occur May 30tb, begin- ning at eight o'clock in the morning. This will be, by much, the largest of the three parades so far held. There are five hundred and fifty entries, which means a procession at least four miles long, and a display of eight, or nine hundred horses. Particularly interesting will be the old horse class. In this class there are two divisions: ODe open to horses that have been in active service for fifteen years or more and one division open to horses that have been in active service for ten years or more and less that fifteen. There are nearly fifty entriesin these two divisions. The prizes for the old horse class con. sist of gold and silver medals and sums of money and also "highly commended" ribbons. This class will be an object lesson in showing how far good care and kind treatment will go to prolong the life of a horse and to keep him in good condition. Boston has always been noted for the beauty of its draught horses, the type preferred in that city being a well-rounded horse with rather short legs and arch- ing neck; and this parade will undoubtedly be the finest exhibition of draught horses ever seen in this country, if not in the world. There will be all kinds of teams, ranging from a single horse up to the six-in-hand, including three- abreast and some spike teams. In the truckman class there will be seven fours, two of coal black horses, two of gray and the other three of mixed colors. In another class, the grocers, there will be a six-horse team of gray horses which probably has no superior in this country. The judging begins at eight A. M., and will take about two hours. Then the parade starts and the horses pass before the reviewing stand, the prizes and ribbons to be awarded as they pass by. Great pains has been taken to obtain fair and cbm- petent judges, and representative horsemen will be in attendance for this purpose from all parts of Mas. 8achusett8, and from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

"CISCO Cal., May 23, 1905. Breeder and Sportsman-:— On a visit to Santa Rosa Stock Farm, the former home of Sidney Dillon, Lou Dillon, Dolly Dillon and other noted trotting cracks, and now the home of Lou Milton, By By, Biscari, Carlotta W likes, etc., the value of producing dams in a trotting pedigree was never more convinc- ingly demonstrated than in the breeding of these mares and their sons and daughters. To recount the brilliant turf career of their produce would be like telling a familiar story. All along the lines the standard of excellence in individuality, performances and blood elements of the above are being advanced' It requires a thorough knowledge of pedigrees, com- bination of blood lines, that have proved most success- ful In the past in producing the class of young animals that can now be found in the beautiful city of Santa Rosa. It is a natural gift of horsemanship to select stallions and broodmares for speed producers. These points should never be lost sight of by the farmer and young men or new breeder. In making the selection of his mares, the breeder must be guided to a certain extent by the character and breeding of the stallion with which they are to be mated. Some lines of blood are not popular as producing a uniform and high rate of speed in the male line, yet are of unlimited value as producers on the female side; particularly those branches which come through Mambrino Chief (his sons), American Star (his sons), The Moor (his sons), Mambrino Patchen (his sons), imp. Diomed, Glencoe, Trustee, Australian, Lexington, Venture, Margrave, Planet, Capt. Webster, etc. As to the stallion's temperament, he should be good headed, good gaited and stand a drive and hard urging. The broodmare should be just the opposite, with plenty of snap and nerve force, as the latter is the most valuable quality of all for a high rate of speed. Nerve force is to an animal what electricity is in a motor engine. Mr. Turner has at present what I should consider some great young prospective sires of speed, and frorr- what I saw of the youngsters' dispositions, gait and manners I will be greatly mistaken if they do not prove such. Someone will in the near future own a phenomenal all-around youngster that is now at the Santa Rosa Farm. Not the least among the questions that should not be overlooked is that, of opportunity of a young stallion, his produce, also the young broodmare's. Opportunity cuts a large figure in the making of a reputation of a person, stallion, farm or a broodmare, and in the founding of a farm and trotting family. Having selected the stallion the question is how shall he be given the best opportunity? First, there are persons who believe he should have a creditable turf record. The first move, I am of the opinion, is the most Important to him, is the best mares that one would judge would prove a happy nick — mares with individual merit ana the possession of producing blood. Not only is it necessary in full justice to this stallion that he has an enterprising owner who sees that his progeny are in good hands, and properly fed, broken and trained, and raced in public. The winner gains the prestige. The campaigners who have stamina as well as Bpeed reflect the greatest glory upou their tires arid dams. The horse whose owner trusts to the public to bring out his produce cannot boast of them having fair opportunities. I can recall stallions now and then who are owned by poor men and whose produce are being worked with the yiew of racing them. Such a stallion I saw at Santa Rosa — Lynwood W. (two-year-old record I saw him trot a trial in the year 1894 over the Pougbkeepsto, N. Y., track In 2:10 flat, driven by the late John A Goldsmith, who thought he would place a record on him that fall of 2:07 or 2:08. He is now proving what any intelligent person could but naturally expect of him— judging by his breeding, conformation and gait — a uniform producer of a high rate of speed, also good Individuals, color, gait and soundness. I can now call to mind four of his pro- duce without records that can trot today in 2:15 or bettor, and trot quarters In 31 seconds or better. This great prospective sire has had no gifted pen to sing bis praises, as bis owner Is a very unaBBumlng kind of a gentleman who well knows that he has a great sire of all-around u-,;lul animals. It is surely quite a Bhowing for a stallion 's first get— four young- sters that can trot in 2:15, and the only ones in training. I saw Mart Rollins' handsome, good-gattcd brown gelding work in 2:17 and 2:15, and the last parts of his work were done like an old campaigner. John Qulnn has a handsome brown four-year-old filly, ownud by E., B. Smith of Ukiah, that will can I in it Saturday, sure; and a large, 10 ' lding that looks to me like someone could ■ his colloo this winter If the associations pay off their purses.

(2)2:20 by Guy Wilkes 2:15J, dam by Sultan Jr , second dam Flora Piersons 2:36 by Red Iron 144, third dam by Williamson's Belmont. In a conversation with a group of gentlemen breeders and lovers of the trotting horse over the well known stallion Niagara, formerly known as Washtucua Chief, they' requested me to give as much of his history and correct breeding as I could possibly give through your journal, as such might settle this dispute. Some time in the years of 1878 to 1SS0 the same muddle then existed over his breeding as in these days over the true grandam of Lou Dillon. I unfortunately was mixed up in that muddle as in the one that is now going the rounds over Lou Milton. . The late Otto Holstein, who was in those days noted for his knowledge and ability as a tabulator of pedi- grees and turf writer, was the main searcher for that which was lost. He claimed then that there were two Washtucua Chiefs— one by Hill's Black Hawk and the other by Mambrino Chief 11. Both horses came West, one bred in Kentucky by Mambrino Chief 11, and the other by Hill's Black Hawk bred in some part of New York. Which one of these Washtucua Chiefs came to California Mr. Holstein was unable to state. In the spring of 1S78 or 1879 John Splan took from this State a very handsome speedy mare well known then as the Stark mare by Niagara and sold her to some priest in or about Glen Falls, N. Y. His name I am now unable to recall, but this priest, Mr. Holstein and myself took quite an active part in the search. Mr. Holstein then discovered that the Washtucua Chief by Mambrino Chief 11, that was bred in Kentucky, near Cincinnati, Ohio, was the horse that camo to California, but it was then im- possible to locate the person who bought and imported the horse to this State. Mr. Holstein died, and the priest and his mare, well-known as the Stark mare, disappeared from my knowledge. I had about that time purchased from that well- known early trotting horse breeder, Frank Malone of San Francisco, for the late Daniel Cook, the bay mare Fanny Malone grandam of Charles Derby 2:20, Maud C. 2:14, Klatawah (three-year-old, pacing, 2:05J) and others; later the brown mare Katie G. by Electioneer, dam Fanny Malone by Niagara, for myself, so at that time I took quite a interest in trying to get at the true faets as to the sire of Niagara. In June 18S4, I was employed by the Fresno Fair Ground Association to build and lay out their grounds, stables and track. At one of the meetings of the Directors, the elder Hughes, builder of the Hughes Hotel, and quite a prominent business man of Fresno, was sitting beside me at that meeting, and asked me if I ever knew a horse called Niagara, once called Washtucua Chief. I said I was interested in some of his produce. He then remarked that he imported that horse to this country, and purchased the horse in Cincinnati. And they informed him then that hecamefrom Kentucky. Mr. Holstein in the meantime had died, and the priest, I couid not learn of him whetherdead ornot. Onsuch evidence I naturally presumed that he was by Mam- brino Chief and so had the bookkeeper of the Cook Farm, now well-known as the Oakwood Farm, enter Niagara as said to be by Mambrino Chief, and I will- die with the belief that the mare Katie G. and her sons and daughters carry that blood. I am of the opinion that there were not many of the produce of Niagara but what I saw of them that had size, good color, browns and bays, also good gaited, and always found on a trot, and four of them with the ability to beat 2:20— the Stark mare, Cobb, Fanny Malone and the Charles Crocker black mare, that I doubt if San Francisco ever had her equal as a great all-around road mare, and a noted fact that she was for two seasons barred out of all green races, throughout this State, in her day. As for my knowledge of his pro- duce, I rate him higher to know that Mr. Frank Malone, patronized him in his days. As wemust judge men by their works, and Mr. Malone accomplished wonders for the number that he bred, Arab 2:15, Katie G., Fanny Malone and others of fame. Samuel Gamble. THE COMING DERBY. On Past Performances, Cicero Looks a Certain Winner. Death of Veronica. Mr. C. L. Donohoe of Santa Barbara, writes us that he has had the misfortune of losing by death the broodmare Veronica by Alcona 730, dam the great broodmare Fontana, dam of Silas Skinner 2:17, Flora Belle 2:25, etc. Veronica's son The Scout by Almonada that is now being trained by Walter Maben stepped a mile last year after six months training, in 2:14J. Mr. Maben says he can drive The Scout in 2:10 this year barring accidents. Mr. Donohoe owns a two-year old filly out of Veronica that Is by Iran Alto and can show minute clip on the road hitched to a road cart, although he has never been trained. Los Angeles, May 23, 1905. I put in an hour last night, to see if I could figure the unbeaten French colt Jardy as a winner over the likewise unbeaten Engltehcolt Cicero; and after care- ful perusal of all the two-year-old performances of the ten most prominent eligibles to the great race on Epsom Downs on the 31st, I must place the three firBt as follows: Cicero by Cyllene out of Gas 1 Jardy by Flying Fox-Airs and Graces 2 Vedas by Florizel II (bro. to Persimmon) . . .3 Cicero takes the lead of all last year's two-year-olds for four reasons. First, he won six straight races without a single defeat; second, the races he won were the oldest established and btst-known events; third, he won nearly double what any other contestant won, in money values; and lastly, he beat more horses than any other colt of his age. The Middle Part Plate did not come on till Cicero's trainer deemed him just a trifle stale and had decided to give him a rest. Jardy therefore won the Middle Park Plate and, by disposing very easily of his horses at the finish, got a much greater reputation for having done so than would have been the case had the race been run earlier in the Eeason. Most of the English colts had started from five to seven times prior to the Middle Park day, so it is quite likely that Jardy picked up a stale and jaded lot. He had previously won all three of his starts in France, so this was his fourth engage- ment. A review of the history of the Middle Park Plate shows but three of its winners that won the Derby in the year that followed. Jardy has beaten everything that he met, to be sure, but it must be remembered that he has not yet met Cicero. Vedas is a good-looking son of Florizel (brother to Diamond Jubilee and Persimmon) and his sire has already gotten a Derby winner in Volodyovski and a St. Leger winner in Doricles with Volodyovski second to him in that race. Vedas started in ten races, win- ning six, second in one and third in one, which is a3 good a showing as most colts make. This year he has won the Two Thousand Guineas which is run on the "Rowley Mile," a course 1771 yards long or eleven yards over an exact mile, if you prefer to put it in that way. The second horse was Signorino by Best Man out of Sig. Ginistrelli's flying mare that won the first Manchester November Handicap in 1890; and the third horse was Llangibby, who won three races out of seven last year. Since then Cicero, who was not nominated in the Two Thousand, has won the Newmarket Stakes at one and a quarter miles, with Llangibby second and Signorino third, showing the colt with the Welsh name to be the better over a distance of ground than the Italian chevalier's colt. Vedas was not nominated in the Newmarket Stakes, nor was Jardy, but the latter was nominated in the Two Thousand and paid forfeit as none of Mons. Blanc's horses were ready for so early a race. In the stable with Jardy is another unbeaten French colt called Adam, a full brother to Ajax who won the Grand Prix of last year and placed Flying Fox at the head of the winning sires' list at eight years, for the first time in the world's history. No French colt has won the Epsom Derby alncel865 when the lanky Gladiateur bowled over a good-sized field, with Christmas Carol second and Eltham third. He had previously won the Two Thousand but not in any impressive manner but in the Derby he was pocketed four times and yet managed to get out and win by four leagths. "When Gladiateur gallops, the rest stand still, " said a London paper of the day follow- ing the latter race. Two weeks later he was a victor on his own soil, in the Grand Prix, and in September he carried off the Doncaster St. Leger for which he was an odds on favorite. The classic races of England have been won by French horses as follows: The Derby by Gladiateur only; the Two Thousand by Gladiator and Chamant; the Oaks by Fille de l'Air, Euguenaude, Reine and LimaBol; and the St. Leger by Gladiateur and Rayon d'Or, the latter being imported into America by the late W. L. Scott. The Oaks winner Limasol, was a full sister to imported Maori, the dam of Berry Bel- mont's great horse Etbelbert who should never have lost a race, in my opinion, at any distance above on* mile, Fille de l'Air was the dam of Reine, who also won the One Thousand Guineas. Hidalgo. Found to Have no Equal. Mr. E. T. Baiter of Eddyville, Neb. writes: "Enclosed find one dollar for whloh send one bottle of Quinn's Ointment. I have removed two bog spavins with this ointment and also has no equal for removing wire cuts. Please send at once as I need it badly." This Is the general expression of leading horsemen all over the country. For curbs, splints, spavins, wlndpufls and all bunches try Quinn's Ointment. Price one dollar per bottle. Address W. B.

After a long period of depression, during which no horses were bred, the scarcity of good horses of almost all classes is at last being admitted, and prices are rapidly advancing, writes Col. Henry Exall, Dallas, Texas. After the panic of 1873 trotting horses could hardly be given away. In 1S76 the yearling9 of Alexander's great farm in Kentucky brought only an average of $112.50. Twelve years later, when people realized that no breeding had been done, and that good horses were extremely scarce, and that the demand was great, the same character of yearlings from the same studs and mares sold for an average of $3950. The J. C. Linneman stock, comprising every- thing he owned, was sold in Lexington in February, 1892, for an average of $4475. The culmination of these highest prices in 1891 to 1892 came when Axtell, the three-year-old stallion, was sold for $105,000, and Arion, the peerless son of the great Electioneer, wa9 sold as a two-year-old for $125,000. Then came the panic of 1893. Horses were forced on the market, breeding ceased, prices ran low, the market was so glutted. Stock farms in every direction closed out and forced their horses upon an unwilling market until in many instances they did not bring their freight and expenses of sale. So demoralized was the business from 1895 to 1900, that breeding was almost totally abandoned all over the Union. It was im- possible to make anyone believe that horses were scarce, because everything was being forced on the market. All the goods were in the show windows. There was nothing on the breeding ranches behind, preparing to meet the demand that must surely come. In no period ef this mighty nation has its growth been so great in commercial expansion, in wealth and in population as within the past fifteen years. Almost the only thing that has been neglected and allowed to dwarf has been the horse industry. We have more race tracks, more speedways by hundreds, a thousand rich men now to where we had one then and nobody preparing to meet the demand that must come by breeding the horse. We have two millions fewer horses now than we had in 1890, with one million more in use. The shortage is on the ranches and breeding farms. The expected demand has come. The sale of the entire Forbes stock at auction on the 23d of last May marked the turning point, At this sale seventy-six head, ranging from weanlings to eighteen-year-olds, brought $116,450. Among the number was the fast stallion, Bingen, a grandson of the mighty Electioneer, who brought the princely sum'of $32,000. The average price for weanlings, yearlings and all, including the aged broodmares, was $1532 per head. It was then said by many that we would not see another such sales in many years to come, yet in New York during the next month the great racing stallion, Hamburg, was sold at public outcry for $71,000. At same time Im- ported Meddler sold for $51,000, and a thirteen-year old broodmare brought $23,000. Recently the seven- teen-year-old trotting stallion, McKinney, sold for$50,» 000 and was rated as a bargain at even that figure. Ten thousand dollars was recently paid for a two-year-old trotting colt, and $20,000 was refused for a three- year-old filly. Ten thousand was paid last year for a Texas-raised four-year-old, and $15,000 was refused for a six-year-old. These prices are, of course, for fast horses, but there is an almost unlimited market for good drivers at prices ranging from $350 to $1000, and for good pairs at prices ranging from $500 to $5000 if you can only produce the type of horses the buyers want. That this condition of affairs is attract- ing wide attention, that people everywhere are awak- ening to the present status of the horse-breeding industry is indicated by an editorial appearing in the New York Herald of October 24d, under the caption of "On Track and Turf." Among other things the writer says: "It is, indeed, the golden era of the horse. * * * The prices easily commanded by the best of them remain as high or even higher than ever. The most recent sales of racing and harness horses readily prove this to be a fact. A most agreeable and significant incident., too, of the purchase was the class of men who were the buyers. It showed that racing interests are daily passing into stronger and better hands; that weathy amateurs are coming to the front and assuming personal part in active racing life as was the case in our grandfather's days, when it was called, and was indeed, the sport of gentlemen and kings. This last mentioned view of the situation is emphasized by the increasing number of so-called matinee races, where the fastest trotters of the world are driven by amateur owners, and the hunt-club meet- ings where gentlemen drivers take part in flat and steeple-chase races to the delight of assembled multi- tudes. It is no wonder that lovers of the horse are enthusiastically shaking hands with each other over the result of the summer's sport, recalling the pleas- ure they have had at the races and looking forward to even greater things when the season of 1905 is ushered in." With a reawakening interest in the horse and his noble qualities, with wealthy men all over the Union searching the markets for horses to drive or to race for pleasure or profit, with an admitted scarcity to meet this increased demand, it cannot be doubted the prices paid for good horses during the next five or six years will be as high as ever before, if, indeed, not very much higher Obviously, now is the time of all times for all owners of good mares to begin to breed them and to raise good horses. This is a great op- portunity for Texas breeders. There is no country in the world in which to raise good horses than Texas. We have the climate, and can raise feed cheaply. To the prospective horse breeder I would say that there are maoy pitfalls to be avoided. Great care should be taken in the selection of broodmares. Breed the best mares you have. There is no mare that is too good to breed, and it is only by breeding the best mares to the best stallions that you can expect to get the best colts — the kind that brings top prices in the markets and are a pleasure and a profit to both breeder and buyer. Be very critical in your selection of a stallion. It is very poor economy to save a few dollars by breeding to an inferior or unknown stallion. When the colt is grown, the difference between the well bred colt by a great stallion and the poorly bred colt from thecheap and unknown stallion is simply thedifference in the stallion fees, and as a rule the well bred colt will bring in the open market two or three times as much as the colt equally well raised but from an in- ferior and unknown stallion. Therefore, in the choice of both mares and stallions, force the survival of the fittest by the most rigid selection. In this way in- finitely better to have a few well bred mares than a larger number of second class mares. I would rather pay a thousand dollars for a young broodmare, if in breeding and conformation she warranted the price, than to pay a hundred dollars each for ten not nearly as good. The progeny of the one high class mare by a high class stallion would be worth from $500 to $1000 as a yearling. The progeny of the ten mares as yearlings would not bring me any more money, if indeed, as much, and I would have to sell ten colts to get my money. With the $1000 invested in the high bred mare there would be but one stallion fee to pay, one colt to raise and but one customer to find for the high bred foal, and when it became generally known that you were raising only the best rich customers," who are ever ready and willing to pay the price, would seek you out, and you would have a good market at home. On the other hand, with the ten mares, your feed bill would be ten times as large, your stallion fees in proportion, and your stock, instead of being dis- tinctive and greater than the common herd, would have to be sold in competition with everything that pulls, and as there is an ever-increasing demand for the best of everything — why try to produce some- thing else? The fastest race horse or the sleekiest, toppiest driver eats no more than the coarse and shaggy dray horse. But even after you have bred in the right blood lines the mares and colts must be properly fed and cared for. Do not try to Bee how little the mares and colts can live upon, but see how much you can get them to consume and digest. Let them have air and exercise in plenty, and then tempt them with a change of ration so that they will eat abundantly and grow rapidly. You cannot afford to be stingy with the little colts. Teach them to eat grain at as early an age as possible. On the Lomo Alto farm we make a pen in the pasture — say twenty-five feet square — with wide low troughs in the center, and we so adjust the height of the outside railing that the colts can go in and eat at will, but the mother cannot follow. We keep ground oats and bran in the troughs at all times, so that the little fellows will noo be disappointed when they want a lunch. The grain ration in connection with the mother's milk is a most excellent combina- tion. In fact, it is difficult to get good results with young colts unless they are fed separately from their mothers. I will give an illustration that I think will be readily recognized by any man that has raised any kind of stock. When a colt is foaled it will probably weigh from a hundred to a hundred and twenty pounds. Its mother will then give as much milk as she will ever give. The colt grows very rapidly. He is fat, sleek, glossy and beautiful, gaining probably two and a half pounds per day. When it is two months old and weighs, say, 250 pounds, it has twice the live weight to sustain that it had at birth, and having only the same amount, of milk to sustain it that it had when it weighed only 120 pounds, it almost ceases to grow; it loses its sleek and glossy appear- ance, and if you fail to supplement the milk with a grain ration before this period you cause a stoppage of the growth that is almost impossible to overcome later. I have not always been in a position to do as I wished in this respect, but the Lomo Alto yearlings, foals in 1903, fed in this way are 15 hands high, and the foals of 1904, weanlings, are from 13 to 14 hands high. I am certain that I never made an investment in feeding stock that paid me so well for the amount invested as the grain that I fed to my weanlings which some of my neighbors thought I was throwing away. And finally, when the high-bred foal reaches the age it must begin its schooling and must learn to do and do well and unquestioningly what he is wanted to do, teach him with kindneBS. Nothing in the world shows the effect of good or bad handling so much as a horse, and it is when the horse is young and being broken and educated that it takes its first impressions and first impressions with horses, just as with children, are always strongest. The colt should never have any idea but that man is his best friend. The best merchant secures and always keeps in stock the goods his customers want. You may not care for a diamond stud, but you would be foolish not to dig diamonds if you could profitably do so and sell them to the people who do want them. The wealthy people of every town in the Union want the handsomest, the soundest and the fastest horses that can be produced, and in competition with each other will pay almost any price for the best. We have clearly demonstrated on the speedway of New York and on the turf from Empire City to Lexington that Texas can produce as good horses as live. The markets are open, the buyers are eager. Will the breeders of Texas take advantage of the unusual opportunity of a known and admitted scarcity and an almost unlimited de- mand, and begin now to breed the right kind in the right way and thus reap the rich harvest that un- questionably awaits them? — Exchange. New Horse Show Association. Under the title "Southern California Horse Show Association of Pasadena," promoters of the recent show at that place formally incorporated last Satur- day with a directorate representative of most of the cities of Southern California. It is the aim of the association to take in all cities of the southern part of the State. In other words, the plan is to have the one and only horse show in Pasadena, and to that end the promoters have interested nearly all prominent horsemen of Southern California in the association. The organization will seek to obtain a membership of at least 500. In the first directorate are: R. L. Bettner, River- side; Col. W. J. Hogan, Louisville, Ky.; D. M. Lin- nard, John B.

Reports from Sonoma, Mendocino and Humboldt counties are flattering. ilv-Bshing is uot yet at its best, the streams being generally high, the inducements for a try with black gnat, March brown and royal coachman are not to be ignored. Spoon fishing has been good on mo-t nearby waters. With the early promise of settled weather, a lowering and clearing of the creeks, the sport promises to be excellent. Str ped bass anglers are getting a few fish in various waters, the pastime is not lively by any means. The fish are reported to be in the far up sloughs and creeks where they are believed to bespawning. Sacra- mento anglers have taken plenty of striped bass from tbe river in the vicinity of Clarksburg. Salmon are now running in Monterey bay and great sport has been the luck of recent fishing parties. Yellowtail are also fairly plentiful. Skipjacks are being taken by the trolling boats off Monterey and Santa Cruz. AT THE TRAPS. An enthusiastic assemblage of clay bird smashers gathered at Ingleside May 21, 1905, at the third regular shoot of the Union Gun Club. The membership of this club is a representative one, containing many ardent devotees of trap shooting, and making for the betterment all along the line of this most fascinating sport. There were in attendance 48 contestants, shoot- ing In various classes. The classification of shooters, which is becoming general, owing to its equity and fairnesB, Is doing much to strengthen and popularize blue rock shooting. Like every law made for the good of the1 greatest number, some few individuals necessarily suffer. When one considers, however, that the general shooting fraternity is the gainer, this classification would seem to be the solution for the permanence and life of this sport.

She was Beveral days overdue to whelp and died through complica- tions arising therefrom. Peggy has been an excellent brood bitch and left a numerous progeny that has proven remarkably clever working dogs. Sportsmen in the vicinity of Haywards, in Mendocino county, in Humboldt county, in Nevada, and even in far away Guatamala have, and are using, Peggy's sons and daughters and claim that they are a strain that can not be beaten on the trail. THE DOG WAS LOADED. A story from Lusted, near Portland, Or., relates how an attempt to destroy a dog came near ending disastrously for Farmer H. E. Hamilton and his wife recently. The members of the Hamilton family were absent from home one day and when they returned in the evening found that the dog, which they had left in charge of the place, had broken into the chicken yard of the farm and killed a number of chickens, besides smashing half a case of eggs that had been saved up for market. Farmer Hamilton got wrathy and decided that the dog must die. The following morning he proceeded to carry out the execution. He had been using giant powder to blast stumps, and taking a stick of the explosive, affixed a detonator and fuse and tied the combination to the dog'i collar. He attached a stout rope to the animal's neck and leading him a few yards from the house secured the condemned dog to a tree. Then he lighted the fuse and ran. A moment's struggle and the dog had slipped the rope over his head and was at Hamilton's heels, frisk- ing gaily at his freedom, and unaware of impending danger. The farmer tried to catch him to pull out the fuse, but the dog tantalizingly kept just out of reach. The farmer dashed for the house, the animal cloBe behind. Hamilton stopped to throw stick of stove wood at him, but without effect. His wife came out and comprehending the situation saved the day. "Go get the cows, Bob," she called to the dog, and old Bob, faithful to duty, turned about and started for the pasture. He had trotted scarcely fifty feet when the explosion came. The farmer and his wife were almost lifted from their feet and bits of dog and hair filled the air. There was not enough of Bob left to make a funeral diversion for the children. San Francisco Fly-Casting Club. Last Saturday and Sunday, those of the club mem- bers who were behind in their scores were at the lake- side making up for lost time. The weather being ideal for fly-fishing on many favorite streams, it will be readily understood that the devotion of numerous members to the club affairs was a most commendable sacrifice in the line of duty as against the allurements of angling pleasures. Saturday Re-entry Contest, Stow Lake, May 13, 1905. Events 12 3 4 Bad weather interfered with the scores at the regular meet of the Butte Gun Club on the 21st inst. The hODOrs were won by Walker who, for the second time, carried off the Confarr medal. These scores were made: Event No. 1, 25 targets— Smith 23, Walker 20, Niokey 19, Pat Allen 22, Killeen 19, Goddard 21, Nal- bach 19, Johnson 17, Paxson 19, Morley 20, Burg- land 20.

Fred Carter, who participated during the tourna- ment at San Diego but who is really more of an expert with a rifle than he is with a shotgun, during the afternoon of each day gave an exhibition of his ability in that line, and those who were present had an oppor- tunity of seeing some remarkable shooting. One of the many feats was the hitting and discharging of car- tridges thrown in the air for him to shoot at. Pennies and marbles were also hit on the fly by Mr. Carter's bullets. The sport of pigeon shooting appears to be doomed in England. At its annual meeting on Saturday, May 20th, the Hurlingham club, which, although mainly concerned with polo, was originally started as a pig- eon shooting club, by an overwhelming majority car- ried a resolution proposed by the president, Earl AHcester, to henceforth abolish pigeon shooting at the. club meetings. Many titled sportsmen attended the meeting. Parliament attempted to deal with the question in 1883, but the House of Lords vetoed the bill adopted by the House of Commons prohibiting trap shooting on the ground of its brutality. It iB expected that now, after the Hurlingham club's decision, the House of Lords will no longer oppose such a bill. a b C Mocker, E. A Kirk.H.H Kirk.H.H Kirk.H.H Edwards, G.C Edwards, G.

Los Angeles Dog Show. TBy G. L. Waring.] TheBecond show concluded by the Southwestern Kennel Club— this year under American Kennel Club Rules — was quite a success, financial and otherwise. The arrangements were better in every way than was the case last year; there was more room and a better judging ring. The Chutes' Park is an ideal place for a dog show, as there was lots of room outside the tent provided for the dogs, and it is a nice place to lounge around in when one is tired of listening to the ever- listing merits, as propounded by owners, of the dogs. A continual dialogue of stop, wrinkle, coat, legs and feet, size, etc., etc., is liable to pall on even the loving- sst of "dog -lovers, " and when a man tells you that his terrier is as straight as a "harrow" in front (he might have mentioned also that his teeth were as sharp) it is time to make for the open, and get a little fresh air. The best classes were Bull Terriers, Fox Terriers, Pointers and Irish Setters. The Collie classes were very well filled but were not remarkably filled. There was a marked absence of coat all through, and ears generally were bad. I doubt if the Collie will ever be very good in Southern California because the climate is too warm for the development of a good coat. It seems rather absurd to have to inform a Collie shower, that this dog should have a double coat, part of it hard and part of it soft, but from conversations I held with some owners, it seems necessary that they ought to know this. There were about three good coated dogs — that is as they appeared during the show, at other times they might be different. They were Sir Wallace, Scotch Laddie, perhaps Wishaw Leader Jr., and Old Hall Silvia, though the latter could be improved with care. Many of the others had abundant enough coats but they were soft, and of the Pomeranian order. In puppy dogs (sable and white) the contest was between Wishaw Leader Junior and Edgemont Springs Pinnacle. The former is better let down than the latter and more developed all over but he throws his ears badly at present. If they could be got up he would grow into a nice dog. Pinnacle won. He ap- peared light and carried his ears rather high, they stood up at times. Navarre — third — is light. In novice dogs Sir Wallace won — to my mind — easily. He is a good dog with nice ears, fine expres- sion, carries his head, which is a pleasing one, well up, has plenty of length and liberty, and a good coat. Ravenswood was Becond. I never did like him, though he is a dog with a beautiful disposition. He had more coat than when I saw him last. He is undersized and short all over except In the head, which is as long as anyone could desire, but rather lacking in under jaw. His neck, body and tail are all short. I preferred his son, Sir McKenzie. This dog has more length and liberty than his sire; his neck is allrightand beshowswell. Hisears are almost pricked, (but this can be remedied if wafers are attached to them) and his coat looked as if constant combing had destroyed it. He also had lots of bone and will be heard from again. VernTottie went through the bitch classes where exhibited. She is young and consequently still un- furnished. She struck me as light, but, no doubt, will improve with age in this respect. I don't like her eyes. They are sunken, and she ha9 the expres- sion of an imbecile. Old Hall Silvia is a good bitch and properly shown can be got to look better than she did. She is a good bodied bitoh, haB a fine head and a good coat. Her off ear sometimes sticks straight up. Her puppies that were shown, on the contrary, all hang their'a sideways, though their heads are all of the finest kind. Truly, a Collie has a hard position to fill with reference to its ears. They have to be where the Duke of York's ten thousand men landed eventually "half way up" and "neither up nor down." Scotch Laddie— the dog with the good coat — is a nice bodied dog and fine shower, but is thick in the skull and carries his ears badly. Bulldogs were fair. The winner dog, Bill SykeB, is a good honest dog with plenty of substance, a very fair wide deep head and generally well turned all over. The second, Paul Mainer, waB a dog of the same Btamp and not far behind him. True Blue won in bitches. She is a fair solid bitch and appeared quite active for her size. She is a good stamp for a brood bitch. Some thought her rather pinched be- low the eyes but I could not see it. The second, Wedding Bells, had a taking head but was lacking in the bread basket and generally short. Two French Bulldogs of no account were shown. E. E. Angst's Prince Royal had it all his own way in St. Bernards. He is too low, is a bad color and his eyes are somewhat sunken; but he is a fine bodied dog, with enormous bone, straight legs, no slackness any where, coat of good quality though bad in color, ears all right, acceptable deep head. The third dog, Prince Yen, is Bomewhat of the same stamp— includ- ing the bad color, but is rather behind all over and his head iB not quite up to Prince Royal's. He is a bit off in expression and carries ears a trifle high, but is a 9trong bodied, straight legged dog. Rover, sec- ond, has a nice head, with true St. Bernard expression, good ears and a proper color. He is, however, lack- ing in substance, carries his tail too high and with too much curl. The winner in rough novice bitches, Queen Regent II, is a very nice bitch all round, with good bone and substance. Her coat was in bad order and should be attended to. Betsy B. is just fair. Beauty doesn't possess much of it, being small and wanting, and too sharp in the muzzle. The only smooth, named Don CaeBar, is a very fair kind of a dog, a little pinched in muzzle and a tail too curly. Only one Great Dane dog was shown. This was Shattuck & Desmond's Duke, a harlequin. He seemed to be a fine upstanding dog, good on his pins, with a nice neck, a proper crop, good head and outlook generally. He was quite the fattest dog I ever saw in the ring, he reminded me of a gigantic plum duff. Isabellita, the only other Dane (shown in puppy bitches), even allowing for her youth, is light and is also houndy as to head. A Chesapeake Bay Dog — a novelty in these parts — was on exhibition. He looks something like a brown, curly coated Retriever with- out the curl. He also lackB the size and general scope of a Retriever. He is nevertheless a well set up, good- showing dog and appears to be very intelligent. Two funny little things were shown as Foxhounds, but the prize was withheld. Mr. William J. Morris exhibited some very good Pointers. In puppy dogs, his Dictator stood up well, had a fine bead, and is a good dog all round. His ears are a trifle coarse. There was little between the second and third, Dexter Ru9h and Plato Kent. The latter is much deeper in the chest than the former, and though his eyes are not of the best, and the top of his shoulders are somewhat wide, I would have placed them the other way. Navajo in puppy bitches is good, and subsequently was the runner up for the Examiner Challenge Cup for the best dog or bitch in the show bred and owned by a member of the Southwestern Kennel Club. Heroine is light. In novice bitches Faith won easily. She is a real good bitch, nice body, legs, feet, tail, a particularly classy neck and carriage of head, a well chiselled head and neat stop. She went through all her classes without difficulty. There was a poor show of English Setters. In novice dogs, Rufus is rather lacking in quality, but has a good outline and looks like business. Jack is a strong dog, too thick in the head and K. E. Preuss' Doctor K. — the winner — is a nioe kind of a dog with quality, but a little on the light side, though his feather and general expression is all right. In the puppy bitohes there was only one entry and this was called Beauty. People should not call their dogs "Beauty," it leaves snch an opening for invid- ious remarks. This"Beauty"hada very bad expression of oountenance. In novice bitches there were only two entries. Ruby — with a bad coat won from Beauty. The precious stone beat the Beauty, but in limit bitches the jeweihad to table a back seat to Dolly Gray who— a frequent winner — represented conscious worth. In Irish SetterB Mr. Paul Piepers. the Secretary of the show, was very much to the fore. His dog Ch. Shandon Ben won everything befoie him, and eventu- ally was one of the last two left in for best dog in the competition for show cup. Only two ware shown in Gordons. Count Jaro Von Schmidt, the popular President, won with the bitch Lady Jennie Jr. (by Tipperary the Great, out of Lady Jennie). She is a good bitch, well colored, but was lacking in feather. She had, however, nothing to beat, as Sport is curly and coarse. Cockers innumerable appeared, Cockers black, Cockers parti-colored, Cockers any solid color otter than black and some whose color was not very solid. Nothing startling appeared, and the decisions were well received. The Bull Terriers were very good. The puppy dog class showed up as well — if not better, than any other. Tedcote Wonder has a very good well fllled-out head, and few faults can be found with him. Hi* tail ie weak and a little too long — which can be rem taking a joint or two off. Barney Oldfield 12 ®,txe gveeixstv anb gpovt&mcm [May 27, 1905 is a levd-headed, strong dog. In novlpe dogs Tedcote Wonde.- beat Silkwood Czar in head, and, perhaps, somewhat in quality. The Czar is an older dog and conWedtivbetter Curulshed. He is a fine sturdy doc, siiows «ell, and I like him very much. Pete, in headed and was outclassed. In the ng's Brother had the class to him- self' whi°n I •=* seen ln ihe liae' he oroucl>ed An~n , between his legs, and did not ex- ..ahed relationship, or his illustrious deacei by Woodcote Wonder. Peer Velt Wonder won easily in puppy bitches. She is a litter sister to Tedcote Wonder. X prefer her to the dog. She might not be so classy as the dog as to head- though there isver\ littledifference— but she is better in boav and tail, and their legs and general showing ability are about equal. She won again in novice bliches. Bessie Bell, second, is fair but rather pinched in muzzie. Phoebe is snub-nosed and appeared to be undershot, and Judy is bow-legged. Princess of Trebizonde, third (not cropped) is a great fighter; and for a princess, behaved in an undignified manner. She went for everything in sight. She also was too fat for a princess. Fannie Davenport, the winner in limit bitches is a very nice all round bitch. She has a good head and body, stands well.and has the best— in fact tne only proper— crop in the show. She has too much hair on her tail. A little rosin would obviate tnis. Tne Princess, still struggling, was second and Gypsie Queen third. The latter has a remarkably fine car- riage, a good body, legs and feet, and carries her head well up at the end of a fine neck. Her head how- ever puts her out of Court, as it is thick, too short, and too profusely marked with brindle. Bostons (they ought to be called Bostons pure and simple, or else Boston Bulldogs, there is no terrier much about them) were numerous. Mr. G. H. Herr s puppy bitch, Miss Pronto, carried all before her, and was left in with the last sis for the best dog in the show contest. Rogue III was the best shower of the bunch and got some specials, besides winning in limit and open— where he did not meet Miss Pronto. The fox Terrier classes were distinctively good. The "regulars" took the prizes, but there were also some good local dogs. As the former were recently shown at San Franoisco, I will not criticise them especially, except tosay that Ruler (showed for special prizes only) is thin and in poor condition. Victory, who was not shown, is a beautiful bitch with a good loin, has substance and quality and is my style. She might be filled out a trifle better below the eyes. The wire haired bitch Endcliffe Precise is a grand shower, has good substance, bone, a fine long neck, a grand head and ears and always stands right, "asking for the money." If she could be improved, it is in her pasterns. She won the cup for the best dog in the show, the next to her being the red Setter, Shandon Ben. In all classes I would have placed them about as Mr. Ashton did. In smooth puppy dogs Wandee Victor had most quality, but at present is somewhat shy. Flash, second, has also quality but will get thick in the head. Sting is a cockey little dog and is all there in the ring, but carries his tail over his back, and, though having a good terrier expression and good ears, iB wanting in head. Parker is a very taking dog with a good strong punishing head, and gamey. He has, at some time, bad one of his legs broken and he is on the large side. The latter remark also applies to Kascimo Pony, by the same sire. Wandee Victor won in novice dogs. Vagabond, second, has good hair, plenty of quality, stands on bis toes and shows well, but is some- what light all through. Kascimo Checkers, third in this class, is a nice dog but somewhat coarse and his tail has been docked too short. Norfolk Huntsman, a good game-looking terrier, rather low in flesh, won in all classes where he did not meet Sabine Rey- nard. The latter is rather deeper and shorter in the back, otherwise there is not much to choose between them. This is the case also in the wire haired dogs, Selwonk Topper and Humberstone Mearns. The latter is a little shorter and a little deeper than the other. Sabine Reverie was an easy winner in smooth bitches- Wandee Violet looks like growing into a very good one. Warren Driver, who was third to Reynard and Huntsman, in the smooth open dog class, though too thick for modern ideas, has a fine outline, carries his head high, the best of legs and feet, a good coat and shows lots of quality — which thick onea seldom do. The Irish Terrier bitch Belfast Rose is a nice one. She Is rather lacking in under jaw, but has a good carriage, excellent coat and is well timbered. Prince, second, looks like an off customer. His ears are bad and he is somewhat on the coarse side. Cardiff War- man, a fine bodied dog, out of coat, and tall carried too much over, Is rather spoiled by the hang of his ears. Tbey look like a Bedlongton's. A good many Toys were exhibited, among them a beautiful choco- late Pomeranian, the property of Mrs. George S. Thomas. AWARDS.

Whatever, theoretically, may be its capabilities and uses, actual service has found for the revolver but one practical use which justifies its retention and covers the trouble of Hb carrying in war; namely, to destroy suddenly and effectively, to kill "dead," an enemy threatening at close quarters, within, Bay, twenty paces. This is its one practical, paramount use, and to this purpose its calibre should conform. This is the use which in the days of the wild west developed and made the revolver preeminently the weapon of the fighting American, and made it, let me say, not of toy calibre, but a a real gun, which means a .45 and nothing else. This being and having always been the revolver's only real justification, it seems most strange that without any change in its purpose there should have been in its building any change which, like the lessen- ing of its calibre, should reduce its capability of ful- filling that purpose. It is probably due to that spirit of humanity which in long peace begins to hope that war can be made without killing people. At any rate the calibre is reduced, and thus have we put at the mercy of his enemy,- most often now a savage, every soldier of ours who in a real crisis relies upon his revolver to save him. A revolver is not fit for hand-to-hand encounter) and it is practically useless for fighting beyond twenty paces. For the first, anything or nothing is better — a sabre, a bayonet, or even a club — and today the soldier of every branch is amply armed therefore. For the second, his hope must be in other things, the rifle or carbine; for the revolver does not in practice save him. In Buch a fight, if he have only a revolver, then must he, and in reality he does, always voluntarily or in- voluntarily make distance fast one way or the other, toward or from his enemy. He has got to do so in order to make his own arm effective agaisnt the enemy or the enemy's ineffective againBt him. This is ex- perience. The revolver is, then, an arm for close quarters, and for close quarters only. Now at close quarters you must kill your enemy and kill him quickj or he will do as much for you. It is not enough simply to knock him down, not enough to wound, even to wound him badly; because over the souls of men fighting and falling at close quarters, even wounded unto death, bui not dead, comes a fierce rage and thirst of revenge, an awful desire to kill and sweep their Blayers with them into eternity, and often they do it. It is but the crook of a finger, perhaps. Whenever, therefore, we really come to a fight with the revolver it is necessary to have a revolver that will kill. This the .38 calibre does not. No better test of our revolver's worth and the fitness of its calibre for the purpose for which a revolver has been provided can be baa or ever has been had than in its recent use by our troops fighting in the Moro country, When they fight, Moros fight suddenly at close quarters in the revolver's domain of twenty paces It is a damning comment on the calibre of the .38 that every officer, man, and camp follower in the regiments which have served against the Moros after a first experience laid aside the .38 wherever be could by hook or crook raise a bigger gun, generally the old .45 Indeed, a department commander, who by con- stant personal part with troops in the fi6ld, knew the need, provided and issued to officers and men as many as he could get of . 45 revolvers, gladly taking even the old style slow working single action ones. The writer's own experience and observation record many, miserable failures of the .38 and its bullet to do what we have a right to expect of a revolver, together with many notable examples of the contrary in the calibre which we have abandoned for the .38. At San Cristobal bridge, 1st January 1900, our men ran a small bunch of half a dozen insurgents, as it were, against and over me alone in concealment a little ahead of the men. On they came like a flock of frightened sheep, a machine gun cracking behind them. Almost poking them in the ribs, I emptied my ■38 into them. Never a man hesitated stopped or fell; never a man seemed to flinch or start at my shots. They never noticed me. I might as well have been working a bean Bhooter on them. That .38 never hurt a soul of them. It was probably on acconnt of thiB kindly treatment that they had the consideration not to take me along with them, as they could easily have done, had they felt so inclined, so helpless and armless was I. «-No great while after this in a sudden encounter with insurgents at close quartei'B, an ordinary pistol shot of my command knocked down and out three out of a bunch of five insurgents with the six shots, rapidly delivered, from his revolver — his .45 revolver. In a fight by boat last year with the Sultan of Toros on Lake Lanao I suddenly heard a death groan and a fearful struggle behind me. I turned to find in my boat a hostile Moro, kris in hand and the awful tire of murder blazing in his eye. One stroke of his deadly knife had hall severed the head from the body of my soldier steersman, and the flashing blade was raining blows .nto the bottom of the boat at the prostrate writhing form and flying legs of the soldier oarsman who had occupied the place between me and the steersman. The latter, his head fallen sadly for- ward on his breast, sat bolt upright in bis place, dying. Too fast to tell I poured four shots into the Moro, but to my consternation they seemed wholly without effect; and in desperation and bitterness of heart, cursing such an arm and the fate that had given it to the soldier to fail him in his hour of need, I spared the last two shots, springing forward in the last hope of shoving the revolver's muzzle against him, and so to blow out his brains or heart. In that hundredth part of an instant he stooped to clear a bamboo bow that looped the narrow boat over the body of the fallen oarsman; I thrust my muzzle against the top of his close-cropped head and fired. Then at last he felt the .38 and sank forward upon his own weapon and the legs of the soldier whose head was against my feet. A cannon's shot from this place another day in a fight with Moros this happened: A Moro who had just surrendered in our assault on a Moro fort, sud- denly snatched a dagger from his clothing and sprang upon a soldier, stabbing with that invisible speed with which only a Moro can work with a knife. He reached the soldier's bowels with his first stroke, but he never made another. A single shot from the .45 of an officer nearby dashed him into eternity as if by a million volts of electricity. He never so much as kicked; he hardly quivered. That .45 with one shot saved the soldier's life. Would a .38 have done it? Who that has used it thinks so? At Paglima Hassan's cotta, Jolo, in November of last year, we fought for half a mile through a thick swamp. From their hidding in the bush, and behind boulders and trees at close quarters, fifteen or twenty paces, Moros, with the mad heroism with which they sometimes fight, repeatedly rushed our men — to die. Three such were killed by an excellent, cool pistol shot: but, first, it took twelve shots to do it — four per man; second, it was found that each had to be hit in the heart before he was stopped; and finally, it was a special bullet used. Now, doesn't it seem a little straining, to say the least, to require a soldier in deadly, almost hand-to-hand combat to fire four shots to save himself when he might do it with one? Or a little unreasonable to require him to provide his own special bullets for such occasions. Or introducing unnecessary doubt as to the outcome to require him under such conditions to hit his enemy in just one little spot, the head or the heart? In this last I mean no joke. Only the day before the incident I have just described, I was riding behind the advance guard along a narrow trail lined with the tail cogon grass of the Philippines. Happening to glance back, I saw slipping up behind me a hostile Moro, armed with a spear and a meat ax they called a barong. As I turned, he plunged into the grass and was followed by myself and half a dozen soldiers. For a minute we lost him. While the men afoot were breaking through the thick tangled giant grass, I saw and plunged for- ward after him on my horse into a small opening, firing from my .38 as I closed in on him, shot after shot which, it seemed to me, ought surely to have brought him down, but did not. He never appeared to notice them, and seeing that he would eBcape, I dashed right up to him. As he whirled upon me then with raised Bpear, I shot him with my last round under the left arm. At the crack of the revolver he fell as if struck down by some unseen mighty hand, and the men behind me, now on the edge of the opening, cried out at the sight: "That got him, that got him.,' No such thing. He bounded from the earth like an acro- bat from a spring mattress. My revolver was empty; I was helpless. The Moro was wonderfully alive, and the spear play seemed about to begin again, when the swish of a shower of Krag bullets past me caught him and ended it. I have his meatax, thanks to theKrags, not to the .38, which, though it had hit, hadnothurt. Contrast this: In Jolo a contract surgeon, mounted, went with my Bkirmish line in an attack upon Moros in a position on a hill. Suddenly there sprang from behind a boulder a Moro in the act of hurling a spear at a soldier at close quarters. The doctor fired; the spear flew, but missed its good aim, for trembling and death were already in the arm that sped it. With one shot ol his .45 the doctor had killed the Moro in the instant between aiming and throwing. Here was a typical use with beautiful fitness of the revolver for the purpose for which a revolver is in- tended. The .45 hadn't failed like my .38. Different is this last experience: An officer, .38 in hand, rushed with me in pursuit of a datto, who had just slashed at a sergeant and escaped. He headed off the Moro who hid in the jungle and when the officer came near, rushed bim at close quarters, head down and bellowing like a mad bull, kris flying. In an instant the officer fired three shots, the last just as the Moro reached and struck him. Other shots were then fired by men near, and the datto died at the officer's feet, but not until he bad with his awful kris inflicted wounds upon the officer that left this poor fellow at deabh'B door. "I deserve it, major, he said bitterly; "I deserve it for bringing out this. 38." Give us, I say, a gun that will kill, not a pepper-box which, when we use it, only so irritates an enemy that he comes and chops us with a knife. — Jlajor R.

Mallory won the state championship with anew Parker ejecton gun, quality A'A,ufl"..S;J Mr Mallory is a shooter of prominence and the "Old Reliable" in his hands, just fresh from the factory, still demonstrates the ability of the gun in no small degree. The "Old Reliable" Parker also had its share of glory at the Herron Hill Gun Club, Pittsburg, last week. Mr. Fred Coleman of Philadelphia, shooting at live birds killed 65 straight and scored 115 out of 118, with two dead at the bounds. This is the severest test to which a shotgun can be put and speaks volumes for the shooting qualities of the old gun. Mr. Colemams a cracker-jack and thinks well of the "Old" Parker. Out in Illinois, Mr. A. J. Stauber of Streator, 111 with a Parker gun broke 49 out of 50 and 98 out of 100. High man in the shoot on May 9th. Leroy Leach, who scored 500 straight on February 22d at Bonesteel, S. D, has shot at 863 targets, breaking 807 out of this number. Mr. Leach is a new advocate of the "Old Reliable" and an amateur of promise. The Parker stands well to the front and you should shoot it, if you would win. AN ENVIABLE REPUTATION. At the Union Gun Club shoot, Ingleside, May 21st, of the 48 contestants who faced the traps, a percent- age of 85J were users of that always famous but now permanently popular and reliable ammunition bearing the guarantee for perfection and accuracy — TJ. M. C. In the champion class Fred Feudner was high aver- age with 91 per cent, using U. M. C. shells. In the champion clasB pool winners were Clarence Nauman, A. J. Webb, Otto and Fred Feudner, Edgar Forster and J. W. Bradrick, all using TJ. M. C. ammunition. Edgar Forster in the champion class, using IT. M. C. Magic shells, was winner of the medal. In the first class the winners were D. Daniels and Dr. E. Pitres. Dr. Pitres made a straight of 25. In the second class the winners were JoBeph Masterson and A. M. Shields, both using TJ. M. C. shells. In the third class the winners were Messrs. Scott Leary, William Schneider and J. Biller, all using TJ. M. C. ammunition. In politics it counts greatly for or against a candi- date whether he wins or loses in his own home terri- tory; consequently, following this statement, which is almost axiomatic, the popularity of TJ. M. C. ammu- nition in its Pacific Coast home is indeed evidence that the TJ. M. C. products have made good in every point and promise which go to make up the qualities demanded by shotgun experts. WINS THAT MEAN SOMETHING. Wins made at such big tournaments as the Penn- sylvania State Shoot and the Missouri State Shoot mean something, because the entries are large and the competition keen. They mean extraordinary skill in the shooter and superior merit in the ammu- nition used. Winchester "Leader" shells were used in making the following recent winnings: Pennsyl- vania State Shoot, Reading trophy, four man team championship of Pennsylvania, won bv team composed of Al Heil, C. F. Kramlich, H. Schlfcher and M. S. Brey, all amateur shooters and all using Winchester "Leader" shells. Denny trophy, for state shooters only, won by Al Heil with Winchester "Leader" shells, the shells Mr. Heil always shoots Herron Hill Gun Club handicap, open to all amateurs, won by A. B.

Get Profitable Cows. On the average dairying has been a profitable bueiness for the western farmer, who has now reached a point where he must have something more than the chance of a calf for the keep of an average cow. If the dairying, however, is to be profitable, he must systematically weed ont his cows. It takes from 125 to 150 pounds of butter to pay for the keep of a cow during the year, using farm feed at farm prices, and low farm prices at that. If it requires 150 pounds to pay for the keep of the cow and the cow gives 175 pounds, there is about twenty-five pounds of butter, say $5 profit. If the cow gives 200 pounds, then there is $10 profit, twice as much profit ae with a cow that gives 175 pounds. Two hundred pounds is not a large yield. In fact it should be the minimum in the mind of the farmer. Yields of 300 pounds each for a number of years for the cows in whole dairies are not rare, and there are occasional in- stances where the yield netB up to 350 pounds. These, however, are rare. Where a man has a 2u0 pound cow he can make some money ; where he has 250 pound cows he can make plenty of it. Where he has cows averaging 300 pounds he is on •'Easy Street" and need not fear the rod flag of the sheriff about his premises. To get a herd of cows yielding this high average, however, is a matter of time and close study. The way to begin is to have the cows tested once a week either by buying a Babc.ck tester and doing it yourself, or by taking a composite sample of the week's milk to the creamery and getting it tested. A composite sample is easily prepared. Take a Mason fruit jar for each cow and put her name on it, put some corrosive sublimate in it, with a little red paint in it to warn of danger, put in a gill of each day's milk, and at the end of the week take it to the creamery and have it tested. He must, however, weigh the milk each day, for it is not a question of the quality of milk alone nor of the quantity, but a question of quantity and quality. You will then find out what your cows are doing. It is not well to discard a cow, particu- larly a heifer, because she doeB not do well the first year. She may do better the next year, and as much must not be expected of a two-year-old heifer as of three and four-year-old cows. When you make up your mind that a cow falls be- low the standard, then fatten her and sell her to the butcher, or sell her to some man who wants to try the experi- ment of keeping the cow for the chance of a calf. This is one side of the ques- tion. The other is to feed a balanced ration. By a balanced ration we mean a ration or feed which has in it the elements neceeaary to yield a large amount of good milk. In a good May or June pasture we have a balanced ration of nature's mak- ing. That is one reason why fresh cows always do their best in May or June. It is not the only reason, for in these months the lly does not trouble, and otherwise conditions are at their beBt. Many farmers fall down by not feeding a balanced ration. They expect their cows to work miracles, to make bricks without straw, to provide milk without ha\ing the proper raw material. We have abun- dant examples of cows being picked up by the experiment stations, notably in K-ansas, just common country cows, that' when brought to the college and properly fed prove to be exceptionally profitable milkers. They were not profitaDle on the fa m because the farmer did not give them a chance, did not feed them a bal- anced ration. This balanced ration is not some new- ngled scientific notion gotten up by agricultural papers, colleges and experi- ment stations, but just a plain, every-day, common sense, practical proposition. It is jjst giving the cow what she needs for the work Bhe has on hand, juBt as our grandmothers gave us pork and beans— the pork furnishing the carbohydrates and the beans the albuminoids; just as they give us bread and butter, the bread furnishing the albuminoids, the butter the carbohydrates; just as they give us roast beef and potatoes, the beef furnish- ing the flesh-formers, the potatoes the carbohydrates ; just as they give us a good old-fashioned New England boiled dinner, which has it in about evervthing you can think of — some meat, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, cabbage, carrots — all going to the right spot — the cheapest and best dinner that a man can get at a restaurant. Now we must apply the same common sense to the feeding of dairy cows, if they are to be profitable. There is nothing better than good pasture and its grasses during May and June. Tbore iB nothing better during the winter than corn silage with alfalfa and clover hay. The one question which dairy farmers must study with increased diligence during the years to come is what constitutes a balanced ration, or the ration that goes to the right spot and doeB the business. — Chicago Dairy Produce. Poultry Pointers. for adapted to the raising of water fowls. Besides yielding a regular income in the way of featheis, they are very profitable fowls for the market, much easier raised than turkeys ; they sell as readily at most seasons at good profits. Breeding flocks of poultry should con- sist of the beat of the whole flock. A dozen selected hens mated with a choice cock and the eggs from them UBed only for hatching purposes is a sure mode of gradually increasing the quality of the stock and by so doing the poultryman can make a selection of particular breeds at a small coBt Do not make the mistake of trying to keep too many kinds. It is a great deal more trouble and expense to attempt to keep two breeds separate than it is to keep only one, while with only one breed a better opportunity iB afforded to note the best layers and of selecting their eggs from which to breed. How to Choose a Boar. Maiket all fowls but those needed. Early feeding is most desirable fowls. The hominy meal is important and is alBO the moBt relished Do not allow the fowls to Bleep on the sheds and trees at night. While ducks can live in water all day, they must have dry quarters at night. Feed gOBlings little and often and after a week old turn out to pasture. Removing to dry quarters t ill fight the biggest half of any diseaae. Fowls that are overied are not healthy neither will they lay eggs regularly. If a hen leaves her neBt when any one approaches she Bhould not be used for setting purposes. Do not get the pullets too fat by high feeding ; let them grow long and muBCu ar. There is no good reason for keeping and feeding old male birds a week after the demand for hatching egg is over. Grain is needed to be fed when bones and vegetables are supplied in abundance. EggB from fully matured fowls will not only hatch better, but will produce stronger chicks, and will be lesB liable to degenerate. The evening ration should be a grain one and generously fed, the object being to keep the cropB of the layers full during the night. In feeding for eggs good judgment is required to steer between the two ex- tremes of insufficient nourishment and over-feeding. To have good layers breed from good laying Btock and cultivate their quality the same as any other important points of usefulness. The evening feed of both ducks and turkeys Bhould be scattered near the roosting places. Never attempt too much ; keep only as many fowls as you have ample place for; only as many varieties as you can do full justice to if you expect to make a success of the buBinees. The first eggs laid in spring are usually the best for hatching, but those laid by pullets should not he set. After a hen has produced thirty or forty eggs in regu- lar succession the system becomes en- feebled and the eggs are more or lesB wanting in vitality. The food for fattening should always be given in the form of meal or some- thing similar, ae the digestion of soft food is much easier than grain. It will also be a help if all of the soft food is wet up with sweet milk. Geese do not receive as much attention as they should on farms, especially "Like begetB like." You want bows hammed down at the hock and when you stand behind them they are full and fleshy in the fork. Did you ever think of thiB when you were selecting the boar? Well, then hereafter, see that the male is so full there that it forces the privates low down and not away up near the tail. "Like begets like." The most im- portant part of a broodsow is her milking capacity. You want a nice full even lot of teats. Well, see that the boar has them fully and evenly developed. The larger the better. 1 never saw a boar with small uneven teats that sired a lot of sows that proved themselves good sucklers. "Like begets like" only to an intensified degree the longer and stronger the breed- ing in a line. This being bo. it is true of every part of the animal, and therefore more care must be taken to select the best. — Live Stock and Dairy. Age to Castrate Lambs. The ability to select a pig, and to tell what he will develop into at maturity iB one of the things that few hog breeders ever succeed in being able to do. To learn this requires the closest attention to the development and a keen concep- tion of nature. The selection of the male at two months old, and to be positive as to what he will make as a two-year-old is the point that few are able to do and one of the things that we wiBh to help you with as far aB we can. •Starting with the head we would say get a face wide between the eyes, short in length, a medium Bized ear, carried up if thin or it will come down with age. A large ear, even if up when young, will drop down and cover the eyesight. The eye should be strong, bright and show some white which donates vigor and the life of the animal. Take two pigs alike in these respects, then Btand in front of them looking down on their backs, one is broad shouldered carrying width nicely back to a nice, rounded ham with just showing a crease across the loin at the point of the ham, the other one has a narrow shoulder, the blades coming up close to Bpine like the Bhoulder blades of a Jersey cow, but BeemB to be good width through the lungs. This pig, when standing in front of him, startB at the ears and gets wider, clear back to point of ham, about three inches each side of the tail, and here the ham seems to be square. Go behind these two pigs and the last one seems to be fuller and wider than the other one, ham running as far down to the hock and both reach well along the back, ribB well sprung and while looking like good lengthy pigs they are nicely coupled. Standing at one side, the back is slightly arched above the straight line from ear to tail. It haB a nice clean even sweep. The bottom line runs from hock with a nice even drop, though deep between the front legB and carriea the briBket out low and full toward the jowl. The jaw iB full, strong and firm. Which pig is your choice? Nearly every one will take the first, other things being equal. Well, you are wrong. The first hog will be heavy shouldered and at two years will be wedge shape with the small end behind. Take the smooth Bbouldered hog and aB he develops the shoulders will fill out and at two years old you will have a big square hog, good at both ends and far ahead of the first one. Then consider the legs. Get Btraight lege. Do not have knock-kneed pigs in front. Have them on Btraight legs stand- ing up on their feet. This is also true of the hind legs. We see so many hogs with the hind legs crooked. The feet are in under them from four to six inches too far, therefore, the strain comes on the hock joint and as they get heavy the joint will not stand the weight and you will notice the hog stepping around and then sit down simply because he does not stand on straight hind legs. In a recent article on the subject of castration of lambs it was adviBed that the operation be performed when lambs are fifteen days old. This advice was based upon an extensive experience with the operation but we have nothing to say against castrating lambs at five days old provided those following the practice have good success. We have preferred fifteen days as the best time, thinking the lambs by that time would have be- come strong, in good health, over the troubles Bometimes experienced from the first milk of the dam and leBS liable to quit sucking as a result of the operation. In many instances lambs at five days old are weakly beastieB not in a fit state to withstand shock of castration so that it is best to wait until they gather Btrength and are thriving nicely. This is specially true when ewes have had a hard winter upon incomplete rations of hay and fod- der without grain. Where ewes are well fed and have thriven well during winter their lambs would be better able to stand the early operation. It is apparent, therefore, that good judgment Bhould be used in deciding when to castrate, and we would always wait for good weather even were lambs to go longer than fifteen dayB uncut— A.

To dairymen aod stockmen all over the country, to men with large herds and men with email herds, one troublesome ques- tion stands out prominently, and that is, how to beBt handle and control, without impairing hia usefulness, the bull or bulls kept either lor stock raising or dairy pur- poses. I think the stockmen have less trouble than the dairymen ; for the first reason, that in the larger herds of cattle the bull or bulls run with the herd, and for the second reason, that in the larger and more sluggish breeds of cattle the bulls are not nearly as nervous or vicious as in some of the dairy strains. This latter fact seems to be so well understood that it has come to be a general saying that a Jersey bull is just about as dangerous as a grizzly bear. To dairymen who breed their herds to come fresh at certain times of the year, and have to take care of their bull and keep him stabled or penned up a greater part of time, I offer what I think is a fairly good solution of the question. The bull, we must remember, iB an animal of great energy and vigor, and in his natural condition would expend a great deal of that energy and vigor in roaming the country from one band of cattle to another, if the bands are small, fighting with other bulls. Hie horns were given him for defense and aggression but if he can get company and some other animal of his kind to play with, he verv seldom becomes vicious ; for the bull is actually a very playful animal, and loves c mpany. Now, to tie up or pen up with- out company an animal of this kind, and expect him to be gentle and good natured is asking too much of animal nature. And many a good bull has been killed for being cross when he might have been kept for years with proper treatment. When I say "many a good bull," I mean just what I say, for nearly all the very vigor- ous, virile bulls are inclined to be vicious, and if any dairyman has paid close atten- tion he will find out that most of his best cows have come from this class of bulls. Now, the following treatment I have found to be the best to keep them quiet and render them reasonably safe, viz: FirBt, to fence a lot about large enough to give him most of his pasture in the summer. The fence should be strong, but if he is put in when young, it will not be hard to keep him with a reasonably good fence. Keep him iD there all the time, with a place to stable and feed him in winter. Second, when abut eighteen months old, dehorn him. Quite a number of good stockmen object to dehorning, and say that a dehorned bull can kill a man juBt as well as one with horns on. I admit this to be true, but I also know that every animal knows by instinct what his fighting weapons are, and a bull de- horned will not tackle a man nearly as readily as one with horns. Thirdly, never pet a bull; always treat him kindly hut firmly. If you want to drive him into a stable or another pen, drive him, if it takes a club or a fork or all of the crew on the place, but drive him. Start this when young, and he won't trouble you much later on. Fourth, put another bull with him, or if the place does not carry two bulls, go and buy a stag and put in with him, even if the pen will not support the two and you have to feed them. You will then find that a greater part of their time will be put in playing; and by this method the bull gets lots of exercise. He works off his surplus vim, tries himself ; he has company all the time; it makes him good natured, and last, but not least, he iB surer in service. I have never but once seen a bull cross or vicious when another bull of about like size was kept with him in a pen large enough for good exercise; and when bo kept, I have been able to go into their pen, separate them and let them serve cows with no barrier between them ; just simply stand in front of the other one with a stick; I have been able at all times to drive them into a stable and close them up as easily as an ox. I have taken a vicious bull, kept alone, and put him in with another, and in a short time he has become docile; after some weeks, to experiment with him, I have put him by himself, and he has become vicious and dangerous; and I have put him back with another, and he haB become docile. Besides being kind to a bull, treat him justly. I could, and perhaps sometime will, write you an article showing how a bull resented unjuBt treatment at my bands, and it was done in a manner that thoroughly convinced me that an intelli- gent bull knows when he is treated un- justly.— I).

HOLPIN, Papinta Stook Farm, Concord, Cal. Poultry Destroys Insects. One advantage in keeping poultry on the farm is generally overl oked, and that is the vast number of insects de- stroyed by them. If every insect destroyed by a hen in a day were counted and an estimate made of the number of inBecte eaten by a flock of twenty-five hens, it would show that hens are more useful in that respect than may be supposed. When busily at work scratching, the hens secure many grubs and worms,while the larvae of insects also assist in provid- ing them with food. A flock of turkeys will scratch every nook and corner of the field for insects, and as a turkey can consume a large amount of food, it will make away with a vast number of them each day. The active guinea is ever on the search over the fields for insects. It does not scratch, but every blade of grass is looked over, and rarely comes up to the barn- yard to seek food. Its industry prompts it to secure its own food, and in bo doing hundreds of insects are destroyed. The ravenous duck, whoBe appetite seems never satisfied, will attempt to seek enough in the fields, and it captures not only insects, but tbe field-mouse and small reptiles, which will be eaten if other food is not plentiful. 0* LIVERY FOR SALE.

Deposit Your Idle Funds There is a continued decreaBe in im- portation of meat into Germany, especial- ly from the United StateB, and Consul Frank H. Mason, at Ber'in, attributes it to the rigid inspection of all incoming shipments. He eaya there is a remark- able increase in the consumption of horBe flesh throughout the German empire. In writing to the State Department Mr. Ma- son says : "In 1897 the whole number of horses killed in Berlin for meat was 7267. In 1900 the number had increased to 10,- 815, and last year to 13,000. Estimating that an average size horse will yield 230 poundB of edible flesh, there was derived from this source last year about 3,290,000 pounds of meat which was sold in sixty- four shops which are especially licensed for that purpose. At BreBlau, which has a population of about 500,000, against 2,500,000 in Berlin and suburbs, 3800 horses were killed last year for human food, and in Southern Germany, and especially Saxony, the consumption of horse flesh was much greater. o While sheep will get more sustenance from poor land and at the same time do the land more good than any other stock we may possess, it must not be forgotten that they will also repay liberal feeding.

In color they are mostly blaoks — a few dark greys. One of them a five-year old. Weight 2100 pounds. One of the finest we imported has a fine, small head and throat latch, very short In the back with a draft middle; is olean in the limbs and has been very much admired by all who have seen him. We have two other dark greys that are very much admired on account of quality and size. In our collection of thirty head of Stallions the first sales were greys. We have one dark bay with blaok points, no white; coming four years old, weight 2050 pounds. We will guarantee him to weigh at maturity 2400 pounds. He is muoh admired for his fine head and throat latch and short back. His limbs are first-class and in proportion to his body. These Stallions are not like some other breeds that we have with the thickest part of the neck at the top end. They have size, quality and enduranoe. We have quite a number of black stallions, four and five years old, weighing from 1900 to 2000 pounds Their good qualities are too numerous to men- tion. They are as "fine as peaohes," with fine head and throat latch and very olean limbed. We neverhad a barn of as good Stallions at any place as we have at present in San Jose. These Stal- lions are ready any day for service. People say that there is at present tho brightest prospect for good crops in this oountry that has been for years. Wny will not the farmer improve his horse stock and also the prosperity of the com* munity In which he lives? We now have twenty head of good Stallions to select from. C. F. Singmaster, the senior member of the firm, has been In San Jose for the past five weeks and is proud to say we havehad extremely good sucoess In making sales. Have met with only two fail- ures in making sales, and that was sometime ago when people were a little afraid of drouth. We expect the parties to come back now any day, as we have had fine rains and prospects for the fanner and stock raiser never were better. Intending purchasers wilt do well to come soon and see our stockof horses, and we are very sure they will go home with a good Stallion. Where they pay cash we make a liberal discount. In our next shipment will be some good registered draft mares. MANAGER FOR Singmaster & Sons' San Jose Branch 127 St. John Street, San Jose, Cal.

The new management of Agricultural Park, San Jose, is arranging for a grand opening on Saturday next. The Gentleman's Driving Club, which was o.'ganizsd this week, will give its first meet on that day, and between the races, all the best horses now in training at the track, will be exhibited. Among the horses to be shown will be Kinney -Lou 2:07}, Alone 2:09}, Tuna 2:08}, Dr. Hammond 2:12}, Rajah 2:10, and the two fleetthree-jear-olds High Fly and Just It.

AVERAGE of over ten entries to each race bas n received by tbe Los Angeles Harness Horse ■ luly meeting, and a glance over the .•h is printed in full in another part of this paper will convince anyone that a week of first clas3 racing will result. The most popular classes with horsemen were the 2:24 pace which received IS entries, . t inn, with 17, and the2:27 pace and 2:45 trot which received 16 entries. The purse for two-year-old trotters drew but three entries, but the two-year-old pice has twice that number. The three-year-old trot and three-year-old pace, which are for colts and fillies without records drew 7 and 9 entries respectively Two ■ tests should result in the fastest classes given, tht- 2:119 pace and 2:11 trot. In the first named the entritsare Jonesa Basler 2:11}, Le Roi 2:101, Zolock 2:09}. Kelly Briggs 2:09}, Ira 2:10*, Alone 2:09} and Djedalion 2:10, seven pacers that are about as equally matched as any seven horses caD be. They have nearly all met before, and it has been a horse race ever; time any of them have come together. The horse that wins this race at Los Angeles, July 3d, will probably be out of the 2:09 class when the day is over. The 2:11 trot is also a "hot bunch." Ama A. 2:16} trotting and 2:13} pacing, is back at the diagonal gait. She was pacing last year and forced Edwin S. to his mark of 2:0S at San Jose Rozelle 2:14 the gray geld- ing known in Los Angeles as "the pink horse" is in this race and as he worked a mile in 2:10J a few weeks ago, he will have to be reckoned with. Capt. J. H. Bennetts bay gelding Dr. Hammond 2:12}, that is working like a coming 2:10 performer, Frank Wright's H D. B. 2:13, a horse that can beat his record, Robi- zola 2:12} the mare that Millard Sanders drove a trial better than 2:10, Lady Madison 2:13J a mare that will trot very close to that mark, Ole 2:11 the Silas Skinner gelding that is generally in the money in any class he starts in, his last year's antagonist Briney K. 2:11, and the stallion Petigru 2:101, make up the list. The last named is one of the grandest looking horses in California and has not been raced for three years but will lower his mark if he gets in Bhape to start. This race should draw a big attendance, as trotters that can race around 2:10 are an attraction that the Los Angeles people will not miss. Take it all in all, tbe six days program which the Los Angeles associa- tion has filled is one of the best that has been seen on this Coast for some time. a horseman who saw her "she was hell." She did not seem to be afraid of anything, but would neither walk, trot or canter with any regularity. At times she would lunge forward suddenly as if she wanted to run away and it is doubtful if any man but Budd Doble would have exercised the extreme patience with her which he displayed. But Doble can wait as long as anyone and gradually the mare began to learn and like his ways with her, and her nerves bothered her less, until now she will jog on the track or on the road in a most decorous and respectable manner. During all the time she has been in California she has taken on flesh. At first she got from twelve to twenty miles of road jugging daily, nearly always along a different route than the previous one, and she seemed to enjoy the work. She will weigh very close to nine hundred pounds when she reaches Cleveland. Her races with Major Delmar, which it is said Mr. Billings has arranged, should furnish contests that will be of ex- ceeding interest. That she can beat the Major when both are at their best there is little doubt, and if they ever meet in that shape there should be a race record of very close to two minutes for her. Miss Lou Dillon, the champion trotter of the world, will return to her home in Cleveland next week, her private car probably leaving San Jose on Wednesday. She has been taking a post graduate course in man- ners at Prof. Doble 's speed college during the winter, and while she waB not inclined to real good behavior when she first entered upon it, she leaves her native State with a report card which shows her deportment to have been excellent during the latter end of the term, and that she is worthy of being presented with one of those pretty china cups on which is the label in gilt letters, "For a Good Girl." The first question one is asked on a return from a visit to San Jose track is, "Do you think Lou Dillon will be able to lower her record this year?" When the question is put direct to one, the first Inclination is to side step and make a lot of provisos before answering. To be perfectly candid, I do not expect the daughter of Sidney Dillon to beat 1:5"*, but I do believe she will be able to pull a sulky a mile in two mioutes without the aid of a wind shield and that will be asking enough of her. There lt> a limit to the endurance of every animal and every machine. Every swift passenger engine makes its record run, and is unable to quite equal it thereafter. If Lou Dillon had not been so many record breaking miles during the past two years, I might have faith in her trotting a mile thU season In 1:57, which many well posted and reasonable horsemen believe she will do, but when I think of the tremendous demands on her powers that have already been made and to which she bas responded with all the energy and vim and nervous force thai alu- could display, 1 am unable to figure ho» she can have any further resources to draw on. I ie could have drawn a sulky in two minutes without a wind shield in front on more than one occasion and probably have beaten that time a second, but that she should be expected to trot a mile better than l:f>8J seems la one to bo asking too much of the gamest and greatest llttlo trotter that evor set foot on a track. Lou Dillon Is the queen and will reign for many a day, but I believe Bho bas "touched the highest point In all her greatnesB." bred horses, whether he breeds one mare a year or a hundred, who does not possess a copy of this work, is cheating himself. There is more to be learned in the study of its pages than in any work of it6 descript:on that has been published in this country. The last time I saw Capt. Merry, which was about a year ago, he looked as rugged and as clear complexioned as a farmer's boy, and he is a living witness to the falsity of the Osier theory that men of sixty are beyond the age of usefulness. I don't know just how old the Captain is, but I have passed the half century mark and he was judging races and running steamboats in California before I first saw the light of day near old Sutter's Fort in Sacramento county. Captain, "here's to your helt' und your family's helt', und may you lif * long und prosper." H. Two fillies bred in California are eligible to start in the famous Kentucky $20,000 Futurity in September this year. Both were bred and are owned by Mr. W. H. Lumsden of Santa Rosa and are by Bonnie Direct 2:05}, a stallion whose stud duties have been limited and the eldest of whose get are three years old. Mr. Lumsden bred two mares to Bonnie Direct in 1902 — Myrtle 2:13} by Anteeo, out of Luella by Nutwood, and Roblet 2:12 by Robin, out of Eveline by Nutwood. Myrtle was bred by the late I. DeTurk and was a great three-year-old herself, winning the Occident Stake of 1891 in straight heats from the heavily backed favorite Vid a Wilkes and taking a record of 2:19}. She started four times as a four-year-old but failed to win a heat, and was then off the turf until 1S99, when she was brought out and reduced her record to 2:13} in the only race in which she started. She is the dam of Robizola 2:12} that took her record at Columbus, Ohio, in 1903, and will be raced in California this year. Myrtle's filly by Bonnie Direct is called Bonnie Mac and will start in the trotting division of the Futurity. She is a speed marvel and during the first week in April this year trotted a mile out in 2:22} with the last half in 1:05} and the laBt quarter in 32} seconds. Bonalet is the name given Roblet's filly and as she is a pacer will startin thepacing division of the Futurity. Roblet 2:12 was by Robin a grandson of Director 2:17, so Bonalet has two cresses to that famous race horse. Mr. Lumsden has decided to place these fillies in charge of the well known reinsman Ed Benyon of Lexington, who received them two weeks ago, and who will train and drive them in the races in which they start this year. They are the only California bred youngsters eligible to this year's Futurity and we sincerely hope they may meet with no accidents or other obstacles to starting in their best form. If they start, some of the money will be drawn down by Mr. Lumsden, a gentleman whose breeding ventures, while not conducted on a large scale have always been on the plan that it pays to breed to the best. May success be his. The fact that the grandams of both these fillies are great broodmares by Nutwood 600 brings to mind the wonderful prepotency of that horse as a sire of dams. His sojourn was not long in California yet he left thirteen or fourteen daughters here that are now members of the Table of Great Broodmares, and the list of those that have produced one standard per- former is quite long. Nearly all the daughters of Nutwood remaining in this State are getting along in yearB, but they retain their vigor and usefulness to the last, and age 6ets lightly upon their shoulders. Luella is twenty-four years old but produced a fine foal this year. It is a trait of nearly all great speed producing families that the daughters especially are long lived and produce foals at an advanced age. The improvements that Mr. Doble has made in her manners are very noticeable. When he began jogging >!■ r 'm I iie roads last winter, to use the expression ol Thursday morning's papers brought the news that the English Derby, the blue ribbon event of the turf world, was won by Cicero with Jardy second, just as Capt. Tom Morry (Hidalgo) prophesied in last week's issue of this paper. Capt. Tom is the best posted man in America today on the thoroughbred horse, as his knowledge Is not confined to those bred in America or England, but takes in the whole world, He has visited the greatest breeding farms and race courses in America, Australasia, England, France and Germany andean tell you off band the breeding of every sire or broodmare of any prominence In any of those countries. His article in which he selected Cicero to win gave reasons for his opinion and the result shows they were sound. Capt. Merry has recently published a work entitled "The American Thoroughbred," to he devoted several years of hard work. It is by far tho best thing of tbe kind that has emanated from the press In years, and the breeder of thorough- Races at Ingleside. A crowd of nearly two thousand people visited Ingleside race track on Tuesday afternoon, May 30lh, to see the program of races advertised by the San Francisco Driving Club. There were five harness events and three running races on the eard, which were not finished until seven o'clock. There was little class to any of the events, and tbe track was in very poor shape For the space of about three sulky widths next the pole, the grass had been cut, but tbe footing was very poor for pacers as the sand was loose and about two inches deep on the surface. Nearly all the starters in the harness races were pacers. The best horse of the day in any of these events was the pacer King V. by Steinway, winner (pulled up in both heats) of the free-for-all. His two heats were in 2:21} and 2:22 but the "official" time given out was 2:24} and 2:24J Three books were doing business and were fairly well patronized. In the race to determine who could drive inthetime nearest to 3:15, H. Simi won the first heat in 3:17 with San Pietro, and L. Marish the second with Brandy in 3:17. The results of the other harness races as announced by the judges and timers wereasfollows: Free-for-all. J. O'Kane'sKing V. (p) 1 I E. Cerciat's King Cadenza 2 s K. Adams' Lady Jeffries 3 2 F.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — Dear Sir: In the last number of the BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN I read an article from Mr. Samuel Gamble relating to the stallion Niagara. I think perhapB I can give you some information in regard to it. In the year 1863 I waB connected with the late Roe Allen in the livery stable on the corner of Market and Annie streets in San Francisco, and during that year Hiram Tracy brought a brown stallion from Stockton, owned by Mr. Henry Tremble, and stabled with us by the name of Washtenaw Chief sired by Mambrino. He was sold to John Daniels who purchased him for the late Alex Gamble of Woodside, now Menlo Park, at th.e reputed price of $5000. The Stark mare was purchased by William Stark out of a four horse team at San Jose, and trained by him and thought to be a world-beater. At one time Bhe was hypothecated to the late Smith Brown of Napa but was afterwards redeemed by Stark who took her East and sold her to a Mr. Hoag of Glenn Falls, N. Y. Geo. Bement. Davisville Has a Driving Club. The contractor who is grading the new track at Olive Park, Davisville, will finish the work this week, and horses will soon be racing over it. Last week a Driving Club was organized, to talk over the manage- ment of the new grounds, Mr. I. B. HugheB, the lessee of the property and builder of the track, agree- ing to sublease it to the club for a term of five years- A oommittee consisting of Fred P. Smith, Sam Mont- gomery, Del Grieve, I. B. Hughes and J. A. Harby were appointed to draft rules and regulations for the government of the club. June 3, 1905 1 ©he gvee&zv cmt> Qyvvtsman LOS ANGELES ENTRIES.

The great broodmare Ellen M., dam of Fanny Dil- lard 2:0)} and Hal B. 2:04}, has foaled a sister to those good pacers at Litchfield, O., where she is owned by Geo. Stettenfield. The Diablo pacer Pacific King worked a mile in 2:20 with a quarter in 31 seconds at the Cleveland track last week. He is in Vance Nuckols' string and is con- sidered a very promising green horse. The pacing mare Florence Nightingale 2:15}, in training at Cadiz, O., is known as the "home mission- ary" mare because her owner, ex-Senator G. W. Glover, gives a per cent of her winnings to the Pres- byterian missions. The black pacing mare Little Squaw 2:04} is being trained at the trot this spring at Sedalia, Mo., and will be raced in the slow classes in the West. Reports from Lexington say that Peter Stirling 2:11} has gone wrong and has been thrown out of training. The famous Futurity winner has probably trotted his last race. Bert Shank will go down the Grand Circuit this year with the Forest City string, which includes Caspian 2:07}, Norrie 2:10, Cretonnes 2:13} and the fast young trotter Del Toro. N. W. Hubinger, for several years known as one of the biggest bettors down the big line, is extensively staking his green pacer Zip by Direct 2:05} out of Sphinxetta 2:08} by Sphnix. At the Daugherty sale in Wabash, Ind., last week, the good race horse and sire, Coast man 2:08}, was sold to Dr. W. B. Wallace of Marion, Ind., for $1475. Coastman is still a young horse and has twenty-five standard porformers to his credit, including Major C. 2:04 and Bad News 2:08}. W. L. Snow has decided not to take his stable to Cleveland as he had intended, but will go to Syracuse where he will stay uutil July 1st, going thence to Cleveland. Fifty-eight new stalls are being built at Granite State Park, Dover, N. H. When completed the grounds will have an equipment of some over 275 first- class stalls. One of the largest horse sale firms in New York City sold 2000 more horses during the first three months of 1905 than it did during the corresponding months of 1904. Dick McMabon haB the pacers Shylock 2:08}, Citation 2:09}, Black Grattan 2:14} and the trotters Calcine 2:12} and Roscoe Medium 2:13} in the stable at Libertyvllle, 111- The grand old pacing mare Hetty G. 2:04} is said to be in great shape this spring and Tommy Murphy is preparing her to win some of the free-for-alls on the Eastern half-mile tracks. Ed Benyon thinks Dan R. 2:01} can beat any pacer in the world with the exception of Dan Patch and has been making an effort to match him with some of the good sidewbeelers over East. Dan R. i- working better than ever this epriu:/ fastest mile at Memphis is 2:17. 6 mie gveebev cn& &povt&xna%\ [June 3, 1906 Entries for the Fresno meeting close Thursday, June I The State Fair program will be ready for publi- cation next week. Many new oauies, both of owners.and horses, appear in the Los Angeles entry list. Dan McCarty has entered his horses at Los Angeks and his entries have been accepted: You can visit the Lewi> & Clark Fair at a cost of ?-."> for the round trip. See advertisement. Several contracts for aex buildings were let by the Directors of the State Agricultural Society yesterday. Sam Casto is training ten head of trotters and pacers at Salem, Oregon. Ee has a Zombro colt that is oil in the can. Geo. Beckers will take his great stallion Zombro 2:11 to Oregon where he will place him in the stud during the summer. Matinee racing by the new SaD Jose Driving Club will be held at Agricultural Park in that city next Saturday, June 10th. Bain, the chestnut gelding in Mr. de la Montanya's string, has been shifted to the pace and is being entered in races on the California circuit. The latest and best thing for the hoof of the horse is the I X. L. Hoof Moisture Pad. It makes good feet of bad ones. Read about it in our advertising columns. The stallion season generally clotes June 1st in California but so many mares dropped late foals this year that a large number of stallions will remain in the stud until July 1st. Grey Gem 2:09} and trainer Billy McDonald are back io harness again after being under the ban for a year. Grey Gem has worked in 2:20 at Louisville and McDonald thinks he is a 2:0S trotter. Geo. E, Lattimer, of Buffalo, will send Topsy 2:09} and a younster by Zombro 2:11 to Melville Allen to train. Allen is the young reinsman who had such success with Anidrosis 2:05} last summer. The pacing gelding Frank Yoakum 2:055- by Parker will be raced this season by Charles Longbotham, Berwyn, Pa., who also has Harry L. 2:11 J, Rockport 2:11), Monte Bayard 2:13} and Newsboy 2:11}. Joe Cuicello is located at Santa Rosa track with his string of horses. The Zombro mare Mabel W., which he recently purchased in Los Angeles, is much liked by the Santa Rosa horsemen who have seen her at work. P..W. Hodges has taken hishorses to San Jose and will go East by way of Los Angeles where he has entered Lady Zombro in the $1000 2:17 trot. From Los Angeles he expects to ship to Denver, and thence to Detroit. The Lob Angeles Harness Horso Association will retain all privileges at its meeting. The auction and mutual pools will be under the direct management of the association's officials, and Ed R. Smith will act as auctioneer. F. J. Cochran, the scientific borseshoer of San Mateo, who has shod ten horses that have taken records better than 2:10 with his 6hoes on, went down to San Jose last week and shod Lou Dillon 1:58J for Budd Doble. PreBB reports state that Sweet Marie 2:04:} and Tiv- erton 2:04} bavo been matched for a race during the Grand Circuit meeting at Detroit. This will undoubt- edly be tbo star feature of the meeting and should prove a groat race.

HIb best work at M this year Is a mile In 2:141 wilh a ij" ' seconds. The well-known horseman Henry Eok of Clevo'and was killed In a runaway near his home last week. Mr. Eck was best known as a breeder and dealer in heavy horses, but has raced rotters Including Arch W. 2:11} and Bellmetul 2:10}. The veteran Chas. Marvin bae a big stable in train- ing at Lexington and among the p'Omising ones In the list are: Bird Cull (2)2:29J by Parole 2:16, flam Delia Bird 2:22} by Bernal; Cbllde Rowland (2) 2:29J by Sphljx, dam Vee See 2:25 by Fairy Gift: Crestlawn, i-xar-old by Oratorio 2:13, dam by Dictator; a r-old by Ad bell 2:23, dam by Ashland Wilkes; Li-old colt by Red Arthur 2:14} out of Captor 2:09}. The Los Angeles entries average about eleven to each race, which is a good showing for a six days meeting with a total of eighteen races. The Breeders August meeting r. ceived an average of about fourteen to each race exclusive of colt stakes. Maid of Del Norte, a filly owned by Mr.C. A. Harri- son, proprietor of the Hotel Driard at Victoria, won the opening trot at the Hastings Park meeting of the Vancouver Jockey Club last Saturday. Maid of Del Norte won in straight heats, time 2:35 and 2:33. Charley Mabrey has shipped from Memphis to Indianapolis with the string of youngsters belonging to Sterling R. Holt, owner of Sidney Dillon. He has a lot of good colts by Rex Americus 2:13} and a- green trotter by Alliewood 2:09} that is said to be pretty slick goods. . Dan Patch 1:56 has been engaged by the Allentown, Pa., Association to go against the half mile track pacing record, his own 2:03}, duiiDg the week of the Great Allentown Fair, the week of September 19 to 22. The four $1000 early closing events offered by the association filled splendidly, there being a total of 92 nominations Forest City Farm, Randall, O., has sent one of the best mares in its paddocks to be bred to Sidney Dillon, 6ire of Lou Dillon 1:58}, etc., the one selected being Parthia 2:16}, bv Patron 2:14} dam Watersprite, dam of Parthia 2:16}; Patrice 2:17|; Barletta 2:26}, and Mars 2:28}, by Belmont, second dam the famous old Waterwitcb, by Pilot, Jr. M. D. 'Wisdom, editor of the Nortk Pr/cific Rural Spirit, devotes several pages of the last issue of his journal to California horse and cattle news. Mr. Wisdom is Superintendent of the Live Stock Exhibit ol the Lewis & Clark Cectennial Exposition, and has secured the promise of many exhibits from California breeders during his vi6it to this State. Shorthorns are the most popular cattle and have been for many years. They are the cattle for profit. Registered cattle of beef or milking families are for sale by the Howard Cattle Company, 206 Sansome street, this city. Write to them about what you want. Their cattle have taken 77 premiums at the California State Fairs during the past three years. The failure of the Oregon State Fair to bold a meeting this year has caused several California trainers who contemplated making the northern trip to reconsider. The circuit up there does not look very good with the Oregon fair off the map. Some day a Pacific Coast circuit will be organized that will extend from Los Angeles to Seattle, and it will be a winner. In answer to a phone from this office Mr. Alex Brown, proprietor of the Woodland Stock Farm, says alfirst class meeting will be given at Woodland prior to the State Fair, and the program will be announced very soon. If there are meetings at Woodland, Santa Rosa and San Jose, the California circuit will not be less than six weeks, with good purses at each and every meeting. One or two race wagons made their appearance at the Los Angeles Driving Club's last meeting. Sulkies have heretofore been used by members of this ex- cellent organization, but a club of its standing should require that four wheeled vehicles be used in all matinee racing. The Eastern clubs require them and it should be the custom at Los Angeles which has the only strictly amateur racing on this Coast. Zambra 2:16}, holder of the world's five mile trot- ting record, is to be raced again this year. Zambra is owned by Mr. A. Ottinger of this city and is being trained by H. R. Ward at San Jose. Mr. Ward has the gelding in fine condition and with the pacer Daedalion 2:10, also owned by Mr. Ottinger, he will get a piece of the money hung up at the different meetings. They will both start at Los Angeles bar- ring accidents. Walter Cox and Jack Kinney, training at Boston, have matched a couple of young trotters in a very novel fashion. Every Monday morning each trainer puts up $10, this to continue until one of them quits and then the race will be trotted at once. Cox is backinga two-year old by Axworthy 2:151 and Kinrey is pinning his faith to a youngster by Belsire. The winner of the pot won't have to eat snowballs next winter if they keep "edging up" until about October. The fastest full mile trotted at Lexington so far is credited to the stable of Mike Bowerman, and was scored in 2:17} by the three-year-old brown colt by Adbell 2:23, dam Sierra Madre by Baron Wilkes 2:18. This colt, it Is said, is a Kentucky Futurity candidate, and Is owned by John E. Madden. Wakonda 2:25 by John B. Carlisle, in George Hay's stable, claims "second call" for the beBtmile worked so far, he hav- ing trotted a mile in 2:21} with the last quarter In 33 seconds. RltaH. 2:11} pacing and 2:14} trotting, is being entered in the pBClng events this year, and will race through the California circuit. She was 6old three years ago to Mr. Byron Erkenbecher of Los Angeles, by Sam Hoy of Winters, who bred her. Mr. Erken- brecher turned her over to Will Durfee who gave her a mark of 2:11}. won several thousand dollars with her as a pacer In 1903 and then Bwitcbed her to the diagonal gait In 1904, winning nearly as much with heras the previou9 year and giving her a trotting record or 2:14). As the mare's natural gait seems to bo the pace she has been re-converted this season and will be Been In the fast classes all through the circuit. J. W. Miller of Colorado Springs, Colo., has a very promising trotter in Queer Knight 2:14}. This horse was raced through the Great Western Ciicuit last year. He is considered one of the most premising trotters in the West and horsemen of note credit him with the possession of sufficient speed to make a record of 2:04 or better this season. Queer Knight will pull a Toomey low seat sulky in bis races tbis year, which has been built especially for bim by S. Tocmey & Co;, Canal Dover, Qhio. A Contra Costa county paper prints the following unique advertisement: "For sale, a long distance team, nice for park, buggy or delivery wagon, brown mares, sisters, solid colors, velvet nose, silken ears. Almond eyes, sound stomach, five and six years. Driven through crowded Market street, in San Fran- cisco. Can be tried before paying. If you don't like them, don't take them. Never would sell team if owner had wife or girl that would drive out every day and give them exercise." W. O. Foote has the usual strong stable at Dallas, Texas. Among his best are Gov. McCauly 2:14}; Eddie O, the pacer that was second in 2:07} last cam paign; Commodore Strong by Gov. Strong 2:10}, that was second as a three-year-old in 2:14}. and Rilma Strong by Gov. Strong, dam Rilma 2:09J, that can trot a 2:10 shot. now. Others in the Foote string are a brown colt by Arion 2:07J that trotted a half in 1:13} last fall as a yearling, Commodore Buford by Norca- tur, a faBt trotter, and several colts by Gov. Strong. W. L. Snow has just moved to Syracuse with one of the best strings he ever trained and should make a great showiDg this year. Among the fast ones in bis care are: Laconda 2:03J, Black Hal 2:05}, Gordon Prince 2:05}, Riley B. 2:06}, Millard Saunders 2:11}. Hazel Banks 2:14}, Red Line 2*14}, Queen of Spad*-s 2:14}, Morning Star 2:14}, John Tiernev 2:17}, Dorris B. 2:18}, Edna Ross 2:18}, Hal T. 2:19}, Coupon by The Bondsman, Gen. Delmar by Delmar, Corvette by Direct, out of Raven 2:10 and the green trotter Maud Maxine, for which Mr. A. H. Miller paid $5000. News comes from Riverside that R. M. Cook is the proud possessor of a fine bay colt foaled May 8tb, by On Stanley 2:17}, dam Emaline 2:27} by Electioneer. Emaline, although 21 years old is as active and healthy as she was at five and has quite a reputation as a broodmare. She is the dam of a colt by Zolock that was sold for $1950 at eighteen months, and a tbree- year-old by Monbells that will be seen in the Breeders Futurity tbis year. Emaline is the dam of Sportly 2:29J Her dam Emma Robson thoroughbred mare by Woodburn is the dam of four trotters with stand- ard records, Dan Leiginger, of the Sawyer House, is handling a half dozen horses, some owned by himself and some by other parties. He is developing them on the park roads. The pride of the stable is a black yearling colt that he has named Tommy Murphy, after the well known expert borseshoer of this city. This colt is by Monterey 2:09}, dam Honor by Fordstan, son of Electioneer. He trotted a 3:20 gait the third time be overbad harness on. He is a fine looker and one of the best ever. A six-year-old McKioney, out cf an own sister to Nance O'Neil 2:09}, is also a trotter and a good one. He is called Prince Mac. One ( f the most promising pacers in tbis city is a gelding called Tehama Boy by Steve Whipple 2:12, dam by Dexter Prince, second dam Di Vernon by Joe Daniels. A green mare by Charles Derby that is an own sister to Uncle John is pacing nicely and will be raced next year probably. Erosmont 2:22} is also a member of this string.

There have been several causes at work during the pi9t few years which undoubtedly have had a tendency to retard progress In the improvement of trotting speed. The chief of these was an erroneous theory conceived some 30 years ago by the late John H. Wallace, one of the most able and forcible of the many who have ever written upon the subject of breeding trotters. This theory is that all thoroughbred crosses are detrimental to trotting speed. When Mr. Wallace published the second volume of his Trotting Register in 1874, he made the following statement on page 88 concerning a thoroughbred cross. "Many trotters, especially of Canadian and pacing origin have a great turn of speed but lack either the courage or conformation to keep it up. This must be corrected by a more or le6s correct cross from a thoroughbred that is dead game and least likely to neutralize the trotting instinct." As early as February 1879 Mr. Wallace announced that the thoroughbred could not Impart to the trotter any element that ivould add to the speed, endurance or other racing-winning qualities of the trotter. He soon went a step farther and ridiculed the idea of trying to improve the speed ability of a trotter by introducing the cross of an animal that was not bred to trot and can't trot fast. This seemed so plausible to the average of thinkers who seldom go below the surface and from effect try to reason hack to actual cause, that the author of this theory soon had a large following and a majority of the writers for turf papers favored the theory. Breeders of trotting stock saw that a theory which was so universally advocated must become popular and as they were breeding to sell, rather than to improve the speed ability of their animals, the majority ot them followed Mr. Wallace's theory of breeding. When this theory of a thoroughbred cross being detrimental to trotting speed was conceived, the world's champion trotter was Rarus 2:13J Jay-Eye- See soon reduced it to 2:10 and then came Maud S. that first placed it at 2:09| and finally lelt it at 2:08$. Both were from mares whose dams were strictly thoroughbred, hut the majority of breeders had so much confidence in Mr. Wallace's plausible theory that they paid little attention to the fact that the thoroughbred cross was so close in their dams, or perhaps believed that had these near thoroughbred crosses been trotting crosses these world-record breakers would have taken even faster records than they did make. We believe that the above theory and the extent to which it has prevailed has been the greatest of all the hindrances to progress in trotting speed. Another cause which has undoubtedly had considerable in- fluence in retarding progress is the effort which many breeders have made to produce stock eligible to registry in the standard department of the American Trotting Register. In their anxiety to breed in ac- cordance with the stand ard rules many have neglected such important qualities as good conformation, fine style, high finish, pleasant dispositions, a clean, friclionless gait, soundness and others that give value to horses. Furthermore, the present standard rules of the American Trotting Association as has heretofore been pointed o.ut, discourage breeding in those lines wbich In the past have produced most of the famous world's record breakers, or the sires or dams of such, the majority of which have shown a near thoroughbred cross in their pedigrees. Opinions differ in regard to the influence of a near thoroughbred cross, but it is found in the pedigrees of Jay-Eye-See 2:10, Maud S. 2:08|, Sunol 2:08J, Alix 2:03J, The Abbott 2:031 and Lou Dillon 1:58}. Another of the causes which is a great hindrance to progress is a lack of systematic methods in breeding, or a failure to continue such for a sufficient length of time to fix a type or even to produce the best results- It is a lamentable fact that when the most progressive and successful breeders of trotting stock of the paBt have died they have left no one who has taken up and carried forward the work on ihe same systematic lines that they followed and by which they attained success. The late Dr. A. S Talbert of Lexington, Ky., was one of the most progressive breders in that State in his day. He died several years ago and his stock was dispersed. Gov, Stanford, the founder of Palo Alto establishment, was undoubtedly the most progressive breeder of trotting stock that America has ever pro. duced, and bred more trotters of all ages that have held world's records than any other man. His Ideas of the improvement of trotting speed, or the method to be employed to accomplish that end were in har- mony with those of Dr. Talbert. When Gov. Stan, ford d.ed he left no one to carry forward the work that he had begun so well. The Palo Alto stook was dispersed. The same is true in a measure of the renowned Village Farm, where a greater number of 2:10 per- formers have been bred than on any other establish- ment. The proprietors of Ideal Stock Farm, East Aurora, N. Y., are in a position to reap the fruits of the late Mr- Hamlin's experience. They havesome of the choicest of Village Farm products and the same able superintendent to which Village Farm waslargely indebted for its success, hence are fully equipped to continue the work In the same systematic manner and on the same lines that it was conducted by the founder of Village Farm. Much of the progress that has been made in the past in the improvement of speed has been the result of accidental rather thah systematic breeding. If an establishment could ba founded for breeding trotters with a view of the improvement in extreme speed, on a similar basis as that by the Government for the establishment of a breed of fine carriage horses, much good might result from it, as the system of breeding determined upon at the start might be continued uninterruptedly for many years, if not by the same individuals by others who would carry out the plans of the founders of the establishment. It is not prob- able however that it will ever be done in this country. — American Horse Breeder. The Orloff-American Trotter. Two Brothers to Cresceus are Pacers. Now that the racing season in Russia is over it is evident that, despite the war, it was an interesting one, particularly so to those Russian breeders who have for a considerable number of years advocated thecroBsing of the Orloff, the trotter of Russia, with the American-bred ttotter. The showing that these half bred trotters made during the past season has more than surpassed the expectations of the advocates of this cross. Not only have the Orloff-American trotterB defeated the pure bred Orloffs in a majority of the races, but they have also been successful in defeating the American-bred trotter, a large number of the latter having been purchased by the Russians, who, of course, race them extensively before retiring them to the stud. The Orloff-American trotters were not only successful in the actual contests but they also reduced the records. The feat of establishing a new record on the ice of 2:14 was noted in this paper at the time. It also appears that the Orloff-American trotter Iris set a new Russian mark for two miles. Pulling two hundred and fifty-eight pounds this trot- ter went the first mile in 2:17 and the second in 2:19J, making the time for the two miles 4:36| This was a reduction of four ahd a half seconds, as the best Russian previous time for the distance waB 4:41J, a record established by the American-bred trotting stallion Baron Rogers which raced to a record of 2:09f in this country. Many American breeders will con- sider N. K. Feodossiefl, secretary cf the Imperial Trot- ting Club of Moscow, over-enthusiastic in his state- ment in regard to the Orloff-American cross when he says that breed cannot only beat the best Orloffs but the best American trotters as well. Americans will be loth to believe that any combination of trotting blood capable of producing trotters better than the best American trotters. The Russian exponent of breeding can point to the fact, however, the Cresceus' record to ice was reduced by an Orloff-American under circumstances less favorable than those which obtained when Cresceus trotted his mile. It is grati- fying to the American breeder to know that American trotting blood is appreciated in Russia and in view of the remarkable success obtained by the half-bred trotters the past winter it would not be out of order for some of our wealthy breeders to import some high-class Orloff mares from Russia. If this should be decided on by any American the conditions under which these results have obtained in Russia should be observed. The Russian breeders not only selected well bred stallions and mares in this country but ones which had been raced successfully. More than that these horses were raced on the Russian tracks before being bred. It will not do for an American breeder to import some young and well bred Orloffs, which have never been trained or raced. The Russians did not do that. If the experiment is to be made it should be with aged mares which have been raced successfully in that country. Let the American experiment be on a par with those of the Russian. — Chicago Horseman. « That Everyday Surprise. Everyday, somehow, somewhere some horseman invests (lor the first time In his life) two of his hard earned slmoleons In a bottle of Absorbine. He buys It against his own judgment for he Is sure It Is ODly another or those' patent fakes." He uses It according to directions, oursing himself for a fool under his breath every time he steams and rubs and bandages, but at heart he Is a square fellow and wants lo give ihe stuff a fair trial. And lol he discov- ers to his great amazement that the stuff Is taking effect; that lhere Is less Inflammation, less soreness. Ihe horse Is going better; the Duff, or bunoh, orswelllng Is going down, and when he Is thor- oughly convinced hg sits down and wriies us ale ter like what follows, and P. D.

Absorblne $2 per bottle, express prepaid. Address W. F. YOTJNG, P. D F., Springfield, Mass. Eddie Mitchell, who used to be caretaker with Cresceus, but is now training a stable of trotters and pacers in Eogland for Walter Winans, writes to a friend in Chicago that The Hangman, a full brother to Cresceus, that was shipped abroad last year as a trotter, has been shifted to the pace and can fairly fly at the latter gait. This makes the second brother of Cresceus to come out as a pacer, the other being Foxy Quiller, owned in Colorado, that was deemed good enough to be named in the Chamber of Com- merce Stake last ye. r. Having seen Foxy Quiller in a number of races I should judge bim good for a mile in 2:10 with everything favorable, although his record is but 2:25, he not having won a heat last season. That the champion trotting stallion should have two pacing brothers is not 60 strange as it would seem at first thought. Horsemen that are observant know that about half the trotting bred horses are double gaited, and the first trotter to take a record of 2:10 went to pacinglater in life and was marked in 2:06J. Trotting stallions get pacers i nd pacing stal- lions get trotters in a manner that puzzIeB the men that are trying to breed harness horses.. Blue Bull, a pacing bred pacer, was a wonderful sire of trotters and at one time stood at the head of the list as a he- getter of 2:30 speed at that gait. On the other hand, Dan Patch, king of pacers, >8 trotting bred, and so is the fastest pacing mare, Dariel. McKinney, premier trotting sire of to day, himself a trotter with a record of 2:1] J by Alcyone 2:27, son of George Wilkes 2:22, all trotting records — achieved his first fame as sire of the pacer Coney 2:02, while now all the talk is of his trotting daughter, Sweet Marie 2:04|. Almost any trotting bred horse can be made to pace by a little study as to how he shall be shod and the adjustment of the check rein, but as trotters are more salable and at better prices than pacers the effects of trainers are mostly directed to making the double gaited horses trot instead of pace. Breeders do not care to have it 6aid that their stal- lions sire a large percentage of pacers, and the effortB of the farm trainers are all in the direction of making every colt trot whether he wants to or not. The late Senator Stanford, owner of Electioneer, would not have a pacer on the place, and his instructions to the trainers were to make the coltstrot or run — he wanted no pacers. This is the principal reason why Elec- tianeer sired (apparently) so few pacers. His sons are getting plenty of them, but when a colt by the old horse was a pacer they made a trotter of it a Palo Alto, no matter if it was a four minute trotter and a two minute pacer. — Henry T. White. New Club at Marysville. The Yuba and Sutter Driving Club was organized last week at Marysville with 65 names on the member- ship roll. The officers elected were as follows: Presi- dent, E. P. McDaniel; Vice-President, William Leech; Treasurer, J. W. Steward; Secretary, R R. Raish. The Directors elected were Charles Raish, M. F. Gomez and John Giblin, in addition to the other officers named. R. R. Raisb, Dennis Coughlin and W. L. Vance were appointed to draft by-laws. The membership fee was fixed at $1 per month. It is stated that the club will take charge of the race track property and will encourage the breeding of fast stock, hold race meetings regularly and other- wise work for the interests of horsemen. There is an excellent track at Marysville and many good meetings have been held there in the past. Since the death, several years ago of the lamented horse breeder, Mr. D. E. Knight, of Marysville, who owned the track property and financed several meetings there, Marysville has not been very prominent in racing affairs, but the interest in breeding and racing has revived recently and we are pleased to record the organization of this new club. Saddle Races. The examples set by the Cleveland Driving Club in the purchase of ten head of horses to be used for saddle races, is an example that might well be emu- lated by other amateur driving clubs. There is no question that it will stimulate a lot of interest in the sport. The plan adopted for the purchase of these saddle horses was for ten members to subscribe $300 each, making a fund of $3000 in all. When the horses arrived they were drawn by lot, and each subscriber has one horse to ride in the races. The drawing took place at the annual meeting, which was recently held, and at which all of the old officers were re-elected for the ensuing year, including the popular president, H. K.

The second annual tournament of the Pacific Coast Trap Shooters Association for three days at the Ingleside grounds waB successfully conducted and well attended. On the first day 111 shooters partici- pated, seventy-seven the second day and eighty-nine on the third day, nearly all of whom shot through the program each day. The weather on Sunday was cloudy and cold, mak- ing it difficult for a shooter to find targets as they were thrown from the bulkheads. Monday the weather was pleasant and shooting conditions were muoh better. On Tuesday afternoon, wind and chilly condition of the atmosphere prevailed. About 40,000 targets were used during the shoot, In all of the regular events the Sergeaut Bystem was in vogue. Sliding distance handicaps were imposed on the shooters— from 14 to 20 yards. But two straights, by E. Klevesahl and L. Hawxhurst, were made at the latter distance, Bungay, Hesse, Ashlin each made a tendance of comparatively new beginners, and a num- ber of them are most promising shots too On Tuesday evening the association held a meeting and elected the following officers: Dr. C. E. Turner of Vallejo, President; D. Daniels, Vice-President, George W. Lewis, Secretary; Edgar L. Forster, Manager. After the meeting Dr. George presided at a smoker during which the prizes were presented to the winners. T. L. Lewis fired the opening shot of the tourna- ment and Otto Peudner fired the closing shot on Tuesday. A summary of scores in the regular, team and trophy events follows: • Dr. W. S.

The distance handicap has been unfavorably commented upon by a number of shooters. Edgar L. Porster managed the shoot to the satisfac- tion of everybody on the grounds. Thos. L. Lewis, D. Daniels and H T Hoyt, the tournament committee, looked after the visitors and acquitted themselves of their many duties most creditably. The office was in charge of H. P. Jacobsen and George W. Lewis. Dr. W. S. George of Antiooh was present throughout the shoot and is to be congratulated on the general success and conduct of the shoot. The visiting sportsmen from other points were largely io evidence. The largest representation was from Vallejo. The Vallejoites are a jolly crowd of sportsmen and all good shots. The third association annual shoot will be held in Vallejo next May and It is safe to say that visiting shooters will receive a hearty welcome. W. J. Golcher won two cups, the Du Pont trophy and another. J. W. Bradrick won both the Bekeart challenge cup and the Mullerite trophy. R. C. Reed made a game win in the L.C.Smith event. M. O. Feudner won the Dr. George cup In the last race of the meeting. The average of scores throughout was excellent. A few of the old time eracks were not up to their usual form.

The sliding distaoce handicap was arranged as fol- lows- The first 3 events on Sunday were at 16 yards, the next three races at different handicaps according to the averages shot. The first 3 races of the second day were based on the averages made in the previous afternoon's 3 races. The last 3 events were handi- capped from results made on 60 targets in the morn- ing. Tuesday's first 60 targets were handicapped on the results of the previous afternoon and the final 3 regular events received a handicap from the morning shoot at 60 targets. The handicap averages arc noted above. In the tabulation of scores the results and handicaps, for both sections of 60 targets, are given above with the totals for shooters who shot through all the regular events ♦ Santa Clara Sportsmen Have an Outing. The second annual outing of the Santa Clara County Fish and Game Association took place on the asso- ciation grounds at the entrance to Alum Rock canyon, near San Jose, last Sunday, and was a grand success from start to finish. There were about five hundred sportsmen were in attendance and everybody had a splendid time. Many visitors from outside oounties were also present. The day was an ideal one for the meeting and the way th^ devotees of the trap tore holes in the clay birds showed that they had their shooting eje with them. The trap shooting commenced at 10 o'clock and lasted till late in the evening. There were about seventy-five shooters participating. Among those who stood out as shining lights of the day in the art of peppering the blue rocks were: Frank L. Carter, the Montana rifleman, Dr. A. M. Barker, Bill Cusb- ing, "Chic" Lion, Wayland, Rae Schilling, W. B. Hobson, Cottle, Cleln, E. M. Barnes and A. A. Brown, gentlemen averaged from 18 to 23 birds out of a possible 25 Cushing brone 10 out of 10 in a warm up shoot while Carter shattered 23 out of the 25 thrown. At noon the assembly of sportsmen sat down to a toothsome barbecue dinner. Dr. A. M Barker President of the association acted as toastmaster, among those who spoke on fish and game topics wereChas. T. Vogelsang, Hon. Chas. M. Shortridge, H. T. Payne, Chas. A. Reed, Walter Welsh and others. Mr. Thomas, Clerk of the State Senate, on behalf of tbu association presented Senator Shortridge with a gold match sale as a token of its appreciation of his tireless energy In assisting the passage of bills relating to fish and trame protection. hortrldge thanked the association for the present tbey had given him. He also, In a happy and humorous way, explained how bills are passed in the State Senate. A match case similar to the one presented to Mr. Shortridge i by Mr. Payne in behalf of Dr. C. W. Hibbard who was not able to be present. Shortly after noon Frank Carter, the crack Mon- tana rifle shot, gave an exhibition of bis skill with bis favorlto weapon. Washeis, about three Inches across and with boles In them three-quarters of an inch in diameter, which were covered with a strip of paper, were thrown in the air. With apparent ease the rifle- man sent :i2-calibor balls whizzing through the center of the wMber, or burled tbom whistling aeross the field. Using u 22, ho repeated the uet with smaller washers. Oranges were tossed high In the air, but tbey could not escape the unerring aim of the marks- man. Marbles the alio of birds' eggs suffered the same ifter another. rtainly a most wonderful shot and is I the honor given him. The Breeding of Bulldogs. My love for the national breed must be my excuse for an appeal on behalf of the modern Bulldog. For game time it has been apparent that grevious mistakes are being made by a numerous class of breeders, who appear to think that, by exagerating certain typical points at the expense (alas!) of others of equal or even greater importance, they will ensure the winning of honors in the show-ring and enhance the pecuniary value of their stock. To attain these objects, inju- dicious and persistent inbreeding has been resorted to, and this, while certainly successful in emphasizing the show points aimed at, has also led to the production of many cripples and deformities, deficient in activity, with' very delicate constitutions, impaired vital powers, and consequently a sadly shortened duration of life writes Mr. Hayes Redwar, member of the Bulldog Club and of the London Bulldog Society in the Illus- trated Kennel News. These things are not as they should be, and the evils resulting from this system of inbreeding are unfortunately only toolikely to increase with time, threatening eventually the very existence of this noble breed. It appears to me that the science of reproduction is but scantily understood by the mass of breeders. By reducing the number of ancestors in an animal's pedigree by in-brejding, we must, of necessity reduce the number of hereditary pecularities and therefore show points, and consequently in-bred stock will nearly always present an appearance of greater uni- formity as to points. As against this advantage we must set off the constant and very great danger of concentrating in in-bred stock all the hereditary weaknesses and constitutional taints present in tbeir closely-related ancestors In other words we are in- tensifying predisposition to disease. It is not, there- fore, only a question of activity, but of stamina, and there- is no doubt that sterility is on the increase among Bulldogs, while their delicacy is approximate to that of hot-house plants. There are also matters of training which militate against the activity and vigor of constitution of the Bulldog. With many ignorant fanciers it is almost an article of faith that exercise ruins Bulldogs, and one often sees specimens which remind one of Smith- field, while their exhibitors proudly point to their sausage bodies as "showing very little daylight under them." Cloddiness, lowness to the ground, width of front and shortness of back are all admirable points within certain limits, and characteristic of the breed, but when they are so exaggerated that a dog can only move with difficulty, and pants painfully with the l^ast extra exertion, these points develop into abaurd grotesques. The undershot jaw is also characteristic of the breed, but when so exaggerated that the dog can hardly get a hold of anything, one is inclined to ask is this the dog whose tenacity of grip has been immortalized by Lowell's lines: "... The mongrel's grasp may slip, But only crowbars loose the Bulldog's grip: S aunch to the death, the jaw that never yields, Drags down the bellowing monarch of the fields." I have heard a little crippled monstrosity described by his admirers as a "little marvel," and as I saw him hobble round the ring on his feeble little stumps of legs that looked as if they were made of gristle only, I wondered what would become of him if he got into a "scrap" in the street with an active Fox Terrier. I have dealt with activity and stamina, there is yet another question associated with breeding. What is to become of our short-backed bitches of the show sort? Their safety is seriously imperiled if we use them for breeding. Are we to have two kinds of bitches, some fcrshow and others for breeding? This seems to be a curious result. Are we justified in in- terfering with nature to such an extent that many females of the breed are unsuited to perform tbe duties of maternitj ? Surely I have said enough to demonstrate that Bull- dog breeders need to set their house in order. It seem to me that if judges were guided only by the "club points," which nowhere sanction such absurd exaggerations as those to which I have referred, we should soon get rid of the cripples. Show honors should, I respectfully submit, be withheld from any dog so exaggerated that be "appears deformed," or whose "powers of motion" are impaired in anyway. Santa Cruz Show. The Pacific Collie Club will hold at Santa Cruz a three-day show next month. The show will be held in a tent on the beach. It is anticipated that the entry will be a good one. A number of dogs from this city will be benched. This exhibit by the seaside will be a novelty in its way, it affords the opportunity for a pleasant outing, at all events Mr. George W. Sill, of Santa Cruz, is the Secretary. A. K. C. rules will prevail. TRADE NOTES. AVERAGES REPORTED. Johnstown, Pa , April 28thand 29th, J. M.

The Pacific Coast Trap Shooters Association held a three days tournament at Ingleside, ending Tuesday May 30, 1905. One fact noteworthy and truly signifi- cant from several standpoints was the phenomenal number of targets thrown, which was 40,000. This remarkable showing evidences the hold that trap shooting has gained with sportsmen on tbe Pacific Coast, and gives promise of future permanence of one of the finest sports open to shotgun enthusiasts. In assembling the various important facts of interest, one that equals, if not exceeds, the others noted is the showing made by the U. M. C. ammunition during the three days tournament. The first day there were 111 shooters, and of this number 92 were exclusive users of U. M. C. Magic, Acme, Majestic and Monarch shells, or, in other words, a percentage of 82J The second day there were 67 shooters, of which 53 u6ed U. M. C. shells exclusively. The third day there were 87 contestants, 68 users of TJ. M. C. shells exclusively. In this connection no mention is made of those con- testants who used U. M. C. ammunition in part, but the list is simply of those who used the products of the TJ. M. C Co. to the exclusion of all other makes. In the first day's events of six 20-bird races, or 120 birds shot at. Hawxhurst broke 111, Bungay of Los Angeles, 110, W. J. Golcher 108, C. Sylvester 106. E Schultz 106, Nauman 105, Webb 105, M. O.

The variouscontestants in the team shooting were: Union Gun ClubNo 1 — Holling, Reed, Bradrick, Iverson, Hawxhurst, making a total of 93 breaks out of a possible 100. Golden Gate Club No. l—O. Feudner, Nauman, Webb, Varien, E Schultz with a total of 91 breaks. Union Gun Club No. 2— F. Feudner, McCutchan, Sears, King and Daniels; total 89. Golden Gate Team No. 2— Haight, Wattles, E. Klevesahl, Gibson, Newbert; total 89. Hercules Team — C. Sylvester, Moore, Lowry, Hansen, Kincannon- total 83. Vallejo Team- Clark, Chappell, Drake,' O'Hara, Brown; total 83. Of the above team shooters, 30 in number, 24 used U. M. C. products exclusively.' Bradrick won the Mullerite Medal, using U. M. C. ammunition. The contest for the Bekeart trophy in the 100-bird race brought to the traps the largest number of ex- perts in the history of the gift. The following shooters competed: Emil Holling, Reed, Feudner, Webb, Nauman, Bradrick, E. Schultz, Hawxhurst Bungay, Hagerman, Justins, Iverson. Gibson, Nelson and Newbert. Of these 15 contestants, 11 were ex- clusive users of U. M. C. ammunition. WENATCHEE SHOOT. The Eleventh Annual Shooting Tournament of the Washington State Sportsman's Association was held at Wenatchee, Washington, May 18th, 19th and 20th. Wenatchee was at her best in point of hospitality and perfect weather at the annual tournament held there. Visiting sportsmen from Oregon, Washington and Idaho were in attendance, and the local enthusiasts were untiring in their efforts endeavoring to make this meet a memorable one. The management Is to be complimented on thesuccess of all their arrangements. There were 42 shooters in attendance, and as usual the majority were users of U. M. C. ammunition, again demonstrating the confidence experts have in this reliable and accurate ammunition. Mr. E. J Chingren won the Sportsman's Review Gold Medal, using U. M. C. ammunition and a Rem- ington shotgun, with a straight of 25, unknown angles, reverse traps. Mr. Del Cooper was a close second, with 24 breaks, using U. M. C. Magic shells. Follow- ing close on Mr. Del Cooper was Mr. P. J. Holohan, with 23 breaks, using the U. M. C. "Magic" shell. Mr. T. W Miller tied for the L. C. Smith Gun Cup, using U. M. C. "Magic" shells. This event was not shot off, and is still to be decided. Thus closed a most successful meet, and visiting sportsmen were loud In tbeir praises of tbe treatment received at the hands of the Wenatchee Gun Club. WINCHESTER ON TOP. Mr. W. F. Sheard, of Tacoma, Wash., shooting a Winchester 'pump" gun and Winchester "Leader" shells, the combination Mr. Sheard always uses, captured everything in sight at the Annual Inani- mate Target Tournament of the Washington State Sportsmen's Association, which wss held at Wenatchee, Wash., on May 18th, 19th and 20th. The following are the trophies Mr. Sheard succeeded in winning at this tournament. The Seattle Post-Intel- l'gencer Trophy. The WashingSon State Champion- ship Medal. The L. C.

In an experiment at the Missouri sta- tion the average weight of 57 lambs born Bingly was 7.S pounds, and of 38 twin lambs, 7.07 pounds. It waa found that by feeding the ewe liberally, the twin:- made as good sheep as did the lambs- born singly. Almost any small, young animal may be easily carried by being put into a sack Soy beans\ and cow peas are being largely fed in the place of bran It pays the farmer to do it, as he can raise his his peas and beans, and has to buy the bran. A timid, unagressive male, is not to be desired as a breeder. The aggressive young are the ones that make the best animals. An undecided male would scarcely get this kind. The man who Bella first is aBually the man who has advertised, and he getB the best price. Color has very much to do with the sale of an animal. In selling it is wise to find out the preference of a customer, and please him, if possible. Beef is the most nutritious of all ani- mal foods, and can be eaten longer con- tinuously without tiring than any other meat.

In breeding, the best sire is always to be preferred. The best results are always to be obtained by breeding in straight lines— that is, trotters to trotters, and draft, and eaddle horses to their kind. The home instinct of animals is some- thing remarkable. When a herd is left to itself each animal feeds toward the home from which it was brought. It will leave the finest pasture for the bleak hill- side of a rocky canyon, because it is home. Scientists state that all animals are vio- lently opposed to the sea except polar bears. They enjoy an ocean voyage. Extensive experiments have been made to determine whether it is better to water horses before or after feeding. The con- clusion has not been definitely an- nounced, aB there are some who advocate watering before and some watering after feeding. Sume one estimates that a given amount of dry food, when fed to beef cat- tle, will produce three times as much in- crease in weight, as of butter, wheri fed to a dairy cow. A pound of butter, there- fore, should have three times as much food value as a pound of beef, and cost three times as much. Sometimes it does. Alfalfa meal is taking a prominent place among the feed stuffs for all kindB of stock, and Eome feed it liberally to poultry. It is an indication of kindness, but not aVays of judgment, to feed a hungry horse all he wants. If hot and tired he snould be given his hay fir.t, and when cool and more quiet be can have his grain. An overloaded stomach is not in condition to digest a large supply of food, especially when hot and tired. Horses are more frequently injured dur- ing warm weather than duriDg cold weather. They do not need more food then they can digest and assimilate com- fortably. "When overfed the stomach does not do good work, because it does not have room to act properly . It has been proven that the United States can produce as good horses as any country in the world. Conditions exist which produce animals of the greatest strength and vigor. Our climate, Boil and grasses are very congenial to their growth and development. Of all transport animals, the mule is the hardiest and moBt enduring. Hedoesnot complain when he is overloaded, but will go on all day, and when be drops there is no doubt that he has had enough. Nine times out of ten when he gives up he dies. No beast is more indifferent to extremes of heat and cold — Texas Farmer. Wool and Mutton. Sheep, to fatten most rapidly and on the least grain, must be kept quiet. Sheep will not bear being crowded in big flecks in too limited quarters. As a rule, medium sized sheep have the best as well aa the heaviest fleeces. A number of old or unthrifty ewes will often make a material diffeience in the possible profits. It is the ill condition of sheep in a flock that cause the largest amount of trouble in managing. The end in view in keeping sheep is profit, and with wool and mutton it should be realized. A Bmall amount of wool or even of mut- ton often represents the difference be- tween profit and loss. The best wool and the beBt mutton are obtained from sheep that has been kept growing all its life. Sheep restore to the Boil a larger pro. portion of the elements than they take from it in grazing than do any other stock. It is said that the soil upon which they graze affects the quality of the wool. Clay soil produces the best, sandy soil the sec- ond best, and lime soil the most inferior. The best way to clean a clover pasture where the young sprouts are becoming troublesome is to turn in the sheep. If you happen not to have a flock, buy them, but buy good ones. . «» Raising the Bacon Hog. Outside of what is known as the corn belt farmers will make more money in hog raising by putting animals of mod- erate weight on the market than by the heavy weights which have long been bo popular. The streak of lean and streak of fat hog is the most profitable one to- day, but to raise such an animal requires a radical departure from the old methods of close pens and an almost exclusive corn diet. Oats, barley, skim milk and plenty of good pasture during the summer enter very largely into the make up of the bacon hog. Some corn is fed, but mainly at the finishing off period the ma'n de- pendence being placed on the other grains with the pasture. In the case of the latter good pasture muBt be supplied. It will not do to turn the hogs on any worn out strip of grass land The pasture of mixed grasses must be good and the result will De better if a range of rape is used by way of variety. Then, let the hogs follow the harvest particularly in the corn field and they will pick up nearly all the corn they should have during the period of growth. The farm with cows and no cream sepa- rator is out of date. o Sponges. S.

Dairy Notes. The neatness with which butter is put up has much to do with its sale. An attractive pgekage is always given the preference by a customer. There are some who let the butter drain a half hour before it iB salted. They salt in the churn and let the ealt dissolve before working the butler thoroughly. In handling butter there are a good many crises which can be met only by. experienced persons. Full directions cannot be given on paper. Judgment must be the guide. The twentieth annual meeting of the Holstein Friesian Association of America will be held in Syracuse, N. Y., June 7-8, 1905. The election of efficers and other important business will come before it. It is too uncertain to attempt to make butter for high priced customers without having the necessary utensils The cream should be uf a certain ripeness and temperature, and manipulated in the most approved manner. The Belgium farmer places an average value of thirty-three cents per 100 pounds upon skim milk as a food for raising young animalB. It takes skillful feeding to make it worth that. The Belgians could give some of us some pointers along the lineB of feeding. Do not think that good cows are pro- duced accidentally. They are man's im- provement, and it is up to you as a breeder to understand how far traits and tendencies can be counted upon for trans- mission in her offspring. Pedigrees do not make butter or beef, but oftentimes make sales. It is the individual that counts. Once a week is not often enough to salt the cows. They will get bo hungry by that time that they will eat too much. That acts as a physic, and has a direct bearing on the amount of butter fat in the milk. Have ealt where the cows can get it every day. Native cows will respond to good care. Oae cow needs concentrated foods; an- other lighter and more bulky foods. Care for those you have in the best way, and get better ones as soon as possible. Men who have graded their herds have often more than doubled their butter product. No two cows have the same individu- ality for the assimilation of food and the manufacture of milk. In washing butter, pure, cool water should be used. Some pasteurize it. Plenty of water ahould be used. Two or three waters should be used if neces- sary The temperature of the water should be about 50 to 60 degrees. If cooler it makes the butter too bard work.

It saves time, labor and manure, the latter by making it go farther, which is but another form of saving. It is estimated that twoloadB of manure put on with a spreader are worth three spread by hand. A thin coat of manure evenly applied will give better results than a much thicker application put on in chunk . It is suspected that each little particle of manure contains certain bac- teria that are beneficial to the growth of vegetation. A small particle of manure will deposit bacteria thoroughly over the field so that each growing plant may receive a BUare results in an even stand that aggregates a much larger crop than where the growth is bunchy. In using a manure spreader care ib necessary to prevent over-lapping or skipping. The spreader should be tilled eyenly full, but not piled up in the center. It is a matter of precaution to stop the team when throwing the machinery in gear because the strain of starting is con- siderable and it pays to be careful. The machine requires care to keep it properly adjusted and it requires i good deal of oil to prevent unnecessary wear and to make it run easy. The time required to unload is usually from three to five minuteB, according to the thickness of spreading and the spead of the team.

QREEN'S RUFUS The Baywood Stud, San Mateo THE HARNESS RACING PROGRAM which will be given by the California State Agricultural Society at the new State Fair Grounds in Sacramento is advertised on the opposite page. Nineteen races are provided of which four are stake races in which entries have already been made. The others are class races, arranged to accommodate as many horses aB possible, and makes by far the best program the State Agricultural Society has arranged for harness horses for several years. Entries will close Monday, July 10th which date is after the close of the Los Angeles meet, iug and should therefore attract a very large entry list and result in excellent contests. As will be seen the Agricultural Society, eager to accommodate the horsemen wno make harness racing possible by paying in large amounts annually for entrance fees, has in response to a request from many trainers placed two selling races on the program, one for trotters and the other for pacers. While selling purses have long been a popular feature on running tracks, and have been suggested many times for the harness races, we believe California i9 the first place to try the plan for trotters and pacers. The Breeders Association has a selling race for trotters on its Fresno program, and now the State Agricultural Society has provided for two, one for trotters and one for pacers. The races are especially designed to bar the very fast and valuable horses, and give the owners who have spent time and money in training horseB that are not crackerjacks, an opportunity to get some of their money back and probably to sell them at fair values. The selling purses offered by the State organization have a value of $500 each, divided in the usual way Into four moneys. All horses entered in these events are put in at a valuation of $300. After the race the winner is to be sold for $300. If he brings any more than that amount half the excess will go to the association and half to the owner of the Becond horse. If A wins, is put up and Bold, and brings $350, his owner will get $300 of this amount, plus first money which is $250, thus getting $550 for a horse that he put in to sell at $300. There is also a oondition governing these events which provides that any horse in tha race may be claimed by any person after the race for his entered price of $300, plus the amount of second money which is $125, thus giving the owner $425 for a horse which by entering In the race he signified his willingness to sell for that amount. The claim made by the authors of this system of racing is that there are a yery large number of horseB in training every year and entered all through the circuit whose owners find are not quite fast enough to win and are therefore retired at the end of the season and never raced again. TheBe horses may be able to trot five heats around 2:20 and have records which bar them from any Blower classes, but are not fast enough to win any of D ECAUSE a new law provides that no betting shall *-* be permitted at the California State Fair, no owner of harness horses should be deterred from naming his horses in the splendid program that has been provided for trotters and pacers. While we believe the new law is unjust and undemocratic, it is on the statute?, and the soealled reformers who placed it there will hail with delight a failure of the program to fill, and such a result would doubtless lead them to set up the claim that an institution which cannot sur- vive unless gambling is permitted is not worthy of State aid. The old story of the camel that was per- mitted to intrude its head in its owner's tent, and finally forced its entire body in, taking possession and driving the owner out, has its counterpart in the history of the State Agricultural Society. Ten or twelve years ago a bookmaker made a bid for the bet- ting privilege at the State Fair and the bid was ac- cepted. As he paid a big price and the system was new in California, but little attention was attracted to the new invader. But as time progressed the bookmakers became more obtrusive until in the past few years they have not only controlled State Fair racing, but been the whole show, as it were. Last year they compelled ths State Board to accept their terms and dictated the racing program. ThiB con- dition of things could not continue. The bookmaker must go or the annual fairs would have to be stopped entirely. The Legislature, having a large proportion of members who knew nothing of betting methods, took the bull by the horns and prohibited all betting. While every person should have the right to make a wager on a horse if he so desires, as he ha9 the same right to buy wheat or corn at a stated price for future delivery, we believe the horsemen will be only injuring themselves who refuse to enter their horses at the State Fair because betting is not to be permitted there. If the harness races can be made a success this year without the bookmaker, it will be easy to have a legislature amend the law next session so as to permit auction and mutual pools to be sold. A return to the old methods is all that harness horse owners ask and this will come if they show their friendliness to a well conducted State Fair. Hence we say to every harness horse owner, enter in the harness events at the Fair this year and do all you can to aid its success. There is no law that will pre- vent hand to hand betting and any one who desires to wager a stated sum that his horse will win will doubt- less find someone with a different opinion that is will- ing to cover his money. ENTRIES CLOSE THURSDAY NEXT for the big meeting at Fresno to be given in July by the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association. ThiB meeting will follow the one at Los Angeles where a big entry list haB been received and will probably attract many horsemen who will not race at the southern metropolis, as well as nearly all who do race there. The Fresno track is without doubt one of the best appointed, fastest and safest in California. The meetings there are always largely attended, as Fresno people are srreat lovers of harness racing. Fresno is the raisin center of California, a prosperous, thriving community which has grown in a few years from a wheat field to a modern city of fine business blocks and b ?autiful homes. It has good hotels and excellent railroad accommodations, the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific both running many daily trains there from all points. It will be worth while for every horse owner to take the occasion of the Breeders meeting to visit this thriving place, as the enjoyment of the racing will be an added pleasure to the trip Over ten thousand dollars in purses have been hung up, a full list of which will be found in our advertising columns. Get your entries made and mailed on Thursday next, and be at Fresno to get some of the money that will go to the winners. A GOOD PLAN is the one proposed by the Board of *» Supervisors of Yolo county to aid a big county fair to be given in connection with the race meeting this year. The Board has agreed that it will appro- priate $1000 to be used as premiums for Yolo county stock only, none of this money to be awarded to stock exhibited by owners living outside the county. The idea of course is to advance Yolo county as a stock breeding section, and is a most worthy one.' Wethink this plan will be a solution of the county fair question which has been a very troublesome one to boards of agriculture since the Legislature cut off State aid to them. If the Supervisors of each county- will make an appropriation for premiums for county products, the agricultural societies can afford to give fairs and the old district fairs which were in reality county fairs can be revived. The barring of outside stock will induce the breeders of a county to make a much larger display, and eventually all the prize winnerB at the county fairs will be taken to the State Fair where they will compete in classes open 10 all. This cannot help but do much for the breeding interests and improve all breeds. The Yolo plan is a good one, and Yolo county can give a fair and race meeting that will draw people from allseetiots. We hope to see the plan taken up and adopted by the other counties. The State Fair of 1905. In a letter to this paper Secretary Albert Lindley of the State Agricultural Society says: "Our next State Fair will be held from September 2d to September 9th inclusive. The State Agri- cultural Society will by that time be ont of debt, they will have completed by then new fair ground! convenient to the city of Sacramento. Upon these new grounds they will have completed modern new buildings for the exhibition of stock, poultry, agri- cultural, horticultural, mineral and manufactured products. They will also have completed by then a regulation race track which they firmly believe will be one of the fastest and best in the We9t, and thus equipped, with an electrical carnival takiDg place during the fair week and the gathering of thousands of Native Sons in Sacramento during that week to attend their annual Admission Day celebration, they believe that with the support of the press of Califor- nii in placing before the people the attractions then to be given, and the fact that the State Agricultural Directors are going to endeavor to give to the people this year an old-fashioned State Fair that will appeal to the interests of producers of anything anywhere in California, and that they are going to compensate the exhibitors and contestants generously and promptly, by giving them liberal premiums, prizes and other- wise rewarding them for the time and trouble occu- pied in placing their exhibits; and also that the speed contestB will be given this year for the purpose of en- couraging the breeding and development of the har- ness horse and for the entertainment of the public, rather than for the purpose of furnishing occupation for the syndicate bookmakers and gamblers. We are going to endeavor to conduot the coming State Fair aloug these lines and we ask the earnest support of the press of California in our efforts to prove that a State Fair of this character can be made a success." * How to Fit Horses fir Market. Farmers in general give little attention to the matter of condition in horses which they expect to sell, says an exchange. Investigation along this line has shown that every one hundred pounds of addi- tional weight in the case of a heavy draught horse is worth from twenty to fifty cents more per one hundred pounds. In the first place, the farmer is in a position to feed as cheaply as any professional feeder, for there are very few farmers who cannot feed so as to produce fat. To sell well on the market horses must be fat, sleek and well groomed. At the season when the grass is plentiful and conditions favorable for fattening horses it is a very easy matter to put on many pounds very cheaply. After horses have once become fat on gia's, or with a little ad- ditional feed, it is a very small matter to put them in a box stall and harden them up in preparation for the sale day. The buyera demand fat. If one hae time to give proper exercise and light work he can add something to the value of the horse, as he will be ready to go right into the heavy work of the city buyer. A little additional grooming, together with blanketing for a month, will also add much to the selling price of horses. No matter what market we go into, the fine appearing, well groomed, energetic, fat horse is preferred by the buyer who is ready to pay for theBe particular qualities. Farmers cannot afford to breed and develop a first-class animal and then loso a large per cent of profit by neglecting the finishing touches.

This is a side stake for starters in the three-year-old divisions of the Pacific Breeder,, Futurity and was first suggested by Mr. T. J. Crowley. a Director of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breed, ers Association, who had entered the produce of his mare Lottie Parks 2:16} in that stake. Mr. Crowley suggested that a side stake of $25 each be made for starters In the race of 1907 and his idea was endorsed by twenty-seven owners. Those making nominations programs hereafter. There is no doubt but in some uld prove very popular. Here in stance where the same stables of horses go through the entire circuit without receiving any additions from outside points as the circuit pro- gresses, a few trotters and pacers usually develop early in the season, that outclass the others, and the result is the lists of starters are small during the latter part of the season. Races that will provide contests for these outclassed horses, in which the crackerjacks will not be entered, will make the programs much more interesting and keep many owners in the game until the close of the season who have been accustomed to horses here in the fall.

By the conditions the colts that was the best they could hope for, feeling that it was better to pay entrance fees and rot start against horses they had no chance to beat. I sincerely hope that the selling race for 2:20 class trotters advertised for the Fresno meetiDg, entries to which close next Thurpday, will get a big list and have a fair trial. It looks like a good feature, and should be one. Next Monday evening is the date set for the regular annual meeting of the members of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association. At this meet- ing a new Board of Directors is to be elected and such other business transacted as will properly come before the meeting. There should be a large attend- ance as every member of the association should be be sufficiently interested in its management and affairs to attend the one meeting held during the year. It often happens in the affairs of this association how- ever that no quorum is present at the annual members meeting, and the result is that the old Board of Directors holds over. The members must be pretty well satisfied with the management of affairs or this would not be the case. To show how political papers will cook up any sort of an excuse to abuse one that they desire to attack, the story printed about the race horses owned by the present Mayor of San Francisco, which appeared in a weekly of this city recently is a fair sample. One not acquainted with the facts in the case, would suppose after reading this story the Mayor had purchased a fine stable of thoroughbreds and trotters at a vast expenditure of money and was keeping them in palatial style at tremendous cost. The facts are that the official in question purchased one little gray pac- ing mare a few months ago to drive on the road.

C. Ralston, money in the Crowley Stake. If there are three or four of the starters that are entered in the side stake, the race between them will be a feature of the main event that will excite a great deal of interest. Mr. Crowley has therefore suggested a renewal of this stake for the foals eligible to the stake of 1908. He vill again name his mare Lottie Parks and hopes to see every person who made an entry in last year's stake nominate again in this, and that at least fifty more owners will do the same. The stake will be advertised about July 1st to close August 1st, the same date as last year. Colt stakes are without doubt the very life of the breeding industry. The Occident and Stanford Stakes, given at the State Fair each year, and the establish- ment a few years ago of the Pacific Breeders Futurity, accomplished more to keep alive the interest in standard bred horses than could have been done by any other means. Many an owner would quit breed- ing were it not for the possibility of winning the big end of a stake with his two or three year old. The added value that comes to colts by reason of their eligibility to rich Btake events is hard to estimate, but we all know it is very great. There is an adver. tisement running in this paper at the present time, in which a well known trainer makes inquiry for a filly that is eligible to either the t jvo or the three-year-old Breeders Futurity stake or the Occident or Stanford stake this year. This trainer wants a filly that Is showing some speed, and is willing to pay fairly for one that haB a chance to get part of the money. There should be quite a number of these ellgiblcs whoBe owners are willing to sell, but up to this time but very few have so expressed themselves. The truth Is that when a person has bred and raised a colt or filly and has It entered in a good stake, he has a feeling that the mere ownership of a prospective win- ner removes from his mind the desire to sell at all, and he Is liable to refuse many offers that are all the youngster Is worth. When entries close next Thursday for the Fresno meeting I will be very much Interested in the list received for the selling race, tho first I believe ever gotten up for trotting horses It was put on the Breeders program by request of a large number of horsemen, and In response to a similar request two selling or claiming races have been Included in the State Fair program advertised in this issue. For several yearn a number of California horsemen have Von advocating such purses, claiming that excellent racing would result from thorn, and that it would give the slower horses In training a chance to earn money without having to compete against the green horses that were fast and held at high valuation, as the sell. Kg and olalmlng clauses will prevent valuable horses relng entered In these events. If there is a good list • f entries to these races offered by the Breeders asso Esq " Now if Mr. McFadyen's search resulted in proof that Old Fly was a thoroughbred mare brought to this state in 1871, she could not have been the Blaak Flying Cloud mare brought here in 1873 by Mr. Maxwell, nor the Geo. M. Patchen-Nelson mare that Sam Gamble will go down to his grave believing to be the grandam of Lou Dillon. Word comes from Denver that Bon Voyage, W. A. Clark Jr.'s three-year-old trotter, is showiEg two minute speed and looking like a champion. Mr, Clark bought Bon Voyage for $10,000 just after the colt had won the two-year-old division of the Kentucky Futurity last year and taken a record of 2:15. Bon Voyage started three times in his two-year-old form. First In the Horse Review stake at Cincinnati which he won in straight heats in 2:17} and 2:15|, beating The Phantom (which James Butler afterwards bought), and five others; next in the Kentucky Futurity where he beat Katherine L. and se\en others in straight heats in 2:15 and 2:15J, and the third time a week later when Jack Axworthy beat him in straight heats in 2:15J and 2:16$. Charles Marvin, the veteran reinsman that was formerly at Palo Alto, bred, trained and drove the colt to his record and believes he should be a great three-year-old. When Bon Voyage was working at Los Angeles this spring be was not the best gaited colt in the world, but improved greatly before leaving for Denver, and it is now reported that he is trotting like a winner for Ted Hayes. On Wed. nesday of last week Mr. Hayes drove him the last quarter of a slow mile in 30 seconde flat by his own watch, while such experienced timers as Joe Gavin and Joe Matty caught the quarter in 29J seconds. Bon Voyage is well staked and will make his first start in the Hartford Futurity, then in the Horse Review stake at Cincinnati, and the Kentucky Futurity at Lexington. The two McKinoey four-year old stallions, Carakina and Ruskin, which Jack Curry purchased from Mr. Gray of Santa Rosa for an Eastern party, were bought for Dr. Henry Berthuiam of Woonsocket, formerly a resident of Providence. These two colts were bred at Santa Rosa Stock Farm and are fine Individuals. Carakina Is a pacer and a fast one. His dam is that great broodmare Biscara by Director, second dam another great broodmare Bicara by Harold. Ruskin is out of Russle Rus6ell by Bay Rose 2:20J, second dam Oakley Russell by Happy Russell 2:21J. This colt Is a trotter and haB had but a very limited amount of work but is good gaited and has the money he has spent on the little gray pacer Is evi- dence of his extravagance, the horse dealers of Cali- fornia will not be living in luxury on the profits made through supplying him with horses. There is many a man working for $100 a month who driveB a more valuable and faster horse than the Mayor does, and who spends more money on its keep, every cent of which is honestly earned and not extravagantly ex- pended. Auction sales all over the country show that the market for horses is about the same in California or Oregon as in Maine or Kentucky. Good horses bring good prices and poor ones go for less than cost. The buyers are all "from Missouri," as the saying is, and have to be "shown" instead of told. At NaBhville, Tennessee, last week 143 head of trotting and pacing- bred horses, thoroughbreds and ponies Bold for $22,- 445, an average of $156 per head. Good roadsters with no great speed brought from $250 to $400whichis good money foran ordinary horse. Thehorse market Is good everywhere for mature broken horses. If you don't think bo, go out and try to buy one. H. Lou Dillon Goes East. Budd Doble gave Lou Dillon her last work at San Jose last Saturday and on Monday she was sent East by express in charge of Frank Molloy who has been taking care of her all winter. The car In which she was shipped was to be side-tracked at Ogden, Utah, for about 24 hours to give the mare a chance for a little exercise and then again at Chicago as Mr. Billings wishes to take a look at her; then to Cleve- land. The fastest work of the famous mare while in the hands of Mr. Doble waB 2:11 but she is in prime condition and about ready for the matinees, although Mr. Doble regretied the fact that he could not have had the opportunity to train her for about one month longer, as she has been improving so rapidly during the past few weeks in both manners and speed that he thought a few weeks more in California would have been greatly beneficial to her. Laat week her first mile as good as 2:11 was trotted and on Saturday she was given four evenly rated miles in 2:23, 2:12, 2:11 and 2:11. ^ If every owner knew just when to accept an offer for his horse there would be more of them satisfied with the business. It is said the owner of Sidevlew Belle refused $10,000 for her last fall, yet she sold for $4200 at the Down East sale two weeks ago. There are hundreds of instances where owners refuse good prices for their animals and then sell them for much less, not because they are not as good as when the offer was ma^e, but because no one else thinks them worth as much as the person who made the offer. A wealthy owner can afford to refuse any price for a horse, but the poor man should be very oareful not to refuse a good offer. JtTNB 10, 1906] Wtxe gveebev cmfc giptfrfce-man Racing at Sonoma. The Sonoma Driving Club gave a meeting on May 30th which resulted quite successfully. The receipts from all sources were something over $200. While the club has only been able to give very small purses up to this time, and the sport is entered into more for fun than anything else, the members hope to be able to arouse sufficient interest so that purses of good value may be given in the future. The club contem- plates giving a meeting on July 4th, at which the purses will be larger than any heretofore offered. The track is now in excellent condition. The officers of the club are President S. B. Lewis, Secretary W. C. Nolan, Directors S. B. Lewis, W. C. Nolan, G. S. Harris, John Lawler, Jesse Burris.

On the second day, the McKinney mare Delia Mc- Carthy, owned by S. S. Bernard of Colorado Springs won the $1000 trot for trotters of the 2:35 class. She won in straight heats, 2:25 being the fastest. Woody R. by Woody C. was. the contending horse and the struggle in the third heat which was the fastest resulted in a very close finish. The 2:35 class pace on the third day went to Hallina Morgan by Duplex Hal. She took three straight heats with Capeo by Oronto second, and Cricket third. Best time 2:22*. Joe Younger took the 2:19 pace in straight heats the same day, 2:191 being the fastest. The free-for-all pace on the opening day was alively betting race. Stranger O 2:08* had been picked to beat Wiofield Stratton 2:05| in this race but the Sara- way horBe had an easy time winning in 2:181 the time of the fastest beat. Three or four running races each day filled out the program. Denver Driving Club. The firBt half holiday races of the season under the auspices of the Gentlemen's Driving and Riding Club of Denver were held last Saturday afternoon on the City park track and were in every way a perfect success. The feature of the afternoon was the 1:11 pace, won by J. A. Burnett's horse, Larry Wilkes, in 1:08$. All of the events were won in straight heats. Most of the records were fair. The track was fast.

The mixed race meeting held at Albuquerque, New Mexico was a success financially aad otherwise. Racing continued for four days with an attendance averaging nearly four thousand. It began on the 28th of May and ended May 31st. The 2:13 pace, for a purse of $1000 was decided on the opening day, and won by Mr. G. H. Easterbrooks' mare Floradora. Second money went to Selden WilkeB owned by J. H. Hogan of Lob Angeles. The best time was 2:20. The new bill passed by the Legislature of Wisconsin, calling for the registration of stallions standing fer public service, comeB into effect on January 1, next year. In commenting on the features of the new bill the Horseman of Chicago says: "This is the first piece of legislation of this nature pasBed by any State in the Union, although similar bills have been advocated by breeders in other sec- tions. The bill is liberal in its provisions, as certificates can be secured for cross bred and grade stallione, as well as, of course, pure bred stallionB found in the stud books recognized by the United States Government. This does not debar any stallion because of its blood lines, but the owners of other than registered animals have to prove the breeding of their horses, which is given in full in the certificate of registration. Under this law it will not be possible for owners to swindle the farmerB and other breeders with 'fake' pedigrees. It will Dot be possible for a stallion to secure a cer- tificate unless the horse is free from hereditary, con- tagious or transmissible unsoundness. It is unfortunate that any breeder should attempt to foist an unsound stallion on the public, and it is probable that there are few instances in which this is attempted, but for the protection of innocent partieB it is certainly a wise move on the part of the State. From the liberal manner in which the bill is drawn.it does not seem that any reputable stallion owner can take exception, although it is possible that the owner of some good trotter may regret that he did not register his horse. If there are any such tbey will find that they will have to register their stallions as 'grade' or 'crOBS bred.' This would be unfortunate, but the blame would properly lie with the breeder who had neglected his plain duty, and unfortunately at the time immediately following the 'busting of the boom' there were many of this type. It is in the power of the officials of the National and American TrottiDg Associations to en- force a more complete registration than is now the case, and in the absence of proper action by these powers the adoption of the Wisconsin law by the other States would result in this much to be desired action on the part of breeders of trotting horseB." Races at Salt Lake. The Utah Racing Association of which Mr W. S. Jones is manager gave a program of races on May 30th, that was attended by 3500 persons. The weather was fine; the half mile track in fair order, and the crowd pleased with the races. The track record was lowered to 2:14 in the first heat of the free-for-all, by that fast mare Laura Spurr, driven by Mr. F. B. Loomis, who came from Denver to drive her. The summary of the day's harness racing follows: Fr. e-for-all, pace or trot— Purse, $600. Laura Spurr, ch m by William C.

If owners would only lay out a little more money in the purchase of bits there would be fewer bad mouthB and more comfort amongst the horses, says an Eastern writer. As it is, most people appear to be wedded to one pattern of bit, and if so are extremely disinclined to adopt any other. The result is that the manners and mouths of their horses are permanently injured, and accidents occur which might otherwise have been avoided. If horse owners, breakers and stud grooms would only remember that there is a vast difference in mouths, and many a horse is driven with wrong bits, when with others money could be saved and many an equine reputation would be spared. It by no means follows that a horse which pulls will lose the habit if he is driven in a severe bit— very often it is just the reverse; and therefore the study of their horses mouths Bhould be the care of every owner.

There were over 800 horses in line including about a dozen four-in-hands and one six in hand. Every kind of workhorse was repre- sented and they were distributed in classes according to the occupation of the owners. The parade was headed by a representation of the Boston fire depart- ment, and next came two classes for old horses, the first being for horses that bad served for fifteen yearB, and the second for those that had served for ten years or more, and less than fifteen. These classes brought out a surprising number of well-preserved veterans with rounded bodies and shining coats. A large number of prizes and ribbons were distributed and also gold and silver medalB contributed by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, by the Animal Rescue League and by Red Acre Farm, a charitable home for horses established near Boston. Bronze medals were also awarded to driverB who had served their present employers for twenty years or more, and the silver medal to the driver longest in service, his term amounting to forty yearB. This annual parade is now firmly established in Boston, and all observers testify that it has had a perceptible effect in improving the condition and treatment of the workhorses.

Secretary Murray Howe puts the pacers on an equal basis with the trotters for the two early closing stakes at Memphis by offering $6000 each for 2:15 trotters and 2:10 pacers. These events close July 1. In a recent issue of the Horse Breeder ' Griffin" presents a table of the "very great" broodmares, list- ing those who have produced seven or more standard performers. He finds a total of thirty-four, which is a magnificent array to say the least. Of this number twelve, Beautiful Bells, Green Mountain Maid, Eme- llne, Sontag Mohawk, Hattie R., Delta, Minnehaha, Alma Mater, Chestnut Belle, Crepon, Eva and Belle of Clarence produced no foals that took standard pacing records. And of the twelve, the Red WilkeB mare, Chestnut Belle, one of the famous matrons at Walnut Hall Farm, in Kentucky, stands at the head a» a producer of speed, her seven performers baying records that average 2.17.357. Taking both trotters and pacers into consideration the leader of the thirty- four is the Alcantara mare Bertha, dam of Don Derby 2:04^, whose six performerB, one with a record at both gaits, the otherB pacers, have records tbat average 2 12 906. Nell, the Estill Eric mare that produced Bl'U Vera 2:08}, Tom Axworthy 2:08$, and six others, one with a double record, is second with an average of 2:15}. 6 ©he gxesbev anir gftrortemart [June 10, 1906 Notes and News. w-f i=$4*GXI>^4*GS3jy2> Next Thursday.

The chestnut gelding Wood B. is offered for sale. This is a fast and fearless roadster, gentle for anyone to drive. See advertisement. College Maid, a gir.deless pacer, is performing half mile stunts on the Colorado and New MexicD Circuit. She has done the distance in 1 :03. No less than three harness races a day will be the order at the State Fair this year, which will make it look good to harness horse owners. Two claiming races have been placed in the State Fair program— one for trotters the other for pacers. The purses aria, $500 in each instance. There are about 250 horses quartered at the Denver track at present, and fully four hundred more will be there by the time the meeting opens next Saturday. The first car load of new hay of the crop of 1905, was received in this city last week. It was cut in San Benito county and shipped here by the Lathrop Hay Company. Bon Voyage stepped a quarter in 30 seconds for Ted Hayes since reaching Denver. If this colt stays right it will take a very fast one to head him in the three- year-old stakes this years. Frank P. Kennev, the genial young Kentuckian who was associated with E, J. Tranter in the well-known "Kid-Kombination," has signed with the Blair-Baker Sale Co., Indianapolis, Ind. Miss Georgie 2:11} by McKinney, dam by Nutwood Wilkes, stepped a workout mile in 2:12 last week at Denver, This mare will get into the 2:10 list this season if no bad luck attends her. The popular Chicago horseman and writer, Magnus Flaws, is acting as presiding judge in the New Mexico- Colorado Circuit. He opened at Albuquerque and takes in Las Vegas, Trinidad, Denver and Pueblo. Delia McCarthy the McKinney mare that Jerry Doran sold to Mr. Easterbrook of Denver has won two races and taken a record of 2:25 in New Mexico. She is McKinney's first new standard performer for 1905. And now the owner of Belle Mc 2:04}, W. R. Porter, Pittsburg. Pa , wants to get in the Audubon Boy 2:03} — Ecstatic 2:05} match at Readville or in the three- cornered even^ between these two and Hazel Patch 2:05*. Helen Norte 2:16* trotted an easy mile in 2:14 at Denver last Saturday. This mare has been entered In several events at the Denver meeting by her owner Judge Thos. H. Brents of Walla Walla, and will be raced on the Grand Circuit. The sensational young mare Lady Mowry by Mc- Kinney 2:11), out of a Nutwood Wilkes mare has worked a mile In 2:17* with a half in 1:06* for Wm. Cecil at the San Jose track and from the way she works will trot close to 2:10 this fall. The handsome little Zomoro mare Lady Zombro is roundirg Into form a?aln after a short let up and last week at San Jdse trotted a mile in 2:14* with the last end of it at a 2:08 gait. She will be started at Los Angeles before Mr. Hodges takes her to Detroit. Mr. J. B. Iverson's good mare Princess 2:14 by Eugeeneer should get some of the money this year as is her usual custom. This mare has the same habit of reducing her record every year that was a peculiar- ity of the pacing mare Dictatress 2:08}, also bred and owned by Mr. Iverson, and sold by him last year. Among the animals that passed th-ough the Fasjg- Tipton Boston sale last month were the two Palo Alto bred mareB Exione and Monatine. The first named is three years old and by Exioneer, out of Adbuta by Advertiser. She brought $235. Monatine is seven years old and by Mendocino, out of Palatine by Palo Alto, and $375 was the sum she brought. The cirouit which opened at Fort Collins, May 22d, has been quite successful so far. After the opening meeting the horses went to Albuquerque and thence to Las Vegas, where they have been racing this week. The next meetings will be at Trinidad and Colorado Springs, the Denver meetine opening next Saturday, June 17th. There has been large attendance and good betting so far on the circuit. Mr. E. C. Peart, the well known merchant of Colusa, who has been engaged in breeding harneBS horses on a small scale for several years and always greatly interested in them, is contemplating having an auction sale at Colusa, August 9th. He will catalogue fourteen head for this sale, among them his stallion Diawood 2:11 by Diablo. Mr. Peart owns some fine colts and fillies by McNeer a son of McKinney. In matching horses for a team, similarity in color and markings is not so much an essential thing nowa- days as in getting a pair together that are alike in action, spirit, and speed. This is not because of any inate fancy for mismatched pairs in color but because of the great pleasure and comfort in driving two horses that travel as one. Size, style and speed go with the other qualifications. It is well and good if likeness in color can be obtained but those matching horses should not wait on this if the other things are right. ^^__^_i Ed A. Tipton, head of the noted sales firm of Fasig- Tipton, predicts the greatest famine in trotters with- in the next few years that this country has ever known. His reason for this prediction is that nearly all the establishments which bred trotters and pacers on an extensive scale have quit the business, while comparatively few new ones have been started, so that where there were ten large trotting breeding es- tablishments a few years ago there is not more than one today, and the number is diminishing every year. This condition is sure to cause an advance in prices of good horses. The announcement is made -that the usual Grand Circuit trotting meeting at the Empire track would not be held this year. The consensus of opinion among local followers of harness racing seems to be that interference with public betting at the Empire track was expected, hence the abandonment of the Grand Circuit meeting. Just why betting at the Empire Trotting meeting should be interfered with, while at the running meetings over a hundred book- makers are allowed to ply their trade unmolested, is one of those strange conditions which it is hard for an outsider to understand. There is a coal black pacer owned by E. A. Grigsby, of Napa, that some resident of San Francisco should buy to drive over the park roads. This pacer is a gelding, stands fifteen and a half hands, five years old, sound and all right, and a perfect beauty. He is absolutely fearless, kind and gentle and has been driven for a year by a lady. He has lots of speed but was never trained on a track. He is standard bred, his sire and dam both being registered. A big price is not asked for this horse, and we suggest to any of our readers who want a good one that they write Mr. Grigsby at Napa for further particulars. At the opening of the Gravesend running meeting the admission fee was raised, the men being required to put up $3, to get into the stand, while the women had to pay $1 50. The former prices were $2 and $1, consequently the smallast crowd that has witnessed the running of the Brooklyn Handicap in a number of years was in attendance and the attendance since has been much lighter than usual. The increase in the price of admission, it is said, is the direct result of the prominence in racing which the betting angle has assumed and the directors of the associations believe that the new order will be a benefit to the sport, Capt. Bennett's chestnut gelding Doctor Hammond 2:12} by Charles Derby Is working In great shape this season and is showing all his old time speed. Last Saturday at San Jose he trotted a mile in 2:18 with the last half of It in 1:04 in pretty handy fashion. U.J Roams has purchased from Emll Hollings of Sulsun, the fast pacer, Ringrose by Fal rose, that he has byen training at Dixon track. Mr. Reamsentered Ringrose In the 2:20 class pace at Los Angeles and will i^nter him at other meetings on the California circuit. One of the best bred McKlnneys In training Is the stallion Klnmont that Is to be raced on the Cali- fornia circuit this year by Will Durfee. He is out of Beulah by Altamont, and she a full Bister to Chehalls 2:01}, Del Norto 2:08, etc., being out of that great broodmare Tecora, dam of eight In the list. The X I T ranch in the panhandle of Texas has purchased four Clydesdale stallions in Canada for use on the ranch mares. The company has also purchased six thoroughbred stallions which are big-boned, large- bodied, rugged individuals from which it is hoped to breed superior cow ponies and not a few carriage horses. One of the best prospects in California at thepresent time is said to be the bay mare Blanch T. that S. C. Tryon is training at Woodland. She is a daughter of the stallion Stickle, owned by Geo. Stickle of Angels. Stickle is by Silver Bow 2:16 out of the great brood- mare Grace by Buccaneer, that is the dam of Daeda- lion 2:10, Creole 2:15. etc. The dam of Blanch T. is a mare by Colonel K. R. 2:19J a son of Bay Rose 2:20. Nearly olovon thousand dollars has been hung up by the Stale Agricultural Soolety for trotting and pacing races at the State Pair this year, exclusive of the Occident, Stanford and Stallion Stakes which are rich trotting events for three-year-olds. The first meeting over the new track should be a great success. Entiles will close July 10th. F. E. Mulholland, the well known writer on sporting topics for the Call, will leave for Denver today where he will officiate as presiding judge during the meeting at Overland Park. After the Denver meeting Mr. Mulholland will go to Portland to start the runners during the meeting at Irvington Park. "Mull" can wield the flag or the pen in an expert manner and is always fair. As a judge he is a success as he is honest and knows the game. The Utah Racing Association, at Salt Lake City, are out with their program for a meeting on Ju y 24-29, with purses aggregating $12,000. The free-fi r all pace and 2:14 pace are for $1000 each, and the fol- lowing are scheduled at $500 each: 2:22 trot, 2:12 trot, 2:30 pace, 2:20 pace, 2:34 trot, 2:08 pace, 2:18 pace, 2:23 pace, 2:24 trot, free-for-all trot. Salt Lake is in the Western Racing Association, which opened at Fort Collins, Col., May 22. C. A. Stanton, San Jose, Western Agent for the Iowa firm of Singmaster & Sons received a cable last week that his firm had just purchased another big lot of high class heavy horseB in Europe and that they were the be6t that they have ever been able to buy. Mr. Stanton has had great success handling high class Percherons and coachers and breeders on the Coast will be pleased to learn that he will soon have another big supply of this kind ready for their inspection. C. A. Spencer and A. C. Stevens appeared before the Board of Supervisors Tuesday in behalf of a county fair proposed for Yolo this fall. It is proposed that there be a raciDg program and a stock show at the fair, and Messrs. Spencer and Stevens asked the board for an appropriation. The supervisors agreed that they would at the proper time lend their sup- port to the extent of $1000, to he used for premiums for Yolo county stock only. The fact that no pre- miums on stock can go from this appropriation to outside entrieB should be a great incentive to stock owners of the county, and a good exhibition will no doubt be made. — Woodland Mail. Dan Leiginger, proprietor of the Sawyer House, in this city, took a trip to San Lorenzo on Sunday last and reported the new track there as being in fine shape. Every stall is occupied and many horses are being worked out daily. The veteran horseman P. J. Williams is in charge and has quite a string in train- ing. His stallion Monterey 2:09} never looked better in his life. He has made quite a season this year, but looks to be in condition to break his record this fall if put in training. Mr. Williams contemplates giving races at the track on the 4th of July, and if the sug- gestion meets the approval of horsemen a program will be arranged. Alta Axworthy (3) 2:10J made her first start abroad at Vienna on the second oay of the summer meeting, the first week in May. She finished fourth to Marvel Girl 2:23}, driven by Andy MoDowell. Marvel Girl is also a member of the Winans' stable, and started from scratch. The distance waB 2600 meterB. time 4:007 10. Behind Alta Axworthy were Lord Revelstoke 2:12}, Katherine A. 2:14 and others. On May 5, Andy Mc- Dowell won the Prince Warwick 4000 kronen prize for three-year-olds with Leverlte, by E. L Robinson 2:17iJ . It was the greatest race ever trotted by European-bred three year-olds, the time for the 2600 meters being 3:57 2-10. The New York State Fair which is held at Syracuse has a big entry list to its harnesB races this year. The names of thirty different nominators, representing thirty-two horseB, appear in the list of subscriptions to the $10,000 purse for 2:14 class for trotters, includ- ing about every stable of prominence in the country, and representing the fastest horses in training. The 2:15 class for pacerB has twenty-seven nominators and twenty-eight horses; the 2:09 class for pacers, twenty nominators and twenty-three horses, and the 2:09 class for trotters, eighteen nominators and twenty horses. This success is wholly deserved, for the State Fair people have offered a program that will rank with any in the Grand Circuit. In a recent issue the Boston Breeder says that the four stallions which rank highest as eires and perpe- trators of standard speed, of any that have ever lived, basing their rank upon the number Bired by themselves and their sons and also the number pro- duced by their daughters are: George Wilkes with 3034 to his credit, Rysdyk's Hambletonian with 1870, Electioneer 1560, and Nutwood 1319. Then come, in regular order. Red Wilkes 970, Onward 915, Belmont 842, Almont 761, Happy Medium 626, Alcyone 532, Alcantara 505. Dictator '479, Harold 427, Jay Bird 419, Strathmore 415 and Baron Wilkes 406. The above list includes all stallions that are credited with 400 or more descendants in the first and second generations that have made records in standard time. Answers to Correspondents. W. W. Price, Butte City— Yes; a colt by Kentncky Baron 32047, out of a registered mare is eligible to registration under rule 1, which entitles the produce of a registered stallion and a registered mare to regis- tration.

Detroit, May 30 — The floating poolroom, which seemed at one time about to be established in the waters about New York, is a reality bere. It's anchored in the Detroit river, near Belle Isle, the city's park, and is doing a rushing business. Whether it's in federal waters, Canadian waters, Btate waters or neutral waters hasn't yet been decided, and the promoter isn't trying to find out. William Considine is the renu ted skipper of the ship, which is the old ferryboat Badger State, overhauled to meet requirements. The upper deck is "canvassed" in and makes a commodious poolroom, with blackboards, operators and ali the other necessary equipment. Information is received by the wireless syBtem, the operator standing on a bridge and directing the board- makers. JUNE 10, 1905 1 i&txe gveeftev cmfc ^povtsnuxn ^ EASfERN ITEMS. 8 Doc Tanner has nine horses with records better than 2:10 in bis stable at the Cleveland track and has been miles close to 2:20 with all of them. Major Delmar trotted a mile in 2:23 last week. The Indiana pacer Dan R. 2:01} has worked ic 2:13J for Ed Benyon at Lexington. Grace Bond (3) 2:09} is working nicely this spring at Hartford and has trotted a mile in 2:23 for James Gatcomb. Caid 2-071 has proven a wonderful sire in Austria and he is easily in the lead as the sire of money winning two and three-year-olds. An offer of 810,000 is said to have been refused for the colt Plying Axworthy 2:19} in the stable of Millard Sanders at Memphis. Marion Wilkes 2:08 and Wentworth 2:08 are the early favorites far the big five cornered match to be trotted in Philadelphia, July 6. The well known trainer Jack Kinney must have his hands full at Dover, N. H , as the papers state that he has forty two head of horses in traimng. A mile in 2:27$ is reported to have been trotted at Lexington by tne three-year-old colt by Adbell 2:23 out of Sierra Madre by Baron Wilkes 2:18. Billy Buck 2:07J, one of the Grand Circuit stars of 1903, is in training again at the Brunot Island track, Pittsburg, and is said to be working nicely. Eddie Lockwood is at the Empire City track with a half dozen horses from which he expects to get some- thing that will do to race down the Grand Circuit. Pacific King, the green pacer by Diablo 2:09}, has worked in 2:17 for Vance Nuckols at Cleveland which is the fastest work of the season over the track there. Andy McDowell is holding his own on the foreign tracks and at the Vienna spring meeting in May won five first moneys and two thirds with horses from his stable. . John Splan ■» nighly tried mare Bi-Floraby Expedi- tion will be raced over the half mile tracks in Indiana. This mare has trotted miles in 2:09 but has never won a race The old trotting stallion France 2:26 by Francis' Alexander 2:19 died recently at Bellaire, Kan., the property of Charles F. Hutchinson. He was foaled in 1881. - u: The game little trotter Charley Herr 2:07 is evi- dently in good fettle this spring, as his owner David Cahill is working him miles better than 2:15 at Lex- ington. Terrace Queen 2:06 will not be seen at the races this summer as sbe has been purchased by E.M.Whit- combe of Pittsburg and will be used for matinee driving. Belle Vara 2:08} by Vatican out of Nell, dam of Tom Axworthy 2:08|, Vassar 2:07, Susie T. 2:09}, etc , has foaled a bltek filly by Allerton and has been bred to Klatawah2:05S. It is now claimed that the fast pacer Peeler Patron 2:09$ by Preleris a ringer and Easterners are making every effort to identify him but so far nothing definite has materialized. John Caldwell 2:11} is said to have trotted several quarters close to 30 seconds for James Thompson since his arrival at Cleveland and horsemen there think he is a 2:06 trotter. The chestnut mare Captivity 2:26} used in the Pittsburg matinees is a sister in blood to Charley De Ryder's M. & M. candidate Helen Keyes being by Sidney Dillon out of Captive by Piedmont 904. W. C. Floyd-Jones of New York has purchased the bay horse Gov. Holt 2:15 by Pamlico 2:10 and will drive him to pole with King Chimes 2:10} They go well together and have alieady shown 2:10 speed to pole. Geo. H. Ketcham breeder and owner of Cresceus 2:02^ will this season race three of Cresceus' young- sters of his own breeding. They are called Cressmore, Carrola and Creocia and all are said to be troubled with speed. In a recent New York speedway over fifty horses with records better than 2:20 appeared and nine of tbem had records of from 2:05 to 2:10. The outlay of money represented by the horses and equipment was estimated at $600,000. Reports from Memphis say that Major by Curfew, entered in the M. & M. by Thomas F. Adkin, Rochester, N. Y., has trained off in his work and may not be seen in the big race. Bm Kenney recently worked his M. & M. candidate Ruth C a mile in 2:23 with the last quarter in 32 Beconds. The gray daughter of Patron will no doubt be a useful trotter this summer. The grey gelding Choir Boy 2:17 that was one of the best winners over the half-mile track in the Middle West last year is in Goers' string and worked a mile in 2:14 before leaving Memphis. John L. Weideman, the former owner and driver of Ellth W. 2:05, is working some green horses at Wichita, Kan., and is said to have a couple of pacers that will do to race in good society. The well known New York road driver who was severely injured by a lumber truck running over him while he was driving Bessie Bonehill 2:05} on the Bpeedway a couple of years ago was recently awarded damages to the extent of $1250. Albert H. Moone, who so successfully acted as secre- tary at Providence for the past few years, has accepted a similar position at Cincinnati. The meet- ings are so arranged that the duties of one will not interfere with the other and Mr. Moone will un- doubtedly be able to pilot both of these meetings to a successful issue. Last week at Lexington, Gus Macey worked Country Jay 2:10} a mile in 2:15 with the last end of it at a 2:08 gait and it looks like the old gelding will get to the races again. Macey also drove the three-year-old old trotting filly FlyiDgdotte by Bernadotte a quarter in 31} seconds and sbe is considered one of the fastest youngsters ever seen at tbeLexiDgton track. The Chamber of Commerce candidate, The Con- tractor by Fred S. Wilkes, paced a half in 1.04} for Milton StokeB at Columbus, O , last week. He is owned by M. Spellacy of Hopedale, O. The pacer Owyho 2:09} by Owyhee, out of Bertha by Alcantara is in training this spring at the Point Breeze track in charge of Harry Davis. He is work- ing good and will be raced down East. Mack Mack 2:12}, Nora McKirney 2:12}, Idyllwild 2:17}, Welcome Mack 2:20} and Miss Georgia 2:11} ate gome of the McKiDneys that have shown their ability to beat 2:10 and there are also a number of gri-en horses by the same sire that will be heard from this season. Larry Gray, known from north to south from Mb association with the game old mare, Effie Powers 2:08}, has one of the most likely stables now quartered at Baltimore, including Gipsy Red 2:08}, Hardy H. 2:17}, Sundown 2:17}, Cuyler Boy, a green trotter, Oay by Baron Dillon 2:12, Oakland Minnie by Oakland Baron 2:09} and a green mare by Woodline 2:19. Ed Geers has shipped his string of horses from Memphis to Libertyville where they will receive the final touches and will also be started during the July meeting there before shippingto Windsor and Detroit Most of his horses are well along in their work and should win a little expense money before starting down the Grand Circuit. Progress in Speed. It was not long ago when the horse that could trot a mile in three minutes was a top-notcher. When we are now with the two-minute trotter we can scarcely realize the rapid evolution of speed that has developed year after year since 18i8, when the best time was three minutes, Bays the American Sportsman. Since Columbus discovered us in ]492, as the virgin land of Indians, rattlesnakes, buffalo and bear, we had never had a trotting race for money or blood up to 1818. In the summer of 1818 a horse of unknown pedigree, named Boston Blue, trotted a mile on Long Island, a trifle below three minutes for a wager of $1000, made by Major William Jones of Long Island, and Col. Bond of Maryland. Both these gentlemen, as will be noted, had military titles, as this was only a few years after the war of the Revolution, and anybody who amounted to anything had a military title and was a horseman. When thetrotting game first started the stretch was always for long distance, usually from five to eight mileB. It was 1830 before the distance was reduced to one mile. The first record of value, when sensational time was made, was in 1834 on Long Island, when Edwin Forrest beat Sally Muller in the unprecedented time of 2:31$. After this, a whole generation of men had elapsed before a trotter appeared to be classed in any sense with the extreme speed trotterB of to-day. It was at Buffalo early in August, 1867, that Dexter, the greatest and fastest of the get of Hambletonian 10, made his sensational mile 2:17}; where Robt. Bonner bought him for $35,000, then considered a fabulous sum for a trotter. The few mile tracks in those days were probably from four to six seconds slower than the best mile ringB of today, and the sulkies at least five seconds Blower. Hence, everything considered, Dexter is entitled to high rank among sensational trotters. Dexter pulled a heavy high-wheel friction axle sulky weighing 125 pounds. Dexter was at his best when eight years old. And we are not far away from Dexter. He did not die until April, 1888. Hence it was only sixteen years from the last of Dexter to the first of Lou Dillon. And he is a sure prophet who predicts that we are still growing in speed evolution. Two M. & M. candidates beat 2:14 in their work at Memphis last week. One of them was F. G Jones' mare Clarita W. by Grattan, who worked in 2:13$ for Geers and the other was Watson a son of Hinder Wilkes and trained by J. F. Wickersham. He worked a mile in the same notch. Clarita W. trotted in 2:07}, with a half in 1 :02 last year and will probably be the favorite for the big race at Detroit. The good trotting mare Precision 2:10} by Allerton 2:09} has been retired and bred to Klatawah 2:05$ and it is claimed by her owners that she is the best bred mare living with so fast a rpcord. She is out of Precise by Nutwood, second dam Prefix (dam of PriDce of India 2:13}, Liberty Bell 2:24. etc.) by Pancoast, third dam Galatea by Messenger Durnc, fourth dam Hy- acinth (great hroodmarp) by Volunteer, fifth dam Clara (dam of Dexter 2:17}, Dictator, etc.) An Associated PreBS dispatch from Detroit states that Judge Rohnert in the WayneClrcuitCourt, May 25, notified the attorneys in a suit brought by the Union Trust Company of Detroit to foreclose a mortgage on the property of the Detroit Driving Club, including the well known Grosse Pointe race track, that he would order the property Bold at auction. The Driving Club property bas been in litigation for several years. The Union Trust Company brought a Buit to foreclose a trust mortgage givt n to secure $65, - 000 worth of boods The property haB for some time been under the control of D. J. Campau of Detroit as receiver. Tom Axworthy 2:08}, trotted a mile in 2:13$ for Millard Sanders at Memphis the other day and he acted as though it was only play for him. Millard haB this horse in apple pie order and anyone seeing Tom work cannot help being impressed with him. He is slated for a verv fast record but up to date Millard has not quite set the mark just where he expects to see him step. He says he thinks he will be the equal if not the superior of any horse raced for the money this year. The record-breaking ringer Fred Wilton 2:09}, who has traveled under innumerable aliases and been ex- pelled almost semi-annually for the past four or five years, is again the hero of a mystery. Last winter he was sold at auction at St. Louis, Mo., and later it was reported he was shipped to Windsor, Ont , consigned to Elihu Wigle, and died there in January. There is some doubt, however, as to the true identity of the horse that died, and ooe man, Arthur Brown, a horse dealer of Lexington, Ont., has already been arrested in connection with the case. Commerce Depends on the Horse. It had needed only the great teamsterB' strike in Chicago to show the absolute dependence of com- merce on the horse. Granted even the horse in full flesh and working order and no one to drive him and the wheels of business cease to revolve, the great merchants are hampered and untold loss results. The people who a few years ago predicted so lustily the abolishment of the horse should take note of the present situation. Great merchandising firms must get in and get out many loads of goods daily if their business is to prosper. Countless merchants and private individuals outside the city depend daily on these houses for supplies. Without the horse none is delivered, nor can it be delivered. The world must bow down to the horse as the great motive power in city streets. It is curious, too, how far reaching is the influence of the inability of merchants in Chicago to utilize their team power. The lumber drivers in Chicago went out. The steam and sailing shipsladen with lumber in the Chicago river remained unloaded. Immediately the wires carried the information to the far Northern shipping points not to send on any more wood. That meant stagnation at such places loss of work to many men — even to the sailors. Boats are temporarily out of commission. Wages are not being earned 1000 miles away from Chicago simply because the men who drive horses in that great metropolis decline to work. Verily, the place of the horse in commerce has finally been well established. — Breeders Qaiette. ♦ Cavalry Horses. A field for the horse breeder to cater to and one which does not require the work in detail necessary to produce the race horse or the show horse is breed- ing the cavalry horse. There is a steady demand for horses suitable for the use of army cavalry, and horses may be marketed in that field with lessprepara- tion than in must branches of the market. For cavalry use buyers prefer geldings and bay, brown and black are the colors most desired. The horse must be with- out bad habits, a good walker without any defects, have an amiable disposition, good mouth and easy gait. He must be within 15 1 and 16 hands high and weigh between 1000 and 1200 pounds. The regulation age is four to eight years, with six as the choice period. He must be of good conformation, active and enduring. Prices paid forcavalry horses range from $120 to $150, and, as before stated, they are market d without any expensive preparation other than to fit them and familiarize them with the saddle, ss the army auth oritles prefer to train the horses themselTea — Exchange. 8 &Us gveebev anb gftwet*m<*tt [June 10, 1906 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

To make a success of dairying you can't know too much about your cows. So two cows are juet alite. Keep a book account with your cows. If the cow is proving unprofitable, send her t the shambles. The .lairv bull should be a pure bred animal His ancestry should show a good record and bis individual qualities stand out strong It is no sacrifice to pay a big price for a cow if you are sure of getting big money back again. Where the loss comes in is in buying a poor cow just because she is cheap. The poorest thing a man can have on the farm is a poor row. There is juBt one way to wash tinware used in the dairy. First, rinse with cold water Then use scalding water. Then rinse again with cold and set out in the sunshine and open air to dry. That will settle with bacteria and keep your milk perfectly sweet and pure. There are some who obtain forty cents per pound the year round for their gilt- edge butter, Customers may be scarce who want to pay as high a price as that for butter. But if it is nrBt-class, they may be found. It is hardly worth while to attempt to build up a gilt edge trade on butter that is only medium. Succulent food increases the flow of milk, but does not materially inorease the proportion of water in it. The relative proportions of fat and casein are changed in a marked manner by a change in the ration. An extra yield of butter will naturally follow the use of richer feed if the cow has been well selected. Ordinarily, thick cream should be churned at from 50 to 60 degrees. Many persons think that to churn from 45 to 60 minutes is a long time, but the best re- sults come from that length of time. Such churning produces irregular granules about the size of wheat grains. The milk is easily washed out, and the butter 1b of good quality. The Non-Sucking Calf.

Yet every year there are some who forget and others who do not know just how to handle their calveB. The plan of raising skim-milk calves is the most popular. It is best not to let the calf to the mother at all, or to let it remain two or three days. The mother's milk for the first few days is unfit for use, because it is indispensable to the welfare of tbe young calf. This first milk acts as a tonic, a cathartic and an invigorator. Probably the calf and the cow get along better to be to- gether for the first few days. Then he should have the mother's milk fed to him tor ten days, and gradually substitute the ekim milk for tbe whole milk. He soon begins to eat a little grass and bay, but cannot do much at it until be is five or six weeks old. At about that age be will commence to grind coru a little, which will help to balance the milk ration. A good pasture will be a great benefit to them. Turn them out and let them enjoy the sunshine, the air, the grass and clover. In figuring dairy products It is hardly a fair estimate to take the best calf and show Its growth, Its remarkable perform- ance when It comes fresh, and Its unusual performance Is not a favorable test.

The first important eveot for the foals of 1902 will be the Pacific Breeders Futurity which will he trotted and paced at the Breeders meeting to be held in August, probably at Santa Rosa. This stake will be worth more than $1000 to the owner of the trotting division. The Occident Stake, which will doubtless be worth nearly $2000 to the winner will be trotted on the first day of the State Fair, and at the same meeting the Stanford and Stallion Stakes will be decided. The Stanford has been a regular feature of the State Fair program for years, its value having increased until it is now worth about $1000 to the first colt. This will be the first contest for the Stallion Stake, which is for the three-year-old produce of stallions that stood for Betvice in 1901, and were nominated in this Stake. It will have a value of nearly $3000 of which sixty per cent will be fortrotters and forty per cent for pacers. There has probably never been another instance in America, where a six days program of harness racing such as will be given by the State Agricultural Society this year, has had three stakes for three-year-old trotters. A three-year- old trotter that can win any one of the stakes to he decided in California this year will earn quite a neat sum for his owner, and one that can win three of them will place at least $3000 to his credit.

Trainers haye been shipping their strings to the southern metropolis for a week past and many more will ship during the next few days, and by the fir6t of July probably four or five hundred horses will be at Agricultural Park track where the meeting is to be held. No bette- appointed track can be found any where, and no more enthusiastic lovers of harness racing than the Los Angelenos. One of the best managed and largest amateur driving clubB in America is located in that city and its matinee racing has been famous for years. The world's champion trotting race mare, Sweet Marie 2:04|, was the champion of this club before she entered upon a career of regular racing, and many other horses that have since earned money and fame east and west received their first lesson while being driven by amateurs at the Los Angeles Driving Club's meetings. The newly organized association which has arranged for a week of racing for $1000 purses in July, is com- posed of gentlemen who are nearly all members of the amateur club, and their enterprise and money has made the meeting possible. It iB indeed fortunate that the California circuit of harness racing is to have such an auspicious opening as the Los Angeles meet- ing is certain to furnish. The beautiful grounds, splendid track, large fields of fast horses, and the ex- cellent attendance whieh is sure to greet the northern horsemen who visit Los Angeles during the first week in July cannot help hut inspire them with some of the enthusiasm and energy which has made Los Angeles famous, and they will doubtless make an effort to display some of the same spirit at the meetings held in this part of the State. The Los Angeles organiza- tion hag spared no effort nor expense to make this meeting a high-class successful one. It has raised the sum of $15,000 and placed it in the bank to assure the payment of every obligation. It has hung up $1000 purses for all class races and its officers will see that every contest for this money is decided on the actual merit of the horses. They propose to have honest, clean and high-class harness racing and feel confident that the public will give such racing a hearty sup- port. It will be a meeting worth attending and we hope every horseman in this section of California, who possibly can, will visit Los Angeles and attend this meeting. It will be a week well spent. A THREE-YEAR-OLD that is well staked will have an opportunity to earn a large amount of money in California this year. There are four stakes for three-year-old trotters to be decided, all of which have a division for pacers, and all of considerable SANTA ROSA, one of the most beautiful cities in California, and the location of one of the best race tracks on the Pacific Coast, desires the August meeting of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association to be held there This is the meeting at which the different di-zisions of that popular stake the Breeders Futurity will be decided. About $7000 will be paid out in the four divisions to be trotted and paced this year, two of which arefor the two-year olds and two for the three-year-olds. In addition to these attractions, the association's annual $2000 stake for 2:24 class trotters, and $1500 stake for 2:20 class pacers are to be given at the August meeting, making with the regular class races as fine a program of harness racing as is given on any track west of the Mississippi river. The Santa Rosa people will submit a proposal to the next meeting of the Directors of the Breeders Association, and the probabilities are strong that it will be accepted. Few citieB in California have made more progress in recent yearB than the city of roses. A new electric car line haB been finished within the past year which connects it with Petaluma, Sebas- topal and many other towns, and the completion of the new branch line from the California and North- western road to Napa, puts that thriving city within an hour and a half's ride of Santa Rosa. If the Breed- ers August meeting goes to Santa Rosa, the largest crowds in the history of the association should witness the races. AT HANFORD, the Central California Racing and Agricultural Fair will be held this year from October 9th to 14th inclusive. The program of races appears in our issue today. Harness horses are given purses ranging from $100 to $300, and good purses are provided for runners. The Hanford Fair is one of the best attended fairs given in California. It is held in a prosperous section and the people take a great interest in the annual display of central California products as well as in breeding and raoing horses. Entries to harness races will close July 1st, with R. G. White, Secretary, Hanford, Cal. MR. A. B. GWATHMEY, ex-president of the New York Cotton Exchange and owner of that great trotter Tiverton 2:04^, winner of the fastest heat ever trotted by a gelding in a race and also winner of the fastest two heats on record, is entitled to the thanks of the Breeder and Sportsman for a copy of the handsome catalogue and program of the Sixth Annual Parade of the Road Drivers Association of New York. It is a book of 64 pages, filled with half-tone engrav- ings of members of the association, their horses, and scenes on New York's great Bpeed way. The parade took place May 13th and was a great success. SENSATIONAL HORSES appear every year on the Eastern tracks, and California furnishes a large percentage of the best ones. Two years ago Lou Dillon electrified the entire country and last season Sweet Marie occupied the center of the stage. They are now guessing the name of the sensational trotter for 1905 over East and naturally they have picked on a Californian — George G., as the most likely to be in the lime light. If California should quit breeding trotters the Eastern track managers would soon be short on star attractions. THE City Council of Los Angeles has repealed tho ordinance prohibiting the selling of poolB within the city limits. Eight councilmen voted for the re- peal and but one against it. This means that pools will be sold for the harness races at Agricultural Park next month. This has heretofore been prohibited. Native Sons to Manage Pavilion. The Sacramento Union of Thursday contained the following: After negotiating over terms for several weeks, the General Celebration Committee of the Native Sons and the resident directors of the State Agricultural Society last evening reached an agree- ment regarding the use of the new pavilion during the week of the Admission Day celebration and the Native Sons' Electric Carnival, which opens Monday, September 3d. The Sub-Committee on Entertainment, with Lester J. Hinsdale as chairman, acted for the Native Sons, and Directors C. W. Paine, William Land, Thomas Fox and J. W. Wilson, with Secretary Lindley, ap- peared for the society. It was agreed that the new pavilion on Fifteenth street, between M. and N., should be turned over to the Native Sons absolutely for a specified consideration arising from the Native Sons' share of the admission to the carnival attractions to be brought to this city by Nat Reiss. It is intended that the Pavilion shall be decorated and lighted outside and within, and that admission to all shall be free. A number of concessions will be quartered within Ihe building, and its use enables the local committee to provide desirable headquarters for all the parlors that have failed to secure outside loca- tions. It is proposed that each visiting parlor shall bring to Sacramento a display of fruit, grain or other products typical of the section whence the parlor comes. To encourage this idea a promoter will be sent out immediately to consult with the Native Sons everywhere throughout the State. Albuquerque Summaries. May 28— Pacing 2:13 olass; stake $1000.

Alta Axworthy (3) 2:10i made her first start abroad at Vienna on the second day of the summer meeting, the first week in May. She finished fourth to Marvel Gir! 2:23|, driven by Andy McDowell. Marvel Girl is also a member of the Winans stable, and started from scratch. The distance was 2600 meters, time4:00 7-10. Behind Alta Axworthy were Lord Revelstoke 2:125, Katherine A. 2:14 and others. On May 5 Andy Mo. Dowell won the Prince Warwick 4000 kronen prize for three-year-olds with Leveriteby E. L. Robinson 2:17J. It was the greatest race ever trotted by European- bred three-year-olds, the time for the 2600 meters being 3:57 2-10. Palmer Clark says: While certain so called families of harness horses have been more productive of speed than others, yet those of us who have been long con- nected with the same have seen ihe fashion in this respect change many times. So much has to be taken into a consideration as to what has been instrumental in the way of miking- certain families popular tbat I have long ago come to the belief that a sensational trotter or pacer is just as likely to come from one strain as another. Hence, if I had any suggestion to offer in the way of breeding the trotter it would simply be to use judgment in mating the strains that have apparently proved the most successful in the past, but most important of all is the selection of individuals. If you get a good, sound individual you have then got a good horse, and if, in addition, you get a fast one, then you are that much better off. That Is as near as you can approach science in the breeding of the fast harness horse. The American Sportsman of Cleveland says: "The young horse Russell G. by Nutwood Wilkes, that was started for the first time In Saturday's matinee, was purchased some years ago when W. P. Murray was In California. He is a nice-going trotter. He has had but little work and should be a useful trotter later on.

Silva and P. Ruhstaller each sent three horses to Loe Angeles this week. A traio will leave Pleasanton on Monday, June 26, to convey the trotters and pacers to Los Angeles. Delia McCarthy's record made at Albuquerque was 2:201. She was beaten at the La6 Vegas meeting. J. B Stetson has left the employ of J. A. Richard- son and the latter has been training his own horses at Denver. The association at Le G-ande, Eastern Oregon, will hold a fair and race meeting October 3d to 7th. Three $1000 purses are offered. Entries close June 20th. Frank E. Wright of Sacramento left for Los Angeles last Thursdav with nine head of trotters and pacers, Kelly Brlggs2:09J and H. D. B. 2:13 being among them. Third payment has been made on twenty-five three vear old colts and fillies entered in the Harness Stal- lion Stake to be trotted at the California State Pair this year. . Hallina Morgan, the promising old pacing mare that has been winning at the Western Circuit meet- ings was sold to Joe Barnett of Albuquerque last week for $2500 and another horse. Warren and Jessie Cornwell.of Hollister, recently brought down a band of 200 work horses from Oregon which they will feed and fit for sale. The Yuba and Sutter Driving Club will give a race meeting at Marysvillein the fall, probably during the latter part of September. A meeting continuing three or four days, with good purses, is contemplated. Henry Helman and Henrv Dunlap worked' their horses Mack Mack 2:12 and Harold D .,- trotter and pacer respectively, a mile together in 2:13 at Denver fast Saturday. Harold D. was all out at^ the fcnub, but Mack Mack looked good (or a mile in 2:10. Confienza 2:21}, the James Madison mare owned by Ed Gay lord of Denver, is working well this year and should reduce her record materially. She worked a mile in 2:15 at Denver last Saturday. Confienza is an own sister to Mr. James De La Montanya's good mare Tuna 2:08}. Thos. Smith of Vallejo was in town this week. He states that inquiries have been made recently by par- ties who desire to lease the Vallejo track for two weeks to conduct a running meeting. Mr. Smith reports that he has a fine span of horses by Mambrino Chief Jr. for sale. They are well matched and can pole together a mile better than three minutes. Robert Leighton, who is Secretary of the Seattle association, states that a good harness meeting will be given therein September. During Mr. Van DeVanters illness it was reported that no harness meeting would be given there this year, but the irrepressible Van says he proposes to give harness horse owners a chance to race for good purses. If Seattle gives a meeting Portland will also fall in line. A few copies of Ed Geers' book, giving his experi- ence with trotters and pacers, are for sale at this office at half price, postage added. Send $1.15 to the Bkbeder and Sportsman and the book will be sent you. Several speed contests were held at the Marysville track last Sunday under the auspices of the Yuba and Sutter Driving Club. The races were half-mile heats, best two in three and were enjoyed by quite a large crowd. James Guerin, a well-known horseman residing at Lytton Springs, Sonoma county, was severely injured one day last week by an unruly colt be was breaking. A broken rib and several bruises will lay him up for a while. The Rural Spirit says that C. W. Welby has leastd his stallion Yukon 2:14 to Evans & Alderman of Cen- tralia, Washington. Then the reported sale of this horse for $700 at the recent auction in Portland, was a mistake. The Western Racing Circuit which opened at Fort Collins did not include Trinidad this year. For some reason or other the entries for the races adver- tised for that track were very few and the meeting was declared off. Silver Sign 2:10] trotted a workout mile at Denver last *eek in 2:10}, driven by his owner, Judge E. A. Colburn. The same day Belladl worked a mile in 2:13}, and Bon Voyage, Mr. Clark's three-year-old, a mile in 2:18 very easily. A rumor having become current that several San Francisco gamblers Intended establishing pool rooms at Point Richmond, the Contra Costa Board of Super- visors have passed an ordinance prohibiting book making or the selling of pools within the county. Geo. T. Beckers has taken Zombro2:ll to Irvington track, Portland, and will keep him there during the stud season from June 1st to September 1st. Zombro Is one of the coming great sires of America and bis colts are showing speed wherever they are worked. He will get many high class mares In Oregon. The Los Angeles Harness Hor6e Association pro- poses giving two $5000 purses at its fall meeting. This should attract some high class trotters and pacers to California to winter, and arouse great interest in the result of the events. Joe McGuire, of Denver, who drives Mr. George Easterbrook's horses, was seriously injured at Las Vegas, New Mexico, when returning from the races. He was riding with H. E Cahill, of Los Angeles, and one wheel of the carriage went off the end of a small bridge, overturning the rig and its occupants into the arroya. Both men received deep cuts and bruises about the face and head. A race for $50 a corner was contested at the Santa Rosa track two weeks ago between three trotters owned in western Sonoma county. Socks, sired by a son of Secretary and owned by P. B. Miller of Valley Ford won the race in straight heats, Little Pet owned by F. Barnett was second and Al Brak owned by Robert Ritchie was third: Time, 2:05 and 1:57*. Three quarter mile heats. Catalogues for Mr. E. C. Peart's sale of Btandard bred horses to take place August 9th at Colusa have been issued. There are fourteen norses catalogued of which two are yearlings, three two-year-olds, one three-year-old, two suckling colts, three broodmares and one span work horses. Four of the youngsters are entered in stakes. Send to Mr. E. C. Peart, Colusa, Cal., for a oopy of this catalogue. Mr. P. E. Anzar, of San Juan, one of the oldest subscribers of the Breeder and Sportsman, owns a seven-year-old stallion that has as much of the good old stout blood in his veins as any horse in Cali- fornia. This stallion was 6ired by Billy Thornhill 2:24}, out of Ante Noche by Antevolo 2:19J, second dam Ela T. by Echo, third dam Meves by A. W. Rich- mond, fourth dam Oriole by Blackbird 401.

AN INTERESTING STUDY is the gait of trottiDg horses, and among those who havedevoted much time to it is Mr. Rudolph Jordan, Jr., a capitalist and real estate dealer of this city. Mr. Jordan has been a breeder of trotters for some years, having bred among others the mare Margaret Worth 2:15 and the gelding El Mllagro2:l]L Mr. Jordan was at the San Jose track on Tuesday, May 30th, and through the kiiid- nees of Budd Doble, took many measurements of Lou D. lion's strides when at speed. A hundred yards of the track was smoothed off on the back stretch, over which Mr. Doble moved the champion trotterata 2:10 gait, after which Mr. Jordan went to work with a steel tape measure making accurate measurements of her strides, and the peculiarities of her gait. Of these he made a chart, one copy of which was sent to Mr* Doble, another to Mr. Billings and another to the writer. Mr. Jordan found by his measurements of 25 strides made by the mare, that the average was 19 26 faet or about 19 feet and 3 inches to each stride for every leg. He also found that on the average her off fore foot slrlded 3-10 of an inch less than her near fore foot, and that the off hind foot strided 2 and 4-10 inches less than the near hind foot. At the time these measurements were made Lou Dillon wore 6-ounce plain shoes in front, with leather rim pads, 3-ounce shoes behind with web-swaged swelled heels. The angle of each front foot is 46 degrees, of each hind foot 48 degrees, and the length of toe is the same on every foot — 3J inches. The cross over of her front feet in trotting or walking has often been commented upon by those who have seen the mare at work. Mr. Jordan found by actual measurement that the cross- over was nearly six inches. Her near fore foot toes in at an angle of 2 degrees, and the off fore foot toes oat at an angle of 1.4 degrees. Mr. Jordan has made many experiments for the purpose of correcting faulty or deficient action,and from an analysis of Lou Dillon's gait as shown by her hoof prints in the experiment at Sin Jose, he has made the following deductions: 1. The greatest variations are in strides of off fore and off hind feet, showing these to be somewhat de- ficient. 2. The mare seems to shift a little to near side, more so behind. 3. The off fore foot is 3-10 of an inch behind the near fore foot. Off is the larger foot. 4. The off hind foot averages 2.4 inches behind the near hind foot. 5. The break-over at toes shows remarkably quick and powerful action in front; the break-over of off bind foot shows much less of it. 6. The off fore and near hind feet being larger hoofs are also likely to be heavier hoofs; such increased weight with reference to other two mates accounts for retarded extension in off fore, and increased ex- tension in near hind foot. 7. Off hind may be longer foot or leg, and can therefore not reach forward enough. Often a J inch less toe, with heel reduced to keep angle of foot the same, increases reach and equalizes hind action. 8. Off hind may require a slightly heavier shoe than near hind besides being shortened, and perhaps angle of foot made 1 degree less than near hind. 9. Outside heel of off hind striking ground hard tends to show that unless there is a defect in liga- ments and tendons, possibly the angle of foot should he less or the foot shorter. 10. Definite knowledge of the pecularities of gait by means of computing the averages gives one a correct idea which is apt to suggest remedies sooner than mere guessing. Mr. Jordan sums up that the two great points in L'>u 1). lion's locomotion are (1) her wonderful reach forward of both fore and hind legs, and (2) the fact that the lines of motion of fore and hind are so different and non-Interfering, in fact they compensate each other. The chart which Mr. Jordan has made is one that is wo-lhj of extensive study, and the fact that it is based on averages obtained from the careful measure- ment of 25 strides, will make the deductions from It of much more weight than any formed from the measurements of two or three. H. From New York. it many seconds faster, for it took a strong arm to hold her. The last half was made in 1:08. Mr. De Ryder worked the handsome little black Directwell an easy mile with one of Clarence Ware's pacers in 2:24, with the last quarter in 34} seconds. That was about as fast as any of them had been up to that time. The handsome black trotter Danube was highly •omplimented for his beauty as well as his show of speed. He worked a mile close to the 2:20 notch and possesses all the earmarks of a sure enough corker. Consuela S., Bolivar, Lita and the others of the ex- tensive string were given miles from 2:23 to 2:30, and all are looking in the very best form. One of the biggest "boss trades" made in this city recently was when Mr. Walter Jermyn sold his entire string of trotters and pacers to Col. W. C. Greene, the Arizona copper operator, who maintains quite an exten- sive string of light harness horses at the Harriman stable near the lower entrance to the speed way The sale included the fast trotters Mary Jo and Boralma's Brother, which have been prominent in the speedway matinees this spring as well as in the regular Sunday morning brushes on the great drive. In addition to these were the sensational youngsters Paul D. Kelly and Billings, which are now in training at the Empire track. It is said that Mr. Jermyn contemplates a trip to Europe this year, which is his reason for selling. The sale was made the latter part of last week and was quite a surprise to Mr. Jermyn's friends among the road drivers. Col. Greene likes to have a lot of fast ones around him and will use them on the speed- way, with the exception of the youngsters, which he will keep where they are for the time being at least. The price was not made public, although reported to lie $4500, an average of over $1000. — Trotter and Facer. Answers to Correspondents. Helen Koyos, the fast California mare in Mr. James Butler's stable of campaigners, has jumped Into great popularity with the visitors to Empire track on workout days, although she has not been allowed to | her speed. Trainer Charley DeKyder let her work her fastest mile In 2:20, and If he had allowed her to ilo as she liked she certainly would have made W. J. FROST, Portervilie— Signal 3327 was by Bun- day's Rob Roy, a son of Bennett's Rob Roy. His dam's breeding is unknown. If you can give us the name of the stallion that stood at Chico we can prot» ably give you his breeding ChaS. L. Becker, S. P.— There is no record of a horse weighing 1500 pounds having trotted or paced a mile in 2:20, and we doubt if a horse of that weight has ever shown such speed. W. A. Sotfin, Marysville — The evidence of a Jer- sey bull's breeding is in his pedigree and not his color. If he is by a pure bred Jersey bull and from a pure bred Jersey cow he is a full-blooded Jersey. Otherwise he is not. Some Jerseys are nearly black, others are fawn color and some nearly white. One should never accept any animal as pure bred unless pedigree is furnished. Made It Pay. To show what one really live man who is interested can accomplish we take the following from the Breeders Gazette: "In the end of May John S Bratton organized a horse show in the pavilion at the East St. Louis Stock Yards. His object was to obtain money enough to pay off a debt of $3000 which had burdened the Henrietta Hospital for some time. Mr. Bratton was recently appointed a governor of that institution and suggested to his co-governors that they try to raise the debt. He offered to raise the money in a single night, and he did it at the horse show. Four thousand persons gathered to see the show and only a week was taken in getting out the program and ad- vertising the gathering. A. A. Busch carried off the lion's share of the honors. Judges were H. P. Crane, St. Charles, 111.; O. P. Updegraff, Topeka, Kan , and Dr. W. R. Faulkner, St. Louis." Mr. F. L. Hodgkns on the Popular Horse. The most profitable horse for the farmer to raise is thus described by Mr. Francis L. Hodgkins the well known horse breeder of San Joaquin county, in a communication to the California Cultivator. 1. For ordinary farm use the average farmer likes a 1300-pound horse. This sized horse is large enough to put into the plow and do a good day's work — he makes a good size for orchard cultivating, or can be hitched on to the mower and hay wagon and give good satisfaction, and is also not too large to trot into town with a small load and make a quick trip. A good horse of this size can cover a good deal more ground than a large draft horse and is a very con- venient weight for general ranch work. 2. There are comparatively few full blooded mares of either the Belgian or Percheron breed in California, and the male offspring of these mares are generally used for stud purposes. The average weight of a Percheron stallion in good flesh is from 1800 to 2000 pounds, and of a Belgian stallion from 2000 to 2300 pounds. The Belgian breed is by far the larger in most cases. 3. The cross of a good Percheron stallion on our ordinary farm mares makes an exceedingly fine work horse. The Percheron stallion is without exception the best known stallion of the draft breeds in America today. You have only too look at the geldings used by all the large circuses to get an idea of how this breed crosses with our mares. Look at most of the brewery teams, Wells-Fargo teams, fire engine horses, in fact anywhere a medium-sized large work horse say from 1600 to 1800 pounds) is needed to do quick and fairly heavy work, and you will find that most all of these horses show very distinctly the Percheron type. I do not say that the Belgian, Shire, Clyde, or any of the other draft breeds, do not produce as good geldings as the Percheron, but the trouble seems to be in getting mares of sufficient draft to cross with them to get the desired result. In my mind the Percheron stallion crosses better with the average California work mare than any of the other draft breeds. I might say here that the Percheron team of geldings shown at the St. Louis and Chicago horse shows took the first prize at both places. 4. I think there is a good field foi the production of full-blooded horses of thedraft breeds in California. The farmer who raises a few colts every year has to have stallions to breed his mares to, and the day when anything but a full-blooded sire will do is past. Consequently, now they are buying imported stallions from the old countries (France, England, Germany and Belgium) With our climatic conditions I cannot see why the stock raisers of California cannot produce as good an animal as can be produced anywhere in the world. Of course, to do this the mares have first to be found, and a really first-class broodmare (fullblooded) costs very nearly as much as a stallion. Providing that we have the mares, and the stallion, we can surely raise as good, if not better, stock than can be raised anywhere in the world, and with our climate they ought to mature very much quicker. 5. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be as great a demand for good, sound draught geldings ten years from now as there is at the present time. Cali- fornia is noticeably very shy on good broodmares, and we have first, to raise the mares tjforewe can expect tolbe able to raise the strictly first-class gelding that will command the top price. Not very long ago I was talking to one of the biggest buyers of draught horses in California, and he told me that next year he expected to have to go to the Chicago market for his draught geldings, as he could not find enough in this State. The horse that will command the highest price in the future is the large, sound truck horse, and the man that has this kind for sale need never be scared of not getting a good large price for them, and I do not think that there is any danger of the horse market being overrun with this kind of a horse. In the dullest of horse times a good large draught gelding always brought a good figure. Fine Sulkies and Carts. The San Francisco Wheel and Novelty Company at Sixteenth and Valencia Btreets, Coast agents for the Flower City sulkies and carts, has just received a car Old ol these vehicles that are the admiration of every horseman who has seen them. The sulkies come in either white or red, and are the lighest and strongest built sulkies made. The carts are perfect models of strergtb and lightness, and come in four different colors. A rich yellow cart is one of the handsomest vehicles ever built for road riding. It has a low seat and will carry a 300 pound man or a 100-pound boy without making a difference of two pound s at the end of the 3hafts, so nicely is it balanced. Dan Patch Eats It. The full page advertisement of the International Stock Food whieh occupies the last page of this issue of the Breeder and Sportsman hasa very spirited reproduction of a photograph made of Dan Patch in one of his record breaking miles, urged on by three running horses hitched to 6ulkies. It should not be forgotten that Dan Patch eats International Stock Food, and as he is the fastest harness horse the world ever saw, there must be something in the claim that this food gives a good appetite, which brings more strength and consequently more speed. See the offer in this advertisement to send free of charge beautiful colored lithographs of Dan Patch, Directum, Arion and Roy Wilkes. June 17, 1905| ®ft£ gveebev mti> grpu rtsrocm EASTERN ITEMS. When Eddie Mitchell left EDgland for Austria he took with him three of the best trotters that ever left one English stable: Alta Axworthy 2:10i, Katherine A. 2:14 and Wig Wag 2:16}. f"SB8l The Grand Circuit opens in six weeks. Lou Dillon 1:58} has arrived at Cleveland in good shape. A mile in 2-ITJ is Major Dalmar's best work this spring. Colored drivers are barred at the summer meeting in Baltimore. Miss Alice 2:13} by Alcantara has a fllly foal by Cresceus 2:02}. Boralma 2:07 is in training again and will be seen at the Boston matinees. The trotting mare Beldia 2:09} has a foal by Directum Kelly 2:08}. Nathan Strauss 2:04} has been a mile in 2:12 with a quarter in 29 seconds over East. Alavance, sire of the pacer Vyzant Star 2:11}, dropped dead recently at Manson, la. A new half mile track is being built at Tiffin, O., and will be ready for use in September. A meeting between Sweet Marie 2:04$ and Tiverton 2:04} is being negotiated for by Secretary C. M. Jewett as a star attraction for the summer meeting at Read- ville, Mass., July 31-A.ug. 4. The racing season is in full bloom over East and there were nine meetings held last week. The dam of the sensational black pacer John M. 2:02$ has been bred to Woodland Boy 2:06}. Whisper 2:08$ a full sister to the champion mare Dariel2:00} has been bred to McKinney 2:11}. That Sidney Dillon is very popular in his new home in Indiana is attested by the fact that seventy high class mares have already been bred to him. The Chamber of Commerce candidate Bonanza in the string of Al Thomas at Wheaton, 111., has worked a mile in 2:15 with a quarter in 31} seconds this spring. Baby Kidd 2:10} has her familiar winning ways still with her. At the meeting in West Union, la., she won the money as usual and set the season record over a half mile track at 2:12. The three-year-old trotting colt by Abdell 2:23, out of a mare by Baron Wilkes 2:18 that Mike Bowerman recently drove a mile in 2:171 at Lexington, Ky., which is the fastest mile yet reported in the EaBtthis spring by a three-year-old, is owned by John E. Madden, the noted thoroughbred turfman, Reports from Williamsport, Pa., state that tha popular poolseller, Frank Herdick, has recently suf- fered a relapse after apparently recovering from an attack of pneumonia. His many friends all over the country wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him selling pools again down the Grand Circuit. Since the Boston critics have seen Ecstatic 2:051 work during recent weeks at Readville, they are not so sure her match against Audubon Boy 2:03J is "purely for advertising purposes." Panella 2:13, dam of Sadie Mac (3) 2:11} and Todd 2:14$, has foaled a handsome bay filly by B'ingen 2:06}. The well known newspaper man Jack Martin is the new Superintendent of the mile track at Liberty- ville, 111. Geo. M Garth has arrived at Baltimore for the spring circuit in that region. He has six Tennessee pacers with him. Of the fifty horses Geers had in training at Mem- phis last winter there are about sixteen that will do to takn to the races. The green trotter Reydlette by Rey Direct 2:10, in the stable of Vance Nuckols at Cleveland, has worked a mile in 2:16 with a half in 1:06$. Ed Benyon has shipped Jack Axworthy (2) 2:15} to his owner in Pittsburg and the fast son of Axworthy will be seen only in the matinees this summer. The sensational Axtell mare Angle with a trial of 2:06$ and entered in the M. & M. worked a mile in 2:15J for Geo. Saunders at Cleveland last week. The champion four-year-old pacing stallion of last year, Irish 2:08} by Monterey 2:09}, is in training at Wheaton, 111., and recently worked in 2:15 for Al Thomas. He is said to have greatly improved in manners and will be a hard nut to crack in the 2:09 class. Wm. H. Hughes, of Philadelphia, owner of Marion Wilkes 2:08J by Hawthorn Wilkes, has issued a chal- lenge to race against Gene D. 2:12} by Johnny Wilkes for $1000 a side. The proposition has not been accepted. The office of James Butler announces although the Empire City early-closing events have not yet been published, there is no truth in the report that no Grand Circuit meeting will be held on the YoDker's oval this year. Geers gave his horses some pretty stiff work last week and rode miles in 2:10 or better behind George G. 2:06}, King Direct 2:05}, Baron Grattan 2:06} and Walter Direct, while Clarita W., Hal Hardy and Turley were driven in 2:11. The great broodmare Mary A., dam of Annie M. 2:101, etc., has been bred to Directly 2:031. She is owned by Willard Amos, Rushville, Ind. The classic Ohio stake for 2:09 trotters to be raced for at the Cincinnati Grand Circuit meeting has this year been increased from $5000 to $10,000. Ras Eckers is now at the Wheaton, 111 , track with eight head of horses. He arrived from Memphis last week. The stable is owned by Col. R. W. Hunt of Chicago. Claude Lent of Manson, la., has sold to J. Mc- Parland of Volga, S. D., the pacing gelding Vyzant Star 2:111. He will be campaigned through the Corn Belt Circuit. Lafe Shafer has resigned his position with the Terrace Farm and has engaged as second trainer for Geers who will race the former's recent pupil Zephyr 2:11 by Zombro. M. E. McHaffie of Stilesville, Ind , has received an order from a wealthy Russian for twenty trotters to be shipped as soon as they can be secured, all to be able to trot in 2:20. Leonor 2:24 dam of Jenny Mac 2:09, Dr. Book 2:10 and grandam of Irish 2:081 has foaled a handsome bay colt by McKinney 2:111. She is owned by H. H. Lucke, Spring Valley, N. Y. The pacing horse Owen Gallagher by Simon (sire of Free Bond 2:041) out of the dam of Gallagher 2:031, started in his first race at Seafortb, Out., June 1st, and won second money. He is owned by A. Bedford of Chatham and will take a fast record before many moons. He is a big, strong-going stallion and attracts general attention. An open air horse show will be held at the Fair Grounds, St. Louis, in October under the manage- ment of A. A. Busch and John S. Bratton. The track will afford a grand chance for jumping and four-in- hand races with gentlemen riders. Ed Abrams of Tiffin, O. , will race in the Lake Erie Circuit the green mare Jean by Heir-at-Law 2:05|, out of Lady-in-Waiting, sister to Ed Easton 2:091 by Chimes. Jean has shown a mile in 2:171, a quarter in 31 seconds and an eighth in 15 seconds. F. J. Park is the latest one picked to trim Walter Direct in the Chamber of Commerce Stake. He worked in 2:08}, 2:07} and 2:09 last fall. Will Evans has a yearling at the Lexington track by Todd 2:14|, out of the dam of Country Jay 2:104 that trotted a quarter in 351 seconds the other day" He is said to be the fastest yearling ever seen there but there is hardly a possibility of his being started for the record this fall. R. C. Estill is the owner. Tiverton 2:04} is training nicely at Rochester, N. Y., and has worked a mile close to 2:15 with a quarter at a two minute clip. He carries more flesh than he did last year and trainer John Howell thinks he is sure to reduce his record. The following trainers are located at the Detroit track: Jeff Cunningham, Jimmie Burns, John O'Donnell, Fred McKey, Ben Stanley, Charles Haynes and Frank Cares. There are over fifty horses in training there and all are showing well. Those two sturdy old campaigners, Dariel 2:001 and Connor 2:031, are in training at Crittenden Park, Syracuse, N. Y., in charge of Wm. Chase. The pacing queen recently stepped an eighth at the end of a workout mile in 141 seconds. Connor is being driven slow miles. He looks good and is as limber as a colt. Alice C. 2:271, dam of Espy Boy 2:13 and Dorcas Moore 2:20; Sabina by Espy Boy and Pickwick by Milton S. 2:081, three fine broodmares, owned by Crane & Powell of Urbana, O , were killed by lightning while running in pasture last Monday. The Hudson River Stock Farm is the fortunate owner of the handsome mare Edna Patch by Dan Patch 1:56 safely in foal to Star Pointer 1:591. The produce will be the only foal in the world with a two minute sire in both branches of the family. Frank D. Weller, of Toledo, O., who at one time owned Baronmore 2:141 and gave him his two-year-old record of 2:351, has patented a ball-bearing attachment for hobbles. Mr. Weller has disposed of interests in his invention to parties at Detroit and elsewhere. Among the recent arrivals at the Gentlemen's Driv- ing Park, Baltimore is Eddie Hayward of Chicago, with a string of eight trotters and pacers, including Sue Dix 2:151, George M. 2:171, Blackbird 2:161 and five green ones he has been working miles around 2:20 and 2:21. Contralto 2:10 is still winning in Italy. At Ferrara, May 17, she won the Ferrara Premio, beating Mary Rachel 2:14} Kirkwood, Jr., 2:10 and B. B. P. 2:09$. At the same meeting B. B. P. won the Vandalo Premio beating Poindexter 2:09, Mary Rachel and Miss Fear- ing 2:14}. Country Jay 2:101 is evidently in the business to stay this year as his last workout was in 2:13| and the railbirds Bay he can trot in 2:08. Guss Macey surely deserves credit for persevering with this fellow as a half dozen leading veterinarians gave him up as a hopeless cripple. The sensationally fast pacing colt Rey Del Valle by Rey Direct 2:10 that Dave McClary worked in 2:07 la9t year is a three-year-old and later sold him to David Lee of New York is in training this 9pring at Poughkeepsie, N Y., and ha9 shown a mile in 2:20 for trainer Geo. Howell. Dick Wilson has fourteen head in training at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and several of them are real high class ones. He is training among others John Taylor 2:081, Carl Wilkes 2:04| and the pacing mare Her Grace that worked a public mile in 2:04} at Mem- phis last fall. All of thi9 string with the exception of John Taylor belong to Geo. Sherman and will be started on the Grand Circuit In August. Dave McDonald has a lot of good horses in his stables at Pittsburg. Among hiB record horses are Doctor Strong 2:07}, Glory 2:111, Sweet Marie (p) 2:111, Easter 2:131, McEurie (p) 2:171, Joe N. 2:171, Harvey C. 2:191, Oakland Bell 2:231, Major Wilton (p) 2:241, 2:17} to wagon, and a lot of fast ones. Some of these horses will be raced by him, both at the half- mile tracks and down the Grand Circuit. Since she joined Alta McDonald's stable at Albany, Sweet Marie 2:04$, has not beaten 2:20, but she looks fit to go out and race right now. Mr. McDonald will not hurry, as she will not be started until late in July or early in August. McDonald is working 27 horses, and Lord Derby, 2:05$, and the yreen mare, Ladv Babbie, by Ansel Chief, both owned by E. E.Smathers are in the lot. Frank G. Jones, of Memphis, will be a prominent figure in the harness horse world now that he has disposed of some of his business interests which took up 80 much of his time He will have quite a good stable out this year and among the ones that look to have a good chance to get the money are Tom Ax- worthy 2:08|, Baron Grattan 2:06}, Choir Boy 2:17} and the M. & M. candidate Clarita W. with a trial of 2:07$. The veteran trainer Scott McCoy is located at Louisville, Ky., with a good stable and last week worked the Allerton mare Delight in 2:161, while Maxine 2:08$ was allowed to step in the same" notch. The young stallions Prince of Calcutta by Prince of India 2:131, and the three-year-old by Directum 2:051 — Crescent 2:24}, have returned from Gulvallis Farm and are again members of McCoy's stable. Gazote (3) 2:16} by Nazote is still at the farm, where he is being allowed a few choice mares. A sixteen-year-old grandson of Rysdyk's Hamble- tonian won a race over the Parkway track on Memo- rial Day, trotting two heats (of half-mile each) in 1:12 and 1:10}. The old codger is Bill of Expense 2:20} by Hambletonian's Last 2:25}, dam Lady Voltaire" by Voltaire 2:20}, grandson of Pilot Jr. ; second dam by Lexington Chief 2:37}. grandson of Volunteer. Bill of Expense was gotten when his sire was 12 years old. Hambletonian's Last was gotten when his sire (Ham- bletonian) was 26 and his dam (Lady Russell) waB about 19. Before Millard Sanders shipped his horses to Cleve- land from Memphis he worked some of his youngsters in remarkably fast time for this season of the year. Flying Axworthy (3j worked an easy heat in 2:16, and another three-year-old, Lady Worthy, did 2:19}, last quarter in 0:32$. Both of these can do 2:15 now. Two others, same age, worked quarters at a 2:10 gait. The same day Millard started out to work his two best two-year-olds, Nelda Worthy, out of old Nell, and Hilda Worthy, out of Bellwood A. 2:07}, in 2:25. Tom Axworthy 2:08$ trotted an easy mile in 2:12}. Scott Hudson has at last made good his threat to quit the trotting horse game as reports from Louis- ville state that he has cast his lot with the runners and already has a stable of seven or eight thorough- breds in his charge. Hudson was one of the most successful of the younger generation of tra'nera and during his short career in the sulky has raced such famous trotters and pacers as Audubon Boy 2:03}, Nervolo 2:04}, Twinkle 2:05}, Onward Silver 2:05}, Hawthorne 2:06}, McKinley 2:06}, Rythmic 2:06$, Chase 2:07}, Jay McGregor 2:07} and Eagle Flanagan 2:07}. He is an indefatigable worker and a good trainer and will undoubtedly be heard from in this new field. The American Sportsman of June S says: Since the arrival of the ex-champion trotter, Nancy Hanks 2:04 at Cleveland from her home in Maine, to be bred to John A. McKerron 2:04} everybody wants to look at the ex-queen. During the day she has a paddock alone, where she acts like a colt. Those who expect to see a mare that has taken on the form of a brood- mare are disappointed, for really she looks more like a young mare than one who was foaled in 1886 and who trotted to her mark at Terre Haute, Ind., so lODg ago as thirteen years. She is in good flesh also en- tirely sound, and as spry as a colt. In the adjoining paddock some colts were racing up and down the fence, and the ex-queen would join them on her own side, and seemed to enjoy the fun. She was mated with McKerron as soon as she arrived at the farm. &he &veeitev cm& *?v0vi*nxan [June 17, 1906 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL Conducted by J. X. D« WITT. Coming .Events.

' man, way: !t you folks i-no:'' swim up hit: elate Wld no slcb liar:" A TBIUUTE TO BLACK BASS. Dr. James A. Henshall, the well-known authority on game fish, has this to say of "the people's game flsh:" These be parlous times in angling. When William King, in the seventeenth century, with as much prophecy as humor, wrote: "His hook he baited with a dragon's tail And sat upon a rook and bobbed for a whale," he built better than he knew. And if Job had lived in the twentieth century, the query: "Canst thou draw out Leviathan with an hook?" would be answered in the affirmative. Also, it would be demon- strated that "He maketh the deep to boil like a pot," at Fort Myers and Catalina. The shades of Walton and CoSton of Sir Humphrey Davy and "Christopher North," and of our Dr. Bethune and Thaddeus Norris, could they "revisit the glimpses of the moon, " would view with wonder and silent sorrow the tendency of many anglers of the present day toward strenuosity, abandoning the verdure-clad stream, with its warbling birds and fragrant blossoms, for the hissing steam launch and vile-smelling motor boat in pursuit of leaping tuna and silver king. It goes without saying, however, that, considered as a sport, fishing for these jumbos is highly exciting and capable of tnfusiDg unbounded enthusiasm, but it can hardly be called angling. Blaak bass fishing! These are words to conjure with. What pleasurable emotions they call up! The black bass is now an acknowledged peer among game fishes, and taking him weight for weight, excels them all. The generic term black bass, as here used, includes both the large-mouth bass and the small- mouth bass. The two species are as much alike as two peas in a pod, the most striking difference be- tween them being that one has a larger mouth and larger scales than the other. When subject to the same conditions and environments, they are equal in game qualities. The habits of the two species are similar, though the large-mouth bass is more at home in ponds and weedy waters than the small-mouth bass, which prefers running streams and clear lakes. Their natural food is crawfish, for which their wide mouths and brushlike teeth are well adapted, though they do not object to an occasional minnow or small frog. Owing to the wide distribution of black bass, fishing for it is universal. It is no less eDjoyed by the rustic youth with peeled sapling rod and crawfish bait than by the artistic angler with slender wand and fairy-like flies. A century ago in Kentucky the multiplying reel was invented especially for black bass angling. While black bass fishing was known and praotieed in the Ohio valley from the earliest years of the nineteenth century, our angling books for three- fourths of the century contained but little, if any- thing, about the black bass, as they were mostly com- pilations from English authors. The only exceptions were the books of Robert B. Roosevelt, an uncle of the president, who fished for black bass in Canada about 1860. At the present day there are more articles of fishing tackle made especially for black bass than for all other game fishes combined. This is proof that it is popular and, all things considered, the best game fish of America. Salmon fishing, the grandest sport in the curriculum of angling, is now an expensive luxury. There is but little free water accessible, for all of the best pools are in the possession of wealthy clubs. The bold leap of the salmon, when hooked, the exciting play of the fish on the rod, and the successful gaffiing are as so many stanzas of an epic poem. Trout fishing is a summer idyl. The angler wades the merry stream while the leaves whisper and rustle overhead, the birds chirp and sing, the insects drone and hum, the cool breeze fans his cheek, as he casts his feather lures, hither and yon, in eager expectation of a rise. Black bass fishing combines, in a measure, the heroic potentialities of salmon fishing with the charms of trout fishing. The leap of the bass is no less excit- iog than that of the salmon, and is oftened repeated, while in stream fishing the pastoral features of trout fishing are experienced and enjoyed. SACRAMENTO NOTES. That the possibilities for sport with rod and line in the vicinity of the Capital City is making a strong bid for the attention of the Waltonians Is shown by a report from that section which states that last Sun- day It looked as if every able bodied man with the inclination, the time and the tackle was out fishing. Eor a distance of five miles the sand bars up and down the river, near Sacramento, were lioed with angling enthusiasts Intent upon taking from the river striped bass, black bass, catfish and the miscellaneous assortment of fish that could be tempted with spoou, fly, aDgleworm, grub or shrimp baits. It may be safely estimated that there were a thousand fishermen and numerous assistants scattered along the banks of the river or bound for one or other of the many lakes near Sacramento. In the early morning the procession of poles and rods looked like a miniature forest. Many of The Eagles bound for the Folsom picDlo and the fishermen carried the same brand of bait, and there was some confusion until the plcnlo train started. Many of the anglers started as early as 3 o'clock Sunday morning in order to take udvautageof the sunrise biting period. Stories told about town when the anglers returned at night were calculated to stagger the intelligence of a conservative citizen who never goes fishing. As a matter of fact, the old Sacramento River has developed, this season, a generous treatment of fishermen that is eliciting grateful commentB. Anglers who have gone out properly prepared have seldom returned empty handed, and the variety of the catch is likewise the subject of piscatorial com- ment. Scores of salmon have been hooked with fly or spoon, sometimes to the embarrassment of those anglers unprepared with proper tackle. For the first time in the memory of the oldest local disciple of Isaac Walton, the shad are rising to the hook, and many of them have been added te the collection of black or striped bass in the fisherman's creel. A white fly with a red ibis tall has been found a killing lure for shad. Salmon fishermen who supply the market are hav- ing a prosperous season. The Chinook salmon are exclusively in evidence to date. The salmon are larger, on the average, than ever before known. Fishermen are using nets with a nine and one-quarter inch mesb, which will allow a fifteen-pound fiBh to escape. The industry is profitable, as evidenced by the fact that local dealers are paying six cents per pound for all fish purchased. SAN JOSE NOTES. The season for trout fishing in the streams of the Santa Clara Valley and contiguous slopes is now on and local anglers are leaving the Garden City daily for the mountain streams, where the lordly rainbow, peer of our fresh water fish, is waiting to do battle royal with the expert fly-caster. Since the first headlong rush of novice fishermen to mountain streams in queBt of trout during the open- ing week of the season, fishing has cooled down con- siderably until at present it is mostly the old and experienced anglers that are going out to seduce the wary rainbows and steelheads with the gay fly or glittering spoon from their haunts in the riffles and pools of the Guadalupe, Llagas, La Honda, Los Gatos and Santa Ysabel. Nice-sized beauties are being caught daily from the local streams, but a good cast and a quiet angler are necessary to obtain large creels. The Guadalupe, which gained for itself a bad reputation as a trout stream during the early part of the open season, has regained alarge partof its lost honor. A philanthropic spirit seems to have come over the fish when the question of flies is considered, and many good sized ones have been taken out during the past and present week. Contrary to gereral expectations, the Los Gatos has turned out to be an honest brook, after all, and has yielded up a goodly number of trout, though they do run more to gluttony than to gameness. One .of the finest limit creels of mountain trout caught during two or three weeks past was displayed last Saturday by William Morris, who, with Ed Kennedy, returned then from a day or two fishing in Cavanaugh. Kennedy failed to come up to the limit, but exhibited 35 good-sized rainbowssays the Mercury. Ray Hogg and Joe Maglnni each confess to having caught 50 beauties in Smith's creek above Hall's valley. From the sporting store of F. Schilling & Son comes the news that both the upper Ysabel and Stevens creek, near the headwaters, are producing phenomenal numbers of trout, and each cast made by either novice or expert is almost sure to be rewarded by a rainbow or ateelhead prize. C. Hastings, of San Jose, and a party of five from San Francisco spent a week on the Arroyo Honda, and altogether they secured something like 300 trout. Among the other recent returns quoted are Tom Bodley, 6 in the Los Gatos; Eddie Barnes, 49 in the TJva6; V. G. and G. and H. Humburg, good strings in Stevens creek. Dr. Miller and Professor Tucker report fine fishing on the upper Ysabel; J. De Costa, 14 in the Guadalupe; L. Bollinger, 48 in the Calaveras. But perh-.tps the record catch for large trout was made a little over a week ago by Roy Bridgeman and L. H. Hartmann, well known sportsmen of San Joae. From the Little Sur, in Monterey county, fifteen large fish were taken, averaging from 15 to 30 inches in length besides a number of smaller t:out. Reports from Poncelets' on the Llagas are that the fishing tnere this season is better than ever before. The weather is getting warmer in the mountains than it has been for some time, and for this reason the trout bite readily. They ri6e for the fly, but many find it better to use a worm as well. The trout are of a much larger size in the LlagaB now than they were at the opening of the season. The best fishing is to be had in the vicinity of the Mountain Home. Vic Poncelet, Jr., secured the limit catch in a short while recently. RESTOCKING SANTA CKOZ STREAMS. Good news to the many anglers who fish in the Santa Cruz streams is the report that the Santa Cruz county fish hatchery, located at Brookdale, began the distribution of 800,000 young trout on the 10th ihst. in the streams ef the county. The sportsmen's clubs at Santa Cruz, Boulder Creek and Soquel have under- taken to provide transportation, and will attend to the planting of the fry in the most suitable places where the fish will thrive. Among the streams that will be stocked areWaddells, Scotts, Buteno, Boulder, Bear, Kings. Soquel and the San Lorenzo river. Fish Culturis't Shebley, in charge of the hatchery, has 5,000,000 young fry iu the hatching trough and ponds, which will be distributed in all the streams of Santa Cruz county within the next four months. FENCED IN STREAMS. A question has been decided by the Colorado Su- preme Court that may come up in this State and is in consequence of much intereBt to anglers. Fishermen have no right to break into the lands of owners who have patented them under the State laws, if the lands be enclosed by a fence and posted as required by law, was the decision recently of the Su- June 17, 1905] ®lte gveeXtev cmfe gtpxrrt#mcm 9 preme Court en banc, Justice Steele dissenting, in the case of J. A. Hartman against George Preise of Gun- nison county. The latter broke into the lands of the former, after having previously been notified not to fish in the stream that flowed through the land, which was stocked with fish at public expense. Hart- man brought suit, and the Gunnison county district court dismissed the case on the grounds that the citi- zens of the State have the right to fish in natural streams against the protest of the owners of the land, through which the streams flow. This decision was reversed by the Supreme Court. OIL ON THE WATERS. The oil nuisance has assumed anew phase. Hereto" fore the row kicked up has been looked upon as emi* nating entirely from disgruntled salt water anglers When the Fish Commission's attention was called to the oil nuisance in the past, by public spirited sports- men, the matter was usually taken under advisement and that was the last of it. Now and then, it is re* ported, word would be given out by the State officials that it was found "there had been an accidental leak, and as soon as the break was repaired," the particu- lar individual nuisance and law violation complained of would be abated. Again, the Commission has been credited with the opinion that the "commercial inter- ests involved" were of more importance than the fish supply in the bay waters or the sport of the anglers. Nearly all of the bay and river steamers burn oil and consequently are great factors in contaminating the waters with the refuse aDd waste oil. Minor com- plaints have been numerous but unavailing against the stoppage of the law violation In this respect. One of the latest developments is the closing down of a cannery located at Benecia by reason of the scarcity of fish, not enough being obtainable to keep tbe can- ne.'y working force busy. Ttie reasons alleged for the insufficient amount of fish taken, is that the oil nuisance has depleted the supply. Fishermen of Vallejo, San Pablo bay and the Sac- ramento river, are up in arms over what is believed to be the unlawful action of the steamers in these waters in allowing so much oil to escape into the water. The matter is to be called to the attention of the Fish Commissioners at once, it is stated, and if relief cannot be obtained from this source the courts will be resorted to. PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF TROUT. The question as to the right of owners of fish ponds or enclosed waters, where trout or other fish have been propagated, to sell and dispose of the same at any and all times, irrespective of fish laws, local or state, is a well settled one, contrary to the belief of many who "raise" trout in such manner. The opinion of most fish culturists is that so long as they have raised the fish, they may dispose of them in the same manner as ordinary truck garden pro- ducts. In this they are wrong. If such were the case, the openings for an evasion of fish laws would be obvious. In several of the Eastern states tbeques- tion has been settled by legislative aid. On the Coast the matter has come up in different localities. At the next session of the Oregon Legis- lature an attempt will be made to pass a law permit- ting the sale of trout propagated by private means, and in inclosed waters. A similar statute is in effect in the State of Washington, and has resulted in the raising of large numbers' of trout by companies or farmers who own streams or lakes adapted to the purpose. While many of these trout growers have developed fish of marketable size, few of the trout have been sold, as it is figured that another year's growth will more than pay for the care of keeping them an additional season. Sportsmen generally favor the plan, as its success would tend to stop the surreptitious sale of wild trout, taken from the public streams, to clubs and high- toned restaurants, which are able to pay a good price for trout and guarantee protection to the men who supply them. Systematic propagation would also permit owners of water-courses to stock them with game fish at reasonable expense, and would increase the supply all around. Of the "trout farms" now in operation in Washing- ton state, perhaps the largest is that of the Commer- cial Trout Company, which has been in business several years, with hatcheries near Snohomish. Hatchery and nursery buildings have been erected and equipment installed, cottages b_iilt for keepers, and nearly 2,000,000 trout hatched, not including this year's spawn. Some of these trout are now over two years old and of marketable size, but the company will not place any of its product on the market for another year. About a year ago the company, finding its facilities inadequate for the maintenance of stock on hand, and to provide trout for future years, increased its capital from $50,000 to $75,000. Since that time a dam has been built across the Sultan river, diverting a portion of the flow to the trout farm. The flume is 3500 feet long, four feet wide and three feet deep, and is built on such a grade as to divert 32,000 gallons of water a minute. An artificial lake for raising wild trout for breeding purposes will, when completed, cover thirty-three acres and have a maximum depth of twenty feet The depth is graduated so that the trout can chose their own places for exercise or rest. Thirty new rearing ponds have been completed, and ground cleared for 100 additional ponds, which will be installed as rapidly as possible. The company began taking eggs last December, and has completed the work of hatching now. About 1,250,000 eggs were imported from the Ea<-t, and all arrived in good condition. About 2,500,000 of this year's fry are being fed now. fronts on the McCloud river for some ten or twelve miles. The new club house was burned to the ground Saturday night, June 3d, together with all of the out- buildings. The loss is total. The club house was one of the finest in the State and was built last summer at a coat of something like $150,000. FLIES AND LEADERS. There is quite a run of salmon on at present in Monterey bay, the fishing so far this season having been productive of great results. The "Chinooks" seem to be particularly numerous, with but only a sprinkling of "Silversides." A total five days' catch by the boats recently numbered over 2000. Aside from those consumed bv the numerous sports- men staying at Monterey and not accounting for the fish that have been shipped by private parties to their friends, sufficient Chinooks were captured to supply the cannery with 2181. The fish are unusually large. The average weight is 16 pounds. Last year the uniform size weighed no more than 10 pounds. ComiDg days promises to bring even more surprising results. There has been a great number of San Fran- cisco fishermen daily on the waters enjoying the sport to the full. Among them were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Burke, S. and M. C. Tevis who were successful in landing a number of large sized fisb. Reports from Russian river are that the black bass fishing in the vicinity of Guerneville or Duncans is worthy the attention of anglers. AH the hackles are the killing lures at present on the Truckee, the McCloud and upper Sacramento. Webber lake trout fishing is just coming in, the lure is all small English flies on No. 14 hooks — browning yellow, dark spinner, whirling dun and furnace palmer are good patterns Lemoin, Castella and Sims are ripe for the fly- fisher's presence— hackles on 12's at midday or 10's. in the evening are suggested to intending angling pilgrims. Reports from Klamath Hot Springs, Big Meadows and Boca are encouraging The Purissima is still inviting, but for small fish. Waddells, Scott and Big creeks have been declaring most satisfactory trout dividends. Lake Lagunitas fishing has been better this year than for several seasons past, the fish caught are game and of good size. ever, that the possession here referred to i9 a deliber- ate infraction or the statute, it is on the contrary, in nearly every case, commendable and was prompted, no doubt, by a feeling of pity for a stricken wild creature. In such cases the proper method of pro- cedure is to secure a permit from the Board of Fish Commissioners for the retention of the wild bird or birds, such permission is not hard to get and is the correct method of compliance with the law. The wild game found in this state, is for the time being, the property of the commonwealth, its taking, possession or molestation in every respect and kind being con- trolled by the statute laws now in force. The communication referred to requests our views on the argument between A. and B. A has a wild mallard drake and two wild mallard ducks — that were winged and captured. The birds received good care and recovered. In due course the ducks layed eggs which finally hatched out a brood of 13 ducklings, that at the present time are "flappers." A. desired to sell the young ducks to B. "for a duck stew." B. refused to buy, claiming that "he would be liable to arrest for having wild ducks in his possession out of season." A. insists the birds "are not wild ducks." "Who is right?" B. is, as we said above, correct in his view of the law and facts. We will refer the disputants to an analogous caBe in the "Angling Notes," which relates to the private ownership and sale, in and outof close season of trout. The principle admitted there is that of state owner- ship and control of possession. In other words, A 's stand is "in contravention of thespiritofthelaw," and this is far to grave a matter to be buried in a duck stew. If A. is inclined to be skeptical, he should consult Charley Vogelsang who, we are sure, will put him right in the matter. GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. DUCK SHOOTING GROUNDS SOLD. The Sacramento Bee this week relates the story of the transfer of an immense tract of Suisun marsh land most of it well known to the sportsmen of this State as famous duck and snipe shooting territory. Land in any of the bay county marshes, has in most localities, enhanced greatly in value during the last decade. Some of the foresighted sportsmen reading the signs of the times, years ago bought duck shoot- ing grounds, that can now be sold for many times the original price. The transaction referred to above and which will make future duck shooting history is as follows: The most important real estate transaction that has been made in Solano county in many years, and cer- tainly the largest deal in marsh land knoffn in Cali- fornia in many a day. has just been closed by Edward Dinkelspiel, editor of the Solano Republican, and a well-known real estate man, representing a syndicate of Influential men. The purchasers include E. Dinkel- spiel of Suisun and Frank Maskeyand Joseph Harvey of San Francisco. The' tract of marsh land purchased consists of about 5000 acres and the price paid is reported to have been in the neighborhood of $120,000. The purchase com- prises the famous Chamberlain tract recognized as the finest duck shooting land in the State. For some time the reclamation of marsh lands in Solano county has attracted considerable attention and the successful experiments made on a small scale will unquestionably form the precursor to an exten- tensive scheme of reclamation. The acquisition, therefore, of the Chamberlain tract will mean much for Solano county in general and Suisun and vicinity in particular. For many years a portion of the land west of the railroad track has been occupied by wealthy sportsmen of San Francisco. The land on the other 6ide of the railroad track and running for several miles along the Suisun Slough is unexcelled marsh land and has been pronounced by experienced men to be capable of producing crops of various kindf, if reclaimed and put under cultivation. It is, without doubt, the finest asparagus land and if devoted to this industry will yield the owners large returns. This is proven by an experiment on the Emmington farm on the east side of Suisun bay, which yielded the owner in the neighborhood of $150 per acre, clear of expense. As before said, the purchase includes the Chamber- lain tract on which is located the well-known Teal, Cordelia and Ibis Clubs. These clubs will remain as lessees until the expiration of their terms, when the new owners will make changes which will be decided upon later. The preserve of Herman Oelrichs, Esq., and the Family Duck Club (formerly the Canvasback Club) groundB are nearby also. ANGLERS' CLUB HOUSE DESTROYED. The McCloud River Country Club members will have to camp out this summer if they go hunting or fishing on their magnificent game preserve which A DUCK STEW. In answer to a correspondent relative to a question over the ownership of wild ducks in captivity, we will state that we believe B is decidedly right in his argument. The birds are wild ones in the eye of the law. There are, we believe, numerous wild ducks in the possession of various individuals throughout the State, most of them being cripples left over from last season. The possession of wild ducks (or any other protected wild game bird), dead or alive, during the close season is a violation of the law. We do not intimate, how- AT THE TRAPS. The California Wing Club live bird shoot for June at Ingleside las- Sunday brought out thirteen guns in the club match at twel-vepigeons. Notwithstanding cold, foggy weather conditions the average of scores was a fraction over 90%, but sixteen birds getting away, of these six dropped over the boundary and did not score. Ten birds only lost out of 156 is not a bad showine by any means. Will Golcher was in fine form and did not lose a bird during the day. Walsh, Nauman and Klevesahl each lost one bird out of 24.

A report from Portland, Or. states that a larger number of shooters were gathered at the Irvington grounds of the Multnomah Rod and Gun Club on the 11th inst than at any time since the season opened. It is evidence that interest in the NorthweBt shoot next week is on the increase. Jack Cullison was high gun, breaking 92 out of 100 birds. Ellis and Abraham are Bhooting well, as is the case with a number of other shotgun men.

The shoot brought out a good attendance ol members and with the ex- ception of a slight breeze the day was a perfect one in sofar as flying target shooting was concerned and some very good scores were made.

The high scores, averages and prizes won with them are reported so fast that it is not possible to publish more than a part of them, but the testi- mony from all sections of the country is very much alike, and the following may be taken as a sample. Pacific Coast sportsmen are rapidly getting a line on the merits of Peters Factory Loads. At San Diego Pastime Gun Club tournament. May 20, 21 and 22, J. E. Vaughan firBt high average and every team and trophy event but one was won with Peters Factory Loads. On May 13th, at Reading, Pa., Neaf Apgar, made the wonderful record of 178 out of 180. Mr. Sim Glover was second with 166. Both used Peters' shells. At the Nebraska State shoot, Hastings, May 9th to 13th, Peters' shells were used by winners of first and third amateur averages, and the State championship. At Herrington, Kans., May 17th, Mr. E. W. Arnold won the Peters' gun event with a score of 90 out of 100, shooting from the 20 yard line.

Williams with a run of 32 straight, ties included, Mr. Williams using "Du Pont" Mr. Fred Coleman won the Individual Champion- ship of the State at targets, shooting "Infallible." WHAT A RELIABLE GCN DOES. Fred Gilbert has been doing some wonderful shoot- ing, as the following scores will show: At Crawfordsville, Ind , on May 17, shot at 210, broke 204; May 18, shot at 210, broke-206.

At St. Louis, on May 21, scored HOstraight; At Lincoln, 111, on the 23d, scored 99 straight; on the 24th, 104 straight and on the 25th, 118 straight. This is excellent shooting, and 6peakB volumes for the "Old Reliable" Parker gun. Down in Texas, Mr. M. E Atchison has been doing some fine work with his Parker gun. At Abilene, Texas, May 24 and 25 he was high amateur, breaking 355 out 400. In the 100 target run, he was also high amateur, having broken 87. Out in California, at the tournament of the Pastime Gun Club, at San Diego, May 19, 20 and 23, Mr. J . E. Vaughan won high average. Mr. Vaughn never uses anything but the "Parker." The firearm and ammunition announcements here- tofore appearing on the back cover page will be found this week on the inside of the front cover page. AS USUAL, WINCHESTER WINS. The annual inanimate target tournament of the Gridley Gun Club, which was held at Gridley, Cal., on the 10th and 11th inst., proved to be a most en- joyable affair. Winchester products, as usual, carried off the honors of the shoot. Out of the twenty-three shooters that participated in this tournament, fifteen shot the Winchester make of shells, and nine used Winchester "pump" gunB. The Laffln & Rand "In- fallible" Championship Cup was won by J. W. Humble, of Gridley, with a Smith gun and Win- chester "Leader" shells. The three man team trophy was captured by the Marysville team, composed of Messrs. Giblin, White and Hare. Every one of these men, without a single exception, shot the Winchester "Leader" shells, and in connection two used the Win- chester "pump" guns. The Kimball-Upson Co.'s trophy, emblematic of the champion inanimate target shot of Northern California, was won by E H. Man ville, of Colusa, on the splendid score of twenty straight, with a Winchester "pump" gun and Win- chester "Repeater" shells.

The prize butter at the recent Iowa ■State Dairymen's convention scored 97>£ and won over 187 competitors. The maker gives the following method of manufacture in the Chicago Daily Pro- duce : "It was made from one day's milk, at a temperature of 85 degrees. I skim- med a 50 per cent cream and I diluted to 30 per cent with a good starter prepared from Ericsson's culture; ripened it at 68 degrees to an acidity of 33 c. c. (Manns); churned it next morning at a tempera- ture of 54 degrees. The acidity of cream when ohurned was 35 c. c. and the acidity of the starter when used 28 c. c. It was salted one ounce to a pound of moist butter and worked at intervals for one- half hour, when it was packed and kept in the refrigerator one week before it was sent to the convention. This butter had a very mild flavor when it was freBh, but the flavor developed as it Btood and was at its best at the time when it was scored." Note that there waB no guess work about the ripening process. The degree of sourness of the cream was determined with exactness and was controlled by the temperature and a prepared starter which in turn had been made from a com- mercial culture. The modern butter- maker does not make butter by guess work, but he has got his business re- duced to a science. 'AVAGE SELF FEEDER THE only rifle of its kind that feeds continually with hand-work.

It was fixed and blistered by a veterinary and the animal turned out for three months. The spavin was obstinate and the mare continued lame.

WONDERFUL MILES This Engraving was made from a Photograph taken of Dan Patch in one of his Marvelous Speed Exhibitions.^ It shows Dan Flying Through The Air with even' foot off of the ground, and is as natural and life-like as if you saw him in one of his sensational miles. You will notice that Dan Patch is pacing in his smooth and majestic manner, while the three runners are urged on by voice and whip in their tremendous efforts necessary to keep up with Dan in his record-breaking miles. This picture shows exactly the way Dan makes his exhibition miles. The runners are used to stimulate Dan to greater efforts, because he goes faster when he has a horse to beat. Dan wants and enjos's a close and exciting race, and he will not pace his fastest clip unless he is in company. No trotter or pacer can go fast enough so we use high bred running horses. ■SSF'Watch For Dan's Exhibition Dates This Fall. He Is Faster Than Ever, DO YOU WANT MORE SPEED?

GREEN'S RUFUS The Bay wood Stud, San Mateo EVERYTHING POINTS to a great meeting at Los Angeles when the Harness Horse Association openB the gates of Agricultural Park in that city on Monday, July 3d. The horses congregated there are the best in the State, and there will be some very fast miles in both the trotting and the pacing events. In the latter especially will records be reduced. No one need be surprised if in some of the pacing events three heats below 2:10 are required to win. The Los Ange- les people are very much enthused over the outlook for the meeting and gate receipts will be large. The public has confidence in any sport or business in which the promoters are willing to put up their own money, and when the Los Angeles Harness Horse Association showed its faith in itB venture by puttingup $15,000 In cash to insure the payment of the purses and the financial success of its meeting, the horsemen re- sponded liberally with entries, and the public are anxiously waiting for the gates to open and the rac- ing to begin. The Los Angeles Association deserves success and will achieve it. HORSE INSURANCE is getting to be very popular in the Eastern States, and companies which han- dle this line are doing a thriving business. The poli- cies issued are usually against death from accident, and consequently the premiums are not large. John Madden, the well-known breeder of thoroughbreds, insured sixty head of yearlings recently against acci- dents for one year. The policies total 875,000 and the entire premium money was but £300. The liability covers accidents and injuries of all sorts, from a kick to a railroad smash-up. On this Coast there are no companies making a business of accident insurance for horses, but there is quite a demand for something of the sort. Answers to Correspondents. W. J. M. Stockton, Cal. — The chestnut stallion Royal Prince 2:19} was foaled 1888, by Dexter Prince 11363; dam Ida W. by Abbottsford 707; grandam Winthrop Girl by Winthrop 505. He was bred by L. M. Moise, Lodi, Cal. and trotted to his record at Decatur, 111., Aug. 23, 1894. Winthrop Girl is not registered and we are unable to further trace her pedigree. Chris Anderson, Areata.— Reavis' Blackbird 402 was by Blackbird 401, dam Jane 8mith by Capt. Lightfoot, son of Victor by Abdallah 1, second dam by a horse called Kentucky Eclipse. Werner's Rattler 262 was by Biggart's Rattler, a son of Sir Henry, dam by Mars, grandam by Defiance. Algerine was a son of Hambletonian 725. We cannot place Montezuma. There were several stallions, both thoroughbreds and trotters by that name. Harness Racing July 4th at Ingleside. The San Francisoo Driving Club will hold racing at Ingleside on the 4th of July. The entries to the four events that have thus far closed are as follows: First race — W. Clough's Nora Hagerty, M. Don- nelly's Peggie, F. P, LauterwasBer's White Cloud> H. Simi's Lady Diana, M, Leather's Butcher, J. W. W. Price, Butte City— Kentucky Baron 32047 waB bred by Mr. J. H. Onthwaite, of Savannah, Cali- fornia, who sent his dam Kate Carey by Kentucky Prince to be mated with Baron Wilkes. He got his record of 2:27J at Colusa, Cal., July 26, 1900, in a race of four heats, which he won. His record was made in the last heat, which was the fastest of the race. Big Money Talks Interestingly. The trotting editor of New York Mominq Telegraph last week forwarded to DaveG. McDonald, Pittsburg, a letter for Jas. M. Gatcomb, owner of Audubon Boy 2:03}, in which he says he is willing to let the Pittsburg mare Bell Mac 2:04J, join the match between Audubon Boy and Ecstatic and make it a three-cornered affair for $5000 a corner, winner to take all and to be paced at R9adville Grand Circuit meeting, and asking Mr. McDonald if Mr. W. R. Porter's challenge was real. When shown the letters Mr. Porter authorized Mr, McDonald to make the match for him and he has written the Eastern owners, in which he says, on receipt of a reply from them, he will post one or two thousand dollars at once, balance to be paid in to any- one agreeable to all parties the night before the race, and to make it play or pay and not to be declared off for any reason unless forfeit money isl&ven horse ready to start, and he also says he would like to make a four cornered match on behalf of the Pittsburg mare, between the three named and Hazel Patch and make it a four-cornered affair, and also add Dan R. 2:0H, if agreeable to all, for $5000 a corner and to be raced over any big track that will offer the most for the race. Mr. McDonald also says the Pittsburgers mean business and will put up the gold as soon as he hears from the other parties. The outcome of the talk will be watched with interest by followers of the light harness horse all over the country. Bell Mac is in training at Columbus, O., and has been in 2:20 this spring. — American Sportsman. THE GRAND CIRCUIT will open on July 24th at Detroit, where is always one of the most success- ful meetings held during the year. Following Detroit comes Cleveland, with $27,000 hung up for racing at the historic Glenville track. Buffalo comes next, and so as not to be outdone by any other meeting, offers the magnificent sum of $37,000 in purses. The week following Buffalo was refused by the Empire track people, and Poughkeepsie will step into the breach. The order of towns is then as follows: Readville, Aug. 21-25; Providence, Aug. 28 to Sept. 1; Hartford, Sept. 4-8; Syracuse, Sept. 11-15; Columbus, Sept. 18-22; Cincinnati, Sept. 25-29, and Memphis, Oct. 16-26. No Intention to Deceive. [Trotter and Pacer] The question of obtaining judges who will enforce the rules without fear or favor ib Baid to be agitating the minds of the race committee of a certain promi- nent amateur driving club near this city. This sug- gests another question — why, in an organization whose existence is maintained for the purpose of rac- ing for pure love of the sport, and in which no sordid or mercenary consideration of mere money-getting are supposed to enter, is it necessary to have judges or especial vigilance and fearlessness in order to en- sure obedience to the rules? It is a conclusion sup- ported by abundance of testimony that some profes- sional trotting horse driverB muBt be watched, and that the presence of argus-eyed and intrepid judges are necessary to keep them from resorting to practices which are not sanctioned by the rules. There is of course no justification for such conduct, but it is not without a slight degree of extenuation in the fact that the professional driver who reBorts to crooked practices does so with the hope of material gain to his purse and the consequent improvement in his condi- tion. This plea is not available for the amateur driver who has recourse to cheating to win his engagements. He races for pleasure solely, and his material interests are not a whit affected by the result, whether he winB or loses. Under these circumstances it might be sup- posed that the only necessity for judges at all, in a gentlemen's race, would be to see that the horses are sent away 011 a proper alignment, and to decide the winner in a close contest That there should be need of judges with especial qualifications to see that the rules are observed and that fair racing is assured, is a confession that would not Beem to afford much room for complacency to gentlemen who entertain notions of sentiment and ideas of honor in connection with sport. Yet we presume that it is not more surprising to learn that cheating is occasionally manifested in gentlemen's races than it is to know that men masque- rade under false colors in businesB, politics, religion, and all the social and moral pursuits of life. It is the taint of the serpent, which will never be bred out of the race. For the dignity and high repute of amateur sport, however, it cannot too strongly be impressed upon its adherents that the meanest and most despicable of all forms of cheating is that which is manifested in a friendly contest, whose only reward is distinction, and in which every contestant is assumed to be on his honor. » Color in Horses. Manager Granger of the San Jose Amusement and Racing Association, that has a lease of the San Jose track, says that while he has built several railroads Buccessfully, the business of managing a race track is entirely new to him, but he is willing to lose a little moneyin learning, and believes he will yet make the San Jose track the greatest training centre in California. He was much chagrined over the outcome of the races advertised for Saturday, June 10th, and says that owing to his not being acquainted with the proper manner to shape the advertisement for his opening day, horses were advertised to go against time instead of showing exhibition miles. He says he was out $250 on the day, but does not regret the loss of the money so much as he does that people came from a distance to see something that was not done. Mr. Granger has made costly and fine improvements at the track, hav- ing painted the grandstand, whitewashed stalls and fences and made a general clean-up of the grounds so that they are now in fine shape, while the track is in perfect condition. What is the favorite color in horses? A corre- spondent in Kentucky asks ub to state how "fancy" horses are rated in this regard, which color is con- sidered first, which second and which third, also "which sorrel is the chestnut. " By "fancy" horses we presume our questioner means high class carriage or saddle horses, and in some ways it is impossible to reply con- cisely to his query. If one will pay close attention to any one of the great horse marts for a week or a fort- night he will learn that there iB a wide diversity of opinion among individual users as to which is the best color. This man wants blacks, the next light chest- nuts with white manes and tails, a third wants roans and a fourth bays, while some one else may want skew- balds and will have nothing else. However the beBt way to reply to the question put is to state the case in the most general terms. The majority of horses are of that foxy red color entitled bay. There are various shades of this red, but all go by the one name — bay. Usually such horses have black legs and manes and tails, points as they are called, though very often there is more or less white about the hind ankles and not infrequently in front also, particularly if the Eni- malls "near the blood." A bay horse always looks well and so does his neighbor of the darker shade called brown. With dealers who hope to sell again at a price larger than the first paid it is a toss-up between the brown and the bay. Horses of these hues cannot be objected to on account of color. Therefore the bay and the brown may be ranked first and second. Third on the list probably comes the dark liver or burnt chestnut which does not differ greatly from the brown in hue- After that may perhaps be ranked the blacks, the roana and the light chestnuts, the main objection to the latter being that horses of that color are often badly marked with white and present a flashy sporty appearance which gentlemen and ladies do not like to characterize their equipageB. In fact a man likes to have his horses known on his account rather than that he should be known on account of his horn:?. Good dark roans, red or blue, are always in demand, but they are comparatively scarce always and every- where. Grays are not popular for carriage work though it is admitted that few horees look betterthan those with nicely dapple gray coats. The lighter shades of chestnut are called sorrel. They are other- wise known as golden or light or washy chestnut?. — Breeder's Gazette.

M^ NttV FORTY YEARS AGO an old fellow named Gus Bukofsky kept a general tracing a Lake county, California, where the few farmers and stock men sold what they had, and bought whBt they could. One day a sheep herder came into the store and asked of the proprietor: " vVhat ie a brown hear skin »o- "Hrowo bear skin," said Gus, "don't vort much. Dey vi, gettln' so common dot de city dealers won't toy price (or 'em Now black bear skins vas Oill-reut. as de market ish not over-stocked." •'Then you think I could get a fair price for a black hi'iir skin?" asked the sheep herder. "Oh, sure." replied Gus. '•Well, I've got a black bearskin to sell, and a nice one it is, too . " said the shepherd. The storekeeper started back with astonishment, out like all of bis tribo recovered his equlibrium in a moment and holding up both hands with palms op n and lingers extended, said: •'Oh: You've got a black bear skin. Veil, I'll tell jou my (rient, black bear skins bring von hell of a price in Europe vere dem nobility fellers use em for buggy robes, but dere's no sale for dem at all in Lake couoty, cos eft rypody here ish Democrats'" The above incident was recalled to me when I heard tha". the much talked about selling race advertised by the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Associa- tion for its Fresno meeting had received just one entry. For three or four years past some seven or eight trainers of my acquaintance have been calling for selling races at harness meetings Every time I would run across one of these trainers he would begin talking about selling races and asking why associa- tions did not offer one or two such races and give the plan a trial. Some of them claimed that it would be the salvation of the harness racing sport, and give the hundreds of owners who fail to develop a cracker- jack, an opportunity to race their horses where they would have a chance to win. After the program for the Breeders' August meeting was published, there was quite a protest because a selling race was not on the program, and at least one numerously signed petition was received by the Secretary suggesting conditions for a selling race to be put on the Fresno program. Their suggestion was acted upon and the program, which clostd last week, contained such a race. It received one lone entry, and this from an owner who, bo far as my knowledge goes, had never made any demand for races of this sort. The owners and trainers who had been so persistent in their requests for a selling race passed this one by. Like Bukofsky's black bear skin there was a big demand for it until one was offered and then every last man of them side stepped. 'Twas ever thus. From the cradle to the grave people are always crying for what they haven't got, and when they get it they don't win t it. The State Fair bas two selling events on its program of harness races. I hope they will fill, as I would like to see the plan have a trial, hut if the people who have se persistently advocated them re- fuse to enter, how can they expect others to? Budd Doble, to whom Mr. Jordan sent one of the charts of Lou Dillon's gait, expresses the very highest opinion of Mr. Jordan's work, and believes It will lead to great results in the curing of faults in the gaits of horses. Measuring the strides of horses at speed is not a new thing, but Mr. Jordan has many new ideas in connection with it. He has made a deep study of i; for years, but has been backward about giving any of his deductions to the public as he says he has "so many things yet to ascertain." The account printed in this department last week of the measurements by Mr. Rudolph Jordan of Lou Dillon's strides when that mare was trotting a 2:10 gait, has attracted much attention from horsemen and quite a number have called at the oflice of this journal to see the chart of the same made by Mr. Jordan. Io a letter to me Mr. Jordan desires to correct tho statement made in my article that he is ' 'a capitalist. " He states that be Is In the employ of a fire Insurance company and tbe term capitalist is quite erroneous. I hasten to make tho correction but wish that be were entitled to the appellation. In his letter Mr. Jordan says that It seems to him almost pre- mature to bring tbe matter before the public at this t hu has still much to ascertain, if the remedy Is to lollow the defect. Por the present Mr. Jordan says he preferi to give the data of the gait, and let the men who make It a business to shoo horses furnish the remedy. Some day, when his proofs are many he may be able to lay down a law, but at present Is con- tent to suggest only. Mr. Jordan further says that he only bas a limited time from business to spend on this very Interesting study, but that he has peraever- aocuonough to carr; on the work In time. Ho closes his letter an 'ollows: "It ie roy aim to furnish a method which while it seems com- plicated Is very simple and certainly very correct In riaohlng actual conditions of I ctlvlty ,i a farm, love for the horse, and fondness of out of oor life have contributed to this u r, ovi&mcm ENTRIES FOR FRESNO MEETING. Additional Stakes to Complete Program Where Races Failed to Fill. At the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association held in this city Monday evening of this week, the entries for the meeting at Fresno were canvassed and those races having a sufficient number of entries were declared filled. Those which failed to fill were the 2:13 pace, three-year-old trot, three-year-old pace, 2:13 trot and 2:24 trot, and the selling race, the last named receiving but one entry. In place of the races which did not fill, the following stakes were ordered to be advertised tn close July 10th, the same date on which State Fair entries will close: Three-Year Old Trot 8400 Three-Year-Old Pace 400 2:22 Class Trot W0 2:12 Class Trot 600 2:13 Class Pace 600 Under the conditions for the races that closed June 15th, nominators in races that failed to fill, may on July 1st, transfer their entry to any other of the classes that filled in which their horse was eligible on June 15th.

The following interesting item from the Denver Post shows how easy it is to quash a "reform" move- ment in Denver: "A crusade started by members of the city council against bookmakers and purveyors of cooling bever- ages at the Overland race meeting is off. The alder- men and supervisors who were piqued at being ignored by those in the betting combine and by the refresh- ment concessionaires have had tneir wounded feelings soothed. So there will be no arrests made at the track today. When fifty season tickets for the races appeared in the council committee room this morning a half dozen aldermen and supervisors got together and decided that amends had been made for the indignity offered them." ■ Cure for Bog Spavin. Mr. Julian Bassett of Fremont, Mich., writes June 5th as fol- lows: ' Enolosed find one dollar, for which please send one bottle of your blister I find Qulnn's Ointment Is just the thing to have around a stable. Have removed from my colt's legs what horse- men call bog spavin and now have another case onwblchlwl-h to try it." This is the general expression of horsemen who have given Qulnn's Ointment a trial.

The largest attendance ever seen at Overland Park on an op?ning day witnessed a program of mixed racingtbat was long drawn out but interesting and good sport. The d ay 's card began with the 2:30 pace for which the purse was $500. There were six starters out of the original ten entries and horses from Pleas- anton got first and second money. Five heats were paced, the race ending at that time according to a special rule. Henry Dunlap's gelding Harold D. by Dexter Prince was the winner with two heats to his credit, and William Brown's Golden Gate by Bay Bird was second. In the books prior to this race Golden Gate was the favorite at 4 to 5, Harold D. was 3 to 1, Lady M. 7 to 1, and even money on the Field. Fire to one was offered against Harold D. before the second heat and then the California boyB got their checks down and cleaned up quite a pile. After the second heat Harold D. was held at 1 to 3. The 2:20 trot for a purse of $1000 was very easy for the Oakwood Park bred mare, Confienza by James Madison, dam Ituna by Steinway, an own sister to Tuna 2:08J. Confienza is owned by Ed Gaylord of Denver. She took the race in straight heats and reduced her record to 2:14J in the second heat. Get- away took second money and Dewey third. Delia McCarthy won fourth money. By the showing in this race Getaway should win the match with the McKinney mare when they meet at Denver on the 29th inst. Major Cook was distanced in the third heat, after being last in each of the others. The summaries of the harness events follow: Pacing, 2:30 class, purse $500.

Summaries for Monday's racing have failed to reach us. On Tuesday there was but one harness event, the 2:15 trot which was won by the mare Helen Norte after making a bad showing in the first heat, for which trainer Rutherford is under investigation. The first heat was won by W. A.Clark Jr.'s Morone, a colt he purchased as a three-year-old last season and which took a record of 2:18J in Illinois last August.

It seems that some parties took the hor6e out of his stall and undertook to steal a service, with the result that Kildare was Beverely kicked over the heart, which laid him up for five weeks.

The greatest change in the actions of Lou was seen when she went out on the road as 6teady as any road horse, while Major Delmar was jogged immediately behind her. She will he under Doc Tanner's care and will be used by Bil- lings in the matinees in speed contests with Major Delmar. The Major has not been better than 2:16, but is in grand form and will soon be in shape to go a fast mile." Grant Lapham, the well known horseman of Alameda, died on Wednesday last at the Alameda Sanatorium after an operation for appendicitis. Mr. Lapham was a native of Glens Falls, New York, but had been a resident of Alameda for twenty-five years. Although engaged in real estate business the greater part of the time during his residence in California, he was a natural horseman and built and managed the large training stable at the Alameda track. Among other horses trained by him was the fast mare Phoebe Childers 2:10} owned by Mr. L E. Clawson of this city. Mr. Lapham was an excellent caretaker ; and hiB horses were always in fine condition, and stalls, harness and rigs kept scrupulously clean. Few train- ing stables were kept in the perfect order that Mr. Lapham kept his. He was a strong and robust man, and the announcement of his death came as a great surprise to his many friends and acquaintances. Robert Smith, of Los Angeles, writes as follows to the Chicago Horse Review: "I have sold all but two of my horses, viz.: Bellemont, record last vear as a two- year-old 2:20$, bay filly by Zombro 2:11, dam by Alta- mont, and a bay colt by Peter the Great 2:07}, first dam a producing daughter of Sultan, second dam Beulah (dam of Beuzetta 2:06}, Early Bird 2:10, etc.). Bellemont won the Futurity (California) for two-year- olds last year, and obtained her record, which, 1 believe, was the fastest for two-year-old fillies for the year. The Peter the Great colt was worked by Jos. Thayer, Lexington, Ky., as a three-vear-old and trotted a mile in 2:21. I put him to pacing and he stepped a mile in 2:11 J last week. He can step a quarter In 0:30, so I have hopes of him being a fair horse. We are much pleased with the outlook of our coming meeting July 3-8, to which we have gotten about 190 entries, and we fully expect a revival of the harness horse interest. Miles from 2:08 to 2:10 are of daily occurrence at the track and it looks to me that it will be a good horse that gets the money in most of theclasBes." ,'TOE 24, 1905) ©tte gveebev anb ^povtsman EASTERN ITEMS. mm Gen.

Major Muscovite's mile in 2:111 at Baltimore is the race record for the season . Zeliea Morgan a half sister to Dan Patch 1:56 has a bay colt by Klatawah 2:05i at Oxford, Ind. At Louisville recently Chas. Van Meter worked his two year-old Boreal 2:15} colt a mile in 2:241. This fast baby is called Trivial and is from Traitress by Trevlllian 2:081. Jack Kinney is training a big stable of horses at Dever, N. H., and has ridden the fastest mile of the season over there behind Gyp Walnut 2:081 This gelding has paced a mile in 2:12, last half in 1:02 with the last quarter in 29} seconds, and the railbirds say he is a 2:05 horse. Harry Snyder is a recent arrival at the Columbus, O. , track with a string of five. He has the sensational half mile track campaigners Dick O'Donnell 2:08}, Elmwood 2:091 and some very promising green material. This string is the property of Geo. W. Millikan, Montpelier, Ind. Lena Russell 2:091, owned by B. R. Latta, Tekamah, Neb., has a fine horse colt by Colbert 2:07J. The trotting gelding Dan T. 2:071 recently worked in 2:121 at the Point Breeze track, Philadelphia. Terrace Queen 2:061 wa3 beaten by Prank Wilson 2:061 in her first start in the Pittsburg matinees. The fast little mare Angiola 2:081 has trotted Beveral quarters at a two minute gait at the Wheaton track. The Canadian bred pacer Refleotor 2:07} by Du- plex died recently at Stayner, Ont. He was foaled in 1887. Dick McMahon has shifted Roscoe Medium 2:131 to the pace and think he will drive him in about 2:06 this fall. P. B. Lang is out with a letter saying that the owner of Belle Mc 2:041 can get on a match any time with Ecstatic 2:051. Smith & Perry, of Chicago, have seeured the betting privilege for the Grand Circuit meetings at Detroit and Buffalo. An appropriation of $60,000 is practically assured by the Wisconsin legislature for making improvements at the State Fairgrounds. Panella 2:13, dam of Sadie Mc. 2:11* and Todd 2:14} has been bred to Moko instead of Peter the Great 2:071 as was recently reported. Adverta(3)2:251, trial 2:14} by Advertiser 2:151, has recently been sold to Mr. D. G. Palmer, Rochester, N. Y., and goes into the stable of W. L. Snow. Robert Mc 2:10} is working nicely at the Indian- apolis track and is slated for a trip down the Grand Circuit. He is in the hands of Trainer Rice at present but will be raced by Float Jolly. The $5000 Transylvania Stake to be trotted at Lex- ington received fifteen nominations but as starters do not have to be named until September 1st it is im- possible to give an idea of the possible starters. Major Muscovite 2:07 is up to his old tricks again, and started in his season's campaign at Baltimore by beating Frank Yoakum 2:05| and Nerva Patchen 2:08 easily in straight heats. The fastest time is 2:111- Next year all eyes will be on the Todd-Paronella colt owned by R. C. Estill, Lexington. This youngster is only a yearling and is now runniDg in pasture but trotted a quarter at a 2:20 gait before the first of June. A match has at last baen arranged between Sweet Marie 2:04} and her rival of last season, Tiverton 2:04}. Secretary Jewett of Boston arranged the race, which is for a purse of $2500 and is to beheld at Readville on August 2d. H. R. Murray, owner of the Monarchial Stock Farm, died recently at his home in Canastota, N. Y. Mr. Murray was one of the prominent breeders in New York state and has bred a number of prominent trot- ters and pacers. George D'Arcy of Dorcester, Mass., has had the misfortune to lose the filly by Bingen 2:061 out of Bonnets o' Blue 2:161- She was named in all the futurities and her breeding indicated that she would learn to trot some. Millard Sanders is evidently not a bit superstitious as he has thirteen horses in his stable at Cleveland, all of which are working just to suit him. Tom Ax- worthy 2:08} has turned a mile in 2:13} and his two younger Biate-a have beaten 2:25. A match for $1000 came off June 3d, at the Eagle track, Philadelphia, between M J. Hallahan's trotting mare Sallie T., and J. McPhillips' pacer J. M. C. The mare beat the gelding in 2:33}, 2:36}, 2:34}. J. M. C. won the second beat in 2:35}. It has been authoritatively announced that there will be no Grand Circuit meeting at Empire City track this year. This is to be greatly regretted as the track near Yonkers was a fine place to race and the meeting there last year was one of the best down the line. We understand that tbe party who recently bought the Prodigal gelding Limerick 2:14} and took him away from Hartford, Conn., gave hiB name t*> a Hart- ford gentleman but was careful not to mention his initials. Both man and horse have been lost in the shuffle and it is suspected that Limerick may turn up In the slow classes down East under another name. The pacing stallion Dick Wil=on 2:08, reported to have died last winter, is now said to be on a ringing tour down East under the name of Tasberg and in the string of Bert Schaefer of Coatesville. Tasberg won a race at Prospect Park, a couple of weeks ago, but since then the horse and his driver have left for parts unknown. Walter M. Jermyn of New York has sold to Col. W. C. Greene his entire stable of speedway and matinee horses, including his wagons, harness, etc., for $10 000. The horses that changed owners were Mary Joe 2:19} by Endrino, Boralma'a Brother by Boreal 2:15}, Paul D. Kelly (1) 2:20| and Billings (2), trial 2:09|, by Birchwood 2:15. When theannouncement was madethat there would be no racing at Empire City track this year, Secre- tary Horatio N. Bain, of Poughkeepsie, immediately announced that his association would hold a meeting during the week left open for the Empire City track and that the stakes and purses would be up to the regulation Grand Circuit calibre. J. E. Goldberg of Detroit has sold to Vance Nuckols of Cleveland the fast pacing gelding Wayne King 2:091 by Atlantic King 2:09}. He will be sent to Eng- land. Mr. Goldberg saw Pacific King by Diablo work in 2:12} while in Cleveland and was so impressed with him that he paid Nuckols his price for him and left him in the latter's hands to campaign. An esteemed contemporary of Chicago must have a grudge against driver Ben Walker when it suggests him as the "driver" of an air-ship that is being built forC. B. Knox, the Gelatine man, of Johnstown, N. Y., and that will be used for advertising purposes at tbe Lewis & Clark Exhibition at Portland, Oregon. Isn't asking him to drive hoppled pacers risk enough? A correspondent to a Rhode Island daily says: A horse owned by a Pawtucket clam-digger featured in a head-on collision with a big Winton car late Friday night, jumping into the benzine buggy and trying to find out which erank to pull to make the machine go faster. The horse was removed from the seat with some difficulty but got to market with his load of clams. The Winton had to lay up in the middle of the road. Thomas Lawson's string of horses from the famous Dreamwold Farm is located at Readville and consists of about fifteen head. The older horses are what are known among the trainers as Mr. Arnold Lawson's matinee string, and include Boralma 2:07, and he was never looking better or going better gaited, though 2:27} is the best mile he has been required to step; The Baroness 2:14} by Baronet 2:11 J, Julia Arthur 2:20 by Jackdaw, Maid o' Dreamwold, and Milady of Dreamwold by Mendocino. The $3000 McDowell stake for 2:09 trotters to be decided at the Lexington meeting received twenty- one entries and will bring together one of the greatest fields of trotters ever seen at the famous old track. Redlac, Angiola, Tom Axworthy, Maxine, Lisonjero, Mas6tto, George Muscovite, John Taylor, Direct View and Judge Green, all with records of 2:09 or better; Grace Bond, Anaconda, Bonnie Russell, 2:10 or better; Country Jay 2:101; Zephyr 2:11; John Cald- well and Barongale 2:111; Sonata 2:121; Choir Boy 2:171, w'to a reported trial of 2:06, make up the sensa- tional field. Isaac Eckert, of Reading, Pa., has purchased of Guss Macey, of Lexington, the trotting gelding Country Jay 2:10J and the price reported was close to $8000. This price is rather a long one considering the fact that Country Jay has not been raced for three years and was supposed to be a hopeleBs cripple but he is training sound this spring and last week trotted in 2:10. He is thought to be one of the fastest trotters in his class and will be entered extensively down East. Country Jay's last campaign was in 1900 when he won a number of good races down the Grand Circuit and beat many of tbe best trotters with faster records than he had at the time. Cultivating and Developing Action. While all keen horsemen insist that high action is natural, there exists no doubt that it may be cultivated. The art of developing action cannot be acquired all at once. It requires practical experience, and it is quite possible that if a man without experience should at- tempt to do it, simply acting from instructions, he might practically spoil horses that under different handling would have been made good actors. The peculiarities of each animal must be studied, and the animal treated accordingly. This applies particularly to the weight of shoes to be worn. Most horses act better with heavy shoes, but some require much heavier than otherB, and the trainer tnu6t study and experiment with shoes of different weights in order to ascertain just how the subject should be shod, in order to enable him to do his best. Then, again a horse that does not go straight in front, that either paddles or rolls, can be improyed by careful Bhoeing, and the trainer should understand these points, and be able to give the shoeing-smith instructions. On general principles, in order to develop action, it is necessary to shoe with rolling motion shoes, both fore and rear, and the shoes must be of that weight which suits the individual. It is usually safer to com- mence with a shoe of about one pound weight in front, twelve ounces behind, and as the animal becomes ac- customed to going, gradually increase the weight, until, in some cases, nearly twice thiB weight is worn. Exercise is usually given on the lungeing reiD, and the practice of exercising through deep straw, snow or water, reaching about to the knees, causes him to flex both knees and hocks, and gets his feet high, and at the same time tends to develop shoulder and 6tifle action, and increases the length of stride. He should be given exercise twice daily, but should never be given sufficient to tire him, or cause what is some- times called "leg-weariness," as a tired horse will not act well. Trotting horses in a stream of water about the depth named has given good reBultB, but where this is not convenient straw does well. Some recom- mend logs or other solid objects, but I do not like it, as if the horse makes a mistake he may bump his leg sufficiently hard to cause lameneBS, and possibly have a permanent blemish. It is claimed that if he hits himself and it hurts, it will cause him to go higher and not hit again, hut I am of the opinion that auch radical measures are better untried, and that action had better be gradually developed in safer wsjs. When the trainer has not the time or the incline t:< n to train the horses on the line, but wants to do the training in harness, he should get them shod as stated, and drive them with Liverpool bits, with a little curb, sufficient to cause the mouth to be slightly drawn towards the breast. He should drive them a little twice daily, make them drive up well at the time, teach them to walk well, and, when trotting, keep them well in hand, and bearing slightly upon the bitF, and never, under any circumstances, drive far or long enough to tire them. — Spirit of the West. Splan's New Way of Buying Horses. Writing from Lexington recently Joe Markey has the following to Bay: John Splan has Bi-Flora, the Expedition mare, about ready to go to the races. She worked in 2:13}last week and did it like it was play for her. Splan likes her very much, as do all the other trainers. He will race her in some of the stakes on the Gas Belt Circuit also at Hamline, Milwaukee and Liberty ville. Last Friday John had a deal of fun with Duke, who is training some of Benyon's horses. In Duke's buncb is a bay trotter that is called the Syndicate horBe because of being owned by a group of the boys working for Benyon. Duke offered to show Splan a mile in 2:15 and asked $1500 for the steed. Splan came back with a proposition to pay the price. "But," said he, "for every second better than 2:15 he goes I will give $250, providing you will throw off the same amount for every second slower than 2:15 he goes. " Duke assented and the trial came off. Syndicate, under a terrific drive, came home riding on the breeching, all in, in 2:21. Now Splan claims the horBe, Bans payment. There was much amusement at Duke's expense. Angle by Axtell 2:12, George Saunders' M. & M. trotter, is reported in splendid condition at Cleveland. The "knockers" have predicted that Angle might be a very fast mare "and all that," but when Saunders came to work her in company she would be erratic and on ber bad behavior. Up to a few weeks ago she was given work by herself, but since that time Saun- ders works her in company with the trotting stallion Brownie Wilton 2:10, and to the surprise of the wise ones the mare has acted nicely up to date, scoring on a trot and stickiDg to it every foot of the route. A mile in 2:15} recently was a mere jog for her, and while Brownie Wilton has given every evidence of being a high-clasB prospect for honors in the 2:10 class, Angle can outstep him any spot or place In the mile. Germ Diseases. Most of tho troubles horsemen experience with their horses and colts oome from germ diseases suoh as lalluenza, pinkeye, catarrhal (ever and the various forms of distemper. Hundreds of horses die every year from these diseases and hundreds of others will never recover from their effect. The modern idea being that these diseases are oaused by germs, a single case may be the cause of thousands of other cases; and one sick horso In a neighborhood may communicate tbe disease to all tho animals with which they oome In contact. Preventive measutes should be taken In all cases. Not a case should be allowed to develop. The majority of developed cases leaves the animal weak In some part of the body, and it is almost certainly doomed to a forlorn and blemished life when the usual mode of treatm nt Is followed The proper thlnij to do is to eradicate the germs of disease from the system by tho administration of a reliable germ killer such as Crafts Cure, advertised elsewhere In our columns. This r only safe reliable germicide and preventive that can Internal use. Its use is recommended to all our r ®ite gveebev attb gpcxt&niaxt [June 24, 1905 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL. Condncted Ijt J- X.

William Charles Harris, who was regarded as an authority on fish and fishing, died June IS, in Bellevue Hospital, New York. He was 78 years old, and up to a few weeks ago had contributed regularly to Outing. Mr. Harris, several years ago, while on a visit to this State met many of the Coast anglers, by whom he will be remembered as a most congenial sportsman and a happy raconteur of angling subjects. Harris served in the Civil War, was taken prisoner at Balls Bluff, and was released after seven months' confinement in Libby Prison, and later commanded Company H. of Gsneral Raker's California brigade. He had at various times been editor and publisher of Field and Afloat, American Aiiglerand Fishing Gazette. He was also editor of several works on fish and fishing. He leaves one son, Henry R., who was interested in the publication of the Fishing Gazette. The son re- sides at Mills Hotel No. 1, New York City. GROVER CLEVELAND HAS "JINED." The California Anglers' Association has elected for- mer President Grover Cleveland an honorary mem- ber, and Mr. Cleveland has accepted in a character- istic letter. ■'This association, which has for its object the encouragement of promotion of that spirit of good fellowship among its members wh?ch make for their mutual enjoyment in their innocent and enchanting pastime made famous by Izaak Walton, the patron saint of piscatorial sport, and a cultivation of a true and robust manhood which is developed by outdoor life while angling along the mountain streams that run 'limpid and laughing' through the valleys and canyons of our beautiful State, and also the observance and enforcement of tbe lawsso neeessary to the propa- gation and preservation of the game fishes that inhabit the waters of California, finds a true champion in the former President." His letter of acceptance is as follows: Princeton, June 4. John H. Samrai, Esq., President, Etc. — Dear Sir: Recent absence from home and slight indisposition has caused some confusion iD my correspondence, and I am in doubt concerning my acknowledgement of your letter notifying me of my election as an honorary member of the California Anglers' Association. I desire now to express my sincere thanks for the honor thus conferred, and to assure you of my un- reserved approval and appreciation of the objects of the organization. Very truly yours, Grover Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland was elected a member April 25th last. His name was proposed by George Wentworth and seconded by A. Zankovich and Clarence J. Ashlin. A PISCINE TRAGEDY. According to C. E. Barling of Bouldin island, San Joaquin county, there is a deplorable loss of game and other fish, which were swept into Bouldin island at the time of the breaking of the levee on March 21st last. Thousands of fish are now dying there, and no effort is being made to save them, nor can such be at this late day. After the closing of the break, some 100 or more tons of fish, it is claimed, were impounded over an area of land comprising 6600 acres, the water on this tract averaging in depth from 1 to 15 feet. As long as the water kept at a temperature not in excess oT 60 degrees the fish thrived and spawned. Fisher- men set their Dets and caught immense quantities of stripped bass, carp, catfish and other varieties, but the beginning of the end came when it was decided uch valuable land as Bouldin island was not adding to the bounty of its owners under a sheet of water fostering thousands upon thousands of fish. It oided to drain off tbe water, estimated at some ions of gallons, and a pumping plant was in- stalled with a capacity of 2,000,000 gallons per minute. As the water became lower, the thousands of fish ap- peared to be like one huge moving mass. The area is tout twenty acres in all, and in this the tons of ib, Mthanouiil trials, . John Whl 1000.

Since the installation of the city's new sewer system the like will be immune from further pollution. In consequence, Hon. W. E. Gerber of the Board of Fish Commissioners has notified Mayor Eckhart that the Commission is ready to stock the lake with bass fry, an offer which has been accepted much to tbe anticipated joy of the angling fraternity of that district. SALMON FISHING. Salmon are now running well at both Capitola and Monterey, but no reports have been received from Santa Cruz as yet. Many of the prominent fish experts are making weekly pilgrimages to Monterey and Capitola looking fcr salmon. There has been a big run on that side of tbe bay and good fishing has been enjoyed by those who ventured out. Salmon begun runniDg at Capitola last Sunday in earnest, and a number of persons had good luck. Cantaln Mitchell has his launch at Capitola and like all the others has trips engaged for weeks ahead. Jack Rawlings and Jack Kelley caugbt 14salmon together at Capitola last Sunday. Eugene Prindiville caught 9 and O. A. Hale 11 on the same day. A party composed of J. Cousins J. Foley and H. Morris of San Jose, and A. Korn and W." Morris of this city, last Sunday made one of the record catches of salmon for this seasoo. Tbe salmon caught ran from 8 to 30 pounds in weight. They used small smelt for bait instead of sardines. Yellowtail are also much in evidence off Monterey and serve as an exciting incidental to the sport of salmon trolling. FLIES AND LEADERS. Bay fishing for smelt and rockfish has been excel- lent for the past week. Big catches of rockfish have been taken around Angel island, smelt have been plentiful in the waters off the west side of Belvidere. Two handline fishermen had a lively experience off Bluff point, on the Marin shore of the straits, last Sunday. It was low tide, and in one of the rocky pools of the reef extending out from the point, the men in the boat noticed quite a commotion in the water. Bting curious to ascertain the cause, they approached the spot closer and discovered that the splashing was caused by a large fish. In their eager- ness to make a capture the boat was overturned and both men received a ducking. The fish was then secured by one of the men. It was found to be alarge quinnat salmon weighing over 20 pounds, that had in some uaaccountable manner become securely wedged in between the rocks and made a prisoner until tbe rockcod fishers came along and pulled tbe imprisoned fiBh out and lugged it kicking and splashing to the nearby beach. There was, during the week, quite a run of small sized striped bass in the San Pablo fishing waters. Striped bass angling in Lake Merritt has improved decidedly during the past week. A number of good sized fish have been taken, one boat accounted last Sunday for 17 bass, most of them 3 and 4 pounders however. Messrs. Dewar, Bell, McGilvary, Murray, Reed and Lucas of Marysviile went to Butte slough two weeks ago on a fishing expedition and caught twelve big black bass, the largest weighing nearly six pounds. Tbey also caugnt a few other fish. They used spoon hooks. An angler writing from Webber lake on the 15th inst. reports that good fishing was then just beginning the fish bad previously taken to the depths of tbe lake by reason of severe thunder storms prevailing. The weather is getting warmer and fly fishing was improv- ing. For spoon fishing the Nos. 1 and 0 Stewart spoons were popular lures. Black bass fishing in Ballard's lake near Olivette station, has attracted much attention recently. Most of the fish taken were caught with a fly— a number 6 book with a large red body, wound with gold tinsel and having duck wings, of about the color of the wings on a black gnat fly. Within the week, it is stated, the fish began to reject the fly and anglers have had recourse to other lures. Russian river continues to afford splendid bass fish- ing. Reports from Duncans and the vicinity of Guer- nevllle have been so encouraging as toinvite a number of rodsters to visit the river for diversion with the black bass. Mr. George Shreve received this week a box of fine large trout from Rev. Thos. Filben, who is at present enjoying the good fishing at Klamath Hot Springs. BLACK BASS FOB MARVSVILLE. anglers who heietofore have had to go to Feather river for their sport with black bass, and L hey catch betimes, will, in the near future, do their fish.ing within the city limits, in it three or four blocks from the business center of that thriving burg. The streams in the Hetch Hetchy valley were plen- tifully stocked last year, in consequence the fishing this season is good enough to satisfy the most ardent angler. The Santa Fe road is now in touch with the valley, thus making a trip easy and comfortable for anglers. This region is practically virgin territory and will no doubt soon become a rioted trout fishing resort. Dr. Ed Jones, writing from Castella od the 20tb, states that fly-fishing is excellent at that point: he caught nineteen nice fish in two hours on Tuesday morning. J Fly-fishing on the Upper Sacramento and McCloud will, it is believed, coutinue good until the spawning salmon appear when the trout will change their diet— taking the substance instead of the shadow. Among the anglers at Ballards lake recently were: Wm. Street, Chas. Breidenstein, who caught sixty fish, weighing forty pounds, last Saturday. Jabez Swan and wife made a three weeks1 stay there. Jack Sammi, wife and son are now enjoying a three weeks' June 24, 1905] C£ite gveeitev cutis gipuvtstnan 9 outing at the lake. Chas.

It is the intention of the organization to build a club house at the lake some time in the near future, so that the man behind the gun and the man at one end of the rod may have proper quarters while in search of sport on the club's reserve. Hunting and fishing at the lake is now strictly for- bidden to anyone outside the club who are not guests of members, and all trespassers will be subjected to prosecution according to the law, 78.2 95.8 85 2 97^5 Sunday Contest No. 7.

GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. CALIFORNIA DUCK SHOOTING. Hunting conditions in this State are happily epitomized by an observing sportsman who says: Every duck known to frequent the temperate zone and all varieties of birds that feed upon the waters and their margins, of that territory, are found in this favored land. The most numerous are the widgeon, teal, sprig, gad well, canvasback, redhead, butterball, ruddy, sawbill, Mexican tree duck, bluebill, black- jack, cinnamon teal, brownhead or whistler, mallard and spoonbill. These with the curlew, avocet, marlin, bullhead plover, black: ibis, yellowleg, English or Wilson snipe and other species of waterfowl, make up a selection that can hardly be found in any other portion of the United StateB not excepting the famous hunting grounds of Chespeake bay or the Everglades of Florida. The hunter here has the advantage of a delightful'climate during the season when the ice king holds Atlantic waters in his grasp, rendering ducking sport attended with terrible exposure instead of being a delightful recreation. Neither is he confined to one sport here, but has the choice of marsh, tule or bay- shore shooting. BIG BASIN ROAD OPEN, Pleasant news to anglers and outing parties is the completion of the Big Basin State Park road which was opened to the public last Sunday. Under the auspices of the Boulder Creek Promotion Club a series of competitive speed tests were held between the sup- porters of the old road and the new. Leaving Governor's Camp, in the park, in automo- biles and carriages the supporters of the two roads madly raced for the finish, a line in front of the Com- mercial Hotel in Boulder Creek. The new road was in each case victorious. Where the trip formerly took two and a half hours, on the new road it can be made in one hour and ten minutes. Undoubtedly the new road will prove the favorite route to the park. It may be well to mention here that one of the staunchest advocates and workers for the opening of the Big Basin Park and its advantages and pleasant attendant features has been Mr. W. W. Richards of this city. FOLSOM GUN AND ROD CLUB. The Folsom Gun and Rod Club is now fully organized with a membership limited to twenty, and has elected the following officers: president, Geo. P. Gerber; secretary and treasurer, P. C. Cohn ; board of directors, George Brock, Wm, Dormody, George Imhoff and Peter Donnelly; committee on laws and regulations, Archibald Yell, Dr. G. C. Glading, Charles Taylor and George Gerber. The club has leased for a term of years the lake on the Daily ranch, which is stocked with black base, and these fish will be propagated and also protected in accordance with the fish laws of this State, in order that the members may have good fishing during the open season. The club members also expect to enjoy some good duck hunting on the lake, but during the coming year but little shooting will be done there by the members, and no guests will be invited to shoot there until after a year has passed. On June 1st a big scow, built especially for the club, was launched with due ceremony by five members of the club. It was christened "Maud," and as the com- fortable craft slid into the placid waters of the lake "just like a duck" a bottle of champagne was con- sumed by those present in commemoration of the event. That day marked the opening of the bass season and the members succeeded in catching a fine LIVE BIRD DECISION. The Supreme Court of New Jersey has placed a damp r on the spirits of sportsmen in rendering on June 12th a decision which puts a ban on live bird shooting in that State and in consequence establishes a precedent for similar action in other States — barring the chance of a favorable opinion by the higher tri- bunal, the Court of Error and Appeals, to which judicial body the case, it is expected, will be taken on appeal. Justice Fort, of the Supreme Couit of New Jersey, in an opinion rendered sustained the constitutionality of the act of April 12, 1904, under which the shooting of live pigeonsfrom traps is prohibited in New Jersey. To test the act two members of the Riverton Gun Club, Charles W. Davis, ol the Colonnade Hotel, Phila- delphia, and Rudolph F. Harned, an officer of the club, each shot at one pigeon on the club grounds and were arrested, indicted and fined $85 each and costs. They appealed from the conviction. To test every phase of the law, Davis killed his bird, which was shipped to a Boston market for sale and Harned missed bis entirely. The court holds that the question of a bird being killed or escaping does not affect the liability of the person making of it a target. Technical objections were raised against the act on the ground that its title was defective; but the real fight was upon the issue that pigeons are property, and may be disposed of by the owner as he sees fit On this point the Supreme Court says: "It is not a curtailment of the right of property to prevent a person from using his animals or fowls as a target, whether to be shot at for amusement or as a test of skill in marksmanship. Under the police power the Legislature may prescribe how animals may be killed by their owners, in order that they may be used for food. They may fix by statute the time, places and manner of such killing. By limiting *,he method or prescribing the manner of killing, they do not infringe upon the rights of property owners." NEW FISB AND GASIE ASSOCIATION. The Alameda County Fish and Game Protective Association was organized on the 10th inst in Liver- more. A meeting of Livermore sportsmen and others interested in protecting the fish and game in Liver- more */allev and the surrounding mountains was held in tne Sweeney Opera House. Deputy Fish Commis- sioner W. R. Welch was present and explained the need of an organization to aid the State and county authorities in enforcing the game law. An organiza- tion was effected on the plan outlined and it was de cided to call it the Alameda County Fish and Game Protective Association, being made more compre- hensive than at first intended in order to secure the co-operation of the sportsmen of other sections of the county. ■ The Livermore list of membership started with fifty-five names. Mr. Lee Wells reported a list of twenty or more eligibles from Pleasanton and Mr A. W." Feidler is canvassing for membership among the sportsmen of Oakland. By giving the association a coloring of county organization it will wield more influence while the headquarters will be near to the district it is desired to protect. By-laws were adopted which are uniform with those adopted by other simi- lar associations. The following were elected officers for the ensuing year: W. H. Wright, president; C. L. Powell, vice- president; A. L. Henry, secretary; H. B. Varney, treasurer; trustees, Thos. Green, A. W. Fiedler, T. E. Knox, H. W. Morrill, John McGlinchy together with the above-named officers of the association. The movement has taken hold and much enthusiasm is shown in the progressof the association A meeting of the trustees was held on Tuesday when it was decided to hold theregularmeetingsof the association on the second Saturday of each quarter. The secre- tary was instructed to make application to the State Fish Commission for 30,000 young trout, which will be planted in the headwaters of the Arroyo Valle and the Arroyo Mocho, probably early in August as that is the season when mountain streams are stocked. Thos. Green was instructed to prepare and have printed notices, relative to enforcing the game law which will be posted throughout the mountains. among those who have not shot many seasons.

Charlie Matthews, formerly an employee of the California Powder Works, in company with Jack Carman, have opened a hunter's retreat at Sobrante. Trap and pigeon shooting grounds have been fitted up, all kinds of boats and fishing tackle is furnished to visitors, meals are cooked to order and clam bakes prepared on short notice. The resort is very highly spoken of by those who have paid it a visit, and the best treatment is assured all who will favor the retreat with a call. A bus meets all trains that stop at Giant station. _ AT THE TRAPS. The Union Gun Club shoot at Ingleside, last Sun- day, the fourth .for t.he season of '05, was well attended.

The offer by the San Francisco Kennel Club of a standing reward of *100 and $50 for the arrest and conviction respectively of a dog poisoner or a dog thief in violation of Section 596 and Sections 484-491 of theCalifornia Penal Code applies only to malefactors of the brand mentioned who are prosecuted and punished for such violation of the law within the limits of the City and County of San Francisco, so we are Informed this week by Secretary Fred P. Butler. STOCKTON KENNEL CLUB. The interest and enthusiasm taken by the Stockton fpnoiers in the recently organized club and the coming show Is unabated. An Important meeting of the club was held June 16th in the parlors of the Yosemite Hotel. There was a large attendance and a number of new members were enrolled, among them fanciers hailing from different mountain towns and as far away as Sacramento and Santa Rosa. The member- ship committee will compile lists of prospective mem- bers and secure as many new signatures on the roll of membership as possible. The initiation fee is $1 and monthly dues are 50 cents, surely a strong induce- ment to join the club. The club proposes to offer a reward of $50 for the arrest and conviction of dog thieves and poisoners who violate the laws of the State in itB immediate jurisdiction. Application will be made to the A. K. C. for membership. It is anticipated that a majority of dog owners and fanciers in the San Joaquin valley counties will join the club. Indications for a very large entry in the coming show this fall are most promising. The Pointer entries will have a rousing Bend-off, there being at present between 60 and 70 of the breed rep- resented. The San Joaquin district is almost an ideal Pointer country — in fact, during the dove shooting season a Pointer is about the only dog that can work to the gun comfortably on a hot day in the stubble fields. A NOTED LEASHMAN UUKK E. H. Mulcaster, who has been called the "Father of American Coursing, " was found dead at an early hour this week one morning at Union Coursing Park. He died of natural causes. Mulcaster was born in the north of England in 1850. He came of a good old family and was a veterinary surgeon by profession. His father, who died recently, was a famous cross- country rider and trained one of the winners of the Liverpool Grand National. The son also rode many races between the flags until Increasing weight kept him on the ground. He had no equal as a trainer of Greyhounds. When he came to America about fifteen years ago he bought a stock farm at Fox Lake, Michigan. He turned his attention to Greyhounds while located in that place, and it waB his stock from which developed the be6t American strains. Sir Robert Jardine, an English sportsman, was one of his friends. He sent him the Greyhounds Glenkirk, Dover, Gilda, the grandam of Roman Athlete, and others He won the first Ameri- can Waterloo cup in 1895 with Gilkirk, by Glenkirk- Gilda, while his Greyhound Diana was runner-up. When he came to California with a string of hounds be continued his successes. He won the first John Grace cup stake with Fear Not, Klrkglen, from his kennels, being runner-up. He bred and owned Hot Stuff, Hadiwist and many otherB. He revolutionized training methods here. Up to the last he was a hard worker, being out on the road at daybreak with whatever dogs were under his care. He was insepara- ble from hiB dogs. Night or day he never left their company. It was his custom to sleep with his favor- ites, over whom he watched with zealous care. James Sweeney found the pioneer of coursing prone upon the threshold of hiB pets' kennels. Evidently he was about to seek his accustomed abode with the fleet-footed hounds when hiB heart failed him. trainers. There are many fine dogs, literally going to waste, in British Columbia. The amateur handlers there do the best they can and the single professional in B. C. cannot begin to handle 25% of the dogs offered him. The grounds selected for the trials, September 21st, is most favorable territory for a generally mountain- ous country, being as level as the Manitoba prairies, and is similar to those grounds, with the exception that the fences are a bit numerous. The trials will be run near Ladner, which is easily reached from Victoria. The dogs are worked on Mongolian pheasants and they are at present very plentiful. Wm. Bay sold this week a handsome four months old Irish Water Spaniel dog puppy, by Ch. Our Chance out of Rowdy Girl, to Will J. Golchei'. The puppy is unexceptionable in breeding and should turn out to be a capable working dog. Entries for the Santa Cruz show close June 26tb, Monday next. TRADE NOTES. A SPLENDID PAPER. The iBsue of Field and Fancy for June 3rd is replete with good thinge. The tid bit being a history of the American Kennel Club which is full of data of more than passing interest to the fancy. The biographical sketches and portraits of leading fanciers and breeders, and other illustrated matter, are worthy the attention of everyone interested in dogs. Taken as a whole the Issue is a creditable piece of kennel journalistic enter- prise, we commend it to our readers. PACIFIC CCAST TRIALS. Indications are favorable for a splendid list of Derby entries for the stake to be lun next January. The kennels of MeBSrs. Tevis, Terry, Van Arsdale will have a strong representation. J. W. Flynn, will have some Senator P. youngsters In the Pointer candidates. Kenwood Kennels, it is reported, will be sponsor for some good ones. Genial "Billy" Dormer has put in good time on his young dogs. In fact the list of sportsmen who are interested in the coming trials is a long and growing one. Mr. H. W. Keller of Santa Monica reoently bred his bitch Sombra to a grand young dog, Sir Roderick owned by John H. Schumacher of Los Angeles. En- tries for the Derby close July 1st. The Millwood Gun Club shoot at Mill Valley junc- lion tomorrow should be well attended by members Bjd visitors, this being the only regular burning bill of fare for the day.

BRITISH COLUMBIA TRIALS. Mr. H. S. Rolston, Secretary of the British Colum- bia Field Trials Club writes that the entry this year will be much better than heretofore. Major J. M. T lylor of Ruthyen, N. J., will judge. The Major' is a favorite with northern sportsmen and will, no doubt, driwmany entries. Mr. Thos. Pllmley of Viotoria has judged the trials several times and always has given entire satisfaction. It is believed however that a new judge would create more or lesB interest, par- ticularly a gentleman of Major Taylor' b standing.

There's no denying them, they are the most potent evidence. The facts in regard to the big tournament of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association, held at Lincoln, 111., May 23d, 24th and 25th, are that, wi th the exception of one, every event, includihg the "Big State Event" for the Board of Trade Diamond Medal, value $750, by W. R. (Billy) Crosby, and tho high averages, both profes- sional and amateur, were won with Winchester "Leader" shells. These are facts. What do they evidence? That Winchester Bhotgun shells are used by the best shots, both amateur and professional, be- cause they are always reliable and thus give the best results obtainable. As further evidence of this, the Minnesota State Championship, which was competed for at the tournament of the Minneapolis Gun Club, May 23rd and 24th, was won with the Winchester "Repeater" shells and also the high amateur average for the shoot, the winners being respectively Mr. Evander and Mr. Moulton. These important win- nings, made simultaneously at different places with Winchester goods, show very plainly their popularity with the best, and of course the winning, shots and explain why Winchester "Leader" and Winchester "Repeater" shells are called "The Shells the Cham- pions Shoot." SOME SPLENDID RECORDS BY AMATEURS. At the New York State Shoot held at Utica, June 14th, 15th and 16th, Mr. Jay Greene of Avon, N. Y., shooting the Parker gun, broke 147 out of 160, 148 out of 160 and 144 out of 165 for the three days, making a total of 438 out of 485, and winning second amateur high average. Mr. Greene is shooting remarkably well with the "Old Reliable" Parker. At the same shoot J. R. Hull, shooting and representing the Par- ker gun, broke 150 and 146 respectively, making a total of 296 for the two days. At Washington, D. C, first and second high ama- teur averages were won by Lester German and Wm. Wagner, respectively, both shooting the Parker gun. At Shamokin, Pa., on June 9tb, R. C. Derk scored 96% with his Parker, gun, breaking 192 out of 200, with ene run of 83 straight and 99 out of his last 100. Fred Coleman still shooting his usual gait, with the "Old Reliable" Parker, on June 6th, at Florist, Pa., broke 48 out of 50. On June 8th at Westchester, Pa., Mr. Coleman broke 145 out of 155. On June 10th at Meadow Spring, Pa., 95 out of 100. At Camden, Ark., Mr. Ed. Brady, an amateur shooting the Parker gun broke 390 out of 420, winning second high average. Mr. Brady is a remarkable Bhooter for an amateur, and these records prove the reliability beyond a ques- tion of a doubt, of the Parker gun. June 24 1905 1 ®he <§veeiiev anti grpartematt 11 THE FARM. Is the Practice Right? Cross Breds as Feeders. Why mis slop for the hogs? It is forc- ing them to take more drink than they need. You will see them nose around in the ewill for the solids and not drink the liquids after they have had a little. A hog will make a hog of himself when swilled, says Kimball's Dairy Farmer. The feed is in Buch a condition he can gulp it down without chewing. Most hogs have plenty of time they don't have to eat as fast aa a man at a railroad lunch counter. I've often watched hogs eat. They run from ear to ear, or carry one along spend- ing more time trying to get the whole feed than in eating. When it comeB to drink they rush to the trough with you, upsetting your dignity if you are not care- ful, then pile up in the trough where you pour in the water. After a sip they are off again to the corn. You could carry a dozen pails of water to them and they would repeat the performance. If it was rich swill or milk they would gorge them- selves and not leave a drop. It Bhowa that they know enough to quit when it is only water offered. This has led me to think that a better way could be found. Joseph E. Wing told at the Amea short course how he feeds his hogB with a self feeder. Puts the grain in there and the water in another place. The hogs eat when they please and as much as they pleaae. They are compelled to eat slowly, and chew the dry feed for they can't hog it down. He said they did not waste a bit. What got rooted or pushed out fell on the feeding platform and was picked up. I don't believe aour swill ia any better for hogs than sour soup is for man. One day sour and one day sweet ia not right. The sour swill barrel is a good breeding place for disease germs. It is little won- der that the country auffera such hog loasea each year when we consider what the hog has to eat. Out in the alfalfa country where grass and water are the hog feed, there is very little loss of hogs. The dairyman who has skim-milk to feed his hogs, Bhould know that hia herd of cows ia free from tuberculosis. If he gets his milk from the creamery he should know it has been pasteurized. The hog is an over-fat animal predisposed to disease. We need to give more attention to his feed and shelter. He is naturally a clean animal if he can be. He will root in anything, if compelled to get his meals that way. • Sponges. S. Adderley, 307 Market St The breeding principles adopted by L. H. Kerrick, of Illinois, the world re- nowned cattle feeder, in establishing a type of Bteer for the most economical beef production should be adopted by the breeder of other kinds of live stock, says National Stockman, and then continues: Mr. Kerrick said in relating the story of his success at the Iowa State Institute that when he commenced the feeding business he could not find a breed of cattle that produced a type of steer exactly to his liking, but he could see all of the beef points in two breeds— viz, the Shorthorn and the Angus. So he pro- cured a lot of the best grade Shorthorn cows that he could pick up. Then he got an Ang^a bull aa near hia ideal type as could be had. From thia stock he pro- cured his feeding steers, keeping the beBt heifers for breeding stock. In all his after breeding he used the bull that was nearest his ideal beef type. Every one who baa kept in touch with the great cattle feederB of the country knows Mr. Kerrick'a success. He commenced about twenty years ago and waB successful from the Btart. Waa not his plan a Bhorter and better route to success than to have tried to get his type of beef ateer from some breed that did not have the type demanded except in very rare and remote instances? The fundamental principles of breeding are the same wherever applied. Rightly applied they mean progress, but if not they mean retrogression or at best little progress. cising, though confinement can only be brief, or health will finally suffer. Skim milk mixed with ground grains is a good fattening ration. Dry bread crumbs, mixed with one- quarter their weight of raw egg, then dried until not sticky, iB a fine food for young chicks or poults. If you wish to build up a good trade, stamp your eggs and label your boxes of carcasses, that he who eatB may know their source. But don't put your address on addled eggs or consignments of old roosters. The man who thinks a few mongrels, any old shed, a bag of musty corn, and a pail of stagnant water, are going to enrich his farm, will get left. Poultry culture used to be thought fit for women only, to make their "pin money." But it must be thought men'B business now, so many men are editing poultry papers. Anyway, raising 20th century poultry, takes brains, whether masculine or feminine. Curing diseased fowls is rarely worth while, because they are not likely to be "as good as new." They are likely to be- c me diseased again, and to perpeptuate the same sort of sickness in their off- CALIFORNIA NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY Through Picturesque California, The Ideal Route for Tie inner aii Ofltii Trios One day's ride from San Francisco will take you to some of the finest Trout Streams In the State.

The high con- ditioning required to secure a prize in any of the larger shows is too likely to react disastrously and the heifer is never the same afterwards. Some judges are very particular about grooming, show form and sawdust edu- cation. At the same time judges know that a rough, healthy heifer is more valuable than a sickly pampered animal with impaired indigestion. Utility is the greatest possible value in a cow. If she has dairy form and good constitution she is better in the rough than a finely educated animal that possesses leaB vigor and indifferent stay- ing qualities. Show ring conditions have become so exacting that many of the best breeders refuse to fit heifers for competi- tion. m Poultry Pointers. It is too much to aBk a chick to furnish- ing enough blood for its own growth and that of a colony of lice. Eout the ver- min and give chickie a show. A surplus rooBter is an expensive orna- ment in the poultry yard. Eat or sell the surplus roosters before they eat double their value. Time Bpent in learning to prevent poul- try diseases will be leBs than that spent in trying to effect cures. Don't wait for mites to appear before beginning to fight them. Whitewash the house twice a summer, and kerosene the perches every week or two. For confined chickens an excellent green food is onion tops, chopped fine and mixed in the mash twice a week. A noted breeder says whenever be hears much complaint of eggs not hatching, he is pretty Bure the layers were roupy the winter before. It hardly pays to Btarve chicks into eat- ing wheat they do not like. Cut it out of diet, and find other things. The cost of food to increase the live weight of chickens 100 lbs., is from $3 to $5 leBS when the birds are fed in crates, than when fed in yards. When a fowl is at rest, and food is turned into flesh in- stead of energy, it ia evident the same amount of food will lay more weight on the carcass than when the fowl ib exer- spring. Whitewashing poultry houses two or three times a year, with a little carbolic acid and coal oil in the wash, will largely prevent mites and lice. Let the wash be hot and thin, and put into all cracks. The chick does not come from the shell with grayel in its crop. Fine gravel should be furnished in the shape of sharp sand and powdered bone. Clean bedding is as necessary in duck houses, as in stables. Ducks will wash their feet and feathers, if given a chance, but only clean bedding can keep a whole- some air in their house. A successful poultryman offers the fol- lowing simple hints for keeping the young brood in health : Give clean water and plenty of grit, feed a variety of cracked and whole grains, mostly in a dry state ; keep chicks out of the grass in rain or dew.

In raising the young chicks it is a good plan to have no roost in their brood coops until tbev are at least half grown, and do not under any circumstanses allow them to roost on poles. We have in mind a breeder who last year made several small brooder houses with open wire fronts, to which the chicks were removed after be- ing weaned by the mother. These houses were provided with roost poles, and as it seems to be the nature of chickens to roost ae high as possible, tbey of course would roost on the poles. The result was that at the show last winter every one of the pullets were found to have crooked breast bones and cut from half to one point for this defect. Use plenty of clean straw on tbe floor and do not allow so many in a coop that they will be crowded. —Nortfactst Pacific Farmer.

E Newell, Esq. ,519 Mission St., SanFranolscu Dear Sir: — I have a standard bred "Cupid11 mare raised by Adolph Spreckels, the well-known Californian and horse breeder, and after driving her a few months a bad spavin showed itself. It was fired and blistered by a veterinary and tbe animal turned out for three months. The spavin was obstinate and the mare continued lame. I used two bottles of "Save-the-Horse" and a com- plete cure was the result. Yours, Geo. A. Knight. San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 4, 1904. Troy Medical Co. Gentlemen:— I have cured sprains, spavin and shoe boil with "Save-the-Horse." It certainly proved marvelcusly successful with me, and I dt not hesitate in recommending it for these ail ments.

The running horse Col Roosevelt, that had broken down in training for two or three years past, is now in good shape and will certainly be able to race as well as ever before.
