Searchlight 2:03J was shipped East to Kentucky last week. He has been very liberally patronized in California for the past three years, and leaves a numerous progeny here that should make him a repu- tation as a speed sire. Ed Benyon will race the young McKinney stallion Sterling McKinney, owned by Hon. Sterling R. Holt of Indianapolis. A fe v days before being shipped to Benyon he worked a mile in 2:24 and is very likely to take a very fast record this fall. Everything points to a high-class meeting largely attended. The California Circuit promises to be short but sweet this year. Not over six weeks of racing, but the purses will range from $500 to $2000. Kelly Briggs worked a mile in 2:07 fiat at Los Angeles last Saturday. Frank Wright has him in fine shape. Detroit has cancelled the 2:09, 2:12, 2:15 and 2:20 pacing classes and substituted the 2:08, 2:11, 2:14 and 2:18 classes. An effort is being made to secure Prof. Carlyle of Colorado to again judge the live stock at the Califor- nia State Fair this year. Director Joe that paced to a record of 2:211 at New- burg, N. Y., recently is out of Josephine Young dam of Joe Patchen2:01l. It is reported that Eddie Mitchell has put Prince Alert 1:59 J to trotting over in England Perhaps he is jealous of Anaconda 2:01}. They are stepping some down East and the other day Major Muscovite 2:07 put the season's record at 2:081 when he beat Frank Yoakum at Baltimore. Geo. Pounder's chestnut gelding Glenn that will start in the 2:27 and 2:24 class pacing events at Los Angeles next week worked a mile last Monday in 2:101. Major Delmar's latest workout miles were in 2:17} and 2:16 at Cleveland. He seems to have all his speed with him this season but is being brought along slowly. The old pacing gelding William Mc 2:05 J will be raced over the half-mile tracks again this season. He recently worked in 2.12} for his owner, Geo. Castle, of Chicago. Another match race has been made for Tiverton and Sweet Marie, and this time it is gate receipts, to be raced for at Belmont Park, Philadelphia, on July 19th. M. B. Turner's gelding, Vision 2:12} by Vanquish that Fred Ward is training at Los Angeles, stepped a mile in 2:11J last week. He will start in the 2:13 and 2:11 class pacing events. An excellent young brown gelding that is quite a trotter and a fine roadster is offered for sale at a very low price. He can be seen at the Zibbell stable, Eleventh avenue, just back of The Chutes. The Contractor by Fred S. Wilkes 2:15, entered in the M. and M., worked a mile recently over the Colum- bus track in 2:11 J. Red Nightingale, a green pacing mare by Red Wing, in the same stable, worked in 2:12. Both are in the stable of M. O. Stokes. A state racing circuit has just been formed in Texa composed of Denison, Grenville, Dallas, Ennis, Brjan, Taylor, Austin, San Antonio. Houston and Beaumont. The first date is September 30. The pacer Snap Shot 2:081, sold at the Indianapolis Horse Sale Co.'s sale last February, seems to have dropped out of notice. His buyer "gave a town in Florida as his residence, and five minutes after his purchase Snap Shot disappeared. Snap Shot is a bay gelding standing 15.3 hands, and is 5 years old. Can it be that he is to go on a ringing tour? Athasham 2:20, as a two-year-old, bids fair to secure a very low mark this year although he will not race very much— the three-year-old events in California being rather few. Last week he trotted a mile in 2:18} at the Fresno track and repeated in 2:19}, last half in 1:08. Harold D. won at Denver last Wednesday in straight heats, the time being 2:13} and 2:11}. Harold D. is evidently getting used to the high altitude of Denver. Golden Gate by Bay Bird was second in the first heat of this race and third in the second heat, winning second money. Fredonna, the dun mare owned by Mr. J. M. Mc- Kay of Fresno is showing great speed iu her work over the Fresno track She paced a mile in 2:10} on Friday of last week. Fredonna is by Athadon, and has never started in a race. For a green one she is certainly quite classy. ^_ In Tommy Murphy's string over East is a pacing two-year-old by Directly 2:031 out of Laurels 2:151 that Murphy thinks is one of the fastest colts he ever sat behind. This youngster has stepped a half in 1:05, with a quarter in 31} seconds, but will not be raced until he is a four-year-old. Joe Maguire, Mr. Easterbrook's trainer, has been riding in front pretty often since the Colorado Cir- cuit opened. His establishment must be several thousand dollars to the good. Robizola 2:12}, owned by Dr. Clark of Santa Rosa, was shipped to Los Angeles this week where she will start in the fast trottiLg events. She worked a mile in 2:12 before leaving Santa Rosa. Bonnie Ailse 2:13}, a mare bred by Fred Pabst, Jr , of Milwaukee, and that raced to her record at the Milwaukee track last year, will start in the 2:13 class pace at Los Angeles next week. She is being trained by S. E. Kent who worked her a mile in 2:11 last Monday and repeated her in 2:10. She is owned by J. A. Fairchild. The accounts in the Denver newspapers of the har- ness events there are very amusing and do not agree. One journal stated that Henry Helman did not drive Getaway to win the first heat of the 2:24 trot last Saturday, while another says that Dewey, the winner of the heat in 2:13, could have trotted seconds faster had it been necessary. Dave Warren of Lafayette, Ind., who has been located at Portland, Or., recently in the interest of the Hartman Stock Farm, Columbus, O., gave this office a pleasant call on Monday. Mr. Warren is on his way East, but reports that there are great pros- pects in the draft horse business up north and expectB to locate out this way in the fall. Silver Sign 2:10}, valued at $10,000 and owned by Judge E. S. Colburn, of Colorado, died at Denver last Thursday shortly after the cup race in which he won the first heat in 2:111, the Colorado record for a heat to wagon by a trotter. Silver Sign was by Silver Thorn and was the sire of Queen Sign 2:191, and others. The cause of his death was acute gastritis. Lisonjero 2:081 makes his first start of the season at Saugus. He is in the free-for-all trot, and will meet Grace Kellar 2:10}, Margaret Bathgate (4) 2:111, Sonata 2:12}, and possibly Paul Kruger 2:141. On June 19th, Ingar, by Director 2:17, dropped a foal at Martin Carter's Nutwood Stock Farm, that was an own sister to the great trotter John A. Mc- Kerron 2:04}. Unfortunately the filly died two days later. L. E. Ingalls, owner of the Joliet mile track, is be- 'ng importuned by Ed ward Corrigan and his opposing forces of the Western Jockey Club to lease the track for a running course. So far no deal has been con- summated. Races will be held at the new San Lorenzo track on July 4th. Manager P. J. Williams has provided a good program and there will be some good contests. Two or three harness events and three running races will be held. H. L. Hernly, of New Castle, Ind., has sold Bourbon Patchen 2:09 by Bourbon Wilkes to W B. Smith, of Rockford, O. Bourbon Patchen is the sire of twenty- slx standard performers, the fastest being Nerva Patchen 2:08. Chas Sadler, one of the judges at the recent Pasa- dena Horse Show will act as starter during the Los Angeles meeting. It was expected that Secretary Bruoer would start, but his duties as Secretary will oocupy all his time. Send to Mr. E. C. Peart, Colusa, Cal., for a cata- logue of his auction sale of standard bred horses to be held at Colusa, August 9th. Mr. Peart has a num- ber of well bred ones that are great prospects, and all will be sold without reserve. Laurel 2:13}, the fine mare owned by Mr. F. J. Yandleof Santa ROBa, dropped a filly by Lynwood Wilkes 2:20 on June 23d. Mr. Yandle has selected the name Miss Burbank for this filly, in honor of Santa Rosa's most distinguished citizen. Luther Bur- bank, whose wonderful new creations in the fruit, vegetable and floral worldB are the marvel of the age. An order has been asked of the court to have the Grosse Pointe track of the Detroit Driving Club sold at auction, so that the club may get out of its difficul- ties._ D. J. Campau is receiver and formerly was president of the club, while he Is the largest share- holder in the old organization. It is believed that in company with a few other rich men in Detroit he will buy in the property and proceed to put it in shape. Will J. Crouch, Sedalia, Mo., Western manager for the well known firm of J. Crouch & Sons, Lafayette, Ind., is paying California a short visit after spendirg some time in Portland, Ore., making arrangemenis for the firm's big exhibit of heavy horses at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Crouch & Sons have opened a branch at San Jose and expect to deal extensively in Percherons and Coachers next season on this Coast. At the Gravesend, New York, running meeting an admission of $3 was charged, resulting in a woeful falling off in attendance. The old price of admission was $2, and now there is talk of having to go back to it at the other metropolitan tracks. The greed of thoroughbred racing managers is something almost past belief — but will the public stand for the graft much longer? _j When Geers arrived at the Liberty ville track he gave the Northern fellows quite a treat by driving his green trotting mare, Clarita W., a mile in 2:10 and letting Walter Direct and King Diiect 2:05} down with a mile in 2:091. This is, of course, the best work that has been seen in Illinois this year, and it looks like the Memphis trained horses would get all the money at Libertyville. A contract was awarded last week by the State Board of Agriculture for the erection of four stables of twenty-four stalls each for harness horses at the new State Fair grounds. The contract price was $9747, for which price most excellent stalls should be furnished. There were eight bidders, and the bids ranged from $9747, the lowest, to $16 000, the highest, Murcell & Smith were the lowest bidders. Sweet Marie 2:04} and Tiverton 2:04} will meet for the first time this year at Philadelphiaon July 19th. Mr. Garland, owner of Sweet Marie writes us that the match has been arranged for a portion of the gate receipts. Alta McDonald in whose care Sweet Marie now is at at Albany, New York, reports her in great condition. This race should and doubtless will draw one of the greatest crowds ever seen on a trotting track. J. C. Adams of Phoenix, Arizona, has shipped his racing stable to Libertyville, 111 , to get them acclim- ated and ready for the Great Western Circuit, and incidentally to touch up the Chamber of Commerce Stake, as he has two named in that, Bystander by Zoloch, and Sally Pointer by Sky Pointer. Besides these two he ships Billy A. 2:171. Charley M. 2:21} and Custer, the latter by Sidney Dillon, dam Maud by Nutwood. The pacer AlTayntor, that took a record of 2:161 at Baltimore a few days ago, is the Village Farm bred horse formerly known as The Saracen. He was sired by Athanio 2:10. the California bred stallion that raced so successfully for Geers and that the Hamlins after- ward sold to go to Europe, and his dam was by Golden Gateway, son of Guy Wilkes. During the last two seasons Al Tayntor was quite prominent on the Buffalo speedway. Entries to the Occident-Stanford pace will close today. This is a pacing event for colts and fillies entered in the Occident and Stanford stake that have taken to the pacing gait. The entrance fee is $50 and any money already paid on either of those stakes will be credited on the account. If you have paid in $30 it will only cost $20 more to start, and if $50 has been paid no further payments are necessary to make your colt eligible to start in the pace. An Eastern exchange states that many horsemen expect to see Tiverton 2:04} beat Sweet Marie 2:04} in a race of best two in three heats, judging from the form each of them showed last year. Trainer Mc- Donald, however, knows that Tiverton can go away very fast and is liable to educate the daughter of Mc- Kinney so that she may be able to do the same. The contest promises to be the most interesting light har- ness event of the season and the best horse is sure to win if both are In the beet of condition. Richard H. Nason.oneof California's oldtime horse- men, died at Woodland last Saturday, aged 85 years. Mr. Nason was a native of Maine and came to Cali- fornia when a very young man. He had bred and trained many trotters and pacers, and drove in races up to the close of last year. This spring he worked his horses as usual at the Woodland track, and was taken ill on the 10th inst. His advanced age rendered him unable to resist the ailments which otherwise would not have been considered serious, and he died on Saturday. C. H. Durfee, who has been in California a few months on a leave of absence from his duties in the United States Customs service at Honolulu, returned to the islands with his wife and child on Thursday of this week. Mr. Durfee was quite run down from the effects of a six years' life In Honolulu when he came up here this spring, but has improved very much and looks the picture of health now. He has hosts of friends in California who had hoped he might con- clude to remain here, but wish him nothing but good luck, health and prosperity wherever he resides. The auction sale of standard bred horses advertised by Mr. E. C. Peart of Colusa is attracting much attention, and letters have been received by Mr. Peart from all parts of the Coast, asking for cata logues Saveral of the youngsters to be sold are by the very promising and handsome young McKinney stallion McNeer. This horse is out of the mare Silver Bell by Silver King 3622, sire of Silver Queen 2:191, Yellow Jacket 2:20} and King of the Ring 2:21 A three-year-old gelding by McNeer, out of a mare by Dawn, is in this sale and is a rare prospect. He stands 15 2 and weighs 1125 pounds. With scarcely any work this gelding has trotted an eighth in 17 seconds, and acts like a 2:10 trotter. The Sidney Dillon mare Helen Keyes, in the East View Farm string, about which there has been so much talk, Is owned by Harry D. Brown, the weil- known Oakland trainer who is now located at Pleas- anton. Mr. Brown purchased her of Geo. B. M. Gray, who secured her at the closing out sale of the Henry Pierce stock, and after developing her speed leased her to East View Farm. It is left entirely with Mr. Butler and his trainer, Charles Do Ryder, whether HeleT Keyes will be started this year. If she Is raced Mr. Brown will have a certain share of her winnings. Mr. Butler has an opt'on on the mare at an agrerri price. We bope Helen Keyes mav prove a oracka j and that Mr. Brown may realize handsomely on 6 The Denver Meeting. In our report of the Denver harness races last week allusion was made to the fact that the account of the raceof Monday, June 19th, on which day the 2:09 pace was decided, bad not been received. It has now come to hand. Tbere were six starters in this event, the bay mai e Oregon Maid being the favorite. The McKinney jnare Miss Georgie was four to one for the first heat which she captured in 2:11J. She was third in the two follow \ng heats won by Stranger O., who took it very easily the first beat. The summary of the race will show hov: the horses were placed: PaolDg, 2:(W class, parse $500.

On Thursday two cups were raced for by members of the Denver Driving Club. Fast time was made in both events and when Silver Sign driven by Mr. E. A Colburn won the first heat of the trot in 2:lli,. breaking the track record for a trotter to wagon, horse and driver were given an ovation. The pacing event for the Wahlgreen cup was also a fast race and well contested. Summaries: Free-for-all trot to wagon, for Wilcox challenge oup, under rules or Genlleni=n's Driving and Riding Club.

Monroe trie good four-year-old owned by W. A. Clark, Jr. got secund money in the race. Helen Norte after being second in tbe first heat went to a bad break in the second heat and was distanced.

The big event on Saturday was the 2:24 class trot for a purse of $1500. This is the biggest harness event on the Colorado Circuit and was originated by the late Charles Townsend. Mr. Townsend's succes- sor, B. H. Hubbard, presented the winner's (Dewey) owners with amignificant tloral horseshoe, and Driver Loomis with an ornate gold-mounted whip. Driver Hillman, who held the reins over J. A. Richardson's Getaway, the defeated favorite, who won second money, also received a gold-mounted whip. Phyllis, owned by E 1 Davis of Denver, won third money, and Woody R , owned by E. G. Davis of Colorado Springs, took the fourth division of the stake. Tbe other starter, Will Clark, did not finish the race, being dis- tanced in the first heat. With fifteen entries, including Rex Colorado, Major Cook, Lady Ztimbro, Delia McCarthy, Farmington Boy, Nordloa, Iosa, Aiinle G , Gebble and Johnnie K.r the field of five starte.-s was unexpectedly small. Up to the day before therace it waa regarded certain that there would be nine br ten starters. George H. Esta- brook'B Delia McCarthy, who was taken ill after the Studebaker race a week ago, was not considered sufficiently fit to start by her trainer, Joe F. McGuire, and remained in the stable. B F. A. Flemmlng's Nordlca was scratched Friday afternoon. Mr. Flem- mlng Intends sending his speedy trotter around the Grand Circuit, and as he did not wish to mark her, kept her In the barn. For some unacoountable reason the pool sellers were not officially notified of Nordlca's withdrawal, and accepted thousands of dollars from bettors who expected that Nordlca would be In the raoe. For this reason all pools sold Friday night were declared off by tbe management. Dewey was In splendid condition, and there was Dover a doubt as to his staying qualities. That be i ould have finished tbe first heat in 2:11 if pressed is jeyond question, and horsemen after the race were ..uanimous In declaring that tbe handsome son of ^ jperior is destined to become a 2:10 trotter. At the ®he gveebev emit gp4, 2:11W- Thursday of this week was ladies' day at Denver, the fair sex passing through the gates without being required to pay for that privilege. There was a large attendance. The only harness race was a half mile affair, three in five, between horses owned and driven by members of the Gentlemen's Driving Club. Mr, Norman's Anna Will proved the winner in straight heats. Summary: Cup race, half mile heats. Anna Will, Mr. Norman Ill Lookout, Mr. Mathews 2 3 3 Frank M., Mr. Ady 4 2 4 Peter.

In an article in last week's issue of the Kentucky Stock Farm "Hawley" says: "There are certain reasons why trotters should have certain structural points, should he built on certain HneB and should be possessed of quality, and if breeders would follow the common sense laws of nature and by using only the best individuals obtainable they could at the end of a comparatively few years do away to a great extent with the bad individuals which now are so frequently used in every stud in America. Coarseness should be avoided as if it were a plague, for wherever there iB coarseness quality must be lacking, and without quality the trotter or pacer can not use to the best advantage the forces nature has given him. Muscular development iB no part of coarseness, although it is sometimes taken for it. A horse of wonderful muscu- lar development can in reality be possessed of as much quality as the most exquisite thoroughbred. If breeders would decline to use either mares or stallions that were defective in conformation, such as excessive length in theback, lightness below the knee, Improper construction of the shoulder, bad hocks, bad ankles, and Improperly constructed hind quarters, they would eventually furnish tbe type of horse that would be able with the least effort possible to carry his speed. They would find that the trotter oould endure the more severe oampalgn, would be less likely to break down, better galted and the need for muoh of the paraphernalia that is so frequently seen on a horse would be eradioated. A trotter without a semblance ofooarsness is necessarily gamer than one that is flabby, and if his shoulders are oblique tbere is less danger of soreness after a campaign on hard tracks. "If the bone below the knee is of a proper texture and Bbort, the forward aetion gives less friotlon than If tbe pasterns are not too straight, the concussion is better withstood. A short-backed trotter, properly ribbed, if hiB stifles are in the right place, need not use excessive hook action in making his strtde. If the muscular development continues down into the gtskln and the length from hip to hock is great enough, tbe stride is longer and more quickly gath- ered. It maybe argued that if breeders chose only individuals approaching perfection the number of foals each year would be much less than now, and while this in a sense is true,. it Is also a fact that the quality would more than make up for the lack of quantity. It is doubtless no exaggeration to say that more than half the foals that are produced each year by tbe many breeders of light harness horses in America are from sires and dams which are woefully lacking in the many qualities that go to make up a perfect horse, and I believe that the great bane of the light harness horse breeder is either a lack of quality or substance or both. Many trotters are either too coarse or too light, and the latter, while it is fre- quently described as quality is merely an entire lack of substance Cresceus is a stallion of wonderful mus- cular development, and is massive without being in the least coarse, and while he is somewhat plain in appearance there is nothing flabby about him, nor has he any of the points usually found in coarse horses. His legs are flat, while those of many well-known trotters are almost round, and the length from hip to hock of the champion stallion is remarkable, as is the muscular development of the lower thigh. Many famous speed marvels have been so entirely lacking in substance that they were unable to carry their speed for any considerable distance, nor were they able to withstand the ravages of a hard campaign, which would have been possible for them had they been properly constructed. It would Beem reasonable to suppose that a badly gaited trotter was such as a result of a defect in conformation, unless, of course, he was made so by any incompetent trainer, and the way to eliminate this defect would seem to be to breed to trotters only whose gait was frictionless and smooth. "One of the most noted trotting stallions ever pro- duced in America, and one whose breeding and general appearance was all that could be desired, had a habit of banging his knees to such an extent in fact that many of the most enlightened breeders looked ask- ance at him and when placed on the market his youngsters were avoided by many trainers, for as was but natural he transmitted this lo his get. There is little or no excuse for the promiscuous bresding that has been carried on ever since the industry was first started, and there is still less excuse in this enlight- ened age, for the material that is now being used from which to produce the American trotter. A visitor to the great breeding farms which were conducted on such extensive plans a few years ago could not fail to be struck with the number of inferior animals among both the sires and the dams. A really fine, well built stallion of great substance as well as quality was com- paratively rare and the same type of broodmare was ever more so, As a result of this looseness of method, the country was flooded with a type of horse that is today far from perfect, and while the breeders now extensively engaged in producing the American trot- ter have learned from the lessons of the past that the best results cannot come from an utter disregard of what constitutes good individuality, they are not strict enough to succeed as well as they could if the lines were drawn more closely. Any breeder who collects five or six mares of really choice breeding and excellence of conformation, which excellence should be judged by the very highest standard, will surely accomplish more than if be owns twenty-five mares choiea solely for their blood lines without regard to the r -itructural points. The breeder who first pro- du e< a type of trotter approaching perfection will, if he h s used good judgment in his selection of blood lhes oe the first to produce with any degree of uni- formity trotters of slake class. " Secretary Walter J. Snyder of the Detroit Driving Club, by arranging the program for the Blue Ribbon meeting week of July 24-28, on the three heat plan, haB solved the problem of equalizing the Northern and Southern trained horses. The three heat plan removes all possibility of a long drawn out contest — such aB are frequent — and which usually results in one or more of the contestants being put out of racing commission for a while, if indeed not for an entire season. When a horse starts in one of these races he need be ready for but three heats. Should he, how- ever, be just a little Bbort of work and annex two heats, he has won the larger amount of the purse, and also the pool tickets are his. Tbe advantage the Southern trained horse had over theNorthern trained one in years paBt Is now history. It has often occurred that the Northern horse was really the beBt, but lack of condition caused his defeat after he had won two heats and a record. Under the plan now at Detroit the advantage of condition is equalized. Jackson's Napa Soda is sold in every city, town and hamlet in the State. July 1, 1905 1 ©to? gveei/ev cmi> gtpcvt&nxan The Percheron — A Prize Essay. Oq March 4th, the Board of Directors of the Jereberon Registry Company offered a prize of 825 or the best essay on "The Percheron Horse," to be written by the undergraduate students attending agricultural colleges in the United States. The first >rize was awarded to W. A. Eldridge, a student at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. His essay yas as follows: "In the little district of Perche, situated in the south of Normandy, in France, we find the native home of probably the most popular breed of draught horses in the world today, the Percheron. This is a somewhat broken country with rather scant pastures and watered by numerous springs and brooks, an Ideal location for the development of such a noble 'breed of horses. Nature has favored it with nutriti- ous herbage and a pure, d ry and bracing air eminently ifavorable to horse breeding. In this eountry agri- culture has flourished for centuries. The farms of Perche are small and well managed. It takes a great deal of labor to cultivate the fields of this broken region and the broodmare is called upon for her share of the work. This is another condition that has ltd to the production of strong, rugged colts destined to some day carry on the commerce of the world. The Perche farmer is the breeder of these horses and it is a well-known fact that the farm is the ideal place to produce thoselusty, vigorous coltsthat will develop , into good draughters. He takes pride in his horses, ! he loves them. It seems to come natural to him. He takes good care of the broodmare; works her and feeds her carefully and here lies one of the main factors that has brought the breed to the high degree of per- fection which it holds today. When the colts are abont eighteen months old he assigns them to some light work. They are hardy and soon become accustomed to it and enjoy it. They are abuodantly fed and with this exercise they acquire a strong, healthy constitution. The Percheron has been bred in this district for many centuries. In 732 when the French defeated the Saracens they captured their horses and brought them to this country, and to these historic Arabian horses, so noted for their superior symmetry, quality and intelligence, the modern Percheron owes its origin. The use of these beautiful stallions on the native mares of Perche continued as late as 1820, when the two noted gray stallions, Godolphin and Gallipoli, were introduced in the stud stables at Pin, thus stamping their character, quality and endurance on the horses of the country with an indelible impress. These horses thrived in their new home, and with some admixture of the blood of the horses of Brittany a type of horse was developed that was of the greatest utility combined with beau'y, quality and style, a horse of more thanordinary strength and vigor which would enable him to do hard work. He had a splendid conformation and intelligence next to human, was gentle aDd patient and possessed the inestimable quality of moving heavy loads at a rapid rate. These horses were preeminently fitted for the mail coach, express and omnibus service. All of the countries were anxious to possess them as they were the only race of horses that were practically faultless. So great was the demand that the French Government had a hard time to prevent the sale of excellent breed- ing stallions and mares. They established a stud stable at Boneval and some of the best horses were bought and taken there. Prizes were offered at the department fairs and in this way the Percheron was resoued from what might have proven to be a com- plete elimination. 1 Up until 1883 there was no definite name for this breed. They were known as Norman, Percheron, Percheron-Norman and French horses. In this year the Societe Hippique Pereheronne was established and the name Percheron was decided upon. The first volume of the American Stud Book was published in 1876 under the name of Percheron-Norman Stud Book. But after the adoption of the name Percheron by the French it was changed. One of the most influential factors which has tended toward bringing the Percheron to its present high , degree of perfection iB the interest taken by the French Government. For a long time the government , has maintained stud stables in which were kept the very best stallions that oould be found. They are let ; Out to the farmer at a nominal fee and in that way en- couraging them to breed good animals. The govern- ment does not stop here. It has established a system of inspection and license for all stallions which are to be used for breeding purposes, and only animals of merit are permitted to enter stud service. Two classefc are recognized, first the "Approved," which, so long as they are kept in service, receive an annual reward from the government of from seventy -five to one 'hundred dollars. The second class is designated as "Authorized" stallions, which are commended for public patronage, but not considered of sufficiert excellence to deserve a bounty. The law forbids the use of any stallion that has not been authorized by the government. The vast amount of good arising from this interest taken by the government can scarcely be estimated. As the railroads began to take the place of theold mail-stage and omnibus, and speed became a matter of minor importance, the breeder gradually began to breed toward a heavier type. It was mainly due to this and to the fact that the con- stantly increasing trade of America demanded a heavier horse, that the breed merged into what is known as the modern type of Percheron weighing from 1800 to 2300 pounds. In this modern type we find a horse varying in color from white to black, but tending toward the dark color. He has an intelligent, attractive head with a short, thick and beautifully crested neck set on neat, well-placed shoulders, a shore legged, blocky type with short, strong back and coupling and heavy quarters. He has a clean leg, noted for its straightness and soundness, and feet of superior quality. Percherons as a general thing are very insusceptible to foot ailments, side bones, etc. They have the much desired fast, straight walk and a clean, open, easy trot. The modern Percheron is very popular with the American farmer hecause he is an easy keeper and an early maturer, is hardy and vigorous, both docile and sensible, strong, active and well adapted to all classes of farm work and city use. America had a preference for a black horse, whicn has led to the production of darker colored horses, but, as is evidenced by some of the leading shows of the last season, there is a tendency '.0 revert to the original color, that beauti- ful iron gray. It is a good thing that this is true, for a minor point like color should never detract from the value of an otherwise good horse. Is it any won- der that the progressive Americans import more of these stallions than all of the other draught breeds combined. At the great World's Fair at St. Louis this year we found the Percheron superior to any other breed, both in number and quality. Nor is the Percheron degenerating. Look at the magnifi- cent record at the recent International Exposition where those great geldings are assembled to prove their rank The Percherons won first in the heavy geldings, first, third, fourth and fifth in the light draughters, first in the light pairs, first in the light fours, and last, but not least, when those flashy six-in hands were displayed the active Percheron geldings carried off the royal purple, the greatest honor that could be awarded to any draughter. Thus ends a brief history of the interesting development of a breed of draught horses which have wended their way into the industrial centers of nearly every nation on the globe. If all the horses through whose veins flow the blood of the noble Percheron were today tiken from their toil, the wheels of industry and com- merce in the world would be practically at a stand- still. Millions of people are dependent on them for their very existence. Let this be an inspiration to the breeders of these magnificent horses and to the progressive American farmers, who through the use of pure-bred Percheron sires supplies the ever- increasing demand for high-priced geldings in the market centers of the world. Let the geod work go on. Hold aloof the Percheron banner and let it for- ever stand as a monument to the untiring efforts of the patient farmer and breeder of the beautiful valley of Le Perche." A Good Old Horse Remedy. As long as the remedy does its work there Is no occasion to change. This is the doctrine that has been acted upon by a whole generation of users ol a hor^e remedy that Is being advertised in our columns. We refer no Kendall's Spavin Cure, the preparation of the Dr. B J. Kendall Co.. Enosburg Falls, Vt., though It is hardly necessary to tell readers of this paper where or by whom Kendall's Spavin Cure is made. The most common ailments of horses are very similar from year to year. Spavins, Ringbones, Curbs and Splints are characteristic horse aliments. What Is found to be a good method in one case, even a generation ago,' 18 gouo still. Kendall's Spavin Cure is, bejond question, such a remedy— we had a most said the remedy. As these common hurse ailments, the ones coming up most frequently to be treated, do not change, so Kendall's Spavin Cure does not ohange. It Is the same remedy that wasdiscovered by the great veterinarian thirty years ago. Its use has been continuous alwBys widening out until it has become the standard remedy for horse owners In many countries besides our own. Nothing could more emphati- cally attest its virtues.

An Unborn Foal Sells lor $1000. Last week's Western Horseman published at Indian- apolis contained the following: Mr. Upson A. Andrews, of Forest City Farm, Cleve- land, O., was a visitor at Maywood Stock Farm early this week, at which place he has two very great mares which are being bred to Sidney Dillon, and he, like everyone who visits Maywood Stock Farm, was capti- vated with the renowned 6ire of Lou Dillon 1:58}. Mr. Andrews was a prospective bidder on Sidney Dillon at the Madison Square Garden sale, but, as he new expresses it, failed to grasp the true greatness of the stallion as a speed sire. He was not long, however, in realizing the fact that he overlooked a winning hand, and while here pressed Mr. Holt for a price on the stallion now. Mr. Holt declined to name a price, re. marking incidentally, "Why I could not afford to take fifty thousand dollars for him," to which re- mark Mr. Andrews replied: "Well, price him " But no price was named by Mr. Holt. Mr. Andrews is a "game man, " is financially able to buy what he wants, and as he(with Mr. H. H. Stambaugh, another gentle- man of the same class), owns one of the finest stock farms in America, one of the very greatest speed sires in the world would just about fill the bill. Had Mr. Holt been in a selling mood It is most likely that Sid. ney Dillon would have readily found another new and elegant home. As it was, the two gentlemen made a "side deal" and "let it go at that." Mr. Andrews asked Mr. Holt to price the prospective foal by Sidney Dillon out of Earalma, dam of Boralma and Pan Michael, he (Mr. Andrews) to take the foal at five months of age, regardless of sex, quality or soundness. Mr. Holt named $1000 as the price, which proposition the Ohio breeder promptly accepted, and tendered a $500 advance payment. But the deal was closed, Mr. Holt declining the advanced payment. Thus Mr. Holt sold his first Sidney Dillon, several months before it is foaled, for $1000, and at that, with good luck, Mr. Andrews will have secured a rare bargain. Suspensions Instaad ol Fines. In a recent letter Palmer L.Clark expressed a truth which has frequently been reiterated in these columns, and which cannot too strongly be impressed upon the attention of the boardB of the turf associations which review the decisions of judges. Mr. Clark says: "The imposition of a fine depends altogether on the magnitude of the offense, and if some owner or driver committs some breach of the rules governing harness contests as to merit expulsion or suspension, a fine becomes a ridiculous thing when substituted. TMb becomes especially true and apparent when the fraud perpetrated nets the offenders many times the value of the fine, and moreover invites a continuation of fraud or violation of the rules when it is known that only a fine will be imposed instead of the suspension or expulsion that carries with it drastic punishment merited by the offender, and in addition becomes a wholesome warning for others." The above very clearly expresses the truth as to the use and abuse of the method of punishment by fine. The driver who can escape the consequences of a violation of the rules with a fine which represents an infinitesimal part of the sum he has gained by his misdoing, has really purchased an indulgence, and will not be deterred from doing the same thing again when the opportunity occurs. Good raoe track dis- cipline justifies the imposition of a fine only in cases of comparatively insignificant misbehavior. A driver who delays the start, who scores ahead of the pole horse, who is improperly attired, or who is guilty of any other petty misdemeanor may be properly dis- ciplined by a fine, but the resort to that method is warranted by few offenses of greater gravity. The President of the National Trotting Association has officially and specifically given his sanction to the plan of limited suspension. He has declared that there is nothing inharmonious to the trotting rules In applying this method of discipline to any breach that is discovered, and that the judges have the power to fix any limit to the length of suspension, from twenty- four hours to twelve months. An intelligent direc- tion In the use of this authority by the judges will do more In a single season to deter the propensity upon the part of the drivers to do wrong than all the fines that can be imposed In a decade. — Trotter and Pactr.

The laxity of Interest In the open coursing In some of the Middle West sections and other partB of the country where it once flourished has been a matter of regret to many sportsmen. The difficulty of procur- ing "jacks" recently has threatened the continuance of enclosed coursing on the Coast. The opposition of th'; so-oalled immune societies and their following is also a dampener. Whether the game will ever again become ae popu- lar as in former years is a debatable matter. That it is still popular in certain quarters is beyond question. In England the sport retains its popularity, which grows with years. What the Derby is to the racing man, the Oxford and Cambridge boat rece to the rowing man, the Waterloo cup is to the coursing man. Those who are not coursing men have perhaps but a dim idea of what the Waterloo cup is. Many know that this is a sport in which Greyhounds and hares take a prominent part, but others share the blissful ignorance of the sportsman who declined to name his pick for the Waterloo cup until he knew who was "up." Coursing is pursued inmost parts of England, but Lancashire is the great coursing county. There are countless minor stakes, but the Waterloo cup is the event of the year. The pick of England's Greyhounds compete, and only the pick, for none but pedigree dogs whose names are in the studbook may enter, and the number of entries is limited to 64. All the dogs are drawn against each other in pairsj then the winners of the first and second pairs meet each other, and so on down the whole liBt. The draw takes place at Liverpool the night before the event, usually in a room at one of the leading hotels. Cards bearing the numbers of the 64 dogs are drawn alter- nately from two ancient jugs of Staffordshire pottery which have assisted at the draw for years past. The smoke room is thronged with sturdy, red- faced, open-air men, mostly in cloth caps and gaiters, and the air is thick with tobaceo smoke and "doggy" technicalities. An election committee room on the eve of the declaration of a parliamentary poll is calm and unenthusiastic compared with the smoke room when the draw has been made and the experts know which dog is to meet which the following morn. And on the following morn all Liverpool and most all Lancashire flock to AUcar by road and rail. A black army of men, ten deep, wind like a mighty serpent over the flat, green country till they come to the held where the start is to be made. They settle, like a swarm of locusts, on a coign of vantage, usually one of the long, high banks which abound. Before them stretches a big flat, bare of life save for the judge and the committeemen and a screen behind which a man in a red coat and gaiters is holding the first pair of dogs in leash. Afar off over the countryside is a vague shouting, which gradually comes nearer, as the beaters close in on the hares, which have been fed up and left un- molested for weeks before coursing begins. Presently tiny black figures waving their arms appear on the sky line. They resolve themselves into men, and then little specks appear running about the ground in front of them. At length one of these little specks becomes a hare, and comes galloping along past the fatal screen. The dogs are eager and strain madly at the leash. The man gives the hare fair law, runs with the dogs till they are evenly behind the hare, and then slips them. Quick as the hare runs she has no chance in a straight race with the dogs, which can cover 16 feet at a jump. Her hope Is in dodging, and a good hare, by the speed with which she turns, will escape the dogs for some minutes. Then she turns the fraction of a second too late, and there is nothing left of her but a limp piece of fur dangling in the vicelike jaws of her slayer. Som.btim.es the hare wiH manage to keep dodging till the dogs, which have lesB staying power than a hare, are tired out, and then Bhe goes off, practically leaving the dogs at a standstill, pursued by cheers and cries of "good hare, " or sometimes she is lucky enough to find Banctuary in a drain or some other place into which the dogs cannot follow. When all the hares out of one stretch of the country have been beaten up a move is made to another flat. The spectators flock across the fields in a joyous mob, scrambling over dykes, leaping over ditches, and sometimes plunging into them. It may be necessary to make four or five shifts during the day, and the sportsman who wishes to see all the sport must be a good pedestrian and possess workmanlike boots and gaiters. The ruleB of coursing are rather complicated. The dog which "kills" does not necessarily win the course. Certain minor points are taken into consideration. They are a9 follows: (1) Speed, (2) the go-by, (3) the turn, (4) the wrench, (5j the kill. In judging "speed" consideration is given as to wheiher the dog has lost ground at the start or had to run on the "outside" of the other dog, owing to the direction taken by the hare. In the "go-by" a dog starts a clear length behind the other dog, yet gets a clear length before him in a straight run. A "turn" 1b when a hare, finding the dogs close on her, suddenly turns off at not less than a right angle. Tho "wrench" is when she turns at less than a right angle. As to the "kill" the merit of that depends on whether the dog oatches the hare purely by his speed and skill or whether she foolishly gives blm the chance or is "turned" into him by the other dog. The meeting lasts three days. On the first day the 32 first heats and the 16 second heats for the cup are run. On the second and third days the remaining heats for the cup are run, as well as those for the Waterloo purse, which is a consolation prize for the 32 dogs beaten in the first round of the cup, and the Waterloo plate, which is a consolation prize for the 16 dogs beaten in the second round. Four dogs are always left for the third day of the cup. Hares which are seen to be weak as they run past the screen are allowed to escape. Sometimes four or five slip away unchased befor a "strong" hare comes along worthy to be coursed by these four good dogs. The winner of the Waterloo cup gets $2500 in cash,, the runner-up $1000, the third and fourth $250 each, . and the remainder smaller amounts. The money-, comes out of the entrance fees, which at 3125 each realize $8000 for 64 entries. But, in addition to the $2500 — which often does Dot cover the expense of the dog's training — the/ owner of the winning dog holds till the next year a necklace made of links on which are engraved the^ names of all the winners of previous years. Afresh' link is added every year. Only eight owners have won the cup more than once. Col. North made the record, winning it four times straight off — 1889 to 1892 — with the same dog, the famous Pullerton. Begin- . ning with this year the Earl of Sefton, on whose estate the meeting is held, has added a valuable cup for the winner. A coursing Greyhound is trained as carefully as a race horse. Ab a pup he is usually entrusted to a farmer who accepts such charges, and under whose care he leads a rural life, free from anxiety^ and sweetened by good milk and fresh air. When the dog is half-grown he is taken off this "walk" as it is called, and after a while allowed to run loose with his mate The two young dogs play "hare and hounds" literally, and course each other in play until they develop into athletic dogs, sound in wind and limb. They are fed on the best of the land and kept groomed till they are as glossy as new silk hats. DOINGS IN DOGCOM. ;r BEST AMERICAN BRED POINTER. The following communication is self explanatory. Mason's King has been systematically touted all over the Coast as a wonderful Pointer. He is, and in a class by himself, one that a sportsmen who wants a dog to work to the gun has no use for: 2941 La Salle Ave., Los Angeles, June 22, 1904. Editor Breeder and Sportsman— Dear Sir: In your issue of May 20th tbe special awards at the San Francisco dog show gave Mason's King as the winner of the cup for "Best American bred Pointer owned oi the Pacific Coast." This cup was awarded to m bitch Faith and the cup is now in my possession. I would not trouble you about this correction only there seems to be a concerted effort to withhold the credit of this win from my dog. One kennel (?) paper which devoted its entire -pace to this show and giving all the awards, accidentally omitted this one (and this one only). Mr. Chute, the ring s.eward, marked up the award book giving this special to Mason's King, and when I asked to be allowed to compete for the cup I had to call Mr. Ashton's attention to it per- sonally before I was allowed to bring my dog into tbe ring. Mr. Chute tried to argue the question until finally Mr. Ashton told him there was no comparison between the dogs. While I do not consider it any honor to beat this dog I do not wish any of my dogs to rest under the stigma of having been beaten by Mason's King. I know that this error was not made by your paper, but I hope you can see your way clear to rectify it, and oblige. Yours sincerely, Wm. J. Morris. THE DOG IN AMERICA. The first adequate treatment of the dog in America is given in "The Dog Book. " Mr. James Watson, the author, has been a dog breeder and student for nearly forty years, both in this country and in England. This long experience, both as a judge at shows and a practical fancier, has been supplemented by exhaustive research, in consequence, his work is really the initial adequate and comprehensive treatment of tbe dog in America. It is replete with practical information as to buying and breeding dogs, their care and the like. Each separate breed is described at length: its origin, special qualities, points of the perfect type, and its value. The unprecedented increase, in recent years, of interest in canine affairs and dogs is evidenced by the number and prosperity of the Kennel Associations, and this great book will, beyond question, be the standard on the subject. It is the only publication, here or elsewhere, in which the possibilities of photo- graphic illustrations for dog portraits and animals in motion has been made use of. The work will be in 10 parts of about 80 pages each. Parts 1 and 2 are al- ready issued. Part 3 is devoted to the Irish and Gordon Setters, Clumber and Sussex Spaniels. The chapters devoted to the Irish Setter are interesting in the extreme and beautifully illustrated, among the engravings is one of Mr. J. Wulffsohn's, of Victoria, B. C., Irish Setter Jeannot, one of the best of the breed on the Coast. The "early history" is good and readable for any- one. Then there is for the "dog man" thechapter on pedigree. It will do a lot of good for breeding in general if new beginners will understand that "pedi- gree" is not merely names. So far, this particular In feature 6eems £o have escaped the attention of the orltlcs and we believe fancierB will greatly appreciate it when they read it, Mr. Watson requests us to announce that he is desirous of proouring pictures of good dogs, past and present, of all breeds. Such of them received that are wanted back by the sender, will be returned, if a request to that effect, and also the address, are written on the back of the photo.

Heller of New York, a guest at the Tallao HouBe, Lake Tahoe, landed, with an eight ounce rod, one day last week a 29J pound Mackinaw trout. The biff fish was played for two hours on the light tackle before it was landed. Mackinaw trout were planted in the lake nearly ten years ago by R. W. McFarland and have been taken frequently The fish Is a char and in the great lakes, Individual fish of this variety of trout have been taken that weighed over one hundred pounds. It is a denizen of the deeper waters and has this dis- tinguishing feature that, while it has the Bpotted characteristics of the trout family, the fish unlike moBt of its cousins, has not a particle of red coloring or spots on its body. TROUT PLENTIFUL IN TAHOE. Deputy Fish Commi-sioner Welch who was recently at Truckee and about that section of the State for a week or more visiting the different local Pish and Game Protective Associations, speaking of a visit to Lake Tahoe, where he went to look after the interest of the different kinds of trout, stated that never in his official capacity had he seen trout so plentiful as they are this year in Lake Tahoe If it was not for the State law protecting the finny tribes, tons of fish would be shipped daily to the markets. There are at least twenty-five men fishing there every day and each one Is making good money. The fishermen are receiving from 25 to 40 centB per pound for their fish, and they are unable to supply the demand. The usual price for lake trout there at this time of the year ia 15 cents per pound. The Big Stoney In Colusa county Is generally good at this time of the year. A trip to the stream was made recently by a party of anglers composed of W. W. Richards, Walter D. Mansfield, Ed Everett and John Seibe. Each of the party had well filled creels on their return. The stream waB found to be un- usually high, which argues excellent fly-fishing there, at present. The trout had a liking for No. 6 flies rather than the usual smaller ones. A. No. 1 spoon is also a good killer. Some excellent catches of trout have recently been taken In the Little Sur in Monterey county. Over twenty-five boats were out on Lake Merritt last Sunday and bait fishing for striped bass was fairly good. Between 40 and 50 fish were taken, nearly all small ones. The largest bass in Bert Spring's catch was a 4-pounder. The water in the lake has been high or low, according to the tides, for several weeks pa6t the flood gates have been kept open all the time. Salmon are now running off Capitola and Santa Cruz, and, it is reported, gradually leaving the waters off Monterey. So'me large catches of fine fish have been recently taken off Capitola where a large flotilla of boats can be Been daily, the occupants of which enjoy the sport hugely. Fly-fishing in the streams of the Santa Cruz mountains is now in full swing and anglers who make the trip to that delightful region are being repaid with well filled baskets. Anglers who have tried the Paper Mill and other streams in the vicinity of Point Reyes have had fairly good sport recently. ^ AT THE TRAPS. The Eureka Gun Club held its regular monthly shoot, June 18th, at its grounds on the Humboldt bay peninsula. The diamond medal of the first class remains in the Parker family and Dr. Loofbourrow was relieved of the leather medal of the kindergarten class. In the diamond medal class, Frank Parker who had won it twice in succession relinquished the prize to his brother, Wiley Parker, and in the other class, J. Black, a new recruit, commenced with the leather medal to work his way up to the diamond. Following was the score at 25 targets: Buhne 17, Frank Parker 15, Perrott 19, Clanton 21, Loofbourrow 15, Kelly 21, Wiley Parker 22, Black 12 Dungan 15, C. C Falk 18, Cook 20. At a business meeting of the club it developed that the Woodpecker Club has ceased to exist and its club house, traps and other paraphernalia adjoining the Eureka Club's grounds, together with several of Its members, have been absorbed by the Eureka Club. The members taken in by the old club are Messrs! Black, Dean, Wilson, Carmichael and Clancy. At the meeting it was decided to entertain all of the other gun clubs of the county at an Inter-club shoot and barbecue to be held on the peninsula grounds Sunday, July 2, and accordingly invitations for a grand reunion have been issued. The Golden Gate Gun Club regular shoot for July will take place at Ingleside tomorrow; A pigeon shoot and outing wilt take place at Reclamation, Sonoma county, in August, under the auspices oi the "old" Lincoln Gun Club. A good time is an assurance to those who will be present. At the Millwood Gun Club shoot, June 25th, four regular events were shot as follows: First event, freeze out — Won by W. Price, 9 straight Wm Johnson was runner up. The other entries were: Haas, Van Norden, Collins Jr., Brown, Wagner, and White. Second event, medal shoot, 25 targets, 16 yardB rise — Ashlin 17, Turpin 10, Knickl7, Collins, Sr 13, CollinB, Jr. 17, Smith 9, Brown 14, Johnson 16, Lacoste 11, Wagner 14, Lock wood 15, Willigrod 12, Haas 17, White 14, Wayman 18, Lynch 12. Wayman won for the month. Third event, cup race, 25 targets, 16 yards rise — Turpin 9, Haas 18, Wayman 20, Lacoste 5, Lynch 20, Lockwood 11, Johnson 21, Brown 15, Van Norden 20, Wagner 17, Lilly 10, Lewis 11, CoJins, Sr. 16, Ashlin 22, Lyman 20, Price 23, Collins, Jr. 20, Knick 15, Potter 15. Wm. Price won the cup for the month. Fourth event, 20 targets, 16 yards rise, sealed con- ditions— Wayman 13, Wagner 6, Lewis 11, Price 14, Haas 19, Lynch 10, Brown 6, Ashlin 15. Johnson 17, Collins, Jr. 10, Turpin 9, Van Norden 18, Lockwood 13, Collins, Sr. 12. R. Haas won for the month. At the regular meeting of the club the following officers were elected for the coming year: Wm. Price, president; R. Haas, vice-president; Robt. Van Norden, secretary-treasurer; Wm. Johnson, field captain. The club is in a very prosperous condition and if the members will always turn out in good force as they did last Sunday, will be one of the best in the State. The Blue Rock Club of Bakerefield held a successful shoot at the club grounds on June 11th. Captain Shatter, U. S. A., made the highest score of the day, breaking 85 out of 100 targets. Scofield was a close second with 80 and Yancey third, with a percentage of 78 8-9. Yancey got his shooting eye late in the day.- In the first three matches he fell way below his average but in the last three he broke ten straight twice and nine the third. Mr. W. S. Tevis, the president of the club, has in- formed the members that they may have the club house on the old grounds at the race track if they will move it. The house can be moved very easily and at a small expense and it is more than likely that it sill be in place on the new grounds in time for the next shoot. The scores made were as follows: Shot at Broke Per Cent Shatter 100 85 85 Scofield 100 80 80 Yancey 90 71 788-9 Henry 70 54 77 1-7 Getchel 90 68 75 1-9 Tupman 100 72 72 Stoner 90 61 677-9 Jewett 70 45 642-7 Ferg-ison 70 40 57 1-7 Packard 100 57 57 Whitney 90 49 54 4-9 Oswald 40 21 521-2 Hochheimer 20 9 45 Kllpstein 50 19 38 On June lS'.h the regular Sunday blue rock shoot of the club took place and the honors of the day again went to Captain Shatter, who broke 87 out of a possi- ble 100. Mr. Scofield was second with 85, and Clem Wilson third with 82. Mr. Wilson had the best record for straights, breaking his first 20. Following is the record of totals of the shoot: Shatter shot at 100, broke 87; Scofield 100-85; Wil- son 100-82; Tupman 100-79; Oswald 60-34: Packard 125-81; I Hochheimer 100-50; Whitnev 96-67; Fergu- son 100-51; Henry 120-83; Nelson 140-104. The Santa Rosa Gun Club held the second of the series of shoots for the Laflin & Rand silver cup on June 25th. The cup shoot resulted in a tie between Mead, Guiltnan and Young, who will shoot the tie off July 9th.

The Belvidere Gun Club was recently organized and will conduct a series of trap shoots at the club groundson thenorth end of Belvidere island, Tiburon. The grounds are fitted up with three expert traps, Sergeant system, which are operated by electric pulls. The list of membership is the following: A. C. Adbr, L. S. Adams Jr. Dr. George L. Bean, Robert B. Bain Jr., F. T. Bowers, Dr L. L Dunbar, C W. Evans, Dr. B. W. Haines, Fred W. Kelley, W. C. Leavltt, Dr. S. R. Marvin, Dr. L. McLain, Dr. Clyde Payne, W. D. Page, S. B. Plant, Abbott Russell, F. W. Runyon, Charles J. Youngberg and G. W. Bates. The Stockton Gun Club held its first target shoot of the Beason on June 18th at the grounds near J. T. Stevenson's model roadBide resort at the Intersection ef the old French Camp turnpike and the highway leading to the steel bridge. Being the first, the Bhoot was not well attended. Only seven of the gun club members were present, and, as might be expected because of a year's lack of practice, the scores made were poor. Even Charles Merrill broke only seven out of ten blue rocks. A blue rock shoot will be held by the club every Sunday afternoon at the Bame grounds, and later on there wiil be a live pigeon shoot if birds can be ob- tained. The largest pigeon loft in San Joaquin county Is at the Kidd ranch, on Union island, but it Was recently depleted by the sale of 1400 birds to San Francisco trap shooting clubs, leaving only about a hundred pairs for breeding. This pigeon loft was started by Tom Williams during his residence on the island, for the purpose of raising birds to shoot at the traps. The Interstate Association Grand American Handi- cap began on Tuesday at Indianapolis under the best auspices. In the events preliminary to the Grand American bluerock handicap shoot on Wednesday W. R. Crosby of O'Fallen, 111., was high gun with 199 breaks out of a possible 200. He missed his first tar- get. Fred Gilbert, of Spirit Lake, Iowa was second, with 196. The feature event of the day was the State amateur five-man team shooting at 500 targets — 100 per man. The first squad from Ohio carried off the honors with a total of 474 breaks. Trap shooting in the Hawaiian Territory has apparently caught on with the sportsmen of the islands as the following account of a recent meet of Honolulu shooters will show. The fourth semi-annual shoot of the Hawaiian Gun Club was held at its finely situated range in Manoa Valley, May 30th. It was a perfect day for trap- shooting, with no strong wind to mar the flights of the targets. The house committee, composed of Messrs. Porter, Harvey and Gares, were rewarded for their efforts by having present the largest crowd of spectators in the history of the club. From start to finish great interest was taken in the several matches making up the day's sport, especially by the large number of visitors present, the majority of whom bad never witnessed this class of shooting, woicb is bound to become one of the island's most popular sports. A fine chowder luncheon was served during the noon hour, after which the three concluding matches were shot off. J. W. Harvey carried off the individual honorB of the day by winning the high average cup with the fine average of 90%. A. E. Walker and L. C. King were second and tuird with 84% and 75%. H. E. Gares pushed Harvey hard for honors. Gares won the 20-bird handicap, known angles, and the lO.bird scratch, unknown angles. Irwin Spalding won the weekly challenge cup with 20 out of 25 targets. Harvey won the cup twice previously, it now goes into his permanent possession. The great growth In popularity of the Hawaiian Gun Club during two short years of existence wbb shown not only In this shoot, but also in the fact that the club Is proving to be a regular rendezvous for the field shooters of Oahu during the closed game season. After a short delay, caused by the non-arrival of a few participants, the first event, 20-blrd scratch, known angles, for President D. P R. Isenberg's cup cup and the championship of the club, was call'?1 Out of the five entries J. W. Harvey took with eighteen breaks out of 20; K B. Porter - 16 out of 20.

This event, although Something new in the history of the club, proved to be^thly interesting, the result showing that 0 hers The San Francisco contingent who were present and participated are loud in their praises of Oregon hospitality and goodfellowship. There was, among the northern sportsmen, quite a sentiment in favor of holding the tournament next year in San Francisco. At the meeting of the asso- ciation, however, Walla Walla was selected. Ihis choice is a good one, the grounds and other facilities and accommodations for visiting shooters being most acceptable. A large number of the shooters at the tournament expressed their intentions of attending the Interstate shoot at Ingleside in September. A J Webb won the individual championship medal (the last regular event shot; on Sunday.

As usual shooters of Winchester goods carried off the honors at the 21st annual tournament of the Sportsmen's Association of the Northwest at Port- land, Or., June 22, 23, 24. The shoot was attended by 143 contestants. A noticeable feature being the use of Winchester "pump" guns by 64 shooters present from California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska and British Columbia, this shows the popularity of the Winchester "pump'' gun. The Anaconda Cup was won by J. W Bradrick, of San Francisco, Cal , 25 straight with a Winchester "pump" gun. L. R. Reed of Ohi< wa, Neb., but a non-member, also shot straight in this event, with a Winchester "pump" gun and Winchester "Leader" shells. The Multnomah Medal was tied for by W. F. Sheard of Tacoma and J P. Hollohan of Wallace, Idaho, both shot Winchester "pump" guns. The Walla Walla Brownlee Medal, which closed the pro- gram events of the first day was captured by Dell- Cooper of Bellingham, Wash. He also sbofc a Win cheater "pump" gun — so every trophy contested for on tbe opening day of the shoot was won with Win- chester products. The Brownlee Trophy, shot for on the second day was tied for by W. F. Sheard, A. P. Bigelow of Ogden, Utah, C. A. Henkel of Harrington, Wash., and A J. Webb of Sao Francisco, F. Logston of Harrington, and C. H. Collier of Portland— five of whom used Winchester shells and two shot Winchester "pump" guns. In the sboot-off Mr. Sheard shooting a Win- chester "pump" gun and "Leader" shells and Mr. Bigelow shooting an L. C. Smith gun and "Leader" shells tied again. Mr, Bigelow won on the final shoot- off. The Globe Trophy, the premier prize of the association by reason of the mixed kinds of shooting, was tied for by W. E. Hacker of Tacoma, A. P Bige- low and W. H Seaver, with 45 out of 60 each. Mr. Hacker and Mr. Seaver used Winchester "pump" guns. Mr. Seaver being a trade representative, the tie waB shot-off between Mr Haoker and Mr. Bigelow, the latter winniDg the trophy. G. E.

Individual them up until they were hungry enough cows may differ in temperament, but the to eat and tl en gave them another feed Vital difference ie in degree only, not in kind. Every cow in the herd but one keeps a weather eye open for her boBS. The master cow may be poorest, while the timid creature which all the others knock about may give the best returns. To re- ' dMce to its lowest terms the nervousness ' I began the dairy business with two existing in every bunch of cattle stabled cows. Each enjoyed a big box Btall, and handled together, it is essential that I calm in the bel ief that she was the whole B0 far aa possible each member be treated show. The instinctive fear of famine as though she were the only one. lam I never J sturbed their serenity and they ready to condemn all stanchions. A Btall gave respectively 11,4S6 and 8560 lbs. so constructed that its inmate can Bee no milk in 12 months. The second year I other; a simple halter or rope with snap had seven cowb ; each had a box stall and and loop or a fastening which draws the I while there was pome confuaion in getting animal forward as she lies down ; a gutter them in and out, they were placid, con- ;n the rear with small margin for her at noon, they could eat a'l the hoppers they wanted and it would not hurt them Besides giving tnem wheat he feeds the m plenty of conditiop powders and the birds thrive and grow fat on the thousands of hoppers that they find this spring Pat- terson sayB he now has a thousand old and voung, including the chickenB and turkeys. * SpongeB. S. Adderley, 307 Market St PHENOL SODIQUE tented and made excellent records. The fifth year I milked 20 cows. To accommodate them the box stalls were torn out and two rows of swinging steel stancheons were put in. On ace >unt o location of doors and to have one central feeding floor, I placed stancheons so that cows faced to center. The records show that cows never did so well after the change. Tbey fattened and ate with nervous haste. The masterful ones would horn their neighbors and shake their heads threateningly, with frequent cases of insubordination and breaking of fast- enings. There was a general air of dis- quiet and unrest from which they never recovered. The troubla was ao seriouB that the whole arrangement -was altered. I wish to emphasize briefly the mistake of stabling two rows of dairy cattle bo that each can glare across a narrow alley into the eyea of the others. The saving of time and labor in milking, bedding and cleaning more than offsets the advantage of having a common feeding floor, besides the gain of space by placing cows with heads to sidewalks, thus permitting nar- row feed alleys. There is also a benefit in having a common entrance, in getting animals into their placeB. The main argument for the tail to tail arrangement is that each cow is secluded and no timid one fears that her neighbor may steal her allotment of feed or threaten bodily injury. It is extremely important that the dairy cow, to do ber best, Bhould be sequestered when Btabled. That secretion of milk is a nervous function is true in two ways : FirBt, the nervous system supplies the life current whereby food is converted into milk. Second, a cow will secrete more and better milk when she is calm and serene than when she is nervous and excited. This vital fact is of the utmoFt consequence. Other Btones in thiB struct ure are the balanced ration, cleanliness the daily individual record, the expert milker, keeping profitable cows only, in- telligent breeding, etc., but they all spell failare without an observance of this law Warranted to Give Satisfaction.

M.Dunlap, superintendent of the Humboldt Herd owned by B. F. RuBh and William Pierce of Suiaun, arrived from the East last Fri- day, where he went some weeks ago to purchase some select Btock to be added to the herd. He brought with him twelve head of fine Shorthorns, eleven females and one male, which were selected frum the best herds in the States of Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas. Mr. Dunlap had been instructed by the owners of the Humboldt Herd to purchase the best stock to be found regardless of the price, and thiB he did after inppectiri£ the leading herds in the country. The price paid was somewhat higher than bad been expected, but this waB a secondary consideration, the main object being to get the best stock possible, The cattk purchased are all three years old and under, some of them being prize winners- at the World's Fair at St. Louis last year Mr. Dunlap is an expert judge of cattle, and when he makes a selection it may bi depended upon that the choice is the best. It is the intention of Messrs. Rush and Pierce to exhibit twelve or fourteen head of the choicest animals from the Hum- boldt Herd at the State Fair, after which the show herd will be taken to Portland, Oregon, and exhibited at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. This latest addition to the Humboldt Herd makes it perhaps the fineBt herd of cattle in the State, and the owners are confident that their undertaking in hand- lingthoroughbred stock will be successful. Why Eating Hoppers Kills the Turkeys. S. J. Patterson, Bays the Oroville Regis- ter, is one of the few men in Butte who raises fowls and makes a close and care- ful study of their habits and life. He ie successful because he is all the time find- ing out what causeB sickness or disease among the fowls and learns what remedieB are needed. A man came along the road one day lately and saw Sam's fowls eating grass- hoppers. "You don't know anything about turkeys," said the man. "Every one of those fowlB will be dead in a week. I hatched out 1500, and when the hoppers came and they went to eating them all died within a week." Sam aBked what he fed the fowls, and the man said he did not feed them any- thing. Then Sam explained that the hoppers were oily and that the oil gave the turkeys cholera and that killed them off. He told him that if he fed his lurkevp wbeat in the morning and kept lieals P8ENTJL S ODIOUS J^TJTIC. ANTISEPTIC AND Disii;Ftcw| Ke p handy for emer gencles in home and stable.

San Francisco, Saturday, July 8, 1905. A BIG SUCCESS is the Los Angeles meeting. Racing has been first class since the opening day, the time has been fast, contests good and clean, and a large crowd has been in attendance every day. The Los Angeles Harness Horse Association deserves the thanks of every horseman in California for its effort. The energetic gentlemen who organized it, showed their faith in the popularity of the sport by offering a splendid program of $1000 purses, and the horsemen responded by giving them a good entry list, and the best racing that Los Angeles has seen for years. The Los Angeles Association has shown what energy and enthusiasm can do. There are a dozen towns in Cali- fornia where successful meetings could be held every year, if only the people most interested in harness horse breeding and development had a little of the energy and push the Los Angeles horsemen have. They have the tracks and everything else that is necessary except the enterprise. Cannot some of the horsemen who are at Los Angeles this week discover the energy germs, capture a few, bring them north and innoculate the harness horse people and track owners here? They are nearly all afflicted now with the sleeping sickness, and we think the Los Angeles germ might effect a cure if it could be introduced into this section. ENTRIES CLOSE MONDAY NEXT for the State Pair harness events and also for six additional purses for the Breeders meeting at Fresno. These are the only remaining meetings advertised for Cali- fornia this yej.r except the Santa Rosa meetiDg for which entries are already closed, so if owners wish to race they must make entries at these two places. The new track at Sacramento is almost finished and will be ready to jog over within two or three weeks. A big force of carpenters and laborers is at work on the grounds and thiDgs will be in readiness for the first fair at the new grounds, which is already the talk of the State. The harness program Is a most liberal one, providing generous purses and three races each day. Every owner, breeder and trainer who has any interest in the breeding or developingof harness horses should do everything in hiB power to aid the State Fair this year. Make entries if you can, and solicit your friends to make entries. Make the fair a success so far as your efforts go, and help to build up a State institu- tion that under intelligent management will be one of great good to all. Entries close Monday next, July 10th. Left Denver for Eastern Tracks. reasonable offer is made, it is more than probable that this son of Strathway will remain in the West. The trotter has shown great speed this season, hut seems scarcely over his indisposition of last season. Miss Georgie went wrong in the only race she started here; Bon Voyage has not been right since he as- tonished horsemen by stepping a last quarter in :30, and Sally Lunn is now indisposed. The match race between Getaway and Delia Mc- Carthy did not come off, the owners of the mare pay- ing forfeit. Delia McCarthy is a good mare and probably worth the money paid for her, but the Den- ver trainers do not think she is a 2:10 prospect by a good deal. Hallina Morgan, the three-year-old filly, stepped a quarter in 29 seconds in a workout the last day of the meeting. She is barely three years old being a June foal. She is owned by Joseph Barrett of Albuquerque, and has won nearly $2000 this year, most of her starts being against aged horses. Her present record is 2:21, made at Las Vegas, but she was a close second in 2:13f at Denver this week. Fast Mile by Tom Axworthy. The other day at Cleveland, Tom Axworthy, the gelding that- took a four-year-old trotting record of 2:0S| last year in October, was down on the matinee program for an effort to beat 2:13J to wagon. In the absence of his owner, F. G. Jones of Memphis, H. K. Devereux drove him. Of course everybody looked for a winning mile, but no one anticipated the ex- treme speed he displayed. Tom Axworthy is a giant, and built on the lines of a greyhound. He hasn't the slashing, determined gait of most great horses — a gait that is Impressive of extreme speed — but he glid"s so smoothly, so tigerishly stealthy, and so seemingly without barely touching the ground, that he deceives one as to his speed. He did not look to be going fast, but when he finished the mile the watches showed 2:09, with the last half in 1:03 J, and the last quarter in 3H seconds. When Mr. Devereux finished the per- formance he said : ;'My, but that is a fast horse. He did not look to be going fast, and the fact is that he was only jogging apparently throtigh the stretch. I never urged him." With the exception of Lou Dillon no trotter ever negotiated a mile in time as fast at this season of the year. What Tom Axworthy will do later on no one will venture a prediction. Mr. Jones will start him frequently at the matinees, and when the inter-city meeting takes place Tom Axwor- thy will be a starter for the gold cup. Frank Herdic Still in the Game. Last Saturday the first consignment of harness horses that have been racing at Denver left for the East. The first carload contained the W. A. Clark Jr. string, including Bon Voyage, Miss Georgie, Mo- rone, Sally Lunn and Will Clark. With this string were shipped Oregon Maid and Getaway of the J. A. Richardson string, Helen Norte and Belladi of the Brent stable, and Morosco 2:12 and Mack Mack 2:12}, who are in charge of Driver Henry Hellman. These owners planned to stop off at L.berty ville, 111., to take advantage of the six days' race meeting there. They will then split up. Driver Rutherford of the Brent string and Hellman will probably take their charges direct to Detroit. The Clark horses will go through to Read vllle, Mass. They will start at Saugus, Me., and other New England meetings, avoiding the Detroit and Buffalo meetings, and will start on the Grand Circuit at the Hartford meeting. The Clark string is not exactly in the best condition just at present. Mr. Clark has had any number of offers from horsemen who would like the privilege of using Will Clark, his green trotter for a year, but has received no offerB that look good to bim.

[American Sportsman. ] No man is better known to the horsemen of the oountry than the pool seller, Frank Herdic, Mr. Herdic was quite ill this winter, and not long ago a Pennsylvania horseman brought the news to this office that he had suffered a relapse and would hardly re- cover. The following letter from Mr. Herdic explains itself: Williamsport, Pa., June 22, 1905. American Sportsman: — As I see in your paper I had had a relapse and was very low, I drop you this line to let you see I am very much alive and will start in next month at Pittsburg and go along with the boys. Have had quite a race and am lucky to get a heat, but second money will do where you don't want a record. Looks as though we might have some races at that, and Cleveland's coming back in the ranks again looks like old time sport. I expect to see good racing where they trot horses and pace them, and not try to make running horses out of the trotter and pacer. The more they fuss with the old style of racing, the more they 0 it off the revenue, and the tracks need all the com- missions they can get to pay out, and I know it. But there are those who have an idea and are always ad- vancingopinions when it don't cost them a cent— agri- tators and kickers, saying people want short races and quick action for their money. I never saw any time in my life where a man could win $25 or $50 or more that he was not willing to stay until dark. They tried the dash system at Empire City and Brighton Beach last year, and we worked as hard as two men could — that's Uncle Bill Riley apd self — and could simply not do 25 per cent of what we should have done. The public will not put their money on dashes, for if they get in wrong they have no chance to get out, and what they can do to books is good and plenty. It opens a hoie, and there you are. I could say a whole lot, but guess I will let thera use their own judgment. Truly yours, Frank L. Herdic. Gaiting a Saddle Horse. An expert in gaiting horses gives the following hints: "Always select the gait you wish to go and make the horse take it; don't allow the horse to decide. Always go into the other gaits from the flat foot walk. Never let your horse rush away when first mounted, but in- stead start in a walk. Do not keep him constantly at one gait, but change quite often, otherwise he will soon become adapted to the one gait in which you ride, and practically lose the other gaits. For a trot slacken the reins a trifle, and steadily take hold of the mane or touch the neck with the right hand, and at the same time rise slightly in the saddle, urging on the horse gently. If he makes a mistake, and mixes, pull him back to a walk at once, and repeat the maneuver. For the canter, slacken the reins, incline your body forward, raise your right hand as if to salute, and cluck to the horBe. When he starts, take sufficient hold of the reins to pull in his nose and make him arch his neck. Many highly trained horses will go into a canter at the mere inclination of the body. For a rack, or Bingle foot, tighten the reins and give the bit a num- ber of almost impreceptible jerks, at the same time urge him on with voice or whip, as he requires. If you feel him falter, or as if he was going to change into another gait, slightly shake the bit and urge him on. It is well to remember that this last gait is the hardest of all on the hor6e; for this reason he should not ordinarily be asked to go at this gait for more than a mile without change. Los Angeles, July 5. — At a meeting of the stock- holders of the Los Angeles Jockey club to-day the following diredtors were chosen: Epes Randolph, J J Fay, J M Hale, W R Dunn, George Rose, Thomas Fitzgerald and J W Brooks. The officers chosen for the ensuing year are as follows: Epes Randolph, president; J J Fay, vice-president; J W. Brooks, manager. It was decided to open the winter race meeting on Thanksgiving Day. J W Brooks, who leaves for the East August 1, states that the outlook for the coming season is the most promising of any yet held by the Ascot organization. S. Christianson of this city has returned from his trip to Denver, where he spent a week attending the Overland Park meeting. He says he saw some fine racing, but the high altitude makes horses inconsist- ent, as they will go a fast race one day and be all out in slower time at their next start. Mr. Christianson speaks in the highest terms of the Gentlemen's Driv- ing Club, of which he was a guest while there. It has 240 members, fine club rooms, and is very prosperous. Its matinee racing is held on a track in the park, and no races are trotted or paced for money. Mr. C. brought back samples of this club's year books, sta- tionery, etc., to show the members of the new driving club which is being organized here in San Francisco New Track at Los Alamos. Messrs. J. Doherty and E. P. Holloway are just oompleting the grading of a new five furlong track at Los Alamos, Santa Barbara county. It is located just a half mile southeast of the town and is pro- nounced by all the horsemen who have seen it an ex- Oillent track. The proprietors propose to get up some colt stakes to be trotted and paced in the fu- ture, and will give meetings with such purses as they can afford. There is much interest in horse breeding and training in that locality, and the new track will be popular with the public. * Horses Growing More Valuable. Horses are growing more valuable every day. The world's sup- ply is less than In aDy yearfor a decade. The theory that auto- mobiles, street cars, traotlon engines etc would In lime super- sede the horse has not been verllied. Good horses are higher to-day than ever. This should put breeders una horse owners in general on their guard to protect their brcod mares and colts against all forms of contagious and debilitating diseases, such as distemper, Influenza, pinkeye, shipping fever, etc Pre' measures should be adopted In all oases.

The horsemen of FresDO and vicinity are doing a lot of hustling (or the meeting there July 19-22 and from the present ou'.look it will be one of the best weeks of racing on the Coast this year. The follow- ing from the Fresno Republican tells the story of what is goiDg on at the Raisin City track: A great deal of interest is being taken in the Fresno meeting to be held July 19-22 and prospects are first class for a week of goo 1 sport. A week will intervene between the Los Angeles meeting and the Fresno race goers will have a chance to see the campaigners in their work, as most of them will be shipped here about next Sunday. Any lover of harness horses can spend several in- teresting hours any morning at the Fresno Fair Grounds track watching the different trainers getting their trotters and pacers ready for the races. The Fresno track has long had the reputation of being one of the fastest tracks in the country, and although interest in the local horse business has not been as lively in the past few years as it might have been, the track is as good as it ever was and Fresno may yet regain the name of being one of the best race horse centers on the Coast. There are now about fifty head of horses in training here and of these the best work this season has been shown by the dun mare The- donna byAthadon 2:27, owned by J. M. McKay, of Fresno, and in the string of Schuyler Walton. This mare was purchased as a two-year-old for less than $100 from Colonel Hay, and has been trained but very little until this year, yet she has shown such a re- markable turn of speed that Monroe Salisbury offered $5000 for her. ThedoDna has never started in a race, but recently paced a mile in 2:10!}, with the last half in 1:02J, and good judges say Bhe will surely go in 2:04. Another one in Mr. "Walton's stable that will race here is Geo. L. Warlow's great three-year-old stallion Atbasham that earned a two-year-old trotting record last season of 2:20. He is a good-looking, nice-made colt by Atbadon 2:27, dam Flora Wickersham by Jun'.o, and if nothing goes wrong with him, should develop into one of the best three-year-olds of the year. Last week Athasham trotted a work-out mile in 2:184 pretty handily and it looks as if a mile in 2:15 would be easy for him. Others in Mr. Walton's stable that look promising are Mr. Warlow's two-year-old colt Stanford Mc- Kinney by McKinney, dam Avena by Palo Alto 2:08|, Clara, a three-year-old St. Clair colt, owned by Louis Bachant of Fresno that has raced a mile in 2:221, with a half in 1:083; Mabel C. 2:20J by Strathway, owned by Joe Corey of Hanford; the pacing mare Babe, owned by Harry Bernstein of Hanford and Teddy J. and Bobby J. both owned by R. B. Parker, which have shown ability to step in 2:25. One of the nicest gaited trotting mares at the track is a bay daughter of Athadon, owned by a local en- thusiast and in the stable of Charley Clark. This mare has had but very little training and has not beaten 2:20 in her work, but is a very promising mare and will be heard from later. Mr. Clark has quite a number of good green trotters in his charge, but will not have anythnig to race until next season. The best race prospect in the string of Charley Middleton is the seven-year-old bay mare by Junio, out of Susie Hall by El Capitan. She has been trained but little and ha6 never been asked to step a fast mile, but has 6hown a remarkable turn of speed for & trotter and is a most promising prospect. Mr Middleton is also training Louis Bachant's pacer George 2:18}, that will start in the Fresno Driving Club race, and a lot of green prospects, mostly two and three-year-olds. Among the latter Is a handsome three-year-old by Athablo, dam Daybreak, owned by L. Stock of Fresno. Joe Depoieter is training a number of good green ones, among the beBt of which are the three year-old colt Guy by Guy McKinney, dam by Dexter Prince and Milton Gear, a pacer by Harry Gear, dam Lulu N. by Dawn. m Denver Meeting. Two harness events with good fields were on the raolng program at Overland Park Friday alternoon. Martha B., owned by J. Fred RobertB, and driven by Harry Bush, won the 2:11 paoe in straight heats. The fastest time was 2:00$, made in the first heat. Dewey, tho winner of the Yellowstone trotting Btake, took the 2:30 trot In straight heats, the fastest time being 2:15}, in tho second beat. In the first heat of the paoe tbe field got away to the eighth in :15}. The quarter was reached in :31}. When the balf was passed In 1:03J. the enthusiasm in the stands grow marked. Martha B. gave evidenoe of her speed qualities, and the three-quarters was reached in J:36 flat. They raoed home, covorlng the mile In 2:09}. The second heat was materially slower. The six- teenth was passed in :16, the quarter in .33, the half in 1:06, and the three-quarters in 1:40. The time for the mile was 2:12$. Thesummares: Pacing, 2:11 class, purse $500.

Loomis evidently thought that Ed Geere' re- mark was a wise one when he said that many a good horse is ruined trying to beat one that is known to be much faster, and he acted accordingly.

The last outstanding liability, consisting of purses due horsemen and other minor obligations, will be paid within the next fortnight. The total indebted- ness amounts to less than $25,000, and the appropria- tion which became available July 1st, is more than sufficient to settle what is due. Over one hundred men and seventy-five teams are now engaged in grading for the new track and in laying foundations for the buildings. The grading on the track was finished last evening and the traok is now ready for the top coat. Architect M. A. Allen, who has superintended con Btruotion of Harlem, Hawthorne, Emeryville, TanI foran and Ascot Parks, says that conditions are most favorable for securing a fast track at the new park. The soil, he says, is of springy oharacter, a mixture of clay and loam that is always a guarantee of speed upon a well-constructed track. The cross-grades on the turns are so constructed that a horse rounding them at a two-minute gait maintains his exact equilibrium. The premium list for the livestock and poultry exhibits will go to the printer in a few daj 6. It will offer about $20,000 in prizes. It has been decided to give three running races each day, the smallest purse to be $200 and the average to be considerably more. For the Stanford, Occident and Stallion Stakes, in the harness events, the payments have been as numer- ous as during any past year, and tbe directors have advertised liberal money in all harness races, Intending to give this department special encouragement. Entries will close July 10th. At the meeting of the directors to be held on July 8th bids will be opened and contracts let for tbe construction of buildings for sheep, swine and exhibi- tion horses. It is expected that this work will cost about $20,000.— Sac. Union. Charley Herr 2:07. Charley Herr was as true, as honest, as game, as reliable and as mismanaged a trotter as ever lived. No horse of recent years has ever occupied the same place in public esteem as this remarkable stallion, and had fortune been kind enough to have taken from his path the many obstacles that where strewn in his way it is more than probable that his list of victories would have been doubled. Charley Herr was one of the very few absolutely reliable trotters this country has ever seen; he never trotted a bad race when he was fit; he never left his feet except when an accident befell him; he tried every inch of the journey, and was probably driven for more heats than any trotter that ever lived whose campaign was no longer than his. His very honesty commanded the respeot and admiration of every lover of gameneBS in an animal, and the honest little Irishman who owns him and who should have reaped a rich reward through the owner- ship of so remarkable a horse, waB himself in this respect an example for all horsemen. Nearly all of Charley Herr's races where hard battles, and in each he covered himself with glory, for in victory or defeat he struggled gamely for supremacy, and could always be depended upon to stick to a trot. He has probably been driven from "eend to eend" more frequently than any other horse in turf history, and has gamely stood enough gruelling and severe punishment to have put an end to any other horse. Po66ibly the most sensational race in his career was the one in which he was overcome by Cresceus at Readville, and in this game struggle helOBt only by the narrowest of margins. It will be remembered that in the first two heats he was returned a winner and loBt the third by an eyelash, bo close in fact was the finish that none but the judges could -tell which of the two stallions had the best of it at the wiie. — Hawley in Ky. Stock Farm. * The Cart Horse Parade in London. The London Cart Horse Parade recently held in th>- British metropolis is reported to have been one grand success from end to end. Never, according to the ad- vices we have received, have tbe exhibits been of such high class nor yet in such sup- rlative condition. It was well shown that the man who first conceived the idea of the parade builded better than he knew. The last was the twentieth parade that has been held and about 1000 horses and nearly as many drivers were in line. Only two of the men who founded the parade were present on this last occasion and these were Sir Walter Gilbey and Mr. Burdett Coutts, both of whom have labored early and late, in season and out, for the improvement of the British horse and the ameliora- tion of his condition. It is said that they had a most handsome reward. Support has for years been lent to the parade by both the Shire and Suffolk pedigree record associations, the Scottish Clydesdale society not yet having taken the same step directly. En- thusiastic indeed are some of the accounts so far received concerning the very marked improvement in the feet and bgs of the draft horses now to be seen on the London streets compared to what they were twenty years ago. Not only that but year after year the Bame old faces are to be seen behind the same horses, proving that the encouragement of the Lon- don Cart Horse Parade is redounding not alone to the amelioration of the horses but to the benefit of their owners as well. The entry this year consisted of 75 single-horse two-wheeled vehicles, 714 single* horse four-wheeled vehicles, 72 pairs and 36 unicorns. Caustic Balsam Does More Than We Claim.

John R Conway 2:13, winner of the 2:17 pace at Los Angeles, is another new member of Diablo's rapidly growing and extensive list of 2:15 pacers. Ed Malloy haslet Lou Dillon step a mile in 2:15 since reaching Cleveland, and Mr. Billings expectB to begin giving her some faster miles from now on. State Fair entries close on Monday next, July 10th. As the fast records made at Los Angeles will be a bar at Sacramento, there should be a big entry list. Don't forget that six additional purses for the Breeders meeting at Fresno will close Monday next. Look over the advertisement Id our business columns. Nutwood Wilkes gets a new 2:10 performer in Tidal Wave 2:09. There are two or three more of his get that should get into the extreme Bpeed list this year. Bob Mason Is now the sire of three 2:10 performers, the mare Virginia winner of the second heat of the 2:27 class pace at Los Angsles last Monday being by that horse. W.L.

It Is said that no meeting will be given at Wood- land. This is too bad as Woedland has one of the fin- est tracks In the State and large orowds always attend the meetings held there. With Dr. W. 2:08$, Vision 2:091 and Tidal Wave 2:09 out of the 2:13 class pace, the $600 purse for that class to close Monday next for the Breeders Fresno meeting should get a big list of entries. One of the secrets of a successful trainer is a suf- ficient knowledge of the art of farriery to enable him to have the blacksmith properly shoe and balance his horses. Faulty action may often be remedied by proper shoeing. Mr. E. C. Peart, of Colusa, who is advertising an auction sale of horses in the Breeder and Sports- man writes: "Your paper is doing me good. This mail brings me letters from Fresno, Merced, Sacra- mento and Oakland. " The McKinneys are starting out this year winning races and reducing records. There is no family that trains on any better than the one established by the greatest son of Alcyone. They get the money and the records, and improve with age. Is this "tainted money?"

On this account the mare is known throughout Ohio as the "Home Missionary mare." Helen Keyes, the daughter of Sidney Dillon, will not start in the M. & M. according to an Eastern re- port. She may not be raced at all this year, Mr. De Ryder considering her too valuable a mare to take any chanceB with until she is just ready. Golden Gate, William Brown's pacer by Bay Bird, won the first heat and a record of 2:131 at Denver on Monday. This gelding has been a very consistent performer at the Denver meeting and has been a good money winner although he has not won a race. The Helm Stake, which is a free-for-all pace, will be one of the exciting races at Fresno. Zolock 2:06, Ed- win S. 2:08, Tern Carneal 2:08$, Kelly Briggs 2:091 and Daedalion 2:10 are the entries and the probability is that every one will start. Look out for a split-heat race with a mile In 2:05, and all below 2:10. Dr. De Foe, of San Jose, has two colts that are as well bred as the best bred ones we hear so much about. One is a three-year old by Mendocino 2:19J, dam Rose McKinney the dam of Almaden 2:221. The other is a yearling by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16$, dam Carrie Malone, own sister to Charles Derby 2:20. Those two colts would do to head a stock farm, breed- ing mares by one to the other. On the first day of the Los Angeles meeting, Walter Maben drove the mare Mamie Elizabeth by Red Regent, dam by Chimes, a mile against time to give her a record. She trotted the mile in 2:211. The next day she was started in the 2:17 class trot and got second money. She was second to The Commonwealth in the first heat of this race in 2:151. William Cecil reached Cleveland safely with the Mc- Kinney mare Lady Mowrv 2:28 and a three-year-old sister to her that he Is training. Lady Mowry worked a half In 1:05$ at San Jose before she was shipped East and is a likely 2:10 performer. It Is announced in the press dispatches from the West that Japan intends to send several representa- tives to study closely the horses shown at the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland this fall. It is also stated that China will be officially represented in this regard. Much hope is held out that the Island Em- pire may make large purchases of breeding animals. Nora McKinney 2:12$, regarded by many horsemen as the finest road mare ever seen in New York, is said to have gone lame in her work a few day b ago. She trotted faster than 2:10 in a race at the Empire track last season and won many brushes on the Speedway. William Simpson, who owns her, had counted on a record of 2:06 for the daughter of McKinney this season. On the opening day of the Denver meeting in the third heat of the 2:30 pace, the pacing mare, Lady M., driven by Walter Cummings was distanced. This caused Cummings to lose his temper, and when Henry Dunlap accidentally got in his way as the horses were all being pulled up, Cummings struck him across the face with his whip. The judgeB fined Cummings $50. Mr. L. M. Ladd, of Hollister, haB shipped his Palo Alto bred four-year old stallion Monbello to S. E. Kent at Los Angeles for training. Monbello Is by Monbells, son of Electioneer and Beautiful Bells, and Is out of the great broodmare LauraC. by Electioneer, second dam the thoroughbred mare Fannie Lewis by imported Buckden. Monbello shows a great turn of speed, and is a most promising trotter. There is more profit or at leaBt less loss to men who breed horses to sell a five-year-old for $225 than to keep the same horse until he is ten years old and sell him for $700. It is poor economy to hold for high prices until they eat their heads off several times. On the opening day of the Lima, Ohio, meeting, June 27th, the Diablo gelding Pacific King by Diablo, trained by Vance Nuckols, won the 2:30 pace after dropplDgtwo heats. In the fourth heat Pacific King stepped the mile in 2:151 and could have gone faster! The same day Bogan by Bow Bells won the 2:35 trot getting a record of 2:191 and Jack Wilkes by Guy Wilkes won the 2:18 trot, reducing his record to 2:20$. The Tom Hal family of pacers has flourished in the Blue Grass region of Kentucky since 1859, when the founder of the family was foaled. The offshootB of this family have found their way into many States of the Union, and the cross of the family occurs in a great many trotting and pacing pedigrees. It is said that the original was a roan horse called a Canadian pacer, and that he was taken to Lexington from Philadelphia. He died the property of Benjamin N. Shropshire, Harrison, Ky. He was supposed to he the grandsire of Tom Hal. Fred H. Chase & Co. will hold a sale of fifty head of road and carriage horses at 1732 Market street on Monday, July 24th. The larger part of this consign- ment is from the Occidental Land and Improvement Company (Sharon Estate), Fresno, and contains many handsome horses by Jim Monroe, Teheran and other good sires. The others are consigned by Mr. C. E. Needham, of Bellota, and are a very fine lot. Barondale 2:111, 'be Iowa stallion that Btood at San Jose in 1903 and 1904, had seven new performers last year, and the way his get are stepping this year over the Iowa tracks, makes it look as If as many more new ones would be added to his list this year. Many Cali- fornia breeders that own yearlings and sucklings by Mr. James' horBe, hope he will bring him back here, as they would like to have more of the same kind. At the i ecent New York Driving Club matinee the team race between L. A. Burke's West Wilkes and El Moro and W. M. C. Floyd-Jones' King Chimes aDd Gov. Holt, was the best race of its kind ever seen on the Yonkers track. El Moro has a record of 2:13$. He is by Longworth and was bred by the late A. C. Deitz, at Ventura, Cal. El Moro was owned for a time by Mr. Graham Babcock, who used him as a pole horse with Toggles 2:08$. The 2:09 class pace at Santa Rosa should prove a hot one. The entries are Zolock, Kelly Briggs, Alone, Daedalion, Queen B., El Diablo, Tom Carneal, Rajah, Billy Red, Miss Idaho aDd Reta H. On his Los Angeles showing Zolock should win, but if he is not on edge there are three or four horses entered that can contest the heats with him from end to end. It is good betting that the track record of 2:06 made there by Clipper in 19U0, will be broken. The two fastest heats ever paced in California are to the record of "the little red horse," John R. Geotry. Id 1899, GeDtry, Joe Patcheo and Anaconda were engaged to give two special performances at the Los Angeles meeting. One was od the opening day of the meetiog, October 21st, the other od the cloBiDg day, October 28th. John R. Gentry won both events in straight heats, and record time for a California track. The heats on the opening day were in 2:05 and 2:04, and on the second day 2:04^ and 2:031. The program of the Spokane Inter-State Fair has been issued. It provides for six days racing, the nice sum of $11,000 being offered. The 2:14 pace and 2:16 trot, and the Spokane Derby and the Inter-State Relay race are $1000 each. There are several $500 purBeB for harness horses, and purses range from $150 to $500 for the over night running events. The fair will beheld during the week beginning October 9th. Entries close August 15th. Robt. H. Cosgrove is Secretary and Manager. The racing at Los Angeles is as good as they have anywhere and it is on the old three in five system, with auction pools and mutuelB as the only means of betting and big crowdB are in attendance every day. Some of the turf writers who are always crying for Dew methods probably imagine that the meeting could be improved if there were a dozen or so bookmakers doing busioess and the raceB were on the two in three or the dash system, but the people who breed, train and own trottere and pacers don't think so. Mr. A. B. Rodman, of Woodland, has received many congratulations over the winning of the 2:45 trot at San Jose by his big gelding Patrose, whoBe record of 2:12$ made in third heat makes him the first new 2:15 trotter for the year on this Coast. Mr. Rodman not only bred Patty Washington, theldam of Patrose, but he also bred his grandam Patty P. by Ricbmont. Patrose started four times last year, but failed to win a heat, but was not in condition at any time. This year he Is all right, and never lifted his nose ODce during the race which he won at Los Angeles. He should trot in 2:10 before the season is over. Australia is fast becoming a market for the Ameri- can trotter. Charles W. Wright of Owensboro, Ky., left New York on June 13 on the British steamer Breiz Huel with four high bred ones for a trip of 16,000 miles of ocean travel for Melbourne, Australia. The four animals are Countess Todd three-year-old filly by Todd 2:141, Blondie Grattan four-year-old filly by Grattan 2:13, Edna Patch five-year-old mare by Dan Patch 1:56, and Beatrice Master six-year-old mare by Quartermaster 2:211. Mr. Wright is a competent tutor, as he has driven to record the following: Baby Ruth 2:061, Parker S. 2:06$, Will Kerr 2:07i, Lord Clinton 2:08| and Henry F. 2:091. He will Instruct the far Southerners how to traio aod race the American trotter. That story sent out from Tulare a few weeks ago about Geo. W Kirkham of that city seliiDg a glass eyed pacer for $13 000 to Geo. A Pounder of Los Angeles, waa a pretty hot one, and while it was at least $10,000 to big, the pacer is a wonder aDd dem- onstrated it last Wednesday at Los Angeles when he won the two year-old event in straight heats, paciDg the first mile io 2:1&$, doubtless the fastest mile ever paced by a two-year-old id July. Rockaway is the Dame uuder which he started io his first race, but he was called Little Jim by his breeder, and is best known by that name in Tulare county. He has two "glass" eyes, a bald face and three white legs and is not much for beauty. He iB a pony in size, but when he starts pacing has two minute speed. It is believed that with special preparation he could pace a half in one minute before he gets out of his two-year-old form. He was entered in both the two-year-old and three-year-old pacing events at Los Angeles. J. M. Johnson of Calais, Me., has bought Ponkapoag the breeding farm of the late J. M. Forbes. There are one hundred and sixty acres in the farm and the price was $60,000. There are five dwelliDg houses iocludiDg a fine mansion house, stabling of the best construction for one hundred aDd fifty horses, and a three-quarter mile traek It lays at the foot of Blue Hill on its western side aDd is about two miles from the Readville track. Mr. Johnson owdb a large farm within thecity limits of Calais, Me., which Is provided with well built large barns aod a half mile track. He aho owoes a farm in Andover, Mass., situated near the famous Hood farm. He owned the great race aod broodmare NaDcy HaDks, the stallion Lord Roberts, by Arion 2:07|, dam Nancy Hanks, aod is reputed to have an interest in Todd now standing in Kentucky. He has a stable of fifteen horses in trainiog at Readville, another at Calais, Me., in charge of Jesse Humphreville, and quite a lot of horses on his Andover farm. The cata- logue which he issued last spring of hiB Calais farm stock cODtained the nameB of fifty fine horses, all highly bred. Senator Stanford used to think that when he got a colt that could trot, sired by a trottiDg stallion and out of a thoroughbred mare, that he had a stock horse. The bay colt Electro, foaled April 22, 1903, is one of this sort. He is by Sutter 29069, record 2:181, and his dam is the grandly bred thoroughbred mare Bucbu by Buchanan, winner of the Kentucky Derby. Buchu's pedigree can be traced through a dozen generations io the American Stud Book, where she iB registered. Electro is owned by Mr. E. C. Peart o' Colusa, who bred him, and will be sold 'with the others catalogued for the sale at Colusa August 9tb. Id Electro there is high class producing blood combined with high class tace winniDg thoroughbred blood, some of the best Keutucky ever produced, and as Mr. Peart says he ought to get a world beater. He stands 15 haods high and weighs 1025, is aspretty as a picture and likeB to trot. Has been jogged ODly but cau show better thaD a 2:40 gait. Will make a valuable stud as well as a race horse. Is entered in the Stanford and Occident Stakes for 1906. Mr. Peart says, "This is my ideal colt and the man that gets him will get something good. " Send for a catalogue of the August 6ale.

Los ANGELES, July 3— With flags flying every- where and the band playing "HomeAint Nothin Like This'' the initial meeting of the new L03 Angeles Driving Club and incidentally the first of the year on the Coast, opened at Agricultural Park this after- noon. The weather was a trifle hot for comfort but a safe to say that tbey all stayed for the finish as it was one of the greatest day's racing ever seen here and of variety enough to suit the most critical. There were three regular event6 and two unfinished races on the card and each one of them furnished something worth seeing. The 2:09 pace was naturally looked upon as big crowd was on hand just the same and was treated the feature of the afternoon and it not only resulted to a creat afternoon of sport as the horses raced all in a little upset for the talent, but also in the fastest afternoon and only one of the three races was com- pleted when darkness came. The meeting looks like a winner right from the jump and already many old timers have begun to call it "the best meeting ever held on the Coast. " The track was in good condition as the time will indicate, the racing was keen through- out and there was a general run of enthusiasm during the entire afternoon. The auction pools and the pari mutuels were well patronized aad the betting promises to be lively during the meeting. The judges are Capt- J. C. Newton, Dr. Win. Dodge and C. A. Canfleld-, the timers are Dr. Ralph Hagan, J. A. Fairchild and C O. Canfield while Chas. Saddler is doing the starting. These gentlemen seem to have the situation well in hand and no attempts werenoticed to "juggle with the cards." The first race was the Willard Stimpson Stake for 2:13 pacers which brought out a field of seven side- wheelers .with I. C. Mosher's chestnut horse Tidal Wave an equal choice over the field. They were sent away for the first heat with Doctor W. at the pole and as soon as the word was given Leggett took him out in front at a merry clip and beat the favorite from wire to wire in 2:081. Old Tidal Wave with all his rigging was out for business, however, and after trail- ing Dr. W. to the head of the stretch he set his sails and nosed out the black gelding in 2:09. All this time Fred Ward had been riding in the ruck pretty easily with the brown gelding Vision and he won the next two heats in such handy fashion that he looked to have the race at his mercy but Doctor W. came back in great shape this trip and barely nosed him out after a mile in 2:11. Then the race was postponed on account of darkness. Seven other good pacers scored down for the word in the Christopher Stake for the 2:27 class, and this race demonstrated among other things that the Lob Angeles matinee horses can hold their own with the best of them, as after a very fast and hard five-heat race the winners of first and second moneys turned up in the pacers that parade in the amateur event when there is no bigger game to shoot at. C. J. Cleveland's handsome little mare Virginia by Bob Mason was the tip of the wise brigade and they played her like it was all over but cashing the tickets, but she failed to land although she won the two fastest heats in the race and was beaten by very narrow margins in the other three. The winner turned up in Geo. A. Pounder's chestnut gelding Glen by Glenwood, out ol Nettle by Robt. McGregor. He was driven in good style by Will Durfee and was "there or thereabouts" in each of the five heats. Argyle showed flashes ol speed during the race and is undoubtedly a pacer of promise, but was hardly up to a bruising race of this kind. The other (our starters caught the flag before the race was ended. M. J. Reams' black gelding Oro Belmont was susposed to be the proper caper for the 2:45 trot, but Frank Wright had a little surprise party up his sleeve and won the only heats trotted with the big Falrose gelding, Pal Rose, owned by A. B. Rodman of Wood- land. Pat Rose has had the reputation of being a little erratic in his work but he did not lift his nose today aad both of the beats won by him were taken into camp pretty handily. Oro Belmont was c'ose up all the way in the opening heat and finished second, but went to a break in the second and tbe place went to the black gelding Charlie T. that was a good third in the first heat. Sam Washington, driving Lady Gipsy, had a collision with the fence in tbe first heat but neither the mare or her driver were damaged to any extent and she was allowed to start again.

SECOND DAY. f' BS, July 4. — A holiday crowd of about 0 came out to Agricultural Park today and it Is I 2 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 a 1 3 4 X ft tl 4 3 ■Ids :i Da (Is 7 ds race of the year. Frank Wright's brown pacer, Kelly Briggs, has been working some sensational miles here recently, and the wise brigade expected him to win with colors flying, but they got in wrong without a chance to hedge as the race resulted in a sensational straight victory for Ben Davies' handsome brown McKinney stallion, Zolock, who carries a new record of 2:06 as a result of his hard earned victory. The winner drew the pole for the first heat and when Vet Kent, who was driving him owing to the illness of Henry Delaney, took out in front and won from wire to wire in 2:10*, the talent thought little of it as the sidewheelers behind him appeared to have paced an easy mile, and Zolock tickets could still be bad at a very cheap figure. In the second heat they went away boiling, and this time Kelly Briggs raeed head and head with Zolock to the half in 1:03 and to the three-quarter in 1:35, and the wise ones figured that this was about as far as Zolock would care to go at this clip, but instead of backing up he came on faster and beat out the pacer from Woodland with something to spare in 2:06. Le Roi and Ira both caught the flag in this heat. In the third heat Jonesa Basler tried to turn the trick where Kelly Briggs had failed but the effort was without avail as Zolock raced them on even terms to the three-quarter in 1:36 and then left them by the wayside by pacing the last quarter in 30* seconds, finishing out the mile in 2:06 J. Zolock 's mile in 2:06 reduces his record over three seconds and his two miles in 2:06* and 2:06 sets a new record for the Coast. He was far from being all in when he finished his mile in 2:06 and could probably have come close to the 2:05 mark if necessary. At any rate, Zolock stock is soaring tonight. Another good thing went wrong in the 2:20 pace when the much touted green pacer Fearnot was beaten in straight heats by James Long's bay mare Nellie R., driven by John Quinn. Fearnot is said to have shown some of the fastest work ever shown here by a green horse and, as there were only three horses in the race, was supposed to be in a soft spot; but the Pleasanton trained mare beat him to it, although it was necessary for her to pace the second heat in 2:10. The first half of this mile was in 1:03 and the second quarter was in 31 seconds, but Nellie R. was equal to the emergency and looks like a 2:05 mare. There were five starters in the 2:11 trot, and after Ole had won the first heat in 2:10*, distancing H. D. B. and Robizola, he had rather an easy thing of it as neither Briney K. nor Lady Madison were able to give him much of a race. Walter Maben had the son of Silas Skinner out in the lead from wire to wire in each of the three heats, and did not appear to be in diffi- culty in any of them. Briney K. took second money from Lady Madison. After a well-judged drive in the unfinished pacing race Fred Ward won the long end of the purse with Vision in 2:09|, while PatRose finished up the 2:45 trot by beating Charlie T. and Kinmont after a great mile in 2:12J.

THIRD DAY. Los Angeles, July 5. — Things cooled down to a normal temperature to-day at Agriculural Park and no miles in 2:10 or better were seen, but the racing was good just the same and every event furnished a good horse race. The most sensational feature of the afternoon was the great performance of the two-year- old pacer Rockaway that won the first race on the card. That he won the race was no surprise, as he was an even money favorite over the field, but the first mile was paced in the remarkably fast time of 2:15*, which is a performance almost unheard-of for a two-year-old at this season of the year, and is a good mark for the baby pacers to Bhoot at all summer. There were only four starters in the race, and when the word waB given for the first heat Rockaway went out to the front by himself and was at the quarter in :33J and the half in 1:07, almost a dozen lengths in front of the others. Here Sam Hoy commenced to move up with the good Diablo colt McFadyen, and when they entered the homestretch he forced Rocka- way to a mild drive, but the effort was useless as the latter was pacing with glenty in reserve, and it looked like he could have paced pretty close to 2:12. Hoy tried different tactics in the second heat and sent McFadyen after the winner with a rush, and for a time it looked like he was on the right scent, for Rockaway made a break going around the first turn and for a second seemed in difficulty. He soon set- tled, however, and after taking the others to the half in 1:07 he had things all his own way and jogged home an easy winner in 2:19J. McFadyen, owned by E. D. Dudley, is a high-class colt and paced a great race, and might have a chance to trim Rockaway later in the season, but the latter was too much for him to-day and the victory was a clean one. Rocka- way is a son of Stoneway, is owned by the local horse- man Geo. A. Pounder, and was driven by his old trainer, Jacob Brolliar. The 2:17 trot brought out a field of five and it developed into a hard fought and interesting contest. Will Durfee's Jupiter B. appeared to be the class of the race and waB an even money favorite over the field in the auctions before the first heat. He won the race in good style, but the big Shadeland Onward stallion, The Commonwealth, had him stepping his best about all of the time and every heat was a hard one. Jupiter B. drew the pole and when the word was given Durfee took him out in front and was lead- ing at the half in 1:07* by quite a good margin. Here Lindsay commenced to let out some sail with The Commonwealth and as they swung around the second turn was racing head and head with the favorite. As they came down the stretch both teamsters were driving hard and it appeared to he any one's race up to within one hundred yards of the wire where Jupiter B. went to a break and The Com- monwealth got the verdict in 2:154;. The latter made a bobble about the same time as Jupiter B. went into the air, but was on his stride again in a hurry and reached the wire first by over a length. They started on the second heat in about the same fashion as in the first, Durfee having taken Jupiter B. out in front again, with The Commonwealth close up. They trotted the whole mile close together and entered the stretch like a team, but Jupiter B. was out for busi- ness this time and won the heat by half a length in 2:13J. The third heat was won by Jupiter B. in about the same fashion but in the last The Commonwealth went to pieces and Durfee had no trouble in winning in 2:16* from What Is It. The latter was third the first three heats and second in the fourth and trotted a good race but was not up to a hard race of this sort. Zambra and Mamie Elizabeth showed speed in spots but botn were erratic. The Charles Derby mare Economizer was a luke warrr favorite over a field of six in the 2:17 pace but was not quite equal to the emergency and was third in the summary after a four heat race. The favorite was right out in front when the word was given and held the lead until they turned into the stretch where Vet Kent came alqng with Mistake and beat him at the wire in 2:13*. In the second heat the field was pretty well bunched to the three-q uarters and it looked like a toss up between Mistake and Economizer but neither one was the winner as Fred Chadbourn came along with a nice burst of speed with tbe chestnut stallion Jonn R. Conway and beat them both easily in 2:13. The winner of this race had things all his own way in the next two and won with something to spare In slow time. He made a disastrous break in the last July 8, 1905j ©ta? gveebev axtit Qpuvistnaii heat and l09t about fifteen lengths near the half mile pole but came out very fast and was going easily at the end.

"Dad" Trefry showed up a high class three-year- old by McKinney today, but after winniDg an easy heat with him in 2:17, the colt made a disastrous break fn the second heat and was distanced. It was one of those unfortunate occurrences that come when least expected. KeDneth C, as the colt is called, was the favorite and it looked as if he could win without ex- tending himself as he was known to have great speed and won the first heat handily. He is out of the dam of the pacer Tom Carneal 2:08$, but is one of the best gaited three-year-olds on the track. After his break the filly Princess Louise by McKinney's 9on Coronado 2:12J went on and won in straight heats, her miles being in 2:20, 2:19 and 2:21, stamping her as a very high class filly. She is the first of the get of Coronado to start and is owned by Mrs. L. J. Hastings of Lob Angeles. Herdam is a mare by Woolsey, own brother to Sunol 2:08}. The records made by Kenneth C. and Princess Louise are the fastest made by any three- year-old trotters this early in the season for years, and the manner in which the fiily finished her race showed that had the colt kept his feet, a horse race would have been on which might have resulted in one or both being in the 2:15 list when it was ended. The 2:27 trot was second on the program and strung out to five heats, all being trotted within a second of the same notch. The big bay gelding Modoc by Daly took the fir9t heat in 2:19}, and Old Hickory, a chestnut gelding by Aeolus, took the second in 2:19, but the brown gelding Wildbell, a son of Wildnut and the once champion yearliDg Bell Bird, owned by Capt. Ruhstaller of Sacramento, came on and won the next three heats in 2:18}, 2:18$ and 2:19J. Old Hickory took second money and Modoc third. This field of horses will make a race at any time in which the win- ner will be hard to pick as they are all pretty evenly matched. In the 2:24 pace, 2:10 was equalled twice by the Bob Mason mare, Virginia, who wonin straight heats, with Glen, who beat her the first day, a good second. Miss Winn, a daughter of Demonio, won third money, and Bessie Barnes and Argyle were shut out in the last heat. The summaries: The H. N.

Brunar is to be complimented upon the up-to-date and thorough manner in which the meeting is being managed and much of its success is due to his faithful efforts. The racing is started promptly, there are no delays between heats, every- thing goes on in a business like manner and there is a completeness about the whole thing that is commend- able. This is the first meeting of consequence held here in some time, but it has made a most favorable impression on both the horseman and the public and It is to be hoped that Los Angeles is in the game to Btay, The trainers from the north are beginning to real- ize that the horses trained in Los Angeles are pretty tough propositions and that miles around the 2:10 mark can be expected any time they score for the ' word. So far the horses trained at the local track have won the lion's share of the money and it is rea- sonable to expect that they will continue to do so, but the trainers from the northern tracks are doing very well under the conditions and have no great cause for complaint. Chas. Saddler did the starting on Monday but since then the flag has been handled by Capt. J. C.Newton. The latter has been very successful and as a rule he his been able to send them away in good style without any delay. The fields have been rather small all week owing to sickness and lame horses in several of the stables. The racing, however, has been high class every day and makes up in quality what is lacking in quantity. The 2:13 pace was a great eye-opener for the week and was a race that will long be remembered. It is not often that the first three heats are won by differ- ent horses and all of them in 2:09} or better. The two-year-old pacer Rockaway that won the pacing stake on Wednesday and earned a mark of 2:15} is one of the most remarkable little horses one ever saw, not only because of his wonderful speed but also because of his peculiar markings and general makeup. He isn't much bigger than your fist, is a light sorrel, with a coat well sprinkled with white, has three legs that are white to the hock, a blaze face and two glass eyes. You can imagine that he wears the hopples when ready for busine^s. This is the horse that created quite a little talk this spring when he was called Little Jim and was purchased by his present o vner Geo. A. Pounder from Jacob Brolier, at a price that ran away up into the thousands. He was started once as a yearling at Tulare when he won a half mile ZOI-OCK 2:06— Winner of 3:09 Pace heat race in 1:12 and is undoubtedly one of the fastest youngsters since the days of Directly for since coming to the local track he has shown a half in 1:02 and a quarter in 30 seconds and the limit of his speed is not known. He is by Stoneway, son of Strathway and his dam was a mare always used on the road and whose breeding is not known. The boys are still talking about Zolock 2:06 and the great race he won the other day and it goes without saying that it was one of the greatest races ever seen on the Coast, and it might be that if the son of Mc- Kinney and Gazelle was tuned up for a trip against the watch he might step a mile right close to the two minute mark. He has been in the stud regularly up to a month ago and within the past two weeks has served a half dozen mares, so his two heats in 2:06 and 2:06J under the circumstances make him look pretty good. He raced in hopples for the first time the other day and although Henry Delaney did not drive him it proved that he knew what he was talking about when he said that all Zolock needed to be a 2:04 horse was the straps. Walter Maben gave the boys a little treat on Wednesday morning by stepping Mr. Canfield's black pacing gelding, Highball 2:08J by Silkwood 2:07, a mile in 2:06$. Highball was not entered here in any of the regular events but a special free-for-all has been substituted for the two-year-old trot and Highball will probably be seen in this. A mile this fast was hardly expected of him, but he did it well within him- self and paced each of the quarters at about the same rate of speed. He is a level headed, good mannered horse and should give a good account of himself if he starts with the free-for-allers. It is not often that a horse takes to the hopples as easily as did John R. Conway 2:13. Fred Chadbourne trained him all spring at Pleasanton without thinking of the straps and he was working easy miles in 2:12 and was considered a right good prospect but his showing in the 2:27 pace on Monday was so bad that his trainer concluded that he was either sick or full of the devil. He was entered on Wednesday and as he appeared to be in good shape it was decided to start him, also to race him in hopples and he was given his first warm up in pajamas about twenty minutes before the race. This seemed to be about what he wanted as he won the race handily and could have stepped faster than was asked of him. B. McMahan. Aids to Action in Horses. About this time of the year horses with high action are always in keen demand. This is true of all seasons of the twelve-month, but just before the advent of warm pleasant weather there is always a l.ttle more urgency to the inquiry than at other times of the season. This naturally draws attention to the high- stepper in a more than ordinarily pointed manner and as a result we receive letters asking how horses may be made to lift knees and hocks higher and generally, in a word, "how to improve their action." This is a hard proposition. Time and again we have detailed the most usual methods, such as the posts laid on the ground and over which the horse is led, being forced in that manner to raise his knees and hocks away up in order to get his feet over the obstacles. The ditch full of some yielding footing and other contrivances have also been described in reply to inquiries of this sort. We doubt if very much has ever been accomplished by an inexperienced man attempting amelioration of action by such methods. Action is a hard thing to make. Dr. Grenside has told readers of this journal in good set terms how essential to the development of action a good mouth is. Without a really responsive mouth a horse will never show the highest class of .action in front or behind. A horse that has too soft a mouth will never go up on the bit enough to get the proper amount of headway on, while the horse that pulls hard gets too much headway on and is not under proper control. Hence it will be seen that the making of action in a horse begins at least with his breaking and while it is true that something can be done later to make a horse go higher in front, it is an uphill job, unless the breaking has been properly accomplished from its initial stages. Therefore those who are seeking to breed high-priced carriage horses must never lose sight of this fact. If they let their horses' mouths be ruined at the start they have lost half or rather more than half of the battle. Naturally this immense call for high-acting horses has caused many inventions to be exploited as just the thing to make horse9 go right. Various sorts of hopples, some with springs and some with rubb.r pulleys, all designed to make the horse bend his legs fore and aft sharply at knee and hock, have been on the market, but none have ever gained any permanent sale. In the very nature of things rubber and springs can only aid the horse to jerk his feet up and then slam the'm down again on the ground, and that is no sort of action at all as action really is. Genuine high action of the typical sort is seen when the horse raises his front foot off the ground gracefully, brings it up high with a wide bend and then sets it forward and downward as though following the rim of a rolling wheel. That is about as unlike the jerky action described as it can be, and the judges nowadays give due weight to the possession of the right movement. Behind the hocks should be sharply flexed, carried close together, raised up high and then the foot set forward squarely beneath the body without any twist- ing inward or scythelike outward sweep. In order to obtain this sort of action it is necessary to breed for it, not try to make it. Those who are essaying to produce carriage horses should see to it that they use in the stud only stallions possessingsuch action and perfect balance of conformation. A horse may have a star-gazing way of going and threw bis front feet away up into the air and yet be far from commanding a high price, simply because he lacks balance. He never can be taught to do anything with hocks, for the same reason that he is all in front. The horse that goes high in front is better than the one that goes not at all, but the aim of the breeder should be to get all the money, so to speak, and not only part of it. Hence the well balanced stallion ia the one to buy. If he can go well fore and aft and has the typical conformation he is worthy paying a lot of money for, and will surely do hie owner good. Then if the colts by such a sire are properly broken their natural bent will suffice admirably to produce the action and contrivances of one kind and another will not be required. There is no short cut to the pro- duction of high-clas6 carriage horses with the right kind of action. The way to get them is to breed for them from well selected parents, not to take animals bred for some other purpose and then try by means of ingenious devices to transmogrify thtm into the semblance of the real article. The futility of the latter practice was well brought out at all the great horse shows of America the last two seasons. — Breeders' Gazette.

Mr. Griffith advises us that he has for sale a list of the best Btud dogs, brood bitches and best bred puppies in the West today. It will pay Collie fanciers to write for a descriptive circular. TAPE OB SPECIE? Cash prizes or ribbons is a vexed question with many exhibitors on the Atlantic side of the plantation and the argument is having a lively flailing out by the scribes, and fanciers who like to write to the papers. As to the merits of the case in the East, we are not prepared to say, circumstances and conditions there being beyond our sphere of observation. The champions, under both the silk and specie banners, are having their say, with the honors about even. The matter came up on the Coast when the S. F K. C. first decided to change the routine and award rib- bons and medals instead of coin. There was, of course, some opposition and much comment, but now the counter product has evidently come to stay, for this precedent has been religiously followed by about all of the Coast shows and seems to work, now, harmoniously. One point made by an Eastern writer and one whom we believe most thoroughly understands dog shows and all that pertains to the fancy, is that "Ribbon shows are the happy medium through which a pleas- ant chance to win a few honors is afforded that would not be possible in the money shows where the big kennelB and professionals sweep down and gobble up all the grist, which of course they have a perfect right to do, and by the same token the other exhibitor has a perfect right to show for a ribbon. A lot of fellows who cry out about shows doing this, that and the other, for exhibitors who do not help them out when they get in a hole, at least very few of them do, have very little idea of the expense and risk of even a rib- bon show, and especially is that risk great whe» the show is held in some country place where the gate has to be guaged with a microscope." Shows shall not die : For ribbon prizes ! Nay : The Kennel Club goes to't, and the small, gilded specialty clubs Does lecher in my sight. Let ribbon shows thrive Yea, let ribbon shows prosper, for many good reasons, among these we might urge the one, that if ribbon shows will help to cut down show expenses there might then accrue a fund for one legitimate expense, and we would thus avoid the unpleasant duty of respectfully declining the contribution of requested gratuitous advertising. The dove season opened on July 1st and closes February 15th next. Such la the State law, but this open season has been abridged Id many counties, among them Santa Clara, Yuba and Placer, where the open season begins August 1st. A. K. C. CLASSIFICATION. The Slud Book Committee recommended the follow- ing divisions of breeds to the last A. K. C. quarterly meeting which suggestion was adopted and the recog- nized breeds of dogs are now known as sporting, non- sporting and Terriers. Regarding the division of breeds into Bporting and noa-sporting divisions the Committee wasof the opin- ion that il they are so divided the recommendation of allotment be the following: Sporting: Chesapeake Bay, Bloodhounds, Otter Hounds, Foxhounds, Harriers, Beagles, Basset Hounds, Dachshunde, Greyhounds, Deerhounds Rus- sian Wolfhounds, Irish Wolfhounds, Setters, Retriev- erB, Irish Water Spaniels, Water other than Irish Spaniels, Clumber Spaniels, Sussex, Spaniels, Field Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, Pointers, Fox Terriers, Irish Terriers, Scottish Terriers, Welsh Terriers, Dandie Dinmont Terriers, Skye Terriers, Airedale Terriers, Bedlington Terriers, Whippets. Non-Sporting: French Bulldogs, Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Great Danes, Newfoundlands, St. Bernards, Collies, Old English Sheepdogs, Dalmatians, Poodles, Bull Terriers, Black and Tan Terriers, Toy Spaniels (as separately divided), Japanese Spaniels, Pekinese Spaniels, Yorkshire Terriers, Maltese Terriers, Italian Greyhounds. Chow Chows, Pomeranians, Pugs, Schip- perkes, Griffons Bruxellois, Boston Terriers, Chihua- huas, Foreign Dogs. ''Your Committee desires theassociation to consider the Bdvieability of dividing the breeds into three sec- tions, as follows: sporting, non-sporting and Terriers, believing that such a division might facilitate the judging of special prizes, which is the cause of thiB matter having been referred to the Committee. It would make fewer and more equal contestants In the June issue of the Kennel Gazette, the frontis- piece is a half tone picture of the Bulldog Ch. Felton Prince. The picture is a grand illustration of type and an object leBSon in one respect. The dog is well spread at the shoulders and has sturdy, almost straight forearms in contradistinction to some low- legged cripples that pass current for the upper crust in the breed. Dalmatians, notwithstanding the comparative scar- city of good ones, are in demand on the Coast We refer our readers to the announcement of Mr. Buck, of Sutter Creek, which appears on page 15 of thiB issue. Mr. James Cole of Kansas Ci*y judged at a show held at Calgarry, Alta, N. W. T..Can., on Wednesday. Kennel Suggestions. There has been a good deal said of late about kero- sene and salt as a cure for follicular mange and those obstinate skin diseases that sometimes visit the best of regulated kennels. Several instances were first given in the English papers of the efficacy of this v ery simple remedy, and we are in a position to add our mite. Some time ago a Cocker Spaniel was afflicted with what seemed like blood poisoning. The lips and legs and head swelled to abnormal size; great bulbs of soft mattery stuff formed on the sides, the shoulders and legs; looked like puff balls, and when pressed would exude a bloody matter; on some parts of the body dark blue spots would appear and on these being pressed, thin blood would spurt out, sometimes to the distance of a yard. The legs swelled out of all shape and were corrugated like an elephant's hide. At one time the flesh around. the shoulders and neck took on the appearance of the rough part of an alligator's hide. The bair fell out in most of the affected parts but not in the others, although the dog was finally almost denuded of hair The animal suffered a lot of pain. The eyes became affected. Every handy remedy that had proved efficacious on ordinary cases of skin diseases was tried, but without result and in most cases seemingly made the dog worse. The skin at times burnt like fire, and was very red. Finally the kerosene and salt was tried. Two table- spoonsful of salt being put to the pint of kerosene. The salt is not soluble in the oil so we cannot see where it is of any benefit except perhapB as a cleanser. However, after twoapplications(the first being a very weak solution) the swelling began to subside, and the dog to liven up, and continued to do so for two days, when the animal was washed in a hot bath. Some remains of the original trouble being Btill visible the dog was done over again with the kerosene mixture, and this left on for a day, when after another hot bath, the dog's skin began to peel off in scales leaving the surface as smooth as a glove. All swelling's disappeared, the legs and head assumed their natural form, appetite picked up and the dog began to take an interest in life once more, and is al- most as lively as ever, and moreover, the hair is be- ginning to come in again and everything looks as if in a month or two the Cocker, will be as well as before. Th'B was the worst case of three, though all were afflicted with exactly the same conditions. They were taken down very suddenly. They had been run- ning with several other puppies that have not been affected. Their quarters and feed and care have been of the very best, and the only way to account for the trouble is that when a neighboring field was spread with manure, they ate a couple of little puppies that had been thrown into the manure during the winter. This is not known as a fact but is presumed. The other puppies, brothers and sisters, have bad no troubles. Here is a case that is pertinent to the discussion aB to the efficacy of this kerosene treat- ment and which we can personally vouch for We might say that with the idea of avoiding blistering the skin, the 3-st time the kerosene was applied it was diluted with water, but that subsequently when it was found that this did not take hold as expected the full strength was applied with no blistering effects. In another case 6f obstinate skin disease that had re- sisted all the ordinary treatments, two or three appli- cations of the oil brought out a splendid coat with no recurrence of the trouble. The coat does not 6eem to be damaged in any particular, in fact the coat is im- proved. The low cost of the remedy brings it within the reach of all. Particular care must be taken after the oil is applied that the dog is kept quite warm and free from draughtB, or salivation may set in and all sorts of complications ensue that generally end in death. — The American Stock-Keeper.

An appeal has been promulgated n the name of these worthy associations, to the people jf this State, to build this much needed highway by public subscription. So well has the movement been received thus far that severaliodividualsubscriptlonsof $500 each have been received. The Big Basin Road Committee composed of: Arthur M. Free, Chairman; Andrew P. Hill, Secretary; Bank of San Jose, Treasurer; J. G. McMillan, Surveyor; W. P. Lyon, L. A. Spitzer, Jackson Hatch, Arthur M. Free, A. P. Hill, A. P. Murgotten, Finance and Executive Committee; Joint Committee— Alex. P. Murgotten. George S. Andrews, L. A. Spitzer, A. R. Wood hams, W. D. J. Hambly, Page Hollister, Pioneer Society; Rev. E. S. Williams, Dr. A. E. Osborne, W. P. Lyon, A. P. Hill, Lester Morse, Judge J. R. Welch, Sempervirens Club; Arthur M. Free, Fayette Mitchel- t^ee, H. W. McComas, G. B. Cottle, Fred Doerr, Chas. A. Thompson, Native Sons, have issued a circular de- scriptive letter together with subscription blanks which are being mailed to many individuals with the request for a donation for the laudable purpose explained. There has been a ready response in nearly every instance. A letter of inquiry addressed to Mr. Arthur M. Free, Chairman, or iu-fact, any of the above named committee, will meet with prompt attention. We recommend the enterprise to all of our readers who are interested in the development of this State to help make accessible this great natural attraction. The early completion of this road will make the Big Basin easily reached by a drive of about seventeen miles from the Santa Clara valley — from Saratoga Summit to the Park; a road open at all times and thus making the Park accessible to the whole State The State Redwood Park (Big Basin) and its Plio- cene forests, lying in the Santa Cruz mountains ten miles in an air line from the Santa Clara Valley, forty miles south of San Francisco, seventeen miles north- west from Santa Cruz, five miles distant from the sea, nineteen miles southwest of San Jose and ten miles by road from Boulder Creek, is a feature unique among California's marvels. It is one of the few spots that, owing to its peculiar geographical and geological formation, has retained the wealth of flora and beauty of the Pliocene Age. It has been bequeathed to us in its primitive condi- tion, almost unmarred, with itsgigantic Sempervirens trees (some having a diameter of more than twenty feet) the oldest and largest of their species. The rugged and romantic scenery of the Basin is especially pleasing. It is Burrounded by a mountain rim, traversed by great ridges of forest lands and deep wooded canyons with their gorges, and waterfalls and sparkling streams filled with trout contribute greatly to its interest. Its wonderful forests (said to contain fifty-four varieties of plants), its moss covered rocks and graceful ferns, wild azaleas and tiger lillies, tend to make a scene that for beauty, educational purposes and general interest stands unrivalled by any forest in the w*5rld. Its scientific and practical value to mankind is widely recognized. It is in a warm belt, possesses a peculiarly hygenic climate, owing to the topography of the country, and is in a district where froBt is seldom known. This Park is destined to be- come as famous for a winter as it is for a summer resort. It has excellent facilities for camping. A Burvey made in June of the present year, 1905, shows that the altitude at the oamping points selected varies from 1100 to 1500 feet. The elevation of the rim surrounding the Park varies from 1600 to 2600 feet above the sea. The Park can be made a place of such attraction that all tourists who visit California will feel that they should see at least the giant redwoods of the Big Basin before returning to their homes or completing their tour. GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. committee who will select a site upon which will be erected an elegant club house. The club will be in- corporated with a capital stock of $50,000, divided into shares of $100 each. The club membership will be limited to 100. TKUCKEE IN LINE. Early in June some fifty of Truckee's representative citizens and sportsmen met for the purpose of hearing Deputy Fish Commissioner Welch of this city and Game Warden Neate of Sacramento and also to com- plete the organization of a local association — The Truckee River Fish and Game Protective Association. The officers elected were: William Rowlison, presi- dent; W. O. Blinn and R. C. Koepkie of Iceland, vice- presidents; F. M.Rutherford, secretary and treasurer; Trustees, J. C. Hadley of Floriston, W. H. Rapp, Herman Wilkie, Chas. Cole and Stewart McKay. HUNTING DOGS. The season is now at hand when sportsmen will be eager to find a suitable dog to work to the gun during the coming open season. For upland shooting the Setter or Pointer has the call. For duck shooting the Irish Water Spaniel is the choice of many marsh hunters. Notwithstanding this climate is free from the rigorous conditions prevailing in the East and Middle West during the winter ducking season, or even which prevails up north, still it is asking too much of a short or thin coated dog to work in the water, for weather conditions here are cold enough at times to cause a dog much suffering. Finding a suitable bird-dog is one of the hardest possible things for the hunter. Some acquaintance may recommend a dog to him and claim for it every good quality with which a kind providence has en- dowed the denizens of dogdom, yet when he inspects the animal the hunter will see nothing extraordinary about him and think he is simply and ordinary "purp. " Frequently the hunter, especially if he is not familiar with dogs or type, will allow the general ap- pearance of the animal to have great weight with him. He may disapprove of the way the dog hangs his head, or because he is not always snooping around as if he were sniffing out game, or about to point. The only thing about a dog which always is doing these things which makes the average hunter think he wants him is the fact that it always keeps the spectatorin a state of suppressed excitement. This is not the quality of a high class dog, and nine times out of ten that style of dog is a false pointer and seldom an effective ranger. Few high class dogs of today have a great deal of tail action or style when ranging at speed, and only show this characteristic when nearing the game. The reason for this is due to the natural tendency of conservative energy. A great deal of unnecessary energy is consumed by excessive tail action and excite- ment. Many experienced trainers are coming to doubt the capacity of a dog which seems to be "making game" all the time. When is a dog broken? This is another question which seems to bother many. Dogs, which under the handling of one man show the greatest intelligence, are frequently singularly lacking in sense when another takes charge of them. These people seem to think a dog will remember anything when it is once taught. This is not true. A dog which is well broken this season is apt to forget a great portion of his teachings when next year comes and has to be broken over again. Many of the finest dogs are sensitive and Beem to fear having Btrangers near them. They are not timid when working after the game, however, and their owners need to remember that some of the best dogs in the country have this fault. Some Deerhounds will quit a trail and turn tail to it if they meet a stranger in the woods. Foxhounds, Beagles and even some Greyhounds seem to be afflicted this way, but if care and patience are shown they can soon be broken of this faulty habit. The Sutter Dove Club, composed principally of Sacramento sportsmen has been organized with a membership of twenty-two. The club has secured a lease of the McDermot tract near Hangtown Crossing and the preserve has been posted against poachers and trespassers. second, W. R.

Within a comparatively short period new country for the angler and hunter will be opened by means of several projected lines of railroad. One road contemplated will be constructed from Weeds station on the Southern Pacific in Siskiyou county to Klamath Falls, a distance of about 100 miles. This region is practically unknown to the angler and devotee of rifle or shotgun. The California Northwestern Railway has within a year or so extended its line first to Willitts and re- cently to Sherwood, Mendocino county, thus opening up for the sportsman a region hitherto only accessible by vehicle or horseback, a trip denied for obvious reasons, to the main body of sportsmen. The proposed electric line, which will tap the coast shore region between this city and Santa Cruz, will give access to a territory bountiful in the extreme for outing, camping, trout and sea fishing, deer and small game shooting. A SWELL M.VRYSVILI.I-: CUB. The recently organized Tule Hunting Club of Marysville has leased nearly 18,000 acres of what is claimed to be "the finest shooting grounds in the world," for a period of ten years. The opportunities for duck shooting, trout and black bass fishing, com- bined, are unequalled. The initiation fee for member- ship is placed at $100, a low figure. It is expected the club will be fully organized within a short period. Col. E. A. Forbes, Dr.J.H. Barr, A. O. Frye, C. F Aaron, H. D. King and J. W. Stewart compose a A big team shoot will come off at the grounds of the Vallejo Gun Club on Sunday, July 23d. The fol- lowing clubs will enter five man teams: Golden Gate, Union and Empire Gun Clubs of San Francisco, Santa Rosa Gun Club, St. Helena Gun Club, Vallejo Gun Club and Hercules Gun Club of Pinole, Cal. Each club is privileged to enter as many teams as desired. The race will be for a trophy — best two out of three wins for permanent ownership, 25 targets and $5 entrance per team. The winning team to name place of next contest for the trophy. The committee in charge of the shoot will be: M. A. Clark, Vallejo Gun Club, Captain of the day; Thos. L. Lewis, Secretary of the Union Gun Club, Manager; and J. W. Elias, Secretary of the Vallejo Club; F. W. Hesse, Jr , Captain of the Santa Rosa Gun Club; Edgar L. Forster, Secretary of the Golden Gate Gun Club: J. B. Hauer, Secretary of the Empire Gun Club; W. Hanson, Captain of the Hercules Gun Club and W. Sink, Captain of the St. Helena Gun Club. This shoot will be well attended by members of the clubs mentioned and visiting shooters. Twenty-six guns lined up before the bulkhead on the 2d inst. at Ingleside at the Golden Gate Gun Club shoot. Weather conditions were almost too warm for comfort and undoubtedly affected a number of scores. The winners in the club race, 100 targets, were: Champion class— E. L. Forster and Ed Schultzdivided first and second money, A. J. Webb third money, M. O. Feudner fourth, a-ud M. J. Iverson fifth money. First class— W. J. Golcher first money, F. Schultz The Vallejo Gun Club shoot, June 25th, was well attended. O'Hara, Chappell, Clark, P. Magistrini and C. Mayfield of Napa were the high guns for the day. C. Drake was high gun in the club race. The club grounds are now fitted up with two sets of traps Among the latest names on the membership list are those of C. Mayfield and W. White At the last shoot a number of team events were shot. Captain Chap- pell's team prevailed over Captain Drake's. The scores in the regular club shoot at 25 targets were: Drake 24, Chappell 23, Comfort 22, Clarke 21, Carter 20, Mayfield 19, P. Magistrini 18, Burnett 18, O'Hara 18, Shouse 18, Dr. Turner 18, Wisecarver 17, Coel7, S. Magistrini 16, Elias 16, Evans 16, W. Beve- ridge 14, Rose 13, Dr. Arnold 12, G. Murray 11. A high wind was blowing during the shoot, which accounts for the lower percentage of several shooters. The club is in an exceedingly prosperous condition and is planning many new improvements, among which are a grandstand for the ladies, as many of the wives and friends of the members find a great deal of enjoyment in attending the sbootB. Another bulk- head and set of traps, which will make three altogether will be put in and will be ready this season, when the big shoot is held. At the Bakersfield Blue Rock Club shoot, June 25th, F. N. Schofield made the highest approximate aver- age, 63 out of 70 targets, 90%; Clem Wilson was next with 87%, 110 out of 115. Captain Shatter, U. S. A., scored 84%. There is much enthusiasm over the sport in Bakersfield and the club is in a flourishing con- dition. The scores made at this shoot were: Shot at Broke Per Ct. Scofleld, F.

The former club won by a big margin— 14S to 117. Six events were on the card and a barbecue was an appetizing and appreciated side issue during the luncheon hour. The first prize in the merchan- dise event was annexed by Curtis of Paso Robles. The results in the team shoot were: San Luis team — Younglove 14, Van Schaick 14, Mc Caffrey 11, Van Scoy 13, Guthrie 10, Soto 14, Maino 12, Taylor 14, Holmesley S, Estudillo 16, Greenfield 11, Call 11; total 148 out of 200.

James Drumgoole of Anaconda won the state cham- pionship medal at the recent Bozeman tournament. He also annexed the medal for high average. He was the recepient of a handsome leather gun case presented by tbe Anaconda Gun Club for making the best con- secutive run of break6— 290 Btraight, a pretty good record. The old State Fair grounds at Sacramento are now a thing of the past, the tract having been cut up into building lots The favorite trap shooting grounds for Sacramento sportsmen passed at the same time. The location for the new fair grounds is now in full preparation for the coming fair in September.

The blue roe* bulkheads have been remov-d from the extreme ea.t end of the grounds and set up again on the eastern portion of '^b^ewmbe found to be decidedly for the better. Tbe western portion of the shooting ground is well sheltered and surrounded by high fencing which is quite an advantage to the shooter when the wes-.erlv trade winds are hurtling across the outfield. Another advantage is that tbe shooters can now do all of their trap shootiDg in one enclosure conveniently and without a rather long walk from one section to the other. The California Wing Ulub live bird shoot for July Is the card at Ingleside tomorrow. Blue rock shooters are invited to attend the regular monthly shoot of the Empire Gun Club at Alameda Junction tomorrow. The Bakersfield trap shooting grounds ate equipped with a Leggett trap. WITH THE ANGLERS. Black bass fishing has been excellent recently in Ballard's lake, near Olivette on the California North- western Railway. The killing lure now is a fly, red bodied, tinsel wound, with a canary tall and hare lug wings This fly, on a No. 6 sproat, was found to be a killer by an angler at the lake, two weeks ago. Jack Sammi sent one down to John Benn, who immediately tied a number of flies according to pattern. They were found to be just what the doctor ordered. Black bass fishing on the Russian river riffles be- tween Guerneville and Russian River Heights is reported to be excellent. Fishing for bass in the river in the vicinity of Duncans is also good. A minnow bait is the proper lure for the river fishing. Striped bass fishing in Lake Merritt is productive of a deal of sport at present. On Sunday last there was a fleet of boats out. about forty fish wera landed. Clam bait is the proper caper for catching bass in the lake President W. Price landed his first bass, a four-pounder on the 4tb. He went out on a venture, a regatta was booked there for the day and this prom- ised anything but sport for an angler. Nevertheless he rowed over to a spot indicated by John Fatjo, chummed with a dozen or so fat clams, put his tackle over and before bis baited hook struck bottom he had a strike and caught a nice bass. Other anglers out on Tuesday returned to the boat house sunburnt and disguested. A report received this week states that striped bass are exceedingly numerous again off San Pablo and that the fish average somewhat heavier than a few weeks ago. Tbe San Antone has been prospected fruitlessly by several fishermen recently. Mr. Sbattuck of the Petaluma Gun Club Is credited with a take of sixteen fine fish a week ago. Sam A. Heller, a courteous gentleman and a true BportsiniiD, passed away in this city last Sunday. Mr. Her was a popular member of the San Francisco -Oa-itlng Clubaod alsoof theCalifornia WingClub. He was an enthusiastic angler and a most congenial companion on the stream. In business circles of this city be had the esteem and confidence of his asso- ciates and ho was also an appreciated figure in a select social circle. His demise is mourned by many friends with whom we tender to his surviving relatives our sincere sympathy. Anglers who have made tbe trip to the Hetch- are loud 10 tbelr praises of a district whlc.'lt i» claimed, is an ideal troutlng country. A number of stream-,, tributaries of tbe Tuolumne river —the Middle Fork, South Fork, Cherry CreeK, It incberia Creek and Tiltlll Creek, are teeming with rainbow and brook trout ol good size. In the lakes of this region, Elinor, Laurel, Harden and Tenaiya, besides numerous o.hersmaller bodies of water, spoon ©tte gveebev cmfc Qpovtzmaxx [July 8, 1905 and fly-fishing can be had in an almost unfished territory. .. There are two routes into the valley, one by rail- road to Oakdale, where the angler can take the Sierra Railway to Chinese Camp, and thence by horseback into the valley; the other route is by railroad to Mer- ced and then by stage to his destination. The trip going and coming will take several days, but it is worth the time for a vacation. In the valley the angler can find good accommoda- tion at University Camp, which is maintained by the students of California and Stanford Universities. Trout fishing at Boca is reported excellent. Carlos G. Young and H. W. McNoughtonleft for this famous Truckee angling resort a week ago. James S. Turner, J. Burns and wife and Joseph Dober will spend the coming week at that point. Thomas C. Kierulff, the popular secretary of the Fly -Casting Club, together with his wife and son, are enjoying trout fishing in the vicinity of Dutch Flat. The streams of the Yosemite Valley are annually "fished to death," so to speak. None but expert anglers, however, can usually show results for their efforts. Tradition has it that the Indians of the valley are the only fishers for trout who have been successful to any extent. The Indians are essentially market fishermen, and Bupply the hotels and camps with almost all of the "fresh trout" in the valley hotel cuisine That the Indians are infallible has been proven a myth time and again, when the know- ing angler went after trout. Good fishing in the valley is now to be found only at remote waters, where the general run of visitors do not care, or do not know, where to go. Joseph Leidig is a young man who was born in the valley and is a most skilled angler. Leidig knows every stream and rock in the Yosemite and Heteh-Hetchy valleys. John Butler returned from Castella on Wednesday. He spent a week at that point enjoying some spirited fly-fishing. Trout fishing at that point must be excellent, or will be until the spawning salmon arrive up river, for Judge K. M. Jackson, among others, has caught many fish there. Last week Mr. Fred M. Haight received from tbe judge, a rainbow trout, that weighed dressed 5J pounds. Salmon are running plentifully at Santa Cruz, Capitola and Monterey. Many fine heavy fish are being taken daily by anglers out in boats, the Wilson spoon seems to be the tempting tid bit (?) for the fish just at present. Otto Feudner and Ed Schultz stopped over at Rogue river on their return from the Northwest tournament at Portland. They spent several days on that grand Oregon trout stream at and near the fish hatchery some thirty-three miles from Metford, Or. Mr. Malcolm S. McKeown, a Metford business man, looked after the two anglers while in his baili- wick and they received royal treatment. The fishing was excellent, many large-sized rain- bows were taken. The Rogue river fish are "dead game sports" (after getting in the creel), they strike with a rush and put up a lusty fight, and our two shooters had most enjoyable sport. was won by Mr. W. Stannard, and first amate ur avei age by Mr. A. Molle, both shooting Peters' factor; loaded shells. Quite a remarkable score was made on the grounds of the Indianapolis Gun Club, June 3d, by Mr. G. M. ' Kanouse of St. Paul, Ind. He was high man for the day, breaking 96% and attributed his excellent score-' to the use of Peters' factory loaded high gun shells. 15 1 At Ardmore, Ind. Ter., June 5th, 6th and 7tb, Peters' shells were decidedly in evidence. Mr. C. P. j Renst was high amateur and Mr. J. S. Day high pro- fessional. At Dublin, Ind., June 8th, Mr. C. A. Young waB-| high gun, Mr. L. H. Reed second, and Messrs. Kirby, i Peters and Clark tie for third. The entire bunch I using Peters' shells, of course. On June 9th at Ruffsdale, Pa., Mr. R. S. Denniker | won high average, Mr. Ed Hickey second, and Mr Robert West, third— all using Peters' factory loaded shells. A SPLENDID 16-GACGE SCORE. One of the greatest scores that has come to our notice of late, made with a sixteen bore gun, was the performance at Trinidad, Colo., on June 15, Mr. P. W. Caldwell, shootiog a 16-gauge Parker gun, made a score of 72 out of a possible 75, making a straight score of three twenty-fours out of a possible twenty- five. This is a wonderful performance with a 16-gauge gun, and a short time previous dr. Caldwell broke 48 out of 50 at 16 yards with his 16-gauge Parker. At London, Ont., Mr Harry Marlott, with the Parker gun, on June 8th, at i7 and 21 yards rise scored 162 out of a possible 175, winning high average. This is a pretty good record. Mr S. C Yocum of Shamokin, Pa., at the Sbamo- kin Gun Club broke 47 out of 50 and 96 out of 100. Mr. Yocum is strictly an amateur and is a staunch supporter of his "Old Reliable" Parker. At the Ohio State tournament, Canton, O., D. A. Upson, shooting a Parker gun, won first general average for the three days, with 476 out of a possible 500. F. H Snow shooting a Parker gun also, was second with 474 out of 500. Frank D. Alkire made the longest continuous run during the tournament of ton days with high amateur average for the third day, losing 8 only out of 235. R. R. Rhoades with a Parker gun won high amateur average the second day, losing only 5 birds out of 160. The "Old Reliable" Parker was much in evidence, and such records as above prove absolutely that the Parker is the winner of the age. Trout fishing is still reported to be good in the Santa Clara valley and contiguous Coast streams. Al M. Cummings at last accounts was at Webber lake and having great sport with the trout. Independence and Tahoe lakes are both inviting now to the angler, the fishing is first-class. TRADE NOTES. t. « AVERAGES REPORTED. Rochester. Ind., June 1st and 2d, W. R.

Twenty- three shooters faced the trapB. The chief event of the day's meeting was tbe conteet for the Bekeart Cup — a very pretty race and closely contested by Messrs. Webb, Feudner, E. Schultz, C. C. Nauman and C. A. Haight. Mr. Webb winning out with 90%. Without exception the shooters in this event used U. M. C. ammunition exclusively. It Bhould appear unnecessary to further emphasize the value of the U. M. C. products, a simple statement of tbe con- tinued use by experts being sufficient, to prove the sterling qualities of accuracy and genuine popularity. Of the twenty-three contestants in the regular shoot, twenty were exclusive users of the U. M. C. ammunition. AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE. The following circular letters received this week are self-explanatory and will be read with interest by many of our readers. Mr. Phil B. Bekeart, President of the Phil B. Bekeart Co. states: I beg to advise you that I have sold out my Tire Agencies and Tire Repair Shcps, both in this city and ' in Los Angeles, to The Fisk Rubber Co., who after July 1st, will conduct these branches for their own ! account. Injustice to myself and The Fisk Rubber Co., I deem it proper to state that I resigned from the Fisk Agency, for the following reason: I could not handle the increased business of the Fisk Rubber Co. and still da justice to my largely increased gun business. I intend in the future to confine myself to my gun and sporting good6 business. Before ceasing our business relations, I take this opportunity of thanking you for past favors, and of bespeaking your continued interest in the future, for The Fisk Rubber Co. and the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. The Fisk Rubber Co. announces through Mr. G. E. Johnson, Pacific Coast Manager: We beg to advise you that on July 1st, we will open a branch in this city, temporarily located at 146 Second St., second floor, pending the completion of a building now being erected for us at 409 Golden Gate ovenue, where we will handle our own account on tbe Pacific Coast, This change has been brought about at request of the P. B. Bekeart Co., who formerly handled our account in this territory, for reasons with which you are already fa'miliar, through notice from them. We wish to thank you fer past favors given us through the Bekeart Co., and can assure you that with our policy to make the best goods possible, regardless of cost, and with building constructed for our use we can give you both goods and service, of which there will be no cause for complaint.

One hundred pounds of milk consists of approximately eighty five to eighty six pounds of water and fourteen to fifteen pounds of solids of whi; h in round numbers nearly one-third is butter fat. The Babcock test is simply a chemical means of measuring what proportion of milk is fat. A fair sample is measured into a bottle and an equal amount of sul- phuric acid breaks up the solids not tat, leaving the fat to raise into the neck of the test bottle by means of centrifugal force developed in the tester. In the proceBS of churning the fat is collected together during which more or less water is imprisoned in it, also a little curd : the salt is added to it in the pro- cess of working so that butter contains something in addition to pure fat. A given quantity of fat will therefore make more butter than the actual pounds of [at. This mount of butter made more than the fat is commonly spoken of as over-run and will vary from ten to fifteen per 100 pounds fat in ordinary creamery. It might through carelessness be entirely lost so that the churned butter would not be greater than the amount of fat in the milk delivered. Again under varying conditions which are not as thoroughly understood as iB desired, it may run more than fifteen pounds. The question to whom thiB over-run belongs is one that is often raised. I believe that the simplest method of ac- counting is about as follows: Supposing for instance the milk tested four and four- tenths. It would therefore contain four and four-tenths per cent butter fat. 1000 pounds of this milk would bring to the creamery 440 poundB fat. If this made up into butter produces 506 poundB of butter there would be fifteen per cent over-run. Supposing this 506 pounds of butter to be sold when butter was worth twenty-eight cents a pound the creamery would receive $141.68. From this the creamery must pay itB running expenses and pay for the fat. This mry be done in either of two ways. The actual expense may be deducted from the total receipts and the balance divided among the patrons on the basis of fat delivered, or if the creamery either a private or stock com- pany, agrees to make the butter for fixed price per pound, from tnree and one-balf to four and one-half being a common charge, for the saxe of illustration we will deduct four centB a pound for making. This on 506 pounds of butter would amount to $20.24, leaving $121.44 to be divided among the patrons Since this is the amount that 440 pounds of fat is worth, one pound of fat would be worth 1,140th or 27>£c. Each patron should therefore receive 27^c a pound for each pound of fat delivered by him. In the case of a stock company, should the amount deducted at four cents a pound for making be more than enough to pay freight, commission, labor, fuel, repairs, etc., the balance may be held against a time when new equipment is needed or it may be apportioned among the stockholders as a dividend on the money they have invested. It is fair in either case since the patronB have received all the proceeds of the sale of their product leBS the four cents which the creamery was to get for making, and they get this whether the over-run be large or small. It is to the interest of the creamery to have as large an over-run as possible. The more pounds of butter there are sold the larger the receipts for making. On the other hand there is no encouragement for them to either to raise or lower the teBt because their receipts are not in- fluenced by the results of the test, aa the pounds of butter made depend on th« pounds of fat actually delivered not on what the test shows. With the present prices a good four- bottled tester is within the reach of any farmer who is milking four or five cows. He should have one not only to know whether or not the test is being cor- rectly made at the creamery, but to know what his individual cowb are do- ing. The difference in the cost of keep- ing different cows in a herd will as a rule not vary over $10 on an ordinary farm, while the returns per cow will vary as much as $3 or $40 between the best and poorest. It is not an uncommon experi- ence to find one cow not even paying for the feed she eats, to say nothing of hav- ing a margin for interest and deprecia- tion. This is a matter that needs attention. A man who keeps five or six cows as a sideline can no more afford to keep an unprofitable cow than he who Is keeping twenty as an important part of his busi- ness.— JB. E. Van Norman, Indiana Ex- periment Station. American Bacon Hogs. Our bacon hog differs considerably from the English bacon hog. There is, how- ever, a growing tendency toward the tpyical bacon type The indications point to the fact that we are at the "parting of the way," and that in the future, we will have a place for the ideal bacon hog as well as for the fat or lard hog. Corn ia at present being used for other purposes, such aa the manufacture of corn starch, whisky, and oil. The latter ia used for various purposes, as for lu- bricating, a table oil, aa a Bubatitute for olive oil, linseed oil, etc. This has caused the price of corn to go up to nearly what other grains, used as hog feeds, are worth. At the same time, a ration of all corn, which usually forms the principal part of the feed of the fat or lard hog, is coming to be generally recognized as detrimental to the best development of swine from the breeder's standpoint These things are the cause of a gradual drifting toward a more mixed ration in Bwine feeding, and usually a ration containing more protein or flesh forming material. Coupled with thiB, there is not so great a demand for fat pork aB there formerly was, and shipping and cold Btorage facilities are much better, consequently more fresh and lean meats are used. These various factors are gradually, but most Burely effecting a change in the character of swine in the United States. The all fat hog of the past will in the future he partly replaced by the bacon hog, and the fat or lard hog as a whole will in the future more nearly approach the bacon hog in form than in the past. Of course, there will always be a demand for lard, consequently there will always be a place for the fat or lard hog. But the bacon hog will occupy a more prominent position in the future than he has in the past. There is a demand from foreign coun- tries and more largely from our own country, for bacon, and there being few bacon hogs to supply the demand, the trade is supplied from the lighter hogs of the fat or lard hog type. This bacon however, does not command so high a price on the market as does bacon from typical bacon hogs. The bacon hogs under consideration here weigh from 155 to 195 pounds, and range in age from six to eight months. They are simply hogB selected from the light hogs in general, that conform as nearly as pos- sible to the bacon type. They are not very fat, have fairly good development of muscle, or lean meat, and are as long and deep inside as iB possible to obtain them. About 20 per cent of the light hogs that come to the Chicago market are of this type. Choice bacon hogs are the best of this class; they are hogs that show good length and depth, good quality and are smooth, well developed, and not very fat. They are hoga that have had con- siderable exercise and have not been fed on an exclusive corn ration. These bacon hogs are selected for the most part from shipments that come from outside of the corn belt, where the prin- cipal feed is similar to that used in Great Britain, Denmark and Canada for bacon production, viz., oats, barley, rye, peas, skim milk and pasture. These are the feeds that are conducive to the production of the best bacon when fed to hogs of the bacon type, and when fed to hoga of the fat, or lard bog type bacon hoga such aB we have under discussion here are produced. These bacon hogs have more fat on the out- side and less leao meat on the inside of their carcasses than the typical bacon hogs, but are better in these respecta than the typical fat, or lard hogs. In truth, thiB bacon bog ia an intermediary between the fat or lard hog and the typical bacon hog, being more like the former than the latter. The good bacon hoga of this class may be of poorer quality, may be lower in condition or may be too fat or too much of the fat hog type. Any one or all of these conditions would be the cause of hogs grading lower than choice. If there is a still more marked defi- ciency in these characteristics, the hog will grade as a common bacon hog. But this hog has sufficient quality and con- dition to show that he haa been well fed and has been fed so that his Bides will do to cure for the cheaper grades of bacon. — William Deitrich. Dairy Notes. By keeping the cows clean there will be little danger of Btringy milk. The cow that tests below 3 per cent butter fat is not worth keeping in the dairy herd. The more study the dairyman puts into his occupation the more success will he attain. Keep things about the farm dairy clean. Elbow grease costs effort but it's worth the candle when it cornea to clean milk, clean separators, clean butter and and a clean trade The enormous ealeB of cream separators show the value of the separator on the farm. The warm skim milk for feeding purposes soon pays for the cost of a machine. Sorghum planted this month in rows and cultivated like corn, then shredded for winter cow feed makea a good milk producing food in the winter time. To make profits with dairy butter, have the cream ripened properly, churn at the rignt temperature, wash the granulated butter until the butter milk iB removed, work the butter juBt enough, salt with judgment and pack neatly. The dairy cow and the hog make an excellent combination. Not only do they pay well but they take little fertility from the farm. Let ub have more ''cow-hog" combines and then we will hear of leBS farmer farm-separations. Where calves are "brought up by hand," bo to speak, the rule to stay by first, last and all the time is : Keep every- thing clean and sweet, feed regularly and carefully, and use kindness above all. If you are feeding skim milk to calveB, don't make the mistake of feeding a larger quantity than you would feed if whole milk were given them. This is a mistake that so many make, and the re- sult is that their calves are troubled with scours. The dust and air of most cow stables is loaded with bacteria, and when they get into the milk they multiply at the rate of millions per minute. The milker's duty to bie family and to humanity in general when be is milking is a serious matter. Is the air in the etable pure and free from duat during milking? Would he be willing and glad to get a plate of soup while he ib milking a cow? If not, why not? Isn't milk a human food, and isn't the milk pail that ia under the cow being filled with food for hia table? After cleaning out the cow stable at leaat twice each year, sprinkle plaBter over the floor to aid in absorbing the liquid and in preserving the wooden floors. Cement floors do not need plaster as they may be flushed with water from a hose. Cement mangers and iron Btalls are now put into cow stables and are proving very satisfactory. Dehorning of Cattle. ProfesBorSpellman of the Agricultural Department, declares it is possible to de- horn a whole breed of catt'e by introduc- ing into the breed a single pure polled animal, though this would require more inbreeding than is desirable. The problem is much eaBierwhen a number of breeders work in parallel lines, so that strains are always available that are not closely re- lated. The only difficulty in applying the principles of Mendel's law in dehorn- ing a breed of cattle arise from the fact that the hybrid animal is itself polled, although it is capable of transmitting both the polled character and the horned character to its offspring. The general principle to be used as a working basis is the important fact that when a number of crosses are Becured between polled and horned animals and theBe crosses themselves are crossed, one- fourth of the progeny will be pure polled animals incapable of transmitting hornB to their progeny, and theBe pure polled animals are to be used as a basis upon which to build a polled breed. It is entirely practicable for every breeder to secure enough of these pure polled animals as a basis on which gradually to work out the horned animals and increase the pure poll until they con- stitute his entire herd. Raising Calves by Hand. Improvements in stock and methods of feeding young calves have resulted in new ideas in regard to raising calves by hand. Every one who has tried it has experienced difficulty in keeping them thrifty and in securingreasonablegrowth. It is quite possible by observing the little necessary things to raise calves just as well by hand as in the natural way. Cleanliness about all utensils and care in feeding the milk warm, with judgment as to quantity, aeems to cover the ground. It is possible to raise calves profitably on warm separator milk by subatituting whole oats for the cream removed. One of the advantages in band raising ia that after the calf is grown sufficiently to go on dry feed it does better than a calf raised by the cow. Early maturity no doubt is hindered by hand feeding, but it is made up fully or nearly so by educating the calf to hustle for itself to a certain extent. A few years ago the idea of making baby beef out of hand fed calves was considered absurd, but in the past two years this has come to be an established custom in certain dairy sections. Holatein calves are fed by hand and turned off as profit- able baby beef at the age of from sixteen to twenty months, and they have been made to gain an average of 134' pounds per day, figuring from birth.

There is probably no disease, aside from the strictly contagiouB diseases, j which causes so great a financial loss to etoc'i owners as does colic, writes Dr. Barnes of the Kansas agricultural college. There are a great many causes of colic, but improper food and water are the main ones. Good food and water given either at irregular times or in too large quantities may cause colic. Highly con- centrated foods, Buch as peas, beanB, corn, etc., which are difficult to digest, are also fruitful causes of colic. There is generally more of this disease in the spring when there is an extra amount of work to be done, and the horses are given large feeds of grain to which they are not accustomed. In these cases more work is done by the animal syBtem and the body also has additional work thrown upon it in using this unnecessary food. The stomach and intestines are the organs most easily deranged in colic. Irregular feeding will bring on this disease. The animals go too long a time before eating, and then when allowed to eat, gorge themselves. The stomach be- ing in an exhausted condition cannot take care of this enormous amount of food. Other causes of colic may be mentioned, feeding an animal first and then watering him, causing the grain to be carried undi- gested into the intestines before it is ready for the action of intestinal fluids; sudden changes in the grain ; feeding while the animal is exhausted; new grain or hay, also sour food ; sucking wind into the stomach, eating stones, sand or sandy food; constipation; worm in the intes- tines; inflammation of the intestines, kidneys or lining of the abdomen; rupture of navel or scrotum; eating irritants, as chemicals, and lead poisoning. The first symptoms of colic observed in a horse is pain expressed by restlessness, pawing, kicking the belly with the hind leg, switching the tail, looking at the flanks, rolling and throwing himself violently down and then jumping up again lying on the back, reiusing food, straining to pass water and manure. If the colic is caused by fermenting foods, the animal will bloat. The tem- perature and respiration are about normal but in spasmodic colic respiration is hurried during the spasm. Food and water should not be given a horse at meal time until he is cool. He ■hould not be allowed to stand in a draft after he has been overheated. Unless the weather is warm, a woolen blanket ought t)be placed over the animal to absorb the sweat. After he is cool give him water, next a feed of hay, and lastly the grain. A horse should not be allowed to remain in the stable several days without exercise and receive the same amount of food as when working. Kew grain must be fed sparingly at first to avoid indigestion. During hot weather the water should be run into a tub and warmed by the heat of the sun before the horse drinks it at the noon hour or at night. Always water horses before and not after feeding. A point to be emphasized is regular feeding and not abrupt changeB in the nature of the feed. Horses should not be put to active work immediately after a meal. In treating for colic first of all put the patient in a large stall with plenty of straw. If a stall is not available, put him in a yard which can be well bedded. A colic patient should have some competent person to attend him constantly. If the weather is cold, blanket him. Just as soon as possible give a medium sized boraea quart of raw lineeed oil. Then if the anirnal has cramp colic (spasmodic colic) give one-half ounce chloral hydrate in a pint of water. In an hour give another dose of chloral if the animal con- tinues, to show pain. An hour later give two drachma fluid extract Cannabis Indica, one-half drachm fluid extract Belladonna in a half pint of water, even though the patient may seem easier. If the horse becomes violent again it may be necessary io resort to the chloral in half ounce doses. In Duying the chloral it is well to have the druggist put it up in half ounce packages. Be sure to give the oil first, as the object in all kinds of colic is to get rid of the subBtance causing the trouble. If the horse has wind colic, after giving the oil, then give one-half drachm fluid extract belladonna, one ounce turpentine and a half drachm of fluid extract of nux vomica in a pint of milk. Walk the horse around and aid him to pais wind by rubbing the belly with wiBps of hay or straw. If gas accumulates to such an extent that it is necessary to puncture the intestines, use a trocar and canula. This instrument is boiled for five minuteB or more and when cool is introduced into the intestines on the right side of the horse in the center of the triangle formed by the hip bone, laBt rib and the bones running at right angleB at the back bone. Summer Care oi the Milch Cow. A point in the summer care of the milch cow that is of vital importance and which is very frequently overlooked is that of keeping her up to her normal flow of milk. It is an oft-proved fact that the cow which is allowed to shrink for want of sufficient feed or protection from heat and flies cannot be brought back to her normal flow when these adverse con- ditions are passed and good feed and favorable conditions are again supplied, writes Prof. Van Norman in Orange Jucld Farmer. If ehe is allowed to shrink four or five pounds per day for days or weeks at a time, good feed may increase this a pound or two, but it will not bring it b-ck to the former mark. This fact emphasizes the importance of something to supplement the scant pas- ture in the summer time. It will pav to plant a little early sweet corn, to be fol- lowed by the regular field corn. Often where there is plenty of 6ilo capacity, there will be silage left from the winter feeding. This, if left nndisturbed, will mold on the surface, but when pasture gets short this bad layer can be thrown off and the silage is ready for use. It is important at this season of the year that at least two inches be removed every day, as the warm weather causes a very rapid fermentation and sour ailage is not a desirable food. If it is possible to provide a dark shed, where the cowe may go in the middle of the day and avoid the sun and flies, it iB a most profitable provision. Most dairy- men find it desirable to continue the grain ration throughout the summer, re- ducing the quantity when the grass is flush and lessening the proportion of corn and other healing feeds. Most cow ownerB have something on the farm which they can feed to supple- ment pasture. The important thing is to do it. Do not allow the ccwe to shrink, as a shrinkage of two or three pounds a day is not merely a Iobs for the time being, but ia very much less throughout the remainder of the season. Make your plans now to prevent this loss. Have a patch of corn where it is the least trouble to get it to the cowb. Everyone can at least do this. Capons May Be Easily Grown. No one is better situated to raise capons than the farmer. On the average farm the additional work required to raise from 100 to 200 capons would not be noticed, and most of this work can be attended to in the winter when time is plentiful with the farmer. In the neighborhood of Fairbury, 111., a great many capons are raised every year, and are found to be very profitable. There are many stories told about the sizes to which capons grow, while the truth is that the ordinary capon will grow to but one or two pounds more than the ordinary uncaponized cockerel would in the same time, and to secure this additional weight extra feeding is necesBary. In preparation for capon raising it is wise to hatch about twice the number of chickens aa capon desired, for fully half are likely to be pullets. The pullets may be kept for egg production or may be sold for spring chickens, thus securing enough money to pay for the raising of the whole flock up to the time the cockerels are old to caponize- — which is about twelve weeks. The operation of caponizing does not require much skill, though the beginner will pr bably kill two or three at the start, which will not be lost, for they bleed to death in about the same time as if their throats had been cut, and are exactly as good for table purposes as if bled in the latter way. A set of tools for caponizing costs from $1.50 to $2, and with each set is sent directions that anyone can follow. After the caponizing the cockerels be- come quiet and docile, and when fed they eat their fill and sit quietly around until feeding time again. Capons always retain that Bweetness and juciness of flesh that is characteristic of the spring chicken the reason why they bring such high prices. They are fed much as other fowls would be, only eating more. About all they eat goes to the formation of juicy, palatable flesh. They are ready to sell February lBt, and the demand for them keeps up as long aB they can be bought. A few years ago capons commanded hardly any attention in the west, and do not yet bring the prices they do in the Eastern cities. A9 the average Plymouth Rock capon will weigh seven or eight pounds, it will be seen that the capon sells for from 40 to 50 cents more than the chicken of the same age, and the differ- ence in the cost of raising is insignificant. — Exchange. • ■ Hens Need Lime. Finish for the Block. By proper finish in an animal of any kind we mean that the muacles of it have been properly and extensively enough expanded to warrant good returns when cooked. If the animal is only "warmed up" with feed, but not finished, we are likely to find the cells of the muscles very - flaccid, and when cooked resulta will show a decided losa due to the evapora- tion of water, says Kimball's Dairy Farmer. If, however, the animal ia over- fattened another condition preBentB itself. The cells now are expanded, and among, them are laid large flakes -of fat. So ex- tenBive are these that in cooking a great loss here also occurB. TMb Iobb ie not due to that of water, but of oil. The meat from such a piece, in addition to being extremely rich, producing nauseating affectB in some cases when eaten often, tends to become stringy. The hog when properly finished ia firmer than before or after that point has been reached. To tell just when it ia attained requires Borne experience, but it can be done wfth great Bkill after a little training. A great many buyers are not discriminating against improperly fin1 iehed hogs, so much as one might expect, but a nickel to fifteen cents per hundred weight is not unusual. If we were to make cuts in prices auch as we are war. ranted in making after having observed the resulta of the cooking test, they would in all probability, be much heavier thai those indicated above by two or thref times. The time is fast approaching whei finish will cut as much figure as quality in fact, part of the discriminations tha are now laid againat quality are in realit; laid againat finish. The time to learn i before the war haa begun. A mon opportune time than now cannot b< found. No one iB bo well situated to raise thoroughbred fowls as the farmer. Plenty of room, plenty of fresh air, plenty of green stuff in summer and clover and waste vegetables in winter, are advantages he has over half the fanciers. He can raiee his fowls cheaper, keep them cheaper and they will be larger, hardier and more vigorous than those of the breeder who muet keep both his old and young stock in contracted quarters the year around. Sponges. S. Adderley, 307 Market St Hens that get bo crazy for egg shells usually have been improperly fed and they crave lime. Hens in their natural state produce very few eggs and require little lime for the manufacture of shells. By careful breeding, conditions have been arbitrarily changed until a good hen will now pro- duce eix times her own weight in egga during the year. It takes considerable lime to make shells for so many eggs and unless this ia provided for, the hens acquire an abnormal appetite and will eat egg sheila or anything else that will aatisfy them. Hens that have once acquired the habit are difficult to handle afterwards because they never forget. Unless hens are extra valuable probably the easiest way out of it is to take their heads off; then be care- ful about feeding the pullets that are coming on to take their places. Contrary to general impression, the fewer eggs a hen lays, the more are they likely to be infertile, if we can judge anything from experiments carried on at the Maine station. There an attempt was made to breed downward in egg yield as well as upward. The experi- menters were surprised at finding an un- looked for obstacle namely, the infertility of the eggs from hena producing the fewest. o Sober up on Jackson's Napa Soda.

The original cost of pigs, their rate of development and the cost of feed all have to be taken into consideration. Sometimes it is better to sell pigs at six months of age, at other times the increase in weight is profitable up to nine or ten months. As the age increases additional weight is made at an increased cost and this increase is proportionate to the age of the pig. The greatest gain in proportion to cost is made during the first four or five weeks of the pig's life, as the pigs are at that time supported almost entirely by the sow. Generally speaking when other pigs are coming on to take their place it is better to dispose of the porkers at about eight months. The cost is greater each month whether the growth of the pig is rapid or Blow. • Our South American agricultural neighbors are learning the value of for- eign markets and availing themselves of them more and more each year.

San Francisco, Saturday, July 15, 1905. BREEDERS OF HARNESS HORSES on the Pa- cific Coast, those who have money invested in stallions, brood mares and stock farms, should be active in tbe promotion of harness meetings. They are the ones most concerned in keeping up the inter- est in harness horses, either for road or track use, as this interest is the main cause of maintaining values and keeping them at a profitable point. It is the reputation for speed and gameness which his get ob- tain in races that causes the produce of a stallion to sell for good values at private sale and in the auction ring, and therefore every stallion owner should do everything in his power to promote race meetings wherever they are held according to recognized rules. There are thirty counties in California that 6hould have harness meetings every year, and if the trotting horse breeders who reside in those counties would only display a reasonable amount of energy and en- terprise, there would be a California circuit which for class and number of horses could not be equaled by more than two or three States in the Union. The day of the big stock farm has almost passed and the small breeders are the ones that must supply the mirkets in the future. It does not matter how much money one of these smaller breeders has invested in his stallions and mares, unless -he produce of his farm can show speed on the training track or in races there will be no demand for them beyond that of road and carriage use, and unless meetings are numerous and a good California circuit organized, there will be few owners who will train after purchase. It is only the exceptional horse that will be taken across the Rocky Mountains to be raced. Without a circuit of meetings the vast majority of trotting bred colts will only be broken and used for road or other working purposes and racing and rec- ords will be unknown to them. Consignments to the big auctions will not be profitable for breeders, as horses without known speed or whose relatives are not showing speed, will not bring the high prices. It is the few erackerjaeks that sell for large sums and that make the average price of a consignment high and profitable. Without speed contests to prove to the world the qualities of the trotters and pacers on the farms, breeders may as well quit breeding for speed as there will be no use nor de- mand for it. There is a general complaint in Cali- fornia that the breeding done this year was far less than last year's record, and this state of affairs can be directly attributed to the falling off in the number of fairs and race meetingB since the agricultural dis- tricts were refused aid by the State. If breeders de- sire a revivalin breeding, and also of the interest once displayed in harness racing they must do something themselves to promote them. A great meeting closed last week at Los Angeles. It has attracted the atten- tion of horsemen all over the country to the horses that obtained records and to the stallionB and mares that produced them. The winning of the three-year- old trot by Princess Louise wherein she gained a record of 2:19, has done mote to prove to the public that Coronado 2:12i will be a great producer, than all the hot air about him that could be blown through newspapers and other advertising mediums for months. It is purses won and records made by his colts that makes a stallion valuable. It is the excite- ment and pleasure of racing and the expectation of winning that causes men to pay out money for service fees, training, harness, bikeB, shoeing and feed. It is money hungup in purses that makes the horses go and keeps up the breeding business, and unless those who have money invested in stallions, mares and stock farms see to it that more meetings are given, they will find that their property is lessening in value. There is an old saying and a true one that the good Lord doeB not help those who do not help themselves. IN THE DEATH of Blaine S. McMahan, the 1 Breeder and Sportsman has lost from his staff one of the brightest minds that ever guided a pen to furnish news for its' columns. He had been connected with the journal since the first of March this year, and from the day he first entered the office his genial personality, his frank open manner and a deep interest in his work made him esteemed and loved by his associates. He was a great lover of horses and being a close observer his descriptions of them and their contests were accurate and fair, his big, generous heart never permitting his pen to indite harsh criticisms or unkind words of anyone. He was a young man, about 25 years or age, of handsome form and feature, with a cheery disposition and laughing eye that banished care and sorrow from every group of which he was a member. Yet he was not frivolous in the least, but of an earnest, cheerful, hopeful, happy nature, honest and faithful to every trust, a wholesome, hearty, lovable young man. He came of excellent stock, his father the late Dr. McMahan having been for many years a practicing physician and leading citizen of Rushville, Indiana, and his heart- broken and widowed mother and loving sister now reside in Indianapolis, where he "grew up1' as it were in the office of Thi Western Horseman, and was regu- larly employed there until he came to California last winter. It is an awful thiDg for a bright and promis- ing young man to be taken by death from a loving mother, but when cut down so suddenly and so far from home, the blow is doubly terrible and severe. Blaine McMahan had made hundreds of acquaintances since coming to this State, and from each and every one there will go out to that mother and Bister in far off Indiana, the deepest sympathy that can be felt by human hearts for their awful and irreparable loss. May a kind Providence sustain them in the hours of their deep affliction and the knowledge be some com- fort to them that their manly son and brother so endeared himself to those he met during his short life out here by the sunset sea. that they deeply and sincerely mourn his death and will always hold in fond remembrance their acquaintance with one who by bis noble attributes had earned their highest respect and esteem. A SALE OP HORSES of more than usual merit *» will be held by Fred H. Chase & Co. (successors to Killip & Co.) at their salesyard, 1732 Market street, this city, during the evening of July 24th. These horse6 are consigned by two breeders — the Occidental Land and Improvement Company of Sharon, and Mr. C. E. Needham of Bellota. The first named has used the stallions Teheran 2:24 and Ilderim in breed- ing harness horses, selecting them for the fine con- formation, style and action, and mating them with mares of the same qualities and that showed speed. They have been very successful, and the horses to be sold are well proportioned, handsome young animals. Mr. Needham has loog been a breeder of fine horses, his mares nearly all being of Morgan stock, which is now more popular than ever with breeders. He has used the stallions Steve Whipple 2:12, Directed (a son of the great Director 2:17 out of the dam of Steve Whipple) and Guy McKinney, one of the best bred McKinneys living. There are several colts in the consignment well entered in stakes — one of them in $57,000 worth, another in $10,000 worth. Send to Fred H. Chase & Co., 1732 Market street, for a catalogue. Horrible and Fatal Accident. Last Wednesday evening at 9:50 o'clock Blaine S. McMahan, formerly of the Western Horseman, Indl n- apolis, but during the past four months associate editor of the Breeder and Sportsman, was instantly killed at the Southern Pacific depot at Fresno, and Willard Zibbell, ton of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Zibbell of this city was so terribly injured that one foot and both hands had to be amputated. The following account of this dreadful accident is from the Fresno Republican of Thursday morning: "The accident in all of its circumstances is a sicken- ing one. The two young men were around town during the evening chatting with friends and assisting in the preparations for the meet of the Pacific Coast Trot- ting Horse Breeders Association next week. But a few minutes before the time of the accident, they had visited the editoral rooms of the Republican, where McMahan had left an article descriptive of some of the horses that are to race here, which article appears in another part of this paper. They then went down to the station to look into the matter of the arrival of some of the horseB in which Zibbell was interested. A few minutes later, their friends learned that McMahan was a mangled corpse, and that his companion was maimed and crushed almost beyond hope of recovery. The accident occurred at 9:50 o'clock:. No witnesses to the occurrence have been found except the mem- bers of the switching crew. Yard Master Crowley for them has given out the following statement of what happened: The switch engine with Engineer Lawrence and Engine Foreman Williams was coming north between Kern and Tulare streets, propelling three box cars. The engineer was in the cao, and Williams was oh the forward, end of the leadiag car, waving a lantern. As they came to Tulare street, he notfcea two men start to cross the track just in front of hid), and he shouted to them to look out. They seemed to pay no heed, and he thought they would miss the car, but kept shouting until he could almost touch them. The train was going at about four miles an hour. At the instant the men were struck, the signal for stopping was given, and the engine came to a stand- still in thirty feet. The men had been dragged under the wheels, and the whole length of the car passed over them before they were rescued from under the car by the trainmen. Word was sent for Dr. J. L. Maupin, who is the local surgeon for the Southern Pacific Company, who came at once, and ordered an ambulance 'or the car- rying of Zibbell to the Burnett Sanitarium. It was seen that McMahan had died instantly, and a little later, the remainB were taken to the morgue at Stephens & Bean. At the time of the accident, two fellow turfmen of Zibbell's were at the depot, J. R. Alberteon and A. L McDonald, and they ran with other people to the 6cene. Arriving there they saw Zibbell propped up against a box, and recognized him from his voice. He was conscious but groaning with terrible pain. His first words were, "I am all shot to pieces — how is Mac," referring to McMahan. He was comforted with the assurance that his com- panion escaped. Albertson and McDonald accompanied Zibbell to the sanitarium and on the way up he again inquired for McMahan. This time he was told that McMahan was about as bad off as he was, and Zibbell then seemed to realize bis companion's fate ana asked for him no more. At the sanitarium he lamented the fact that his racing days were over, just as he had begun to obtain distinction. He implored his companions not to allow the doctors to cut off his arm. Zibbell's injuries make his recovery extremely un- likely. His left arm was broken and mangled so that it had to be amputated; his right shoulder was crushed and his back bruised; his right hand was crushed and must be taken off today; one foot was ground off. There were no severe internal injuries. Despite the terrible margliDg he maintainea con- sciousness, and bore up with remarkable bravery. Before submitting to an anesthetic he asked to have hisfatherand mothersentforand hissister,,Georgie." McMahan's body was horribly mangled from tbe chest downward. Tbe upper part of the trunk and the head were comparatively little injured. The only injury to the face was a bruise under one eye. The aims were not hurt except for the crushing of the right band. Willard Zibbell is the son of J. W. Zibbell, the veteran driver, whose home is at No. 672 Eleventh avenue, San Francisco -Th<> young man is about 26 years of age and followed his father's career. In con- versation with a Republican reporter an hour or so before the accident he laughingly remarked that he was reared on a race track, being. around horses all his life. For the last two years he has been driving and is spoken of by horsemen as a very promising man. He brought a string of five horses nere to race next week among them being a green horse with which he won a great race in Los Angeles last week*. McMahan was a very gentlemanly young man who mide friends with every one he met He was assistant secretary of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association and was in Fresno working up interests in the race meet. Before the Los Angeles meetiDg he spent about a week here and returned last Monday. He was a sporting writer on the Breeder and Sportsman and an unusually capable man in bis line. In a conversation witb a Republicaii reporter several days ago, McMahan remarked that, he thought be had a charme'" life, as he had been in several railroad accidents and had escaped each time without a scratch. In one accident he was the only man in the car he was in t:> escape." At ten o'clock Friday morning Willard Zibbell was still living and the attending physicians gave strong hopes of his recovery. He has lost both hands and one foot, but his strong physique and rugged health have thus far enabled him to resist the terribleBhock. Willard Zibbell has been considered one of the most promidng young horsemen on this Coast. He is a tall, handsome young man about twenty-five years of age and a born horseman. A "home boy" of excellent habits, straightforward and upright in his dealings, he is the idol of bis father, mother and sister with whom he resided. As a trainer of harness horses he was meeting with great success, and bis winning of the 2:24 class trot at Los Angeles on the last day of the meeting with Adam G. 2:14} was looked upon by all his friends as the beginning of a bright career for bim as trainer and driver. His father refused $8000 for the horse the same day, intending that Willard should take the McKinney gelding through the Grand Circuit next year. Mr. aad Mrs. Zibbell and daughter are with the son at Fresno, having been summoned right after the accident and are doing everything and having everything done that medical science and tender care can do to relieve his suffer- ings. No braver young man ever lived than Willard Zibbell, and his thoughts immediately after and 6ince the accident have been of his dead companion aDd his own sorrowing family rather than of himself. We extend tbe sincerest sympathy to the unfortunate young man and his family in their terrible aflliction. $lte gveeosx ana grpurtsman [July 15, 1905 CLOSE AT LOS ANGELES. ^ FIFTH DAY. Los Angeles, July 7.— This was a day of surprises at Agricultural Park, as outsiders in the betting won both of the races that were finished, and the first choice in the third race seemed to be in a bad way when the race was postponed on account of darkness. The fun started with the three-year-old pacing race, in whioh the two-year-old colt Rockaway was one of the starters, and the talent picked him to win the money on the strength of his good race of Wednes- day when he took a record of 2:15J with comparative ease. He did not keep his backers in suspense long as he was distanced in the first heat, but in justice to the colt it might be said that he had all the worst of the argument and would undoubtedly have done bet- ter with an even break. Just as the word was given in the first heat he made a break and his driver, Jacob Brelllar, not hearing the starter say "Go!" pulled him up, and before he realized that the others fm^dMm Princess Louise (3) 2:19, b. f. by Coronado 2:124. were on their way scrambling for the money it was too late to redeem himself and he finished behind the flag. Frank Wright's Diablo filly Deviletta won the heat in 2:14] after a hustling finish with Memonio, and the former was naturally made a favorite over the remainder of the field. There was a different story to tell in the next heat, however, as Memonio was the first one to reach the wire after she and Dev- iletta had had a lively journey. The time of the sec- ond heat was only 2:17j, and both of the heat-winning fillies seemed pretty well tired, but Memonio stuck to her business all the time and managed to win the next two heats with plenty to spare from Kinney Wood. Memonio is owned by Mannie Reams, but was driven by M. G Leggett. The Zolock filly Kinney Wood paced a nice race and was well up at the finish of the last two beats. The 2:11 pace was the feature event of the card and eight sidewheelers scored for the word, with Fred Ward's brown gelding Vision and the stallion Jonesa Basler selling at $b apiece in the auctions against $5 for the field. When the word was given for the first heat Vision, Jonesa Basler and Rita II. started out to make the pace, and they sailed down the backstretch at a merry clip, reaching the half-mile pole in l:02j. Here the pace began to tell and they slackened up a little, and after a hard drive throughout the last quarter Vision got the verdict from the Basler horse in 2:09',. These two started out for business again in the Becond heat and practically made a two-horse race out of It, and as they headed down the stretch every one was wondering which one would win; but right here something happened, as J. D. Springer came out of the ruck with the chestnut mare MiBS Idaho by Nutwood Wilkes, and after a shortargument near the distance stand came on and beat them both in 2:10*. From then on there was nothing to it but Miss Idaho, as Mr. Springer was always out In front with her and she appeared to have quite a little in reserve at the end of each heat. Tidal Wave beat Rita H. for third money after a hard drive in the fourth heat. Pat Rose was an even money favorite over the field in the 2:20 trot, but he was unable to win a heat in throe, and when the race was postponed on acoount of darkness his chances of winning looked protty slim. He had all his speed with him to day, but continuous and tiresome scoring evidently oaused him to lose con- fidence In himself and he made bad breaks in each heat. The first two heats went to the black Zombro gelding Charlie T., driven by Al McDonald, and it le doubtful if he should not have had the raoe, bvit after reaching the wire first on a break in the third heat the judges awarded it to Ambush, who was a half length back.

Los Angeles, July 8th— Today saw the close of the meeting here and one of the biggest crowds of the week saw the racing. The feature of the cird waB the special $600 purse and a silver cup for the free-for-all pacers and it proved a very interesting race, although Zolock took down the lion's share of the purse without extending himself to the limit. Kelly BriggB and Edwin S. were the only other starters, and before the first heat Zolock brought $10 in the auctions against $4 for the field, so it will be seen that his victory was a popular one for the bettors who like to play the sure thing kind. There wasn't very much excitement about the first two heats as Zolock was always out in the lead and won from Kelly Briggs, and then Edwin S. in 2:07 and 2:08 respectively. In the third heat things went along in the same old way until they were headed into the stretch and Zolock seemed to have the race well in hand but Chadbourne came along next to the rail with a rush with Edwin S. and at the distance stand was at Zolock 's wheel and seemingly with a possible chance to win but Delaney took Zolock over toward the pole far enough to keep Edwin S. from coming through and led to the wire by about a length in 2:08. After deliberating quite a while the judges placed Zolock last for fouling Edwin S. and gave the heat to the last named pacer, but the decision had no effect on the result of the race as Zolock came right back again in 2:08J, letting Edwin S.'down with second money and third for Kelly Briggs. Edwin S. paced a very clever race, although he was hardly up to a hard proposition like this, and Bhowed that he will be a hard horse to beat in a week or bo. About the sleekest green trotter that has come to town lately was turned loose by Willard Zibbell in the 2:24 trot when he won the money in straight heats with the bay gelding Adam G. This horse has been pretty well touted all spring and was a red hot favorite in the auctions but he had never been started in a race and it remained to be seen what he would do in company. Suffice to say he made good in a manner that was emphatic and although he did not have to go very faBt, several old horsemen who saw the race were enthusiastic enough to 6ay that 2:08 will not stop him. When the word was given for the first heat the field was sent away with Adam G. taking the dust from the whole bunch but this did not seem to in the 2:14 trot and taking into consideration his good race of Wednesday figured to win the money which he did quite handily in straight heats. It was one of the best betting races of the meeting and all kinds of wild plungeB were made during the progress of the event, first on Una K. then on Lady Madison and again on the white gelding Rozelle but the only time when he seemed to be in difficulty waB at the finish of the second heat when Rozelle brought him down to a head finish in 2:13t, which was the best time made during the race. In the other heats the white gelding went into the air at times when he seemed to have a "look in." Lady Madison had as much speed as any- thing in the party but evidently was not at herself and refused to stand a drive when called upon. Una K. was also erratic and the others didn't call for much.

An enthusiastic meeting of horsemen was held at Santa Rosa last Tuesday evening and temporary or- ganization of a new driving- club was effected. Mr. P. H. Quinn was called to the chair, Mr. Walter C. Nolan was elected Secretary and Mr. W. E. Healey treasurer. Chairman Quinn waB authorized to ap- point a oommittee of fifteen on membership and organization, and Frank S. Turner, Henry Carlton and Fred J. Yandle were appointed a committee on by-lawB. It it proposed to give matinee and regular racing on the famous Santa Rosa Farm track, which is one of the best appointed and fastest In California. Jackson's Napa Soda Is sold in every city, town and hamlet in the State. July 15, 1905] ©He gveeiuev cmfc> gtpurtaman Gil Curry and Myron McHenry, who left the trot- ters some time ago for the runners, are hack with the harness brigade again, and it will probably not be long before Scott Hudson will be looking for a few "prospects" and pumping up the tires of his old bikes. Now for Fresno. The track is very fast. And the program a good one. Breeders meeting opens there on Wednesday next. All the fast pacers and trotters will start during the meeting. The fastest new trotter of the year is Pat Rosa 2:121 by Falrose. The average time for the seventy-three heats trot- ted and paced at Los Angeles last week was 2:j - ' . Sixteen heats were paced in from 2:10 to 2:06 at the Los Angeles meeting, which is "going some" for the first meeting of the year. Woodland Daisy, a three-year-old filly by Nazote, took a record of 2:21} in the second heat of a pacing race at Parsons, Kansas, June 22d. An opportunity to get a good sulky, speed cart, road cart, harness, boots, blankets, etc., is offered by the Peart sale at Colusa, August 9th. The great question with the horsemen in California now is: "Can they beat Zolock at Fresno or Santa Rosa, or make him beat his mark of 2:06?" William Leach, the well known auctioneer of Marys- ville, will ask for the bids at the sale of Mr. E. C. Peart's trotting bred horses at Colusa, August 9th. The first of the get of Coronado to start in a race is the three-year-old filly Princess Louise that won her race and took a mark of 2:19 at Los Angeles last week. In Japan a law has been passed which provides for the compulsory gelding of all two-year-old Btallions not considered of sufficient quality for stud purposes. Zolock 2:06, besides reducing his record at Los Angeles, had a new performer added to his list in Dixie a trotting filly, that took a time record of 2:26. The meeting at Windsor, which is the "curtain raiser" of the Grand Circuit, will open on Monday next. There will be a meeting at Columbus the same week. Zephyr 2:11 by Zomhro has worked to her record twice within the last two weeks, and has shown no signs of unsoundness so far. A lower record is doubt- less within her reach. The pacers Bolivar and Josie, both in the EaBt View Farm stable, were worked out together in 2:14} at Empire track one day last week, and paced the last quarter In 30 seconds. The three-year-old gelding Buster Brown by Mc- Neer, a son of McKinney and out of a mare by Dawn, that is to be sold at the Peart sale at Colusa August 9th Is worth training for the races. James Butler is now the sole owner of the Empire City track at Yonkers, N. Y., he having last week purchased the Interest of Charles C. Lloyd, the last person to dispose of his interest in the property. Bonnie Aisle, the brown pacing mare by Faustino, that Walter Maben has been training at Los Angeles, started during the meeting there to heat her record of 2:13}. She knocked five seconds from it by a mile in 2:08}. Searchlight is now at Lexington, Kentucky, where, it is said, he will be kept in the future It is said that his owner, W. Bronston, an Eastern millionaire, in- tends putting him at the head of a breeding stud which he is to establish. James Butler started Mamie R. 2:15} in a matinee race at Empire track June 29tb, but she did not win, making a break in eanh heat. The miles were in 2:17} and 2:16. The little mare must be off, as these are the first breaks she has made this season. Nocturno, the stallion by Alfonso that took a time record of 2:26 at Los Angeles, will now be shipped to Albany, Oregon, where he will make a season. He trotted his mile very nicely and can greatly reduce the time If placed in regular training. Six 2:10 performers at one meeting, and that the first of the year, is a pretty good record for any country. Los AngeleB holds this record, and while all are pacers the fact that they paced sixteen heats in 2:10 or better shows that they have class. There Is talk of a three days' meeting at Concord in September. If the managers of the track will adver- tise a program of harness races with programs rang- ing from $200 to $300, we have no doubt but it would fill and some excellent racing result. The new Con- cord track is in very good shape and the people of Contra Costa county are good patrons of the sport. After the State Fair is over there will be a large num- ber of owners ready to race anywhere In central California. There are five colts by John A. McKerron 2:04.! in Doc Tanner's stable. They are the four-year-old trotter Harry McKerron 2:24}, two three-year-olds, two two-year-olds and one yearling. They are all good sized, handsome and are all promising speed prospects. The first meeting between Tiverton and Sweet Marie will come off next week at Philadelphia. The gelding is in fine shape and trotted a mile in 2:13 last week, with the last quarter in 29} seconds. Sweet Marie has been a mile in 2:08, half in 1 :02 and a quar- ter in 30 seconds. Dr. J. W. Hammond of Byron, who never drives anything but a good road horse, and has bred quite a few, sent his mare Blue Bells to Mr. J. D. Springer's highly bred stallion Suomi this year and believes her to be with foal. Suomi is by the great Zombro and out of the dam of Stam B. James Thompson drove John Caldwell a mile in 2:08, with the last half in 1:03, at the Cleveland track one day last week. He looks and acts like a money winner Albuta is showing lots of speed, but Mr. Thompson does not like him as he does the Strathway gelding, as he is not so reliable. The owner of the pacing stallion Daedalion 2:10 has so much business to attend to requiring bis absence from the State more than half the time during the summer racing season, that he desires to sell this elegantly bred son of Diablo. He will be priced right. Address this office for particulars. It is said that Sweet Marie can beat the fast pacer Nervolo 2:04} any part of the mile in their workouts. Those who know how fast Nervolo can reel off an eighth or a quarter can appreciate the speed of the daughter of McKinney. She and Tiverton 2:04} will meet on Wednesday next at Philadelphia. The horses consigned by C. E. Needbam to the auction to be held in this city July 24th at Fred H. Chase & Co. 's salesyard are sired by Steve Whipple 2:12, Directed, a son of Director, Guy McKinney, a son of McKinney, and Chas. Derby 2:20. They are out of mares that are full of Morgan blood. Lisonjero 2:08} by Dexter Prince is trotting like a 2:04 horse this year, and is better gaited than ever, although he had the reputation of being the easiest going, lightest shod trotter on the turf last season. He won his first start thiB year at Saugus two weeks ago but did not have to trot within five seconds of his record. One of the new rules of the New York Driving Club is that horses tied for second or third position in the Bummary are awarded positions according to their standing in the faster heat of the race, and it looks like a pretty fair rule For instance, if A.'s positions were 2-3 and B.'s 3-2 and the time was 2:15—2:13, then B would be awarded second place and A. third. The State Fair harness races filled well and a high class meeting is sure to result. The track will be in order and the probabilities are that it will he fast as it has been built by Mr. Allen the most expert track builder in America, and the soil is a mixture of clay and loam which he claims iB just the thing for a fast and safe track for training and racing. imk Good looks, size and soundMfe are the qualities which the horses possess that are consigned to the sale at Chase's salesyard Monday evening July 24th, by the Occidental Land and Live Stock Association of Sharon, Cal. These horses are by Teheran, Ilderlm and a Norman Btallion. There are fine roadsters and good express horses in the consignment. The free-for-all pace at the Fresno meeting next week has five entries as follows: Zolock 2:06, Edwin S 2:08, Tom Carneal 2:08}, Kelly Briggs 2:09', and Daedalion 2:10. This will be one of the greatest con- tests seen in California in years, and will he well worth a trip to Fresno to witnesB. As the Fresno track is in fine condition it Is likely that the winner will reduce his record. AmbuBh, the brown colt by Zolock that took a record of 2:16 in the third heat of the 2:20 trot at Los Angeles is only three yearB old, yet in this race he was pitted against aged horses and got second money. Ambush took a record of 2:20 as a two-year-old last year. He looks like one of the best prospects in Cali- fornia at the present time for a record of 2:10 as a four-year-old. Most of the Importers who have been active of late years and several who have not are at present in Europe, buying stallions for the American trade and the general opinion is that if the horses can be bought more will be Imported this Beason than ever before in any one year. It Is believed that many more Shires, Clydesdales and SuffolkB will be brought over this year than since the lite eighties. Lafe Shafer has resigned as trainer at Terrace Farm, Titusville, to take a position as assistant to Ed Geers. Zpphyr 2:11, Elegance by Dare Devil, and King Bardo by Sternberg, all owned at Terrace Farm, and that have been In Sharer's care at Memphis all winter, will go into Geers' stable. Mr. Devereux, the Cleveland amateur reinsman, is a great judge of pace. Last week Mr. Billings asked him to drive Lou Dillon a mile, and requested that it be in about 2:10. The mile was exactly in that notch. Lou Dillon and Major Delmar will be started for a cup at the Detroit meeting. They will probably not be asked to go better than 2:05 this early In the year. It looks as if this was to be another McKinney year. The harness racing season has not yet fairly opened, but he has Charlie T. 2:14}, Adam G 2:14}, the three- year-old Kenneth C. 2:17 and Delia McCarthy 2:20}, all new trotters to his credit, while his pacing son Zolock has reduced his record to 2:06, which is the fastest record of the year. Tidal Wave 2:09, one of the new 2:10 pacers, is out of a daughter of McKinney. Fourteen heats were trotted in 2:15 or better by six horses at Los Angeles last week. The fastest was the one in 2:10} by Ole in the first heat of the 2:11 trot, which reduced his mark just half a second. The horses that trotted these fast seconds were sired by Falrose, Silas Skinner, Gen. Beverley, Shadeland Onward, Zombro and McKinney. Adam G. 2:14}, the Beven-year-old McKinney gelding that won the $1000 2:24 class trot on the la6t day of the Los Angeles meeting, was bred by President E. P. Heald of the Pacific Coast Trotting Hor6e Breeders Association. His dam is Professor Heald 's favorite mare Nona Y. by Admiral, that is also the dam of the trotter Lady Rowena 2:18} and the pacers Nance O'Neil 2:09} and Charles David 2:15. Adam G is un- doubtedly one of the greatest prospects that has been seen on any of the tracks this year and it is confidently believed by the most experienced horsemen that three heats in 2:10 are not beyond his reach. Good horses are hard to get at the present time, but a number of good ones will be sold by auction at the Fred H. Chase & Co.'s salesyard, 1732 Market Btreet, San Francisco, on Monday evening July 24th. They are consigned to the Occidental Land and Improve- ment Company, of Sharon, Cal., and the C. E. Need- ham farm at Bellota, Cal. Don't forget this sale if you want a good horse or several of them. To make a bran mash first waBh out a bucket with boiling water, then pour in the quantity required — say three pints — and stir in three pounds of bran. Cover up and leave it for a couple of hours or more if not required for immediate use, says American Culti- vator A mash takes hours to get cold and is often offered to a sick horse too hot and refused when it would have been taken if properly prepared and given warm instead of scalding. Will Durfee was the largest winner at the Los Angeles meeting. He won two races, was second once, third once and fourth once, the total winnings being $1440. Walter Maben was next with $1350 to his credit and Fred Ward was third with $1250. The others win- ning $500 and overwereF.E. Wright $1140, S. Lindsay $1000, John Quinn $1000, Fred Chadbourne $800, M. Reams $750, Al McDonald $750, S. E. Kent $750, J. R. Springer $650, W.

Last year a very large number of draught stallions were brought to this State from the East and were distributed throughout the countieB where horse breeding is carried on to any extent. Nearly all these stallions that have made seasons here thiB season have been liberally patronized and for that reason the sup- ply of grade draught horses which is now very short on the Coast should begin to reach something neaier the demand at the end ef the next five years. Until that time, however, the supply will be short, and horses of 1300 pounds and upwards will be held at high figures and find a very ready sale in California. Zombro 2:11 by MoKinney is getting a lot of high class mares in Oregon this year. Among the record mares that have been bred to him since Mb arrival at Portland on June 1st, are Sarah S 2:09!, Flora G. 2:21, Mary Scott 2:24, May Tilden 2:24}, Lady Mack 2:21}, Loveless 2:20, Alto Dell 2:16} and Altelno 2:2U, Bessie Loveless, two year-old trial 2:24, Beulah, two- year-old record 2:47, own sister to Chehslis 2:04}. Lany Dell, dam of Bettie Gentry 2:16}. Pocahontas, dam'of Little Maid 2:18, Bridesmaid, dam of Edmond S., trial 2:17} and other highly bred and producing mares have also been sent to Zombro's court during the past month. Harry Bush, the capable young trainer who gave Confienza her mark of 2:12} last month at Denver, is receiving many complimentary notices in the press. He isa natural horseman, and has that rare faculty of gainiDg not only the confidence but the control of highly nervous and erratic horses. He went to Colo- rado from Des Moines, Iowa, a few years ago in search of health, and although he is much more robuBt than he was, his voice cannot be raised above a wh'sper and his lungs are very weak. Confienza was declared a hopeless failure before he began training her, hut he has made a valuable racing machine of the daugh- ter of James Madison. The brown trotting mare Italia by Zombro, owned by Mr. W. P. Murray of Cleveland, is working better this spring than ever before. She is stronger, looks better, does not show any disposition to be unsteady, and in every way her rest last year has done her good. She will probably be raced later if she continues to improve. Mr. Murray's young trotter, Russell G. by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16J, dam by California Nutwood, second dam by Anteeo and third dam by Venture, is learning fast and bidB fair to develop into a useful trotter. Russell G has a full sister In California, who as a two-year-old last year worked a mile in 2:24}, with a quarter in 33 seconds She is a very fast filly, and is heavily staked. The dam of RuBsell G, It Is said, never failed to produce speed, as all her colts by Nutwood WilkeB are fast. — American Sp'n ' < • 6 ®he gfceefrnr axib gftroirfcrotcwt [July 15, 1905 STATF F^ ENTRIES.

Some breeders do not appear to realize that a mare and her colt, idle in the pastures as they are, demand a great deal of good food. A mature workhorse can get along comfortably with less than a mare in foal, yet many breeders seem to think that meager pastur- ' age will furnish all the food necessary. This was called forcibly to mind recently when, in the course of a discussion on a somewhat prominent stallion, a remark was made to the effect that many of his foals in his new home were small, scrubby things, which would never serve to advertise their sire, great speed getter though he has been. In reply the statement was made that it was not to be wondered at that the new owner was prone to turn his colts and mares into a pasture that could not possibly supply all the sus- tenance necessary. Other breeders with Bires of less speed making ability have been extensively patron- ized because their colts have invariably looked good and when raced have had the size and constitution so essential to a race horse. Colts which have been stunted by starvation cannot Btand the strain of hard training and are sure to develop a weak spot when the work becomes too hard. If it is worth while to invest thousands in a breeding establishment it is very essential that the food supply should be suf- ficient and if the farm will not furnish it then a few hundred dollars should be expended in its purchase. It is the few hundreds so spent that will make the many thousands a successful investment. Common Sense in Colt Breeding. With all the theories on breeding there is nothing that will assist in the raising of great colts so much as a fair amount of common sense. This holds good, especially in regard to the raising of colts both before and after being foaled, says Tin Horseman. It hardly eeems possible that a man after investing thousands of dollars in stallions and broodmares would allow the young colts to starve, and yet, unfortunately, more than one instance can be cited where promising colts have been stunted and ruined because of stinginess in provldlug feed for the mare aDd for the colt after weaning. Possibly no breeder would admit that he ever pursued such a foolish policy, yet in such Instances it must be admitted that the breeder has very little common sense in bia makeup. It is too often the case that a mare and her foal are turned out at this time of the year and allowed to run in the paBturo until fall. Between now and that time, it is safe to say, the pasture will not furnish the nourish- ment needed, either for the mare or her foal. Special care should be taken to see that both are provided with plenty of succulent and nourishing feed. Possibly the it, but if the mare com- - to get thin and the colt does not thrive as he Answers to Correspondents. F. C adman, Elmira, Cal, — Square Dealer 3552 was a bay horse, foaled 1881. He was sired by Knicker- bocker 200, dam Maggie by Magnolia 68, grandam by Seeley's Black Hawk, a son of Long Island Black Hawk 24, great grandam by Bertrand, thoroughbred. Knickerbocker 200 was a son of Hambletonian 10, dam Lady Patchen by Geo. M. Patchen 30. Square Dealer sired Dimple 2:29J- and TJtell 2:24|. He has two pro- ducing sons and two producing daughters. We cannot find any reference to a horse by the name of Young Morgan Empire, either in the Year Book, Register, or in Battel's Morgan Horse Register. There was a horse called Young Morgan Emperor however. He was by Emperor, son of Bulrush Morgan. Friskarina Not Distanced. In the summary of the 2:13 pace at Los Angeles, printed in the BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN last week, Friskarina was accounted as distanced in the fourth heat. This was a mistake. Mr. E. D. Dudley of Dixon, owner of the mare, writes us that Friskarina was withdrawn after the third heat by permission of the judges aB she was sick and in no condition to race. See This.

Thinks Highly ot George G. [Hawley in Ky. Stock Parm.J The present- condition of the horses in Ed Geers' stable clearly refute the idea so frequently advanced by trainers that it is impossible to prepare for an ex tenshe campaign the horses in their charge before the middle of the summer, for the cracks that he is now ready to do battle with have been on edge for some time and could easily have begun their campaign some weeks ago. Whatever may be the public per- formances of the several high class and greatly heralded trotters and pacers which this great reins- man will show to the public remains to be seen, for both Walter Direct and George G. are in a measure unknown quantities. It is true George G. has been seen in public, but it ib not all safe to gauge his capacity by his past performances, for every one knows that he is today so vastly improved in man- ners as to be quite a different horse from formerly. His 6peed has always been unquestioned, and no one familiar with him can doubt for a minute that he is a game trotter, and if his capacity can be judged by the manner in which he has taken his work this spring, he is destined to be one of the stars of the year. In view of the fact that he has not in the past performed creditably to himself, it would be folly to predict for him a campaign equal to that of Sweet Marie, for this mar6 is one'among a thousand, but as it haB always been conceded that all the gelding lacked was good behavior, and this he seems now to haveinabundance.it is reasonable to suppose that the son of Homeward is now as near perfection as the skill of his trainer can make him. Granted that George G. is a 2:05 trotter, and surely his past performances justify this belief, and conced- ing his absolute gamaness, there is little speculation in pronouncing him a trotter of the very first class, and as such likely to more than hold his owd in any company he may meet. Whether or not he can over- come the cracks of the faster division will have to be ascertained when he is put to that test, but that he is master of his own division there seems so be little doubt. Everyone who has seen George G. and is familiar with his speed, his way of going and his gen- eral make-up has be6n led to believe that there was in him oapacity of the highest order; in fact, there is so much about him to indicate that he was a cham- pion that many of the shrewdest horsemen in America believe him capable of joining the ranks of the fastest division in the very near future. I firmly believe that this gelding will sweep every, thing before him this year, unless, of course, it is decided to undertake the impossible with him, and I have such a high regard for the judgment of his trainer, whose opinion of him is of the highest, that nothing the gelding might do would surprise me. Geer3 has been forced to wait some time with a horse that is very nearly cherry ripe, yet so skillful is he in keeping a fast horse in perfect coodition that there is no danger of this trotter having been overdone. His engagements should be at his mercy, unless, of course, he returns to bis bad habits of the past, and after defeating the best of his own division, he can be expected to meet either Tiverton, Sweet Marie or both. I am firmly of the belief that if George G. is this year capable of a mile in 2:05, he will overcome Tiverton, if the two ever meet, for he is much more substantially put together, has infinately more sub- stance, and should be capable of an extended cam- paign, somatbing that is likely to be the undoipg of light, waspish son of Galileo Rex. July 15, 1905 1 C&tte !§xeehsv cmi» ^pcvt&tnaxi The Attraction of Harness Racing. The harness racing season may be said to have been fiirly begun, although thus far it has been confined mainly to the half-mile tracks, and the results of the different meetings, as reported in the columns of the turf press, in sbarp contrast to those on the running tracks, are as eagerly scanned by men interested in breeding as by those interested from a racing view- point. In no respect is the difference between harness racing and running racing more clearly shown than by this eager interest shown in racing results by those who take no more active part in racing than is shown by going to the races as spectators merely. It is likely true that 90 per cent of thoBe who go to the running races go to speculate, while at the average Grand Circuit meeting it is doubtful if more than 20 percenjof those present take a part in the specula- tive part of the game. The attendanceat the average narness racing meeting is made up largely of persons coming under the following heads: Those who love a driving horse possessing some speed and who have become interested in professional racing through this love of speed so engendered; those who have madea study of trotting horse pedigrees and who are engaged in breeding to a greater or less extent; those who love horses naturally and who have been firm adherents of the harness branch of racing from childhood up. There are, of course, those who love to speculate and who, through preference, prefer to back their judg- ment of harness horses mainly because they have always fancied horses of this kind, and have made a study of them and the conditions under which they are raced, bu,, as before stated, it is seldom that this element amounts to more than 20 per cent of the en- tire attendance. Harness racing attracts more people for sport's sake than any other form of racing be- cause, in a modified form, the amateur reinsman may participate in it, and thus he becomes interested in it in a professional way. The runner is a racing ma- chine nothing else, while the trotter or pacer, is not only a race horse in a professional way, but is also a source of enjoyment to tbe amateur who may make use of his speed in amateur everts. He thus learns to know the feelings and motives which inspire the pro- fessional driver, sees in his endeavors to win that which he can neither see nor understand in the mite of a jockey clinging to a runner's back. He appre- ciates the skill and judgment shown by the men who have who have worked up to the front rank of train- ers and drivers, and an afternoon's racing gives him such actual pleasure as few devotees of the running turf ever realize. The two branches of racing are widely different and the gulf that separates them will never be narrowed. Running is the sport of those who delight in speculation.no matter what form it may take,' while harness racing is the sport of those who have an undying love for horses and who delight in seeing them reach the highest state of perfection as illustrated by the modern type of the trotter or pacer— a horse of beauty, intelligence and speed, use- ful not only as a racing machine but as a pleasureable companion as well. — Horse World. that he has not the electric turn of speed of Sweet Marie, a quarter in 30t seconds being the best he has driven him, and that he has never in his work or races been a mile fasterthan 2:10. He says that while he expects him to be a good horse, he by no means thinks him invincible in his class and will be content with a fair proportion of the money. His good man- ners will be worth two seconds to him in any race, his owner thinks, as one can place him just where he wants to and be sure of always finding him on the trot. There is no question as to what he will do and he will be certain to add another 2:10 performer to his sire's already long list. Mack Mack's best mile thus far this season was 2:14 J here at Denver. He has not been asked to do much. He will be shipped from here to Liberty ville, 111., where his preparation will begin in earnest and then the eastern public will be abie to draw conclusions for themselves as to his ability. His first great race will be in the Empire State $10,000 purse for 2:10 trotters at Buffalo the week of August 7th. A horse that is second only in general interest to Mack Mack 2:12}, is Morosco 2:12, the fast son of Way- land W., and Lady Moor, by Grand Moor. I can safely say from the start, he can only be appreciated when in harness and In action. It is at such a time that one who knows something about trotters will begin to enthuse. At any other time he would never give one the impression that he is the really great trotter he is- He is a rakish looking horse and rough in his exterior appearance. A brown in color, full 16 hands high^ wears a nine-ounce shoe forward and a seven-ounce behind; quarter and shin boots forward and ankle and shin boots behind. He is a line trotter with full, round action forward going rather low behind, which gives to him a perfectly smooth gait and easy way of going for so large a horse He hits the ground very light and conveys to one the idea that he is one of the wear and tear kind. Before leaving California he worked a mile to his record, 2:12, but since his arrival at Denver he has not up to this date, June 26, beaten 2:15. He is a horse that wants a free head and if given it, will not pull an ounce and can be placed without trouble. In his races on the Coast it is said that he never made a start that he could not have won. How true this is I would not venture to say. Of one thing I feel sure, the money he will race for this season will be enough to bring out his best efforts. He will start in some minor events but his first great race will be when he starts in the Empire State $10,000 purse for 2:10 trotters at Buffalo next August at which time his true worth as a race horse will be brought to the surface. From West Australia. State Fair Nev£ "Driftwood" Sees Mack Mack and Morosco. [Buffalo Horse World.] Well I have seen Mack Mack 2:12}, the son of the great McKinney 2:111, dam Nancy by General Mc- Clellan, and the impression I had formed of him before seeing him was not overdrawn. He certainly is one of the grandest looking trotting geldings I have ever seen. Like all the McKinneys, he is a very dai k bay, in fact he could be oalled brown, he is eight years old, stands full 16 hands high and will weigh from 1250 to 1300 pounds, when out of training and will weigh right at 1200 now. There is not a blemish of any kind visible on him. There are some things about him that would remind one of Sweet Marie 2:04f. One is the expression about the head and another is his way of going, but there the resamblaoce ceases. He is longer in the back, which drops to quite a noticeable extent and reminds one of a stallion, along in years, tbat had done much stud service. He is high over the withers and across the coupling, which is well back, showing theMambrino Patchen characteristics in this particular. He wears a nine-ounce shoe for- ward, with two-ounce toe-weights and seven-ounce shoes behind. The boots he wears are more for safety's sake than for the need of them, consisting only of quarter boots forward and shin boots behind. It is • nly when one steps behind him tbat his wonderful driving power reveals itself to the critic. He has quarters like a cart horse and stifles to match and the Becret of his ability as a racing machine is at once un- folded to the most unsophisticated of observers. His trainer and half-owner, Mr. Helman, says that in all he has started twenty-eight times, twenty-six of these races be has won and in the other two he won second money. In speaking of him, his trainer says The Directors of the State Agricultural Society have made a contract with Murcell & Smith for the con- struction of one hundred and four cattle stalls, fifty- two in a structure. Professor W. C. Carlyle, who has judged the live- stock at the Pair for several seasons, will not be able to serve this year, and President B. F. Rush has been instructed to engage a judge for tbat department. The poultry show is to be made an important feature of the State Fair again, and Secretary Albert Lindley will communicate with Henry Berrar, of San Jose, with a view of engaging his services as judge. Berrar has judged the poultry several years and has given satisfaction to exhibitors. It has been decided to offer valuable prizes to induce counties to make exhibits of their products. To this end the society will offer a premium of f 500 for the best county exhibit; second. $250; third, $150; fourth, $100; fifth, $50. Resolutions of respect to the memory of Frank W. Covey, a former Director of the society, who died recently, were adopted at the meetingof the DirectoiB last Saturday. The Pavilion will be turned over to the Native Sons this year, and many Parlors will install exhibits of the products of their counties. The big prizes offered will make the competition keen for these prizes and the best county exhibits seen in years are expected. Admission will be free to the Pavilion during the entire week. • Ban Placed on Pool Rooms. Mr. A. D. Whitecross, a resident of South Brisbane Queensland, Australia, who is one of the Breeder and Sportsman's regular readers, writes ub that the harness horse is becoming more popular every day in that country and adds "We are getting a better claSB of trotters here by degrees thanke to importations of stallions from America. Our time however very seldom comes below 2:40, and a 2:30 horse would be a veritable whirlwind. All this is to saddle as we have no tracks fit to carry a sulky except our show track i which are quarter mile circles. I have seen a mile in harness in 2:42, but the constant turning on a small circle is not conducive to fast driving. Fair sized horses of the trotting strain bring from $150 to $200 for buggy horses. The leading breeder of thiB class of horses is Mr. John Stanfield, and Mb success in handling, working and showing to advantage is largely due to the imformatjon contained in the Breeder and Sportsman and in Marvins book on the trotter which I obtained from him from your city." Mr. Whitecross in his letter requested the pro. prietor of the B. & S. to send him a few pounds of Kentucky blue grass seed which he intends sowing on the black soil upland ridges in his 6eetion of the oountry. He states tbat they already have three or four species of blue grass growing there, and that it is splendid horse and cattle feed. The seed will be sent Mr. Whitecross as asked for by the next steamer and we hope it will thrive and do well there. Computed Value by Measurements. An Arab method of ascertaining tbe value of a horse by his porportions is to measure him with the hand from the extremity of the dock to the middle of the withers, and take note of the number of palms. They then begin again from the middleof the withers to the extremity of the upper lip, passing between the ears. If, in the two cases, the number of palms is equal, tbe horse will be good, but of ordinary 9peed. If the number of palms behind is greater than in front the horse will have no "go" in him; but if the number of palms between the withers and the extremity of the upper lip is more considerable than in measuring from the tail to the withers, rest assured the horse will have great qualities. New York, July 12— The executive board of the Western Union Telegraph Company today adopted a resolution recommending to the full board of directors that racing news be not supplied by the company ex- cept to persons receiving it through a regular office. The resolution is as follows: Whereas, This company, by an order issued by its president, has directed the cessation of the collection of horse race reports; and Whereas, It is claimed that the distribution of horse race reports still continues notwithstanding the action of this company referred to. Therefore, be it recommended to the board of directors tbat tbe offices of the Western Union Tele- graph Company be directed to cease the transmission of any message containing horse race reports, except when such messages are delivered to a regular office of the company for transmission to and delivery through a regular office of the company or for de- livery in such or other manner as the president of the company shall authorize over his signature. The meeting of the committee was short, and among those who attended were President Clowry, Russell Sage, Jacob H. Schiff and James H. Byde.. « Horse Show Association Organized. As the result of the very successful horse showgiven by the Tournament of Roses Association at Pasadena last April, a new association has been organized called the Southern California Horse Show Association of Pasadena. It has been duly incorporated and pro- poses to give a show annually in March. The horses shown last April came from all over the United States and the owners were particularly pleased with the out door winter show, something they were not accus- tomed to in the East. So many Eastern people who winter in Southern California bring their horses with them that an exceptionally fine show can be held. The officers of the new organization are John S. Cravens, President; John B. Miller and Fred E.Wilcox of Pasadena, Walter S. Newhall of Los Angeles, Robert Lee Bettner of Riverside and CV. J . Hogan of Louisville, Ky., Vice-Presidents; Edwin D. Neff of Riverside, Secretary and Treasurer. Not to Be Bred to Ben Liebes. An item in last week's Breeder and Sportsman stated that Grace Kaiser, the dam of Coney 2:02, etc., would be bred to Ben Liebes 2:174. This is an error. Grace Kaiser is now owned by Mr. James Coffin of this city. She has a beautiful filly at foot by Zolock 2:06 that Mr. Coffin ha9 refused $1000 for and has been bred back to Zolock. Grace Kaiser is one of the greatest broodmares in the whole country. In addi- tion to Coney 2:02, she is the dam of Stipulator 2:11}, and the trotters McZeus 2:13 and Grace McK. 2:21 j, and grandam of Tidal Wave 2:09. i Lou Dillon Trotted in 2.06 Last Week. At the Cleveland track, last Saturday morning, Mr. Billings drove Lou Dillon a mile in 2:06, the fastest mile made this year by any trotter. After the work- out Mr. Billings said: "I did not extend the mare a bit. Had I done so she would have stepped the mile in two minutes at least. Lou made the first quarter in 33 seconds, the half In 1:04, the three-quarter in 1:35A and the mile in 2:06." ©to gveefrev anfr &p&vi&tn — Butter makers differ as to the relative advantages of the systems of salting but- ter commonly employed. Some prefer the brine Baiting process while others place most confidence in the old-fashioned system of dry salting. In theory the brine salting system is the better, aa when thia plan is followed and the brine is in- troduced while the butter ie still in the form of minute granules the grains be- come evenly coated all over with a thin layer of salt and in this way it is uniformly incorporated. When the dry salting system is followed considerable difficulty ia experienced in effecting uniform in- corporation of the salt with the mass of butter, even when in perfectly granular condition. One of the objections to the brine salting Bystem is that it does not admit of such heavy salting as the more common aystem of applying the Bait dry. The thick, atringy condition sometimeB noticed in cream is usually due to tbe presence of what are known as slimy or ropy bacteria, says Hoard's Dairyman. They produce a ropineas in milk' that may be all the way from a alight viscosity to milk that is so thick it will not pour out of a dipper. When such conditions occur there is but one way of stopping the trouble, and that is by a liberal ubs of hot water and washing aoda. The water must be scalding, and all utensils tbat are used in handling the milk must be thoroughly cleaned with brush, hot water and soda. Sober up on Jackson's Napa Soda.

The Stod-mun and Farmer for nearly a quarter of a . entury has been trying to tell its readers the advantages to be gained by breeding op their live clock. There was a time when the margin between the price of good cattle and scrubB was not ao great as now. There are yet some ' stock and uBe only the best femaleB and pure bred males for breeding purposes. It pays to do so now, and each succeeding year it will pay bigger. The dogy has had bis day. The Swine Industry. One of the great industries of our country and the one that a very large ranchmen, we are ashamed to say, who ( maj,irjty of the farmers are more inter, argue against the use of improved blood. We are pleased to say, however, that these are a small minority, and their kind are becoming fewer and fewer each year. We doubt even now if one of these mossbacks, although he might so advise, would himself stock hiB ranee with a bunch of longhorned scrub cows and scrub bulls. Stockmen are in the business to make . money, and they must produce that which the market demands. Common stuff is not wanted now by anybody. At leaBt the big packers, or little ones either, do not want scrub stuff, as the market showB the demand ib for cattle of improved breeding and in good condition. While the market is bad enough still a fair class of stuff has brought fair priceB, and always will. The other kind is hardly wanted at all. Texas has made great strides in the improvement of her catt^ but this work is hardly yet begun. Better and better, and still better cattle must be eeted in than any other, and the one that brings in more money frequently to pay taxes, store bills and doctor bills, ib the swine. Truly the bog is the gentleman that roots the mortgage off the farm. Kuowing the great importance of this line of farmers' work is the motive that in- duces me to present a few thoughts that may be beneficial to some brother farmer. If there is any one claBB of people that deserve the best of everything I believe that class is the toilers of the soil, the ones that feed the world. This brings me to speak of one of the good things that every farmer should have; that is a herd of well bred hogs. The day of the hazle splitter is past, when it took twelve to twenty-four months to mature them, and fit them for market, and if one at that age weighed 250 or 300 poundB, his owner thought he had a whopper. In starting in the business a man Bhould be very careful in the selection of his the slogan. Speaking along these lines foundation stock. The first thing for him the Drovers Journal in a late issue said : Stockmen who have been on the Kan- sas City market the past few days have had an object lesson in the importance of growing high grade cattle that ought to give a stimuluB to the grading up of the herds of the southwest country. While all kinds of cattle have been declining and thin stock was a drug on the market buyers from the corn belt states were scouring the yards for high grade Btock Bteers, and many of them had to be satis- fied with something less to their liking or go home empty handed. There were plenty of cattle in the pens and owners were anions to sell them at prices prac- tically of the buyer's own making, but the quality was not right. Cattle are very much like potatoes in one respect. When prices are high any kind will sell, but the cheaper they get the more par- ticular purchasers are as to quality. Dogy steers are cheap because nobody wantB tnem, and nobody wants them be- cause they are cheap— cheap in quality as well aB in price. Dogy steers never make market top- pers, and still, as a rule, it costs more to put one hundred pounds of gain on them than it does on high grade steera. The high grade steer has a better frame on which to put flesh, has more stretch to him, bas a better constitution, iB a better feeder and yields more pounds gain to the DuBhel of grain than the dugy. Some times it pays to feed dogies, justaB it pays sometimes to raise email potatoes— if you can't raiBe large on*>B. If potatoes are BCarce and consequently high the frugal housewife will be content to prepare the little ones for the table notwithstanding the extra labor and patience required. When beef steers are high, packers will buy dogies and pay good prices for them. In the fall of 1903 several feeders took dogy steers to their feed lots from the Kansas City market, buying them at very low prices. In the early summer of 1904 all kinds of beef steers were high and these dogies, if fat, commanded good prices and showed good profits for the feeders. Right now all kinds of beef steers are low and the best are preferred by the killers, because they are relatively cheaper than the doggies. If the packers want cheap beef now they buy high grade steers, because there is a high per cent of kill to them. This is the case nine times out of ten. Observing feederB see this, and that is why they want the high grade Btockers and feeders and willing to pay the prices for them. The moral is plain as day. It is that it behooves stockmen to cull out their pennyroyal breeding hybridizing. We can well imagine hie surprise when he saw the long eared colt browsing among the cacti and sage brush in the wilderness and discovered that it was neither like its sire nor like the broncho which he owned as its dam. Hybridizing fell under the ban of the Mosaic law, but ao respectable had the mule become that it seems to have been the favorite animal of the princes of the blood, for Abs lorn on that fatal day when his army waB defeated in the trans- Jordanic country attempted to flee away on a mule. Possibly the princes were trying to dodee the law that they shouid net multiply horBeB to themselveB by do- ing what Beemed the next beBt thing, ualng mules as their favorite chargers, an ancient example of keeping the letter of tbe law while violating its spirit — not un- common even among very highly respect- able people in later times. Therefore do not despise the mule, but consider him, and consider him wisely, and consider alBo whether it is not quite as profitable in certain sections of the country to grow mules as horses. to do is to decide what breed he would rather handle, and there are many good ones. The Berkshire, Duroe-Jersey, Chester Whites, Poland-Chinas, Tam- worth and Thin Eine are all popular breeds and have their admirers. I be- lieve this is as it should be, as it gets up a spirit of competition and the different breeders strive to excel in bringing their herds to the highest point of excellence. I believe this idea of difference of opinion being right was fully demonstrated when the preacher said : "If we were all of the same opinion, then every man would want my wife Sallie." Just then one of the men spoke up andBaid: "YeB, and before God, if they were all of my opinion nobody would want her," — and so it goes. I shall now Bpeak of the general make- up of the future brood sow. She should have a short head, wide between the eyea and a good, plump eye, a motherly look, ears not too large. Discard a hog with saddle skirt ears. They are difficult to drive, their ears blind them. Head well set up to the shoulders, a good broad back slightly arched, good hams that come well down on hocks, deep sides and good length, must be roomy in order to raise large litters. Ought to have ten or twelve well developed teatB and of course Bhould be chosen from a dam that is known to be a good Buckler and that raiBed large litters. She should have a large bone and stand well upon her feet. To the casual observer these would ap- pear to be email matters, but I wish to Bay that the farmer who succeeds is the one who looka well after the small details of the farm. — E W. Robinson in Ex. New Way to Make Butter. By way of a Chicago paper we learn that a committee of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia has made public a report on the Tay'or process of making butter, and recommending that Mr. Taylor re- ceive the John Scott medal and premium. In this process sweetcream is poured into shallow pans, the bottoms of which are covered with absorbent pads. These pads are composed of heavy white blotting paper and absorb from the cream nearly all of its constituents except the fat. The cream fat remains as a layer on the sur- face of tbe pads and after several hours standing it may be rolled off. In thiB condition the product contains rather too much water and milk proteids; on this account, and because of the absence of salt, it does not keep well. If, however, the separated butter fat be worked and salted in the same way as the ordinary churned product, the result is a fine grade of butter. The process has the advantage of cheapness, since the pads may be used over and over again lasting it ia said for six months of daily use. The labor of churning is avoided, and, on account of the use of fresh cream instead of thft which has stood to ripen for Beveral days, the finished product keeps better than butter made in the ordinary way. m Dairy System Pays. The Mule. Although the mule has no pride in bia paternity nor hope of posterity, it never theless has an ancient if not honorable lineage, says a writer in an exchange. The first record of it, at least m bible timee, is to be found in the thirty-sixth chapter of the book of Genesis, where tbe historian records the descendants of Esau. Dukes were plentiful in those days, but none of them seem to have done anything in particular to beget other dukes, until we read of one Anab, the eon of Zibeon. Zibeon does not seem to be a duke at all, the nobility not running in that line, but he begat a son named A nali, of whom the historian pauses to record as follows: "This was that Anah that found tbe mules in the wilderneaa, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father." This man did something, and is about the only one of tbe lot. He discovered apparently by accident, tbe method of First select some good breed, the one best adapted to your locality, and most to your liking, and then establish a sys- tem in caring for the herd and be regular in carrying it out in every detail, writes E. M. Pike in Massachusetts Ploughman. Feed at the same time each day, and tbe same amount. Do not think that you can feed three times one day and feed the same amount at two feeds the next and let the cows go with the third feed and get tbe same result. It does not matter so much how many times a day you feed as it dees to feed the same number of times each day. Water as regularly as as you feed and do not forget to card and brush the cows as regularly as you feed and water. Even the cleaning of the stable and all other work about the Btable Bhould be done at the same time each day, as the cows will soon learn to know what time they are to be fed and watered and worked around, and will expect it, and become uneasy and restless if the expected operation ia delayed, but will lie down peacefully and quiet after it iB performed. Cows should have their place in the stable, and be tied in the same stanchion each time. Thia will avoid much con. usion in tieing ttiem up, as each cow will Boon learn her place and take it, and besides a tieup full of cowb looks much better if the cows are arranged in order according to size, being graded from one end of tbe tieup to the other. it is much more convenient t< feed a lot of cows if they are in the sami place each time so that the feeder knowi just which one he is feeding even if hi cannot see her. As hardly any two coulc require the same amount, this will bi found a great convenience. Feed regu larly ; water regularly ; groom regularly tie up regularly, but above all, milk regu larly. A cow allowed to go any length of tim< beyond her ueual milking time becomei uneasy and restless to the detriment o both quantity and quality of milk. A cow also becomes used to a milkei and should have the same one right along The idea of a man, whom I recently met, although quite original and perhaps having some good features, was I believe, wrong in tbe main. He let his cows come into the stable and take their place any- where it happened, and then at milking time he and his men began at one end '" and milked the cowb as they came to ' them. ThiB he said he did because it was difficult to get good milkers, and in this way he got a chance to milk each cow himself once in a while and find out il she was all right He seemed to forget that the poor milker got the same chance to poorly milk all of the cows aa well himself and thus damage the whole herd, Establish a ByBtem about your stable rii, w rk and then abide by it to the nearest »'* perfection poBBible and see if it does not pay. i Just so sure as tbe number of grazing animals is allowed to increase beyond the capacity of the range we must expect more or less loss. It is never safe to attempt to graze seventy-five or eighty head upon a section of land which will only safely carry fifty head the yeai round, although if natural conditions are exceptionally favorable during a particu lar year as they are this seaaon a man may overstock hiB paatures and realize a profit during that year. On the contrary, should the natural conditions not prove tc be as favorable as the stockman had hoped his losses at seventy-five or eighty head to the square mile will largely exceed the normal losses were the land stocked onlj to the extent of its minimum carrying capacity. Not only will the pecuniar* loss, or the probability of such loss, btl less and the actual profits on the cattle b<: more in the case of undergrazing, but thfi land itself will gradually increase in valuii and the grazing capacity be augumentec from year to year. In one case the lanc^ is stocked beyond its carrying capacity, S(j that it rapidly and continuously deterio, rates in value ; in the other case constant increase in value may be confidentl; expected, both of the land and its pro; ducts during the same series of years.

Stock judging is a Bkill naturally possessed by Bome and it is a science that the breeder and feeder should understand. The agricultural colleges are giving prac- tical instruction in judging live stock that is one of the moBt faBcinating studies of the college, as it includes the knowledge of improved Btock breeding. The students visit many prominent breeders of the different breeds and at the state fairs and at the Chicago International they test their judgment and skill. Prof. Ferguson, of the Michigan Agri- cultural College, gives the following rules to hiB students : 1. Have confidence in your own powers. 2. Concentrate your thoughts on the breed and breed type of the animals you are working upon. 3. Do not hurry. Take time to decide. Having done so, Btick to it. "Be sure you are right, then go ahead." 4. If possible watch the class as it comes into the ring. There is often some- thing about the style and carriage of the winner whicn marts him out as he walkB. 5. Take a minute to look over the line from as near the center as possible in order to get a general idea on conforma- tion. 6. Then pasB elowly clear around the ring, inspecting each animal from front and rear. 7. Never be satisfied without using your hand in addition to your eyes. Ap- pearances are often deceitful. 8. In handling always work from front to rear. With cattle work on the right side, approaching the animal from behind. 9 First pick out the winner of the class; then use it as your standard in placing second and third. 10 When first is placed, briefly sum up its strong points. 11. Look for characteristics and most common breed defects. - 12. Pay no attention to either the men with you or the crowd around you. Your business is with the animals. muscle, form and bone. Build the frame, the fat can go on later. A fat little pig is in poor condition to grow. You want them sinooth, mellow, stretchy, and you will then build a good form. It is better to raise eight good pigB than twelve inferior ones. There will be more money in the former than in the latter, though they outnumber them. Quality is more important than quantity. The pig is a clean animal, if you will allow him to be so, although some people compel tbem to wade through mud leg deep to eat their feed. This is not their fault. All troughs and feeding pens should be kept scrupulously clean. Don't let any feed remain after they get through with the food in the trough. It sours, moulds and is unhealthy. If you permit the beds of your little pigs to become wet, damp and unchanged, your pigs will soon be troubled with sore tails and scours. The healthy pig is the profitable pig. Do all things towardB improving and maintaining the health if you would make a profit in the hog business. Be Bure the pigs have a trough for themselves that cannot bo reached by the mother or other hogs. It teaches them to cat and prevents any shrinkage during weaning. It is a self-weaner.

Washing the churn is something we cannot be too particular about. First, rinse out in clean, cold water, then wash in hot water and scald thoroughly. If you have a dash in your churn, take it all apart and see that it is well scalded, and then dry. Keep your churn in a clean, dry place. Don't let it stand dirty any longer than possible after it is used. All milk utensils should be rinBed in cold water then washed in hot water and Bcalded. Don't, use soap, a little soda is better and will help to sweeten them and remove all odors. Have cloths and towels on purpose for that and see that they are kept clean and pure. We notice where there is complaint about butter not gathering in cold weather is mostly because the cream is too cold when churned. An engineer without water or a steam gauge on hia engine is no worse off than a dairyman without a ther- Imometer. Keep your cream well stirred, j No unnecessary delay should be allowed ' between the process of handling the cream and making the butter. The women of the farm should assert their rfghts and have the improved methods of caring for milk and butter and thuB have a desirable article to sell which has not cost so much hard labor to pro- duce. It is said butter costs from eleven to thirty cents per pound. We should manage our ways so our butter will not cost so much, and that iB by introducing better cows, feeding better and employing better methodB throughout the work.

The veterinary editor of the London Farm and Sortie gives a valuable article that horsemen and stockmen should know about the pulsations of the horse, which is here reproduced : What is the number of pulsations of the horse? suggests the holding; of tbepopular notion that accele- rat!on is taken into serious consideration when the indications of the pulse are considered as an aid to diagnosis in disease. Tbe knowledge that in the horsei or, for the matter of that, any other domesticated animal, the pulsations in health average so many per minute is not likely to be very useful to the farmer or horse-owner — indeed it may lead the amateur veterin- ary surgeon astray, unless at the same time he appre- ciates the importance of character in the pulse. He may see the doctor lightly grasping the wrist of his patien'. with tbe ringer of one hand, while holding his watch in his other, in his best bedside manner; or the veterinary surgeon standing on the near side of hie patient with his left hand on ihe horse's nose, and pressing the sub-maxillary artery against tbe lower jawbone with the Sogers of his right — looking very serious and very wise — and assume that they are counting all the time; but they are not. Each takes Borne note of number, but, at the same time, the manner in which the blood is propelled through the artery is receiving the more serious consideration. There are several things that influence tbe number of pulsations, even in the healthy animal, including breed, age, pregnancy, warmth, plethora, etc., and thus there is a good deal of room for discrimination] even if there were anything in the popular notion that acceleration in speed is inseparably connected with disease. For example, if we take two horses, say a very common-bred carting animal and a well- bred hunter, it will be found that so far as the number of pulsations per minute is concerned, there may be a difference of eight or ten beats. At the same time the animal with the faster pulse may be in better health than the other. The same difference is to be observed in bovines as regards age, and between an early cow and a yearling heifer there may be a difference of ten to twenty pulsations — in fact, tbe pulse, as well as the respiration, is always faster in all young animals, while the internal temperature, as indicated by the clinical thermometer, is always higher. Nervous animals roughly handled show increased frequency, the excitement producing such an impression on the nervous system as to cause the action of the heart to be greatly quickened. The number of pulsations at any poiot of an artery simply represent tbe number of contractions of the left ventricle of the heart in a given time, and if mere number is all we want to know we need not trouble about taking the pulse at an artery at all. If the ear, or even the palm of the hand is placed against the chest on the near side, the number of heart beats can be correctly counted, and it will tell just as much as if pulsations are counted at a distant artery. It is, of course, desirable to know that the pulse of the horse is normally 32 to 36, or 34 to 40 in well bred animals, that in the ox the average is 46, tbat it is faster during rumination (70 to 80) and faster In the young animal (55 to 65) than in the adult; that in the sheep it is from 60 to 90; in the pig 55 to 75 and in the dog 70 to 90; but when this has been learned we are ODly on the threshold of the subject, for it is on character that reliance has to be placed for the indica- tions of disease. The different kinds of pulsations, or character of pulse, have received different names to distinguish them, and in technical pathological de- scriptions we meet with such terms aB full, small, soft, hard, oppressed, unequal, confused, thready, im- perceptible, intermittent, diacrotonous, cordy, wiry and several others, as applied to the state of the pulse> It is hardly to he expected that the amateur will be able to understand all the finer distinctions, but an appreciation of at least the more important of the characteristics is not difficult to acquire — indeed, is absolutely necessary to the proper understanding of the value of pulse indications in their relationship to departures from health. A slow pulse is wben the number of beats is below the normal per minute, and it indicates defective nervous energy, such as would arise in certain brain troubles. A weak pulse denotes feeble heart action, and is expressive of debility. An irregular or intermittent pulse indicates heart disease, and is due to arrest of the heart's action at either regular or irregular intervals. A hard pulse is in- dicative of inflammation or fever, the hard, jerky pulse of inflammation of the bowels is an example. It is necessary also to be able to distinguish between frequency and quickness, Bince they are not by any means the same thing. A pulse may be described, say, as frequent, small and quick. This means a frequent beat of tbe heart, a quick contraction, and a small quantity of blood sent out at each beat. When the blood vessels are much distended we have the oppressed pulse, in which the heat is prolonged and not very marked. This indicates congestion, say, of the lungs, and, owing to obstruction, the blood is with difficulty forced along. Where to take the pulse is another common ques- tion, and one on which "Northern" requests informa- tion. From what has already been said, it will be understood that for indications other than that of number, which can be obtained by listening to the heart, it is necessary to take the pulse at an artery, the size and degree of contraction of which shows the hardness, softness, fulness, smalkess, etc. With every beat of the heart the blood is propelled through tbe vessels called arteries, which have a degree of elasticity that enables them to adapt themselves to the volume of the stream. The force with which the blood is propelled from the heart diminishes as the distance from the center of circulation is increased, but is palpable to the remotest extremity. Owing to this diminution of the force it is desirable to select a vessel of considerable size, and as near to the heart as possible. It must be superficial, and so situated that it can be pressed against seme hard body, such as a bone. There are several arteries that permit of this being done, and different vessels are utilized for tak- ing rhe pulse in different animals by different prac- titioners. In the horse the sub maxillary artery is in- variably employed. The vessel is situated at the lower jaw, and the method usually adopted is to take up a positir n quietly on the near side of the animal, and to soothe and pat it to allay any fear or excite- ment. Then place the left hand lightly on the nose, and find the artery with the fingers of the right, pressing the vessel gently against the jaw bone, so as to ascertain the manner in which the blood is flowing through it. The number of pulsations per minute are counted while their character is noted. There is no point at which the equine pulse can be taken so con- veniently as at the jaw, although there are, of course, other vessels which can be employed. It is safest, as well as most convenient. The Three-Quarter Shoe for Interfering Horses. It matters not how perfect some horses may be, or how well they are shod, the very best of tbem will be found to interfere, writes a shoer in the Horseshoer's Journal, Of the causes we know much and yet when a case of interfering is brought to us we often become puzzled as to what the cause really is. Perhaps it is a renewed case, one that the same man has shod before many times an*! has effected a cure of the interfering, and going about the job full of confidence he uses the same shoe and dresses the foot in the same manner as he did before successfully, and yet the ani- mal may return worse off than ever, and this is what sets the horseshoer thinking. There are all kinds of shoes for the different kinds of interferers, and we all know that the same rule can not be applied in any two cases, so we must revert to some particular design of shoe, and some particular method of preparing the foot of a certain horse which is suitable to his particular case. It does not pay for a man in business to advise his patron to dosomething which will give him no return; a medical doctor or a lawyer are paid mostly for their advice; horseshoers should also be allowed something for theirs, and in- deed if they set themselves up as entitled to it they would receive pay for the advice they give, because it must be understood that our patient, tbe horse, is out of our sight the better portion of the month and still we are held more or less responsible for his well being in travel. But, as I was going to say, to advise the removal of the hind shoes when a horse is found in- terfering in that part and to have bim driven for two or three days, then brought back and shod with light shoes, the face of which should be rounded to com- pare with the wear of the hoof while the feet have been stripped, this is one of the surest and best methods to effect a cure of interfering that is possible to find. I before said that it would not pay the horseshoer to recommend this to the horse owner, but it does pay far better to hold the patron's confidence than to dis- courage him by compelling the return of the horse two or three times during perhaps one week and still no cure. Now this method of producing a cure can be tried in a case of any horse used for light driving, especially if he is used on the roads or where the pave- ments are very level, or on the dry roads. Next to this method of producing a quick cure I want to recommend the three-quarter shoe; the three-quarter shoe is to be commended for more than one reason, but it cannot, unfortunately, be used on all cases for the reason that tbe leg structures are different and therefore it cannot be used in all cases. Take for, instance, the foot which sets on a leg so as to bring its center far to the outside of the bones above; a three- quarter shoe on this kind of case would likely do more harm than good, but when the foot and leg are on a true line one with the other then the three- quarter shoe should be applied whenever possible because it possesses more real virlueif rightly ad justed than any interfering shoe ever designed. In preparing the foot for the three-quarter shoe, care should betaken to reduce all of that portion of the wall on which the shoe sets; the inside web of shoe should at its extreme end set into the hoof about half the thickness of the shoe and thus we get almost a perfectly level foot. The frog has its full play on the ground and the foot is brought as near to naturo as any horseshoe can provide. There Is a combination of virtues in the three-quarter shoe not the least of which is tbe additional weight given to the outside quarter, which assists in carrying the foot on a more straightlinewith the body and away from the opposite ankle. Again, in picking the foot up there is no metal to cut or bruise the opposite ankle as in the case of the full snoe. The three-quarter shoe allows more complete play on the inside quarter of hoof, and here again we have an advantage because the expanding process is sonsequently going on all to the relief of the foot. The animal that is built with feet pointing from his hips to the center of the body as they rest on the ground is most generally to be found interfering at some time in his life and on such a case the three- quarter shoe can be used with almost certain success. Improvements at Lexington. Box seats will be built in the grandstand at the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Association this summc. There will be about two hundred of them— one hundred seats in the grandstand proper and one hundred in the balcony. They will be completed before the great fall trots begin. The trots have become one of the great social func- tions of the fall season, Lovers of the light harness horses come here from the evergreen shores of the Pacific, the busy cities of the Atlantic coast, the hustling towns of the North, and the sunny South. They meet here in the fall and attend the greatest meeting for harness horses given in the world. It has been the object of the Kentucky Trotting Breeders' Association since the Bport became popular here to give the visitors and the home people the best accommodations that money could supply. The directors of the association have personally investi- gated the conditions of the hotels, and urged the proprietors to make the rooms and quarters com- fortable for the guests of the city at that time. Last year the management of the Phoenix Hotel added an an extra story to the building in order to give the guests better accommodations. There was but one thing left to be done, and that was to give the guests more privacy after the grounds had been reached. The only solution to this problem was tbe construction of box seats, and the Board of Directors decided to have them put in. Secretary Horace Wilson has been receiving bids for the work for a week, and the contract will be closed In a short time. The seats will be sold to the highest bidders, and any person allowed in the grounds will be permitted to use them if the price is paid. A new fence is replacing the old one around the track. Other improvements are contemplated, so that by the time of the fall trots the grounds and buildings will be in excellent condition. — Kentucky Farmer and Breeder. What J. Crouch & Son Say. Messrs. J. Crouch & Son of the Lafayette Stock Farm, the largest importers of German Coach, Belgian and Percheron stal- lions io the world, have lhl3tosay: "We have used your Craft's Distemper & Cough Cure almost continuously for the past twelve years, and consider it Indispensable In the treatment of the vari- ous forms of distemper, coughs, colds, catarrhal aDd shipping fevers It is tbe only remedy that can be relied upon at all times and under all circumstances. No horseman should ever be with- out the protection afforded by this great remedy. When shipping horses we invariably use Craft's as a preventive against shipping fever and other Infectious diseases to which our horses are more or less exposed. We reco mend it to all owners or handlers of horses." See This.

The new rule pertaining to the classification of horses is a decided improvement; last year a horse winning a race was required to move up into a faster class, regardless as to whether he won by a length after a hard lought battle or by ten lengths after an ea9y race This year the question of moving a winner up has been left to tbe discretion of the classification committee, and better and closer races will be tbe result.

FIELD 1)1 Mi N NOW IN DEMAND Now that tha fall hunting season is near at hand many sportsmen are looking around for a desirable dog to work to the gun. In this respect we know of nothing better ou the Coast than a broken Pointer from the Stockdale Kennels at Bakerstlold. Manager "Mace" Dodge is one of the best known and reputable trainers in the United States and a young dog turned out by him Is a dog that a sportsman can rely on to be a valuable working field dog and thoroughly broken in every requisite.

A practical outcome of the recent show at Santa Cruz has resulted in the organization of an enthusiastic kennel club. The new club starts off with a splendid list of membership, including some of the moBt promi- nent citizens of the county. It is proposed to hold a bench show in the Casino some time in September. The membership roll and officers of the new club are the following: President, Joseph O. Home; first vice-president, Montroyd Sharpe; second vice-president, Warren R. Porter; secretary, F. J. Torchiana; treasurer, H. D. Fagen; directors, Joseph O. Home, Montroyd Sharpe, T. W. Kelly, H. S. Wanzer, Fred W. Swan- ton; bench show committee, Joseph O. Home, J. M. Walsh, J. J. C. Leonard, T. W. Kelly, F. J. Tor- chiana; members, J. O. Home, G H. Normand, Mont- royd Sharpe, James Normand, Major F. McLaughlin, H. Willey, Warren R. Porter, Leo A. Dieter, F. J. Torchiana, J. M. Walsh, James G. Piratsky, J. J. C. Leonard, H F. Anderson, H. D. Fagen, Fred R. Howe, W. C. Hoffman, Thomas K. Kelly, George Martin, Fred W. Swanton, Percy Morse, J. W. Forgeus, D. W. Johnston, Irving Townsend, G. W. Sill, Geo. C. Staffler, J. W. Baxter, F. O. Hihn, Fred R. Walti, H. S. Fletcher, W. E. Miller, Jr., H. S. Wanzer, N. J. Stewart, E. Kelly, J. G. Tanner, C. F. Fagen. A SEATTLE DOG POISONING CASE The prosecution, that it is claimed would have re- sulted in a conviction, of a dog poisoner one Adam Hoenioke, was dropped by the Seattle Kennel Club for the reason that the defendant, a well to do farmer, was found dead in a field the night previous to his preliminary hearing on a charge of maliciously poison- ing dogs with strychnine. Hoenickehad been dead apparently a week or more when the body was discovered. He had not been seen since June 23d, and it was evident to callers, from ap- pearances about his place, that he had been absent, a search or several days resulted in finding the re- mains. He was 73 years old, his death is supposed to have been due to heart ailments. The crime for which the aged farmer was arrested by Humane Officer Clark, of Seattle, at the request of the Seattle Kennel Club, was the death by poisoning of three valuable dogs. J. W. Riplinger's English Setter Bracken O'Leck bad a close call also. Capt. E. A. Swift's Pointer bitch, Kitsap Juno, winner at the recent Seattle show, and ar English Setter owned by John W. Considine were two of the victims. Autopsies showed strychnine to have been the cause of death. A number of witnesses were ready to prove that Hoenicke had openly expressed threats to kill all of the dogs in the kennels of S. Hanson at South Park, about five miles from Seattle. Hanson is a well known and popular trainer and had in oharge a number of dogs for the coming Northwest field trials. Dogs in Washington State are personal property and owners are protected by statute. Charles L. Lundy, a Seattle fancier, had been retained for the prosecution and would have, subsequent to the crimi- nal trial, brought civil action for damages. WORKING COLLIES. Glen Tana Collie Kennels make a specialty of breed- ing the best working strains of Collies for sheepmen and sell tbem at reasonable prices. The G. T. Collies have made a clean sweep of the Paclfie Coast shows, winning 168 first prizes, 18 seconds, 3 thirds and special cups for best Collie bitch and best Collie dog in 7 shows. The Spokane kennels also have the largest and best kennel of stud dogs on the Coast. A select lot of puppies are offered fanciers who are desirous of getting good stock. Orders for young or old dogsean be filled and purchasers can rely on the integrity of the kennel management. It behooves the fancy to send for the recently issued circular listing a number of desirable degs that are for sale. A request mailed to Thos. S. Griffith, P. O. Box No. 1907, Spokane, Wash., will receive prompt attention. In the list of dogs and bitches offered at stud and for sale will be found much information of value to Collie breeders. We note in the classified "ads" on page 15, that Mr. D. E. Martin of Livermore has some desirable young Pointers for sale.

The trap Bhooting function tomorrow that is of much interest to local sportsmen is the meeting under the auspiceB of the Vallejo Gun Club at the Flos den Station grounds near Vallejo. The feature of the day will be the five man team shoot by squads represen ting the Golden Gate, Union and Empire Gun Clubs of San Francisco, Santa Rosa Gun Club, Hercules Gun Club of Pinole, St Helena and Vallejo Gun Clubs. The shoot will be for a trophy and is the Initial meet of a series of shool s until the trophy has been won twice by a contending team— the schedule states "best two out of three wins. " As there is no assurance that tbe same club will win twice out of three shoots, the chance for an extremely interesting series of shoots is a good one. There will be optional side pools, high guns, one money for each three entries. M. A. Clark of the Vallejo Gun Club will be Captain of the day and popular Thus. L. Lewis, Secretary of the Union Gun Club, will act as manager of the shoot. A large at- tendance is anticipated lor the Vallejo sportsmen are good fellows and painstaking entertainers.

Among the visitors were J. Ed Vaughan of Santa Ana who broke 23 and 20 targets from the 16 yard peg, W. A. Robert- son 21, B. Baird 17 and Ed Schultz 23.

At the recent annual camp stew of the Grass Valley Sportsmen's Club about 250 congenial spirits were present and drank:, ate, made merry and had a jolly time all day such as only can be enjoyed at this time-honored and wholesouled yearly gathering of sportsmen. With the faint streaks of morning showing in the eastern sky the faithful ones crawled out, started the fires and began preparations for breakfast. There was little time to wait. From Nevada City, Grass Valley, Auburn, Colfax, Spenceville, Smartsville arid other places rigs began to arrive bearing hungry mortals whose appetites had been sharpened by the long ride in the crisp morniag air. Then the cooks did a business which would shame any quick order house in the country. T. W. B. Golding, W. H. Smith and Elmer Roberts presided over the region of steaks and chops, bacon and liver and glorious rich, aromatic coffee that would have made any housewife jealous. Henry Campbell prepared the salad. Then with milk, bread and butter, the meal was complete. And eat! Every new arrival seemed hungrier tban the one before. All were apparently hollow clear to their feet. It was a genuine pleasure to watch them devour the rich, juicy steaks and stow away vast quantities of other things. Joke and hearty laughter rang around the long tables, making the most con- firmed dyspeptic forget his infirmity and do justice to a meal under the pines which would have astonished a section hand. Until 10 o'clock breakfast was served and the waiters were kept on the jump to the finish. Up to noon the hunters came in from afield, but all had tbe same hard luck story — no doves. This had been expected, however, and ample provision made to eubstltutechickens. Instead of 1200 doves, the num- ber brought in a year ago, 100 would cover the bag. Ward Mitchell bagged twenty two, tbe record of the day. The Marysville contingent brought two dozen tame ducks, and others provided rabbits and other game. Then the arrangements began for tbe great and only stew. Captain George R. Tuttle, Gennett Opie, William Provla, W. J. Grenfell, J. C. Conaway, A. P. Brady, J. C. Tyrrell, James Lucas and others peeled spuds, while Dr. Grown, Wm Connors, A. J. Brock - Ingtun, Con Sullivan, John Hammill, Leo Garthe, Superintendent of Sohools O'Neill and Henry Posner removed the feathers from defunct birds. The clean- ing department was conduoted by Elmer Roberts and Ed. Paynter. Maurice O'Connell, that king of camp stew chefs, took charge of the big affair, as in years past, and with James Phillips and the rest of bis able assistants, soon had the kettles bubbling forth savory odors which told appetizingly of the feast to come. During the preparatory stew period the time was spent in whole-souled fun. All dignity was cast aside and like big boys the men, young and old, many staid men of affairs, the big gathering laughed, frolicked, sang and made merry. Running, jumping and other sports, followed by songs, addresses and stories, whiled waiting appetitesinto patience and good humor. A quartette composed of Messrs. James and Archie Crase, Harry Morgan and Louis Hooper, rendered numerous selections. Tbe young men have rare good voices and sang with great feeling old war songs, negro melodies and popular pieces. If any set of men know how to have a good time, and at the same time induce everybody else to do the same, the Marysville visitors are that set. They came to the picnic in a carry -all and several carriages, with a choice stock of liquid refreshments, and kept open house all day. The club, at its stand, dispensed cold refreshments from morn till night with lavish band, free to all. A competent force of "mahogany artists" ladled out the wet goods. At 4 o'clock the summons to the feast met with immediate response, and in a few minutes tbe three long tables were surrounded by as hungry a lot of mortals as had helped to demolish breakfast. O'Con- nell had the stew done to the second. Plenty of liquids and other good things accompanied the steaming, savory mess, adding zest to the feast. Hon. J. R. Ty well presided as toastmaster with his usual genialty and graceful tact. Among the speak- ers who added their quota to the good things of the day were Superior Judge Nilon, who responded in a numerous and apt style to the toast "A True Sports- man."

A handy, convenient and properly working camp cook stove or cooking apparatus of any kind has been an object of long and presisteot search by sportsmen and campers out for many a day. Many contraptions have been put on the market, most of them are cast aside with disgust after a short period of unsatis- factory usage. The best thing in this line we have seen yet is a grill, designed somewhat after the U. S. Army company cooking stove or grill A strong oblong iron frame is arranged for two-thirds of its length with transverse iron rods, the other third is crossed with heavy short iron slats, bent in the middle, trans- versely, at almost a right angle. Pour flat iron up- rights are made to hold the grill over the coals. The whole apparatus is simple, handy and easy to pack. The arrangement of the cross rods and slats is such that one can do any kind of broiling, toasting, baking, cooking or stewing with a number of utensils all on at the same time and with less bother and better than any other contrivance offered for outdoor cook- ing. The range was designed by Mr. ubss. Rollo Peters, it is patented, and can be Been or bought at the store of Clabrough, Golcher & Co., 53S Market St.. S. F. TRADE NOTES.

PETERS' POINTS The good work being done with Peters' factory loaded shells goes on without interruption. At the Grand American Handicap, June 27 to 30, there was much comment upon the very handsome appearance of these goods, and their perfect shooting" qualities. They were used by fully 25% of the contestants, and in some of the matches by an even greater proportion. Many excellent and even phenomenal scores were made with them. The Consolation Handicap, one of the big events of the tournament, was won by Mr James T. Atkinson, of New Castle, Pa , with Peters' Ideal shells. He stood at the 18-yard line, and broke 99 out of 100. One other contestant tied with Mr. Atkinson, but in the shoot-off, the latter won 18 to 17. In this match two scores of 98, five of 97, four of 96, and twenty-seven other scores of over 90% were made with these goods. In the Preliminary Handicap, Mr. Wm. Veach, of Falls City, Neb., scored 97 out of 100 from tbe 18 yard mark. On the first day of the tournament Mr. L. H. Reid finished with 99 out of 100; and Mr Lutber Wade had a run of 113 straight to his credit. On practice day, June 26, Mr. Frank See tied for high average, 99 out of 100. All these gentlemen used Peters' regular factory loads. These and other equally notable performances at tbe famous Grand American Handicap ahowed that Peters' shells may be relied upon for perfect results, no matter how im- portant the issue at stake. At Binghamton, N. Y., June 20 and 21, Mr. Neaf Apgar won high average, breaking 380 out of 400. At the Rohrers Island shoot, Dayton, Ohio, June 13, Mr. R. S. Rhoads was high gun w'ith 187 out of 200. At St. Paris, Ohio, a few days later he won high average for both days, scoring 332 out of 350. At Converse, Ind , June 22 and 23, high average first day was won by Mr. Austin Flynn, and on the second day by Dr. M. Wilson, both using Peters shells. GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP. The sixth Grand American Handicap at inanimate targets, held at Indianapolis, Ind., from June 27th to 30th, inclusive, under the auspices of the Indianapolis Gun Club, was indeed the largest and most successful meet of its kind ever held in America. Of tbe many successful ones who carried away honors we should mention R R. Barber, of Paullina, Iowa, and W. R. Crosby, who won amateur and professional averages respectively. Mr R. R. Barber, an amateur from Paullina, Iowa, won the big event at Indianapolis from a field of 335 of the best shots in America with a score of 99 out of 100, and the preliminary with a 6Core of 98 out of 100. In the Consolation Handicap he scored 97 out of 100, and he also made a run of 157 straight. Mr. Barber's scores 99, 98 and 97 establish a new world's record for the three event6. This new Togo of the shooting world; W. R. Crosby, who won the first professional average with a score of 298 out of 300; Fred Gilbert, who won second professional average with a score of 295 out of 300, and the winner of the high amateur average, all shot Winchester "Leader" shells, the reliable, tbe uniform, the win- ning kind— the only kind to shoot. Billy Crosby has held the world 's long run record of 345 straight since March 31, 1901, and now makes another world's rec- cord of 419 straight, with Winchester "Leader" shells. REMINGTON AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN. Announcement is made that the Remington Im- proved Automatic will be ready for the trade on or about August 15th. The new model of the gun de- signed by John M. Browning has a number of im- provements that will be acceptable to sportsmen. The take down action has been strengthened and simplified, the stock is improved in shape and made of an extra good selection of walnut. The breech is locked mw with a double bolt. The fore-end screw is reinforced with a double collar and tbe head of the magazine cylinder has now a strong, square screw thus improving these particular parts of the maga- zine and spring mechanism to the desired extent of durability and perfect action. A noticeable change is the admirable balance of the new model which is de- signed to shoot six shots and is made in 7 grades ranging in price from $30 to $150, in 12-gauge only, 28 inches regular length of barrels. The higher grades are handsomely engraved, with plain or grip checkered stocks of the best walnuts procurable, and in every respect i9 a shotgun that will be a favorite with sportsmen. Mr. Browning is the owner of the first gun turned out by the Remington works, President M. Hartly has gun No. 2 and Mr. E. E Drake is the possessor of No 3. GOOD SHOOTING IN OREGON. Selby Factory Loaded Shells are familiar to and used by the majority of tbe sportsmen of tbe Pacific Coast. At tbe recent tournament of the Grants Pass Gun Club, R. C. Reed shot high average, 93.5. R. L. Bartlett was first amateur average 84.5, and Thos. Armstrong 83 6%, second amateur average. D. W. King, Jr., made the best consecutive run, 69. These good scores were made with Selby Factory Loaded Shells — ammunition that is always ready and reliable. EXCELLENT RESULTS. A. J. Webb, who won the Northwest Individual Target Championship recently at Portland, Phil B. Bekeart challenge cup at Ingleside, also won tbe Empire Gun Club Championship, the Sweeney Record Medal and tied for club high average for 1905. Webb shoots an L. C. Smith hammerless and has done so for years past. JULY 22. 1905] oltie gvceoev* miD grpurtamcm 11 *#• THE FARM. Butter. One may delay the doing of many things without loss, but to pat off churn- ijng when the cream is ripe, is not in the lliat. The miBtake must not be made of thinking that butter is made by churn- ling. It is being made from the time the mUk is drawn until it is churned. No lamount of doctoring will cure a poor iquality of butter. It is of the utmost | ^importance that the churn be scrupul- ously clean and sweet smelling before 'using. In order to have it so, it must be washed immediately after using-, scalded and Bet where it will be thoroughly aired and dried, writes Mrs. A. C. McPnerson .in Orange Judd Farmer. Rinsing in ''ime water o casionally is of benefit and will remove the musty odors which sometime linger around churns. The putting of cold water into the churn after cleansing, as practiced by some dairymen, is not to be recommended, as a very unpleasant odor will be developed in a day or two, especially if the day is warm. 1 After scalding the churn, preparatory to using, it must be rinsed in cold water, 1 or elsed a woody smell will be imparted i to the cream. All wooden utensils used 1 in dairy work should be washed in tepid ' water first, and afterward scalded, rinsed and dried. The dishcloth must never be used in dairy work. If a cloth is ever ' necessary, it must be for that one use. ! Woodenware can be cleansed more I rapidly, neatly and satisfactorily with the I aid of a brush ; either rice straw or bristle i brush should be kept for this puipose ] alone. j If a concussion churn is used, when i the butter begins to come — when about a the size of a grain of wheat — the churn J should be stopped for five or more rain- ,1 ntes, or until the granules rise to the top. » The buttermilk must then be drained off 3 and cold water added to work the butter .'. in the churn. A skimmer may be used i| to remove the butter from the churn. ii This should be when it is firm and well :r rinsed. The butter now in the granular '' state must be drained and salted with the « best dairy salt. [■ We prefer to salt butter after it is re- :' moved from the ilium, rather than brine salt it. We salt at the rate of \}i ounces salt per pound and think it adds to the '' keeping qualities of the butter, better D' than the ounce to the pound method. ,, Patrons find no fault with our butter so o prepared.

KERTELL, Manager. 12 mixs gveeftev axi& gipovt&man [July 22, 1905 Established Dairy Facts. Ten or fifteen veare ago the agricultural papera of the United States were actively engaged in discussing a number of mooted questions concerning the relation of the feed of cows tu milk production. Prior to that time there was a very general con- viction among farmers that both the quality and quantity of the milk could be improved by feeding. The farmer who was selling milk for town consumption had the conviction that if he fed hie cows bran he would not only get a great deal more milk, but less rich in butter fat; in other words, that he could adulterate the butter fat with slop feed or bran mashes and get more money for it. He also believed that he could in- crease the butter fat by more concentrated food. When this was fully thrashed out, the conclusion reached was that while more abundant feeding up to the capacity of the cow would increase the quantity of milk, the per cent of batter fat in the milk was determined by the idiosyncrasy of the cow, and that this could not be in- creased provided thecow was fed a normal ration ; that is, if the cow was getting Ibbb feed, and feed of an inferior quality, and then was changed to a feed adapted to her, there would be an increaae in her richness or butter fat in the milk, but beyond this point no increase waB poB- Bible. It was also discovered that there were changeB in the percentage of butter fat in the milk from day to day for which no adequate reason could be discovered. The British investigators took this up, and from one of our foreign exchanges we quote their conclusions, which are quite in line with the conclusions, of the investi- gators on this Bide: "That when a cow is in full milk and full fleBh she will give her normal quality of milk for at least a limited time, even though the quality and quantity of food be very deficient. "That when in good condition a cow will take off her body whatever is deficient in food in order to give her normal qual- ity of milk. "That an extra supply of nutritious food at all times increases the quantity of milk, but the percentage of fat is not in any way improved by it; if anything, the tendency being the other way. "That an extra Bupply of nutritious food almost invariably very slightly increases the solids not fat of the milk. That a ration poor in food ingredients has a very slight tendency to reduce the solids not fat in milk, but has little appreciable effect on the fat. "That with a poor ration a cow in full milk will lose carcass weight, while on a rich diet she will gain weight. "That although the percentage of fat in a cow's milk may vary daily we at present seem unable to control these variations or to account for them. "That for limited periods up to one month or thereaboutB, all ordinary quanti- ties and qualities of foods seem to have no material effeet on the quality of the milk. "That some feeds exercise a material effect in raising the melting point of butter. 'That the aim of all producers of milk, butter and cheese should be to feed what will give quantity in moderate amount and of a mixed nature, and then the produce will be the beet that cow can give. "That extra quality must be looked for by improving the breeds and judicious selection rather than by any special foods or methods of feeding. "That the variations in the percentage of fat in a cow's milk are caused by some tbing, but what that something is we at present do not know, though if we did we might be able to influence the quality. — Exchany If you would create something you must be something. California Cattle far Australia. The repeal of the quarantine against American bred cattle and sheep, which has closed the ports of Australia to breeders and stockmen of this country, has resulted in a prompt and gratifying demand from the Australian ranchers for American stock. C. E. Binnie, of Sydney, Australia, arrived in this city yesterday in com- pany with J. H. Hoyt, sheep inspector of Solano oounty. Yesterday they visited the ranch of Henry Glide, south of this city, to arrange for the purchase of a number of registered French merino sheep to be used for breeding pur- poses in Australia. Mr. Binnie stated that the owners of finer stock were aggrieved at the action of the Govern- ment, since the superior value of the French merino sheep has been recognized ever since the first exportation from the Glide ranch. This was several years ago when Jas. F. Roberts, a rancher of Livermore, returned to Australia, tak-. ing with him a half dozen of the finest animals bred in this oountry. Mr. Bin- nie, it was stated, is also arranging for heavy purchases of registered cattle and will take to Australia the first steam harvester ever used on the island continent. It is but a short time since Mr. Glide exported to South Africa sixty head of sheep which were purchased at Cape- town by the agent for General Cronje, one of the war heroes, who has aban- doned the sword for the sickle, and is engaged in cattle raising on alarge scale. Mr. Glide recently received a letter in the hand writing of General Cronje, ex- pressing satisfaction with the results obtained. Another large shipment will be made to Honolulu next week. Mr. Glide ex- ports five hundred head of sheep annually to France, England, Germany, Africa and Australia.— Sacramento Union. Age to Castrate Lambs. In a recent article on the subject of castration of lambs, it was advised that the operation be performed when lambB are fifteen days old. This advice was baBed upon an extensive experience with the operation, but we have nothing to say against castrating lambs at five dayB old, provided those folio ■ ing the practice have good Buccess. 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 sometimes experienced from the first milk of the dam, and less liable to quit Bucking as a reBult of the operation. In many instances lambs at five days old are weakly beasties not in a fit state to withstand shock cf castration, :o that it is better to wait until they gather strength 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, When ewes are well fed and have thriven well during the winter, their lambs would be better able to stand the early operation. It is ap- parent, therefore, that good judgment should be used in deciding when to cas- trate, and we should always wait for good weather even were lambs to go longer than fifteen days uncut.— A.S. Alexander V. S. There seems to be an animal magnetism between men and cowa which makes one milker more acceptable than another. It is unnecessary to say that it is unprofita- ble for anyone to attempt the care of cows who dislikes such work. There is such a thing as incompatibility of disposition between a cow and her keeper, which must be respected. o One advantage in spreading fine ma- nure 1b that the coarse Is much more Injurious, If the season turns off dry.

Remember that the stomach of the horse is small hence it should have fre- quent drinks of water in the day and especially in summer. Not only this, but the water should be fresh and cool and given from a clean receptacle. During the day, between meal, there is no reason why the horse should not have all the water it wants, provided it iB doing only ordinary hard work. There are other places for water also; when the horse comes in from the field remove the halter and head gear and with a large sponge go over the entire head and shoulders with the water, re- moving all the soil and prespiration ; let the water be used freely about the ears, the nostrils and in the mouth. Then go over the rest of the body and wipe it thoroughly with the wet Bponge. This sort of treatment will do the animal a world of good and it will eat better, sleep better and work better for this humane treatment. In warm weather look out for tender BpotB on the horse where the harness chafes ; be watchful that the harness fits in every part so that the work may be done without flinching. If the collar does not fit see that it iB attended to at once for the harness maker's bill will be lesB than the value of the services of the horse if it is laid.up for a week with a sore Bhoulder. Don't forget the nightly grooming and see that it is thoroughly done. A Cream Cooling Device. Now that the hot season ib approach- ing, I desire to call attention of butter makers to the bad practice of putting ice into the cream for cooling purposes. If you will just allow some ice to melt in a pail, and notice the impurities left in the water, you will know why I say "bad practice." But the cream must be cooled and you are not so fixed that you can ice the water around the cream vat suf- ficently to lower the temperature of the cream quite enough, and consequently you think that you are rather compelled to put ice into your cream. You are really not compelled to do any such thing. If you cannot cool your cream by icing the water outside the cream vat, try this plan: Take two or three long pails— "shotgun cans" are the best. Clean them thor- oughly on both outside and inside, fill them full of crushed ice and Bet them into the cream. Try this plan. I be lieve you will like it better than putting ice into the body of the cream.— Creamery Journal. O. F. WILLEY CO. (Established 1855) Carriage Builders and Dealers Harness, Robes and Whips.

Marty McKay's dun mare The Donna by Athadon worked a great mile at the Fresno track one morning during the meeting last week. She turned tbe track in 2:08, several watches catching the mile in 2;07}. The Donna paced this mile very handily and the opinion is general among horsemen that she will do to start in almost any class next year. It was not Millard Sanders who drove Angle to victory in the M. & M. at Detroit but the well known Cleveland trainer, George Saunders, who purchased the mare for Mr. C. Morris of Cleveland and trained her for this big event. Angle is a mare of wonderful speed and worked a mile in 2:06} last year behind a wind shield, but is somewhat flighty. The three-year-old colt Bystander by Zolock was distanced in the first heat of the Chamber of Com- merce Stake at Detroit, and met tbe same fate in the Consolation end of the stake. It is asking a little too much of a good three-year-old to expect him to win money in a stake that attracts such a olass of aged horseB as is always entered in theC. of C. Cresco Wilkes, the very handsome colt by Nut- wood Wilkes that won the 2:17 pace on the last day of the Fresno meeting, reducing his record to 2:10}, is owned by Director I. L. Borden of tbe PC. T. H. B. A. and iB out of his mare Allie Cresco 2:1 3} by Cresco, son of Strath more. Cresco Wilkes is a four-year-old. He took a record of 2:17 at the State Fair last year in the Occident Stanford pace. The fifteen-year-old stallion Holly Woodnut 2:20}, owned by E. B. Long of the Harlem Valley Stock Farm, White Plains, N. Y., dropped dead from heart disease In a pasture on the farm one day last week. He was sired bv Woodnut 2:16}, son of Nutwood 2:18}; dam Charm (dam of eight standard porformers) by Santa Claus 2:17}, son of Strathmore. Holly Wood- nut was the sire of one trotter, Ned H. Woodnut 2:18}. Mr. A. B. Rodman, of Woodland, has purchased all the horses in training owned by the late R. H. Nason, who died recently at that place. The horses pur- chased are Tubelina, a four-year-old daughter of Tuberose; a two-year-old stallion by Diablo out of Mischief, the dam of Tuberose; a two-year-old filly by Falrose, out of a mare by Tuberose, and Mischief 2:22}, dam of Tuberose2:25}, and other promising ones. W. P. Murray's trotting mare Italia 2:23} by Zom- bro, is working good. She is in Doc Tanner's stable and haB been a mile in 2:16}. She acts better than she ever has and iB about ready for a mile around 2:10 Those who have noticed her in her work are unanimous in the opinion that 6he is better now tban at any time since Mr. Murray brought her from Cali- fornia. She will probably go into Vance Nuckols' stable to be raced later in the season. Frank Turner stepped his young Sidney Dillons again at Santa Rosa last week and here are the re- sults. Carlocita, three-year-old pacer, mile in 2:20}, half in 1:05}, quarter in :31}. Guy Dillon, three-year- old trotter, mile in 2:34, half in 1:15, quarter in :33. Carrie Dillon, two-year old pacer, mile in 2:26, last quarter in 34 seconds. Kate Dillon, two-year-old pacer half in 1:08. Henry Parrity beat 2:30 with his two- year old Bravo Dillon, witti the last half in 1:11 and the last quarter In 35 Beconds. The Hulda Stables on Fell street, opposite the Park pan handle, is now under the management of John Martin, who is making it tbe most popular boarding stable in tbe city. The location cannot be surpassed for those who indulge in park driving, as no car tracks have to be crossed to reach the park and ocean drives. Among the fast roadsters stabled there now are Ero6- mont by Eros that has shown a mile In 2:15}, Mulcaby by Dexter Prince with a trial of 2:12}, John D , a green trotter, that has beaten 2:25 in his work and Billy G with a mark of 2:19}. The famous saddle horse Kentucky Prince, one of the best paited horses on the Coast, is also stabled there. Mr. Martin takes a pride in keeping all the horses under his care in perfect order. The Sonoma County Driving Club was permanently organized at Santa Rosa last week with 80 charter members. Tbe officers ^aTe P. H. Quinn, president; W. H. Lumsden, vice-president: H. A.

Nolan, Frank Bur- ris, C. O Dunbar. This club will hold matinee and regular race meetings and an active membership of 200 is predicted for it within a month. Henry Delaney having decided not to enter Zolcck. 2:05} in the free-for-all pace at the California State Fair meeting this year, that race should result in one of the greatest contests seen on this Coast for years While Zolock outclasses the other pacers on the Coast, there are four or five that can beat 2:07 tbat will enter, and that are so evenly matched that the winner will be very hard to pick The State Fair Directors are negotiating with Mr. Delaney for an ex- hibition mile by biB great horse, and there will be a big crowd to see him start against time. It is surmised that after the close of the Japanese- Russian war there may be quite a demand for Ameri- can-bred general purpose horses in those two coun- tries. The demand lr Japan is likely to be for horseB not above the medium in size, except, perhaps, such as the Japanese may want for breeding purposes. They are an enterprising, progressive class of peopJe there, and close imitators of American methods, so that it is not improbable that they may engage quite extensively in the breeding of high-class trotting stock as well as that for cavalry and general purpose use. The ranks of the sons of George WilkeB 2:22, are gradually depleting. The latest to join the great majo ity is Erie Wilkes, really one of the least success- ful of the get of his noted sire as a progenitor of speed . Heiscredited with only four standard performers, the fastest beiDg Polar Wilkes, p, 2:11}, and Turco, p, 2:12. But two of his sons have sired speed, and two of his daughters have each produced one. It was not exactly lack of opportunity, either, which accounts for his poor showing, be was a member of the Jewett farm stallions for a number of years He waB 23 years old. George Wilkes was 25 years old when he got Erie Wilkes. Old age did not avail much in this case. We regret to learn that Mr. T. J. Weeks, ono of the pioneer residents and horse breeders of Santa Cruz, died a few weeks ago at bis home there on the shores of the Pacific. Mr. Weeks bred and owned a number of good horses, among others tbat fast mare Ethel Downs 2: 10, well known to all horsemen in this State. He was one of the earliest residents of the now thriv- ing city of Santa Cruz, and owned a very handsome residence which occupied a commanding site on a hill close to the seashore and overlooking the city. He was a plain, unassuming gentleman, whose friends were as numerousas h's acquaintances, and washighly respected and honored for his sterling virtues and up- right life. An eastern exchange sayB: "Mr. Gee. E. Lattimer, of Buffalo, owns a full brother to The Abbott 2:03}, ex-champion trotter. The name of the young trotter is The Mitre Beaver. Mr. Lattimer owns one of the most extensiveprivatestables in Buffalo, and is classed among tbe crack amateur reinsmen of the country. He owns Charley Hayt 2:06}, Topsy 2:09} and others. At the Buffalo track, one morning last week, Charley Hayt 2:06} and Captain Derby 2:16} worked a mile together in 2:14}, last half in 1:04}, covering the third quarter in 31 seconds. Charley Hayt gives every promise of getting into form to beat his record this year, and Captain Derby, unless all Bigns fail, will take a record around 2:07 if all °oes well with him. He was bred at Oakwood Park Stock Farm and is by Charles Derby, out of Economy 2:30 by Echo." The former Buffalo trainer, George Bodimer, who hss been in Austria for several years, has opened the racing season there most successfully this year. He has captured tbe world's record for Austrian bred trotters with the filly Ama Z , and with the four-year- old colt Lord Revelstoke by Bingen, that he bought in this country last fall be won the great event of the Vienna spring meeting, the free-for-all heat race, re- ducing the chestnut colt'B record from 2:12} to 2:12} in the first heat of his race and again to 2:12} in the last heat. Lots of good judgeB thought Lord Revel- stoke would never lower his record after his scme- what unsatisfactory campaign of last season. Ama Z , Bodimer's champion Austrian bred trotter, Is from American bred parents, as she was sired by Caid 2:07}, dam Charmer, dam of Shadow Chimes 2:17} by Mam- brion King. Both her sire and dam are owned by Count Poticki, Bodimer's employer, and to the Buffalo boy belongs the credit of developing her. The affection displayed for his owner by Willard Zibbell's horse, Adam G. 2:14}, was truly touching when the handsome trotter was led out for the maimed and crippled young man to look at on the day of the benefit tendered Mr. Zibbell at tbe Fresno track. As our readers know Willard lost both hands, an arm and a leg in the frightful accident at Fresno, July 12th, and his marvelous vitality enabled him to be taken to the .track eleven days after, when the horsemen tendered him a benefit. He was conveyed to the track in Dr. Maupins' automobile, and his favorite horse was led out for his inspection. The young man spoke to him, when Adam G. immediately pricked up his ears, walked up to the vehicle and pressed his soft muzzle against his owner's cheek. It was an affecting scene, and tbe brave young man who never quailed at all tbe horrible mangling be had received, was visibly affected because he could not return the caress of his trotter with tbe pat of the hand that the horse evidently expected . July 29, 1905 1 <<e gvee&ev cmfr §p&xt#man M JOTTINGS. ffi THE RECORDS MADE on the California circuit thus far, have attracted the attention of horse- men all over the country, and one Eastern turf writer remarks that "the California owners who have been winning at Los Angeles and Fresno probably now wish they had entered on the Grand Circuit." This is a recognition of a fact which cannot he disputed, that many of the race winners on the Coast this sea- son have shown sufficient calibre to warrant the belief that they could win in their classes anywhere. No pacer in the country has shown four such miles to this date as the 2:06 and 2:06} at Los Angeles and two heats in 2:05} at Fresno which were paced by Zolock. That this son of McKinney could get his share of the money in the big ring over East is not for one moment doubted by those who have seen him race this year, and a record of 2:02 or better is certainly within his reach. No stronger finisher ever raced to the wire, and he can go as many heats to his limit as the next horse. While there is nothing but praise to be said of Zo- lock, the horse that drove him out in 2:05} the first heat at Fresno is al60 worthy of a few lines of com- mendation. This horse was the chestnut gelding Edwin S. 2:08, owned by Mr. E. A. Servis of Durham, Butte county. In that memorable heat Edwin S. did not get off well and was interfered with at the first turn, which necessitated his being taken back and around the other horses. He had to take the over- land route the first quarter of a mile, but by the time the half was reached he was straightened away and from the head of the stretch the struggle between him and Zolock will long be remembered by those who Baw it. It was such an exciting finish that the crowd in the grand stand rose and cheered the contestants, and Edwin was only beaten a head in one of theclosest and best contests ever seen. His mile was doubtless as good or better than 2:05, and many are of the opinion it was as good as 2:044. It is a great pity the fastest class made for pacers at the Santa Rosa meet- ing was the 2:09 class, as that barred the entry of Edwin S., and he was the one that could doubtless have made Zolock lower his Fresno record to win. In this connection it will be in order at this time to correct a slight mistake In the previous published accounts of the breeding of Edwin S. He is by the i registered stallion Doctor Hicks 23103, son of Durfee 11256 and Gazelle by Buccaneer. His dam has hereto- fore been erroneously given us by La Harpe 2:17}, son of Egmont. She was by a horBe called La Harpe, t is true, but the son of Egmont is not the one. La Harpe, sire of the dam of Edwin S , was bred by the late Dr. Hicks, and was a bronze bay horse, with two iwhite stockings behind, and star, weighed close to 1200 pounds and stood 10 hands. He was foaled in 1879, and sired by Fame, a son of Belmont 64, the sire of Nutwood. La Harpe's dam was Prairie Bird 2:28J, the dam of Prompter, and was by Flaxtail. If California had a circuit of eight or ten weeks harness racing every summer it would not be a year until 2:05 would be equalled or beaten every year in the pacing events, and three or four new 2:10 tro'.ting records would be made annually. This would be of vast value to the breeding industry and add many dollars to the wealth of the State. Harness racing is the sport of the masses of horse owners and breeders. In spite of the fact that the speculative portion of the community prefers the run- ners, harness racing is as popular as ever. Meetings are well attended wherever they are given and if properly managed do not show a loss. In the Eastern and Middle states thousands of harness meetings are held annually. Last week's Western Horseman, pub- lished in Indianapolis, calls attention to the fact that the issue contains the advertisements of over one hundred and thirty harness race meetings. The popularity of the Grand Circuit is increasing every year, and a big profitable price can be obtained for a good trotter or pacer with race winning speed or first class road qualities. People who are always saying that harness racing is getting unpopular don't know what they are talking about. It is just as popular a sport and more so than it ever was. The lack of meetings is no evidence of its unpopularity, but only evidence that the owners of tracks are not enterprising. The opening of the Grand Circuit at Detroit has been very successful, and some good racing has been done under the every-heat-a-race plan. Up to and including Thursday's races thirty-Bix heat6 had been ! trotted or paced iu the twelve races decided, and not one heat was as slow as 2:15. No less than 26 of these heats were in 2:10 or better, the fastest pacing heat being Locanda's 2:05 and the fastest trotting heat' Dr. Strong's 2:06. The California horses have not been taking as many first moneys as usual, which is not surprising to horsemen here on the coast as the class of horses starting at the early meetings this year is not quite up to our usual consignment to the Grand Circuit opening. Later in the year we expect quite a number of new fast performers from California will be drawing down" the big end of many Grand Circuit purses; » Windsor Results. Racing at Hilo. TUESDAY, JULY 18.

Mr. R. A. Rouse of Danville, Illinois, and his trainer Geo. J. Foster, at the Indianapolis track, have authorized the statement that they desire to match the two-year-old chestnut pacing filly by John R. Gentry 2:00J, dam Onoqua 2:08} by Keeler, against any pacing two-year-old In the world, either sex, mile heats, best two in three, for $2500 a side, $100u a side to go up when match is made, 81000 in thirty days thereafter, and $500 the evening before the race, "play or pay, " from start to finish, the race to take place over the Columbus or Cincinnati track, at the Grand Circuit meeting, or at Lexington or Memphis, during the fall trots, the accepting party to have the naming of which of these tracks. This announcement was made in the last isBue of the Western Horseman Here Is a chance for the California pacer Rockaway that took a record of 2:15} at Los Angeles recently to get a match, and if it were made considerable California money would be put up that he would win. The Fourth of July was celebrated at Hilo, Hawaii, by a good program of racing, and although it rained and the track was very muddy the crowd was large and well pleased with the day's spurt. The main event on the program, which was a race at a mile and a quarter between The Fretter," Bruner and Merrills Force, had to be declared off on account of an accident to The Fretter, whose leg was injured' so that he was very lame. The only harness event was won by the old pacer John D. that was racing ten or twelve years ago at San Jose under the name of Tony. The summary of the races is as follows: One mile-Egyptian Princess won, G. H. R. second, Merrills Force third. Time, 1:54 •Six furlongs— Antidote won, If Not second, Why Not third. Time, 1:35. Four and a half furlongs— Keanakolu won, Nigger second, Sweet Pea third. Time, :59J. - Four furlongs-G H. R. won, Antidote second, If Not third. Time, :55}. One mile— Egyptian PrinceBB won, Bruner second, Dixie Land third. Time, 1:53. Five and a half furlongs— Bruner won, Egyptian Princess second, So So third. Time, 1:224. Pacing, best two in three— John D'. (formerly Tony) won first and third heats. Second heat was a dead heat between John D. and Ned McGowan. Nazon was distanced in first heat. Time— 2:47, 2:58, 2:55. Racing at Wailuku, Maui. A very successful Fourth of July meeting was held at Wailuku which is on Maui, one of the Hawaiian Islands. The results were: Half-mile dash— Racery, won; Gefaldine S., second. Trotting and pacing, free-for-all— Cyclone, won. Mile dash— Racine Murphy, won; Notice, second. Trotting and pacing, 2:15 class— Denny Healey, won. Trotting and pacing, three-minute class— Silvertop, won. Gentlemen's driving race — Abdine, won; McKinley, second. Six furlongs dash— Racery, won; Racine Murphy second; Notice, third. There will be another meeting at Wailuku on August 12. GeorgeS. McKenzie, owner of Nullah, Oriana and others, i9 there on a visit and may buy Bruner and bring him to the Coast. The horse was shipped there with a consignment of hack horses and has won races at all kinds of distances. Third Contest lor the Cleveland Cup. The Directors of the League of Amateur Driving Clubs have awarded to the Gentlemen's Driving Club of Cleveland the days of August 31st and September 1st on which to bold their Inter-City Matinee. At this time the third contest for the $5000 Cleveland Gold Cup (Amateur Drivers' Challenge Trophy), will beheld. The Cleveland Club has won this cup twice and should they >vin it again this year it will pass into their possession permanently. Any amateur club of recognized standing (not of necessity a member of the League) may challenge for this cup, and as many horses belonging to one club as is desired are eligible to start, though no owner may start more than one horse. Horses to be eligible to start for this cup must have started in at least two regular matinees during the year, and must not have participated in public racing for money for thirty days prior to the holding of this race. Entries for this cup race will close Mon- day, August 31st. The Cleveland Club will also offer a cup for free-to-all pacers, entries for which will close on the same day. There are no conditions governing entries for this cup except that it is open only for horses owned by members of those clubs in member- ship with the League of Amateur Driving Clubs. That wonderful little mare, The Broncho, paced two great heats over the Chicago half. mile track, July 15. There was but one other starter in the free- for-all pace, the mare Citation. Owing to Citation being hitched too close to the sulky, which made her hit her hocks, she could not show any speed, so The Broncho won the first heat in a jog in 2:20}. Citation was hooked up all right in the next heat and The Broncho bad to break the Illinois record to win. She paced the heat in 2:00^ and made the mile in the third heat in the same time. No other horse ever paced so fast over an Illinois half-mile track in a race, and Hetty G. is the only mare that has beaten the time on a track of that description.

Pertinent Facts About Salmon. The board of supervisors of San Benito county have passed Ordinance 87, repealing all game laws hereto- fore enacted in the county. This brings the county under the operation of the State law. The open sea- son on deerln this district was, previous to the passing of the repealing law, from August 1 to October 1. [By J. P. Babcock.] The sockeye salmon which are captured in Puget Sound are enroute from the Pacific ocean to the head- waters of the Fraser river, and do not enter any stream in the state of Washington which is tributary to Puget Sound, save those which enter the Skagit river, and those which enter that river appear to run earlier and independently of those that run to the Fraser river. The sockeye which attempt to run through Puget Sound were propagated in the Fraser river, and are seeking to return for the purpose of propagation. They do not breed or feed in Puget Sound. The run of sockeye of a given year in Puget Sound depends primarily upon the number which spawn in the Fraser river the preceding year. For the past three years the catch shows a steady and alarming decrease. This year's catch was the smallest in. the history of the industry. The decrease is due to a failure of the fish to run as abundantly as formerly, and not to any fault or method or lack of effort to capture them. The demand and the price paid for-the fish during the past two years has been greater than ever before. Every channel of Puget Sound through which the sockeye seek entrance to the Fraser river is lined with stationary traps. Every known contrivance by which salmon can be taken is permitted and used in Puget Sound. There are no limitations as to time or method in their taking. There are no closed seasons during any part of the time the sockeye run. No law has ever been passed by the state of Washington for the protection of the sockeye in Puget Sound. A greater proportion of the total number of sockeye which seek entrance to the Fraser river through Puget Sound are captured now than formerly. Those that do escape p-ss into British waters, and cannot enter the Fraser river without doing so. "In British waters they cannot be fished for previous to July 1. The law prohibits their being caught there between 6 a. m. of every Saturday and 6 p. m. of the following day, and during the past year they could not be fished for from August 25 to September 15. Traps have nevei been used in British waters tribu- tary to Puget Sound for the capture of sockeye; only gill nets are permitted to be used. No traps, with the exception of those in Boundary Bay, have been permitted in British waters until this year, when two traps were placed on the south coast *of Vancouver Island in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, and thesetraps could not and did not catch any fish which escaped capture in Puget Sound. My inspection of the entire spawning grounds of the Fraser watershed in each of the last four seasons has been thorough and complete. In 1901, the year of the big run, great numbers of sockeye spawned in every section, with the exception of Quesnel Lake district, from which a large number were excluded by a dam, at the outlet of the lake, which was then provided with an effective fishway. In each of the last three years fully 75 per cent of the same spawning beds were almost barren of adult sockeye, and the remaining sections were not abundently covered with them, and their numbers have been noticeably less each year. There has not been sufficient ova deposited in the Fraser river during the past three years to produce a' number equal to the runs of those years. There were two hatcheries located on the Fraser river prior to 1901 that had an egg capacity of twenty millions, and they were filled with eggs that year. In 1902, through a failure of the fish to reach the spawn- ing grounds, the total collection of eggs for these two hatcheries was less than fourteen million. In 1903 an additional hatchery of forty million egg capacity was constructed on the Fraser river, and yet the total number of eggs obtained at all three hatch- eries that year was less than fourteen million. This past year, although a new hatchery was established and operated, the total collection of eggs was 25 per cent less than last year. There are hatcherieB on the Fraser river that have a capacity of ninety millions of eggs. The failure to fill them was due to a scarcity of fish on the spawning beds, and not to any lack of intelligent effort to obtain eggs. My field investigations on the Fraser river have satisfied me that an abundance of young sockeye, the product of the spawning of 1901, passed down the river to the sea in 1902 and 1903, and that the past season the same fyke nets which I placed in the river to trace this movement failed to catch enough young salmon to feed a bluejay, which I take to indicate that there was little or no seaward migration this year. The fyke nets which I had used in the Wannack river, at the head of Rivers Inlet, this year were set in the same manner as those in the Fraser river, and caught hundreds of youngsockeyeday after day for the three months they were used. The decrease in the catch of sockeye in Puget Sound and the empty spawning grounds iB attributable to excessive fishing in the past and at present. The decrease cannot be explained in any other reasonable way. The continuance of the present methods and seasons in Puget Sound and British Columbia will re- Bult in the extermination of the sookeye in the Fraser river. It is not at all probable TfEat the number of fish would have become so depleted if the State: of Washington had given them the same measure, of protection as that was afforded them in British waters. Many of the leading cannery companies on both sides of the line would not now be in the hands-qf jreeaiv4rB if the salmon had been better protected. ^AHSne canneries will be closed and the fishermen driven from these waters in the near future if the present excesses are continued. Such measures of protection as would have permitted an abundant number of. sockeye to reach the spawning grounds of the Fraser before their numbers had become so depleted, will net be adequate now. A sufficient number of sockeye reached the spawn- ing grounds in 1901, notwithstanding the existing regulations in British Columbia, and without any regulation in Washington, because the fish ran in such vast numbers that thecanneries could not handle all the fish that- the traps and the fishermen caught in a few hours each day. Consequently, the channels of the Sound and the river were not blocked all the time. The canneries exhausted their supply of cans before tharun was over, which put a stop to fishing, and permitted all the salmon that came afterwards to ascend the river. The reverse of these conditions have obtained for the last three years, which proves that regulations that are adequate for the year of the "big run" will be in. dequate in the three following years of poor runs. It is a matter of history that excessive fishing and inadequate regulations reduce the run of salmon in the Sacramento river. The canners and fisherman of the Sacramento by their protests and influence pre- vented the passage of adequate protective laws as long as they could make a living by catching the salmon in that river. The salmon were finally eo nearly exterminated in the Sacramento river that the canneries were closed and a majority of the fishermen were driven from the river; and from excessive fishing . the hatcheries were unable to obtain sufficient eggs and were closed for four years. An efficient protective law was passed in 1894 which closed the river to fish- ing during the height of the run, and hatching opera- tions were resumed. The hatcheries produced fully 80 per cent more fry irom the eggs obtained than would have resulted from natural methods of propa- gation. The run of salmon since the passage of wise laws and the resumption of hatchery operations, has gradually increased, slowly at first, but steadily, year after year, and is now as great as it ever was. Hatchery after hatchery has been established since 1894 and this year they were unable to handle all the eggs obtainable. Mr. Alexander T. Vogelsang, a prominent attorney of San Francisco, who was for six years the president of the Board of Fish Commissioners of the State of California, wrote me on the 23d of last November con- cerning the situation on the Sacramento river, as follows: "I have read in the Pacific Fisherman for November the statement of the hatchery affair3 under your jurisdiction on the Fraser river, and am sorry to learn that the results at the spawn-collecting stations are so meagre. I notice, too, that the take of eggs on the Columbia river iB also very small. Of course, you can't obtain eggs if the fish are not permitted to ascend the river. Things are very different in California. Davis and Lambson think that never in the history of the white occupation of the State has the run of salmon been so large as this year. It has increased regularly every year for the past ten. t have just seen a letter from Lambson to the board in which he states he is forced to close the Mill Creek station on account of lack of room to hold eggs. He has taken thirty million there, and says he could have taken sixty million if he had ample accommodations. The take of eggs at Battle Creek hatchery has passed the thirty million mark, and they will reach, if they do not pass, your own mark of forty-eight million, at that station. Although the capacity of the Sisson hatchery has been greatly enlarged, Mr. Sheiby fears he cannot handle all the eggs obtainable. Baird hatchery has taken over eleven millions and was closed for lack of room. Contrast these conditions with the years when the latter was the only hatchery on the river and was closed for four years for lack of eggs. Undoubtedly this is the result of our efforts. Salmon are being shipped to the markets today from Clarksburg, and they are spawning on every riffle from Chico north. No one has ever seen them so large or so numerous as now. Breeding from large males only has wrought the former condition as we expected. The Oregon, Washington and British Columbia people should 'get next to themselves' and their fish, or else there will be a period often years or more of inactivity in their salmon business, as there was in ours." These facts are worthy the careful consideration of every one interested in the salmon industry. What was accomplished on the Sacramento river can be duplicated on the Fraser by the adoption of the same means there adopted, to-wit, adequate protection of the fish on the fishing and spawning grounds, and honest and intelligent operation of the hatcheries. And it cannot be accomplished in any other way, and the sooner the fishery interests appreciate this the sooner they will cease" operating at a loss, and place the industry on a profitable and lasting basis. The Sacramento Board of Supervisors have in- structed Game, Warden Neale to have the fish in the Schulmeyer pond, near the City Cemetery, seined out and placed in the river. The pond is full of black bass that are dying by thousands. It will cost more to bury the dead fish than it will to have them removed and placed in the Sacramento river. These bass, and plentiful and large they are, were left in the pond when the water lowered and could not get back to the stream. • Strikel— if they don't give youJackson s Napa Soda wberyouask for it. JULY 29, 1905 J AT THE TRAPS. The Millwood Gun Club monthly shoot is the pro- gram tomorrow for local shotgun devotees. A big shoot is on for Santa Rosatomorrow, Several local sportsmen will attend. The Napa, Woodland, St. Helena, Sebastopol, Petaluma and Vallejo repre- sentation will be a large one. Among the features of the day will be an exhibition of rifle marksmanship by Prank L. Carter one of the most skillful rifle experts in the country. __ The Lincoln Gun Club live bird shoot and picnic at Reclamation on August 24th will be well worth while attending. The main pigeon events will be a 12 bird shoot, entrance SI. 75, the price of the birds; side pool optional, and ateam shoot, 12 birds per man, entrance SI. 75. Side pool. The shoot will be under the supervision of Edgar L. Forster and this is a guarantee that the function will be a success in every way. Among other things there will be a good lunch spread, enough for all and fjee of expense to those present. The 8 or 9:30 a, m. boat via.'Cal. Northwestern Railway is the route. Teams will meet the shooters at Reclamation station. An open to all blue rock tournament is scheduled for August 13th at the Hunter's Inn, San Leandro. The majority of shooters will take the 9:40 Oakland qoat, thence by electric cars to San Leandro where Mine Host Ravekes will meet the sportsmen and- con- vey them to and from the grounds, free of charge. A good shooting program has been arranged. A "clam bake," "barbecue" and "bull's head" breakfast is the appetizing combination which will _be provided for the inner man and will be served free of charge to the visiting shooters and their friends. The Hunter's Inn is famous for its good cheer and '.hospitality and will on this occasion be well attended by a large contingent of sportsmen. The inter-club shoot at Flosden Station, on the Vallejo Gun Club grounds, was attended by a large turnout of shooters, at least 75 guns taking part in "the various events. San Francisco's representation i '.was strong: being about 50% of the shooters partici- pating. The main event, a five man team shoot, brought ten teams on the firing line — Golden Gate, Vallejo, two teams each; Union, three teams; Empire, Santa Rosa and 'Napa Gun Clubs, one team each. The race was unfortunately delayed until rather late in the day, the electric car service being to blame for the delay. The result of the shoot was a tie between Golden Gate No. 1 and the Santa Rosa team— each squad scoring a total of 113, losing but 12 targets, a very clever show- ing.' The Santa Rosa club shooters tied as strong a squad as could be sent to the traps in this city. It looked at one time as if the double G men would win. ■ Every man in the squad broke his last bird but Golcher, who dusted his 25th target, "Wilson" closed ! with a break. It was clearly a case of shooter's luck, the dusted target getting through the pattern The Santa Rosa team shot remarkably well, Hesse, Guilt- nan and Monroe are a hard trio to beat. Frank L. Carter shot in good form losing but one bird, the nintb. "Tom" Lewis is coming to the front rapidly, his string or 20 targets being well centered. The tie shoot off will probably take place some time in September. Vallejo team No. 1 is a strong shooting squad and were" but four birds behind the winning teams. The winners in the side pool, high guns, one money for each tbree entries were: "Wilson," Ed Schultz, W. Chappell, C. Drake, F. W.Hesse, Jr., and E. Klevesahl. The winners in a 25 target race were: George Sylves- ter, Len Hawxhurst and C. T. Mitchell. Too much cannot be said in Draise of the Vallejo "Gun Club members who strove in many ways to entertain and look after the many visitors, and their ladies, from San Francisco, Napa, Santa Rosa, St. Helena, Woodland and other points. The scores in the team event follow: Five-man team trophy race, 25 targets per man; $1 entrance per man, side pool optional; SI entrance, high guns; one money for each three entries; 16 yards: Santa Rosa- Hesse Jr 11111 11011 11111 11111 Oltll— 23 Quiltnan 11110 11111 1 1 111 11011 11111—23 Monroe 11101 mil 10111 11111 11111—23 Carter, F.

Total 146 The sport of trap Bhooting, we are pleased to note, is being revived in Stockton, where the the traps had become rusted after being unused for several seasons. The Stockton club for a long period had been a promi- nent organization at many tournaments. Unless we are greatly mistaken the tournament held at Stockton in 1897 is the record gathering of Coast trap shooters. On the 16th inst. the club's first live bird shoot for this season took place. A number of the old timers were on hand and had their "shooting eye" in good form. In the preliminary blue roek events "Charlie" Merrill was high gun. The live bird races were all six bird events, S2 entrance, high guns, two moneys, 60% and 40%. Ties divided. The scores were: First race— Johnson 6, Ellis 6, Dentoni 4, F. Merrill 4, Fuller 5.

Probably few fishermeD are aware that fly-fishing dates back to classic times. A minute description of the artificial fly as used by Macedonian anglers is given by Aelian, a Greek writer of the third century A. D., as follows: J "Between Berea and Thessalonica there flows a river, Astraeus by name, and there are in it fishes of a spotted color, but by what name people of those parts call them it is better to ask Macedonians At any rate these fish live upon the native flies which fall into the river and are like no flies of any other part- one would neither call them wasplike in appearance nor would one reply to a question that this creature iB formed like what we call the bumble bees, nor yet like the honey bees themselves. It has really the proper fashion of each of the above. In audacity it is like the By, in size it might be called a bumble bee in color it rivals the wasp and it buzzes like the honev bees. All common creatures of this sort are called horse tails. These pitch upon the stream to seek the food they effect, but cannot help being seen by the fish which swim undernsath. "So whenever one of them sees the fly floating he comes softly, swimming under the water, afraid of dis- turbing the surface and so scaring away his game. Then he comes near the shady side of the fly, gapes and sucks him in, just like a wolf snatching a sheep from the fold or an eagle a goose from the yard. This done, he disappears beneath the ripple. The fisher- men understand these maneuvers, but they do- not make any use of theae flies for a bait for the fish, for if the human hand lays hold of them they lose their natural color, their wings fray and they become un- eatable to the fish. So for this reason they make no use of them, disliking them because their nature for- bids their capture. "So with angling craftthey outwit the fish, devising a sort of lure against them. They lap a lock of reddish wool around the hook, and to the wool two cock's feathers which grow under the wattles, and are brought to the proper color with wax. The rod is from 6 to 10 feet long and the horsehair line has the same length. They lower the lure. The fish is attracted by the color, excited, draws close and, judg- ing from its beautiful appearance that it will obtain a marvelous banquet, forthwith opens its mouth, but is caught by the hook, and bitter indeed is the feast it has, inasmuch as it is captured." SIERRA TEOUTBJG. A trip to the Sierra lake region at this time of the year is full of most enjoyable angling possibilities ac- cording to Mr. Al M. Gumming, who recently returned from tnat almost enchanted region after a visit of nearly four weeks during which trip he was ac- companied by Mrs. Cumming. Leaving this city on June 21st, they went first to Webber lake. From there trips were made to Fordyce lake, White Rock, Jackson and Webber creeks. In all of these waters the fishing was first class. The killing lures were: black bodied royal coachman, royal coachman, March brown, brown hackle, grizzly king, black and red ants, tied on Nos. 8 and 10 sproats. The spoon for that country is the brass and silver La Forge No. 1. Recent reports are that the fish are taking the fly in Webber lake, Fordyce and White Rock creeks in fine style. Many large Loch Leven trout have been taken in Webber lake this season. These fish have to be worked for, however, for it is hard to get tbem to notice the usual lures, there being a most plentiful supply of minnow feed for the big trout in the lake. From the Webber lake region the two anglers journeyed to Bassett's. Among the guests at the latter place they met Prof. Flagg, of Berkeley, Mr. Flagg, Sr., Fred W. Koch and wife. From Bassett's they fished the north fork of the Yuba, Chapman, Lincoln, Packer and Salmon creeks, Upper Sardine lake, the three Salmon lakes, the three Bear lakes and Long lake, first class fly-fishing for rainbow trout was found everywhere. The fishiDg at and about Bassett's will continue good until ice gathers in the early Sierra winter. In 20 days' fishing, Mr. Cumming missed the limit but twice, 20 boxes of fine trout sent out to friends attested the sport to be found with rod and line in in this inviting mountain region. Among other things Mr. Cummings noted that the mountain quail shooting season in that region should oe excellent this year. A light winter was favorable to the breeding season and the birds were enabled to go to the higher places earlier than usual. The young were hatched and raised before the sheep got In this season and both old birds and their wellgrown broods went up to their regular feeding ground and are more plentiful this year than ever before. The grouse of that region have about become ex- terminated, the bag limit of 25 is too strong for the visible supply. The work of the gun ie helped by the sheep, who feed and trample over every square foot of the country in which the birds breed, and destroy many nests of eggs and young hatched birds. The close season on snipe should be the salvation of the English snipe of that section, Sierra valley being a breeding ground for them. October loth when the season opens is pretty late for good snipe shooting up there, in consequence the birds breed and propagate unmolested and find their way to lower shooting grounds in the open season. MONTEREY BAY FISHING. O. A. Hale, of San Jose, who has been making many records at the Santa Cruz fishing grounds this season, "out-Haled Hale" on the 20th inst. by bringing In the finest catch that has been recorded since the salmon began to run this year. Twenty-seven salmon, three yellowtall and one rock cod was the result of a few hours' trolling in the morning. 'The yellowtall," said Mr. Hale, "fought bard, the 20-pound one 10 er ani* &p0vts>n\ax\ [JULY 29, 1905 putting up a tussle that would do credit to a 50 pouDd S*Tbe vellowtail are seldom oaugbt at Santa Cruz, Catalina being more famous (or this game fish than any place on the Coast. George Owen of San Jose was with Mr Hale and enjoyed the sport of seeing the yellowtail landed. . Nelson and Warren French on the same morning were trolling 08 Pacific Grove; one of the boys hooked a 35 pound halibut, which pulled so hard the boy though he had a shark on, and with considerable difficulty he finally landed the fish. A number of salmon were also caught ON THE TRUCKEE. Flv-tishin" ou the Truckee, above Boca, is reported to be excellent at present and is being enjoyed by a number of anglers. Carlos G. Young, Mr. McNaugh- ton, Achille Koos, Frank Lacoste, J. S. Turner and W. E. Murdock were among the recent visitors to that famous resort. , Col. Young states the blue upright was an exceed- ingly good fly while he was fishing there. To get into good water the angler must go about four miles above Boca, for the Prosser creek dam is being cleaned out and the river below will probably be roily until tbe end of September. BA8S FISHING. Striped bass fishing is remarkably backward this year, but few fish being landed at any of the favorite resorts. In fact, in some heretofore good fishing grounds there has not been a bass taken for a long time past. A report was current during tbe week that a few bass had been caught at San O.uentin point, one being a 20-pounder Several large fish were taken in Lake Merritt dur- ing the week. One, a 12-pounder, was hooked by Chas. Breidenstein on Thursday night. Geo. Went- worth hooked a J2J-pound fish Fiiday night. Results generally, however, are not encouraging and the aver- age run of fish landed are small ones. A few bass have been recently taken at Baker's beach. The bass caught there are generally of fair size, a 12 pounder being the weight of a recent capture. San Pablo bay is a lottery so far as striped . bass is concerned. Some days tbe fish are running nicely, at other times they are non est. Some fair catches, among the fish taken being a few 6 and 7 pound bass, have rewarded recent trips of anglers to San Pablo. NEW BLACK BASS RESOBT. Some four or five years ago Alta lake or rather reservoir, near Towles on the Southern Pacific line of road, in Placer county, was stocked with black bass fry. The lake has evidently proven a congenial habitat for the fish, for they have prospered and in- creased to a remarkable extent. So well have the fish flourished that the lake was opened to anglers this season. Mr. Volberg, of this city, recently enjoyed some lively sport with the Alta lake bass. He found, when he was there, that the most effective lure was trolling a live grasshopper on a No. 6 hook. One fish he caught weighed 51 pounds. He reports that the water is full of big black bass, and that he observed, near the sheltering fronds of the aquatic vegetation, thousands of young fry, shep- herded by the old fish and guarded against the maws of catfish prowling about for black bass tidbits. From all indications, our anglers will io the near future have black bass fishing galore, for both the large and small-mouthed varieties seem to flourish in every water of the state where they have been placed. Black bass fishing at many points on the Sacra- mento river is reported to be excellent. Not long ago a large mouth black bass weighing nearly five pounds was taken near Redding. Black bass are also plenti- ful in the river hear Oroville, as are their cousins of the stripad variety In fact, both species of the bass family flourish in the Sacramento. At the mouth of Mark West creek black bass are plentiful. A number of fair-sized fish have been caught recently, A notable angling trip was that er joyed early this month by Mr. Bruce Cornwall when he fished in the vicinity of Kamloops, B. C. A big 7 pound rainbow Bent to this city,' frozen in a huge block of ice, was a pleasing reminder to many anglers of good 6port on the northern streams. DOINGS IN DOGDOM. SANTA CRUZ SHOW. We are Informed that the membership list of the recently organized Santa Cruz Kennel Club now reaohes the seventy mark, comprised of the leading and most Influential citizens of that delightful and popular seaside city. Further, that for the coming three-day show in September, tbe Casino manage- ment will donate $1000 worth of cups and prizes, this generous contribution will be enhanced by a sub- stantial recognition from the railroad. An Eastern judge will be invited to come out here and judge the show, we were Informed. Rumor, this week, well founded wo are inclined to believe, giveB out Harry W. Lacy, of Boston, as the judge selected. Mr. Lacy has judged here three times, twice anyhow, and has given satisfaction to exhibitors and spectators alike, and, boing possessed of a pleasing and congenial personality, has made a number of friends, We be- lieve the securing of Mr. Lacy to preside over the seaside ring will be a drawing card. The fancy's Interests In Santa Cruz county has taken a booming and upward tendency and we wish them every success and will second their efforts with- out stint. OBITER UlllTl'M. "The novice olass shall be for American-bred dogs only, never having won a first prize at any recognized show, wins In the pjppy olass excepted." This simple announcement in the American Kennel Gazelle, which is the official organ of the American Kennel Club, is of far reaching importance, says the Boston Herafd. The above ruling goes into effect on August 1, and it is generally agreed among members of the fancy that it is one of the best decisions ever madeby tbegovern- Ing body of American dogdom. Its effect will be felt more particularly at the big shows in Madison Square Garden, New York, Mechanics' buildiDg, Boston, and at the Chicago dog show, as it is at these shows that the foreign-bred cracks have hitherto made their annual appearance in America. These foreign-bred dogs, imported at long prices, have as a rule won honors enough in England to entitle them to an American championship, yet they were allowed to enter in the novice with American- bred dogs that had never faced a judge. Whils this was all very nice for ihe gentlemen who picked up easy money by selling imported dogs at fancy prices to American exhibitors, it was unjust to the American breeder to compel him to enter a novice against a famous English bench show winner. It must be borne in mind that it is a much more difficult matter to obtain a championship in Great Britain t .n,a it is| in the United States. Over here all that is necessary for a dog to beoome a champion is to have him win an aggregaieof 10 points in compe- tition in the winners' class at different Bhows. In England, however, a dog must win his full champion- shin title by winning threechampionships undertime different judges. The 2-leraM's kennel contributor also has the fol- lowing pertinent matter. If the writer is the well known Boston kennel authority, whom we believe he is, we must congratulate him for having the courage of his convictions, for he strikes straight from the Bhoulder. But, really now, we never thought it would come that way, more's the value of it. He writes: Trading in foreign-bred dogs has been a very profit able investment for some of the English judges, who come to America as guests of kennel olubs and inci- dentally as salesmen, for English judges have a jolly good time, socially and financially, out of American dog shows. They are looked upon as the fountain heads from from -vhich all knowledge flows in dogdom. Every year before the New York dog show begins one hears of British dogs, mostly Fox Terriers or Bull- dogs, being imported at fabulous prices, and later on the English judges appear on the scene and make tbe awards. In the mean time the American breeder is doing his level best to breed true to tbe type, but, no matter how well he succeeds, the English judges comes along, and, often complimenting the honest American fancier, will finally turn him down by saying "Your dog has very good conformation, but he is rather light in bone, and it is really too bad." A young Yale student who was up against this kind of jollying for a number of years, finally decided to call the English bluff, and he has done it in a manner that has opened the eyes of more than one American breeder. Joseph B Thomas, Jr , had a hobby for RussiaD Wolfhounds, and, after he had oue or two gold brickB loaded on him from England, brought over the very best dogs that money could purchase, and he is now successfully breeding them. Some day the fanciers in other breeds may wake up to the fact that they have been buncoed for years. There are various kinds of graft, but the smooth English judge haB such a chirming way of rubbing it in that his American customers feel that It is quite an honor to be done up brown. In the future, however, the imported dogs will not be especially favored, as they have been in the past, when they line up against American-bred bow-wows. In tbe novice classes the American breds will now have a "square deal," but the foreign judges will still have ample opportunity to bestow favors on the imported article. amateur average, 561 out of 600, shooting "NewE C~" (Improved).

While the echoes of the Grand American Handicap may have died away, Parker Bros, want to call the attention of the shooting fraternity to the perform- ance of Mr. John A. Flick, of Ravenna, O., a one- armed shooter who scored with the Parker gun, 97 out of a possible 100, at this famous shoot. The Parker gun also made some other very good records at the shoot, winning the World's Team Race with a total of 474 out of 500, and four Parkers out of five shooters in this event. The Consolation Handicap was also won with the Parker gun in the bands of Mr. J T. Atkinson, tying on 99, and shooting out his opponent. Ac Waynesboro, Va , on July 4, Mr. C. H. New- comb, of Philadelphia, strictly an amateur, won high amateur average, and at Richmond, Va , on Decora- tion Day, also won high amateur average. At New London, la., which is quite a shooting center, It may be interesting to sportsmen to know that tbe three handicap events held during their last tournament were all won with the Parker gun. Barton, of Chicago, and Gilbert and Garrett all tied on 50 straight, Barton breaking 100 straight to win the event. The spcond day handicap was won by John Burmeister, with 50 straight, and tbe third day handicap was won by Fred Gilbert with 50 straight. All of the handicap events were won with the "Old Reliable" Parker in the hands of amateurs in two cases. In three days' shootirg, the "Old Reliable" Parker made scores of 200 straight, which is a re- markable perfoimance. and proves conclusively ibe reliability and effectiveness of the famous "Old Reliable."

It is well known that cer- lin of the Hambletonian strains show much more of ty be carriage type than others, and it is probably a -' tot, though one impossible of demonstration, that .1 he most of the best heavy harness horses so far pro- i uced in the trotting breed have sprung from these ! ribeE or from them in union with a few others that f ave become merged mostly in the Hambletonian, J jch tribes as the Royal Georges, Forests, Morgans parted; while we want this and perhaps more, we want it all so that we may be aided not combated by heredity. In fact, we want and must hive the assist- ance of the carriage strains in the trotter. It Btands well to the reason of any thinking man that if we have these aids we must have laid a good foundation for Victory. Plenty 'of" men still think and some blatantly avow that the racing trotter is the only source from which to draw our heavy harness horses. Such men going into a ring to judge trotting stallions for the purposes under discussion will not advance the cause they champion so loudly. Under their mistaken rule we must remain exactly where we are now or retrograde. On the contrary, let the men who are chosen to pass on such classes set aside the strict trotting type alto- gether and select that which is wanted for heavy leather as nearly as possible, and with proper intelli- gent selection we shall have in time a carriage horse producing strain of the trotting breed.

When corn has failed, it is a good plan to plant peas. Three pecks to the acre may be used. It pays to have everything convenient. It saves in time and effort, and that really saves money. It is no small art to be able to cut and dry hay just right. Some cut too late, and the hay is too woody. The best time to cut alfalfa iB when it is beginning to bloom. Fields are usually uniform and may be cut when about one tenth of the flowers are in bloom. It pays to go to conventions. To hear a great man talk, or to talk with one for an hour, may lead to successful plans which will affect our whole lives. When the crop has commenced to grow, shallow cultivation should be adopted, so as to kill the weeds and encourage moisture. This can hardly be overdone. During the summer no one works harder than the farmer. He needs some recrea- tion and Bhould plan so that his evenings may be as long as possible and as free from care. When ground has been packed by heavy rain, it is necessary to cultivate it a little deeper than usual, at first, so as to J loosen the soil and vitalize by letting in the air. Late cultivation should ahvayB be shallow. There is a general sentiment that if a man's horae or cow goes estray, his neighbor's shall help him to get it back. Should not this also apply to his son or daughter, if they are going wrong, friends and neighbors should help them get right The secret of shocking hay, or of stack- ing it, is to keep it highest in the middle. Let the first fork full be heaped up, and shock the hay on that. A good stack Is built on the same principle. If the water soaks in a few inches it will drain and dry out. While harvesting it pays to keep up with ones work. Hay should le cut down, dried and handled as little ae possible. Rain, or dew spoils the color, and while a email amount does not effect the nutritious value, it Bpoils the color, and the price. The mower should be started in the morning, the hay raked into windows and put into small shocks the same day, even if it is necessary to open them the next day.— Texas Farmer Charcoal as a Food for Poultry. Whenever the word charcoal appears one looks impulsively to the results obtained by its use. Charcoal is a cleaner and purifier. That has always been its chief qualification and its use among poultry will invariably be manifested in bright red combs and wattles, and a sprightly demeanor among the fowls. Utilized ae a deodorizer its value cannot be overestimated. Charcoal has been made use of years with telling effect in the food for poultry.

' Soft Bhelled eggs come occasionally, but not as often as from henB. It is nothing unusual to get eggs from ducka at five months of age. It takes a duck about six weeks to molt and get in good condition again. Four ducks laid 612 eggs last season from which were hatched 300 little ducka.

For various disorders arising from improper digestion and assimilation of foods the use of powdered charcoal in the food rations will invariably prove bene- ficial. Sour crop will yield readily to the assistance of charcoal. As a tunic for sickly appearing fowls the use of cbarcoa' is unsurpassed. Many unwittingly make the error of attempting to relieve these conditions of sick and deranged chicks and fowls by doping, which in tL tends only to make matters worse o a season, giving one man all the emplov- ment he would want. Ducka are not subject to disease, as a rule. They are not troubled with vermin and do not have gapes.

"Milk is responsible for the deaths of thousands of babies and old people every year in our cities." This is what one of the leading physicians of a large city said to me a few dayE ago in speaking of the difficulty of getting a pure milk supply. It had been very warm for a week and the mortalitv among the children had been unusually great. "This morning the milk which came to me was decidedly off," a gentleman added after the doctor had made this assertion. "It was not sour, botitsmelled bad. There was a dead, shut-up odor that made me afraid to use it. I know just what this smell was, for I had met in my own dairy sometimes, especially when the weather iB hot and the air full of what the learned weather men call "humidity," writes E.L.Vin- cent in Wisconsin AgriniUunst. And it is hard work to avoid these odors at the Beason of the year when heat is the pre- vailing condition of the atmosphere day after day. Now, I have no doubt that the doctor was right in hiB assertion as to the ex- cessive mortality among the little folks due to impure milk. MoBt of the bowel troubles which take the children away come from germ diseases, and germs are always present in impure milk. I never was sicker in my life than once when away from home at a hotel I drank a glass of milk for supper. It waB a very warm day but I did not notice anything whatever wrong with the milk I used. I had been feeling perfectly well, so that I am satisfied that what followed could be traced right back to the milk, for I had eaten nothing else which could account for it. I went to bed and fell asleep. About ten o'clock I woke feeling deathly sick. I vomited and had a terrible diarrhoea which rapidly took my strength. In less than two hours I was eo sick that I could scarcely stand. Calling a physician after a time I succeeded in checking the trouble, but it was several days before I wan. as strong as before. Since then I have been more careful than ever about having the milk from my dairy just as pure and sweet as care can make it. None of us would like to be told that we are partners with disease, and especi- ally disease which attacks and has for its victims the helpless little oneB. And yet, whenever we are not scrupulously careful about the condition our milk is in when it goes to the milk station or when it is changed into the form of cream or butter or cheese, we are at least acces- sories after the fact if someone dies of disease contracted through our careless- ness or neglect. So it stands ub in hand to work faithfully against such a charge. We have BinB enough to answer for and the gray hairs will come fast enough Warranted to Give Satisfaction.

There are a .number of devices now on the market for sending pure air through fresh milk, thus lessening the liability to the growth of germs. These all work on practically the same plan. The warm mHk slowly p.iESes through the aerator, bringing the little stream of liquid into contact with the air. Then it should be set away eomewbere so that it may not attract to itself any odors from decaying or otherwise ill-smelling vegetables or fruits. It seems sometimes as if the' subject of washing dairy utensils clean has been spoken of so many times that nobody pays any attention to it. And yet, no subject is of more vital importance to the dairy- man. Wash clean, men and brethren. Wash clean! This is our everlasting watchword. That is one thing we may all do. We may think we are not able to buy an aerator, but we can use a clean brush and plenty of hot water and elbow grease. These will count, particularly if we avail ourselves of the purifying help of the air and sunshine by placing all our utensils out of doors where theBe agencies can work upon them. And right here is still another thing we can do. We can give our canB of milk a good thorough shaking up two or three times in the course of the evening, if we have no specially prepared aerator. After the milk is in the can all ready for shipment, take the can firmly by the top and whirl it round so as to throw the con- tents smartly from one Bide to the other, and keep this up until the milk has ail been Btirred from the bottom and brought in contact with the air. An hour or so later repeat this operation. On very warm nights it will pay to get out of bed and go out to the cans and repeat the operatin. If you can arrange it to bring a spring down to the house, so much the better. Rig up a trough and into this Eet the cans after the milk has been put into them. Even if the water be not very cold if it runs through the trough it will do much to cool and purify the milk. But whether you can do this on not, do not neglect shaking- the cans and where- ever possible leave the covers off. By bui'ding a little roof over the trough this will be easier. Smothered milk will sour much more quickly than that which has been well aerated. There is a deep sense of satisfaction in thinking that 60 far as we are concerned we have done our best to give the city neighbors, pure, sweet milk and butter. The time is coming when our laws will be more stringent than they now are on this subject. The drift is that way, and that iB as it should be. The man who will complain because he is required to keep his stables and all things connected therewith absolutely clean would find fault if he were to be asked to wear a clean shirt to church on Sunday. And it would be a pretty small Bpecimen of a man that would do that. Sustaining the Milk Flow in Dry- Summers. In this section of southwest Missouri drouth usually comes about three Eeasons out of five. I am obliged to make pro- vision for the protection of summer pastures, writes W. N.Love in Orange Judd Farmer. Dairymen in general are prone to overstock pastures in the early part of the season rnd when drouth comes they are already Bhort and conse- quently Buffer greatly. After a hard winter I hire a summer pasture and leave the home supply more than ample for the dairy cowa. The next provision is to see that the ample land is not used for pasture until late in the season, unless drouth makes it necessary. If the past- ure is not overstocked and ordinary growth of mowed land untouched I am pretty Bafe until the middle of September for an ordinary herd of cattle. The next provision I usually make is to sow some cow peas and plant some late corn of the early ripening variety, or of the evergreen Bweet variety on wheat land, immediately after the'wheat is cut. This ground is plowed or disked, if con- ditions for disking are proper, while I plant about two gallons of peas and one gallon of corn per acre in the row. If only peas are to be planted, I use about 20 pounds, or one third of a bushel to the acre, and go over the ground twice, mak- ingtherows about 22 inches apart. The only cultivation given this crop iB one or two harrowings just after they have ap- peared above the ground. Putting in tbiB crop requires little extra labor, although it comes at a time when there is much other important work on the farm, but the results more than pay for the extra work, if the season proves to be very dry. In any case, we have an excellent amount of extra feed. and have benefitted the soil. If the mixed crop is not needed during a drouth period, then wait until they begin to r'pen and shock for bay. A ton of this pea hay will be worth almost as much as a ton of wheat bran. I have grown cowpeas continuously for 16 years, and during this time I have experimented with millets, sorghum, Kaffir corn, etc., but have found nothing that equals an early variety of corn planted late with peaB, peas alone aB feed paying, to say nothing of the benefits to the soil. I think however, that alfalfa is better than corn and peas to carry the dairy cows over the drouth period, without diminishing the flow of milk, But up to the preBejt time my experience with alfalfa has been in learning how to sow it, though with the use of inoculating bac- teria I hope to be able to have some suc- Did you ever watch the actions of a horse when he iB free to choose his own place to rest.

Many a horee has contracted permanent injury Bimply because he was compelled to stand in a strained and unnatural position in his stall. o You can tell more about the mutton qualities and the general thrift and feed- ing ability of your sheep now after they are shorn and before the wool is grown out long again, than at any .other time in the year. It is therefore a good time to do the culling of the ewe flock. cess. My-experience has been that othe grasses tend to crowd out alfalfa. In on case, with a heavy application of bare yard manure, I had as fine a pasture c timothy and red clover as I ever wish t see, and the alfalfa completely dis appeared. " Silage will fully meet the emergency c a dry period, but hitherto I have neve had enough to last until past the first c May, and but few dairy farms are equippe- with large enough silos to be able to hav this feed the year around. In conclusio: will say that if no other provision ha been made for the drouth period, it wil pay to feed dairy cows bran or cottonseei meal and green corn from the field, ii order to Bustain the milk flow.

Salting patches of weed in a pasture often solves the problem o how to clean them up. By keeping a this policy week after week and year afte year, results can be accomplished. Never shoe a horse except when th work he must do will make shoein necesBary for the protection of the feel There is a great deal of farm work a which the horse's feet are much bette without shoes.

There- is so much prejudice for and against certain feeds, time of watering, color of horses and fads, that it is well to have praotical horsemen tell us the right ind then throw our prejudice to the winds. The English Farm and Home publishes the following article on feeding bran, that explains from a veterinary point the value of bran when fed with Train and hay as a relish, much as some tf our stock foods to maintain condition: | The feeding of dry bran is very often Supposed to have a binding effect upon a horse's bowels, but there is no real reason why this frequently-expressed opinion should be held, as dry bran does not, as a matter of fact, possess any binding properties. It proves a perfectly whole- some food for horBes and it is, as a general rule, much liked by them and eaten with jreat reliBh. Bran is not, of course, a cood that will make muscle and give hard working condition, like corn, and it can- not in any way be regarded as a substitute or the latter despite the fact that the ihemical composition of bran, as shown Dy the figures of an analysis, is much akin ,o that of oats or maize. Bran is a useful mpplementary foodstuff for horse-feeding ourposes, both on account of the nourish- ment which it contains and of its palata- jility to horses. In the case of horses vhich are poor feeders, the plan of mixing .ome bran instead of chaff with their corn >ften is successful in inducing them to consume their feed of corn with greater •elish than they otherwise do. When a loree is a bad doer, and in consequence carries too little flesh on its ribs, the mimal's b dily condition may not in- requently be improved by feeding a ;oodly daily allowance of bran— say, 4 to . pounds. The consumption of this large luantity of bran every day, in addition o the usual corn ration and hay allowance, iften causes a horse to put on flesh and ain in weight and bodily condition, Bran s practically just as suitable as chaff or hop for the purpose of mixing with the eed of corn in order to make the horses hew and insalivate their corn in a horough manner, and it is much more •alatable to horses than chaff or chop. Bran is a very useful food for such idle orses as may require an allowance of oncentrated food in addition to their tber diet. It contains an ample amount f nourishment, and is nitrogenous in haracter, and yet it is in no? ise heating i its effects upon the horse's system — a ict which renders it pre-eminently suit- ble as a concentrated foodstuff for idle orses, and those that perform but very ttle work. Some bran is also a useful Jjunct to the diet of heavy-in-foal mares od for mares with suckling foals at foot. ran is very generally regarded as a ilk-making food by horse breeders, and | though there are no accurately carried lit experiments in regard to this question ,i record which could be adduced in sup- 3rt of this opinion, it is supported by le fact that bran proves a good milk- roducing food in the case of dairy cows, id it is pretty safe to assume that if :an has a stimulating effect on the flow milk in cows, it has a similar'effect in 18 case of suckling broodmares. Bran is very suitable as a supplement- 'y concentrated food for weaned foals id young horseB, There is nothing bet- 'r than a little bran for mixing with ie crushed oats when foals are being ought on to solid food, bran being easily jested by a foal when the latter is able ' deal with solid food. In the case sick horseB and those that are con- ..lescent, the inclusion of some bran in | [ eir diet proves very beneficial. On count of it palatability, bran tempts the .petite of sick horses more easily than her dry foods. Canary Hay Seed. Major C. P. BraBlan of the Braslan Seed •oweraj Company has the following to y to a San Jose Mercury reporter in re- 13 gard to the growing of canary seed, which has been undertaken with great success this season in the San Juan valley. "At our seed farm this year we planted canary seed in quantity, for the first time in this country. The planting was done merely for seed purposes. But as the plant developed, we began to realize that we had discovered something that promis.ed to revolutionize hay growing. "You are presumably aware this year wheat and barley have Buffered much from rust. But thiB field waB free from rust while wheat and barley, side by side with this field, were eaten up with ruBt. It seems to be rust proof. "Cows and horses are so fond of it that they will pass by barley and wheat to get at the canary seed. And better still, they can't eat too much as it ia harmless.'' As to the productiveness, it grows over five feet bigh and will make five tons of hay to the acre. It is ready for cutting two or three weeks earlier than barley. Ab a seed plant it produces about 1500 pounds of seed to the acre, and in plant- ing about 30 poundB of seed should be drilled in. — Hollister Advance .

San Francisco, Saturday, August 5, 1905 SANTA ROSA is now headquarters for all the trotters and pacers that are being raced on the California circuit. All the fast ones are there, in- cluding Zolock 2:051, tae fastest horse on the Pacific Coast. Probably the two hundred box stalls at Santa Rosa Stock Farm track are all filled by this time, as last Saturday but very few vacant ones were left. On Wednesday of next week the Sonoma Driving Club will give a benefit to Willard Zibbell, a good program of racing being promised for this the initial meeting of the new club. A more worthy cause could not be be found for the first attempt of this club at giving a race meeting, and as tickets have been sold to a great many people there will be a large attendance. This benefit will whet the appetites of horsemen for the splendid program which the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association will open one week later. There has been no meeting held on this coast in years that has been looked forward to with as much inter- est as this one. The high class of the entries to the class events, and the known and unknown qualities of the colts and fillies that will start in the four rich stakes are subjects of discussion wherever horsemen are assembled. People are coming from all parts of the State to attend this meeting at Santa Rosa, and they will not be disappointed, as the racing is bound to be good, the tier efast, and the citizens of the town ready to give all visitors a most hospitable reception. Santa Rosa is growing very fast, new residences and business blocks being very numerous. The climate is one of Santa Rosa's proudest boasts and sunny days and cool nights are certain. The best vacation for a lover of horses to take is to visit Santa Rosa during the Breeders meetiDg which opens August 16th THE HORSES belonging to the estate of the late Michael Pox will be sold at private sale by the executor whose advertisement appears in another oolumo of this issue. The list is headed by the well known Masedo, a winner of the majority of his starts both at New York and in California. Masedo was one of the sensational two-year olds of 1903 winning a good race and running Boxwood to a head in the Laureate Stake, five furlongs in :59j and defeating Highball, Greencrest and other good ones. Reseda II the dam of Masedo will be sold in this lot. She is by Midlo- thian from Marigold by Luke Blackburn and is in foal to Orsini a son of Ormonde and Jongleuse. The well known broodmare Fanny Louise by Darebin-Nellie Peyton will also be offered. Fanny Louise was a good race mare herself and is the dam of the well known stake winners Canmore, Andrisa and Sister Jeanie. She is a young mare and was bred to St. Carlo this year and ha9 proved herself to be a producer of high class race horses. There are two weanling fillies in the lot one by St. Carlo from Reseda II and the other by Orsini from Fanny Louise which should prove good prospeotsif looks and breeding count for anything. The yearlings are a bay colt by Kenilworth from EdnaRose adaugh- ter of Reseda II and a bay filly by Orsini from Fanny Louise; and one in search of good racing prospects should not fail to make a bid on these foals as they are on looks and conformation the beat lot that have been offered in the local market this season. WESTCHESTER RACING ASSOCIATION an- nounces in our business columns this week, many»8takes to close August loth for its Autumn Meeting. Belmont Park where these races will be run is the finest race course in America The stakes announced are for two-year-olds, three-year-olds, two- year olds and upwards and three-year-olds and up- wards, besides weight for age races and several steeple-chase events.

The following from the San Francisco Call of August 1st, will interest all of our readers who have read of the fearful accident at Fresno on July 12th. Oakland, July 21— Out of the West there came toiay a modern Lochin^ar to claim a bride. It was a twentieth century weddiDg with a vengeance that was celebrated this afternoon in Oakland when bride, groom, witnesses and the offlfiatiog knot-tier sallied forth in an automobile and celebrated the ceremony in the big touring car on the street corner. Willard Rush Zibbell and Georgie Kempfer were the contract- ing parties. In the large machine with the "chug chug" of the the wheels for accompaniment, Justice of the Peace W. R. Geary pronounced the words that united Zib- bell and his bride. The witnesses who sat in the for- ward seat with a chauffeur were J. W. Zibbell and Mrs. Dora Zibbell, the groom's father and mother, and Miss Ena Zibbell, his sister. The groom is a horseman of some note, and is a member of the firm of Zibbell & Son, proprietors of the Zibbell stable, 672 Eleventh avenue, San Francisco. The bride is also a resident of the city across the bay, whence came the bridal party in the automobile .today. The wedding occurred at the corner of Sixth and Castro streets at 4:30 o'clock. Shortly before that time Justice Geary was summoned to the County Clerk's office by a message which announced that his services would be required at a marriage ceremony. When the Justice arrived he was introduced to the automobile party, and was invited to jump in for a ride. It was explained to Judge Geary that the bride and groom did not desire to leave the machine, so a quick run was made to Sixth and Castro streets as a convenient and quiet spot for the ceremony. Quickly the event was concluded, and Justice Geary left the machine, waving adieu to the bridal party as the autcmobile faded away in the cloud of dust, headed back for San Francisco. Around the unique wedding is a touch of unusual sentiment and pathos. On July 12th Zibbell was in Fresno with a friend. While walkiDg across the rail- road track one night they were struck by a train at the crossing. The friend was killed and Zibbell was crippled for life. His left arm was cut off, his right hand was severed and his left leg was cut off. He also suffered internal injuries which for many days left him hovering between life and death. The injured man was nursed back to life by careful and attentive effort. The most anxious of all during this time was the young man's sweetheart, Mrs. Kempfer, to whom he was engaged to be married. Many days passed before word was at last given that Zibbell would live "Who," it was asued, "should have a better right to care for this unfortunate man than the woman who was to be his wife?" It was all talked over among the Zibbells. The young man was sure he did not want his sweetheart to make the sacrifice. She, with a loyal heart and in- sistence that could not be broken, declared she must take her place at her lover's side as his wife. Oniy in that capacity could she be his helpmeet iD his hour of sore need and trial. So the arguments ran until the plucky woman, like most of her sisters, had her own way. Then it was a problem, in view of Zlbbell's condition, to have the marriage celebrated without undue notice. They de- cided to come to Oakland, hoping that here it could be arranged quietly. The family desired to bo present. A procession of hacks was not wanted, and Zibbell's condition was such that he cjuld Dot travel in toe ordinary way by boat and train. The automobile solved the case. A friend of Mr. Zibbell's kindly offered the use of his machine. Without any publicity the Zibbells and the bride formed the party that hoaded for Oakland this after- noon. Without delay the trip was made to the Hall of Records, where thenecessary licenseand the equally necessary Justice of the Peace were brought into service. In the brief explanation that was made while the Justice was on the way to the rendezvous, he was told that owing to the groom's crippled con- dition he could not leave the machine. Judge Geary rapidly made a mental review of the law of the State of California on the subject of marriage. He could remembernothingthat prevented him from officiating in an automobile, so long as the contracting parties were legally qualified. Without any ado he joined in the spirit of the occasion • nd sent away the happy couple with his judicial biessiog. Sonoma County Driving Club. The new driving club organized by the horsemen of Sonoma county has started out right by joining the National Trotting Association and all matinee and other racing under the club's auspices will be accord- ing to rule. At a meeting held the other evening at Santa Rosa it was decided to give a benefit on Wednesday of next week to Willard Zibbell, the unfortunate trainer who lost his limbs in the awful railroad accident at Fresno July 12th. The benefit will take the form of a race meet and some of the best horses at the track will start on the occasion and it is hoped that a handsome 6um will be realized forthe benefit of the unfortunateyoung man. A Committee on Speed Program was named consist- ing of F. Wright of Sacramento, John Albertson of Fresno and W. H. Lumsden of Santa Rosa. The horsemen are all very enthusiastic over the meeting. They are all very anxious to do what they can for Zibbell, and they want the public to assist them and in return promise an excellent card. Zibbell is quite well known in Santa Rosa. He resided there once and so did his parents. The general spirit which . moves the horsemen in this effort is a very worthy 0 e. Henry Carlton, secretary of the Sonoma County Driving Club will take an active part in the arrange- ments. Some twenty horses have already been entered to start. There will be two or three races between horses owned by members of the Sonoma Driving Club and all the fastest horses at the track will be driven exhibition, miles, halves or quarters. The officers of the new club are P. H. Quinn, Presi- dent; W. H. Lumsden, Vice-President; L. W. Burris; Treasurer, and H. A. Carlton, Secretary. * Club Racing at Albany, Oregon. ALBANY, July 29, 1905. The Independence Driving Club gave a successful program this afternoon at their balf mile track just beyond the city limits. Attendance was satisfactory, weather pleasant and track good. The participants were mostly local owners and the interest manifested was on that account all the more keen. No records were smashed, but the entertainment offered satisfied the crowd. The harness races were half mile heats, three in five, with the exception of the "club race" which was two in three. Small purses, plus a propor- tion of the gate receipts, were offered. The program had provided an event for the gallopers, which, how- ever, was not pulled off.

The second dam of this colt is the great broodmare Emma Nutwood dam of Lottery Ticket 2:19.1 and Pilot Prince 2:2SJ both 2:10 sires, the former b.iinc the sire of Mush 2:083 and the latter sire of Nance O'Nell 2:09}. The colts third dam is that famous old mare Ladv [3mma, record 2:38 on a half mile track, sired by Black Hawk 7117, bis fourth dam is by the world's champion trotter at 30 miles, Gen. Taylor, and the fifth dam the mare Rosalie by Wil- liamson's Belmont. If there is a better bred son of Iran Alto 2:12} than this one wo have not heard of him. Hannibal, as the colt is called should make a great stock horse as he has tho size and conformation and will tire speed to a certainty. (lUc gveettex anb ^povtsman [August 5, 1906 Breeders meeting Will open at Santa Rosa One week from next Wednesday. It will be the greatest meeting held in California this year. _____ A car load of new MoMurray white enameled sulkies just received by the Kenney Manufacturing Company, 531 Valencia street. A sale of high-class, standard-bred stallions, brood mares, geldings and fillies will be held at Colusa next Wednesday, August 9th. Petigru 2:10} is goine 60 well and showing such ex- treme speed that he may be taken East for the late fall meetings on the Grand Circuit. Bids will be opened Monday next for the privileges of the Breeders meeting at Santa Rosa. The privileges to be let will be found advertised in our columns to- day. Mart Rollin's good gelding Charley Belden by Lyn- wood W, dam by SilaB Skinner, trotted a mile in 2:16 last Saturday at Santa Rosa and the last quarter was in 32 seconds. The new 29-pound Flower City sulky which the San Francisco Wheel & Novelty Company has just received is a beauty. Get it to win a race with at Santa Rosa or the State Fair. J. O. Gerrity has the string of trotters and pacers owned by W. A. Clark, Jr. and will drive them in their races at the New England meetings and later on the Grand Circuit. The row of stalls filled with young Sidney Dillons which Frank Turner has at the Santa Rosa track at- tract the attention of all visitors to that speed centre. They are grand looking colts and fillies. Zolock 2:05} has been bred to about twenty mares since he started at Los Angeles. He is not only the fastest entire son of McKinney, but is considered by many students of pedigree and blood lines to be the best bred. C. K. G. Billings drove his pacing team Hontas Crook and Prince Direct a quarter of a mile against time at Cleveland track last week and they covered the distance in 29} seconds. This is the fastest quarter ever paced by a team. The dam of Beile Mack 2:04} has foaled a very hand- some colt by Rey Direct 2:10 It is a natural pacer. This mare will be bred to Pilot Wilkes thiB season. Air. Chas Master, who owns her. recently lost a full brother to Belle Mack. For a purse of $400 offered for the free-for-all pacers at Titusville, Pa , last week, there were five starters. The track is a half mile oval, yet the time of Frank Yoakum, the winner, was 2:05}, 2:06} and 2:12. The last heat was in the rain. Colts and fillies entered in the Occident, Stanford and Breeders futurity stakes are to be sold at Colusa on the 9th of August, when Mr. E. C. Peart of that city disposes of his standard bred stallions, mares, geldings and Sillies. Here is a chance to buy a future stake winner at your own price. The Directors of the State Agricultural Society have decided to have all livestock to be entered or raced at the coming State Fair to be examined by Drs. Charles Keane, J. H. McLean, A. M. McCollum, C. L Megowan and D. F. Fox before permitting them upon the Fair grounds. Alta McDonald gave Excuse No. 69 from Murray Howe's Excuse Book to account for Sweet Marie's defeat at Philadelphia. This excuse reads "Track did not suit her." McDonald, however, overlooked Murray Howe's foot note which reads "Never use this one when all the heats are better than 2:12. " The three-year-old trotters that start in the Breed- era Futurity this year will contest for $2300, divided if, and 10 per cent. First money will be $1150, and If the owner of the winner was the original nomi- nator of the colt he will be paid $200 additional. The owner of the stallion at the time the colt was bred will get »100 "Smoke Stack" won again with Golden Gate when he reached Fremont, Nebraska The account of the race states that it was a 2:40 trot that he started in. Although the Bay Bird gelding has been pacing in his previous starts this year, he can go either gait and as the best time of the Fremont race was 2:25, the probability is that Brown is starting bim in all races to wbich he is eligible and has a chance to win. Golden Gate's pacing record is 2:13} made at Denver n June, this year. "Young man, see what hard work will do. The hoy that cared for the roan filly I raced at Gumbo Flats, July 4, has opened a public training stable at Pumpkinville Corners, and already has an even dozen horses in his string. Six weeks ago he didn't know what a 'quarter boot" looked like, but now he is the "real thing." — Columbus. Electro, bay stallion by Sutter 29069, dam the thor- oughbred mare Buchu by Buchanan, is a two-year-old of high form ind great promise He is owned by Mr. E. C. Peart of Colusa, is entered in the Stanford and Occident stakes of next year, acd will be sold at auc- tion at Colusa next Wednesday with the rest of Mr. Peart 's stock. Zolock will not be entered in the free-for-all pace at the State Fair. All the horsemen conceded it would be a walk over for the great son of McKinney and Henry Delaney shows that he is willing to let others have a cbance by keeping Zolock out of the race. Zolock will be driven exhibition miles, however, so the public will have a chance to see him. Eighteen horses won heats in 2:10 or better at the Detroit meeting, and still the racing >vas not con- sidered sensational. The number of 2:10 performers is increasing so fast tnat unless a trotter or pacer 6hows he is likely to go two or three heats in that time he is not considered of class enough to race on the Grand Circuit. The Sonoma County Driving Club haB joined the National Trotting Association and will hold all its races according to rule. The first meeting of the new organization will be on Wednesday of next week when a benefit will be tendered to Willard Zibbell, the un- fortunate young trainer, so terribly injured in the recent Fresno railroad accident. Ed Parker who marked Dictatress2:08|, Rey Direct 2:10 and many other fast ones, has opened a public training stable at Pleasanton and desires a few more horses to train. Mr. Parker is one of the most care- ful men in the business, knows how to get speed out of colts and teaches them good manners as well aB know- ing how to gait and balance them. His advertisement appears in our business columns. Bought a few years ago for $5 and later sold for $150, a "scrub" pony broke a world's record in Denver, July 29th, and now his owner would not take $1500 for him. The world's half-mile mark for polo ponies was broken at the City Park track by Uncle Sam, owned by George C. Wood and ridden by Charles G. Sutton, who weighs 165 pounds. Uncle Sara's time was :52 2-5. The world's record was :52f. The celebration to be made by the Native Sons at Sacramento duriDg fair week will undoubtedly draw a very large crowd to the Capital City. The exhibit at the pavilion this year will be under the auspices of this order and tfill consist of displays of the products of the various counties in the State. The Agricultural Society offers $500 for first prize. Admission to the pavilion will be free during the entire week. Remember the sale of high-class standard bred stallions, broodmares, geldings and fillies that is to take place Wednesday, August 9th, at Colusa, Cali- fornia. These animals are consigned by Mr. E. C. Peart, the well known merchant and stock breeder of Colusa oounty, and some very choice young prospects are among them. A lot of sulkies, carts and harness are also to be sold at the same time and place. Sales of horses in New York and Chicago thus far this year exceed those of the corresponding period last season by about 10,000 head in each city. The increase is remarkable in view of the immense pres- sure of vast capital to crowd horses out. Motor vehi- cles are being promoted aa enormous cost to the mak- ers and users, yet opposition to horses only seems to emphasize their utility in all industry and commerce. Fred H. Chase & Co. announce than or about Octo- ber 12, 1805, tbey wUl sell at auction at Suisun, fifty head of registered Shorthorn bulls and heifers from the prize winning Humboldt Herd, property of Rush & Pierce. Write to their office, 1732 Market street, San Francisco, for particulars and catalogues. The New York Club is expending about $250,000 in remodeling, or rather, rebuilding, its clubhouse in East Fifty-eighth street. The new riding ring when completed will be a trifle larger than any other in this country, with an area of 18.000 square feet. It is to be 173} feet long and 104 feet wide. To make room for i high basement stable containing 400 stalls the level of the ring will be raised ten feet above the 6treet. The directors of the Kings County Agricultural Association held a meeting August 1st. and made many arrangements in regard to the Central Califor- nia Fair to be held at Hanford in October. There is much enthusiasm in Kings county over the fair this year, and an effort will be made to make it the best fair yet held there. A number of handsome Bilver cupB have already been donated for the live stcek department. The Kings county supervisors have made a va'uable discovery in making new roads. After the roadway is thoroughly oiled they cover the oil with straw. This they claim prevents the oii from adhering to the wheels and horses' hoofs, but at the same time allows the vehicles and animals to thoroughly work the oil into the ground, thus making a smooth roadway with- out the usual waste of oil by its being carried off on wheels and horses' hoofs. Lou Milton, the dam of Lou Dillon 1:581, etc., has a new representative in the list in her great grand- daughter Sally Pointer 2:13}, owned by Mr. J. C. Adams of Phoenix, Arizona. Sally Pointer is by Sky Pointer, own brother to Star Pointer, and her dam is Sister, matinee record 2:20 by McKinney, second dam Aiieen 2:26* by Anteeo, third dam Lou Milton by Milton Medium. Sally Pointer stands J6.2, weighs 1320 pounds and is one of the largest mares on the turf. John Phippen has a mare with a colt at her side that is a futurity candidate, bred well enough for and looking to have class enough to win first money. The mare is Athene by Dexter Prince, dam Athena by Electioneer, second dam Ashby by Gen. Benton, third dam the thoroughbred mare Ashland -by Ash- land. The colt was foaled in April this year and is by that great racehorse, Kinney Lou 2:07}, son of Mc- Kinney 2:11}. If there isn't race winning blood in this colt, there was never one foaled with it in his veins. McKinney, Dexter Prince, Electioneer and thotoughbred is the combination. The Occidental Hotel at Santa Rosa has been en- larged by a very handsome pressed brick addition containing 100 rooms ensuite and single. There is not an inside room in the building, and all are hand- somely furnished, with bath, hot and cold water, electric lights, etc. Messrs. Bain and QuiDn, the pro- prietors, have made The Occidental the finest hotel north of San Francisco. A new electric elevator of the most approved pattern has also been installed. The Occidental will be headquarters for horsemen during the meeting of the Breeders Association which opens August 16th. Who will win the Califorria Stake, $2000, at the Breeder6 Meeting at Santa Rosa? There were 17 original entries, but probably not more than 6even or eight will face the starter. On form thus far displayed the race looks to be between Charley T. by Zombro, Oro Belmont and Little Babe. There are several prospective starters, however, that have not made their appearance at the meetings up to this time, that may be "the goods." No one can tell just how fast the race will be trotted, but Morosco's mark of 2:12 last year will probably not be equalled. Field tickets should be in demand when the race is called. Mr. Chas. Griffiths' great mare, Bon Bon 2:26, was about eighteen years old when Bhe died at Pleasanton in 1903, but as Macbeth said of Lady Macbeth, "she should have died hereafter." Word comes from the East that Bon. Bon's colt, Rector by Rect 2:16}, took a pacing record of 2:10} at Saugus two weeks ago, giving her three standard performers, the other two being Bonnie Direct 2:05} and Bonsilene 2:14}. Rector's sire, Rect, is by Direct 2:05}, out of Lilly Stanley 2:17}. Bonnie Steinway, son of Steinway and Bon Bon will be another 2:10 performer to be added to the list soon, as he worked a mile in 2:08 at Pleasanton a few weeks ago. Bon Bon's family is destined to be one of the great ones within a few yearB. Mr. E. E. SmatherB, who deserted the trotters a couple of seasons ago and put a great stable of run- ning horses together, has made arrangements with the Fasig-Tipton company to dispose at public auc- tion of his entire racing string. Mr. Smatbers has been unfortunate in his running venture, it being Baid that he has lost during the past two seasons $450,000, outside of the expense of the stable. Mr. Smatbers does not say that he will again put together a stable of trotters, but says he will quit the runners for a time, anyway. When he went over to the runners he disposed of one of the greatest stables of light harness horse ever put together by an amateur driver. Among them was Major Delmar, the champion trot- ting gelding and winner of the famous Memphis Gold Cup. _____ A correspondent who was at the Alameda track last Sunday sends us the following account of a race held there that day. The race was a match for $100 a side, made by the well-known and popular road drivers, W. Grondola an^ Louie Tesio, the former starting Lady May, and the latter Gypsy. The race was won by Lady May in straight heats after one of the best contested races ever seen in Alameda county. Great interest was taken in the race as the principals are both popular members of the Oakland Driving Club. A large crowd, estimated at 2000 people, saw the sport, many ladies being present. Much money changed hands, favoriteism being evenly divided. The judges were the well-known and efficient horse- men, A. G. Andrews, Harold D. McGill and George Rafetta. L. Jackson, the old-time driver, acted aB starter. The race was conducted in a most satis- factory manner, the heats being fairly and honestly trotted and the officials receiving high praise on their prompt and fair decisions. Jos. Cuicello, the well-known trainer, was the victim of a peculiar accident last Tuesday evening while on the ferry steamer Tiburon as she was making her landing at Tiburon. The steamer was juBt rounding into the slip when her forward steering-rod broke. She was beaded straight for the dolphin on the other side of the slip at the moment, and when the accident occurred continued her course and jammed her nose into the dolphin. Tbe force of the impact snapped the flagpole en her forward end, and a piece fifteen feet long fell to to the deck below. Cuicello and an- other passenger for Santa Rosa were struck down by the piece, and as a result will bear ugly scalp wounds for some time to come. Both men received immediate treatment at the hands of Army Surgeon Cummings, who is stationed a't Angel Island, and who was on the boat at the time. While their injuries were being attended, both men missed the last train for their homes in Santa Rosa. President Foster stayed with them and offered to send them to Santa Rosa on a special train, but this offer was declined, the men saying that they were all right and could spend the evening in Tiburon as well as not. Cuicello might have escaped without injury, but he saw that a lady in front of him was directly in line of the descending flagpole, and jumped forward in an effort to keep it from hitting her. AUGUST 5, 1905] t&hc gsree£>etr tmfc gjtpiurtsmatt May Ear), a handsome four-year-old mare is the most talked about animal at the Lexington track. The Stock Farm says she is a four-year-old bay mare by San Mateo 2:13J (son of Simmons 2:28), dam Annie Earl by Earlmont. In her three-year-old form in 1904 she trotted a trial mile in 2:104, caught by a dozen watches, and a few days ago stepped the full length of the Lexington fairgrounds track in 2:09}, driven bv Mike Bowerman. In working this mile May Earl trotted tbe last half in 1:014, and the last quarter in 3H seconds Twenty minutes later she was driven a mi'le in about 2:12, it being her fourth mile that day. No other four year-old trotter has ever equalled this work over the Lexington track in July. May Earl possesses a pure gait and trots on her own courage. She is owned by John B. Stewart, who also owns her two-year-old full sister, a good gaited filly that has already beaten 2:30 in her work. Guy Fortune has been retired from the racing ranks and from now out he will shine in the show ring instead of an the trotting track, says an ex- change This handsome ohestnut stallion has a trot- ting record of 2:114, and Scott Hudson was of tbe ODinion that he was destined for a record of 2:06. When Hudson broke up his racing stable Guy Fortune was sent to Ed Geers but the latter did not have a chance to get acquainted with the trotter before he was purchased by Lawrence Jones of Louisville. Tbe latter thinks that Guy Fortune will make the fastest high stepper in the world. He has lots of action forward and back and be will need but a few lessons in order to Bhine in his new role. Guy Fortune is but another illustration of the fact that the Ameri- can trotter is the greatest all-round trotter in the world Many of tbe best blue ribbon winners in the high stepping show ring classes have been trotters with records. Unfortunately for the breeders these horses have too often lost their identity when con- verted into high steppers, and not infrequently the hackney has been accorded the credit which right- fully belonged to the trotter. Horse show enthusiasts when proclaiming that the trotter is merely a slab- sided speed marvel should be reminded of the facts in the case. Speed and beauty go hand and hand with the up-to-date breeder. The very fast pacing mare, Little Squaw 2:044, has joined the double-gaited record brigade. She staried as a trotter recently at Nevada, Missouri, and won the race easily, getting a mark of 2:22}. Dan Patoh 1:56 has made his start as a sire. Sailor 2:174;, a winner in the Gas Belt Circuit, is by the champion. On the opening day of the Windsor meeting, George Ketchum of Toledo, owner of Cresceus, purchased for George McMillan, Calgary, Northwest Territory, the sensational pacer Gallagher 2:034, at a price reported to be in the neighborhood of $10,000. Gallagher will be shipped to England, where he will be raced in the stable of Walter Winans. The Canadian Ice Racing Circuit for next winter has been organized and an effort will be made to con- duct the racing on the same lines as the regular sum- mer meetings are conducted. The circuit members and dates are: Toronto, December 27th to 28th ; Orillia, January 3d to 4th; Port Parry, January 9th to 10th; Lindsay, January 13th tol4th; Peterborough, January 19th to 20th; Port Hope, January 26th to 27th; Picton, January 31st to February 1st; Belleville, February 3d to 4th; Kingston, February 8th to 9th. Ottawa and Montreal will follow wit"h meetings of longer duration. Ellamore, three-year-old record 2:294. by Barbnmore, is one of the most attractive mares driven on the New York speedway, and at a matinee there last week trotted a heat in 2:22|. Her second dam is Echora 2:23}, the dam of Direct 2:054. "Marque" says a very curious feature of the three- heat plan in vogue at Detroit is the fact that a horse can win two heats of a race, thus getting two-thirds of first money and by being shut out in the third heat lose the race and with it the pool money. If a driver has an incentive to cheat this plan puts a marked pack of cards in his hands and encourages him to use it. It's a case of getting the money coming and going. For instance: A is sold favorite for the race and, after winning the first heat, is a more pronounced favorite than ever. His managers buy all the fields against him but play him in the books to win the second heat. He wins the second heat and then his managers find it possible to buy the field against him for a song. He makes a break and gets shut out in the third heat, thus making it impossible, under the con- ditions of the race, to win the money bet on the result of the race. The consequence is that he has won two- thirds of first money; won all the money bet on him to win the first and second heats and yet has lost the race. Chas. C. Woodmansee, aged 30 years, son of the well-known Minneapolis horseman, Daniel W. Wood- mansee, fell from a wharf at San Diego last Sunday while fishing, and was drowned. Mr. A. B. Spreckels is in New York, where on the 30th inst. his annual consignment of thoroughbred yearlings from his Napa Stock Farm will be sold at public auction by the Fasig-Tipton Company. There are eighteen head in this consignment by im- ported Solitaire II and Marius II, and several others by Imported Crighton, imported The Judge, imported St. Symphorien and the well known horse Libertine. While last year's consignment from this farm was an especially fine lot of yearlings, the youngsters that Superintendent Geo. W. Berry will take over this year are said by those who have seen them to be the best and highest class lot of yearlings ever bred on a California Stock Farm. Angle, the winner of the Merchants' and Manu- facturers' Stake at Detroit, was bred in Lexington by Dr. O. J. Phelps. Her wonderful performance again repudiates the often advanced theorp that the first foal will be worthless Angle is the fi"rst foal of Lena Rivers, by Gambonita, a son of Gambetta Wilkes. Lena Rivers did not race, but was one of the most beautiful show and buggy mares ever seen around Lexington. She also had a world of speed, for her owner, Dr. Phelps, has often been heard to say that Lena Rivers could step a mile to a buggy along the turnpike from 2:27 to 2:30. Angle is by Axtell, one of the highest priced t'-olting stallions ever sold. She was developed at the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breed- ers Association track in the hands of Mike and George Bowerman and later in the hands of W. F. Freeman, She was bought from Bowerman Bros, by Mr. Free- man the summer she was a three-year-old for a short price. Later in the year she worked a mile in 2:15. the half in 1:03} and the quarter in 30} seconds. As a four-year-old she worked a mile in 2:10 and behind the wind shield a mile in 2:06}. The fall Angle was a four year-old Mr. Freeman sold her to Calvin Morris, of Cleveland, for $15,000.— Kentucky Farmer. A Great Mile for Derbertha. There is sometimes a great difference between theory and fact. According to the trotting instinct theorists the world's record-breaking trotters of to- day should be those which inherit the most trotting instinct and the least running blood, through the near ancestors of both sire and dam. There are thousands of trotting stallions whose dams were much more strongly bred in trotting lines than was the dam of Sidney Dillon, yet he sired the world's champion trotter, Lou Dillon 1:584. There were thousands whose dams had much more trotting inheritance than did the dam of Directum 2:05}, yet he holds the world's champion record for four-year-old trotters, Speed ability is just as essential to record-breaking trotters as is trotting instinct. — American Horse Breeder. With the fad for automobiles at high-water mark it is rather surprising that the carriage builders of New York should be experiencing one of the best summer seasons they have known in five years. Such is the report from nearly every house in the trade, however. As showing the improvement in business since last year one of the oldest builders of high-grade work in New York says their deliveries to July 15 were only 12 short of the entire number of carriages sold by them in 1904. Not only is the demand for carriages healthy, but the sales of horses in New York and Chicago thus far this year exceed those of the corre- sponding period last season by about 10,000 head in each city. The increase is remarkable in view of the immense pressure of vast capital to crowd horses out. Motor vehicles are being promoted at enormous cost to the makers and users, yet opposition to horses only seems to emphasize their utility in all industry and commerce. — New York Herald. One of the three-year-old trotters being talked about at Cleveland is Carrie McKerron, a daughter of John A. McKerron 2:04} and Carrie Onward 2:144. The show horse and the speed horse are not so far apart as some imagine, especially if they are bred in trotting lines. Some time ago John Stewart, the dealer of Lexington, Ky , bought for show purposes a very handsome bay horse by Bow Bells 2:19}, dam Belle Cassett 2:13}, and a few days ago it was dis- covered that in addition to being a show horse and a high actor he is also gifted with speed. The first time he was asked to trot a mile he turned the trick in 2:50; the second time in 2:40, and the third time he stepped the distance in 2:284, the last quarter in 35 seconds. The Japanese government, through B. Hirosawa and T. Hayashi of Tokio, and H Murai of London, have closed a deal in this country for stock valued at $110,000, and the horses will go forward on their long journey to tbe island Empire about August 1st, start- ing from the Ideal Stock Farm at Ease Aurora, writes Frank B. Smith in Horse World- The purchase in- cludes 17 thoroughbred racers, 11 trotting-bred stal- lions, 2 hackney fillies and 4 hackney stallions. The 34 animals thus averaged about $3235 apiece, and the sale is regarded as one of the most important transactions in the history of the breeding industry. Superintendent John Bradburn of the Ideal Stock Farm conducted the negotiations for the sellers, while the Japanese had tbe invaluable experience of John Mackay, manager of the famous El Paso Stable ot J. B. Haggin, in their selections, beside a veterinary surgeon. The animals will go from Buffalo to the Pacific Coast in three special cars on an express train schedule. Three careful trainers will be in charge and when the long voyage over the Pacific iB begun, they will accompany the horses until they are de- livered in Japan, when they will return home. Their expenses both ways and the usual rate of wages, will be paid by the Mikado's government, in order that the horses may arrive in their new homes in the best possible condition. The deal was facilitated by the fact that the Ideal Farm was formerly known as the Village Farm, and some four years ago the Hamllns sold the Japanese a carload of horses whloh proved so satisfactory that they sought another and a larger consignment from the same breeders. It is believed that when the price paid for the animals is added to the amounts expended in bringing them to Japan, and the disbursements for wages and expenses are also included, that the total cost of each animal will far exceed that of any other similar purchase ever made for a foreign government. Mr. Hirosawa, who has been in Buffalo for several weeks, is authority for the statement that the animals will be used solely to improve the breed of the native horses, and that there will be other purchases made in the United States, but no more in the vicinity of Buffalo. The three representatives of Japan will now journey to Europe, and attend the convention of veterinary surgeons held at BudaPesth in August. Pleasanton, July 23, 1905. One of the greatest miles ever seen at the Pleasan- ton race track was driven by Farmer Bunch behind Derbertha, full sister to Don Derby 2:04}, Diablo 2:09}, Oywho 2:094, etc. The Farmer had noised it around that he could drive her a mile in 2:10 or better. There were a few that doubted it so the Farmer said he would show them, so quite a crowd assembled at the Judge's stand to watch the performance. I will give you the mileB just as she paced them. The mare was brought on the track and warmed up a mile in 2:30, the second mile was in 2:24, la6t half in 1:08, the third mile was in 2:19, thelast half in 1:04, last quarter in 30 seconds. The Farmer then told the boys he would be ready in twenty minutes to make the trial. A runner was brought out this time aDd after scoring three or four time? they were given the word. Der- bertha paced the first quarter in 33 seconds, the half in 1:05} and the three-quarters in 1:38}. In comiDg in to the stretch she made a disastrous break and finished the mile in 2:12}. Every body thought Bunch wouldn't try again but the Farmer said he would be back in twenty minutes so all waited. Hardly any thought she would go in 2:10 let alone beating it. She scored two or three times and was given the word. She went the first quarter in 32 sec- onds, to the half in 1:04, three quarters in 1:364 and the mile in 2:07}. The mile was timed by Mr. Griffith, Dr. Boucher George A. Kelley, Mr. Ronan, Billy De Ryder and sjyeral others, so there is no mistake but what the time is correct. Some had it a little faster. Thi8 equals the track record held by Anaconda and Search- light. Searchlight was driven by the late Thomas Keating and Anaconda was driven by the late Johnny Blue, and both horses had records better than 2:05 when they did it, and it waB done in the winter time, when the track is supposed to be faster than it is now. Last year on the 27th of July at our race meeting, Billy Red paced the fastest mile of the meeting 2:124 and Tom Carneal took a record of 2:13. They went to Santa Rosa and Billy Red forced Tom Carneal to pace in 2:08} his present record and Billy Red took a record of 2:10. So you see that the Pleasanton track is not the fastest track in the summer time. Every- body agreed that if Derbertha was taken to Santa Rosa and started that she would go a mile in 2:05 or better. Derbertha wears no rigging of any kind , goes with alow head, wears a 10-ounce shoe in front and 64-ounces behind, a pair of heel boots in front and coronet boots behind. She Is six years old and about 15.2 hands high, will weigh about 1075, in color is a dark chestnut. A lady can drive her any place. She is the property of Robert Niles, of Eureka, Humboldt county. She is the first purchase he ever made in the race horse line and he is to be congratulated on owning such a great mare. Mr. Niles also owns the dam of Lady Waldstein and she is the dam of that sensational pacing colt at Los Angeles which paced a miie in 2:074 last year. He is by a son of Direct. I heard Mr. Salisbury say if they would drive him a mile that fast and let him time him, he would give $10,000 for him. Mr. Niles owns a full sister and full brother to Lady Waldstein, and a filly by Lecco 2:09} out of the old mare, so it looks like he was starting in the business in the right way. Mr. Niles expects to race Derbertha down the Grand Circuit next year and I hops she will be another Sweet Marie, and she surely looks it now. She will be given slow work for a while and then let up on until next winter when she will be prepared for the big events over East. Rail Bird. What They Think of the Breeders Ass'n. The following is from an editoral in the Fresno Democrat: Fresno enjoyed laBt week four days of extraordinary and honest horse racing. That race meet of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Association with its results attracted the notice of horsemen all over the country and therefore it proved one of the best advertisements that Fresno could posBibly have had. But aside from thiB consideration, .there was another feature which has not been given the public notice It deserves. That is that some of the best California bred race horses were assembled for the Fresno meet, that extraordinary good racing was the result with fast time and broken track recoi ds; that every horse entered In a race was run for all the speed that was in him and that the sport was con- ducted by gentlemen In a gentlemanly fashion for tbe entertainment of gentlemen and ladles and unattended by the gambling accompaniments, whloh unfortu- nately have done so muoh to bring the turf into dis- repute. The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Association is one factor to elevate honest horse rao- ing as a sport fit for kings and to Fresno, which last week it visited for the second time In its career, It will ever be weloome. 6 f&lxe gveebev crotr gtpoxt&tncm [August 5, 1905 SWEET MARIE 2:04 3-4 Owned by Wm. Garland of L03 Angeles. Driven by Alta McDonald of New York. Sweet Marie Beats Tiverton. "Money makes the mare go," according to the old proverb, and perhaps Sweet Marie will not do her level best unless the money is at the wire. At Phil- adelphia two weeks ago when she and Tiverton met, they raced for a share of the gate receipts. There was not a very large crowd present and Sweet Marie refused to trot her best, making disastrous breaks in every heat. Like a petted prima donna that refuses to warble her best notes to a small house, Sweet Marie perhaps took a look at the grand stand and concluded that she would not show her fastest gait for such a small return, and let Tiverton walk away with the race while she indulged in a few ''jimmies" and objected to being d riven so hard for such a small sum. There was $5000 up at Readville Thursday, how- ever,and McKinney's daughter shook her locks, cast her eye at the big bag of gold and says "Here's where I will 6how you whether Tiverton can beat me a two- in*three or any other old race." So she went at him the first heat and made his driver hustle to beat hei half a length. In the second heat she began to trot her best a little sooner and when the stretch was reached she had Tiverton extended to bis utmos. and beat him a neck. He was tired then, and when she collared him on the third heat, Tiverton was game as a pebble but at the distance post was "all in" and she jogged to the wire a length in front of him. We will let the Associated Press tell the story of the race. Readville, Mass., Aug. 3— California and New York met today at Readville track, and when the contest of the spetd ended the honors were awarded to the Pacific slope. Id one of the finest speed con- tests ever 6een on any race course, Sweet Marie defeated Tiverton two out of three heats, thereby winning for her owner, William Garland, of Los Angeles, a purse of 85000. It was 2:30 when Alia McDonald, behind Sweet Marie, and John Howell with Tiverton, appeared for the first heat, the latter getting the pole on thetosp, After two preliminary scores all was In readiness, and the first time down they got the word, with Tlvertoa a saddle girth In the lead. This advantage he In- creased until he swung down the stretch for home, when Sweet Marie reached his wheel, but the gelding won handily by half a length. Sweet Marie was under a hard drive. The time 2:05} was the trotting record of the year, beating that of Dr. Strong at Detroit last week by half a second. In the second heat. McDonald had Sweet Marie right on her stride and went away with Tiverton at a whirlwind gait. For a few strides the mare showed in front and then the gelding forged ahead, leading at the quarter by a length. This time McDonald made his drtve earlier, reaching Tiverton at the three- quarters. From there to the wire was witnessed one of the most desperate finishes ever seen on a track. The 6000 spectators in the grandstand were aroused to the highest pitch of excitement, and when Sweet Marie flashed under the wire a winner by a neck the applause was deafening and continued until the driver had dismounted and weighed in. Time — 2:04}. In the third and final heat Tiverton rushed to the front, but Sweet Marie yoked him on the lower turn Howell pushed Tiverton to the distance post. Then he realized that he was beaten and considerably eased his horse, the mare jogging home a winner by an open length. Time— 2:06}. The time of the three heats was, with the exception of the Cresceus-The Abbot race at Brighton Beach, the fastest ever trotted. In the opinion of experienced horsemen the time made today was superior, as The Abbot was withdrawn after the second heat and Cres- ceus went the mile accompanied by a runner for a pacemaker.

The last two days of the Detroit Grand Circuit meeting gave promise of some very high-class raciog, but a heavy rainstorm upset all calculations on Fri- day, necessitating the postponement of the finish of several events until Saturday, when a continuation of the downpour compelled the association to declare all races finished as they stood with the exception of the M. & M. Consolation Stake which was by unanimous consent postponed until Monday at the Cleveland track. Just before the races were to bsgin at Cleveland, on Monday, Mayor Tom Johnson issued a proclamation stating that pool selling would not be permitted at the track. This announcement, coming at the last moment, created consternation among horsemen and the members of the Cleveland Driving Park Associa- tion.

This was done and all gate admission fees were refunded, together with the entrance fees of horsemen. It was at first in- tended to transfer the races to Buffalo, but telegraph inquiry revealed the fact that Buffalo would not per- mit the transfer because of interference with the regular race week there. The horsemen, therefore, scattered, some of them going to Buffalo and else- where, and some of them remaining at Glenville to work out. THURSDAY AT DETROIT. The first race on the program was the 2:15 trot, for which eleven horses scored for the word. Glenwood M., a brown horse by Bobby Burns, was the favorite in this event, and won all the way in each of the three heats, although Geers made the hottest kind of a drive with Turley at the finish of every mile and was second in each heat. The time was fast, and the raoe Btamps Glenwood M as a good one that will be able to give some of the 2:06 trotters a raoe a little later in the season. The Chamber of Commerce Consolation, with five •tarters, went to Hal C, who won the first two heats, Bonnie Wilkes getting the third. Br n Walker drove Albuta In the first heat of this race, but the judges did not like the way he handled the gelding and took him out the sulky, substituting Curry, who improved shower prevented any more racing and the final heats of these races went over. Two of the fields were small but the 2:06 pace furnished excitement enough for two Tlays' racing In the opening heat of this race Hazel Patch piloted a bunch of fast ones to the dis- tance stand, with Baron Gratton and Win field Stratton alternating in forcing the pace. Right in front of the stand Hazel Patch swerved a little and Stratton won by inches only, with Baron almost even with Hazel. A bad drive of Lang, behind Ecstatic, called for the attention of the judges, and they declared all bets off. The second heat was a wonderful race all the way, heads separating the four in front. Baron Gratton won by one stride over Riley B , while the rest of the bunch were in almost a straight line across the track at Riley's neck. It was the best finish of the meeting. The M. and M. Consolation saw Getaway, a bad performer, as favorite. He broke twice badly, but made a bruising finish with Mi6S-in-Law. In the seonnd heat Miss-ln-Law led all the way by an open length, Getaway breaking so badly that he narrowly escaped the flag. The first heat of the 2:10 trot was eaBy for Zephyr, and the seoond heat was equally eaBy for Norman B., owing to Zephyr's bad break. NO RACING SATCHDAY. Rain fell again on Saturday, preventing any racing whatever and the association deoided to settle the 2:06 paoe and 2:10 trot according to the standing of the horses the day before. The finish of the Consolation Wild Horses May Be Shot in Colorado. Stockmen of Routt and Rio Blanco counties, in the Western part of Colorado, for several years have been trying to get rid of a big band of wild horses that inhabit the extreme northwestern part of the State and are the cause of endless trouble, says the Denver Record-Stockman. It is claimed that there are at least 4000 head in the numerous bands that roam that section, and every horse that once gets loose adds to the number. It is claimed that mares even break away from fenced pastures when the call of the' wild comes from the stallion leading one of these bands, and once they get in one of these wild bunches they are hopelessly lost :nd the wholesale taking of small and under-sized fish vitb Illegal sized mesh nets and also set nets will in he near future make Btriped bass but a memory. As an Instance, there waB about a dczen fishermen n San Antone slough last Sunday, the fishcaught did ot average one to the rod. Al M. Cumming got one mall fish on Sunday and nothing on Saturday. This reek was a splendid bass fishing resort four and five earB ago, even up to two years ago, but the net men ave about cleaned it out. The Millwood Gun Club shoot at Mill Valley last Sunday was a notable meet in one respect and that was the shooting of Mr. Van Norden, who ran up a score of over 50 cdnsecutive breaks and was high gun throughout the day. He started in by winning the opening event, a freeze out shoot, breaking 9 targets, Haas and Newlands broke 8 each. Event 2, the medal race, was won by R. Haas, who scored 20 breaka, Van Norden was a tie for second place in this race. In the cup event Van Norden broke 23 out of 27 and won the race, Lockwood was second high gun. In event 4, sealed conditions, at 20 targets, he was tied by Price on 18 breaks. In the shoot off he won with a 10 straight. In the final race of the day, a continuous break shoot, he rolled up a run of 31 breaks. The prior score of Haas, 13 breaks, stood for all of the past season, and was believed would win out but the run of 31 eclipsed everything else and will no doubt remain unbeaten for the club season of 3905. Van also received the club cash prize of $10 for a straight of 25 targets or better. A summary of scores shot follows: Medal event, 25 targets— R. Haas 20. R Van Norden 18, W. Johnson IS, Mr. Lockwood 17, G. Collins, Sr. 15, B. Patrick 15, G. Collins, Jr. 14, C. Ashlin 12, G. T. Wayman 12, Mr. Mastick 12, H. Wagner 9.

The Petaluma Blue Rock Gun Club held a shoot at Kanliworth Park on July 23d. The following scores at 20 targets were made: E. E. Drees 18, J. Doss 13, J. Lopus 12, J. Clark 1, T. Mego 17, Northrup 14, Dr. Hall 10, E. O. Webb 8, T. Jarvis 16. B. Chapman 13, BartA.yers9, Frank Doss 8, M. Frederickson 11, L. Solomani 8, A. Solamini 7, J. Stieger 11, Potter 7. The open to all shoot at the Hunters' Inn near San Leandro on August 13th will probably draw a large attendance of shooters. The merchandise shoot will be the main feature of the day. Shooters will be handicapped according to ability, limit 25 targets. High guns will take choice of prizes One re-entry will be allowed, best score to count. In case of ties, shooters will shoot off at the original handicap for gun only, and if still tie, miss and out All other ties will be decided by lot. En- trance $1, including price of targets, 16 yards rise. Other events will be arranged. All targets will be trapped at one cent per target. In the merchandise shoot the principal prize is a Remington hammerless shotgun. A variety of articles valued at over $75 and about $50 in cash will also be distributed among the winning guns. Tbos. L. Lewis, Secretary of the Union Gun Club will manage the shoot. A. E. McKenzie, president of the Denver Gun Club and W. D Burgess, a prominent trap shot of Omaha were in Salt Lake recently. When the two cracks got together tbey decided to have a little fun at the traps. Soon several congenial fellows were hunted up and the bunch adjourned to the trap grounds to shoot for the "championship of the universe." McKenzie reDresented Colorado, Burgess, Nebraska; Jack Sharp, Nevada, and Uncle John Sharp, Utah. Hce are the results: Practice shoot, 25 targets- John F. Sharp 11100 11111 11111 11111 11111-23 Swem 01011 00011 01111 11111 11111-19 Parker 11111 OHIO 11111 1110! 1 11 H in — 19 "Harry" 01010 01010 10000 00111 11011-12 Malch shoot, 25 targets- John N Sharp.Jr 11110 11110 00111 11111 11011-20 McKenzie 11111 11101 01 in mil 11111—23 Burgess urn urn ooin inn 11111-23 "Uncle John" Sharp. .. 11001 lllll mil 11111 11111-23 Most of the shooters, and particularly the California contigent, who were present at tbe recent Northwest Tournament at Portland, Or., say many kind things about the members of tbe Multnomah Rod and Gun Club, and praise and commend their hospitality and good fellowship generally. The efforts of a monthly publication to belittle the Portland shoot by imaginary and frivolous dialogue, attributed to several local sportsmen, are uncalled for anri tend to place the alleged speakers in a false position. Whatever the writer's opinion of a flairs at Portland, he could have expressed the same legitimately with- out prejudice to third parties. While it is conceded that there was a hitch, here and there, in tbe Portland shoot, the Webfooters more than made amends for a few drawbacks and these were not any greater than baB been the ex- perience of every trapshooter of several seasons at- tention to the sport. " The officers of the Grants Paps Gun Club are R L Bartlett, president; Tbnmas Harvey, secretary; AC Hough, treasurer and T J Armstrong, captain, and there is a membership of 20. Tbe club has fine grounds leased in the Tuffs grove- on which they have recently erected a comfortable club house 14x36 feet. A fine well of water is in the grove and it ie a delightful place for an outing. The arrangement 'or trap shooting is perfect, with good light and back- ground. The club intends to hold another big tour- nament on their grounds in October. The Blue Rock Gun Club of Alameda will shoot on the High Street grounds to-morrow. The last clay-pigeon match of the Honolulu Gun Club for the season was held June 25th at the gun club quarters in Manoa valley. A large crowd of gun enthusiasts was present and some fairly good shooting was done, so writes an Island sportsman. At noon the order to cease firiDg was given by the general in command, or at least the board of strategy comprising H. E. Gares, K. B. Porter and Irwin Spalding, and an excellent lunch was partaken of There was fine chowder, potato salad, ham, sau=age pickles, bread and butter and cold beer. Mrs J w' Harvey acted as hostess for the club. Keen interest was displayed in all the events, and there was a prodigious amount of ammunition dis- charged at the targets, and much of it wasted. Even some of the best shots of the club were not at their best, failing to score when it was expected of them. There was one interesting shoot-off between W E Hall and H. E. Gares. They had tied in the general match and then decided to shoot off for five birds. Each broke four and tied again. The next five gave each three, the next two, the next one, and finally Mr. Wall made one bird after Mr. Gares had scored goose eggs in his five shots. J. W. Harvey and K. B. Porter were, as usual, up toward the head. In fact, it is hard to beat Harvey. E. I. Spalding made some fine records, and Mr. Lanz, in spite of some waste of ammunition, did fine shooting at times. On July 1, the dove season opened, and the members of the gun club will temporarily desert the traps for the keener sport of shooting at real birds on the wing. Large shooting parties were expected to hunt over the island on Saturday and Sunday, July 1st and 2nd. Mrs. W. F. Sheard of Tacoma, won marked honors at the twenty-first annual tournament of tbe Sports- men's Association of the Northwest. Mrs. Sheard was one of several lady shooters in the tournament, she won tne women 's championship of the association, defeating all competitors in her class. She also took the women's high average and by her performance is the champion feminine trap shot of the Northwest. Mrs. Sheard shares with her husband his distinction as a champion shot. She is known as the best woman shot in the Northwest. She has participated in many tournaments throughout that territory and like Mr. Sheard is the holder of many medals. There was not a very large attendance at the regular shoot of the Santa Rosa Gun Club held at Leddy station, July 30th. The Laflin & Rand cup event was won by Guiltnan for the day as well as on a back score for July. The scores were as follows: Laflin & Rand cup race, target handicap, 25 possible, 16 yards— Monroe, 28 targets, broke 19; Guiltnan, 29- 24; Elmonds, 28-15; Morrow, 28-19; Fehrman, 27-17; Hesse, 26-22. Back scores: Fehrman, 27-21; Guilt- nan, 30-23; Monroe, 28-19. The medal shoot followed and was won by Hesse while Guiltnan won for July 9 on a back score. The scores were: Monroe, 18 yards, 28 targets, broke 18; Febimnn, 20 yards, 25-11; Monroe, 18 yards, 28-16; Hesse, 18 yards, 28-26. Back scores: Monroe, 16 yards, 30-22. The Interstate shoot to be held at Ingleside, Sep- tember 15, 16 and 17, it is safe to say, will be the big- gest blue rock tournament ever held west of the Mississippi river. The meeting will be under the auspices of the In- terstate Association, of which Mr. Irby C. Bennett, a popular and prominent Eastern sportsman, is Presi- dent. Elmer E. Shaner of Pittsburg, Pa., a gentle- man of notable experience in trap shooting (unctions and eseeemed by the Eastern shotgun fraternity for his genial personality and executive abilities will manage the shoot — and this selection argues a suc- cessfully conducted teap shoot that will be attended by 200 or more shooters. Tbe programmed events for each day will be open to amateurs only. About $1500 added money has al- ready been subscribed. The division of moneys will be determined by the number of entries. The regular events, will probably, be 15 and 20 target races. The Preliminary Handicap will be at 100 targets as will the Pacific Coast Handicap. The handicaps will be in yards and arranged by a committee, appointed by President Bennett, composed of: M. J. Iverson, San Francisco: Guy Lovelace, Los Angeles; W. H. Varlen, Pacific Grove; Maurice Abrahams, Portland and W. H. MeBroom, Spokane. The Preliminary Handicap trophy will be worth $50, the Pacific Coast Handicap trophy Is valued at $100. Tbe program is now with tbe printers and will probably be out and ready for distribution by tbe 14th inst. Ingleside grounds will be arranged to accommodate as large a gathering of trap shooters as anticipated may attend. The Eastern representation will be a strong one, as will that from the Northwest, with a fair number from British Columbia. Five sets of traps will be put In at Ingleside, includ- ing a straight bulkhead, and these will also be In readiness for the shooters. The regular events will be shot on the Sargeant system. Targets will cost 2} cents each and will be deducted from the purses. Arrangements have been made to have large and handsome electrlo cars ready for shooters each day at Market and Second Btreets. Cars will leave at 8. 8:30 and 9 a. m ; returning at Intervals during the after- noon. Round trip tickets will be 25 cents. Tbe trip of tbe shooters' cars to tbe grounds, or return, will take about 35 minutes.

County Laws Knocked Out. ©tte gveei>ev ani> &p*irismcm [AUGUST 5, 1905 According to a decision handed down by the Court of Appeals July 29th, the sportsmen of Los Angeles cDunty have won a sweeping victory over the county supervisors. The court has decided that all other laws than the State game laws are unconstitutional; in other words, that county supervisors have no right or authority to enact special laws to suit the local conditions, the State law being the only recognized law for every county of the State. Instead of having only one day for dove shooting, August loth, accord- ing to an ordinance passed by the supervisors when the question of game laws came up for consideration several weeks ago, Los Angeles sportsmen will now be allowed to shootdoves from July 1st to February 15th Toe open season of last year was from July 15th to °Theedecision was the result of the Los Angeles Supervisors passing an ordinance limiting dove shoot- fn/w one dSy, August 15th. A test case was made of*the matter and taken into court with the result that sportsmen will now have the full season. The "sact rights of County Supervisors in the matter of "monkeying" with the State game laws is MiCbSl^»D. Prindleof Los Angeles was arrested bv Game Warden Morgan in the ban Fer- nando valley and charged witb having violated the county gaJe law by shooting doves in the closed season The State law opened up sport July 1st. He was convicted by a J ustice of the Peace. There has been much sentiment among southern sportsmen over the county game law changes which have been characterized variously as Ill-advised and unnecessary. As nearly every county in bouthern Camornia has a different set of laws, sportsmen are completely at sea, and in most cases cannot find out the law even by writing to the county officials, as a result of the frequent changes. Believing, therefore, that only evil could come of a continuance of these periodical county game law changes, and feeling that the State has taken very good care of the game, the Los Angeles County Pro- tective Association instructed its attorneys to defend Mr Prindleasalegalform for establishing and de- fining the rights of the Supervisors to pass game laws. Convicted, Mr. Prindle's case came up before the District Court of ADDeals in due course of law, and by habeas corpus proceedings it would have been brought io the immediate attention of the State Supreme Court, so that shootersm-ght know their fate before the "sooner;," of which there seems an abnormal crop have killed off all the doves while the law- abiding sportsmen are sweltering in the city. The Prlndle case affects every county in California. Theie has always been much doubt in good lawyers minds as to the validity of the county ordinances if vigorously fought by competent legal talent, and the Prindle case will now probably establish their status beyond furtherquibble. The rather paradoxical spectacle of a game and fish protective association attacking a game law is ex- plained by the belief of most conservative protection- ists that incalculable harm has been done thecause by ill-advised and incompetent legislation, inflicting undeserved hardships on sportsmen in some sections, and placing a premium upon violations by keeping the law-abiding ones home when the country is full of SDOrtlng material as at present. One good game law, and that enforced, is the slogan of the protectionists. m — Season Opens for Deer Hunters. The open Beason for hunting and killing bucks be. ean on Tuesday last. The outlook for a successful hunt In nearby hills was favorable, so far as the deer were concerned, for they were reported to be plenti fill In Marin county. Weather conditions prevailed ,n that section, however, that were not conduoive to success. On TueBday and Wednesday a heavy fog hung over the Marin hills, on Thursday it rained. The coast Jog made hunting both difficult and dangerous. , ., _ .. Results however, were by no means nil. On the Country Club preserve Mr. Van Stcklen dropped a buck that Boaled 115 pounds dressed. He got the deer on the run with a long shot. Andrew Jackson bagged a buok that weighed 150 pouodp, one of the flne«t shot on the preserve for years. Sheriff Taylor two of bis sons and three friends hunted over the Codonl, Cheda and Jewell ranches. Thev bagged a fine forked horn. Tne huut was brought to a close when the dogs refused to run by reason jo! tbe bad weather. A two pointer was killed on the Point Reyes Sportsmen's Club preserve! The turnont in Marin county will be a large one todav and tomorrow many of the different club mem- bers having postponed their hunt from the first until The deer season in Mendocino county closes Septem- ber 15th. ., Hew A. K. C. Rules. On August 1st the following new'A. K. C. rules and changes took effect and are now in force. They are of importance and in view of the coming Coast shows in the near future, we deem it of interest to the fancy to give them in this issue: VI If a do°- has been entered without being iden- tified' as directed in Rules IV. and V., it shall be dis- qualified and forfeit any prize which may be awarded to it. except in the case of technical errors where fraud is not shown, in which case the Secretary shall impose a fine of $2 for each entry. CLASSES. 2 The novice class shall be for Americanbred dogs only, never having won a first prize at any recognized show, wins in the puppy classes excepted. 5 The Winners' Class shall be open only to the winners of first prizes in any class at tne show, giving at least three of" the before-mentioned classes, one of which must be the Open Class Winners' Classes can not be allowed where two or more breeds are com- bined The judge shall withhold the award of first in this class should he be of the opinion that there is no dog of sufficient merit to justify such award, and the winner of ten points in this class, "under three different judges, excepting, however, at five-point shows, when two wins under different judges will be sufficient," will thereby become a champion of record, be «o registered by the American Kennel Club, and If registered in the Stud Book will be entitled to an American Kennel Club champion medal. Duplicate medals for champions cannot be issued. Before awarding "reserve" in this class, the dog or dogB havino- been placed second to the winner in any of the classes must be brought before the judge for com- petition with the remaining dogs in said Winners Class No class winner can be withdrawn or withheld from competition in the Winners' Class, and no entry fee shall be charged for said competition in this class. A dog that, prior to June 1, 1904, may have won in the Winners' Class under the ten-point rule shall qualify as a champion upon the completion of ten Joints Tbe Winners' Class can be divided by sex, provided the required three classes announced in the premium list are also divided by sex. XXIV. The Superintendent of any show cannot exhibit or officiate as a judge at that show of the Executive Comrrittee, by two-thirds vote of the member Dresent, or at any SDecial meeting on notice. Provided, however, that Sections 3 and 4 can only be altered or amended after notice of 6uch alteration or amendment has been published in the Gazette prior to being acted upon, and by a two-thirds vote of the members represented. DOINGS IN DOGDOM. STOCKTON SHOW. A three day show for the Stockton Kennel Club and the dates the club will apply for are October 19th, 20th and 21st. It is safe to venture the statement that the Santa Cruz judge, Harry W. Lacy, we are told, will do most of the judging at Stockton. It is also within the possibilities that George A. Cranfield will judge Greyhuonds. Mr. Cranfield judged the breed at the S. F. K. C show 1902, when there was about 150 entries — the largest class of Greyhounds ever shown on this side of the Atlantic. Further there is a strong sentiment to have one breed judged by a lady "who is regarded as one of tbe experts of the Coast" in the particular breed, Cockers it is rumored. The Stockton Club and the bench show proposition are getting along swimiogly. Letters have been re- ceived f-om many fanciers outside of Stockton and San Joaquin county. Entries are promised from 'Frisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz, Sacramento and other points. A drawback, but only a temporary one it is to be hoped, is the lack of a suitable building or hall In Stockton at present. This problem may be solved bv showing the dogs in a tent or under a canvass covereb framework erected for the purpose. Whatever tbe difficulty for the pre'ent, it is an assurance that the Stockton fanciers will overcome it in a satisfactory manner. George E. McLeod, who has done so much for tbe new club has resigned the club presidency. Absence from Stockton aDd urgent business affairs prompted a step that was not entertained favorably by tbe club members. Mr. F. N Vail wassele:ted to fill tbe office made vacant by Mr. McLeod Mr. Vail is an enthus- iastic fancier and a gentleman of strong executive abilities and is well able to pilot the club into smooth sailiog watets The list of specials will be a large one, many hand- some and valuable trophies having been already of fered. The premium list is in ihe hands of the bench show committee and tbe prospect for a fine show at Stockton in October, we are pleased to state, is a most propitious one. ■ ■ NEW RULES AND CHANGES GOVERNING CLUBS HOLDING SHOWS.

Goat, says the Department of As tare, in a bulletin recently i6Sued— goat, common garden goat, suppliee a c erable part of the ''lamb" and "mutton" handled by the great packing houeee and sold by the wholesaler and retailers all over "the country. Expert Thompson, who has conducted the goat investigation, reflects as follows in his report upon goat as a table delicacy : It is generally agreed upon by those who speak from experience that the kids of all breeds of goats are a table delicacy. It is true that among the great masseB of the people of this country there is a re- markable and well-grounded prejudice against anything bearing the name of goat. Within the environments of the larger cities are found many kids, and it is evi- dent that only a few of them ever grow to muturity. What becomes of the rest? Butchers and meat dealers answer thiB question by saying that they are sold as lamb. Xo meat dealer has ever heard a complaint against the quality of such lamb. A considerable number of middle-aged and old mongrel goats are purchased by the packing-houses of the large cities. They are purchased as goat, but are sold as mutton, and many of those who so strenuously condemn goat have eaten it a Fcore of times. Mr. Thompson adds that the elderly goat is not as good as good mutton, but that it is not any worse than bad mutton. He insistB that the prejudice against it would disappear if people would only make a test and eat goat as goat instead of as lamb. He is not very hopeful, how- ever, of such a result. He started upon his goat report with the purpose of answering the numerous inquiries which have reached the bureau as to the possi- bility of creating a goat industry in the United States. It was while incidentally remarking upon the present size of the industry that he made the startling state- ments which confound our morning lamb with goat chops. Mr. Thompson says that the inquiries as to the possible creation of a new in- dustry in the United States came princi- pally from persons with considerable capital, a good deal of worthless land and plenty of time to think. He believes that when these people learn that the United States imports $20,000,COO worth of goat skinB annually and that conditions in this country are extremely favorable for goat-raising, they will surely sit up and take notice. The bulletin devotes considerable space to explaining that tbe term "common goat" does not indicate any special breed and ie not meant to be contemptuous, but that it covers all sortB of mongrel goats, without regard to size, c nfirmation, color or character. According to Mr. Thomp- son there are about 2.000,000 goats in the United States, 700,000 of which can recog- nize their parents. New York has 1316 within its borders, as compared with 700,- 000 for TexaB. Rhode Island can boast of only 23. They are all common goats, but 22 of them Mr. Thompson Bays, have risen in the social scale and now furnish the motive power for a similar number of go-carts. The twenty-third has a bad reputation. Mr. Thompson further reports that after an exhaustive study be is able to say that a common goat can eat as many different thinge within a given Bpace of time as an Angora goat, and that it is certainly foolish to employ a force of men to clear a tract of land at a cost of from $5 to HO an acre when a goat will do it for nothing and be glad of the chance. In regard to breeding, the Angora is given to triplets, while the common goat sticks to twlnB. The twins usually arrive a good deal oftener, however, and consequently the more common kids than the Angora or other registered stock enter the lamb and mutton markets every year. Correct Way of Milking. It would be better for the reputatian of dairymen could the milkers be induced to milk with clean hands, declares H. O. Curtis in writing to the Jersey Bul- ;our and tainted milk is too com- mon with us during the summer and autumn months, and it is a difficult task, under the most favorable conditions, to have the milk free from taint. Not only has the dairyman to combat taints from feeds in the fall, but the cows will get dirt on their udders and teats, and from these it gets into the milk pail because most men milk with wet hands. What- ever the milker has been handling before milking leaves a taint and bacteria on tbe hands, and, of course, it is washed off into the milk; the result is that one day's cream, or one day's churning, is different in bouquet and flavor from another. The buttermaker will tell us be con- trols the flavor with another kind of bac- teria, but there is something more potent than the buttermaker's Bpecial species of butter culture, and it is what gets into tne milk ahead of the man at the churn. is already stated, it is tbe dirt on the cow's udder that ie causing a riot among the different kinds of living organisms in the milk. When a scientific buttermaker gets on his ear about some taint that is puzzling him he makes a fermentation test and locates it nine times out of ten, but that is no reason whv carelessness should be practiced all the time in milk- ing. The consumer of milk in the city gets hold of some of this tainted and impure milk, and he blames the dairy from which it came. The city man does not care one iota whether the milk came from John, Jacob or Isaac, so long as it is good and rich. Ent, what is "good and rich" milk? There is going to be a dif- ferent definition as to what is "good" for the human family and what is not good, according to some modern medical authori- ties. But, whatever that may amount to, it is not what we want. The crying need is plenty of clean, wholesome milk, and it cannot be had unless milkers milk with dry bands. Poor Fowls Do Not Pay. It does not pay to keep mongrel fowls. No one can afford to keep poor fowls when there are better oneB to be had. The business in cost is a mere bagatelle when compared with the profits during the season. Some barnyard fowls are all right, but they are sadly in the minority. One~reason ?hy the thoroughbreds pay so much better is that they are uniform. Their habits are similar and a flock may be treated more as a unit. To get the most from fowls it is necessary to study their individuality. This cannot be done with mongrels because each one is dif- ferent, but it can be done easily in a collective manner with thoroughbred fowls because they feed alike and their habits are much in the same families, but the difference is along certain pre- scribed lines and easily adjusted. There are three general claBses of fowls. Asiatics are especially valuable for meat, they correspond with beef breeds of cattle for beef. For eggs the Mediterraneans are especially valuable for they have been bred along lines of production in this especial clasB, until their capacity for converting food into eggs ie almost mar- velous. The American fowls fit in between the Mediterranean and Asiatics. The Ameri- can breeds are good layers and they are all large enough to furnish suitable meat for the table. They are active in summer time and for this reason are classed among the most valuable fowls for tbe farm. They may be termed general purpose fowls and claesed very much as general purpose cowe. Under certain conditions they are more valuable than especial breeds that require careful looking after to develop their greatest production along prescribed lineB. For farmers' use probably one of the American breeds of solid color gives the best general satisfaction. That is, on nine farms out of ten a good medium white hen will forage for herEelf and lay more eggs than a carefully bred layiDg strain. ThiB doeB not necessarily mean that a thoroughbred American fowl will do well under a system of neglect, but Bhe will give good results with less care than some of the great layers or great meat producers. The LeghornB cannot be classed as general purpose fowls, because they do not hatch their own eggB. A general purpose fowl must be good for everything that is required of the hen. She must lay agoodly number of eggs, taka on flesh when wanted for the proper season. In addition to this tbey are valuable when the motherly instinct prompts them to take good care of the small fry. — Stockman Journal. - m Regulations for Shipping Live Stock. Washington', July 28 — Regulations for the shipment of live Btock under the twenty-eigbt-hour law in the matter of feed and rest of stock in transit were com- pleted today by the Department of Agri- culture. The recommendations as to the department's attitude on the question were prepared by Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, and approved by Sectetary WiUon, are as follows : "The statute provides for the shipment of live Btock without unloading en-roate under certain conditions. I have in- vestigated the subject and would re- spectfully recommend that the depart- ment approve aB being in compliance with the statute all shipments of cattle in transit for more than twenty-eight consecutive hours made under the follow- ing conditions : "First, that the cars containing the cattle shall be equipped with hay racks, each lineal foot of which shall have a capacity of not less than one cubic foot extending along the sides of the cars from the doors to the end, and that the cars shall be bo arranged that the racks may be readily filled with hay through openings in the car roof. "Second, that the cars shall be fitted with semi-cylindrical watering troughB of galvanized iron not lesB than fifteen inches deep by not less than twelve incheB wide across the top, inside measurement, with tbe inner edge curved to retain the water and facilitate filling. The trough is to be placed in proper position along the side of the errs and extend from the doors to the end. All troughs are to be bo arranged that they can be readily filled with water and emptied on the outside of the car, and the troughs be kept free from all litter and filth. "Third, food and water to be supplied at intervals not exceeding twenty-eight hours, while the BhipmentB are in transit, and in supplying water each car to be stopped for at least five minutes, during which time the troughs shall be kept filled with clear water, and all animals given an opportunity to drink. "Fourth, in order that the cattle may have sufficient space and opportunity to rest the cars shall not be overloaded, and in all shipments there shall be room in each car for at least one-third of the cattle to lie down at the same time. The num- ber of head of cattle that may be carried in a thirty-six-foot car is shown in the following table, according to the live weight: Average live weight and head for thirty- six-foot car respectively. 700, 23; 800, 22; 900, 21 ; 1000, 20 ; 1100, 19 ; 1200, 18 : 1300, 17; 1400, 16; 1500, 16; 1600, 14; 1700, 13; 1800, 12. _ What Prime Butchers Are. muBt show marked evidence of ripene and maturity.

We agree that for »i pure bred animal it would haye been i good thing to have had it juBt right, but of the two — a white foot or a profitable meat making form — we would certainly have greater admiration for the form.

Many . beginner has spent money, labor and ^ime trying different breeds before the >ne has been found that was beet adapted 0 his situation and requirements. 1 It is known that certain breeds have 'ualities peculiar to themselves, as for nstance Wyandottes excel as broilers ; Leghorns aB egg producers; BrahmaB in esh and weight; white Plymouth Rocks pproach nearest to the beet all purpose jwls, and so on. Besides this, however, c would appear that every man or woman ;ho has a liking for poultry keeping has ome one breed with which they would be lore successful than with any other, 'hey Eeem to understand this breed etter, push it to the best advantage and om it obtain the beBt results. Even •hen two or more breeds are kept, one •ill usually be the favorite. There is ttle doubt that the poultry keepers who re making the moBt, and are the most iccessful are the ones that are specialists itn one particular breed. While the situation of the place on hich poultry is to be kept should never s lost Bight of by the beginner, its iaptability to certain requirements as > whether eggs, broilers or market jultry would bring the best results, still ter all it is in perfecting a breed that e most money is made in the end, and lerefore the taste and liking of a beginner mating a choice of a breed should play i important part. In perfecting a breed and in its right re, handling and management so that ock and eggs can be sold to other ociers, one is not brought into active mpetition with every farmer or keeper •' a few hens, as is the case in the Bale • eggs or market poultry. Therefore in le lines of thiB special endeavor better isults can be obtained. ft would seem then that after the special iquirements of the situation are taken i:o consideration, it would be best to coose that breed which one likes the ht or those that approach nearest to t!se requirements. 13 WESTCHESTER RAGING ASSOCIATION Under the An,plces o, Tne Jockey Clab and National Steeplechase and Hunt Asaoclat.on Race course.

Dairy and Food Commissioner Warren of Pennsylvania informs President Roose- velt that oleo colt red with azo, a poison- ous coal tar dve, has been sold for the best dairy butter to all the United States ships, the cjmp, marine barracks and hospital at League Island for many montbs. He also charged that the United States officers had knowledge of this oleo traffic as far back as March 25th. Two samples of supposed butter taken on board the receiving ship Lancaster, and one on the battleship Massachusetts were found to be colored oleomargarine, as also were the samples taken from the bar- racks and the aun boat Scorpion. It is understood that the contract with the federal government, under which this oleomargarine is furnished, expressly stipulates for fresh butter, "extra cream- ery." If tbiB is so the government is not getting under this contract what it has a right to get, and what the contractor agreed to furnish, but a much cheaper and inferior article, and is thus being defrauded. Sot only that, but an unfair advantage is being taken of honest bidders for this contract. Mr. Warren, in a detailed letter to the President, said: "Our department in this matter is acting with the single purpose of protecting the public from fraud, and to protect the dairy interests of the state, and we cannot proceed ourselves, as it is a violation of the United States statute, and the only effective way to accomplish the purpose we have in mind is through a prosecution by the federal government. " The President at once called a confer- ence at which were Commissioner War- ren and the attorney for the dairy and food commission of Pennsylvania. The meeting was presided over by President Roosevelt, who assured the dairymen that the matter would receive prompt consideration by the proper officials of the federal government, a ter which an order for a complete investigation by the navy department was made.— Ezthange- o Quality in Native Steers. The principal cause of lack of quality among home-bred steers is not due so much to lack of infusion of pure blood as to the indiscriminate admixture of the blood of breeds of both beef and fatly types. The practice of shifting frequently from one line of meat production to another, or from meat making to dairying, with the ups and downs of the markets, has brought with it disastrous result?. It is this practice which has led to more or less breeding back and forth of the same females to beef or dairy sires and the con- sequent production of mixed types. In shifting from one line of meat production to another while the few may make so- called lucky hits, in general the practice is disastrous, if we are to succeed we must adhere tenaciously to fixed lines of production. The individual who can speedily and successfully adapt himself to radical changeB is extremely rare. We desire to issue a word of warning concern purchase of young cattle for grazing or feeding from dealers who occasionally pick up so called bargains in stock. o Sober up on Jackson's Napa Soda.

I San Francisco, Saturday, August 12, 1905 A RACING LAW is needed in California and the wners, breeders and trainers of harness horses should nite in an effort to have a reasonable statute gov- rning racing passed at the next session of the Legis- iture. One has only to read the daily press to know hat all over this country, except in those States !>here such laws are in force, the harness meetings re being interfered with, and will continue so to be, nless horsemen organize for the protection of their nterests. It is perfectly plain to all that this fight : gainst betting on speed contests was not inaugurated 1 ,o suppress harness racing, but has been instigated Ln account of the long continued running meetings I nd the presence of pool rooms. Ohio, Illinois, Mis- ouri, Indiana, New Jersey and many other States iave laws prohibiting betting on horse races, and ■hese laws were passed with the sole purpose of clos- 'ig the pool rooms and stopping the running meet- ras which had fallen into the hands of, and were leing conducted by race track gamblers. "We do not * Relieve there is a community in the United States I '.'here a week of clean racing would not be welcome, 's nine-tenths of the people love good horses and njoy seeing them race, but if the pool rooms and ookmakers' meetings can be suppressed in no other ay than by prohibiting all betting, then these com- munities will willingly agree to such prohibition, as he sentiment of the majority of the people in this ountry is that race track gambling is an evil that lust be checked. The time has passed for argument hat betting on horse races is no greater evil than ambling in wheat or other futures. The thing for orse owners and breeders to do is to recognize the ituation. _A bill that would limit racing in any ounty in the State to thirty days in the year, and . lake auction and mutual pools the only system of etting, with a certain percentage on the amount I ;agered to go to charity or the support of agricul- ural fairs, would meet with favor among the people, 'here would be strong opposition to it in certain cir- les but with the united aid of the harness horsemen nd others, there would be little trouble in making it 1 law. bench of San Joaquin County, where he served until 1S74. Judge Greene resigned and went to Oakland in 1875, where he followed his profession until 1S79, when he was elected Superior Judge. Election after election followed with Judge Greene always returned by a large vote. A year or so ago his health began to fail and he- slowly declined. At times a serious throat trouble gave his family cause for grave alarm, but he resisted the encroachment of the disease with the strong will that was characteristic of the man. Judge "Greene married Isabelle Webster fn 1869. He lost his wife in 1S93, and his high devotion to his family has been one of his chief characteristics. Four children survive him — Mr*. J. B. R. Cooper of Mon- terey, Mrs. Lathrop W. Jewett of San Francisco, Carl- ton W. Greene, also of this city, and Laurence L. Greene, deputy prosecuting attorney of Oakland. Cherishing a great love for the trotting horse, Judge Greene had been a breeder of fine stock since his boyhood. He brought the stallion Winthrop 505 to this State in 1870, and always owned a few well bred trotting mares that he mated to the best stallions in the State. He was a close friend of the late Count Valensin and acted as one of the executors of that gentleman's estate, sending the stallion Sidney and a number of other horses from the Valensin farm to New York, where they were sold by the lat*e Peter C. Kellogg. Among the horses bred by Judge Greene was that good winner and fast trotter Judge Greene 2:09 which East View Farm leased and raced, and was named by Monroe Salisbury for his owner when making the entries." Many other horses with records, and stallions and mares that have produced standard speed were bred by Judge Greene.* He was a grand character — one of those straightforward, dignified, yet approachable, men who attracted men to him by his cordial manner, and commanded their respect by his unswerving rectitude. His death is a loss to Cali- fornia. WHILE WE BELIEVE that wagering on speed con- tests is no crime, and when indulged in, as it is at county fairs and short meetings, is a clean, legitimate sport, we take no stock in the argument raised by some that harness racing cannot be conducted without it. For proof of this the following from that reliable journal, the Western Horseman, is good testimony: "That one's loss is another's gain was never truer than is the case iri the present situation in harness horse racing. The anti-pool selling crusade is hard on many trotting associations, but it will prove a har- vest for the county.- district and State fair associa- tions, most of which never have pool selling in con- nection-with their races. The inevitable effect of the interference with the strictly racing meetings will be a great rush of horses to the fair meetings at which good purses- are.-, offered in the speed department. This will draw greater crowds to the fairs, and hence gr.ea.tlj* help 11k- fair associations financially." THE DEATH of Hon. William Ellsworth Greene, Superior Judge of Alameda County, California, which ccurred in this city early Monday evening of this reek, has removed from this earthly sphere one of he leading jurists of California, and one who had evoted much time and thought to the breeding of he trotting horse, a love for that noble animal having ■een acquired by him when a boy in the State of laine, of which he was a naitve. Judge Greene was Superior Judge of Alameda County at the time of his eath and had occupied a place on the bench there or twenty-five years. He was born in Farmington, fe., November 14, 1836. He was educated in the ublic schools and was graduated from Bowdoin Col- ;ge, one of New England's famous institutions. In 863 he came to California and taught in the public 3hools of Stoctkon for a short time, following that sperience by entering the legal profession. During le Presidential campaign of 1864 Judge Greene took n active part in this State, touring San Joaquin ounty for the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. From ie birth of the Republican party he was an ardent artisan, although his subsequent elevation to the ench precluded much further public effort in that irection. In 1865 he was elected to the Assembly •om San Joaquin County and in the Legislature voted a. the amendment to the constitution of the United tates abolishing slavery. For two years . afterward e practiced law and In 1SC3 took, his seat on the HORSES SHOLTLD BE EDUCATED to meet an automobile on the road or elsewhere without fright. fThe devil wagons have come to stay, and the horse owner -who is wise will see that his horses are accus- tomed to the noise and smell of the machines, and (does not fear them in the daylight or when they are approaching him at night with headlights looking like the glaring eyeballs of the fierce Numidian lion. The motors have come to stay and every intelligent horse breeder will recognize this fact and also the one that they have not nor will not lessen the de- mand for good horses. As horses in the city are of little value that are afraid of motor vehicles of any kind, so horses in the country will not find ready sale if they are afraid of steam or electric cars or the benzine buggies. Electricity is moving car lines all through the country where steam cars cannot go except at great expense, and the country horse, to be of value, must now be "city broke and fearless of all objects." The wise owner, who cares for his own safety and that of his family, or who expects to real- ize the worth of a horse when offering him for sale, will see that he is made familiar with automobiles in all their various speeds, culors and sizes, as well as odoriferous variety. It is the condition of their presence and not the theory of their being a nuisance that confronts the horse owner at the present time. Ed Geers bred find still owns Walter Direct 2:05?$. iind he is thought to be faster than his famous sire. Direct Hal. which won more money in a sing] son than any harness horse that ever raced. Going slow, Walter has a rolling, tumbling, nodding way of going that makes one think he is lame; but such Is not the 'case: Many of the best pacers have had the same characteristic. Joe Patchcn, old Hal Pointer. Direct Hal and John M. were not the "oil-in-the-can" sort, going slow; but, oh my, when they got straight- ened out, how they could slip along! HOOF BEATS See Zolock pace at Santa Rosa: The meeting opens on Wednesday next. The track record will surely he broken. Railroad tickets can be had at reduced rates. Winning speed is worth money. An offer of $30,000 has been refused for Sadie Mac 2:06^. Well, Brother Griffin, Sweet Marie "bears the ban- ner of recuperation" all right, doesn't she? Mr. Pickering of Pittsburg, owner of- Dr. Strong 2:06 refused an offer of §12,000 for him last week. Trainer Stinson, who drives Sadie Mac 2.06M. in all her races, is a brother of Dr. J. C. Stinson of this city. A syndicate of Detroit horsemen made Ed Geers an offer of $20,000 for, Walter Direct, but the silent man declined the offer. A finely matched pair of geldings 15.3 hands high is advertised for sale by T. C. Cabney. The adver- tisement apears in this issue. Stiletto by Stein way, dam Nola by Nutwood, re- duced his record to 2:14% in the second heat of a race which he won in straight heats at Readville, Mass., August 5th. A. Mastin of Sacramento- advertises two fine stal- lions for sale — John A. 2:12Y2 and Guy Carlton, one of the best bred colts in America and paid up iu the Occident Stake. A standard bred son of Mendocino is offered for sale at a reasonable figure. Weighs close to 1100 pounds and has trotted in 2:18%. See M. M. Don- nelly's ad in this issue. A San Francisco man who owns a. trotting mare has decided to call her Reciprocity. He says he has spent a lot of money to make her go, and she recipro- cates by making his money go. McKinney stallions are in demand more and more. A well-bred and fine individual by this great sire is a'dvertised in our columns for sale at a low price by Dan Redmond at San Jose. All the open classes advertised by the Readville association have been declared off, but the regular- stakes already closed will be decided. The meeting will only last two days, as poolselling is not to be permitted. One of the big events of the season 'will be a match race between Dr. Strong 2:06 and Tom Ax- worthy 2:07% for $5000 a side. The race is to take place at Pittsburg at a date to be set, and will be best three heats in five. Nathan Straus of New York City has leased the property at Edgewood Park, Alexandria Bay, N. Y-, formerly known as the Alexandria Bay Driving Park; from I. P. Lamson of Cleveland. O.. for a series of years, and will immediately have it put in shape by a professional track builder, after which he will take his horses from Brooklyn there. Mr. Strauss will join the National Trotting Association, and will conduct a series of meetings during the summer. Many temporary stalls are to be built at the new State Fair grounds at Sacramento to accommodate the live stock that will be exhibited during the fair, but these temporary quarters will be more comfort- able and more sanitary than those which housed live stock at the old grounds. The Eureka, Humboldt county, fair, will open September 13th and continue four days. A program of harness and running races has been provided, with purses ranging from $100 to $400. The Eureka Fair is one of the best attended fairs, held in Cali- fornia. W. L. Lambert is secretary, and will be pleased to furnish any Information to parties address- ing him at Eureka. All the Way From Pike. Thousands of the best friends of Absorblne reside in the small towns and villages throughout this country. They are horsemen who layclaim to noneof that superiorttyof knowledge concerning horse remedies that many of the residents of our large cities effect. They don't believe that every testimonial that appears In their favorite horse paper was purchased with a price They know that the price of t. bottle of Absorblne Is no more than the veterinary would charge to just look ataborse and tell them what is the matter. They like to get thepraotlcal experience of cur- ing the ailment themselves. They get the best results because tbey use the medicine with their own bands and they use It eco- nomically and follow directions faithfully. Here Is a specimen letter from one of this class of people: Somerset, Pike Co,, Miss., July 3, 1902. W. F Young, Springfield, Mass Dear Sir:— I used your Absorblne about three years apo on my horse for bog spavin and found It did everything you claimed for It.

The practice is pretty general over east and through the middle west to give a horse that lowers the track record an extra prize of from $25 to $100. Chas. DeRyder thinks Judge Green 2:09 will not be able to race again. Entirely sound, this horse should have trotted to a record of 2:06 or better. Schwartz & Chase have secured the betting privi- leges for the Breeders" meeting at Santa Rosa. Only auction pools and mutual pools will be sold. El Milagro 2.11% by McKinney, won the first heat of the 2:12 trot at Readville.

The gray gelding Jim Ferry was started at the driving club matinee at Denver July 22d against the track record for a half mile this year, which was 1:1(3. He made it in 1:03%. Bozeman opens first among the Montana meetings and a good meeting is promised. Reports from there say that a number of horses are in traning and that everybody is feeling right for the fall contests. The Great Western Circuit opened at Freeport. Ill- last week. Davenport. Iowa, comes next, and then the towns of Decatur, Galesburg, Hamline. Milwaukee. LIbertyvllle and Springfield will follow in the order named. Mr. isaa- Morehouse intends starting his fast trot- ter Stiver Bow for a record during the Santa Rosa meeting. This horse should have had a record below 2 10, but a bad Ick has made it impossible to race him this year. Auget Baron, the very fast gelding by Baron Wilto out of Lady Wilton, has been taken to the home of h owner. I. Morehouse of Milpitas, and turned out. Th' gelding trotted very fast in his work at San Jo: lii is year, but received ah injury in the way of sprain or something similar, and will not start th year. Since Mr. Morehouse took him home he hi been improving, and it is to.be hoped he will entire recover, as he is the promise of a 2:10 horse. Robert Lee. i he Indiana pacer by Gene Lee. out of an untraced dam, took a record of 2:06*4 in the fourth heat of a race at Kalamazoo, August 2d.

He started in the 2:12 pace there July 26th, and gol fourth money. The race was won by Ginger In straight heats, the best time being 2:11%. Racing associations in New York last year paid $190,253 to the State, which is five per cent of the gross receipts during the season. In Illinois, Mis- souri, California and other states that have no law regulating betting, the State treasuries get nothing from the racing associations.

Mack Mack beat 2:10 at Detroit in the second heat of the 2:12 trot won by Sadie Mac in 2:0S% The McKinney gelding was second in that heat, about three lengths back. The eastern horsemen say he will get a record of 2:10 or better the first time he wins a heat. At the conclusion of the Chamber of Commen Walter Direct was presented with a superb flor; trophy by the Detroit Association, while both tr horse and Geers received ovations from the crowi The victory was especially popular on account of Wa ter Direct being the personal property of Geers hin self. The "Silent Man" has now won the C- of < in three of the last four renewals. Last year t piloted Baron Grattan. and in 1902 he was behind D rect Hal, who is the sire of Walter Direct. Dire Hal never lost a race that season, and it is predictc that the son will eclipse the record of the sire Geei considers him a better horse, and so do all the critic Mr. A. B. Gwathmey will match his gelding Tiver- ton 2:04% against any trotter in the world for $10,000 a side, and he don't bar Lou Dillon. Major Delmar or Sweet Marie. Mr. Gwathmey has a great trotter, one of the fastest ever hooked up. but the trotter's speed cannot equal his owner's faith and gameness. The trotting stallion Starboul by Stamboul 2:07%, owned by C. W H. Doubler, Warren, 111., dropped dead recently from heart disease. He was bred by the late L. J. Rose and foaled the property of Owens Bros, of Fresno. His dam was Madam Harding by Over- land, son of Bald Chief, second dam Kate Taber by Mambrino Messenger. Mrs. L. J. Hastings of Los Angeles offers h< grandly bred stallion Sky Pointer Jr. for sale. Th horse is by Sky Pointer, an own brother to the foi mer champion Star Pointer 1:59%, and his dam the McKinney mare Juliet D. 2:13%, dam of la: year's four-year-old champion, Irish 2:08%. SI* Pointer died while a young horse and left but fe colts. One of his get, Sally Pointer, took a record < 2:13% recently on one of the eastern tracks and expected to lower this mark several seconds befoi the year is out. Sky Pointer Jr. is a handsome sta lion and his colts are a very promising lot. He wi be sold reasonable. See advertisement. Ii is very likely that a fair and race meeting will be held during the latter part of September at the Con- cord, Contra Costa county, track. The parties who hold a mortgage on the property are negotiating for its purchase, and their intention is to make many im- provements in the buildings, etc.. should the grounds ccme into their possession. The law which provided an appropriation for tr California State Pair prohibits the directors froi permitting betting or gambling of any kind on tr State Fair grounds. It is said that parties have Si cured a place on the opposite side of the road froi the main entrance and will sell pools and make boo* on the result of all the races. All the patrons of tl fair who desire to bet will have to do will be to secui a return check and step across the street, where the can back the horses to their hearts' content. Thei are more ways than one to remove the external men: branous integument from a feline. Bert Horton, the brown pacing gelding owned by a man named Corbett, is racing through the North Da- kota circuit under the name of Brett, and winning about everything he goes after. He was entered in some of the Montana races last year, but some of the boys got on to him and he was not started. If may he that Brett s the notorious Fred Wilton 2:09%, mentioned elsewhere in this issue. .1. M. Herbert of Denver, owns a filly sired by Wal- ter Direct 2:05-%, winner of this year's Chamber of Commerce stake. Walter Direct served a few mares beforei he was put in training and Mr. Herbert was one of the fortunate ones to send a mare to him The mare is by Directly 2:03% and her dam by Star Pointer 1.59%. The filly is pacing bred with a ven- geance. Can any horse named in the 2:09 pace make Zoloc beat his record of 2.05% to win at Santa Rosa? Th question is asked every day where California horsi men meet. If Daedalion is all right, the first heat wi be faster than 2:06, and Kelly Briggs is known to tj able to beat 2:07 three times when he is fit. Ri H. can beat any horse that can't show better tha 2:09 three times, while Miss Idaho must be reckone with where the heats are around 2:08. It will be horse race at all events, and with good day and trac Zolock will have to stretch his neck to win. Th; race will be paced on Friday, the third day of th meeting.

There is a great deal of ink wasted every year ove the suggestion of new plans on which to race harnes horses, but the old three-in-five seems to best su| those who make entries, and it is the entrance mone that makes harness racing go. Nearly all the asso ciations comprising the Grand Circuit get more tha enough entrance money to pay their purses, and th gate receipts and other resources are large enoug to pay a profit to the promoters. It is all very we for those who are not horsemen to talk about short ening races, and giving the public quick action, bi the man who puts up $500 for the privilege of startinj in a $10,000 purse agianst a big field of horses, like, to have as many chances as possible to get some ( the money, and naturally the entries fall off when an conditions are made that will lessen the number c heats to three in every race. August 12, 1905] ©he gvKc&ev miO ^porfsmcm 1 OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS, iff . "Volunteer" in Horse Review; Four great trotters beat 2:10 at the meeting. Dr. Strong took a record of 2:06, Sadie Mac one of 2:06^, Tom Axworthy one of ,2:07 and Glenwood M. one of 2:08*4- Among these it was the performance of Sadie Mac that was most im- ; ipressive. She scored so fast that it was hard for the ■ others to get up with her, and when the word was Ofiven she burst away at a 2:02 gait and took the . (track in an instant — and it was all over. She came home in 2.06 ^> with her head swinging and her ears , pricked and it seemed impossible at first that the mile j ..'ould be so fast so easily was it trotted. From her manner of finishing — she literally romped all the last eighth — it was not illogical to believe that a mile in ', p:05 would not have been beyond her. The five-year-old. daughter of Peter the Great 2:07% s, veritably, a trotting wonder. Her unbeaten three- I year-old career stamped her such, but she is today, aside from her matureness in point of speed, a far i superior trotting machine. It nilSst be placed une- [Uivocally to Harry Stinson's credit that he has im- proved her in every way. As a three-year-old she ^.nad a sort of stubby-going gait that led more than i >ne critic to say that she would not train on to the ow notch that others predicted. Stinson has eradi- ated this. She is still low-headed and low -gait ed— . mt there is, at the same time, a snap and elasticity ibout her action that is new. She also takes more 'nterest in the game. She was as staid as a brood "nare in former days. Now she is full of gimp, her '•yes flash, her ears play back and forth in the liveli- est possible fashion, she is not only willing, but [•ager. And bodily she looks good enough to eat. , 5he was always robust, with a big place for her din- . |ier. Now she caries a lot of flesh, but it is hard and ,r;irm, and she sweats out as clear as spring water. The . rood horsemen simply stared, open-mouthed, at that J:: 06% heat and remarked, with a sort of comical inanimity: "There is the Sweet Marie of 1905." Ever since her owner, Miss Wilks of the Cruick- Tton Park Farm, at Gait, Ont., began investing so lib- rally in trotters, two years ago, every one has been loping to see her get a "cracker jack." In Sadie Mac he has surely got one. - H. M. Hanna. president of the Cleveland Driving Vark Company, says: "About September 1, when I ave returned from my vacation, I will call a meeting rjff the board of directors to discuss future plans. The ., .ituation will be carefully gone over, including the j dvisability of again asking the legislature for a law •ermitting pool selling for a few days of the year n the grounds of the racing track companies. Just .hat will be decided on I can not say, nor have I lade up my mind yet as to just what will be best for *he company to do; whatever is done will be sub- ; utted to the stockholders for a vote. If it is decided j ask for another pool selling law, the horsemen of hs State will aid us in pushing the legislation. Gov- I rnor Herrick, I believe, will be defeated this fall, _'ot only through the influence of horsemen, but ' hrough the influence of other interests. The Iegis- ' Uure will represent the people as it did two years go. Then we had a two-to-one majority on the . (ool bill in the house, and a safe majority in the sen-. te. John M. Patison, the Democratic candidate, who .-111 be elected, I consider a safe man, and I do not 3 hink that he will veto any pool selling bill that can je gotten through the legislature, notwithstanding j is alliance with the temperance people. As the peo- le will demand a pool1 selling bill, and Pattison will J ecognize the wishes of the people, there is still hope >r us." s Spirit of the West: The horse "man's best friend" ,> as been a great factor in the growth of civilization ■j l all nations, as far back as the history of man can [V e traced. Likewise, the horse has always been the lost important factor in the growth and develop- lent of commercial life in all countries. Many inven- 4 ons the past half century, such as railroads and i; ew and improved farm machinery, has not in the least ■\i iminished the necessity of increasing the horse j roduct of the country. In fact, at no time within the i ast twenty-five years has the production of horses ireen as remunerative to the producer as at the present m me. About fifteen years ago, when the bicycle man- >: facturers reaped a rich harvest, and, in due time, II >st millions of dollars on account of the discarding r ;F the bicycle, the daily newspapers and some of the l ading magazines were filled with articles on the i massing of the horse." But the noble horse did not ass out of use. Instead, he continued to move in good i) >ciety, wore tailor-made wearing apparel and dined %'■!. pedigreed oats, corn and hay. After the bicycle ■aze died away, the manufacturers of the lifeless vo-wheeled vehicle turned their attention to the au- ■" "mobile, and, like the bicycle, they have spent mil- ^'sns in manufacturing and advertising and have suc- >">';eded in creating no small amount of enthusiasm '■id many sales. However, already in the want and ai »r sale columns of all the leading daily papers may t- 5 found any day 'ads" offering for sale $750 autos at >'■ lalf price," including a half barrel of gasoline, or a eal ticket to pay for three feeds at the nearest elec- ic light plant where storage batteries are groomed >r a forty-mile drive. When the bicycle craze was at s zenith city municipalities were obliged to pass ringent laws to govern the speed of the bicyclers and |< protect the life of men. women and children. The [ ime necessity obtains today in cities due to the ■ckless auto drivers. The auto has even invaded the iral districts and the farmers are crying for State gislntinn to regulate the machines upon the public- highways. Spirit of the West's candid opinion is that before the State has time to legislate the auto craze will have dropped out of sight just as the bii ycle craze did. Old Dobbin need not fear that his useful- ness is over, or that he will ever fall in disfavor or disuse. While the inventive genius of the bicycle and the auto have succeeded in producing machines that touch the fancy and the pocketbooks of a limited num- ber of people, the producer of horses has kept right on improving the blood, the type, quality and class of his products, totally oblivious to the inroads of a few machines that in due time will augment heaps of scrap iron that line the byways in all1 cities and towns. Trotter and Pacer: The need of a thoroughly well fused and disciplined organization of horsemen was probably never so kenly felt in this coutnry as at the present time. A militant sentiment of opposition to the race tracks seems to be abroad, and it bids fair unless checked to place an interdiction upon the sport in every State in the Union. The suppression of the speculative feature of the sport is, of course, the thing aimed at, and it is of no consequence whatever to a class of narrow people whose own interests are not jeopardized to know that speculation is an indis- pensable adjunct of horse racing, without which it could not exist except in the limited connection with ccunty fairs. A thousand good and enthusiastic horsemen have wished that horse racing might be maintained without betting and hardly any of them would hesitate to make the sacrifice so far as their own personal inclinations or desires are concerned, but there has never yet been a man of any sense who has stood up and maintained that horse racing, as an independent and exclusive diversion, can be con- ducted without pool selling, except at a pecuniary sacrifice. This just as much applies to the operation of trotting as running tracks. So far as an utter de- pendence upon this auxiliary to the sport is concerned, the trotters are no better off than the thoroughbreds. The people who are willing to destroy the whole fab- ric of racing for the purpose of striking at a feature of it which under certain circumstances may be pro- ductive of evil, are very intolerant and entirely un- amenable to reason. They are not to be denied the possession of a clean and lofty motive, but they are utterly without discretion or discrimination. They do not realize that their efforts, if successful, have a deeper significance than the mere closing of tracks. They imagine that the only serious consequence of closing the tracks will be to deprive a few trainers and drivers, with their stable dependents, of an oc- cupation, while as a matter of truth that result would be only one of the least of the evils which would fol- low their action. The race tracks are the mainstay and support of the breeders of the United States, whose business represents an enormous investment, and whose efforts have given this country a distinc- tion possessed by no other nation in the world. There is justification for the pool selling that is necessary to keep the tracks in operation, in the prosperity and continued growth of the vast breeding industry, and if the matter could be presented to the law-makers of every State in this light by an organization truly representative of the important interests behind it, and directed with moderation of demand and wisdom of counsel, there is little doubt that it would receive consideration. But such an organization is something that has never existed and probably never will. There are numbers and strength in the ranks of the horse- men, but there are no leaders capable of fusing the mass into a homogenous organization for concerted effort. THE GAITS OF THE SADDLE HORSE. Concerning the gaits there is much misunderstand- ing, and some dispute. All horsemen know the walk and the trot, but not all can differentiate a canter from a gallop. And when it comes to the rack and the slow gaits, most horsemen class them all as "easy gaits" and let it go at that. As in many other instances in live stock matters where a little learning is a dangerous thing, there is plenty of debate over the different gaits and we are sometimes asked to settle disputes concerning them. A bit of eye education is usually necessary; that is, an illustration of the gaits will give a clearer understanding than a description of them. Here is a sample call for information of this character: "What are the different gaits of a saddle horse? Describe the movements of the feet, in rotation to each other, in the different gaits. Give some of the details in training a saddle horse such as bridle, bits, reins." The natural gaits of a horse are the walk, trot and gallop or run. Artifically, that is by education, the gallop is made into a canter, which is a gait per- formed by practically the same movement of the legs, but slower, more restrained and easier to ride. We. then have one kind of a saddle horse called the walk- trot-canter or plain-gaited horse. This horse suUs a lot of people primarily because they do not know any other gait; secondarily because they are imitators of the English fashion of riding, and lastly, and leastly, because they do not like other educated gaits which are easier on the rider. These easier gaits are the running walk and the rack. The latter is also called single-foot, inasmuch as in this gait each foot has a separate contact on the ground, no two of them striking it at the same time, as in the trot and pace. But the official name of this gait is the rack, and it should be used. The running walk is .-ailed a slow gait, and there are two other gaits allied to it, the slow pace nnd the fox- trot. The slow pace is also sometimes called the step- ping pace. The name running walk defines the gait accurately and at once identifies it to the understanding. It is faster than a flat-foot walk, and is produced by a movement of the legs more rapid than In a walk but in about the same rhythm. That is, each foot strikes the ground independently of the other. Most horses going the running walk bob or nod their heads and some of them even flop their ears in rhythm with their footfalls. It is an all-day gait, easy alike to the horse and the rider, and it covers ground at an astonishing fashion for its apparent speed. It is taught by urging a horse out of the walk but restraining him from a trot. The slow pace is a somewhat similar movement but borders more on the sidewheel gait or lateral pace, in which the two feet on one side of a horse strike the ground at the same instant. The true pace, how- ever, is in no sense a saddle gait. It is rough and un- comfortable. A rider can not rise to it and save him- self, as in a trot, and it is positively the worst gait a saddle horse can possess. In the slow pace this side- wheel motion is slightly modified so that the impact on the ground of the two feet on a side is broken, thus avoiding the rolling motion of the harness pace. The slow pace is a very comfortable gait, and is very showy, especially when a horse throws just a bit of knee action into it. It has grown common in the show ring during recent years, as saddle . horse trainers appreciate its catchy qualities and endeavor to teach their horses to go this gait. The best saddle horse men, however, do not look on it with favor as it is so easily corrupted into the abominable side-wheel pace, which ruins a saddle horse for comfortable and satis- factory work. Unless a rider is careful his mount may almost imperceptibly degenerate from a distinct and correct slow pace into a plainly-defined pace. The fox trot is a slow trot or a jog-trot. It is a rather pe- culiar gait and not so desirable as the running walk or the slow pace. Some horses can not acquire either of these two gaits and so their trainers pull them down into a very slow trot and seek to pass that gait off as a fox-trot. It is a broken-time gait in a meas- ure, somewhat easier than a pure trot. The trot is the diagonal gait. The off fore foot and the near hind foot strike the ground at the same instant and the horse bounds off them to hit the ground again with the near fore and the off hind. This gives a two-beat gait. The impact of the feet on the ground is one, two, one, two. The pace is the lateral gait. The off fore and off hind foot hit the ground at the same interval, and the other pair on the near side follow. ThU is also a two-beat gait. The rack is a four-beat gait. Each foot hits the ground at a separate interval in a one, two, three, four beat. The rack can be distinguished by ear as far as the footfalls of the horse may be heard; each foot rings clear its own note on the hard ground. In teaching the rack the horse is forced forward by the spur and restrained by the curb. His diagonal gait is thereby broken up and he flies into a four- beat gait. The rack is easy for the rider, hard for the horse. It is a showy gait and is performed at great speed sometimes. The trainer who has a fast-racking horse will generally keep him on that gait in the show ring, hoping to dazzle the judge by the flashi- ness of the performance. Unfortunately this trick succeeds many times, as some judges are too ignorant or too unbalanced to demand the other requisites of a saddle horse. Many a horse has racked his way to fame through the complacency of half-baked judges who proceed in the apparent belief that the rack is the only accomplishment demanded of a saddle horse. The five gaits recognized by the American Saddle Horse Breeders" Association are the walk, trot, can- tor, rack and the running walk, or slow pace, or fox- trot. Either one of these three slow gaits will an- swer. Some horses can go only one of them, some can show them all. When a horse can show these five gaits he is called a gaited horse. Saddle horses are differentiated by their gaits into two classes — the walk-trot-canter horse and the gaited horse. The gaited horse can do all that the walk-trot horse can do and more. It is far easier to finish up a three-gaited horse than a five-gaited horse, and saddle horse educators have not been dis- pleased at the growing demand for three-gaited horses, as it much cheaper to furnish them. The mouth of a saddle horse should first be made on a snaffle bit. He will walk and trot on the snaffle, he will rack and canter on the curb. The gaited horse is- usually ridden with curb bit and single-rein, and the walk- trot-canter horse is usu- ally ridden with bit and bridoon — that is the double bit or curb and snaffle with a pair of reins for each bit. It is easier to communicate through a horse's mouth by the use of the curb and the snaffle and two pairs of reins — and communication with a sad- dle horse should largely be through the mouth, as- sisted by the leg and heel. — Breeders' Gazette. At a meeting held at Columbia, Missouri, last month \V. i r. Foote was present with his string, and noticed in the printed list that his pacer Ed C. was not down in the printed list as being entered in the 2:35 pace. He stated the fact to the program man, and the latter printed Ed C.*s name on the program among the starters in the 2.35 class. The secretary did not notice it, and Foote started the horse and won in straight heats, getting a mark of 2:16^4 for him. After the race the driver of the second horse started an in- vestigation with the result that it was ascertained Ed C. was not entered in the 2:35 but the 2:25 class[ So the owner of the second horse got first money and no record for his horse, while Foote got no money Inii :i record for his.

The $10,000 Empire State Stake for 2:10 trotters was the big feature of the second day, and Peter the Great's handsome daughter Sadie Mac won handily in three straight heats, all below 2:10, while the Cali- fornia bred mare Zephyr by Zombro out of Zolock's dam took second money and trotted all her heats in 2:10 or better. Next to Sadie Mac, Zephyr is doubt- less the highest class mare that is starting in the 2:10 classes this year, and her record of 2:11 will be low- ered two or three seconds before the season is over. Mamie R. and Morosco were starters in this race but were outside the money, but beat the fast mare Grace Bond at that. Bonnie Russell was up third in the last heat, and is due to lower his record of 2:10% before long. In the 2:09 pace there was a field of fast ones, the Allerton horse Allerson winning three heats in very fast time, the slowest mile being 2:06%. The Mon- terey horse Irish 2:08% was third in the last heat of this race and Billy Red's sister Josie was third and fourth respectively in the other two, getting fourth money. In the 2.24 class trot Getaway made a good show- ing, being second in one heat and earning third money. All the heats were under 2:15, the second being in 1:10 Uncle Charley Cahlll's mare Sister Colette, an own sister to Charley n rr 2:07, won second money and trotted a good game race. Brilliant Girl was dis- tanced the first heat. The summaries: 09 ■ lass, purse $1000.

Four fine races were trotted and paced at Buffalo on the third day of the meeting, 2:10 being beaten in every event. El Geers had a close call in the 2:01 pace. When in the third heat at the head of the stretch Kins Direct, pacing strongly, struck his hoof through the wheel of Locanda's sulky. There was a tangle of horses, sulkies and drivers, almost imme- diately swallowed up in a cloud of dust. When the scene' cleared up Geers was seen prostrate on the ground; Driver Snow was on his feet making his way to the judges' stand; Locanda had been safely caught, and King Direct had started on a wild runaway, drag- ging along a somewhat shattered sulky. Soon stable hands and others, including a physi- cian, were at Geers' side. It was found he had suf- fered a bad cut of his leg and was stunned, but he speedily recovered his breath, and his first words were: "Now don't make a hurrah of this thing and scare everybody to death for nothing." To show he was all right, Geers then came out, and back of Turley in the 2:11 trot which followed,, won the deciding heat, being given a tremendous ova- tion. Locanda had two heats in the 2:04 pace when the accident occurred, and as the judges found both drivers blameless, placed the horses in the final heat so the Allerton stallion got the race. Locanda was fa- vorite at $50 to $10 on the field before the first heat, and ruled favorite throughout. Snyder McGregor, the favorite in the 2:08 trot, reduced his record to 2.06% in the first heat, but was beaten the second heat by Norman B. in 2:06%,. Di- rect View trotted a good race, and Tuna, though last, saved here distance, showing that she is improving. John Caldwell was a starter in the 2 : 11 trot and won the first heat in 2:09, but made a break in the second heat and was distanced. Nora McKinney finished in sixth position the first heat and got the flag in the next. The 2:17 pace went to Bolivar, as he stood best in the summary, although winning but one heat. Cap- tain Derby, son of Chas. Derby, was second. The heat won by Bolivar was in 2:08%. Albuta was in the ruck at the finish of each heat. The summaries: Trotting, 2:08 class, purse $1000.

Tiverton beat Sweet Marie in the first two heats of the free-for-all trot to-day, but the mare beat him in the third heat and convinced those who saw the race that in a three in five plan she could take his measure almost any day. George G. trotted a very high class race in this event, being timed in better than 2:07 in the first two heats. Sweet Marie was favorite before the race and the betting was quite heavy. Starter Newton raised a howl when he sent the bunch away in the first heat with the favorite, Sweet Marie, two lengths behind. Despite this handicap, the mare trotted a good mile. George G. was only two lengths behind Tiverton under the wire, and Sweet Marie, in third place, was apparently doing her best. In the second heat the conditions were about the same, George G. giving Tiverton a good race throughout the stretch. The third heat was decidedly the best contest of the meeting. Sweet Marie and Tiverton went off in front when they were given the word. Trotting side by side until three-quarters was reached, the animals showed wonderful speed. It looked as though Tiverton would make it three straight heats. In the struggle through the stretch Sweet Marie dis- played remarkable gameness, and foot by foot pulled away from Tiverton, winning the heat by a length. After the race A. P. McDonald, who drove Sweet Marie, said that the mare was not In the best of con- dition, otherwise Tiverton would have been beaten. The summaries: Pacing, 2:14 class, purse $1000.

Quite a crowd was present at the Santa Rosa track on Wednesday of this week, when a benefit was ten- dered Willard Zibbell, the young horseman who was1 so badly injured by being run over by three freight cars at Fresno. A good program had been arranged by the Sonoma County Driving Club, consisting of seven events, and everything passed off pleasantly. The beneficiary was present with his wife and other relatives and saw his father drive his great horse Adam G. to easy victory in the fourth race. Messrs. Springer, Sutherland and Dunbar acted as judges, and the timers were Messrs. Lumsden, Smith and Delaney. The starting was done by Schuyler Walton, and Walter Trefry acted as track marshal. The summary of the races follows: First race, 2.12 pace. Welladay, by Steinway (Cuicello) 1 1 Miss Winn, by Demonio (Reams) 2 2 Time — 2:17% 2:17% Second race, mixed.

HEWITT, Healdsburg — Morosco won the 2.19 class trot at Santa Rosa in 1904, in straight heats. The time was 2:12%, 2:12% and 2:12. JAMES CROSSLY, City — The pacing mare Much Better 2:07% made her record at Santa Rosa, August 27th, 1898. She started twice at that meeting, which was given by the Breeders' Association, and won both races in straight heats. The time of the miles in the first race, which wras best three in five, was 2:10% in every heat. The other race was best two in three. The time was 2:07% and 2.09. She was driven in this race by Farmer Bunch. Much Better wras bred at Oakwood Park Stock Farm. She is now owned by James W. Rea of San Jose. SUBSCRIBER, Portland— The free for all pace at the Portland, Oregon, meeting in June and July, 1894, was won by the California horse Plunkett. There w'ere five heats, Del Norte taking the first two. The time was 2:17, 2:14%. 2.17%, 2:31 and 2:17%. The bay gelding Cyrus by Captain Webster, was also starter, but wras distanced in the second heat. The time of the fourth heat wras slow on account of the repeated breaking of Del Norte, the driver of Plunkett not trying to shut him out. Mi ■ '! <:, •; L. C. R., Sacramento — The mare Sally Pointer 2:13%, of which mention was made last week, was, wo think, bred by Ed. Allen of Los Angeles, and sold at the Potter sale there in 1901, the same time Sweet Marie was sold. She wras catalogued as Sister's Baby and was then a two-year-old. It was stated in the catalogue that she had paced a quarter in 31 seconds that year. Gazelle 2:11% by Gossiper, the dam of Zolock 2:05% and Zephyr 2:11 trotting is now owned by Mr. J. Of McKinney of.Titusville, Pa. Gazelle was bred by Ben Davis of San Bernardino, and took her record in 1896 at Woodland, when she was five years old. Her dam Gipsey by Gen. Booth 2.03%, is also the dam of De- lilah (3) 2:14%, and is out of Echo Belle, the grandam of Conn 2:15%, by Echo. Gen. Booth was by Geo, M. Patchen 30. The performances of Zolock and Zephyr this year have caused many inquiries to he made about Gazelle. Mr. Davies sold her, we believe, to Mr. Chas. Winship of Los Angeles, who in turn sold her to his cousin, A. H. Miller of Buffalo, who disposed of her to Mr. McKinney, her present owner. I 1 1 AUGUST 12, 1905] ®Jw gfc«£&g£r emit Qp&vt&man A TRIBUTE TO JUDGE GREENE'S MEMORY. OLEMA, August 8th, 1905. Dear Breeder and Sportsman — I see by this morn- ng's Call that Judge W. E. Greene has been called by he grim reaper who spares neither the young nor the I id, the dullard or the wise and good. To the last- : iamed class our dear Judge belonged. For, readers i|{ the Breeder and Sportsman, he was "our Judge," ■ lie loved what we love, clean out-door sports, but es- pecially did he love the light harness horse. Arm In rm with Monroe Salisbury, the iron man, or with >r. Latham of honored memory, have I seen this grand i id man going to worship St. Equus. Judge Greene : ,-as a close student of form and breeding. Early in ■ ! he history of this State he imported from Maine to ] itockton the stallion Winthrop 505. Association with lonroe Salisbury begot a love for the Director f airi- ly in later years, so that the Judge bred and owned ome fine Director, Direct and Directum colts. Be- jore "the dreaded warrior in sombre harness mailed, I lurnamed of man the destroyer the rampart walls i .. ad scaled," the Judge had seen his namesake beat all our-year-olds of his year and retire a champion. >J Last, year at Santa Rosa, at the Breeders* meeting, udge Greene, his son Carlton, and I met. Politics, a 'torses and law were discussed alternately. The v1 udge insisted upon my dining with him. The meal - .as "a feast of reason and a flow of soul," as we two , stened to the Judge as he presented his clear-cut n iews. I then heard much of the late Tom Reed, the reat, perhaps the greatest Speaker of the House of | representatives the United States ever had. Reed i H nd Judge Green were schoolmates in the State of v'jj laine. Both became school teachers and both became :.i reat. Before Judge Greene the lawyer or lawyers who ried to demur, object, delay or stay the hand of ustice felt the majesty of the law. Six feet two ; iches in height, symmetrical, broad chested, digni- ed, just, learned, Judge Greene would turn to him ;ho was trying to hoodwink the court or pervert the I nds of justice, with: "Come to the point, sir — the : ssue at stake. Make a statement involving the is- ! ues; don't pettifog, sir! The court has no time to ear extraneous, outside matters discussed!" Of course, "our Judge" had enemies. What strong li ian in power has not? But his enemies as a rule *' -ere those who desired to bolster up a weak case and ;ad blind Justice astray. The earnest lawyer and pright citizen respected and loved "our Judge." To lem his memory will be ever green. Judge Ogden recently said. "We" (referring to the uperior Court of Alameda county) "are carrying on udge Greene's work, fervently hoping and anxiously specting that our associate will get well." - i Let us hope that the "Supreme Court" — the court I £ last appeal before which our friend has appeared, as said: "Well done, good and faithful servant." "The crowned head and the lowly cowl, all must ome to the narrow tomb. It is only the actions of r»e just that smell sweet and bloom in the dust." Judge Greene was not only an upright judge, but a ue American, who devotedly loved his country and er institutions. No applicant for citizenship could ass muster before him, whether his sponsors were .epublicans or Democrats, unless knowing enough to e of value to our country and a support to her insti- I itions in time of peace or war. The Superior Judges a| f Alameda county are all able, upright men, but ley will sorely miss the dear Judge, the Nestor of leir bench. When, some new comer sits in Judge reene's place, he shall often turn to his associates >r advice and they will say: "Decide as Greene ould have done, and in the decision the dead Judge ill live again." PAYNE SHAFTER. trotters and the other for pacers. The trotting di- vision will have 60 per cent of all moneys paid in, and the pacing division 40 per cent. The nominator of the winner of either division will receive $250. The society feels greatly encouraged with the out- . look for a successful State Fair. All the harness ' events have filled well, and the running contingent will be represented by many of the horses now racing at Portland, as well as those which' have had a good rest since the close of the winter meeting at Oak- land. A platform ie being constructed a few yai'ds from the back stretch, where all horses shipped to the new track can be unloaded from the cars. This will prove a great convenience to horsemen. A suburban trolley extension has been constructed to carry lovers of racing to the park, which is situated a short distance from the city. A splendid trolley service is promised between the city and the park, and the local street railway company is planning to handle the traffic without discomfort or delay to patrons of the races. An item of interest is the fact that the directors have decided to issue a family season ticket this year for $5, which will admit an entire family to the park mornings and afternoons. There will be no admission charge to the pavilion, the directors and the Native Sons of the Golden West, who are to celebrate the entire week, having joined hands in keeping "open house." The displays at the pavilion will be of varied character and high standard, and will embrace competitive county ex- hibits, a poultry show surpassing all former attempts in this line, agricultural, horticultural, dairy and in- dustrial exhibits. It has not yet been decided who will be engaged to judge the livestock. Professor W. L. Carlyle of Wis- consin has a prior engagement which precludes his ac- cepting the post he has held so satisfactorily to Cali- fornia breeders for several years. The directors of the fair are corresponding with several recognized authorities, and hope to announce at an early date that a selection has been made. I GETTING READY FOR THE STATE FAIR. SACRAMENTO, August 10. — The race track at the tate Agricultural Society's new grounds is finished, nd those who have seen it, declare it to be one C the finest in all the West. The soil is a reddish Mlow clay, such as was used in the coating of the d State Fair course several years ago, and makes course full of elasticity and springiness, and when has been worked a little more it will be a remark- Dly fast track. "Farmer" Bunch drove over the new track the other ly and expressed great satisfaction with it. In ct, lie became very enthusiastic over it, and pre- cted that at fair time it will be faster than either ie San Jose or Santa Rosa tracks. The work on the cottage stables for the running id trotting horses is nearly finished. These are mdsome buildings, possessing considerable archi- ctural beauty, and have been built with the idea permanency above all else. The several structures rest on massive concrete undations and are quite a height above the ground, tie floors are all of two-inch planking. Every stall well lighted and ventilated, and particular attention is been paid to drainage in and about the stables. Work is progressing on the temporary grandstand, id temporary quarters for some of the livestock 111 soon be provided. The directors found it im- ■ssible to erect all permanent buildings out of the i mparatively small amount of money appropriated r this purpose, so have been obliged to erect tem- rary buildings for some of the horses and cattle. The harness contingent will have a try at three :h stakes this year, and, strange to say, these ents are all for three-year-olds. The Occident Stake is worth $3880, the Stanford 770, with another payment due, and the Stallion ake, for foals of 1902, $3300. As is generally under- 3od, this stake is divided into two divisions, one for BREEDERS' MEETING AT SANTA ROSA. Everything is in readiness for the big annual meet- ing of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' As- sociation which will open at Santa Rosa on Wednes- day next, August 16th. The California and Northwestern Railway Company will run a special train each day from Tiburon. con- necting with the ferry boat that leaves this city at 9 a. m. Returning the train will leave Santa Rosa at 7 p. m. The fare will be but one dollar for the round trip. On SaLurday, the last day of the meeting, a special excursion will be run from TJkiah to Santa Rosa and return, leaving Ukiah at 9 a. m. and leaving Santa Rosa on the return trip at 6.45 p. m. The program of races is the best that has been of- fered in California for years, and the stakes are the largest offered for trotters and pacers on this coast. There is an excellent program for each day of the meeting. The 2:10 horses are numerous so that fast racing can be expected every day. The Santa Rosa track record is 2:06, which it is confidently expected will be lowered, the day Zolock starts in the 2:09 class pace. The program of each day's racing is here given, with the list of horses eligible to start in the different Events: Wednesday — First Day.

HIGH CLASS BOARDING STABLE Vicxou Verilhac, Prep. James M. McGkath, Mgr. Worth Ober. Trainer. 1509 Grove Street, corcer Bal-er Phone: Fell 5161. Located oDe block from Panbacdle of the Golden Gate Park Take Hayes, McAllister or Devisadero street cars. Nothing succeeds like success is true of every enter- prise, and Vic. Verilhac of the well known Dexter Prince stable, 1509 Grove street, San Francisco, has * no reason to doubt the truth of this saying. Since his purchase of this stable the reputation he has earned for the manner in which he cares for all horses and vehicles in his charge has increased so that in order to meet requests of many horse owners he has been compelled to build an addition to his stable. He recently erected a large building and has put box stalls and single stalls therein besides a splendid dust- proof loft for vehicles. Electric lights have been installed and the greatest care has been taken in pro- viding light and air for the horses. The sanitation in this large stable is perfect. There are at present thirty-four box stalls and forty-five single stalls, nearly all filled by the best road horses in San Francisco. There are twelve matinee racers being prepared by two special trainers from Pleasanton among them are Gertie A., second to Tom Carneal in 2: OS % in Santa Rosa in 1904 Also winner of many a hard fought race, and entered in the free-for-all on the 4th of September at Ingleside. Also King Cadenza 2:15%, Kitty D., winner of the two-mile free-for-all last Butchers' Day; Al Sandy, winner of the 2:20 class pace the same day; Harry Hurst, 2:14; Ruby L. and Laurelwood, the two best trotters that go through the Golden Gate Park. Either can step a mile in 2.15, with ease. Satinwood can show a mile any day in 2:10 pacing. Billy Humes and Cashmont the property of Max Levy, of Seattle, are both good ones, and when ready will be heard from. Silver Moon, the best bred stallion in California, can trot over the speed track in 2:20. Wallie, the handsom- est road horse in San Francisco, with a record of 2:18 as a three-year-old, and a four-year-old chest- nut. Derby, a full brother to Bain, and half-brother to King Cadenza and King V.; this is a promising young gelding with a world of speed. There are many others that will be heard about after the next matinee races on the 4th of September. Mr. Verilhac has employed a very careful man to handle young colts. He has already three that were purchased at the last Chase sale, going along the park roads like ohd horses. He employs the best help and uses only the choicest of hay and grain. Being a hard worker he gives his personal attention to this thriving business. EXCURSIONS TO BREEDERS' MEETING. R. X.

We are pained to announce the death in this city on the Sth inst. of Alex. J. McKerron, beloved and only son of Mr. John A. McKerron, the well known manufacturer of fine harness. Alex McKerron was a most promising young man, aged 22 years, and since cnnipletuiL; his education had been a ' trusted and greatly esteemed employee of the large lumber firm of Pope & Talbot of this city. About two weeks ago he was afflicted with appendicitis, for which an oper- ation was necessary, but he did not survive the shock. The funeral took place on Thursday last, in- terment being at Holy Cross Cemetery. Mr. McKer- ron will have the sympathies of ever^ horseman in California as well as hundreds of other warm friends in his bereavement.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — Dear Sir: In your issue of August 5th, I notice an article on striped bass and from the tenor of same the average person would judge that the striped bass are being wiped out iri a similar manner to the sturgeon. I note that Mr. Al. M\ Gumming states that fishing is now very poor at San Antone Slough and am at a loss to under- stand how he can make this statement in view of the picture published in one of the weekly s_porting periodicals which port rayed.- the catch of Mr. Kittle's one day's fishing on San Antone Slough. In looking at the picture, to the best recollection of the writer, there were at least 25 bass, and some of them must have been at least two feet long. It is hardly fair to presume that Mr. Kittle, who is a well known sports- man, would publish a picture of this kind if he did not catch the fish himself. From this it would seem that either Mr. Kittle is a more experienced fisherman than Mr. Cumming and the others who "were not so fortunate, or else he selected a better time for fishing than they did. The fact of the matter is that the striped bass are increasing very rapidly and from the reports received by the Fish Commission, who keep a close watch on the amount of fish shipped to the San Francisco mar- ket as well as from their regular deputies at different portions of the bay frequented by the striped bass, it would appear that there is no danger of exterminat- ing this popular fish. A great many of the sporting fraternity are prone to criticise the Fish Commission without justice in a good many instances and at other times because of the fact that they do not personally care for certain members of the Commission or its deputies. The writer has frequently seen anglers get on the train at San Pablo station, after a day's fishing near Point Richmond, with large strings of small striped bass. On one Sunday night, not long ago, the writer personally saw three anglers who had over 150 bass between them. Some of these bass would not weigh one-half a pound. The writer knows that these men were what is popularly termed "true sports." and yet they took under-weight bass in direct violation of the laws which they are so anxious to have the Fish Comission uphold. The law in reference to striped bass was framed to prevent the bass from being depleted and if the anglers and market fishermen would both obey the lawr, there would be no chance of wiping out the bass. It has not been the intention of the Fish Commission to bother the rod fishermen in reference to the weight of striped bass, but the matter has become so serious and so much criticism has been made against the overlooking of this offense by the Commission that it is the intention from now on to arrest the rod fisher- man who has under-weight striped bass in his pos- session in the same manner that it arrests the market fisherman. "We have three deputies in San Francisco and almost all of their time is taken up on the striped bass violations. We have seized quantities of fish dur- ing the past month or six weeks and have obtained se\ era] convictions, and just as soon as our patrol boat, which has been undergoing repairs, is once more in commission, the Commission intends to look into ih complaints received from the San Antone slough and at other portions of the bay. The anglers should assist the Commission in the detection of violators of the striped bass law and the way to do this properly is to supply the Commission with such data as w-ould enable it and its deputies, in the event of arrests, in a conviction. The trouble has been, heretofore, that complaints, both verbal and written, received by 'the Fish Commission, have in a great many instances been utterly without foundation and of such a nature as would make it impossible to obtain convictions aftei arrests. A great many people lose sight of the fad that the Commission is liable in a like manner to any citizen for false arrest and unless there is a probability to obtain conviction, our deputies are Instructed not to make arrests. It is the duty of citizen, and more especially of every angler, id violators of the fish and game laws, II such a Cjourse was followed out in relation to such matters, instead of criticisms and unfounded complaints being sent to the Commission, it woiil materially assist the Commission in stamping oi these violations. A great many anglers also lose sigr of the fact that the Fish and Game Commission wa not created for any one special set of men. Th money obtained from the Legislature for the Fis and Game Commission work is out of public funds an we must treat everyone connected with the fish an game matters, whether he be an angler, a hunter or market fisherman or hunter, with absolute equalit; and in addition to this we must provide a food suppl for the people of the State of California who are pay ing their share of the cost of operation of the Fis and Game Commission. Some of the radical fish an game protectionists desire to prevent the sale of a fish and game. To any fair-minded man this woul not only be silly, but absolutely without reason. Th Commission is only too glad, when conditions aris that make the prevention of sale of certain fish o game imperative to avoid the wiping out of such fis or game, to ask for legislation to prevent such loss and on the other hand they are in a better position t judge such matters than the average sportsman. As stated before, the Fish Commission was no created for any one special set of men. It is a publi institution charged with the propagation of fish an game and the protection of same. It must be equit able in its dealings with the sportsmen and marke fishermen and must treat all alike. The Commissio] derives some of its revenue from licenses collects from market fishermen and in return for such license the State is propagating and planting fish. There fore the market fisherman has as much right to fisl the waters of this State so long as these condition: prevail, as have the anglers from San Francisco am elsewhere. The Commission has only a limited amoun of money with which to conduct its affairs and it mus1 make this money go as far as possible. For this rea- son It is unable to place as many deputies in the fieli as the members of the Commission would like, and oi | this account It is prevented in a great many instance: from apprehending violators of the fish and gain laws. There are very few sportsmen who realize tht amount of work done by the Fish Commission depu ties during the course of a year, nor do they realiz* the hardships and the disagreeable work that thest deputies have to undergo while in the discharge oi their duties. The Commission has often been criti- cised for not apprehending violators of the fish anc game law; by people well known among the anglers anc sporting fraternity and this has been a source of deej regret to the Fish Commission. If the sporting fra ternity would drop all selfish motives and work hanc in hand with the Fish Commission they would find a great many facts that they are not now aware of anc would then understand the difficulties which confront the Commission at all times. The Commission has all along courted such help from the sportsmen and until very lately they have not received any. If the sports- men of San Francisco wrould take the trouble to g€ through the fish markets on a Thursday or Friday fh San Francisco and see the countless number of pooi people buying fish, they would readily understand that the community at large is being benefited by al- lowing the fish, such as striped bass, to be sold and would understand what a hardship it would be to these people if the sale of this fish, or any other fish popular with the anglers, was prevented. JOHN BERMINGHAM, JR. (Unless we are very much mistaken, and we do not believe we are, Fish Commissioner Bermingham is thi victim of misplaced confidence in a monthly pub lication not noted for reliability. The picture he refers to in the above communication was taken about five years ago by Al. M. Gumming, when the ark Cuckoo was moored in San Antone slough just below the Miramonte Club landing. The catch of striped bass shown in the picture was made by Mr. Gumming and the late Fred Bushnell. The big fish in the center is the record weight bass taken on rod and line. We are not informed that Mr. Kittle caught one of the bass shown in the picture. He has taken many bass from the slough, however, and enjoyed many days' sport on that water. We have heard Mr. Kittle make the statement that the fishing there is not any where near what it was four and five years ago. Striped bass fishing in the slough at the time the picture was snapped by Mr. Cumming was excellent and made that water the Mecca for striped bass anglers. At the present time, and for some time pas1 there has been no fishing in the slough to anywhei equal that of the period mentioned. This is given, not in criticism, but merely as statement of fact. Following the Commissioner's introductory para graph above, the communication is worthy of the careful attention of anglers and sportsmen, for there is plenty of material in it that is true and peril tinent.— Ed.) September is the ideal month for Rogue river fish- ing. Then the river is teeming with large steelhead and they will take spoon, -fly or roe hungrily. Stro: tackle and heavy rods are requisite for fishing i Rogue river. Frank H. Smith of San Francisco caught four large, sea bass, one yellow tail and a barracouta off Santa* Cruz lighthouse last Sunday. The yellowtail put up a good fight. The sea bass sulk and sound, hanging on with dead weight. The largest bass weighed thirty pounds. James Lynch and J. M. Thomson fished the Paper .Mill from Tocoloma down to Point Reyes station last, Sunday. Several nice fish were taken, but neither one. in baskei was the equal to half a dozen beauties they- saw in the stream but could not induce to take the-" lure. August 1 , iat5j <&\ie gveeoex: axxo ^pjprtsroan LAW VIOLATORS PUNISHED. DEER HUNTING NOTES. Game Wardens and Deputy Fish Commissioners in different counties were on the qui vive, prior to the opening of the deer season for violators ot the game law. Since the season opened a keen lookout has been kept for unprincipled hunters who kill does, as well as those who traffic in venison or hides. On August 6th Thomas Cauckwell, Richard Fulker- son and Al Lang were arrested by Deputy Fish and Game Commissioners A. F. tea and J. C. Ingalls at their camp in the hills west of Cloverdale. They were taken before Justice Provines of Healds- burg and next day pleaded guilty to killing a doe. Cauckwell was fined $50 and the other two $25 each. The trio had been hunting since the 1st inst. and had bagged a doe. The deputies found the hide in their possession and took them into custody. They claimed that while hunting they had sepa- rated, and that one of the men jumped a doe from the brush and called to his companions that a buck was coming toward them. The companions fired, killing the doe. The men were in jovial humor over their predicament, and declared that while their deer ! meat had come high, it was the best obtainable. Cauckwell stated that a man who would kill a doe ' should be fined on general principles. Deputies Ingalls and Lea arrested Robert P. Poe in the hills of Mendocino county for killing deer dur- ing the close season. Justice Braden of Laytonville ' fined Poe $25 for his offense. During the hearing Poe i admitted that he had been hired by Miss F. Louise 1 Shepard to supply her table with fresh venison. Miss ' Shepard, whose home is in Berkeley, conducts a sum- si mer camp in the Mendocino hills, and fresh venison " was on her bill of fare each day to the delight of ' her patrons. Miss Shepard was at once taken into : i custody and brought before Justice Braden, who lm- '■. posed a fine of $50 upon her, in spite of her pro- * testations. Deputy Fish Commissioner A. E. Doney arrested tour deer hunters in the Siskiyou mountains recently, t after following them for over 100 miles through one * of the roughest mountain regions in California. Three ' of the hunters, McCutcheon, Noyes and Chapman, are I from Los Angeles. Scott Greening, their guide, who lives in Happy Camp, near the place of the arrest, * was until recently a deputy fish commissioner. Jus- m lice Brown of Happy Camp fined each of the prison - ■ ers $25 for killing deer during the close season, and Greening's deputyship was revoked. Deputy Doney also arrested Ah Him, a Chinese deer hunter, and one Indian Frank on the same day, and Justice Brown I fined each $25 for like offenses. m It is unlawful for one individual to kill more than ms two bucks in one hunting season. It is an offense to If have the hide of a fawn or female deer in one's pos- session at any time, or a hide that does not show that it is the hide of a male deer. There should be is no hides in any one's possession except male hides and those hides cannot be sold. The Board of Fish Commissioners have had perhaps twenty cases in the last year in which convictions were obtained for sell- ing deer hides. In a good many of these convictions $50 fines were paid, besides the confiscation of the hides. C. Meredith, a Sacramento fish dealer, was fined $20 by Justice March last week for having under- weight striped bass in his possession. The complain- ant against him was Game Warden George Neale, who noticed three boxes of fish placed on the train at Giant, Contra Costa county. His suspicions being aroused he watched the boxes until they reached Sacramento, where the American Fish Company took the boxes containing striped bass to its place of business. Neale arrested Meredith, the manager of the company, who pleaded guilty of the offense. Dep- uties Davis and O'Connell traced the shipment back to Luke Petrich of Giant station, whom they ar- rested and took before Judge Enloe of Pinole. He paid $30 fine. George Johnson of Aracata also has contributed $20 to the State for violating the fish law. E. P. Lounibos of Kenwood was fined $25 by Jus- tice Gibson of Glen Ellen, for shipping doves. Loun- ibos made an ineffectual effort to conceal the nature of the contents of the box which he had marked mer- chandise, but Deputies Welch and Sehaeffle investi- gated and found the forbidden birds, constituting the double offense of offering doves for sale and of con- cealing the contents of the package. For sportsmen who have a fancy for venison on the hoof the season has thus far afforded much sport, and numerous members of the pronged brotherhood have been bagged in the Coast hills and mountain ranges, north and south, where they were wont to range in security until the baying of hounds and the zip, zip. of 30-30 bullets on the 1st inst. apprised the cervus family that something was on tap that was .decidedly unlucky for- the male members. The main body of hunters went out on Saturday and Sunday last. Reports from various sections denote that the combined results for that time were up to past seasons. In Sonoma and Mendocino counties. numerous hunt- ing parties hunted the ranges and many bucks were garnered. Dr. O. W. Jones and J, C. Nealon bagged two bucks near Novato on the 1st. A party composed of Hugh J. Mclsaae, his brother and Bert Golcher of San Fran- cisco were rewarded with, two bucks, shot on the Mclsaae ranch near Taylorville. "Ben" Harris, "Ed" Schneider and George Merchant hunted a day and a half about eighteen miles from Geyserville and bagged four bucks— one three-prong, two forked horns and a spike buck. They hunted over an exceedingly rough country and without dogs. The Lucas Valley Club, composed of David Hare- field, Wm. Tubbs, Fred Tallant, Armand De Court- ieux' of San Francisco, Wm. Barr, Dr. T. J. C. Barr, E. B. Martinelli of San Rafael, Alex Young and An- drew Wilkie, had accounted for three bucks up to last Saturday. A party composed of "Ben" Baum, Henry Collins of San Francisco, Salvador Pacheco, Thomas J. Fal- lon, M. Murray and Henry Martin of San Rafael, Leo de Sella ot Sausalito and Victor Sartori— the Victor Gun Club — got four bucks on the club grounds back of San Rafael, towards Novato, on Tuesday and Wednesday. Collins had a narrow escape from an enraged buck, that after being wounded was brought to bay by the hounds. The animal charged Collins when he approached, and a lucky rifle shot averted impalement on the enraged animal's antlers. The club holds the record in Marin county for the number of bucks brought down so far this year, and also the record far the largest buck reported up to date. This deer weighed, it is stated, 160 pounds, and was killed by County Treasurer Fallon, in Lucas canyon, at 200 yards range. The club grounds com- prise 3200 acres in Lucas canyon. Other San Rafael and Marin county sportsmen who were successful are: Supervisor G. Pacheco and friends, who killed three deer near Novato; Harry Obitz and party killed two on the Healion ranch, a few miles north of San Rafael. In the vicinity of Bolinas, Coroner Sawyer, J. CotelkV Edgar Nott and B. Briones all have a deer to their credit. Early last week in Big Coyote canyon, near Sau- salito, William Campbell and Isaac F. Heuston killed a deer between them. Antone Marshall killed a spike buck near Lake Lagunitas, and the son of C. A. Zin- kand killed a deer a short distance from his residence in Ross Valley. Nicasio is credited with three-forked horns averaging a hundred pounds each, shot by Don- ald Mclsaae, Frank Rodgers and W. T. Farley: Far- ley killed his deer as it was browsing in his corn- field. In the vicinity of Tocaloma the hunting is reported good. Sheriff Taylor and his party had three bucks up to the 4th inst. The hunters expected to bag one or two -more before coming in. Harry F. Bailey brought down a nice forked horn. It is reported that Lagunitas Club The first buck of the open season fur Sao Benito county is attributed to A. Cowden of Hollister, who killed a large one in the Gabilans on Tuesday. Many Hollister sportsmen were out after deer in the Al- varado country last week. The Lone Tree section of San Benito county is taboo at present for hunters. The ranchers have recently suffered severe losses by fire, started by campers, it is alleged. The result is that the Lone Tree com- munity is up in arms against the invasion of deer or other hunting parties. To Frank Tiernan, a cattleman of Hall's Valley, must go the distinction of having laid low the first magnificent full grown buck of the season for Santa Clara valley. The deer, a .four-pronged beauty, was killed at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning on Mount Day, near the famous hunting ground of the Black Moun- tain. For over an hour, the hunter lay in wait for his quarry in the latter's favorite stamping grounds, and was just preparing to leave when he saw his prey not 150 yards from him quietly grazing under a pine tree. ' The buck had probably been there all the time. Tiernan laid it low at the first shot with a 3S-35 Win- chester bullet. It dressed 175 pounds and is one of the finest specimens ever brought to earth in the county. A four-pronged buck weighing 165 pounds arrived in San Jose Thursday from Kings City. The buck was shot by Howard Tierney five minutes after 12 o'clock on the opening day of the season. The party with whom Tierney was hunting is composed of the following: R. Greeninger, Ed Lynn, Dr. Sweigert and D. Ward. The party were hunting in the Jolon coun- try, back of Kings City. The magnificent buck was shot by Tierney on the Pinal. Later in the day an- other one of the party brought down a smaller buck A party from Hacienda quicksilver mines and Dr. Jamison and B. I. Schwartz, of San Jose, hunted in the vicinity of the Hacienda on last Wednesday. Dr. Jamison gave proof of his marksmanship in securing a good-sized buck on Loma Prieta. The fog was so dense during the earlier part of the day that the hunters found the game difficult and dangerous. In the Boulder Creek region of Santa Cruz county, it is reported, there are bucks in plenty. The sports- men of the county have induced the repeal of the ordinance prohibiting the use of dogs in deer hunting. Big Basin Guarded From Fire. Sempervirens Park is at last to be protected from possible destruction from forest fires. Warden H. B. Pilkington, with the approval of State Forester Allen, has begun the construction of an elaborate system of fire trails in the Big Basin for the protection of the State park. The system, when completed, will com- prise wide trails on top of all the ridges extending north and south through the park, with other wide trails extending east and west across the park so as to divide it into sections like a checker board. The trails will be from 15 to 20 feet wide, and everything w-ill be removed from these belts, or strips, through the park, with the exception of trees over three or four inches in diameter. These trails will not be confined entirely to the State park, but will extend across other lands as well, where satisfactory arrangements can be made with the owners, and it is thought desirable for the better protection of the State property. The work was commenced the first of this week with a large crew of men on the top of the first divide, west of the Governor's Camp, and between the middle and west branches of the Waddell creek. This trail will be extended northward via the hollow-tree ridge to the top of the Butenow divide, and along this easterly to the end of the road known as the China Fishing For Salmon. Salmon fishing differs so much from trout fishing that it has been said an absolute beginner at fly- fishing will learn to take salmo salar more readily than will a trout fisherman who tries the nobler fish after years of practice with the smaller one. This I doubt, says a writer in Recreation, but I know that- a very different style of fishing is needed. There i really no such thing as "striking" in salmon fish- lg, and if you keep a tight line and raise your rod s soon as you feel the "pluck" of the fish you will e doing your whole duty, and it will be up to the fish o do the rest. There is no occasion for the swift strike by which one hooks a shy trout inclined to rise a trifle short. The salmon is such a weighty fellow that when he turns to go down after taking the fly his momentum drives the hook above the barb with fi«, very little assistance on the part of the angler, pro- vided the line be fairly taut. fourteen does were seen on the grounds, but not a buck to try the marksmanship of grade. 1 the club members. On August 3rd four bucks were killed on the Jim Ward ranch about 18 miles from Cloverdale. The indulgence in the sport of deer hunting is not entirely monopolized by the sterner sex, for Mrs. Jesse Z. Brunk of Santa Rosa killed a huge buck- near Branscombe, Mendocino county, last week. The Supervisors of that county have recently shortened the deer season one month, the closing day being September 15th. A report this week states that deer are plent.ful in the vicinity of Mount Shasta and Mount Eddy and a number of fine bucks have been shot in those sec- tions. . Hunting parties starting from Sisson, Siskiyou county, have been very successful in the quest for venison. As a rule, the bucks are very poor for this season of the year. Many theories are advanced as the cause, but the oldest hunters fail to account for the lean condition of deer meat at this time. Sacramento sportsmen have found that the coun- iry around Folsom, Michigan Bar and in the vicinity of Lincoln is worthy of attention for gelling deer. "Deer hunting parties have been very successful in the vicinity of Halfmoon Bay, San Mateo county. < me party returned with four bucks after an outing of less than three days. There are several large parties of San Francisco sportsmen hunting in that part of the county. San Jose hunters are in distress over their exclu- sion this season from the best hunting grounds in that part of the State. Practically all the land owners only greatly aid in protecting the whole of the Big Basin from ravage by fire, but also materially aid sightseers in exploring the park, as the fire trail can be used by explorers both on foot and on horseback, and parts of them will doubtless in time be converted into wagon roads. Members of the State Semper- virens Club now camping in the Big Basin are highly satisfied wth the work thus far accomplished. Fire Arms in the Yosemite. Yosemite Valley is a favorite camping place for numerous outing parties every year. Many individ- uals take firearms along. These implements are not tolerated in the Valley. When camping or outing parties enter the Valley they are accosted by United States soldiers, who take their firearms away from them and give them receipts for the same. Those campers who go through the Valley are allowed to carry their guns after the soldiers have sealed them. The seals are broken by the soldiers at the other end of the Valley. "Laury" Adams, Jr., and angling companions fished for black bass in Sand lake, above Sacramento, last week. Prospect slough is the outlet from the lake to the Sacramento river. The water where Adams vnd his friends fished was alive with bass. The party took 160 fish, many of them four and five pounders. There are plenty of seven and eight-pound fish in the lake and slough. ., the Momvt. Hamilton section have combined and given notice that no hunting or camping will be per- mitted on their lands, this action being the result of the destructive fires that have been started there almost every summer by careless hunters. In spite of a growing belief on the part of sports- men that deer are becoming scarce in Santa Clara valley and vicinity some excellent results were had on Tuesday in that section. "Joe" and "Fred." Piri- nard of San Jose brought in the first buck for Santa Clara county, a two-pronger. They hunted near Ma- drone. This is the third consecutive year that the two came in with the initial buck of the season. Careless Hunters. While out hunting recently near Cloverdale. Chester Lawley had a very close call from death or serious wounding Lawley became separated from his com- panions, who wandered away in different directions. Young Lawley was making his way through a thicket when one of his trends, mistaking the moving object for a buck, blazed away in the direction of the noise. The bullet struck Lawley's rifle and this saved him from serious injury. A portion of the lead struck his arm and became imbedded in the flesh, from which it was extracted by a surgeon. DOINGS IN DOGDOM. Field Trial Notes. Reports from the field trial grounds, near Bakers- field, are encouraging for a successful running. Birds are plentiful and other conditions are most favor- able. Secretary Albert Betz is in communication with 10 mis $ro«fr«v ctn& &port&man [August. 12, 1905 if the leading Eastern field trial judges in the e next January. Both W. B. Coutts and J. E. Lucas have gone north with their string E ers and Pointers for the Northwest Trials. The as Will be run at La Conner Flats the former - i-.eduled for Ladner, ne: couver. B. C. The dogs, both young and old, will be worked on Mongolian pheasants, for this grand game bird Is the only variety available for the northern trials. The Chinamen are plentiful on the training - and in the trial grounds. James Cole of Kansas City, Mo., and W. D. Hardin will judge the Northwestern field trials at O'Neill, Neb., beginning September 11th. The Derby purse for the Illinois Field Trial Asso- ciation's meet will amount to $500. In Minnesota State, during the month of August, handlers are compelled by statute to lay their dogs off, for durii s time -logs are not allowed to run at |arg Is- Owners are liable to arrest for violation of the State game law and the dogs are led as public nuisances and may be killed by any person, without recourse. This law was passed n of the Legislature and is very specific. The game wardens do not now hear the ex- planation, "Why. I am just training my dogs," when confronting a suspicious individual on the fields a few days prior to the opening of the quail season. W, W. Titus and Theodore Sturgis will judge East- ern Field Trials OJub meeting in December at Waynes- boro. Ga. -en now and the middle of next December nineteen field trials are scheduled, with more to come. Pacific Northwest Field Trial Club. Secretary Chas. L. Lundy, writes from Seattle as follows: Referring to our field trial prospects, I have the honor to say that the Pacific Northwest Field Trial Club (of which the writer has the honor to be secretary-treasurer), will be run at LaConner Flats October 13 and 14. with J. M. Taylor, of New York, as judge on "Bob Whites." We have a cracking nice little club up here, of which Hon. John Riplinger (owner of Ch. Stylish Sargeant, Ch. Bracken O'Leak and the Ch. bitches Pera and Ellore), is president, and among the other members are John W. Considine, whom the dog world knows as the owner of the greatest of all, the deceased Doc Hick, and that queen of matrons, Jessie Rodfield. besides a world of other possibly equally as good un- der similar circumstances; Mr. Tandell, sporting edi- tor; Capt. A. E. Swift, proprietor of the LaConner line of steamers; N. A. Weeden, who is still wearing crepe for the loss of his celebrated Count Whitestone's Chief and Rhoda C. together with a promising derby prospect all of which recently died because of that dastardly destroyer, the poison fiend. We are sure of plenty of birds and certain of the very prettiest gi uunds — all oat fields of generally 500 acres. The British Columbia field trials will be run just prior to ours, with an international stake wThich we, of course — as did all the other Americans who went over to compete with English subjects — hope to win out. A Dog Is Always Honest. "There is one peculiar thing about dogs," remarked a well-known local fancier and sportsman, "and that is you never saw one pant and wag his tail at the same time, for it is impossible for him to be mad at one end and glad at the other. "If a dog is glad to see his master he will bark and wag his tail. If he wants to get into the house he v ill paw at the door, whine and wag his tail, but they are all symptoms of the same emotion. But if his is the door he will cease to show anxiety immediately by whining and will show pleasure only by the wagging of his tail. "In order to get a man's temper one must watch his eyes, but for a dog's you have to watch his tail. The dog Is likewise incapable of deceit, and hence he Is nothing of a politician. He deceives no one, not elven his l U he is overjoyed every emotion is 1 fact, and his whole make-up gives ample testimony to it. If he is displeased or angered it is the same way." SAN MATEO SHOW. i remium list for the San Mateo one-day open air show on September 9th gives a full classification for nearly every breed. Charles K. Barley will judge Fox Terriers. Mr. Chas.

Mr. Leon Greenebaum has purchased a light brindle Bulldog from Mr. Thos. Ashton. Braemer Albert (Braemer Galtee More — Braemer Beatrice) is 14 months old and full of promise. Mr. Greenebaum did not receive the dog he originally bought from Mr. Ashton. The dog was smothered in an express car, in transit to this city. Braemer Albert was sent out instead and the Yorkshire man says he will go a bit. VALIDITY OF COUNTY ORDINANCES. It is possible that the courts will decide that spe- cial county ordinances restricting the open season al- lowed by the State law are invalid. The District Court of Appeals in Southern California decided re- cently that a one-day dove law passed by the Los Angeles supervisors was illegal. The opinion of the majority of the court held that the "police" function in regard to game, bestowed upon the Supervisors of each county in 1S97, had been made invalid by a more recent amendment to the Constitution, known as Sec- tion 25%, Article IV, which reads as follows: "The Legislature may provide for the division of the State into fish and game districts and may enact such laws for the protection of fish and game therein as they may deem appropriate." In explanation of this section the following comment appears in the opinion of the court: "We are unable to see any particular significance attaching to the manner in which the word 'may' shall be read in this constitutional amendment, inas- much as its obvious intent was to confer upon the State Legislature alone authority to deal with the subject of fish and game, and in such legislation to relieve it from the necessity of enacting general laws applicable alike. to the whole State, and the effect of which could only be to remove the necessity existing for delegation of power to local authorities. - "We are of the opinion, therefore, that any author- ity reposing in the Legislature to delegate legislative power to counties in reference to this subject was revoked by the amendment, Sec. 25%, Article TV, and the failure and neglect of the Legislature to obey the plain mandate of the constitution does not empower the board of supervisors to assume this duty reposing in the State alone." This reasoning would, of course, knock out all of the special game laws passed by supervisors, but one of the District Justices refused to concur, in j the en- tire opinion, though he agreed the Los Angeles ordi- nance wTas illegal, holding that it was a virtual pro- hibition of dove shooting, instead of a regulation of it. It is therefore uncertain how the other District Courts of Appeals will rule on this point, and, in view of diverse opinions, it is likely that the matter will be carried to the Supreme Court. If any San Francisco sportsman wishes to test the question, let him go over to Contra Costa county after August 20th and kill a buck — if he can find one. In view of the fact that a recent decision of the appelate court virtually reverses a decision of the Supreme Court, there has arisen considerable dis- cussion as to what the relation is between the Su- preme Court and the District Courts of Appeal. The appelate courts are entirely subordinate to the Supreme Court, which may, by its rules, virtually de- termine to what extent the appellate courts shall be the end of litigation, and it is gratifying to know that the Supreme Court is disposed to hear as few appeals as possible. There is a large class of cases in which, on appeal, the facts as developed in the trial courts come more or less under review. In such cases the Supreme Court will not entertain petitions for re- hearing. The decision of the appellate courts shall be final. If this rule is rigidly adhered to, the Su- preme Court will be able to devote its entire time to disputed questions of law, which, in cases w7ith which the appellate courts deal, will not come before it until they have been thoroughly threshed out and the ker- nel separated from the chaff. As to these, also, the Supreme Court has full discretion whether to allow an appeal, and presumably will never do so except in cases of real uncertainty as to the law. That is as it should be. The judges of the appellate courts are always likely to be as able men as those on the supreme bench, and the intent of the constitutional amendment was to make these courts the final resort in the majority of cases coming before them. And the more closely that is adhered to, the. better it will be for the litigants as well as the public. Sportsmen generally are pleased with the decision made in Los Angeles. While it is true that a game law that works all right for Siskiyou county may be sadly out of gear for Los Angeles, the remedy for such a divergence is not a harmonious one — the result of a difference in the game laws of adjoining, or nearby, counties has been confusing and detrimental to game protection. One law for the whole State, it is claimed, will do more good than many scattering Jaws. Battle Creek Fish Hatchery. Work on- the new fish hatchery building at the. Battle Creek sub-station of the United States salmon hatchery will be carried on as rapidly as possible. ] The building at Battle Creek will be 50 by 120 feet in size, and will allow for an increased capacity /.of the hatchery to 100,000,000 eggs. Last year the take was 5S,06S,000, -the scarcity of room, preventing ■a bigger take. When it is -considered that the Battle Creek station is already the largest fish hatchery in the world, some idea can be had as to what the magnitude of the sta- tion will be when it is doubled in size. A large force of carpenters will be put to work, the old building moved, and the new and modern' one erected in time for the summer take of eggs. A Bag of Wildcats. Supervisor Charles Boxton, X. J. Frankenberg and N. C. Terwilliger of San Francisco, while hunting last week on the ranch of the Western Live Stock Com- pany, one mile from Laytonville, in Mendocino county, came upon a bunch of five vicious wildcats. After a lively battle, which lasted half an hour, the party suc- ceeded in killing all of the bobcats. The largest one measured three feet nine inches. Seizure of Illegal Sized Fish. On Tuesday Game Warden George Neale seized 2250 pounds of under- weight striped bass, on the arrival at Sacramento of the boxes of fish consigned to the American Fish Company. The fish were sent from Porta Costa by one Petrich, the same fisherman who sent the under- sized bass to Sacramento last week, and for which both he and the fish company's manager paid fines, as is noted elsewhere. Among the 2250 pounds of striped bass seized, but four fish were found that were over the weight re- quired by law, three pounds. It was evident that the net fishermen had not made the slightest effort at compliance with the law. It is very probable that the shipper will be arrested again also. The limit fine for this offense is S200 and it is to be hoped that the shipper will get the limit, the fine of $30 last week seeming to have been of but little effect. The American Fish Company declined to receive the vnderu eight consignment and Mr. X 'ale ennfiifatP'J the fish, all of which were packed in crates, each holding 250 pounds. Mr. Neale divided the fish around among the orphanages and charitable institutions of Sacramento. "It is hard to make a case against the shipper of proscribed fish." said Mr. Xeale. "The consignment 1 seized was shipped from Port Costa; ^the consign- ment I seized a week ago was shipped from Black Diamond. The shipper does not express the fish. As a mle he goes to a way station and puts the crates aboard a train with only a card marked with initials [ or letters of some kind to indicate the sender. It is presumed the consignee knows the name of the sender, but they usually are not anxious to teli what they kiiov." AT THE TRAPS. 11 24-94 Over thirty shooters attended the monthly shoot of the Golden Gate Gun Club at Ingleside last Sunday. The principal honors for the day fell to Otto Feudner, who was high gun in the club race at 100 targets. He also won the Phil B. Bekeart challenge cup with the excellent score of 92 out of 100 targets. The purse winners in the club race were: Champion class — Feudner, Ed Schultz, M. J. Iverson, C. A. Haight and A. J.

There are other matters of interest within the covers. Send for one. The Leader Shells Lead. It's hard to beat the "Leaders." This refers to those that lead in trap shooting, as well as to the "Winchester "Leader" shells, which seem to be on the top all the time. From all points throughout the United States come reports of important winnings made with these shells, some of them being very nearly clean sweeps. For instance, the twelfth an- nual tournament of the Montana State Sportsmen's Association, held at Bozeman, Mont., resulted in every medal and trophy contested for, as well as all the amateur averages, being won by shooters that used the "Leader" shells. The exhibition shoot given by the professionals present at 25 targets, was also won with the "Leader" shells, the winners being Messrs. H. C. Hirschy, A. Grosebeck and Fred Gilbert. At the Texas State shoot the high professional, as well as the first and second high amateur averages, were woil by F. Wf. Faurote. I. A. Dryden and David Cur- ri ' respectively, all shooting the "Leaded shells \r New-York State shoot, held at Utfcal 1.1, - Dean Rich- mond trOphy, valued at SI.'OO. which -was by far the most important- trophy contested for at this tourna- ment, and which Is emblematic of the two-man team championship, was captured by J. W.irniek and Al. Green/ both 'gentlemen lising the -Leader" shells. At the tournament of the North Carolina Trap Shooting Association, held at Durham. Mr. li. M. Collins, an amateur, won the high general average, the second amateur average being captured by E. C. English. Both of the above shooters used "Leader" shells. At the Chef Menteur, La., tournament. Mr. R. E. Saucier, shooting the "Leader" shells, won for the second con- secutive time the handsome Du Pont trophy on the splendid score of 49 out of the possible 50 from the 18-yard mark. The high professional, as well as the first three highest amateur averages at this tourna- ment, were also won by shooters that used the time- tried Winchester "Leader" shells, namely: F. M. Faurote. high professional: R. E. 'Saucier. D. W. Breazeale and "Siligo." high amateur. Of course all the above shot the "Leader" shells. At the Canton. O.. State shoot, the Sportsmen's Review cup. em- blematic of the two-man team championship of the State of Ohio, was captured by Frank Hulshizer and Jesse Orr, both using the "Leader"1 shells At the Capital City grounds at Little Rock, Ark., J. M. Pem- berton again successfully defended the individual State championship in a shoot with S. M. Powell, beat- ing him five targets. This makes the second time Mr. Pemberton has defeated Mr. Powell for this medal. The former gentleman used the "Leader" shells, the shells he always uses. At Brenhan, Texas, Otto Sens won the high amateur average with the " magnificent score of 387 out of the 400. Mr.- Sens al- ways uses the Winchester "Leader" shells. At the Jacks Creek, Tex., tournament, F. M. Faurote was again in evidence and captured the high professional average of 96 per cent. I. A. Dryden being the winner of the high amateur average at this tournament. Both of these gentlemen used the "Leader" shells. On the top of all this is the most won.lerful straight run made by W. R. ("Billy") Crosby df 419 without a miss in a regular bonafide tournament. Mr. Crosby has held the world's long-run record of 345 straight, since March 31, 1901, and now makes another world's record of 419. "Billy" Crosby, as well as Fred Gilbert, H. C. Hirschy. J. A. R. Elliott, Harold Money, F. M. Faurote. R» R. Barber, the winner of this year's Grand American Handicap, and any number of other famous trap shots swear by the Winchester "Leader" shells and have made all their records with these shells HOW TO EXHIBIT. It is well known that the different breeds and the herds are estimated by the numbers and quality and especially the quality of their exhibit, not only at the state fairs (for the mass of the people attend only the district and county fairs), but at smaller fairs as well. So if you wish to create a de- mand for your hogs, to give your herd prestige, and to do your share in keep- ing the Berkshire hog at the head of the list, show your Berkshires at every fair within your reach, writes E. Duncan in "Blooded Stock." Now, it does no herd any good to be repre- sented by hogs of medium or low qual- ity or even by fairly good hogs that are only in medium condition, but a pair of pigs or one boar and his get or sow and produce in prime condi- tion, will attract more favorable at- tention than twenty or twenty-five head just run in out of the pasture in order to fill all the classes. The same attention on five or six head will prob- ably do you more good than scanty attention and feed on three or four times as many. It is a good idea to let it be known that your hogs will be at certain fairs. This will benefit you and the breed. "Why the breed? Be- cause if known that a good herd will be on hand, it will stop the fellows that run in hogs out of the field ex- pecting to carry off the prizes on ac- count of no competition: second, it will help the breed because it will act as a stimulant on those who have good hogs and are preparing them to do their best, knowing that competition will be sharp. It will benefit you be- cause parties at all interested in see- ing your stock will make It a point to be there, besides all benefit to the breed is benefit to you. To accomplish this end let your personal acquaint- ances, and those to whom you are known by reputation, know by letter and by notice In the live stock and county papers, where your hogs can be seen on exhibition, and having good hogs as heretofore stated your herd and breed will have a splendid chance for favorable comparison. If you don't have a catalogue of your hogs, have a neat, attractive circular setting forth the good points of your herd and breed. If you have no Berkshire classes, get the other breeds of Berkshires together, pick a judge and have him tie ribbons on the best recorded Berkshires. When you are out at a fair do not fail to show your hogs and enthusiasm to all those interested enough to want to know more about "the best hog." Carry along your certificate- of regis- ter, so if called on to do so you can show same to the judges, buyer or competitor.

STERILIZE MILK CANS. SHIPPING POULTRY. The shipping season for poultry is at hand. The demand for poultry is good now, and prices are high. Where only a small number of birds are to be sold it would probably be best to patronize a local firm, says an ex- change, but if a large shipment is to be made it would pay the poultry raiser to handle his shipments through some reliable commission firm on the large markets. These firms will gladly furnish daily market quotations so that the shipper can keep in touch with the market each day. and, therefore, come pretty near knowing what poul- try is w-orth. It is often best for a number of neighbors to combine their interests and ship their poultry together, send- ing the shipment direct to the large commission houses and thereby avoid handling the sales through a third party. In shipping live poultry it is a good plan to grade the shipment. Feed the fowls all they will eat just prior to shipping. We know of no better feed than good shelled corn or wheat. Give the birds plenty of water. One who shipped several thousand dollars' worth of poultry last winter to Chi- cago claims that 125 pounds of live poultry will consume eight pounds of shelled corn in the last feed just prior to shipment. He feeds shelled corn and gives the fowls all they will eat just before being placed on the cars. He says that by this method of feed- ing a shrinkage of one-tenth the total live weight Is sustained. One of the An interesting test of the effect of cleaning milk cans, making them germ free by tbe use of steam before milk is poured into them, has been made in Germany. Some time during hot sum- mer weather two milk cans were se- lected ; one was thoroughly well clean- ed in the ordinary- way by scrubbing with hot water; the other was sub- jected to the action, of steam for half an- hour. In the first, the milk went sour in twenty-three hours; in the second, twenty-eight and one-half hours, and the contents of the first can were found to contain twenty-six times as many bacteria as the other. The same experiment repeated in the win- ter showed that the sterilized milk can will keep the milk sweet for nine hours longer than the other. DAIRY NOTES. FOE SALE.

MASTIN, 1016 Nineteenth St., Sacramento. Clean dairy utensils are half of the battle. Never skim milk when it is over 36 hours old. When the young heifer kicks give her a caress in return. Good breeding and good feeding are the dairyman's long suit. Some cows are naturally stubborn just as some horses race. Thunder showers preceded by sultry weather make sour milk. The dairy calf needs attention now as well as at any other time. A cup. medium size, of salt is enough for five pounds of butter. The milking stool Is a dangerous weapon in the hands of a bad-tempered milker. Thirty to forty pounds of cow peas will plant an acre In rows for cultiva- tion. Good crop for Southern dairy farmers to raise. Where mangles are fed to cows they may be fed quite freely, giving them from a peck to half a bushel per day with great benefit. There are some cows which make white butter all the year around and three drops of coloring in a gallon jar will make it look more palatable.

Further, it requires much labor at a season when labor is valuable, and cows thus treated must have a docile disposition-— Thornwell Haynes, Rouen. France. INOCULATING THE SOIL. SUMMER INDIGESTION IN COWS. It is a common expression to speak of a cow as losing her cud when she stops ruminating. The trouble is due to indigestion wholly and may be easily remedied, in most cases, by a proper diet. Usually this trouble oc- curs most frequently in the winter when the cows are heavily grain fed, but sometimes occurs with cows in the summer who are on the range, but are receiving some grain. In such cases a good plan is to cut out the grain ration entirely for a few days, or until the cow again chews her cud. For a time after she resumes ruminat- ing, feed her largely on the grass with some good hay and gradually get her on to the grain. A day or two after the grain ration has been cut off, the cow should have a single dose of one pound of epsom salts and two ounces of ground ginger root, -mixed in two quarts of warm water. In the winter reduce the grain ration one-half, give Her the medicine named above at the beginning of the treatment and make Up the ration with roots or ensilage. Ai all times cows should have free &s to rock salt for it is a great di- gestive. o Reliable reports show that the Cu- bans have not many native cattle left. had about 1,000,000 before the and all but about four per cent shed, They are shipping in i as, Venezuela and Colombia nilh cattle from Florida. ire for fat cattle there- vant the lean meat.

No effort has been made ■ >■ export The new theory in regard to inocu- lating soil for the growth of certain plants has led to two difficulties. The first is the sufficient supply of the necessary bacteria and the second is in supplying the demand. Fungus and other diseases have been transported from one part of the country to an- other by the practice of buying bac- teria inoculated soil. Satisfactory crops of alfalfa have been grown by securing soil from a successful alfalfa field. The same may be said of cow peas and other legumes. But in several instances plant di- si ses, new to the country, have been directly traced to this manner of transferring soil from one farm to an- other. Some plant spores live in the soil and they may remain dormant for some time, but spring into active life when conditions are favorable. Cab- bage disease, parasitical trouble's in regard to tomato growing, and cer- tain wilt diseases are readily trans- ferred in this way. The "probabilities are that many other plant diseases are likely to be carried in the soil. Al- most every valuable agricultural plant has its natural enemies. By a good system of rotation and careful farm- ing they may be kept under subjection when their habits are known, but when transported to other sections of the country they often produce more worry than destruction because farm- ers are" not up in methods of fighting them. Haphazard methods of buying in- oculated soil are dangerous. If a farmer is inclined to experiment In this way it is a good plan to visit the farm,- study the crops grown and as- certain if trouble has been experienced from any fungus or parasitic diseases. Besides the danger of imparting .plant . diseases the ungerminated seeds of noxious weeds also may be brought home in this way. It is a common practice to take alfalfa sub- soil for the purpose of inoculating other fields intended for this crop. Certain noxious weed seeds lie dor- mant- in the under soil when covered too- deep for germination. This under soil when spread on the surface and mixed with the warm upper earth furnishes the exact conditions neces- sary to sprout these seeds. Great ben- efits may be derived from inoculating certain soils but before taking the risk it is better to study the problem thoroughly. PROFIT IN COWS. PRESERVING EGGS FOR WINTER. Next to cold storage, water glass is the best preservative for eggs. But temperature has much to do with the keeping of eggs. The first essential in all methods of egg preservations is in starting with eggs that are perfectly fresh. The com- mercial name for water glass is soda silicate. It is used extensively by soap makers and it is sold by the barrel. It is cheap stuff, selling generally at from one to two cents a pound, ac- cording to quantity. In making the solution boiled water is best because the impurities are de- stroyed by boiling and the air is forced out of the water. One secret in keeping eggs is to keep them away from the atmosphere. The ordinary well water contains some air. A bout a 10 per cent solution of water glass is used and the liquid is kept in a cool cellar. Eggs carefully preserved in this way will keep six months and are just as good for cooking purposes as fresh eggs. ■ I m if just right will turn to to 20 minutes1 The story comes up that the great ranges of the staked phi Ins of western Texas ana lopping well over into eastern New Mexico are becoming un- mercifully overstocked with sheep. This is causing some uneasiness among owners who are wondering what is to be done with all the wooli'es. A movement is on foot on the part of land owners in old Mexico, especially in the great foothill regions of that Country, bp transform some of the big cattle ranches into sheep ranges and hi fact contracts are already being made with this end in vie.w. The man- ager of the Hearst ranch in Chihua- hua has bought 20,000 American sheep and is ready t>< take some more to eal the fine grass with which thai country is blessed this year. Many figures have been published during the past year to prove that high-priced cows return the biggest profits. The manager of one well- known farm claims a profit of $175.40 as an average per cow for last year. The figures do not take into account the milk fed to young stock on the farm. The same man says he is trying for a profit of $200 per cow this year. • There is no reason to doubt these figures; they come from a source, that is above reproach, but they are well calculated to set the average dairy farmer thinking. One hundred and > seventy-five dollars for the milk, cream and butter sold is fully three times as- much as the average cow brings. This much money is never made by poor or even medium cows. They must all be . of the best. It costs more money to get a valu- able cow and it requires brains to take care of her after she is bought- and paid for. It would do a farmer no good to pay $200 for. a thoroughbred cow. of , large milking capacity unless he has the knowledge necessary to take prop- er care of her and the stable, feed, market and other facilities to carry - on the business. The best cows may be easily made into scrubs by giving them scrub treat- ment. It is not advisable to invest two or three hundred dollars for an extra valuable cow unless the farmer has had some experience with well- bred stock. It would be much better to pay that much money for a good bull and grade up from common cows for a few years; then work into high- priced animals as experience suggests. A great deal of money has been lost by fanners because of undertaking what they did not thoroughly under- stand. Good grades require different treatment from common hardy scrubs. The breeding and care of grades fits a man for the finer and more scientific management of thoroughbreds. One who knows from experience says : The man who sells milk around town as a business has to con- . sider a good many little things which has a great influence on his success. One of the first requisites is to have a clean looking wagon, with the inside so arranged that customers will be given the impression that everything is looked after in the most careful manner. We have known a good cus- tomer to be lost just because a driver had a piece of dirty carpet in the bot- tom of the wagflnflP to keep his feet warm in winter time. The measures must be kept scoured and bright and it pays to buy new dishes often just for the influence they have in quiet- ing the fears of customers as to dirt. The milk cans too should be scoured and kept bright for the same reason. The driver's hands must be kept very clean and there is no danger of being too dudish to suit the customers. The wagon itself should never be al- lowed to become old" in looks. A coat of varnish now and then will help matters very materially besides put- ting a polish on the anticipations of the man who pays the freight. Spnnsre*.

So-called pink-eye — properly term- ed contagious ophthalmia — presents the' following- effects: Symptoms — Adult, young cattle and calves first show swelling of the eye- lids accompanied by weeping. Red- ness of membranes of eyelids and "haw" becomes apparent, creamy dis- charge follows and in three or four days a clouded spot shows in center of eye and gradually spreads until sdght of eye becomes milk-colored. Changing from milk-color to pearl tint the eye may become yellow, bulge, show bloodshot streaks, form an ab- scess amd burst, leaving a ragged ulcer, or commence to clear up and finally recover. Slight ulcers may heal by granulation, but extensive ruptures and ulcers often lead to loss- of sight. Fever and some loss of appetite are present. especially in young cattle, for a week or more from time of first attack amd dairy cows may shrink in milk pro- duction. Treatment — The disease being "catching" and doubtless due to a germ which leads to its spread from one animal to another, affected cattle should be separated from unaffected. The eyes of the latter should be wash- ed once or twice a week with a solu- tion* of two drams of boracic acid in a pint of water as a possible preven- tive, and pastures bordering on rivers, ponds and sloughs should be aban- doned as the disease seems most liable to attack cattle grazing on such low wet ground. Place affected cattle ton a darkened shed or stable. Give each adult ani- mal a one-pound dose of epsom salts with one ounce of saltpeter and one ounce of ground ginger root in two quarts of warm water as one dose and follow with a tablespoonful of salt- peter twice daily in drinking water or soft food. Younger cattle should have the same medicine in smaller doses according to age and size. While un- der treatment do not feed grain but give soft and green food; allow all the cold water animals will take. At the commencement of an attack puff between eyelids by means of a clean insect powder bellows a mix- ture of equal parts of finely powdered calomel amd boracic acid; or cover eyes with soft cloth to be kept wet with a 1-2000 solution of bichloride of mercury (corrosive sublimate). This treatment may prove sufficient in a majority of cases, but should the di- sease persist and aggravate, substi- tute for above lotion one consisting of a dram each of sulphate of zinc and fluid extract of belladonna leaves, with 20 drops of carbolic acid in a quart of clean, soft water with which to keep cloth over eyes continually wet. When inflammation subsides should the eye remain milky-appearing paint once daily with 1-1000 solution of bi- chloride of mercury or 3 per cent so- lution of boracic acid. In bad cases which are tardy in responding to treatment give (except to pregnant cows) one dram of iodide of potash twice daily for adult animal and from ten to twenty grains for calves and yearlings, continuing its use for one week. Ragged ulcers may with bene- fit be painted with a solution of three grains of nitrate of silver Jn an ounce of distilled water two or three times a week. Lastly, quarantine animals bought at stockyards shipped in or from infected herds. COWS AND THEIR FEED. It takes a large quantity of feed to make a large quantity of milk. The . time and attention necessary to prop- erly care for cows is about the same with the best as it is the medium or poor ones. There is no profit until the ' product obtained is sufficient to pay j all expenses. ' Many cows that might properly ; come under the head of medium, just about reach the dividing point be- tween expense and profit. Valuing feed at market prices the average cost of keeping a cow a year is in the neighborhood of .$30. Until the pro- ; duct of a cow reaches $30 there can I be no profit. Some cows make $30, lathers make $60. One returns no profit, the other returns a profit of $30. I The cost is the same, except in feeding jjthe better cow in almost every in- 1 stance will consume more food. In llooking for profit the greatest eaters IUhould be chosen because no cow can manufacture milk without sufficient capacity. A cow is in one sense like \i factory machine, the more raw ma- terial it chews .up. .the ^greater the out- put and the greater the profit. - "Some machines are worth more than others because their capacity is greater. But the attendant must know how to feed it. With both the cow and the factory machine the right kind of raw material must be fed in just the right proportions. The feeding must be regular and crowding, if attempted at all, must be done in a very gentle way. But the cow is unlike a machine after feeding has been stinted; a ma- chine may run light or empty and re- sume work again at its normal capac- ity— not so with the cow. When by neglect or improper feeding the milk flow is reduced, the most skillful feeder is unable to bring it back dur- ing the lactation period. BARN COMFORTS FOR HORSES. It is a good plan to. give the horse in the stable all the fresh air possible and some stables are arranged so that a window is in front of the horses. This is an excellent plan, for by ar- ranging such a window the horse may have plenty ' of fresh air day and night- Here is the way to do it: Have a sliding sash and. also a slid- ing screen which may be put in place when desired. Have this screen of fine mesh wire of the regulation size used for windows of houses. Then, on the outside construct a sloping roof over the window held in place by cor- ner posts resting on a board shelf which ' in turn is held in ' place by braces from its bottom to the side of the barn. On. all suitable occasions have the windows open so that the horse may get its head out. The roof will shade its head from the sun yet the opening will be large enough so that it will get plenty of air. During the night the screen may be placed over the opening to shut out insects and in the" event of a heavy storm the glass sash may be pulled in place wholly or in part. The cost of such an arrangement is comparatively small, but it will add much to the comfort of the horse, particularly . if other windows in the barn are so arranged that there is plenty of ventilation, even when it is necessary to close the window in front of him. A large sum of money will be won at the American Royal Live Stock Slum at Kansas City, Oct. 9 to 14 this year. The official premium list has been received.

San Francisco, Saturday, August 19, 1905 COLT STAKES are the very life of the harness horse business and without them standard bred stal- lions would not be patronized as heavily as they now are. There is a fascination about breeding- a stake winner that takes hold of nearly every person that owns a well bred or fast mare, and the desh-e to win a. stake with an animal of one's own breeding is almost universal among horse breeders. If it were not for the colt stakes which give the three-year-olds a large earning capacity, many breeders would soon fall into the habit of sending their mares to stallions of the draft or coach breeds in the hope of getting a foal large enough to sell in the city horse marts for draft or express purposes. The love of the handsome and fast light harness horse is very strong in many men,, but there are a much larger number whose love of the money hung up in stakes vastly exceeds their love for the colt that can win it, and when they see stakes advertised in which the winner will be paid a large sum, they send their favorite mares to the stallion which in their opinion will be most iikely to sire the speed required to win. For these reasons it behooves every stallion owner to do his utmost toward making the stakes successful. In this State we have the Breeders' Futurity, the Occident and the Stanford Stakes, and each and every one should have twice the entries it receives. While these stakes are successful and worth from $2000 to $3000 to the winner, if the stallion owners would do a little missionary work each year among the patrons of their horse, they would be worth not less than $5000 each to the winner, and this would lead to the breed- ing of twice as many mares each year. There is a third payment on the foals of this year in Breeders' Futurity No. 5, which will be due and payable Sep- tember 1st. The guaranteed value of this stake is $7000, and if all foals on which second payment was made have this third payment made on them the stake will exceed its guarantee. We ask every stallion owner whose horse is represented in this stake by a mare bred to him last year, to use his influence to have the foal kept in the stake. It will benefit them and all interested in the breeding of trotters and pacers. home the day previous. Mr. Gallegos was 72 years old and came to California from Central America in 1880. - He purchased a large tract of land at Mission San Jose and entered largely into the cultivation of grapes, and other fruits, making a great success of his venture. He also bred a number of harness horses, being the breeder of Diablilo 2:0S% by Diablo 'and of Trilby Direct 2:08^4 by-Direct, besides a number of, others. Mr. Gallegos was a highly educated gentle- man, and a citizen who had the respect and esteem of a very large circle of acquaintances. He leaves a wife, two sons and six daughters, to mourn his demise. SECRETARY A. W. BRUNER, of the Los Angeles Horse Association in connection with the Directors of that organization, is hard at work on the program . for a big fall meeting to be given at the Los Angvles t-ack in November. The purses to be given will be liberal enough to attract horses from all over the Coast, and a strong effort is to be made to bring some of the fastest and most prominent of the Grand Cir- cuit performers to the Coast to compete for big purses that will be hung up for them in races and also in record-breaking trials. It is thought that a Southern California Fall Circuit can be arranged, "with meetings at Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Ana, San Berdnardino and Santa Barbara, and if this is ac- complished it will be well into November before the last races are trotted in California this year. One thing is certain, if the lethargy which now prevails at Pleasanton and San Jose continues, this southern cir- cuit will induce many trainers to do their winter and spring training at the Los Angeles track, as with the closing meeting of this and the opening meeting of next season located there, the inducement to remain in the southern metropolis all winter will be very- strong. ANOTHER California horse breeder has "crossed the divide." Last Monday afternoon Mr. Juan Galle- gos, a resident of Mission San Jose in Alameda county, died as the result of falling down the stairs at his IT SEEMS all the members of the Cleveland Driv- ing Club were not in favor of declaring off the meet- ing there at the last moment, several of the directors expressing themselves as willing to go down into their pockets to make up any deficiency that might result from the loss incurred- by having no betting on the races. This was very commendable on their part, and evidence that they were game sportsmen who, having induced the horsemen to incur great expense in coming to Cleveland, did not propose to disappoint them. It is to be regretted that the entire board of directors did not look at the matter in the same way. Perhaps the deficiency would not have been so .large after all, and it is more than probable that every owner who won any part of the money would have consented to a reduction of his purse, "pro rata," in order to save the driving club from loss. THE TIME TO SELL is when a fair price is offered for a horse, no matter whether he is a world beater or a plug. This of course applies to breeders, and owners who are in moderate circumstances and who desire to sell. The wealthy man who owns horses for pleasure can afford to refuse any offer; others cannot Many a man refuses $1000 for a horse when that amount of money would mean a profit to him on his investment and afterwards sells for $1200 or $1500 at a loss. It is easy to sell a second horse to the man who has made a good profit on the first one he bought from you, but it is very hard work to sell one to the person who lost on his first purchase. THE FASIG-TIPTON COMPANY announces the annual Old Glory horse auction at Madison Square Garden, November 20th to December 1st, 1905, two weeks, days and evenings, following the National Horse Show. California breeders and owners who have horses to sell should communicate with this company immediately. STATE FAIR DIRECTORS ARE JUBILANT. SACRAMENTO, August 17.— The advent of. another week se_es the odds and ends in .the preparation for the coming State Fair being rapidly whipped into shape, and the directors are jubilant in .consequence. As the work of putting the race course and exhibition livestock grounds in condition progresses, it becomes more and more apparent that the State will have the best equipped and finest racing ground in the West. The track is already in fine condition, under the direction of John Haybut, William Fieldwick's assist- ant, and it is probable horses will be permitted to work over the new course by next Monday. Haybut has a number of men working under him, and there is a continuous procession of watering carts, harrows and drags making the circuit day and night. The inner and outer fences around the track will be finished in a few days, probably by Saturday night. It has all the appearance of .-a "dead fast track," as an enthusiast expressed it yesterday. Although the grandstand is to he only, temporary, it is quite a pretentious structure, after all. Particu- lar attention has been given to making it strong and safe. It is stoutly supported and braced. The reason so much attention has been given to this important detail is because the public, is usually wary of a tem- porary structure. There is no cause for fear in this case. Director Thomas Fox, in speaking of the grand- stand said he, as superintendent of the park, would rather have it strong and safe than to have a cover- ing over it, if any sacrifice in its construction had to be made. However, the covering will not be sac- rificed. At one end of the grandstand there will be a room for the directors, and there will also be a ladies' retiring room. There will be direct telegraphic and telephonic communication, and a large dining hall will be located under the stand. The kitchen will be at a sufficient distance from the dining room to insure the absence of the odor of cookery. Work has been commenced on a new stable with forty box stalls for horses, such as have already been built. Additional cattle stalls are being erected also. Although there will be a very large number of horses on the grounds, Director Fox said there would be no scarcity of stall room for them. Of course, some of them will have to be quartered in temporary stalls, but they will be commodious and properly roofed. A great many of the horses now racing at Portland will be shipped here for the State Fair, and with the very excellent trotting program, which has been published, there will be plenty of sport. The directors are making a great feature of Nevada Day,:-whi. h will be Monday,. September 4th. This is also Labor Day, and the two big events will be held jointly. The people of Nevada, particularly those in the western part of the State, are enthusi- astic over the prospect, and promise to come several hundred strong. Excursion trains will be run from Reno, a round trip rate of $5, good for six days, having been made for this particular occatinn. Three hundred Indians have been engaged to take part in the big demonstration, and at the park there will be horse races and toot races arranged expressly for them, and in addition there will be a cowboy fiesta in which broncho busting, roping and tying steers. riding wild steers and other features of tin:- life of the plains will be shown. Several Eastern breeders of fine horses and cattle who are booked to show at the Lewis and Clark Exposition have, engaged stall accommodations ■ at the park, and will vie with California breeders for premiums in their respective classes. Among the Easterners are McLaughlin Bros., of Kansas City; the' LaFayette. Stock Farm of LaFayette, Ind., and Crouch & Son. It is no mere prediction — it is a certainty— that the pavilion will make a better showing that it has in a double decade. The Native Sons hold their cele- bration in connection with the State Fair, and they have taken an active interest in securing county displays. The poultry show will be the biggest ever made under the State's patronage, no less than 1500 -entries of fine fowl being assured at the present time. Henry Berrar, of San Jose, will be the judge in this depart- ment, a guarantee of fair and impartial treatment of all exhibitors.

Breeder and- Sportsman: Racing in Honolulu is as dead as a doornail. For the first time in over a quar- ter of a century, June 11th. the great Hawaiian holi- oay "^vas suffered to pass without a' meeting.. The local Jockey Club is in a moribund condition, and the race-track has been allowed to go-to rack and ruin. The adjacent stabling has all been torn down. Just how long this condition of things will be al- lowed to prevail is uncertain. There are plenty of horses hereabouts but no one" to keep racing enthusi- ashi to the point necessary to produce good racing. A reorganization of the Jockey Club and the appoint- ing of energetic men as officers as well as men who know something of the racing gafwe as carried on in enlightened communities, would probably prove the salvation of the sport on this island where racing, both running and to harness, has flourished from time immemorial. There is some talk of the building of a new half- mile track on the outskirts of the city, but no defin- ite move has been made in the matter as yet. At Hilo on the contrary the sport thrives and the Hilo Jockey Club has just been successfully Incor- porated. They - held a meeting on July Fourth in which many of the equine stars of the islands par- ticipated. The Fretter was entered but broke down. He may never race again. Old Antidote, by Senator Stanford-Poison, and the equine idol of the territory, won a six-furlong race. The winner is nineteen years old and won races here in the days of the monarchy. J. MELTON AYERS. The celebration to be held at Sacramento during fair week by the Native Sons of the Golden West, Is meeting with hearty support. Fifteen counties have already appropriated money for an exhibit of their resources at the Pavilion. These exhibits will be under the management of the Native Sons from the respective counties, and as a $500 prize is to be awarded the best exhibit, keen rivalry has already developed and a splendid showing' of the State's pro- ducts is assured. (The gfceiftev anfc g^o^mon [AUGUST 39, 5905 ^S^SS JOTTINGS. |g| CALIFORNIA HORSEMEN have for the past few years been bewailing the fact that so few race meet- ings are held in this State that they hardly rise to the dig circuit, but when they read of the Mue \ ■ over East by which several of the -..-- have of necessity been de- clared oil they will take heart of grace and come to the cot Ifornia is not half as might be. There is no Slate law which prohibits betting on speed contests. S te Fairs, and the probability is this exception will be repealed at the next session of the ture. There was a time when thirty or forty of ihe half a hundred agricultural districts into which this St;:te is divided could be depended upon to give a fair every year and at these fairs a program of harness racing was always provided for the amuse- ment of the public, and the encouragement of harness breeding. When, in an effort to reduce ex- penses, a couple of our governors in recent years refused to affix their signatures to the bills appro- priating money for these district fair?, they struck a blow at the breeding and racing of harness horses in California which has been felt from one end of the State to the other. The blow was an unfair one, delivered below the belt, but it did not have sufficient force to knock harness racing out completely, and there have been quite a number of good meetings held here each year since without the aid of fairs or State appropriations. The only real danger to harness racing in California at the present time is the apathy of breeders and owners. They are the ones to organize and see that meetings are given, as they are the persons who profit most by them. As has been stated before in this department there is nothing to prevent a first-class circuit being held in California every year except the lethargy of those most Interested. harmless sport of wagering on the result of races during certain weeks of the year. That long con- tinued meetings are detrimental to any sport cannot be denied, but because a few act the glutton is no reason why all should be made to abstain entirely. If the Grand Circuit continues and vacancies are filled by associations that keep up the tone and class which has been given racing in those towns where wagers on results have been made unlawful, the loss caused by the blue laws of Ohio, Massachusetts and other States will not fall on horsemen in general, but only upon those mentioned and people engaged in the breeding and racing of trotters will simply have to change their habitation, or organize to have these puritanical laws repealed. A horseman's love of home is as strong as the next man's and therefore the probability is that a united effort will be made this winter to legalize speed contests and the betting thereon by such wise and rational laws as will meet the approbation of everybody except the alleged pur- ists and the professional gamblers. As it is these two classes are the upper and nether mill stones under which the horse breeding industry and the sport of harness racing are being crushed. The three-year-old race at Santa Rosa to-day, In which the three-year-old trotters will compete for the big end of the Breeders' Futurity Stake, should prove a high class contest, as the four money win- ners will, after the race is over, be ranked with the best three-year-old trotters of the year in the entire country. Starting payments were made on seven, and of these two are by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16^4, and one each by Zolock 2:05*4, Zombro 2:11, McKinney 2.1114, Iran Alto 2:12*4 and Athadon 2:27. All these sires are producers of extreme trotting speed. Nut- wood Wilkes sired John A McKerron 2:04*«, McKin- ney sired Sweet Marie 2:04a4. Zombro is the sire of Zephyr 2:11. Zolock is the sire of Ambush, whose three-year-old record is 2:1,4%, Athadon sired Atha- nio 2:10. and Iran Alto is the sire of two in the 2:15 list. All of these stallions, with the exception of McKinney. are still owned in California, and Zolock and Zombro are the sons of that great sire. So it will be seen that on their sires' side the three-year- olds to start in this stake are about as richly bred as colts to be found anywhere, while the pedigrees of the dams are first class in every case. Ambush, whose record of 2:14%, made this year, has put him in the lime light, will probably start favorite, but the race is not his until he wins it and several horse- men who are good patrons of the pool box will be there to back other starters against him singly or in "the field."' It is said that Mr. J. B. Iverson's good colt North Star, that won the first heat of the two- year-old division last year in 2:24, Is showing won- derful speed this year, and last week worked a heat in 2:15 at Santa Rosa, and after the usual twenty minutes' rest, trotted the next mile in 2:13^. Belle- mont 2.20%, the Zombro filly that won the two-year- old event In 1904, is working nicely and will carry a good deal of money in spite of the fast work that has been done by North Star and Ambush, while Kenneth C, with a record of 2:17 made at Los Angeles last month, and Elma S., who was a good third when Ambush trotted in 2:14*4, are both said to be ready to trot a good hard race for first money with a good chance of getting some part of the stake. Still Better is an unknown quantity so far. and while she has great speed inheritance, being by Iran Alto 2:12*4, out of Much l>u.-r 2:04*4, she will not be favorite. although she may fool the talent when the word is given.

Mrs. WilKam.D. Honeyman will exhibit her Kelbin Grove herd of Ayrshires, one of the finest in America. Cana- dian stockmen have taken a lively interest in the stock show of the Lewis and Clark Exposition and both beef and dairy breeds from various Canadian points will be represented. The American Goat Association, which" for several years has held its exhibitions in Kansas City, will hold the first goat' show ever conducted in the West, and prospects are that it will be superior in every way to former exhibitions at the American Royal Show in Kansas City. " Eastern sheepraisers are ex- pected to enter for prizes, and several prominent Western owners already have listed their stock. Among the latter are the Baldwin Sheep & Land Company of Hay Creek, Or.: R. A. Jackson, Dayton, Wash.; John B. Stump and J. H Hawley, Monmouth, Or.; Richard Scott. Milwaukee, Or.; Charles E. Ladd, North Yamhill, Or., and Thomas W, Brunk of Sa- lem, Or. BIG STOCK SHOW IN SEPTEMBER. PORTLAND, Aug. 17. — "You can say without hesi- tation that the stock show at the Lewis and Clark Exposition will be a good one," is the way M. D. "Wisdom, superintendent of livestock for the Western World's Fair, explains the situation with regard to his department. "It will be the biggest show ever held in the West," Mr. Wisdom adds, "and will com- pare favorably writh the other big shows of the kind which have been held in connection with exposi- tions." The stock show dates are from September 19 to 29, inclusive. In the neighborhood of $50,000 in prize money is now available as an incentive to stockmen to attend the show and exhibit their stock at the Ex- position, but this, according to Mr. Wisdom, is not responsible for the very unusual interest which breed- ers and dealers all over the United States have taken in it. The big dealers are going to exhibit at Port- land because they believe that the stock business in the Pacific Northwest has a great future, and that no better opportunity than the Lewis and Clark Exposi- tion could be found for introducing their breeds to the western market. Several firms are making arrange- ments to open branch houses in the Pacific North- west, and already one. McLoughlin Brothers of Kansas City, Mo., and Columbia, O., has decided to establish a branch in Portland. McLoughlin Brothers have written Mr. Wisdom that the showing of horses which they will make will be the finest ever made by any firm anywhere. They have purchased fifty head of French Percherons and Coach horses from the continental prize-winners, and these are now en route These horses have never been exhibited before. They will be exhibited at the International Stock Show in Chicago and the Ameri- can Royal Stock Show at Kansas City before being brought on to Portland. J. Crouch & Sons of Lafay- ette, Ind„ will enter fifty horses to compete with those of McLoughlin Brothers. Galbreth Brothers of Janesville, Wis., have on the way an importation of thirty head of Clydesdale and Suffolk Punch horses, never before exhibited, and A. C. Ruby & Co. of Pendleton, Or., have imported a lot for exhibition at the fair. Luke M. Emerson of Bowl- ing Green, Mo., who is the biggest breeder of fine jacks in the world, will bring thirty big jacks to Portland. Included in this number are two which stand seventeen hands high and weigh more than a ton each. Fine Cattle Coming. W. S. Skinner, superintendent of the National Live Stock Show in Chicago, is getting together a train- load of Shorthorns, Hereford, Pole Angus and Gallo- way breeds for exhibition at the fair. The cattle will be shown at the Minnesota Fair, held at Hamline, and will stop en route for short visits at such points as Helena, Mont., and Spokane, Wash. The _ State of Missouri has appropriated $5000 for special premiums to be awarded the Missouri stock making the best showing at the fair, and other influences assure the success of this department. Of the Shorthorn stock exhibitors, several are from the West. These include Howell W. Peele of Spokane, whose herd won on the North Pacific circuit last year; Jay Greaves of the same place, who will show two herds; W. O. Miner of Heppner, Or., and Charles E Ladd of Portland, whose herd won first prize at the St. Louis show last year. J. H. Glide & Son of Sacra- mento, who bought the famous Ohio herd of D. R. Hannah, will exhibit two herds, and Rush & Pierce of Suisun, Cal.. have entered a herd purchased in the East; E. D. Mitchell of Clinton, Mo., owner of the famous Tebo herd, with Choice Good at the head, also has applied for stall room E. W. Bowen of Delphi, Ind., has entered seven head which includes Fair Queen, the champion of all fairs. Some Oregon Exhibitors. Of the owners of dairy breeds, W. D. Ladd of Port- land, owner of the Hazel Fern herd, will be an im- portant contestant. Mr. Ladd's Loretta D. took first prize in the dairy class at St. Louis. Other Oregon exhibitors of Jerseys who are entered are D. H. Loo- ney of Jefferson, Harry West of Scappoose, Atkinson Bros, of Newberg. and E C. Martin of Elgin. Gen- eral William R. Shafter of San Francisco has also entered his Jerseys. Charles E. Pierce of Stockton, Cal., who owns by far the finest herd of Holsteins in the world, will show forty head which he has imported direct from Holland. R. M. Hotaling of San Francisco also has entered two herds of Holsteins. and P. A. Frakes of Scappoose is fitting up two herds. J. L. Smith of the Hazel wood Company. Spokane. Wash, will exhibit two herds from the seventy head of cattle which he THE E. C. PEART SALE. The following account of the auction sale last week of horses owned by E. C- Peart of Colusa is from the Herald of that .city: E. C. Feart's stock sale on Wednesday was not a success from a financial point of view. Only three of the blooded animals were sold, and they brought ridiculously low prices. Diawood, the famous pacing stallion, with a record of 2.11, was started at $500, but there was no raise and he "was not sold. Electro, a two-year-old stallion, and Buster Brown, a three-year-old gelding were started at $400 and $300 respectively, but there was no raise and they were not sold. Dialto, a two-year-old filly, was sold to C. A. Averdson for $100, but after the sale Mr. Peart bought her back for $110, Averdson making $10 on the trans- action. Chief, a bay two-year-old gelding, was started at $150, but as there was no raise, he was not sold. Trilby, a sorrel three-year-old mare, was sold to D. B. George, of Grimes, for $135, and Sutterett, a bay yearling gelding, was sold to George L. Saunders, of Grand Island for $77.50. Buchu, a chestnut mare, bred in old Kentucky, was sold to C. E King, of Venado, for $95 and bought back by Mr. Peart for $110, leaving Mr. King $15 to the good. AY. R. Merrill bought White Stocking for $100 and sold her back to Mr. Peart for $105. Mr. Merrill also bought a sucking colt and sold it back at a premium. E. A. Williams, of Colusa, bought a sucking colt for $32, and W. Jeffrey bought a high wheel suiky for $16. GRAND CIRCUIT RACING. The excellent mile track at Hudson River Driving Park, Poughkeepsie, has been the scene of Grand Circuit racing this week, the Poughkeepsie association taking the date made vacant by Empire Track at New York dropping out. The three heat plan was adopted here, and the racing of the first day was very satisfactory. The track trotting record in a race of 2:16*4, which was held by Little Dick, was beaten in the first heat of the 2:10 trot by Kid Shay, who made the mile in 2:09%. The two succeeding heats in this event were taken by Kid Shay in 2:10% and 2:09^- These make the three fastest heats in a race ever trotted here. Helen Norte was second in the first two heats of this race, showing much improvement in form over her earlier starts this season and a record below 2:10 is expected for her later. The 2:10 trot went to the bay mare Deleree In straight heats, the first of which was in 2:09^, giving the stallion Del March his first 2:10 trotter. Allerson was picked by the talent to win the 2:08 pace, but after taking the first heat by beating Miss Willamont by half a head after an inspiring struggle for 300 yards down to the wire, finishing the mile in 2:06. he was unable to repeat the performance. Two succeeding heats were won by Ethel Mc in. slower time, after a whirlwind finish. Henry Helman man- aged to land Oregon Maid second in the second heat, thereby getting a share of the money, and the Cali- fornia bred pacer Irish 2:0S% by Monterey, also won a small slice by finishing third in the last heat.

The weather was ideal — just warm Enough for fast time, but not too warm for the omfort of those who were in the shade. All the 1 rrangements were complete in every detail when the pening race was called. In the judges' stand,, Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick^and Mr. Yank H. Burke of San Francisco, and Mr; Robert irown of Petaluma, all directors of the association, .-ere seated. Ed R. Smith of Los Angeles occupied he starter's box and Geo. B. Kelley of San Francisco ttended to the many duties devolving upon the clerk f the course. The timers were Messrs. John A. Mc- Cerron, Chas. A. Durfee and A. J. Molera. When the first race was called but four of the riginal seventeen trotters entered came out for the ord. The purse was $S00, divided into four moneys, nd was for the 2.27 class. Adam G., Willard Zib- 'ell's fast McKinney trotter that won so impressively t Los Angeles in his only previous start this year, •as installed the favorite at $10, with the Zombro ,elding Charlie T , Wildbell, a son of Wildnut, and .iro Belmont by Oro Wilkes, in the field at $9. chwartz & Chase sold quite a number of pools at lese figures, and the sympathies of the crowd were -ith the favorite as he was owned by the unfortunate oung man who was recently so terribly maimed in le railroad accident at Fresno. Adam G. was driven y J. W. Zibbell, father of Willard; Charlie T. was iloted by Al McDonald, one of the coolest drivers nd best finishers on the circuit; "Prof." Freeman held le reins over Wildbell, and Mannie Reams of Mamie L fame was up behind Oro Belmont. With but little scoring they were off to a good .tart, and Adam G. trotted like the great horse he ndoubtedMy is and won the heat in 2:11%, the fast- 3t mile trotted on the Coast this year, and a reduc- ton of his previous record by three full seconds. he announcement of the time was received with pplause, and the crowd settled down, to the belief lat the race was to be decided in straight heats, oung Zibbell, with his devoted wife, viewed the ice from a carriage in the infield. In the second heat the favorite cast a shoe and >re off a quarter boot, making a bad break, and fin- ihing last. The heat went to Charlie T. in 2:14%, ro Belmont being second and Wildbell third. The i.ict that Adam G. had lost a heat made Charlie T. ivorite in the pools as the talent knew McDonald's bility as a driver and felt that it would take two iore heats faster than 2:14 to beat him. When the word was given for the third heat" Adam . and Charlie T. made a dash for the lead and lere was a very close race to the half, but here the ! [cKinney gelding out-trotted McDonald's horse and ■ on rather easily in 2:14%, with Wildbell in second , osition and Charlie T. third. There was consider - ble pool selling after this heat with favoritism alter- : ating between the two heat winners. : In the fourth heat Zibbell took his horse to the . -ont at the first turn with the other three close to im. Up the back stretch he kept in the lead, but 1 hen Charlie T. came at him at the far turn he ! i roke, but his driver got him squared away again ithout losing very much ground, although Charlie I . had assumed the lead. In a rush to close the ip Zibbell allowed his horse to again break and s the leader swung into the stretch Adam G. was at ast six lengths behind him. Zibbell gathered Adam • »r a final effort and knowing the horse's great speed ■ t him "step to town." Foot by foot he gained on -J le leader and showed his rare gameness and deter- ination. At the distance flag his head was at - harlie T.'s saddle and twenty yards further at his - iroat latch, but McDonald brought his whip into ay and the Zombro gelding had another link to let rit and he crossed the wire winner by a head amid ■ "eat enthusiasm and cheers for both horses from ! e grand stand. The time was 2:14% and Adam G. otted the last quarter at a 2:06 gait. Again did their • ickers surround the pool box and backed the two • >rses at even money. -.: In the fifth heat Adam G. again made a break that st him the heat and the race, Charlie T. winning :■ 2:16, Wildbell being second. It was a great race ;• id even the owner, driver and all who had pools ■ the Zombro gelding would not have felt badly had :! iam G. won as their sympathy was with his un- it rtunate young owner and former trainer, as well with Zibbell senior, who tried very hard but :t und. luck was against him on that day.

A large crowd was not expected on the second day of the Breeders* meeting, as small fields were the order in every race, but the grand stand filled up and the record for second day crowds was broken. While the fields were small the contests were close, the time very fast and split heats were the rule. Bet- ting was very lively, reminding the regulars of old times. The first event on the card was the finish of the 2:13 pace. As Friskarina had won two heats the previous day, and Vision but one, the bettors made the Bays water Wilkes mare favorite, but "Vision showed that he was a reality Thursday and took the two heats necessary to earn first money in 2.11% and 2:14%. There were but three starters in the 2:17 trot, the Direct gelding What Is It being favorite at $20 against $10 for Jupiter B. and Zambra in the field. Five heats were required to decide the winner, al- though Zambra was distanced in the first. McDonald and Will Durfee did some great teaming in the first heat, McDonald winning by a short head in 2:11. a new mark for What Is It. The race was a see-saw from this on, but the Los Angeles reinsman finally won the victory which was deservedly his. The two year-old trotting division of the Breeders' Futurity was in great contrast to the same event last year, when eight high-class youngsters contested every foot of a four-heat race, with the time from 2:24 to 2:21%. There were but two starters Thurs- day and standard time was not required of Prince McKinney to win, although he could have trotted faster. This colt is owned by- F. Gommet of San Francisco. There were five three-year-olds in the pacing divi- sion of Futurity No. 2, and it was a horse race from start to finish. Fred Chadbourne won the race after five heats with the filly Mona Wilkes, owned by J. W. Marshall of Dixon. She took a record of 2:11% in the first heat, paced the second in 2:13, and was beaten the third and fourth by Mamonio in 2:14% and 2:17, but came back the last in 2.15%, showing her great gameness She made a disastrous break in the third heat and had to be driven very hard to get inside the flag, and Reams;, the driver of Mamonio, insisted that the judges should distance her for run- ning. He made his protest so emphatic that he was fined $50. Just It, a filly credited with a half in 1:00% last week at San Jose, got third money in the race, and Roberta and Deviletta were distanced. Mona Wilkes is by Demonio 2:11% and her dam is a daughter of Nutwood Wilkes. The summaries: Pacing, 2.13 class, purse $S00. Vision. I>. g. by Vanquish. ...

Full anxiously we've waited The dawning of the First — For fresh, green fields en-hungered. For liberty a-thirst. For liberty to wander, The good dog by our side — By field and fell and hedgerow. And wait what e'er betide. A whir of rapid pinions, A hurtling blur of gray — "Bang!" speaks the good breech-loader. For we may shoot today. The air sets blood a-eoursing Through veins — like rare, old wine, The scent of nature's posies Brings cheer without repine. The partridge and the plover. The wild-goose and the quail — Have each their own enchantments. Worked out by hill and dale. For me the pleasant tramping. For me the windward way — That follows in the dove's flight, From dawn 'till close of day. Unbox the Number Sevens. Unleash old faithful Tray. And we will "trail unhindered, The little bird in gray. H. MELTON AIRES. Honolulu. T. H. DOVES ARE SCARCE. Reports from many heretofore good dove hunting districts are all of the same unsatisfactory coloring. Doves are very scarce this year. They have been getting noticeably fewer season after season. A San Joaquin farmer advances the following unique theory to account for the conditions in his district: "It's the game law that's responsible," he remarked. "Before doves were included among protected birds, hardly anybody hunted them. Occasionally some farm boy might go out and get a mess, but there was not the unanimous rush of sportsmen that you see now when the dove season opens. "It is human nature to covet something that is pro- hibited. V\"e are a good deal like Nasby's goat, which wouldn't stay fn the yard where he ought to be; he'd jump the fence into the next yard, where he wasn't wanted, and the only cure was to put him in there and then let him jump back: then that goat was satisfied. Just as soon as you class any bird as game and fix a season for it, you start people to hunt- ing who would have considered it beneath their dig- nity to kill such birds before. Mud hens would be in high demand if they were only included in the game law. I hope the legislators won't put blackbirds in the list: because if they do, the birds, which are use- ful to farmers, as they kill bugs and grubs, will soon be exterminated." About Marysville, which section had the reputation of affording enjoyable dove shooting, last week, few if any hunters were successful in getting the limit of twenty-five birds. Some of the hunters say they never knew doves to be so scarce as this season. Judging by the bags brought in the shooting on the opening day was better in Sutter county than in Yuba. The best bag was made by George McCoy and Dan Bryant, who brought in forty-seven doves from Sutter county. J. W. Steward. R. F. White, G. TV. Hall and Herman Berg tried their luck in Sutter and got nearly one hundred birds. Henry Sidling of San Francisco, one of the crack trap shots of the State, went to Marysville to enjoy 0 I i ning day's sport. He got but twelve birds and says that was about all lie saw. He went out with J. W. Giguerre of Yuba City. The conditions in Santa Clara valley seem to be much better, for reports of limit bags are numerous at San Jose. J. Delmas and M. Lacy shot 19 between them on the Calaveras; George Anderson. Charles and Thad Hobson, 21 in party shooting at 1 barles Mule, 16 from Madrone; P. F. Brott »rest Wheeler, limit bags from Coyote; Phillip Strickler. 10 from Coyote; J. Cadwallader. 5 at Al- maden; George Delwig, 15 near Hollister; James Mc- Kiernan, Ed Rhoads, limit bags at Madrone; Fred Barry, 12 at Silver Creek; F. A. Sangster, limit bag by I vas. Doves are ateo said to be plentiful near Rocklin, Placer county. SALMON FISHING IN THE DANUBE RIVER. In these days of rising salmon-fishing rents an ever decreasing supply of fish, no apology is offere for attracting the notice of anglers to a variety i their pastime, which, it is correct to say, but few c them can have tasted. Yet the locality where may be participated in is no further removed froi London that the remoter of the Highland fishings it comes into being each year presicely at the tim when much of the salmon angling and all of the trou fishing goes out of season, says a writer in the Asiai and it is well worthy the attention of those wfi love a sport none the less for the difficulties whffl stand in the way of success in its pursuit. Amongst the idiosyncrasies of the mighty Danub is the possession of a salmon all to itself This the huchen, the Salmo hucho of the naturalist, whos normal habitat is the Danube. But, just as Salrh salar leaves the sea and ascends rivers, so does th huchen w-ander up the affluents of the Danube, th purpose of each fish being the same, viz., to spawi Formerly it was thought that the huchen found it way to the Black Sea, but this opinion appears t have been formed more upon inference than upo observation. Other species of salmon descend t the sea; the Danube empties itself into the Blac Sea; ergo, the huchen goes there too. Except tha the way is clear enough for the fish to enter th Black Sea, an it listed, it might serve as the Euro pean type of the land-locked salmon of North Amer ica. The fiesh of the huchen, palatble as it is. an acceptable to a land-locked people, carries with it n suggestion of the creamy richness of its sea-fe- congener,. and the accepted theory is that its hom is the Danube, with that river's glacier-fed tribu taries as its nurseries. Like the trout, the huchen selects the winter a the most suitable season for spawning, and toward the end of September the fish commences to worl its way into the rushing rivers whose pale greei waters are typical of glacier-fed streams. There i no unseemly rush for the best places; and it is ti be noted that the farther one ascends one of thes< huchen-haunted tributaries the smaller do the fisJ average. The big waters hold the big fish. Fron bridges and other coigns of vantage they may b< seen lying in favorite runs, dark-backed and neve pale like our own salmon. Anyone thus looking a huchen for the first time would be at a loss t modes of angling scarcely prepare him for seeing a ■■ reddish back which gives to the huchen the locally ', universally applied title of "red-fish," curl over at < the surface porpoise-like. Just when he is wonder- • ing what this portends, he feels a slight tug. He : strikes instinctively, but it is too late: the huchen I has already let go. That curling over of the reddish I back was the equivalent of the leap of the loch trout clear of the water, with the fly in its mouth. Next time the angler will strike more quickly in case the ' huchen has not hooked itself— a contingency that must I not be relied upon. The first rush of the huchen is tremendous, and . I the fish always has a very strong stream to help it. ■ It is the first rush of the chub multiplied by three. At first the ultimate landing of a big fish seems a I hopeless task, but the angler's chances are improved if the rod be powerful yet pliant, a quality that is found in rods made of greenherat or lance wood. The rest remains with the angler. A day's fishing would begin with the light fly-rod on the grayling ground, for a bait. The same local- ity in the evening provides a very pleasant change from the heavier work. Two-pound grayling are common enough, and no matter where one has pre- viously angled for this fish, the sport cannot be sur- passed. The first cast I made for grayling realized a fish of two pounds and a quarter, and this and each of the several that followed it gave the most extraordinary salutatory performance, jumping clean out half a dozen times. One was never sure of a j! fish until it was in the net. In this particular river I I trout are very rarely met with, grayling, some coarse fish and huchen being the inhabitants. The country 'is rich with streams, large and small, in which trout :!and grayling abound, and we have here a land await- ,:ing the enterprising angler when the Norway agent ilhas gone too far in his rent- raising schemes and net- iting and pollutions have depleted our own rivers. ■ Of course every inch of the fishing is in private hands, but arrangements are to be made with lessees, many of whom rent the fishings for the profit to be got out of them. Every huchen caught represents so many marks value; and some Bavarian lessees have no objection to the fish being caught with rod ind line, especially when the angler pays for the privilege. o i As hinted at In a previous issue, the steelhead trout ire now In evidence in the lower waters of the Soquel. 4. few fish were taken last week, possibly the scouts ihead of the run of steelhead which is about due to nake an appearance. Anglers' Smoker. The California Anglers' Association will be enter- tained at the club's initial smoker to come off Wednes- day evening, August 23rd. The affair will take place in the club's elegant rooms. A number ol well known local anglers are billed for talks on congenial subjects anent the sport of angling and also on matters that will be of general interest for the good of the fraternity. A BULL TERRIER'S SOLILOQUY. Striped Bass Angling. Within the past ten days several encouraging catches of striped bass have been taken. One expert bass angler is enthusiastic enough over the indica- tions to predict that the fish taken are the advance guard of a bass run coming from the ocean waters and that it is more than likely that the anticipated visit of the fish will be one in which large fish will be fairly numerous. At all events, the consensus of opinion among "clam casters" and "spoon trollers" is that most of the big fellows are taking things leisurely at present in the waters' depths beyond the Golden Gate. San Antone slough, much to the delight of a few lucky fishermen, did not declare a blank drawing in the bass lottery last week, for on Friday, Al M. Cumming landed five fish that were induced to grab the clam baits. The largest fish scaled 15 Mi pounds, the other four 11, 9%, 4 and 3y2 pounds respectively. Pleased with the indications on fish-day, Mr. Cum- mings fished on Saturday but could only land an S-pounder. and that with a spoon, despite his strict attention to rod and line work during the forenoon. These fish were all taken on an ebb tide. R. W. MeFarland fished on both days, but with little success. When "Mac" goes after bass he gen- erally makes a showing if the fish are about. On last Sunday Mr. Bliss had the good fortune to land seven fish from the slough The largest turned the scales at 12 pounds. Bliss is the present holder of the San Francisco Striped Bass Club high hook medal. He has held the trophy for some time past with first a 5, then a 7 and now his latest 12-pound Crockett Kennels' Ch. Cato Jr. catch. Mr. Bliss recently had some fair sport in San Leandro bay. "Locals" landed a number of bass at the same time. The fishing in that water is reported by Mr. Bliss to have improved recently. The report that a 15-pound striped bass was taken in Lake Merrit one night this week is a reliable one. John Fatjo and several other anglers have taken a number of bass during the week, at night. The second shark recorded as captured in Lake Merritt was taken by a bass angler one day this week. It was a small leopard shark, not over 3% feet long. The awoved intention of the Fish Commission to enforce the law regarding the taking of small sized bass by the rod and line men is looked upon by the majority of anglers as a move in the right direction. The matter has grown into an abuse of a tolerated privilege, for the law applies to all. The net men justly claim that they have as much right (?) to net small sized bass as the rod, and also the set line men. At all events, the net fellows cannot now say that there is any partiality shown sportsmen. Another opinion that is gaining ground daily is that if there were a close season on striped bass it would be of great benefit. They call me Mike. I'm a thoroughbred, from nose-end to tail-tip, and master says I know so much about dogs and men that I ought to tell a thing or two. So I'm going to. For instance, if you were taking care of someone's property and a bad looking man came along, you'd ask what he wanted, wouldn't you? Well, if a dog does just that same thing in the best and only way he knows how, everybody says he is savage and dan- gerous. Now, if a stranger who smells evil (we dogs tell good from evil by our noses, not by our eyes), I growl to see if it scares him. If it does, I just let him see that I am on to him, and he'd better keep out of the yard. If he keeps right on and speaks to me and goes to the door like an honest man. I bark and wag my tail to let him know it is all right. Some fool men think that if a dog barks loud at them that they are dangerous. They don't know enough to look to see if he is wagging his tail. No dog ever bites a person at whom he wags his tail, but if I stick my nose and tail out on a line with my back it is about time to get over the fence. When a dog does that he means business. A neighbor's dog was telling me how a friend of his master's could understand just what dogs mean by their bark, growl or actions. "He came into my yard," said the other dog, "and into the barn I was taking care of, to get something. I jumped at him, but all he did was to say: 'What's the matter with you? Go back in your box, quick, or I'll pull all your teeth out.' Now if he had stopped or looked scared, I'd have had a piece of his leg before he could wink." Lots of people make a mistake by patting a strange dog on the top of the head. The way to make up to a strange dog is to stoop down, stick out your hand, palm up, and pat him on the chest between the front legs, or on the throat. A dog loves that. But before you touch him at all let him smell your hand for a moment. If the dog growls when he smells your hand let him alone; if he licks it he is your friend. Tou see it is this way: when a man wants to cuff a dog he does it on the top of the head or on the ears, with the back of his hand up. If your palm is up and under his jaw he knows you do not mean to cuff him. While the dog may not make friends, he will not bite you. No dog will ever bite a person who is stooping over or sitting on the heels. No matter how savage he is, he won't bite. There are lots of fool persons in this world. Just because I am a Bull Terrier they think I am danger- ous. My master has a small boss about five years old. I guess she's what they call his daughter, but he calls her "sweetheart." When she was a baby I was a puppy. We're true friends. Well, there is noth- ing she likes better than when I am gnawing a bone to put one of her fat arms around my neck and take the bone away from me with the other hand. I have heard some women who live near say, when they saw it, "How dare you let that child touch that horrid Bulldog when he's eating?" Now. wouldn't that make you bark? Why, when she puts her arms about my neck and kisses my ear and says, "Me loves oo Mity," I tremble all over, and feel just like I do when I smell beefsteak cooking. Tou humans don't know how a dog longs to make you understand what he feels and means, and when a dog finds someone like my master and my master's little boss, who understands him to the least cock of the ear, he is just simply happy. Salmon in the Bay. There is evidently a fair run of salmon on in the "straits" at present. Last week a 15-pound fish was hooked off Bluff Point. It is also reported that four small salmon, the largest about S pounds in weight, were taken off California City on Sunday last. The taking of these fish by casual anglers has aroused the interest of the local angling talent to a degree. To-morrow a number of the experts propose to prospect Raccoon Straits with the object in view of hooking a salmon on the trolling spoons. The Tiburon, Angel Island and "straits" waters have been barren of striped bass results recently and the salmon trolling flotilla will also keep a lookout for bass. Reports from Grant's Pass. Oregon, give an enticing account of the splendid fishing to be enjoyed at pres- ent in Rogue river. If the annual program of the steelhead is not decidedly changed the fishing will be worth attending in September. English Setter Kennels. The establishment of the Crockett Kennels by J.. M. Golobeck and Wm. Phillips will be appreciated by sportsmen who want none but a properly broken high class dog to work to the gun. Champion Cato Jr. is not only a stylish bench win- ning dog but he is, as well, a grand performer in the field. He is bred in the purple and is the sire of a number of grand puppies. Cato Jr.'s grandam and sire are Mercury and Johanna. The progeny of this brace lias proven worthy performers at field trials and in the hunting field. Ch. Maggie F.. his dam. has been a consist winner at the field trials as well as on the bench. Lady Rod's Chaff (Rod's Chaff- Cressida), the dam of Maggie F. and Ch. Count Glad- stone IV., her sire represent English setter per- formances that are an essential part of the history of the breed and its high development in the past two decades. The brood bitches that will be installed in the ken- nels will be none the less high class than the stud dogs. Manager Phillips, as a trainer of hunting dogs, has an enviable reputation for thoroughness and relia- bility. He states that he will guarantee every dog turned over to the owner to do the work required and for which he was trained faultlessly, or the fees will be refunded; in fact, he proposes to break his dogs properly before accepting a particle of compen- sation. Irish Water Spaniel Puppies. Attention is called to the offer, on page 15, of the chance to procure some excellent Irish water spaniels. This breed is a favorite one with duck hunters — in fact just the dog for work on our marshes and In the tule sections. Now is an excellent time to take a young dog for preparatory work before the open season begins. San Mateo Show. The entrance fee will be $1.00 for each dog In each class.

Treatment After Whelping. litter whelping, bitches do not properly clean up oody discharge is noticeable, and unless prompt attention is given, the loss of the litter will result Nature will correct this matter by absorption, it is true but the poison being absorbed into the system affects the milk, which produces bowel trouble for the puppies, usually followed by death. The proper treatment is an antiseptic wash. Creolm answers the purpose very well. Dilute with water, as per .iire. lions on package or given by druggist, and with a syringe thoroughly wash the parts twice a das until the discharge ceases. A few doses of :iale of soda in half teaspoonful doses, morn- night, will keep the milk in proper condition. The soda may be continued for a few days, until the discharge stops. The antiseptic washing should be commenced about forty-eight hours after whelp- ing, whilst a dose or so of soda will not be amiss earlier. o TRAPS. Tlie Tnion Gun Club shoot for August is the card at Ingleside tomorrow. The final club shoot for 1905 of the California Wing Club will take place at Ingleside on Monday, Septem- ... instead of the 10th. The wind-up race will live birds, the added club purse w-ill be $150. This shoot will decide the ownership of the four handsome club medals for this year. Besides the regular club match at 20 pigeons there le added feature of a 15-bird race for a cup tropjiy. In lhe club shoot "Slade" was the only score straight. Ed Schultz and Ed Dono- h lost one bird. Six men grassed IS birds. use of S150 (six moneys) was divided between the above shooters last Sunday. P, J. Walsh was the winner of the cup race on a The high guns in both matches were ..West members of the club.

Shatter and Mr. Oswald to the front with the top scores for the day. A new feature at trap shooting was the "snipe shoot." This event is a test of a shooter's skill in the field. In snipe shooting the shooter, Instead of standing behind the traps, gets out In front and Is required to keep p« the move. He Is not allowed to have his gun to his shoulder and is not supposed to know when the bird Is to be trapped or what angle It Is to be thrown. Mr. Stoner and Capt. Shatter were the top notchers In the snipe hunt. The scores for the day were: Shatter, shot at 100. broke 82: Oswald 100-80, Getchell 100-77, Cartwrlght 100-74, Ferguson 60-34, Jewett 75-46.

The scores made by the Petaluma Gun Club mem- bers on the 6th inst. in the club shoot at 20 targets were the following: Frank L. Carter 20. Pete Murphy 17. Klondyke 16, G. A. Drees 14, Dr. Hall and Joseph . 13 each; F. Doss 12, Bert Ayers, Joseph Clark, Keegan and F. Salimina 10 each, and Roy Hooper and A. Saliminia 7 each. Pool and practice shoots were participated in by 30 shooters DEER HUNTING NOTES, The Watsonville Rod and Gun Club held the club initial shoot for 1905 at the club grounds on the 6th inst. The meeting was so successful that another shoot will be arranged to take place in the near future, when it is hoped Work and Varien, the crack shots of Monterey and Pacific Grove, will be present. The Gun Club is in a flourishing condition, and its members are looking forward with pleasure and anticipation to the open season for ducks and quail. The features of the occasion were the performances of Barker, Brewington and Green shooting at double targets. A number of interested spectators were present. The main event at 20 targets shows the following results: "Doc" A. M. Barker, San Jose, 20; Pearson, Salinas, 20; B. Freitas, Salinas, 20; W. H. Greene, Pacific Grove, 19; Brewington, Watsonville, 19; Al- ford, Watsonville, 19; Baxter, Watsonville, 19; Mat- thew-s, Watsonville, IS; La Motte, San Jose, 18; Holmes, San Jose, IS; Albright, Watsonville, 17; Bixby, Watsonville, 15. The gathering of target smashers at Ravekes' road- house. The Hunter's Inn, near San Leandro, last Sunday, was a representative one. The main event of the day was a merchandise shoot, entrance §1.00, shooters having the privilege of entering as often as they wished, best scores to count, 25 possible being the limit on target handicap allowance. The main prize, a Remington gun, was w7on eventu- ally by Fred Schultz. Knick, Pisani and Schultz each, scored 25 targets. The former shot at 27 and Schultz at 26. In the shooting off Schultz broke 25 and car- ried off the shooting-iron. The other winners of prizes, of value in the order named, were: F\ Knick, J. Pisani, L. W. Harpham, L. Hawxhurst, Lovenson, G. Slyvester, D. Daniels, Dr. Hutton, A. J. Webb, Lowny, M. J. Iverson, J. B. McCutchan, Woods Jr., Schneider, Schnipper, Sandidge, Burston,. Chevalier, Harvey, Lew-is and Potter. The scores and handicaps, 25 possible, were: F. Schultz shot at 26, broke 25; Pisani 2S-25, Knick 27-25; Daniels 26-24, Harpham 26-24, G. Sylvester 25-24, G.

A glance over the foregoing scores w-ill make ap- parent that the handicaps were well made as a rule, for it appears in several instances that a shooter duplicated his first score on the re-entry. It is also noticeable that not a* single 15 score was shot. W. S. Wattles received the initial copy of the Inter- state program for the big tournament at Ingleside next month. The copy, we regret to say, was not available early enough for review in this column. The program for the Empire Gun Club shoot on September 9th and 10th was to be issued today. The prizes for the merchandise shoots are numerous and embrace a variety of valuable and useful articles. C. C. Kubel of Marysville was the medal winner at a blue rock shoot which took place at the recent outing of the Ripario Gun Club, an organization composed of Sutter county sportsmen, wThose head- quarters are at Marysville. A special feature of the Union Gun Club shoot to- morrow will be the 100 target contest for the Phil B. Bekeart perpetual challenge cup. Pheasants in Calaveras County. About five years ago several pairs of Mongolian pheasants were turned loose in Calaveras county for the purpose of propagation. For the last three years nothing has been heard of them until one day last week when a prospector by the name of Edmonds, who lives in a cabin near the Easzy Bird mine, dis- covered a couple of strange birds in a small pine tree near his house. When he came In town he told of the circumstance, when it was at once known that they were pheasants. The birds are': still staying in that locality, and have become quite tame, even eating wheat and crumbs of -bread oft the cabin back porch. Clarence Ashlln, "Rube" Haas and S. A. Wells pro- pose to start from San Francisco early next month for Gold Hill, o potrrt on Rogue river, where the fish- ing Is said to be first-class. Returns from many hunting sections indicate that deer hunters are having much sport and getting a fair qjota of bucks. About Ukiah and vicinity deer hunting is particu- larly good.'. It is reported that there are more deer this season than have been ' seen for the Tast four . years. The following is only a partial list of deer -lulled near Ukiah Within the last four days: J. F. ■ Bond, Capt. W. P. Empey. Bob Hutchinson, Frank" Patton, M. A. Powell, Jesse Porterfield, Harry Malpas, Wm. Eldred, Paul Anderson, Freeman Parker, Wm. Hildreth, Ben Milton, Walter Ackerman and Sam Leese have each secured a buck apiece; Cox, Halli- day and party got seven bucks; Dr. Dutton and son and Victor McClure each shot two. Several deer have been seen in the vicinity of Guerneville. A few days ago a party composed of Messrs. Klein, Hetzel and Monticelli Sr. and Jr. bagged a forked horn on Smith Creek, near Guerne- ville. weighing 132 pounds, dressed. Four bucks were jumped on the Country Club pre- serve this week. One of the bucks was chased for some distance, finally attempting to cut across an arm of Tomales bay. The deer got mired in the tenacious mud, the tide being out, and before the hunters could get near and bag the buck, a passerby, who saw the animal's predicament, waded out and killed it with a. revolver. The stranger carried the carcass away in triumph, much to the chagrin of the hunters. Mr. Louis Ditzer, who has been stopping at Monte Rio, on Russian river, states that two dogs have been running deer, almost daily, in the ranges nearby. The dogs seem to be either lost or running wild, at all events all efforts to locate their owners have been unavailing. A buck, hard run by these dogs, dropped from exhaustion on the county road one day last week. The animal fell almost in front of a passing fruit peddler's wagon. The driver immediately jumped down and pre-empted the venison with a large jack-knife. Two weeks ago a couple of hunters near Monte Rio jumped a buck. The deer led them a merry chase and finally was brought to bay- in Bohemian Grove, much to the astonishment of Van Stow and several other Bohemians. The chef, taking in the situation, sallied forth from the camp kitchen, put the deer out of existence and then promoted the venison to the camp larder. Breveted on the field, as it were. The Point Reyes Sportsmen's Club have accounted for seven bucks, so far this season. Santa Clara Valley sportsmen have not lost many - deer, if reports from San Jose and other points are reliable. Many of the hundreds of sportsmen who left San Jose the first week of the season in quest of deer have returned. Most of them were laden with spoils ■; of the chase and bring favorable reports of present ^ conditions and number of deer in the stamping grounds of Santa Clara county. Forty-one fine bucks have been laid low during the past few days by San Jose hunters at the Burn Hills, Pine Ridge, Mount Hamilton, Slate Springs, Monterey county, Madrone Springs, Black Mountain, Santa Tsabel, San Antone, Almaden, Llagas, Guadalupe, Loma Prieta, Los Gatos, Blue Ridge, Coyote, Uvas, Smith's Creek and Sara- toga. 1 The hunters have all returned within the last few days, and venison is on the bill of fare for their friends. There are numberless hunters still ranging the hills while only a few have returned empty- handed. Frank Tiernan's 175-pound buck remains the largest killed so far and will in all probability be the only buck of that size shot this season in this vicinity. Parties of sportsmen are leaving for the mountains every day. They will not be heard from for some time, as they expect to be absent from one to two weeks. Those who have not yet gone and who are looking for good hunting can do no better than go to Madrone Springs, as it is conceded to be one of the best deer grounds in Santa Clara county. For a guide and a hospitable host they will find J. D. Arnold, who is able to direct parties to the favorite hunting ground. Theodore Hartman and S. Thompson brought back three fine bucks, a spike and a two and a four- pointer. Jack Condron killed. a fine buck in the Burnt Hills last week. Jack Doble, Melville Hall, Lee Rid- ley and Charles Smith are still hunting in the Burnt Hills. Lee Ridley has sent in a four-pointer and Melville Hall a two-pointer. John Hudner returned from Slate Springs, Mon- terey county, this week, with two large bucks. Frank Bradford, Sam Young, Herbert Bradford, William Salazar and George Stillwell killed a spike, a two- pointer and a three-pointer at Madrone Springs. George Cozzens, F. Fisher and Chester Fisher killed three four-point bucks at Bull Heads, Canteen Springs. A two-pointer and a spike were killed near Los Gatos by a local party of hunters during the past week. Many local sportsmen wish to know at various times what is doing in the -deer line. An additional list of bucks "killed during the first week, with their ■ respective -weights, as neaT as a veteran deer hunters can estimate, is as foHow-s, for Santa Clara county. J.

Team events, as may be found feasible and desir- able, will be arranged by the tournament committee during the time of the lournament. A salmon fly- casting event is also contemplated. The contests are open to all and for world's cham- pionships". MIXED PICKLES. Immense Schools of Fish have been seen during the jpast week in the ocean waters off the Golden Gate and the adjacent near-by shores, north and south. Captains of coast craft state that not in years have they seen so many fish of different varieties off the "heads." Barracouta, bonita, hake, yellowtail, quite a few salmon, and many other varieties that are found near the surface. The bottom fish — rock cod, floun- ders, sea bass, king-fish, etc., are equally numerous. It has been no effort at all to take big catches of fish with hand lines put overboard from vessels inbound. The fishing tugs and net men have made prodigious hauls of the finny denizens of the deep. What has caused this unprecedented congregation of fishes in the locality mentioned is a puzzler to those who have observed the phenomena. Whilst the fishes are frequenting one place in big schools, it is noticed that they are absent from other localities. For instance, last year, at this time, salt ivater fish, yellowtail, striped bass, barracouta, sal- i mon and other varities, with an occasionaly steel- head, were taken plentifully at Moss Landing, at the mouth of the Salinas river; at this present time the fish are so scarce at that point as to excite notice and comment. Bay fishing, especially for smelts, has been excel- lent during the week. Last Sunday Wm. Bay and Mrs. (.Bay, in a very short time, landed at the Tiburon u-harf 70 smelt, most of them large sized fish. They used light split bamboo rods and had great sport in landing the big fellows. Bay tried flies for a time, Dut had to finally resort to spile worm baits. A Battle With a Buck last Monday morning came .•ery near resulting seriously for W. F. Farley, who s a rancher near Novate He discovered the buck ndulging in a hearty morning breakfast of young ?orn. A rifle shot dropped the marauder. Farley, ngieving the deer was dead, dropped his gun and ■vent to gather in his prize. While he was standing n-er and looking at what he thought was the carcass )f a nice buck, the animal suddenly jumped to its !eet. Farleyi on the impulse of the moment, grasped :he buck by the horns and then a lively struggle took alace. The now maddened buck jumped about and. jave the old man (for Farley is 60 odd years of age) i)l he could do to remain on his feet. Finally, Farley, ,vho was almost exhausted, managed to draw his lunting knife, which he luckily had with him, and iriving the blade home in the proper spot, he soon mded what might have resulted in a death struggle 'or him. Farley was afterwards found in an ex- lausted condition and conveyed to his home. He ,vas resting easily at last accounts and no serious esults from the encounter are anticipated. Chicago Fly-Casting Tournnament. Yesterday and oday the Chicago Fly-Casting Club's fourth annual ournament is the attraction at the north lagoon in Jarfield Park. The program embraced six events. August 18th, 10 a. m., long distance fly-casting. U 1:30 p. m.. distance and accuracy fly-casting. At p. m. dry-fly accuracy and delicacy fly-casting. A liamond trophy and five merchandise prizes will be .warded to the winning rods in the first event. In he second event the prizes are a diamond trophy ,nd six merchandise prizes. A diamond trophy and our merchandise prizes are the awards in the third vent. Today three events will be called at the same hours s on yesterday. The first contest is delicacy and ecuracy bait casting with one-quarter ounce weights. l diamond trophy and seven merchandise prizes are ung up for the winners in this event. The next cheduled event in distance and accuracy bait cast- rg with one-half ounce weights. A diamond trophy nd nine merchandise articles are the prizes. The losing event will be long distance bait casting with Santa Cruz Rod and Gun Club, recently organized by Surf City sportsmen, is now permanently organ- ized with the following lists of officers: President, Robert Kelly: vice-president, H. D. Fagan: secretary, Dr. E. E. Philbrook; treasurer, G. A. Dieter: execu- tive committee, M. Finch, A. A. Jones, George Helm and Fred Kober. The Bald Knob Gun Club has been organized by San Mateo county sportsmen, with headquarters al Halfmoon Bay. Among the members are many busi- ness men and prominent citizens of that section. The new club has leased what is known as the Bald Knot country, seven miles south of Halfmoon Bay, com- prising over 1000 acres, and it is the intention to keep the reserve for hunting purposes for" the mem- bers. The county leased is well stocked with game and much good sport is looked forward to by mem- bers of the club. and southern Tulare county. H. E. Ford, representing the Tule River Fishing and Shooting Association, took charge of 15,000 fry which were subsequently placed in the Middle Tule, above the clubhouse. X .\1 Barnes received 20,000, which he todk to the reserva- tion, and had them placed in South Tule: J. Danner received 20.000. which were duly deposited in Deer Creek in the neighborhood of Hot Springs and Lee Gill 5.000, which lie placed in Bear Creek on North Tule. Through the efforts of the Tule River Fishing and Shooting Association and others, the streams of east- ern and northern Tulare county have hen well stocked with trout, several thousands annually for the last five or six years having been distributed in the dif- ferent streams. The result has greatly improved trout fishing, and which will soon make that section of Tulare county the ideal spot for the lover of fly fishing. TRADE NOTES. The Barbecue Near Truckee on the 6th inst. was an enjoyable outing of the Truckee River Fish and Game Protective Association, held at Truckee Min- eral Springs, five miles from there. The object was to interest sportsmen of California in the protection of fish and game. Deputy Fish Commissioner W. R. "Welsh and Game Warden George Neal of Sacramento county presided over the barbecue. Speeches were made during the afternoon. Those who attended were: Louis Wamser, E. and A. Rosenlund, Mark Lane, Dr. I. Grant, A. Christen- sen, C. C. Moorehouse, C. L. Beck, W. L. Guff, P. H. Murphy, W. Heldt, T. Offerman, J. Knaeiss, G. A. Franklin of San Francisco, and C. B. Keyes of Oak- land; E W. Hunt, Fish Commissioner at Lake Tahoe: W. S. Rollison, F. M. Rutherford, Amos Fender, G. A. Kuntz, M. T. Burke, J. Sherkoof. W. O'Neal, E. J. Campbell, Fritz Ohland, W. E. Larsen, H. Milmoth and William McDougald of Truckee. The Ripario Gun Club members and invited guests met recently at Berg Grove in Sutter county, the occasion being the club's annual dove stew. President Wm. A. O'Brien of Smartsville was the chef. The affair was voted the most enjoyable stew the club has ever held. The annual election of officers resulted as follows: Mr. O'Brien was chosen to succeed himself as presi- dent. The other officers were W. P. Cramsie, secre- tary; W. M. Strief, treasurer; C. C. Rubel, Herman Berg, Dr. J. L. Sullivan, Dan Sharp and Duzen Nie- meyer, directors. Averages Reported. At Fort Worth. Tex..

Anaconda Anglers Will Take Steps to organize an anglers' club. The purpose of the club being the protection of fish in the nearby lakes and streams and the stocking of. the same with trout fry. A good deal of work has been done in that respect this summer by individuals, but it is seen that with an organization of sportsmen much more could have been accomplished. Lost Creek, Mill Creek, Willow Creek and Warm Springs Creek will receive a new stock of trout next year and with proper care these streams ought to be made the best fishing places in Montana. Trout fry which have been placed in the streams this year will be large enough to catch next season. The s'ze of the fish depends a good deal upon feed which they are able to get. In Silver Lake, or Echo Lake, a trout fry will weigh two pounds in two years. The San Francisco Fly-Casting Club, it is rumored, is contemplating the acquisition of a fishing preserve on the Truckee river. A section of that grand trout- ing stream between Martis creek and the "meadow pool," a half mile, or so to the east of Burkhalter station, is looked upon as a desirable location. U. M. C. On Top. Out of 37 shooters who were present at the San Leandro shoot last Sunday. 30 used U. M. C. ammuni- tion. Two of the shooters who broke the possible 25 used L". M. C. shells and Remington hammerless ns. Mr. Lon Hawxhurst, with a Remington gun and U. M. C. ammunition scored a possible 25 twice. Recent Winchester Wins. Ever hear of D. Wit Baker? Well, every trap shooter ought to know him, as a man that can shoot as well as he can is worth listening to. At the Tarentum (Pa.) Gun Club shoot, July 4th, he won high general average, and at Ligonier, Pa.. July 11 and 12, broke 355 targets out of 3S0 for the two days, an average of 93 per cent. In defense of this^ high score he saj-s proudly that he used Winchester factory loaded shells and a Winchester repeating shotgun. At Betterton, Mi, July 12-14, L. German and W. M. Ford won first and second amateur averages re- spectively, both using Winchester factory loaded shells. Trout Fry for Tulare. Sixty thousand Eastern brook trout fry were re- ceived at Porterville early this month. The young trout will be distributed in the streams of eastern A Popular Rifle. The famous Savage rifles are popular in every sec- tion of the United States. These rifles fire rapidly, and the prices are moderate, especially the little Sav- age 22-caliber Hammerless Repeater, which sells at $14.00, and the Savage Junior, 22-caliber single-shot rifle, price $5.00. These rifles are for sale by sporting goods dealers generally, and catalogue may be ob- tained by addressing the Savage Arms Company, 32 Turner street. Utica. N. Y. STOCK NOTES. Most diseases of stock are contag- ■us, therefore it ia a good plan to ;parate the sick from the well to keep sease from spreading. Probably the most profitable animal '• raise Is the hog. The litter is large, ■ey are ready for market early and •e usually of ready sale. It Is not wise to discard a sow be- ,use she Is old, if she is doing well, iless her place can be supplied by lie which Is sure to do better. Appearances pay. The sleek, well- oportloned animal of any kind, sells ostly readily and brings the best i Ice, It even pays the owner to slick i a little. A, Berub may lbok pretty well, but It only a scrub, and when compared th a thoroughbred, and what feed 11 do with a thoroughbred, he cannot ind the test. It don't pay, therefore, handle grades. 31ow growth Is what makes stock raising too slow for some. They can- not get their returns soon enough. It is not the largest, nor the fattest, but the animals that have put it on the quickest, that yield the largest profits. The runt seldom, if ever, pays. The animal that pays is the one that gets a good start in the world and keeps It. It may pay to raise the runt If feed Is no item. If feed is bought, the owner is better off if he is in, the other man's pen. Fences should be kept In good con- dition. Many a rogue has been made by having poor fences. There are times when every animal is restless. If they escape once, they are much more diffi- cult to control, and to confine than before. Hogs need fresh, clear water, even when they are fed slop. Clabber is not as good for growing pigs as buttermilk, or sweet milk. Whole oats are regarded by some as an Ideal feed for swine. They waste less when whole than when ground, Save the Race by Using The Wonderful California Liniment Aa a Rnbdown and Tonlo Before and After VITA OIL CURES DISEASES OP HORSES Removes and Prevents Lameness and Soreness For sale by Harness Dealers and Druggists everywhere.

For boldn i Idity of creation, few. if any, farms mwold, the country-seat of Thomas W. Lawson. Situated about two hours by rail from his beautiful home in i he southern shore s Bay, at a point i Egypt, it comprised until a short time a^ro some of the most rugged and I ground. Covered with bould Loose stone of all shapes and sizes is characteristic of the land there.; *' ta original fo led them to such a deg] sc ircely a patch of any i admit of plow- ing. Briai s > the chief vege- tation. All these have recently disappeared, and in their place there is now a flour- ishing farm of more than live hundred acre?. Truth to tell, it is like a para- dise dropped there by some propitious ty. From afar its numerous white dings, compared with the neighbor- ing scenery, look as pure as ivory, and between and beyond them on every are miles of fences overgrown with (in summer) blooming roses. These, together with shrubs and vines Of all kinds, give the impression of a kept park. Closer inspection, how- ever, reveals the practical combined with the artistic, and so amply that the whole forms almost an independent township. The meadows grow nothing but the purest green grass or whatever other crops they are devoted to, and in the paddocks and pastures graze herds of the best horses and cattle that money and scientific breeding can procure. The poultry runs contain the finest strains that can be found, and there are three thousand chickens of all varieties. Dovecotes have been constructed, in which coo the sleekest of doves, and on the ponds swim fat geese and ducks. . Scores of dogs of high pedi- gree fill the kennels, and at the head of each department is a skillful man- ager, the farm buildings being ar- ranged upon a scale of such amplitude as to afford abundant working space for the carrying out of every detail. Among their equipment for facilitating, work water is piped to each of them from an immense tower built for the purpose, and they are also provided with a sewerage system, said to be the most elaborate of the kind outside of those controlled by municipalities. Warm water is employed altogether for heating the buildings, and con- nected with the stables are bright, clean, comfortable sleeping apartments jnd separate kitchens for the men. A watch-clock system requires the watchman to make the rounds of stables, and there is a fire department, with engine, hook and ladder, hose reel and fire squad. Light is supplied by electricity, the wires for which, includ- ing those of a telephone system and the electric clock, are buried in lead nits. Nowhere on the farm stand ■ unsightly poles. True, the stand- ards for the electric lights are cedar- tree trunks, with the limbs lopped about a foot from the trunk, but on these the wires are so strung as to be unobservable, while over them and the tree trunks ivy and roses clamber in wild profusion. Certainly Dreamwold, therefore, is an appropriate name for the place, the 1 ise it is the realization of tnbition felt by Its owner when he was a poor boy. Its location might been elsewhere, however, if he had not, while driving with his wife along the old Egypt road, come across an ancient farm house, from whose h the grandeur of the view took .such a strong hold upon Mrs. Lawson she wanted a home built upon its I ■■ Simultaneously with the expres- sion of his wife's admiration for the , there came Into Mr. Lawson's i his juvenile dream of a farm. What if the soil comprising this old homestead was not of th- : arable, i jb- produclng sort, such as exists, for in- ■ , in the blue-grass region in liCky, with which he was familiar? was one thing in its favor. It near enough to Boston so that he 1 ■ it his home during certain seasons of the year, or all the year J, if he chose, and on his way to or from the train have time to pat horses or whistle to the dogs In- . this privilege was one of the most vital parts of his dream. Why, then. not buy this place? His wife wanted it, and here, even if It should cost a little extra, he could carry out his long-cherished project. He did pur- tract, despite its sterility and uninviting appearance, and every- thing adjoining it. Forthwith he got together contract- ors irchitects and landscape garden- and while these performed the nical part he furnished the ideas. In a short time a thousand laborers, with one-fifth their number of horses, put to work, and just to clear those five hundred acres of rocks cost upwards of $200,000. A large portion of them went into the construction of macadamized roads, driveways and lanes, and a wonderfully elaborate drainage system; the cobbles of cer- tain sizes were used for gutter pav- ing. The aim was to have all the work proceed in unison without necessitat- ing rehandling, and so well was this carried out that at the end of a little more than two years from the com- mencement of operations Dreamwold Farm made its appearance practically as it stands today, at the cost of over a million dollars. A half million more has since been added in ornamenting the estate here and there and in stock- ing it with horses, cattle, dogs, fowls, pigeons and the like. The largest building on the place is the training stable. It has a frontage of eight hundred feet, with accommo- dations for one hundred horses, and was completed in seventy-two work- ing days. Another large structure is the riding academy or exercise ring. This was built in fifty-six days. Sev- enty-five days were required to finish three stables devoted to brood mares, and ninety days to erect and polish oft eight other stables. Connected with these there is a mile race track, a training track and a polo field. At the head of the breeding stud is the magnificent black stallion Dare Devil (2:09). It is claimed that Mr. Lawson paid C. J. Hamlin $50,000 for him. Likewise did he pay $7500 for Flying Fox, which is the record price for a Jersey bull, although there are others that have sold much higher pri- vately. Some promising specimens of Jerseys have already been obtained by mating this animal with the choice cows on the farm, and especially with Figgis, which won the grand champion- ship for aged cows at the St. Louis Exposition last year. Unlike most of her companions, Fig- gis is American bred. She was dropped May 9, 1S91, her sire being Sophy's Tormentor (No. 20SS3), and her dam Birdseye Surprise (No. 48326), whose record was 14 1-S pounds of butter. In six months after dropping her second calf Figgis gave 7442 pounds S ounces of milk, equivalent to 44S pounds of butter. She subsequently gave fifty pounds 7 ounces of milk in one day, and in seven days 329 pounds 4 ounces, which -tested 19 pounds 15 ounces of butter. Her milk record for one year is an ounce of 7444 pounds, or 472.95 pounds of butter. In four years she produced 25,172 pounds 3 ounces of milk, or 1,593.30 pounds of butter. She is kept under the same conditions and treated exactly in the same way as the other cows on Dreamwold Farm. The sanitary conditions of their quarters, of course, are of the very best, the presence of running water and arrangements for washing and flushing making it possible for cleanli- ness always to be observed. The cows are never forced, however, it being preferable to have a fair production and good health than high milk and butter records and ruined constitutions. Their grain ration consists of a mix- ture of bran, ground oats and oil meal. They get corn ensilage once a day, and are fed fine English hay or clover hay, whichever happens to be in stock. Every day they are turned out for ex- ercise, but in the coldest weather no longer than is essential for good health and condition. Activity in the stock market brings with it the schemers connected with the business. The old games of selling cheap stock at high prices is being practiced. Some unknown party will appear bringing handsome males, and produce a long pedigree and demand for a fancy price. Too often he gets It The only safe way to buy a good animal is to get a good judge of the kind wanted to go to a reliable breeder who has a reputation to make or to keep, and buy what is wanted. The purchaser would better go with the expert. When rearing a calf It should be re- membered that it is to occupy the posi- tion of a money-maker after a while, and should be so treated that it may make as much for us as possible. CLEAN FOOD FOR THE HOGS. In the last issue of The Journal we spoke of the necessity of clean water for the hogs, and in this we will treat on the advantages Of clean food. Because a hog will eat almost any- thing that is given him when he is hungry is hardly a sufficient reason why he should be given filthy food. It is too often the case that what is not considered tit food for any other class of stock on the farm is given to the hogs in order to save it. And not only is it often the case that the food given is filthy, but it is given under filthy conditions. The feeding troughs and places are allowed to accumulate filth, and if the hog stands it well and good; if he succumbs to it and dies, bad luck is the cause and a new start of hogs is made, but it is only in excep- tional cases that an improvement is made in the treatment. Filth breeds disease, and in a majority of cases the man who keeps his hogs healthy keeps them clean first, and feeds them clean food. One item in supplying clean food is to have the troughs and feeding floors clean. In many cases a good scrubbing will be necessary, while in others a good sweeping will answer. A sprinkle of lime or air-slacked lime into which a small quantity of carbolic acid has been mixed will help purify- ing the feeding floors and troughs. If slop is fed care should be taken to feed it clean, and to keep the vessels clean. Clean slop is a healthy, nutri- tious food, and can always be fed to growing pigs to advantage. But slop is too often considered all the waste about the house and barn. If there is only mouldy oats or bran, partly-rotted corn or decaying vegetables, they are thrown to the hogs or made into slop. Instead of hogs being made the scav- engers of the farm they should be gleaners. Whatever is not fit to be converted into human food through the hog should be buried or turned into the compost heap, and if this plan is followed much better health will be readily maintained. But the cleanli- ness must not only apply to food, but tc the quarters, also, if the best health is to be maintained and the best qual- ity of product secured. To some extent, at least, the quality of the meat is affected by what the animals eat, and to secure the best health and at the same time the best quality of meat, the food must be wholesome, clean and nutritious, and in many cases a little more care in this respect would not only lessen the losses, but improve the breed. TO PRODUCE BUFF COLOR. It is safe to presume that there is no color of a fowl so hard to produce and maintain as the buff color. There is but one true buff color. Lemon shade is not buff; a red or cinnamon color is not buff; neither is a reddish brown a buff; the true shade is "golden buff." The term used for standard buff color is "one even shade of rich, golden buff, free from shaftings or mealy appear- ance." This is simply a true rich buff of golden hue. Many produce a thin, uneven shade of lemon yellow and call it buff, while others favor a deep or- ange buff or cinnamon color and pre- sent it as the true shade for buff. These are not the true golden buff. The proper shade or buff, say, is a mixture of yellow, red, and white, or a combination of yellow and pink. This is absolutely true when mixing colors on the palette, but many years of ex- perience have proved that it is far more difficult to control the color of plumage than to properly mix the paints. It is easy to say: Keep out the black or drive out the white. But it appears when least expected. Buff is a made color — it is not natural color — and there is but one rule for its cer- tain production, and that is the union of the truest color possible to obtain, year after year, until a strain is estab- lished that will breed true to color. A continued system of inbreeding for good, sound plumage color has many drawbacks. Reduction of size and loss of form are the most serious. To obviate this, new blood must be intro- duced from time to time, the admission' of which brings with it more or less disturbance of color lines, causing a continual oscillation between good color and good form. One of the prin- cipal assurances of good color Is the proper undercolor and color of shaft- ing or quills — all of which should be buff to the skin and of a shade some- what lighter than surface color. What- ever the shade of buff may be, let It be even and true all over and throuj and through. It is not advisable to mate light ai dark specimens; the result will be mealiness in plumage of chicks. Tl very best selection is of females havii the true golden buff, and of mal whose breast color is one or two shad darker than the females, all to be ve even in color and free from any shai other than the buff. Black and whi should be avoided. If white is pre ent, it is quite likely to show in unde color^ and on ■ wings of the offsprin Black will show in the wings and ta Both are equally objectionable; POULTRY NOTES. - - - Ten hens wall eat' an -ounce of-boi daily. .- 'Medicine1 is1 seldom necessary f fowls that are properly cared for Air slaked lime is valuable in mar ways in the poultry house as a dish fectant.

It shows Dan Flying Through The Air with every 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 iu 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 enjoys 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. <5TWaich For Dan's Exhibition Dates This Fall. He Is Faster Than Ever. DO YOU WANT MORE SPEED?

THE SECOND BREEDERS' FUTURITY, which was for foals of 1902, all the divisions of which have now been decided, developed two noteworthy features. The entries and payments were so numerous that the stake exceeded its guaranteed valuation of $6000 by over $1500, after all expenses of advertising, etc., were paid, and it brought out the grandest lot of trotting and pacing youngsters seen in California for years. At San Jose last year the two-year-old divisions were trotted and paced. The pacing division had three starters, Delilah by Zolock, Mona Wilkes by Demonio, and Roberta by Robert I. Delilah won and took a record of 2:16% in the second heat. This was the fastest heat paced by a two-year-old in 1904. Mona "Wilkes took a record of 2:17% later in the year, and Roberta one of 2:19%. The trotting division had eight starters. It was a fast race for colts and fillies of that age. North Star by Nutwood Wilkes won the first heat in 2:24 and got second money, Bellemont by Zombro won the next two in 2.22% and 2:21% and took first money, Ambush by Zolock got third money and Alhasham by Athadon fourth money. Gluck by Zombro, El Rey by Nushagak, Mamohio by Demonio and Elma S. by Nutwood Wilkes finished in the order named, and none were outside the flag. At the close of the season the records of these two -year- olds were as follows: Belemont, 2:20%: North Star, 2:24; Ambush. 2:20, Athasham, 2:20, and the others had worked heats around 2:20, but failed to get records. This year the three-year-olds of this stake came out for the money. The result of the stake events at Santa Rosa, where' the Breeders' meeting was held, appear in the columns of this journal. There were five starters in the pacing division. Mona Wilkes, second in the two-year-old pace last year, won this year and took a record of 2:11%. Mamonio that started as a trotter last year and failed to get any money, was shifted to the lateral gait this season, won two heats and second money and took a record of 2:14%. Just It, a very fast colt, was third. The race took five heats to decide. The three-year-old trot is fully described in another part of this issue. Five of the eight that started last year were again competitors and Ken- neth C, a non-starter of last year, was added to them, making a field of six. Again was the time fast. and the Nutwood Wilkes colt North Star won in straight heats in the fastest time ever trotted in a stake race in California — 2.13%, 2:13% and 2:16. As in the two-year-old trot, not a colt was behind the flag. The Pacific Breeders' Futurity has been a great thing for California breeders, and it will grow greater as the years go by. THE STATE FAIR will open Saturday next, and what a change there is in the sentiment of the people of the State of California toward the association un- der whose auspices it is given from that of last year. Then it was the opinion of many that no more State Fairs would be held, but there was too much of good about the time-honored institution to allow a year or two of bad luck and mistakes to kill It, so the Legislature permitted the State Agricultural Society to sell the old grounds, which were too small, and to purchase other and more spacious grounds further out from the business center of Sacramento. The sale of the old track, and a generous appropriation by the Legislature has put the society entirely out of debt and paid for many new and substantial build- ings on the new grounds, which are planned to be the best appointed fair grounds in the United States. Instead of any ill feeling being felt against the di- rectorate every taxpayer and breeder in California interested in fairs is now speaking a good word for that body and is doing all he can to help make the fair of 1905 a success in every way. The cattle and horse breeders of the Coast will make the finest and largest exhibit of fine cattle and draft horses ever seen this side the Rocky Mountains. The pavilion exhibit will be something different than ever before, nearly twenty counties of the State making extensive exhibits of their products under the auspices of the order of Native Sons, for four grand prizes offered by the Society. These prizes are $500 for first, $250 for second, $150 for third and $100 for fourth. Ad- mission to the pavilion will be free. There will be but one admission at the track, which will enable all to see the races and the stock parades for one fee. It will be the greatest fair that has been held on the Coast for many years. Don't miss it, and be there Saturday. September 2d, the opening day to see the Occident Stake trotting". AMONG THE FOALS of 1905 there will be several with speed enough at two and three years of age to win a lot of money if they are eligible to start in any of the divisions of the Breeders' Futurity for foals of this year. There is a third payment of $5 due next Friday, September 1st, on foals entered in this stake. If you have an entry see that it is paid up on, as there is no possible chance to win any part of the money unless payments are all made. If you have no entry, but own a foal of this year that you would like to name in this stake, send in an application to Secretary Kelley at this office immediately as there are a few nominators whose foals have died, or whose mares failed to produce, that will be willing to sell their nominations. The great ambition of every breeder should be to own a stake winner, as nothing adds to the reputation and value of stallions and brood mares like the winning of prominent stakes by their produce. There are many colts trained every year in California and elsew^here whose owners would willingly pay five times the amount of the entrance money could they by so doing make their colts eligible to start in the Breeders' Futurity, but because they failed to enter originally or to keep up their pay- ments their colts are barred from winning anything but a few paltry purses. The payments on the Futurity for foals of this year are small and not numerous. The stake is guaranteed to be worth $7000. It will not be worth a cent less, and it may, like the stake decided this year, be worth a thousand or two more than the guaranteed amount. Breeders should not permit their payments to lapse, and those who failed to enter should apply for nominations immediately. Don't let the date of payment, Friday. September 1st, slip your memory. THOSE WHO DID NOT make an original entry in the Pacific Breeders' Futurity Stakes No. 5 for foals born this year, can purchase from nominators whose mares failed to foal or whose foals died, an entry in this rich stake, and $12, which is the amount of the previous payments and the payment dile on September 1st, will buy the entry and keep the colt in to February 1st, 1906. Send the entry, giving color and sex of the foal with name of sire and dam to F. W. Kelley. secretary, 36 Geary street, San Fran- cisco. As there are but a fewr nominations for sale and it's "first come, first served," those who wish to take advantage of this opportunity should do so at nee. READVILLE RACES. The Grand Circuit meeting of the New England Trotting Horse Breeders' Association cut down from five to two days on account of the law prohibiting betting on the events, opened on Tuesday of this week with beautiful weather and the track excep- tionally fast. As the races were all for the stakes which closed early, the number of starters was not any smaller on account of the prohibition of pool selling, and about five thousand people attended. The real race of the afternoon was in the 2.14 trot, known as 'The Ponkapoag." Another feature was the fast mile paced by Audubon Boy in exhibition. 'This pacer was scheduled for a three-cornered match race with Ecstatic and Belle Mc, but the owners of the latter horses failed to post their stakes and so the event was called off. On this account Audubon Boy was brought out and stepped a mile in 2:01 4-5, the fastest mile of this season. The frac- tional time of the mile was 0:31%, 1:03%. 1:33%. 2:01 4-5, making the last half in 0:58% and the last quarter in 0:28%. There is no doubt as to the stal- lion's ability to pace a mile in two minutes. Deleree was favorite for the "Blue Hill" and the mare took the race in straight heats in a field of twelve starters. There was an upset in "The Ponka- poag" when Glenwood M., the selection of the regu- lar followers of the circuit, was beaten by Ethel's Pride, four heats being necessary. Glenwood M. won the first heat in a close finish with Turley, a quarter of a second being clipped off his record. Ethel's Pride won the second heat in a drive in the fast time of 2:07%. The mave continued her good work in the next two heats, winning them both very handily. The American Horse Breeder's Futurity for t\« year-old trotters, went to Noma, a filly by Walnut Hall, her miles being trotted in 2:19 and 2.20%. Admiral Dewey, son of Bingen and Nancy Hanks, was driven by his owner, Dr. McCoy, against his record of 2:09%. The handsome young horse trotted the mile in 2:06% and it is thought he will shade 2:05 before the season is ended. The summaries: Trotting, Blue Hill stake, 2:30 class, purse $5000.

On the second and last day of the New England Breeders' meeting at Readville big fields and fast rec- ords were the rule. Katherine L., the bay filly by Liberty Chimes, trotted the fastest three-year-old race of the year and won in straight heats in the re- markable time of 2:12% and 2:12%. Miss Adbell was second in the first heat and Charley De Ryder landed The Phantom second in the last heat. A six heat race resulted in the 2: OS class pacing stake of $5000. After Geary, Walter Direct and Di- rectum Miller had each taken a heat, the gray horse Allerson outgamed them and won the next three heats in slower time. He was not laid up, either, as he was only beaten a nose by Directum Miller in 2:05%, the fastest heat of the race. The Massachusetts $10,000 stake for 2:10 trotters had nine starters. Sadie Mac, the favorite, won the event and lowered her record to 2:05 in the fourth and final heat. She lost the second through a break in the stretch. The Zombro mare Zephyr took fourth money and was a good third in the=two fastest heats, which were in 2:06% and 2:05. John Caldwell was behind the money.

M - Too many people have lost sight of the sport Chicago Horseman: Continuous racing can be held responsible for the evil days on which racing has fallen. Continuous racing and the making of the speculative feature of the sport the main one. Too many people have lost sight of the sport and look upon racing merely as a game, a game for high stakes. The sen- sational press has helped things along with startling stories of money gained and lost, with two pages of form charts, previous performances and possible win- ners and two column editorials in denunciation of the very features they have fostered and which were never heard of until the advent of the "yellow" press. A remedy must be found and it will not do to look for it from the hands of those who have brought about this woeful state of affairs. The proprietors of running tracks in the West having killed the sport in some sections and blighted it in others still continue the warfare which will result in the suppression of racing in other sections. While this is going on the trotting men are doing a lot of talking but are taking no concerted action. The only remedy will be for those interested in racing in every State to take steps for securing reasonable legislation. In order to do away with continuous racing limit each meeting to not more than fifteen days. This would be fair to the owners of running tracks and would seldom be taken advantage of by trotting track managers. Even in so large a city as Chicago this would be plenty and would furnish sixty days of sport. Longer meetings drag before the close. This has been noted even at Washington Park, where the attendance has mater- ially decreased at the end of the meeting. Steps should be taken to forbid the construction of new tracks except in instances where a need for them is absolutely proven. With less racing the speculative features would not be so prominent, certainly not if the track owners would follow the example of Eastern managers and divorce the speculative and racing features. There is only one way to place rasing on a proper basis and that is by means of legislation. The public looks upon racing as racing and because of that fact the managers of all tracks and all who are interested in racing and breeding should work to- gether. In the past those who were not disturbed in holding their meetings were too content to let things drift along. What happened to their brother did not concern them until at last their fingers were jammed in the same door. As the pinch has been pretty gen- eral up to date it is high time that a united effort was made to put the sport on its proper basis. Kentucky Stock Farm: It is not the least surpris- ing that the practice so long in vogue of waiting until midsummer before getting their horses ready for racing has at last brought upon the trainers, remarks the Kentucky Stock Farm, who are largely responsible for this condition of affairs, the unfavorable com- ment that has lately been heard. Just why the drivers who so completely dictate the policies of harness racing should absolutely refuse to get ready before the last week in July is a difficult question to answer, unless, of course, it is from a desire on their part to extend the period of training as long as possible and to have as many pay days come around as they can before their charges are found wanting. Under the present condition a trainer finds it impossible to put off the evil hour when an owner makes up his mind that his horse is not possessed of capacity enough to justify a further expenditure of money, and he there- fore fattens on the misfortune of the man who pays the bill. He can by his dilatory methods and under the present conditions so train his horses that their owners are buoyed with the hope that at some future date they will be allowed to witness speed to justify a continuance of their training. The failure to bring off successfully early meetings can as a rule be laid at the door of the trainer himself, for the majority of the owners would much prefer that their horses be ready either to win a portion of the money ex- pended on them, or to clearly establish their want of capacity. So completely, however, do the trainers dominate the affairs of light harness racing that by adhering to the present tactics of procrastination they have been able to fix the date of the beginning of active racing at mid-summer. That horses can be got ready much earlier than the earlier part of July has fre- quently been proved, and it needs no other example of this fact than the condition of the horses in Ed Geers' charge, and the time made at the few earlier meetings that have been held. Geers could have begun his campaign, if it had been necessary, on the first of July, and while it may be said that his case is an exceptional one, from the fact that he has win- tered in the South, the work done already by the trotters and pacers which have been trained in New England, as well as the condition of many others be- ing prepared in climates more severe than the one at Memphis, is evidence enough, if any one need it. 1 that if the Grand Circuit began on the first day of July, the condition of the horses would be fully as far advanced as under the present arrangement. If a yearling can be prepared for a quarter in thirty- five seconds, surely a matured horse can be got ready for something like his best efforts by that time. The chief reason why light harness racing should begin much earlier than it does now lies in the fact that the ; public becomes impatient first, then may look to some other form of pastime, for it must be remembered that all who attend trotting meetings are not horse enthusiasts, experts or turf followers, but are indeed to a very great extent, pleasure-seekers. One reason why trotting meetings fall to attract a large propor- tion of the so-called fashionable element is because they are held at a season of the year when there is an exodus to the many summer resorts, and it is on this account that the running meetings in the vicin- ity of New York City are so scheduled that they profit by the presence of the element' in question, being held before and after the pleasure-seekers take thir summer vacations. It may be said by a few who have contempt for the so-called fashionable ele- ment of society that their presence is not essential to the best interests of the sport, yet this view is, we think, a narrow one, for that very element can not only afford to patronize a sport, but its presence adds greatly to the standing the pastime has and certainly gives it a prestige that is lacking if that element is conspicuous by its absence. In view of the fact that the racing public is eager for light harness racing to begin long before the first important meet- ing is held, that the average owner would be only too glad of an opportunity to reimburse himself, something should be done to bring about a radical change from existing methods. Doubtless there are some cities where a meeting of more than six days' duration could be given successfully, and if this is found to be the case, a great boon would be con- ferred on owners of racing stables, who under the present arrangement, suffer greatly as a result of frequent changes of base. The fact that there are some trainers able to prepare their horses by the first of July, no matter in what zone their training opera- tions are held, contradicts the assertion so frequently made by other trainers that it is impossible to get ready before the latter part of the same month, and if the stewards of the Grand Circuit could see their way clear to begin the Grand Circuit three or four weks earlier than they now do. extend the meetings in some cities, if necessary, or add other cities to the present list, the business end of light harness racing would be greatly improved and the racing public pleased beyond expression. provides excellent sport from start to finish with aM the horses trying each heat. Spectators used to the system which allows them to bet that a dozen hoi will bent the favorite may not tie so well satisfied as in order to win they have to pick a winner more frequently than was the case in the three in five. The books receive a big play, several times larger than was formerly the case, while the auctions do not do so much business. That the general public likes the new system was demonstrated by the way it turned out after the two big stake races had been decided. When once the public understands that it can go to the races at a reasonable hour: see every race decided and be able to return home in time for dinner, then the gate receipts will increase in a notice- able manner, and it is about time that the general public should be catered to instead of a few score of the regulars. Horse Show Monthly: In justice to themselves, to their horses and to the breeders who produce these horses, owners of successful trotting-bred show ani- mals should, as far as possible, ascertain and give publicity to the pedigrees of their blue-ribbon win- ners. This should be done in order that men who wish to breed heavy-harness horses from trotting sires may be guided in their selection of a stallion. The Horse Show Monthly has recently been in re- ceipt of many inquiries from owners of mares as to where they could secure service from a trotting horse who had distinguished himself by siring horse-show winners. Owners of horses like Newsboy, Polly Prim, Whirl of the Town, Coxey, Petroleum, Sporting Life, Prince of Orange, Maid of Athens, Lucille and Lord Brilliant should, as far as possible, ascertain and give publicity to the pedigree of the horses. Owners of stallion^ which have sired prize winners are doing themselves a great financial injury when they neglect to advertise the achievements of their sires. Since the United States Government determined to establish a breed of heavy-harness horses from trot- ting sources, a great impetus has been given to this special line of equine production. Many breeders who were in a quandary about what course to pursue have come to the conclusion that they cannot do bet- ter than follow the intelligent lead of the Government. The scarcity of good heavy-harness and saddle horses has been given such extensive publicity that producers are sure to attempt to supply the demand. This being the case, the trotting-bred horse who has proven his prepotency by siring show-ring winners is cer- tainly sure of extensive patronage next year. The pedigree of the hackney winners is carefully kept and extensively exploited. It is only justice to the trotting horse that his friends see that he is given publicity equal to that accorded the hackney. The question as to whether harness racing can be successfully conducted without the adjunct of pool- selling would seem to have never had a better chance to be determined than on the occasion of the mid- summer meeting of the New England Breeders' As- sociation at Readville last week. Trotting has for many years had a vogue in Boston which has perhaps been shared by no other community in the L^nited States. Thoroughbred racing in the vicinity has never existed to distract the attention or alienate the interest of the public from the other sport. Great breeding farms have been reared in New England, producing horses that have achieved world-wide cel- elbrity. thereby whetting the local appetite for sulky racing, until trotting has come to be regarded at Boston as a synonym for all that is popular in sport. Under these circumstances it might be presumed that if the pastime could maintain its fascination as a pastime merely, without regard to or consideration of its speculative feature, in any place in the coun- try, it could do so at Boston. The meeting itself last week was calculated to insure, if possible, a favorable solution of the question. Better racing has not been seen at any track this season. The contests were clean and sharp and the time fast. Four trotters were added to the 2:10 list, an achieve- ment vouchsafed by no other meeting this year. There was from first to last nothing about the meeting which should fail to conduce to the presence of large crowds every day — except the absence of pool-selling. What was the result? A frost. The Boston Globe tells the story briefly but forcefully: "The racing failed to produce any excitement, and the attendance on the last two days was so small that it did not deserve the name of a crowd. Never was better racing seen than on Wednesday and Thursday, but outside the Sweet Marie-Tiverton race it was hardly commented on. There is no use minc- ing matters. The sport has been sapped of its very life. It is one of those unexplainable things, but fc fact nevertheless, that even the followers of racing who never make a wager of any sort, women as well as men. lose all interest when present conditions prevail." This is the truth in a nutshell Singular as it may appear it is true that even the people who never bet lose their interest in racing on which betting is not conducted. The fate of the Readville meeting will be the fate of every association that attempts to conduct trotting without pool-selling under present methods, no matter how much we may wish that it were other otherwise. It may be possible to devise a method by which the interest of the public can be held by the mere spectacular phase of the sport. but it has not been discovered, and the individual who can demonstrate it will be hailed by all horse- men as the greatest philanthropist of the limes. — Trotter and Pacer. SPOKANE INTER-STATE FAIR. Mr. D. J. Campau. who runs the Blue Ribbon meet- ing at Detroit, and is also proprietor of the Chicago Horseman, prints the following editorial in the last issue of his journal: The Grand Circuit had a glorious opening at the Gross Point track, Detroit, last week. The attend- ance was all that could be desired. On M. & M. day the crowd was larger than on the previous year and on that day a record was made. The track itself was in excellent condition, the time made amply evi- dencing that fact. Both the starting and the judging were excellent and all in all there was nothing to mar the week's entertainment save the unfortunate shower on Tuesday and the rain on Friday, one necessitating a delay of nearly two hours while the other caused the last day's card to be curtailed after two heats in each of the three races had been trotted or paced. A great deal of interest centered in the fact that the entire card was raced off on the three heat, every heat a race plan. For the public this plan is a great improvement over the old as it enables the patrons to see all and return home at a season- able hour. Owing to the fact that the race is practi- cally over if a horse wins the first two heats, the third heat leaves a loophole for dishonest practices. Because of this a first-class judges' stand is abso- lutely essential, but such is the case under any plan if the racing is to be first class. Fortunately the judges at Detroit met all requirements and there was little chance for criticism, the only really suspicious looking heat being the second one in the 2:04 pace when the time was but 2.08% and the announcement from the stand that the last quarter was In 29% seconds was evidently in the nature of an apology. The fact that Geers was third in that heat and won the next in 2:06 showed that probably more than one driver made a mistake in estimating the capacity of his horse for a race early in the season. But taken right straight through the three-heat system Three of the largest fairs in the Pacific Northwest close the week before the Spokane Interstate Fair opns. This means there will be all manner of good attractions at the Spokane Fair this year. It opens October 9 — the week following the Montana State Fair at Helena, the Washington State Fair at North Yakima, and the big Provincial Fair at New West- minster. B. C. The appropriations for this latter amount to $75,000 this year. The Lewis and Clark Exposition will also be draw- ing to a close at this time and many attractions will go from there to Spokane. This means the racing program should be filled with many entries and that the tried and best horses will be on the Spokane track, where final scores for the season will be settled. These other fairs, including the Portland Fair, will be a help to Spokane, rather than otherwise. The midway at Spokane should be crowded with more attractions and better and more novel sights than ever before. Gil Curry says that he would not like anything better than to get the Readville track and give a 60 days' meeting for the harness horses, every race to be on the dash system. He would have entrance free, and the purses for {500 each, divided three ways, $400 to first, $75 to second and $25 to the third horse. He thinks that every horseman in the country would come with their stables, thus saving the shipping expenses of traveling all around to the many tracks, as at present, besides the money they would save in entrance fees. His method of betting would be by the Paris mutual system, claiming it is the fairest ever invented for the matter of speculation on races.

Hoy of Win- on easily from the Del Norte filly Magladi, owned by Judge Brents of Walla Walla, in straight heats in the remarkable time of 2:15^4 and 2:16%. McFadyen wears nothing but his harness and is one ■ >f the greatest prospects in California. In the second heat he made a break and was more than a distance out at the first quarter, but settled down and paced the middle half in 1:05. Magladi is a high-class filly but McFadyen is a wonder. The 2:13 trot was a betting race and a splendid contest. The Santa Rosa contingent thought Robi- zola could win and made her favorite at $20 to $15 for the field. When Dr. Hammond took the first heat in 2:11%. a new record for him, he was backed at $S to $10 for the field. Dr. Hammond looked to be the winner of the second heat, but broke in the with such ease that he finished every mile easily. ('has. Whitehead of Salinas handled the reins over the son of Nutwood Wilkes and drove a perfect race. The Los Angeles horsemen were so confident that the Zombro filly Bellemont would win that they made her favorite before the race at $20, Ambush 2:14% selling at $16, and the field consisting of Ath- asham, Kenneth C. and Elma S., at $10. Athasham had the pole, Elma S. in second place. Ambush next, Kenneth C. in fourth position, Bellemont in fish and North Star on the outside. There were a half dozen scores before they got the word and Athasham went to the front, closely followed by Ambush, North Star in third place. They went to the half in 1:07 and at the head of the stretch Am- bush was leading. Here Whitehead called on North Star and he responded with a burst of speed that made the spectators marvel. Trotting as steady as a clock, acting like an old campaigner, he passed both the leaders and won by a length. Athasham was second, Ambush third, Kenneth C. fourth, Elma S. fifth and Bellemont, who was driven an easy heat, sixth. The backers of Bellemont reckoned that the time had cooked the tall awkward gelding, and put their money into the pool box again on the Los Angeles filly at $20 against $10 for Ambush and $10 for the field. n the second heat Athasham and Ambush led around the first turn, with Bellemont and North Star trailing in good positions. Ambush broke along the back stretch. Athasham led into the stretch, pressed by Belemont with North Star coming as before from third position and repeating his performance of the previous heat as to the time for the mile, 2:13^:, though the last quarter was a little slower for him. Athasham was again second, and demonstrated that with the phenomenal North Star out of the race, he could have beaten all the others.

When they got the word for the third heat it was seen that Durfee was making as desperate an effort as ever in his life to beat the Nutwood Wilkes three- year-old if Bellemont had it in her to do it. The two young trotters made a great struggle up the back stretch, but North Star's speed was too great for her and the filly broke. North Star took the heat and the race eased up to a jog in 2:16 amid the cheers of the crowd, who realized they had seen in the win- ner the best three-year-old produced in the United States this year. Athasham won second money, Belle- mont third and Ambush fourth. The $2000 trot for horses of the 2:24 class resulted in a rather cheap race. Of the sixteen original entries but four started. Charlie T. won after drop- ping a heat, and the best time was 2:16. There was hut little speculation on the event as it was clear that Charlie T. would win from the first. The 2:17 pace, which closed the day's sport, was a well contested event between eight hoppled pacers. John R. Conway by Diablo was the winner. He made a tangled break at the start of the first heat and finished fourth in 2:15%, Miss Winn, a daughter of Dlablo's brother, Demonio, taking the heat in 2:15*4. John R. Conway won the next three handily, pacing the fourth and final heat in 2:12%, an excellent per- formance.

In the 2.06 class pace, which Baron Grattan won after losing the second heat to Frank Tokum, the time of three heats was the fastest trotted or paced on the Grand Circuit this year — 2:04%, 2:04%, 2:04%.. Tiverton won the free-for all trotting event with ease. Sweet Marie lost her chance in the first heat by a break near the half-mile post and again in the second heat by breaking twice badly, once on the last turn and again in the stretch. She finished fourth in each heat. Pacing, 2:06 class, purse $1000.

August 19 — The Grand Circuit harness races closed here today with a good attendance. It was an off day for the favorites. Peruna, in the 2:10 pace, was the only horse picked to win who did win. Because Swago, in the 2:15 trot, was not doing as well as the judges thought he could, McBride was taken from behind him after the first heat and Benyon substituted. Swago did not -do as w-ell after the change as before. Swift B., son of Stam B, won the 2:15 trot in straight heats, reducing his record to 2:12%. He trotted like a high class horse. The surprise of the day developed in the 2:10 trot, which was won by Jim Ferry, entered by W. J. Briggs of Denver and driven by Franks. Ferry was not thought of until after the second heat. Clarita W. sold in the opening pools at $50, Topsy $15, Robert Mc. $15, Bonnie Russell $5, and the field, including Jim Ferry and the California horse, The Roman, at $10. The first heat was taken hy The Roman, second by Robert Mc, then Jim Ferry took two heats and the race. Summaries. Pacing, 2:10 class, purse $1000. Peruna, b. g. by Norbell (L.

A horse represents' an Investment which it wculd ray he owner to care for. Many valuable horses are lost because of Ignorance and careless neglect. Distemper Is a loathsome disease and some- what dangerous, hut there Is a sure preventive and cure for It. Modern science and practical experle ncp has evolved a treatment which Is a success. This s Craft's Liquid Distemper Cure Vet- erinary sureeons and practical horsemen endorse It It Is a spe- cific that acts both on the elands and the blood It is t» sure > re- ven'tve as well as a sure cure It may he used for sheep and dogs as well as h irses. The manufacturers agree to refund the price If It fal's to cure. Our readers interested should writ for new 32-page booklet, "Veterinary Pointers," free, to the Wells Medi- oine Co., 13 Third strest, Lafayette, Ind. i ■.0GUST 26, 1905, ©ftu gveebev ani> gpomman || NOTES AND NEWS. || California State Fair opens next Saturday. Don't miss seeing the Occident Stake trotted that day. The Southern California trotting circuit will open in October. There will be five or six meetings. North Star won the neat sum of $1750 for his owner, J. B. Iverson of Salinas, when he won the Breeders' Futurity last Saturday. Deloree 2:09% is a royally bred trotter and looks to be one of the best ones out this year. She is by Delmarch 2:11%, dam Hindee by Allerton 2:09%, sec- ond dam Elloree 2:08% by Axtell 2:12. Swift B. 2:12%, whose record was made in a win- ning race, is showing something of the form that was expected of him two years ago. Look out for a mile belowr 2:10 by him before the season is over. Get a new Flower City sulky from the San Francis- co "Wheel and Novelty Company and you will not lose the race because your horse had to pull a hard- running sulky. Nell by Estell Eric is now the dam of eleven standard performers, and four of them are in the 2:10 list. These are Vassar 2:07, Susie T. 2:09%, both pacers, and the trotters Belle Vara 2:08% and Tom Axworthy 2:07. Nell is the greatest of brood mares. Delia McCarthy by McKinney started in the 2:21 class trot at Saginaw, Michigan, last week but fin- ished outside the money. Her best heat was the sec- ond, when she finished third. This heat was in 2.18%. She was not better than sixth in any other heat. Lena N. 2:05% has a bay filly at foot by Directly 2:03%. This should be a pacer of the two minute class. Strathway 2:19 is now the sire of two 2:10 trotters — Toggles 2.08% and John Caldwell 2:09. Both are geldings. If you failed to enter that well bred foal of 1905 in the $7000 Breeders' Futurity put in your application to Secretary Kelley for a nomination. There are few mares that failed to foal and a few more whose foals died. You may be able to get one of these at the cost of same to date. You will have to apply quickly, however, if you want to get in. Nutwood Wilkes has now sired three trotters that have taken records better than 2:14 in their three- year-old form. They are Who Is It 2:12, John A. Mc- Kerron 2:12% and North Star 2:13%. As a sire of early and extreme speed Nutwood Wilkes is certainly "the goods," and one of his sons, John A. McKerron 2:04%, is the fastest trotting stallion of all the Wilkes tribe. Fanny G. by imported Margrave was one of the great thoroughbred mares whose blood has helped to make the fastest trotters. She was the grandam of Alma Mater, dam of eight in the list, and of such great sires as Alcyone, Alcantara, Allandorf, Alfonso, etc. Fanny G. was also the grandam of that great thoroughbred mare Dame Winnie that produced Palo Alto 2:08%. Altivo 2:18% and three others with standard records. Now a colt that is bred from the very best trotting strains that traces to old Fanny G. on both sides of his pedigree and is a fine individ- ual should make a great stock horse. Such a colt is Hannibal, son of Iran Alto 2:12% and Alma Wilks- wood by Alcantara, second dam Emma Nutwood, a great brood mare by Nutwood, third dam by Black Hawk 767, fourth dam by old 30-mile champion Gen. Taylor, and fifth dam by Williamson's Belmont. Hannibal is advertised for sale in this issue. If you want a good one, inquire more about him, and then you'll want to buy him. Bolivar 2:08% started three times at Buffalo and won twice. Miss Georgie by Nutwood Wilkes reduced her rec- ord in the third heat of the 2:12 pace at Dover, New Hampshire on Thursday of last week. She won the race very handily in straight heats in 2:11%, 2:12% and 2:10%. Miss Georgie is owned by W. A. Clark Jr. and was bred by Martin Carter of Irvington, Cal. Rey del Diablo started in the same race but was be- hind the money. Make your payment, the third one of $5, on. your foal of 1905, entered in the Pacific Breeders' Futurity. This payment must be made on or before September 1st, which is next Friday. Any division of this $8000 guaranteed stake is worth winning. Demand continues very active in the City of Mexico for high-class carriage horses from the United States. Of late several loads have been sent on to the Mexi- can capital from Chicago, the cost being about $300 to $350 each. Bay is the favorite color. Bonnie Mac. the tlu^-year-old fill,- by Bonnie Di- rect 2.0o%, dan, Myrtle 2:13%, owned by W. H. Lums- den of Santa Rosa, is keeping in good form and work- ing nicely for E,l Benson, who is preparing her for the Kentucky Futurity. She recently trotted a mile in 2:14%. last half in. I : On. and it did not seem to bother her. She will be in hot company in that big stake, as Susie N. 2:13% and Katherine L. 2:14%, that took their records at Buffalo two weeks ago, are both in this stake. The mother of the well known trainer and driver, John Dickerson, died at Greensburgh, Illinois, week before last. East View Farm does not seem to be winning many purses this year. Bolivar 2:0S% has been feeding the other horses in the string thus far. Bystander by Zolock won two heats and second money at Decatur, Illinois, August 16th. His two heats were in 2:14% and 2:15. Harry B.- won the race and took a record of 2:13%. C. C. Crippen of Mayfiekj tells the following story: In the only race in which ■North Star, winner of this year's Breeders' Futurity for three year olds, started last year, he won the first heat in 2:24. It was at San Jose in the two-year-ol.i. division of the same stake. In the second heat Will durfee turned the filly Belle- mont loose. When he had collared North Star and felt sure that Bellemont had him at her mercy he said to Whitehead, "'How' -do you like her?" Well, of course Whitehead had to like her, as she won that heat, the next and the race. In the third heat of last Saturday's race at Santa Rosa, Durfee did what the public expected him to do — made a desperate effort to win. He got on even terms with North Star on the back stretch, and for a ways the gelding and the filly trotted like a double team. Just at the half White- head turned on a little more steam and at the same time said to Durfee. "How do you like him?" "I can't beat you," Billy responded. Bellemont evidently thought so, too, as she immediately made a break which lost her all chance of victory over the colt she vanquished a year ago. There is no doubt that it did Charley Whitehead as much good to ask Will Durfee that question as it did Mr. Iverson, owner of North Star, to win the big end of the stake. T. W. Barstow's filly Just It paced a splendid race in the three-year-old division of the Breeders' Fu- turity at Santa Rosa and won third money. In last week's Breeder it was stated that Just It had paced a half in 1:00% at San Jose. This is a mistake. It was. Mr. Barstow's three-year-old colt High Fly that paced that phenomenal half. W. H. Williams at the San Jose track advertises a five-year-old sorrel gelding for sale that will make a fine driving horse for a gentleman. The gelding can step a quarter in 37 seconds and is perfectly sound and gentle. It is said that Dan Mahoney of White Plains, New York, sold Deleree, winner of- the Blue Hill Stake, for $1S,500 a week before the race. Mahoney bought her for $500. The Tulare Fair Association -will hold a fair and race meeting at Tulare from the 16th to the 21st of October. The purses will be $400 and $500, with en- trance five per cent. The track, which is a fast one, will be in first class condition. Secretary Ingwerson announces that the program will be ready for publi- cation about the first of September. For any infor- mation or particulars address him at Tulare. In the published lists of three year olds on which starting payment was made in the Harness Stallion Stake to be trotted at the State Fair this year, the name of Thos. Smith's filly Vallejo Girl has been in- advertently omitted. Mr. Smith's filly had all the payments made on her and will start in the race. Will Durfee, who looked over the new State Fair track at Sacramento last Monday, said: "The condi- tion of the track is excellent. The width, the soil and the grading are all that could be desired, and I be- lieve it will be very fast. In my opinion it is the best laid track in California, which is saying a good deal. The stable accommodations are such as to de- light the heart of every careful trainer and owner." The Tulare race track and grounds are offered for sale for $7000. There is a fast mile track, 60 box stalls, 300 feet of open stalls, a 3000 gallon tank with engine and pump complete. The grand stand will seat 2000 people. There is u six room cottage on the grounds also. Ten acres are in alfalfa and the place can be made to pay a handsome profit on the invest- ment. The price asked for the entire plant is only $7000. As there are 90 acres of land this is a rare bargain. If you are interested write to the Breeder and Sportsman for terms. Winfield Stratton. son of Chas. Derby's brother, Saraway, has reduced his record a half second and it is now 2:05%. The three quarter mile track at Davisville, Yolo county, is not yet completed, but will be before the 1906 training season opens. The new track was laid out in an old vineyard and a great deal of work Is required to put it in shape. The survey was made, the old vines pulled up, and the track graded, but it has been decided to defer the working of the surface into shape until after the fall rains. A number of trainers have signified their intention of locating there when the track Is finished and stalls built. Adam G. and Charley T. are both entered for the -:15 class trot which is down for decision on the open- ing day of the State Fair. Those who saw the split heat fast race at Santa Rosa on the opening day in' the race where these two were contenders will not lie sin-prised to see another just such race when they meet at the new Sacramento track. Palmer Clark says there is a prevalent opinion, on account of her name, that The Broncho is not well bred, but the opinion is all wrong. She was bred by her present owner, R. D. Adams, Dixon. 111., and is now seven years old. Her sire, Stormcliffe, was by ■W ychffe and he by George Wilkes, out of a Mambrino Patchen mare. Stormcliffe's dam was Happy Prin- cess, record 2:23, by Happy Medium and out of a great brood mare by a son of George M. Patchen while the dam of The Broncho was also by a grand- son of George M. Patchen Her grandam was by Lakeland Abdallah, a full brother to Harold, sire of Maud S. She got her name through her unruly dis- position when she was broken, and that she should, have proved such a speedy and ideal mannered mare is certainly greatly to the credit of her trainer and driver, Charles Dean. The 2:09 class pace on the opening day of the Cali- fornia State fair should prove a great contest. Zolock is not in this race, but there is a great bunch of fast ones. Those entered are Daedalion 2:10, Nellie R. 2:10. Miss Idaho 2:10%, Nance O'Neill 2:09%, Alone 2:09%, Vision 2.09%, Jonesa Basler 2:11%, Kelly Briggs 2:09%, Tidal Wave 2:09, Rita H., 2:11%, Le Roi 2:10%, and Hassalo 2:11. Arroyo Grande, in San Luis Obispo county, is ar- ranging for a race meeting to take place in Novem- ber. The meeting will probably extend over three days. Many local horses are being prepared for the events. Washington Park, Chicago, where the amateur cup races are to be held' this year, is a very slow track for trotters and fast time need not be expected. Major Delmar and Lou Dillon will both go exhibition miles, but will not come within seconds of their rec- ords owing to the soft track which, while ideal for runners, is not suited for harness horses. Mr. J. B. Iverson of Salinas, breeder and owner of Nor*h Star 2:13%, has not been a very extensive breeder, but so far as quality is concerned he has made a commendable showing. Among the record horses bred by him are Dictatress 2:0S%, North Star (3) 2:13%, Princess 2:13%, Prince Gift 2:12, Diablita 2:15%, the first and last named being pacers, the others all trotters. Mr. Iverson has bred many others with records, but the above are a few which we re- call from memory. Owyho 2:09%, son, of Owyee and Bertha, dam of Diablo 2. OS1.,, Don Deibv 0i%, etc., paced a great race at Poughkeepsie when he finished a close second to Peiflna in two heats in 2:06%. Great is the family of Bertha. The death of Gen. A. W. Barrett of Los Angeles was anounced last week. Gen. Barrett was at one time a Director of the California State Agricultural Society and often acted as one of the udges during the races held at the annual State Fair. He was also Bank Commissioner under Governor Budd. He ren- dered brilliant service in the army during the Civil War, and was honorably discharged in 1S65. Gen. Barrett was held in great esteem by all who knew him. . S. E. Kent of Los Angeles should have the honor of making a new 2:10 performer this year. He drove Bonnie Ailsie to her record of 2:08% at the Los An- geles meeting in July. Los Angeles and Sonoma counties were both bene- fitted by an- exchange of horses that was effected at Santa Rosa last week during the Breeders' meeting. Frank S. Turner, lessee of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, sold two splendidly bred Sidney Dillon two- year-olds to Mrs. L. J. H. Hastings of Los Angeles, and purchased from that lady the well bred stallion Sky Pointer Jr.. son of Sky Pointer and Juliet D. 2:13% by McKinney. The Sidney Dillon youngsters secured by Mrs. Hastings were Judge Dillon, a grand looking two-year-old colt whose dam is that great brood mare Eveline, dam of Ole 2:10%, Roblet 2.12. Tietam 2:19, etc., by Nutwood, and Rapidan Dillon, that is out of the famous $10,000 mare By By by Nut- wood. By By is the dam of Morengo King that worked a mile in 2:13% and of L. W. Russell, sire of five or six in the list. It is stated that Sky Pointer Jr. was traded even for Rapidan Dillon, and that Mrs. Hastings paid $2500 for the colt Judge Dillon. It is said that no less than one thousand horses and mules are at work on the Moulton levee In Colusa county at the present time. This levee, when com- pleted, will reclaim thousands of acres of rich land, and protect many thousand more from overflow from the waters of the Sacramento River during the rainy seasons. When praising the colt that won the Breeders' Futurity for three-year-olds, trotting two heats in 2:13%, don't forget to say a good word or two for Athasham, Mr. George Warlow's good colt by Atha- don, that was a good second in both those heats. Athasham trotted beter than 2:15 twice in the race. A small boy and his father were on the special re- turning from Santa Rosa last Saturday evening. The "kid" after looking out the window for a long time, gazing at the heavens, said, "Say, pop. how does the north star stay in the same place all the time." Pater familias looked at his hopeful with a look of disgust for a moment, and tearing up a bunch of tickets on Bellemont he had taken from his pocket, replied, "Because he's too damn fast for the others to get up to him." 8 f&Uc gveeiicx nub ^#xfantQ& [AUGCST 2(i, 1906 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

The Empire Gun Club merchandise shoot on Sep- tember 9th and 10th will be a "corker." The program of events will be practically the same as at the shoot last year. A large and varied list of prizes has been donated by friends of the club. President James P. Sweeney and Secretary J. B. Hauer are to be con- gratulated on the auspicious outlook for a big shoot. The general committee is composed of Edgar Forster, Golden Gate Club; H. Ricklefson of the Blue Rock Gun Club; Robert Van Norden of the Millwood Gun Club; J. P. Sweeney, Empire Gun Club; J. W. Jeff- reys of the Antler Gun Club; J. W. Elias of the Val- lejo Gun Club; F. W. Hesse Jr. of the Santa Rosa Gun Club; William Hansen of the Hercules Gun Club; W. Sink of the St. Helena Gun Club; Dr. A. M. Barker of the San Jose Gun Club; Charles Reams of the Napa Gun Club, and C. F. TVhalen of the Mountain View Gun Club. The Santa Rosa Gun Club shoot on the 13th inst. was not as well attended as usual. The result of the medal shoot was in favor of Slusser, the score being: Morrow, IS yards, 28 targets shot at, broke 15; Slus- ser, 20. 25—19; Resse, 20. 25—17; Mead, IS. 28—10. The absent members will shoot off the match later. The tie of the last shoot for the Lafiin & Rand cup between Mead and Guiltnan was shot off at 15 targets and was won by the former by a score of 11 to 10. The shoot for the cup Sunday left Hesse in the lead, the score being. Mead, 16 yards, 29 targets shot at, broke 18; Slusser, IS, 25—20: Guiltnan, IS, 2S— 15; Morrow, 16. 2S— 17; Hesse, 16. 26—23. Other mem- bers will shoot off the match later. Sixty targets was the allotment for each member of the Petaluma Gun Club who competed in the club program on the 13th inst. This shoot was the second of the club prize series. J. Lopus is high gun in this race at present. Following are the scores of those who have already completed their 60 target allowance; J. Lopus 50, P. L. Murphy 47. T. Mego 46, F. Carter, 45. Summer- field 45, J Steiger 43, E. E. Drees 41, Dr. TV. Hall 41, Joe Clark 35. A large delegation of members of the Eureka Gun Club August 13th responded to the invitation of the Trinidad Gun Club and were royally entertained through the day by the txapshooters of the old Klam- ath county seat by the sea. The day was passed with shooting, feasting, a little more shooting and a little more feasting. The menu, of course, included the clams and mussels for which the ocean beach in the vicinity of Trinidad is famous, but there were many other good things supplied for the delectation of the visiting Eurekans. The shooting between teams from the two clubs was one of the interesting features of the day, Each year the Eureka shooters pay a visit to Trinidad and the trip is ever anticipated with pleas- ure. The Pacific Coast Trap Shooters* Association an- nounce an open to all merchandise prize shoot for Sunday, October 1st, on the Empire Club grounds, Alameda Junction. Trap shooters of the Coast are looking forward to the Interstate shoot as the coming great event In the annals of sport on the Pacific Coast. Los Angeles shooters, and there are some cracks down south, are getting ready for the blue rock foray. Ten past masters of the modern art of. saucer smashing, who are to represent the Los Angeles Gun Club at the big interstate shoot in San Francisco next month have been assiduously practicing at the Sher- man grounds. One by one the scatter-gunners have come forward until from two or three, the club is now assured of two full squads at the blue-ribbon event of the year in trap-shooting circles. Ten of the best shots in Southern California will turn loose on the firing line for some of that $1500 added money which Elmer Shaner and his associates have succeeded in getting together out of the Interstate Association. The California Wing Club, it has been decided, will close the live bird season with the final club shoot to- morrow at Ingleside. The race will be at 20 pigeons — making 100 birds for each member to shoot at the seven regular shoots for 1905. A purse amounting to $150 will be divided among the high guns. The money division has generally been one money for each three entries. Charles Van Valkenburg, Guy Lovelace. C. D. Hager- man, R. H. Bungay. S. R. Smith. Fred Gilbert, J. F. Gibson. Gus Knight, Jr., C. L-. Julian of San Diego, Hip Justins and H. P. Densel are already in line with a prospect of- A. W. Bruner and some others of the former greats stepping to the score when the proper time comes. In all probability some sort of Pacific Coast trap shooters' association will be formed at the big shoot, as representatives of all the big gun clubs from San Diego to Seattle will be hobnobbing with each other in one big sportsman's reunion. There has long been felt a need for something of the sort. The Los Angeles Gun Club has received its Dickey Bird trap, and will have the new machine installed as an aid to the Leggett. The aim of the Interstate Association, an organiza- tion that was formed and incorporated for the en- couragement of trap shooting, in giving tournaments is to foster a sport that is deservedly popular; to bring together experts, semi-experts and novices; to safeguard the interests of both and to illustrate how a large trap shooting event should be run. In this laudable interest for trap shooting at large the association has accomplished much. Seven big tournaments have been successfully run so far this season. Next week the Interstate shoot at Colorado Springs will take place, shortly followed by the Ingle- side tournament, which will complete the itinerary for the year. The magnitude of the work accomplished and con- templated is shown in the following list of shoots of the Interstate Association for the season's circuit of 1905; Augusta, Ga , April 5 and 6. Under auspices of the Augusta Gun Club. Hopkinsville, Ky., April 26 and 27. Under auspices of the Hopkinsville Gun Club. Owensboro. Ky., May 17 and IS. Under auspices of the Daviess County Gun Club.

Pa- cific Coast Handicap at targets, under auspices of the San Francisco Trap Shooting Association Communications relating to tournaments should be sent to Elmer E. Shaner, secretary-manager, 219 Col- tart square, Pittsburg, Pa. Following the Interstate Association's shoot at Col- orado Springs, comes the Grand Western Handicap at Trinidad, Colo., Sept. 4, 5 and 6. For the first and second days at the latter shoot there is scheduled a daily program of 200 targets, lull entrance $20, with $200 in added money. Everybody will shoot from 16 yards. For high professional average each day $20 in cash will be given. For high amateur $20, for second high $10. This average, of course, is based on the full 200-target program; money divided in case of ties. On the final day a free-for-all handicap -of 100 tar- gets is scheduled, entrance $10, $100 added. Six moneys, 10, 8. 7. 6, 5 and 4. To the winner a trophy worth $65 will be given Event two is at 100 targets, entrance $10. This is the Denver Post trophy event and carries $150 in added money. Club traps and "blackbirds" will be used. Frank B. Cunningham of St. Joseph, Mo., will be identified with the manage- ment of the shoot and the Trinidad membership prom- ises "fair field and no favor" to all. This tournament deserves well at the hands of the territorial shooting fraternity and no doubt the expectation of the man- aging club will be realized. That there is a decided boom in Coast trap shooting has been strongly in evidence this season. The big tour- naments at Ingleside. Los Angeles. San Diego, Sacra- mento, Gridley, Portland, Vaffcouver, B. C, and many smaller, but none the less enthusiastic shoots, at many other points in California, Washington and Oregon, have started what will probably be a lively trap sea- son all round for next year. The Medford Gun Club announces a two day tourna- ment for September 22nd and 23rd It is expected that a number of shooters attending at Ingleside will jo-'rney to Oregon to join issue with the northern shooters. Ten events are scheduled for each day; entrance for each day $20, added money for each day $225. The opening race each day is at 15 targets, two special open-to-all events at 25 targets, and the bal- ance at 20 targets. AUGUST 20. l!*5j ©h£ greener cmfc giportsman 9 .Added money $450, general average for men shoot- ers, $100; for lady shooters, $50; total $600. The purse division will be 30. 25, 15, 15 and 15 per cent. The grounds will be open for practice two days before the tournament. There will be three sets of traps. Sergeant system, and one extra set for novelty shooting. Targets will cost 3 cents. All shooting will be in squads, rapid fire, 16 yards rise. Professionals and manufacturers' agents will shoot for targets only, except in special events 6 and 16, nor can the trade representatives compete for general average moneys. It is announced that all shooters who can come a few days prior to the shoot, or who may remain over, will be taken, if it is so wished, for fishing trips to the Rogue river, the most famous trouting river on the Coast. This in itself is a strong inducement to bring shooters to Medford. Oregon hospitality and good fellowship is extended sportsmen in the following congenial greeting: "We trust our program will please you and hope to see as many lovers of trap shooting as possibly can attend. Try and strain a point and be with us, and we will assure you a good time, besides giving you i well manager shoot." For further particulars write or wire J. E. Enyart, Medford, Oregon. The usual strong turnout of shooters was present it the Union Gun Club shoot at Ingleside on the 20th nst. In the club match every shooter in the first •lass was in the money division. Otto Feudner, who las been shooting up to his former gait, was high run in the class. Every man, excepting Murdock, cut n-.on the first class purse, Daniels being the high jun. Three of four shooters in the second class re- eived the best money awards in the match Jacobsen hot into first place. Harvey Schneider, "Woods Jr., )r. Finnie and Leary were the winners, in the order riven, among the third class contestants. The medal race brought a series of well fought con- ests in each of the four classes of shooters. Otto 'eudner scored a straight and won the monthly medal iung up for the champions. Dr. Pitres (18 yards) tied furdock for the first class medal and won out in the hoot off. Shields won the second class medal for he second time; he stood at the 18 yard peg. Schnei- er annexed the third class medal. It will be noticed 1 going over the scores of the race that most of the revious winners evidently found the IS and 20 yard andicap a bit too strong to maintain their supremacy. 'his is what gives the medal shoot an added charm — le prizes are evidently not mortgaged to any indi- idual shooters. The mixed race, at singles and doubles, was won y Haight and Schneider; Wilson, O. Feudner, Jacob- in, Swales were also in the money. The Phil B. Beakeart challenge cup race brought out >ur contestants, Otto Feudner winning the shoot in score of 91 out of 100 targets. Daniels and Schultz so competed.

The purses in all events except the two handicaps will be divided according to the Rose system at ratio of 9-5-2 for 15-target events, and at a ratio of 12-9-5 for 20-target events. In the handicap events ties that are shot off will be at 20 targets per man, and the original distances con- testants stand at will govern. The handicap committee is composed of M. J. Iver- son, San Francisco; W. H. Varien, Pacific Grove; M. Abrahams, Portland; Guy Lovelace, Los Angeles, and F. K. McBroom, Spokane. The committee will meet at the Palace Hotel on the evenings of September 15th and 16th to award handicaps for the Preliminary and the Coast Handicaps respectively.

Contestants are requested to make entries for the entire program each day. Money will be refunded in all uncontested events, except the two handicaps, and the contestant has but to notify the cashier of his intention to withdraw. In case entries are so numerous that events cannot be finished until late any day— thus keeping the com- piler of scores back with his work — a branch of both the cashier's and compiler of scores' offices will be opened that night in the Palace Hotel, where winners of money can secure the amounts due them or they can obtain same at the shooting grounds the next day. The Interstate Association and the San Francisco Trap Shooting Association adds $1,500, of which amount $150 is reserved to purchase trophies— $100 for a trophy for the winner of first money in the Pacific Coast Handicap, and $50 for a trophy for the winner of first money in the Preliminary Handicap. Guns, ammunition, etc.. forwarded by express must be prepaid and sent to one of the following sporting goods houses: Clabrough, Golcher & Co.. 538 Market street. San Francisco, Cal.; Shreve & Barber Co., 739 Market street, San Francisco. Cal.; Olympic Arms Co., 801 Market street, San Francisco, Cal. Mark your own name on the box that goods are shipped In and it will be delivered to the shooting grounds free of charge. The Interstate Association will have its headquar- ters at the Palace Hotel, one of the largest and best equipped hotels in the world. Sportsmen can also secure accommodations at the Grand Hotel adjoining and which is operated under the same management. Xo expense will be spared to make the tournament run smoothly. The most expert and competent help will be secured, and the office" force will be large and capable. Special attention is called to the schedule of events erranged for each day. The conditions of the handicap events merit — and will, of course, receive — more careful study than usual. Further information relative to the tournament will be cheerfully furnished by A. M. Shields. Secretary, San Francisco Trap Shooting Association, Crocker building. San Francisco, Cal.. or by Elmer E. Shaner. Secretary-Manager. The Interstate Association, 219 Coltart Square, Pittsburg, Pa. During the tournament it is proposed to have a team race for a valuable trophy — practically the East against the West. As many teams as wish to enter can go into the contest. Throughout the tournament targets will be thrown about 50 yards. The shooting will commence at 9 a. m. sharp each day. The County Game Law Decision. For the benefit of sportsmen, generally, Judge M. T. Allen, who recently wrote the decision of the Appel- late Court at Los Angeles on the county game law case, consented last week, in an interview, to explain it, and clear up some of the present muddle. The decision is very generally misunderstood. beth In Los Angeles county and elsewhere. Judge Allen states that the various dove ordinances of all the counties of the southern district were knocked out by the court on the ground of unreason- ableness, only two of the judges concurring that they were unconstitutional. Three are necessary before a law can be rendered invalid, and Judge Smith, while concurring with his fellow-judges upon the unreason- ableness of the law, did not pass upon the constitu- tionality phase of the case. It will be remembered Henry T. Gage "butted in" on the proceedings at the eleventh hour, as a friend of the court, "amicus curiae," to use a legal term, and introduced the element of reasonableness into the con- troversy— an element which the sportsmen and other interests who were testing the law most desired kept out of the issue. *They wished to settle once for all the status of the detested county laws. This new element in the argument made possible a sort of com- promise settlement. As to the deer law and other county ordinances. Judge Allen would not care to express an opinion, other than another test case upon some ordinance which was conceded to be not unreasonable would be neded to completely clear the situation. The dove law, however, is held by that decision to be invalid, and not only Los Angeles, but every other county in the southern district at least, if not through- out the state, is bound by it. In other words, the State dove law alone governs Southern California. As to deer, and other game, there may be some question. Judge Allen and Judge Gray concurred in adjudging the c ounty ordinances unconstitutional; what ruling Judge Smith would make on the matter can only be told by another case, as he neither in public nor in private has expressed an opinion. It is too bad that the matter could hot have been adjudicated fully and to everybody's satisfaction in the case referred to. It is the opinion of well in- formed attorneys that the county ordinances are all in the same boat and incapable of enforcement, but some of them are still on the books, and convictions probably could be had under them if they were not fought vigorously. The case is now before the Supreme Court, for final adjudication. Dove Shooting in Fresno County. The bang, bang of shotguns sounded the death knell for many a dove in Fresno county on the loth inst. Similar bang, bangs had been sounding similar death knells for several days prior because a number of local sportsmen had seen in the newspapers that the Appellate Court of this State sitting in Los Angeles had decided that where county and State game laws were in conflict with the State law was to have prece- dent and should be followed. The State law allows the killing of the cooing dove after July 15th. Fresno county desired that the doves thereabouts should continue living undisturbed by fine shot until August 15th, and so the county law was made to read that dealing death to doves before that date should be classed as a misdemeanor. However, that date was in reality the openig of the dove season in Fresno county and many local sportsmen were out in the early morning and the late evening bagging the, dove as their skill with the gun and their luck at finding the bird permitted. All of those who were out reported dove plentiful. Among those who got the limit were Charles Burleigh, Fred Nance. James Cronkhite and Ed Hamilton. Truckee River Pollution. The paper mill at Floriston, on the Truckee river, in Nevada State, has been anathemized by anglers who have fished that section of the river. The refuse from the mill, it has been claimed, was not only dele- terious to fish life, but as a pollution of drinking water it became consequently a menace to health, for the city of Reno depends upon the Truckee river for its water supply. Anglers, for one class, and particularly the large body of sportsmen who are wont to enjoy trout fishing in the Truckee. below Floriston, will be pleased to hear that legal action has been brought by the State of Nevada to restrain the Floriston Pulp and Paper Company from running or dumping the alleged foul- ing matter into the river. An imposing array of legal talent Is lined up on both sides In the suit and a hard fought battle Is looked for. 10 ©tte gveeitev anb giportemcm [August 26, 1905.

If the angler is fortunate enough to combat cessfui jn bis laudable endeavors and that the forest that first mad dash through the water, his fun begins. But it is not necessarily certain that he is going to bring his capture to gaff. "There's many a slip be- tween the hook and the gaff," is an old saying among tuna fishermen. There is no harder fighter than this big mackerel — for the tuna is the largest of the mackerel family, to which also belong the albicore, the bonita and the skipjack, the latter three varie- ties, although smaller, affording good winter sport when the tuna are feeding on the bottom in water over a thousand feet deep. Once hooked, the tuna is up to all sorts of tricks, and not even his smaller but the Great who wept because there were no more worlds to conquer.

Tour whole ambi- tion is then centered in catching another and a bigger ""•To realize the true significance of the Tuna Club it must be shown that nowhere except in the waters adjacent to Santa Catalina Island is this prince of fish taken with rod and reel. While this is true, gen- eral! v speaking, exceptions are the rule at times. This vear' several tuna were taken in Monterey bay by net ™„. They were not very large fish, however, hut big enough to play hob with the netting gear. Tuna have been also seen at times in the Santa Bar bars channel. Tuna are also caught ln the Mediter- ranean. When they get tangled up in the nets of the fishermen who supply the markets they create such havoc that they are gladly liberated with as Ut- ile damage as possible. But in the clear waters of the Pacific, in that marvelously clear channel between Catalina Island and San Pedro, on the mainland, they come every summer to disport themselves and to feed upon the flying flsh, for which they leap into the air with all the zest of the chase. Although fbr years they had been caught spasmodically, it was not until 1&99 that several devotees of the sport conceived the idea of organizing a club on competitive lines The member who caught the largest fish during the season, from May 1 to October 1. was to become president of the club and to receive a medal setting forth that honor. Professor Charles Frederick Holder the naturalist and author, carried off the prize that year, his fish weighing 183 pounds. The next year Colonel Moorehouse landed his 251-pounder, entitling him to the presidency and establishing a record that has never been broken, a record that every member of the club secretly dreams of some day shattering. Then the plans of the club broadened, and as the membership increased it was feared that Colonel Moorehouse might hold the presidency indefinitely, so it was decided to hold annual meetings, at which an election of officers should figure. This is now done, and a cup is presented to the member who makes the largest catch of the season. Since the organization of the club the honors have cone as follows: Season of 1899, Professor Holder, Pasadena Cal.. 183 pounds; season of 1901, Colonel Moorehouse. Pasadena, Cal., 251 pounds; season of schenck, Brooklyn, and F. V. Rider, Ava- lon tied at 168 pounds; season of 1902, John E. Sterns, neeles 197 pounds; season of 1903, H. E. Smith, New York, and B.

Hascall broke all records in distance and accuracy fly-casting at the fourth tournament of the Chicago Fly Casting Club at Garfield Park on the 18th inst. Hascall made 99 2-3 points out of a pos- sible 100, which is said to be the best performance ever made in a casting tournament. The first day of the tournament was marked by excellent work, there being a goodly number of con- testants in the various events. In long distance casting, the winning score was | 120 feet, made by E. J. Mills of New York. A perusal fTOm jt to travelers on station platforms or to bafj' of the winning scores will show that the Stow Lake gage.men js obvious. A Peculiar Accident, the result of somebody's care lessness evidently, happened in the baggage room a the ferry building one evening this week. - Thomas Nolan, a baggage-man employed by th California Northwestern Railway Company at th Tiburon ferry baggage-room, was unloading a cri full of inbound baggage that had just come in fror the hunting camps up state. Most of it consiste of rolls of blankets tied with a rope or bags of hunt ing outfits. As he was taken the baggage from th crib there was an explosion and he felt a sharp pai in his shoulder, where a bullet from a bundle of bag gage had struck. He was taken to the Harbor Hos pital where it was found that the bullet had pene trated his upper left arm and shoulder. The wouni is not a dangerous one, and after it had been dressei* Nolan was taken to his home. It was evident to Nolan and his fellow employe f that the wound was due to the accidental explosio of some weapon in a bundle of baggage, but it waB^ not possible for them to say from which bundle th | shot had come, so an examination of several bundle I was necessary. While it was found impossible t I locate the exact bundle wanted, it was found on ex amination that several contained firearms, knives an | cartrides of different caliber, mixed indiscriminate!) > with soiled clothing and the various articles that lijj. loose around a camp. In one case a .44 cartridge was found in a bai.J with only a single thickness of canvas between it an 1 anything that might have been bumped against it in transportation. A hunting belt full of loaded car J tridges and loaded magazines was found jamme loosely in a wad of light cotton clothing. A rifle i • full cock was found in another bundle. All the.' bundles were either canvas bags or rolls of blanket As such baggage is ordinarily subject to much leifl careful handling than trunks and eases, the dangiji contingent should cast rings around the Garfield Park fly-casters. Harry C. Golcher, Walter D. Mans- field, J. B. Kenniff. Ed. Everett, T. W. Brotherton and other good 'uns still have their records on the right side of the ledger. The final event for the first day was won by F. N. Peet, whose score is a top-notcher. The other win- ning scores in the event would put the Chicago men in the lead anywhere. A special cup was put up by the Chicago club for the best salmon cast, and was won by Rueben Leon- ard of New York, with the splendid cast of 141 feet. The Easterners were too good for the local men in the distance trials, but the Chicago casters were evi- dent in the events that required skill and accuracy. Harry Hascall, F. N. Peet and John Waddell will be remembered by local 'rodsters as a trio of con- genial sportsmen who took part in the world's tourna- ment at Stow Lake two years ago. A summary of winning scores for the first day of the Chicago tournament Friday, August ISth, is the following; Long distance fly-casting— E. J. Mills, New York, 120 feet; Reuben Leonard, New York, 118; F. N. Peet, Chicago, 108; John 'Waddell, Grand Rapirs, Mich., 107; H. G. Hascall and A. C. Smith, Chicago, tied at 104.

The new powder has been thoroughly and scientifically tested by the lead- ing ammunition manufacturers of the LInited States. The consensus of opinion was that this favorite oj.v- der in bulk form is highly satisfactory in every re- spect. In fact, it proved to be just as effective and high grade in bulk form as in the dense Ballistite which has won a high regard in the consideration of sportsmen throughout America.

It has been a very imon thing for a farmer to put away > to five years' shearing because he Id not get what he considered a sonable price, but during the past r the high prices ruling have been afficient temptation to induce every- to sell. The shipments of Eng- wool to America last year exceed records except 1S97, when large an- patory shipments were made in .v of the imposition of a duty on - wools. ommenting on the Australasian St ply, the Post said: . is estimated that of the increased sorts of wool from Australasia at \ end of the present season New th Wales will have contributed no than 140,000 bales, valued at over 00,000. In the same state, it is also 3e noted, the stock returns to the of December shows nearly 6,000,000 ip have been added to the flocks -hat part, bringing the total up to 84 51,000 head, an increase roughly Kted at $15,000,000. he most conservative estimates are (#: during the season of 1905-6 the ' - South Wales clip will show an in ease of no less than that in 1904-5, flit bringing the production of the it e up to 790,000 bales, or about equal to he output in the wool year 1900- 19 , and, assuming that growers are wjrtunate as to make such prices as pr'-all today, this w-ill mean to them •increase in money value of $15,000,- IPj to compare with the season just '1* ng. It is further estimated that it he close of 1905 the flocks in New 3o h Wales will stand at 40,000,000 :Wt, a figure not reached since 1901. h1 owest being 1902, when the official rttt returns put the sheep at 26,649,- '01. It is also to be remembered in •e: irg these statistics that the sea« so is already so far advanced as to n«' s it highly improbable that the ni . adverse conditions will seriously •cfl t the situation. test statistics ' show that . there »4 in Queensland at the end of 1904, •^1.938 sheep, as against 8,392,044 at hi end of 1903, demonstrating that h| ; has been a substantial movement e right direction. There has also - come to hand from Victoria the census of sheep in that part of the colony, not previously taken since 1901. In the latter year there were 10,842,000 sheep in this part. Then came the depletion by the drought, and it was estimated that by the end of 1903 there were only 8.774,731 sheep. Now the official figures give the number at the end of last year as 10,168,000, and though the whole of the loss compared with 1901 has not been regained, the recovery has been, no less wonderful than in other parts. Stocks of wool are low, as also are stocks of finished materials, but no one dreams of replacing the latter on today's basis of values, especially as we do not seem to be far removed from a time of reasonable prices to be brought about by a much more plentiful sup- ply. Cows are warmer in a stable that is a little too small and ventilation is eas- ier managed under these conditions, be- cause the body heat of animals causes a rise in temperature and circulation is easily maintained. There are two things absolutely necessary to the'suc- cess of winter dairying; a warm stable and a well ventilated stable. SHETLAND THE PERFECT PET. RINGING HOGS. STABLE VENTILATION. The old-fashioned fireplace with its big chimney was one of the best venti- lators ever placed in the house, because it removed the heavy, foul air from near the floor. In stable ventilation Prof. King's system takes advantage of the same principle by removing the heavy, foul air from the lower part of the stable through a flue that extends above the highest part of the roof. In the stable fresh air is admitted through smaller flues from one or two sides of the building in such manner as to permit the cold fresh air to mingle with the warmer air at the ceiling. In this way fresh air is admitted to the upper part of the room while the inside atmosphere that has been loaded with impurities until it settles is drawn off from near the floor. To prevent drafts and also to prevent the warm air from passing out through the intake the flues are turned down at the outside or built in the side of the building. Air in circulation naturally goes up when warm, because warm air is lighter, but unless it is then cooled it is not easy to drive it down. The heights of the stable ceiling has little to do with ventilation. A ceil- ing that is high enough to stand up under is high enough for a cow stable. Cows may be crowded close together in a stable with a low ceiling, but a circulation of air must be maintained. The old-fashioned idea of providing a great deal of cubic air space in a cow stable was all wrong; it is quality of air we want, not quantity. A great deal of disease has resulted from stabling cows in expensive, air- tight stables without adequate pro- vision for changing the air. We have long been of the opinion that many farmers lose a good deal of money by the practice of ringing hogs during the spring and summer season. The object, of course, is to save money. That is, to keep their pastures and meadows from being rooted up and ap- parently destroyed. The real loss, however, is not in the time expended in ringing them and the cost of the rings and pincers, but in the injury done to the hogs. It is not possible to ring hogs without giving them sore noses, without putting them back or at least delaying their development more or less. Occasionally the ring is rut in improperly and quite serious damage results. We don't see any good reason for all '.his. It is quite true that especially in the spring of the year hogs, and particularly brood sows, will do more or less rooting. Occasionally they will root an old grass pasture all summer. They seldom, however, attack any piece of well drained land unless there is something to root for. This is usually the larvae of the June bug and other moths. In destroying these they really benefit the pasture. They are quite certain to root along sloughs, and par- ticularly where these sloughs have been recently drained, and the roots of slough grass, rushes, etc.. are in the process of decay and contain more or less animal food. Neither do we re- gard this as being any damage. Sometimes they root on comparative- ly well drained spots, but in these cases it will be found that there is something in the soil of which they are fond, and while it may make the spot unsightly, the loss of the stand of pastures that grows on such places is more than compensated for by the advantage to the hogs from rooting. We are w-ell aware that there is some- times strong provocation to compel the old sow to keep her nose out of the ground; but if the farmer will simply let her root all she has a mind to and then follow it with a seeding tame grass and the harrow, he will find in the end that rooting is more beneficial than otherwise. — Wallace's Farmer. The cry of the children is for a per- fect pet. What the rattle and the doll are to the earliest years of us, that the Shetland pony is fated to become for older childhood. This animal is the only pet that won't at some time or other make reprisal on the hand that nags. The dog— every dog— will bite when the child becomes too familiar. There are elements in a cat's nature that puzzle and repulse the child, a something that makes it walk 'by its wild lone." The goat is inadequate. We could analyze a Noah's ark of ani- mals in this way only to find that the one satisfying safe living pet is the Shetland pony. If more than eight children ride on his back he will shake himself like a wet Newfoundland and then stand motionless, while they pick themselves up and out from his four hoofs. A large and more highly nerved grade of horse would trample the chil- dren that were tripping him. — Country Life in America. The world's production of meat has increased 57 per cent since 1S40.

J LESS COWS AND BETTER ONES. What is the matter with the average dairy larnier? To many poor cows. Why does he keep poor cows? Really, because he does not make any effort to know what his cows are. He is not pay- ing" a business mans attention to his business. What can be expected under B but poor i The New York Farmer hits the nail on the head when it says: The substitution of nigh-class for I- »nes is one of the tasks g the American farmers, Each farmer mu i ■ m his part of the gTeat task for himself. The man who sing money regularly on his dairy renty or thirty scrub lows can be- gin to breed up his herd now. In a or two he can get a start at little or no tense. In three or four years his improved young stock will give him more income. In eight or ten an reduce his twenty scrub ten cows above the average. He will then spend one-half as much and work, and he will get 50 to 100 per cent more milk. In other words, he will have cut his costs of in two. and he can sell his at .i profil even at the low rates that prevail in the glutted markets. This is what is being done by the milk producers who are called •'model producers" or "model farmers." There Is not a thing done by these men that cannot be done by any man who can weigh a can of milk. There is no mystery at all in the work. The steps are short, plain and easy. The high- Class cow is the only cow that can make money for her owner. Now a practical word or two as to what should be done. 1. The farmer must make up his mind to read more and know more than he has known about the true meaning of this business. 2. He must breed better; stop buy- ing poor, cheap bulls and the produc- tion of poor cows. The fountain head of better quality in the cow is the character of the sire. 3. Create better conditions in the stable. Give the cow better air to breathe, better food to eat, good water to drink and cleaner conditions to live in. 4. Weed out the poor cows vigor- ously. Don't be slow about it. Dry them off and sell them to the butcher. Buy the best heifers of the best cows you can find and start the making of a good cow on your farm. 5. Don't think fifty or sixty dollars is too much to pay for a first-class cow, provided always you are sure she rs healthy. The men who come around to buy your good cows pay these prices, and ten to one if they don't get them away from you. A cow that will earn in gross $50 a year, pays big in- terest on her cost above the cost of keep. It amounts to 33 per cent if you pay $60, assuming she costs $30 to keep her, and it can be done for that easily if you have a silo and will grow alfalfa. In all these matters touching cows we are constantly impressed with the wide-spread lack of good judgment on the many vital questions that affect her. It means a good deal many farmers suppose to a good cow. They ought to know a poor cow by virtue of long experience with her. more than understand DEVON CATTLE NOT MILKERS. Thi breedei a of Devon catl te, like the other "dual-purpose" breed- claim their cattle to be a profit- able dairy breed. Some of the Devon profitable, others are not. Thai is true even with the best and ronounced dairy breeds.

These things cause men to inquire if everything isn't fish that to the dual-purpose net. — Dairyman. There is no country which affords a better opportunity for dairying than the South. Milk and butter are im- ported in large quantities, which gives ample opportunity to the home pro- ducer to find a good market at a fair price for all he produces. Some have adopted the plan of hav- ing a sign board at their front gate, on which they write the things they want to buy or sell. Experience, energy, ability and square dealing make a man strong in the stock business, or in anything else. Sponges. S.

M TABULATED PEDIGREES present the most con- ner of arranging the ancestors of an ani- mal so that its blood lines may be studied. Last week the pedigree of North Star 2:13% by Nutwood b given in this department, and was much interest among our readers. This week the pedigree of McFayden 2.1514, winner of the two yea o dlvisi ire< rs Futurity Xo. ::. is presented. The remarkable thing about this tabulation is the number of producing sires and 'lams ins. I doubt if a eoll can be found in Califor- nia that has more of its ancestors in the first four s in "the great tables." In the fourth remove the names of the following sires Strathmore, Electioneer, Geo. Wilkes, Bay- .) ami Flaxtail (twice). In the 1 arc the names of Steinway, Alcantara ;,,„! Egi .. .'has. Derby and Sterling are the • res. and Diablo the sire. Everyone of these is ee'd. Among the brood mares repre- in the first four crosses are Bee, dam of 3; Bertha, dam of S and 1 producing son: Katie G., dam of ''. and 2 producing sons: Barcena, dam of 1 and 2 ■is s.ms and 2 producing daughters: Flash. 5 nil 2 producing daughters; Mary, dam of 1 and 1 producing son and 3 producing daughters; Abbess, dam of 2. 1 producing son and 2 producing daughters: Alma Mater, dam of s. 7 producing sons and 2 producing daughters, and Minerva, dam of 2. 3 producing sons and 1 producing daughter. These are all in the first four generations, and in the fifth there are such mares as Green Mountain Maid. Dolly Spanker. Belle by Mambrino Chief, Bacchante Mam- brino, the Burch mare, and others. It will be no- ticed that Bee, the dam of McFayden, is inbred to both Belmont 64 and Flaxtail. Her sire Sterling was a brother in blood to her dam Flash, as both were by Egmont out of mares by Flaxtail. F-gmont 182S was a brother in blood to the great Xutwood, both being by lielmont 64 out of mares by Pilot Jr. To the intelli- gent breeder the tabulation of McFayden's pedigree presented herewith will offer opportunity for much interesting study, and is bound to lead to the conclu- sion that this colt will sire early and extreme speed to a moral certainty.

I don't know whether Mr. Garland will meet Mr. Gwathmey's chal- lenge or not, but if he does and Sweet Marie should be in shape when the race started, one of two things would happen in my opinion. She would heat him or the Galileo Rex gelding would have a mark of 2:03 or better when the race was over. It may be that I am a little prejudiced in favor of the mare for two rea- sons— she is a Californian and a McKinney — but I hope not, and I do know that of all the eastern horse- men I know there is not one I would rather see own the champion trotter of the world than Mr. A. B. Gwathmey. There is no greater lover of the trotting horse than the owner of Tiverton 2:04^. Just now all the journals in the United States de- voted to harness horse affairs are filled with articles discussing the prohibition of betting on contests at the trotting tracks. The consensus of opinion among the editors of these journals is that as betting on any sport that is not continuous is neither harmful nor demoralizing, it should be permitted, and the ad- vice given to horsemen is to organize and bring about the passage of laws that will permit such betting. This advice is all right, but unless the proposed laws are so drawn as to limit the length of race meetings, they will in the opinion of many who have given the subject considerable thought accomplish but little good. It is continuous racing in the United States that has made race track gamblers so numerous that pool rooms have sprung up in every city, village and hamlet to accommodate them, and aroused the pub- lic to such an extent that the wagering of a few dol- lars on a speed contest, once considered a harmless dissipation, is now looked upon as a rapidly growing evil that must be curbed. Argue as w-e may, the solid, respectable, taxpaying portion of the commu- nity sees a menace to society in the craze for race track gambling that has prevailed in this country for the past few years, and they propose to stop it by legislation if they can in every state in the Union. It has been stopped in many and will be stopped in many more. There is one thing the owners and breed- ers of harness horses should recognize in all the dis- cussions of this question and that is this: Betting on harness racing as it has been or is now; conducted has not aroused the opposition to race track gambling, nor caused the passage of the laws which in some localities prevents betting on harness racing. It was the continuous running meetings and the prevalence of the pestilential pool rooms that brought about the establishment of the stringent laws against betting now on the statutes of so many states. Auction and mutual pools were sold on harness races and run- ning events at the California State Fair for years without inciting anyone to even suggest that betting should be prohibited there, but upon the advent of the bookmaker with his syndicate system, and the action of the directors who extended the fair to two weeks and made a program of cheap running races the principal feature of the fair, there came a change of sentiment toward the time honored institution on the part of the public, and when the association was reorganized and its property turned over to the State, a clause in the appropriation bill prohibited betting of any kind on the State Fair grounds. It will be well for every breeder, owner and trainer of harness horses to remember that the laws against betting at the California State Fair, and in the eastern states that have adopted them were not aimed at the com- paratively small speculations on harness events, but as the law cannot "play favorites" the sport of har- ness racing has had to suffer for the sins of others. Two weeks of racing is sufficient for any community during any one season, and will accomplish greater improvement in the breed of horses than can be brought about by a meeting held continuously during the year. This wrould permit spring, summer, fall and winter meetings of two weeks each and furnish all the sport that kings, princes or ordinary American citizens require for their amusement or delectation. In my humble opinion the most effectual move the harness horse people could make would be to organ- ize and petition the Legislature to pass a law limiting racing in California to not over two weeks in any county during any quarter of the year, and to confine all betting on the results of races to the tracks where- on the races are run, and that the Paris mutual pool or the totalizator (which is the same thing) be the only system of betting permitted, and that a certain percentage of the amount wagered go to charity. T believe that were some such a bill drawn for presen- tation to the California legislature, that a petition praying for its adoption would receive the signatures of four-fifths of the voters of the State, that it would revive the county fairs and harness racing and that it would not injure any breeder or owner of either thoroughbreds or harness horses, or the managers of any legitimate business. H. towns where the people take greater interest in har- ness horses, as nearly everybody drives a good road- ster and all attend the races when any are held at the local track. Los Angeles is really the horse center of California, as it is the only place that supports a really first-class amateur driving club that holds genuine matinee rac- ing where no purses are awarded, no entrance fee charged and no betting is permitted. As is always the sase where a good amateur club is maintained, regular racing for stakes and purses is very popular, and a big crowd can always be expected at any regular race meeting. The generosity of the Los Angeles Har- ness Racing Association in offering $1000 purses for this" closing meeting in the fall will be appreciated not only by owners, who will doubtless enter very liberally, but also by the people of Los Angeles who will attend the meeting in large numbers. It is probable that the opportunity will be offered to see some of the Eastern horses at this meeting, as an effort will be made to have some of the trainers now racing in the East, visit Los Angeles with their strings and winter there. The string of Mr. "W". A. Clark Jr., which is now racing on the Grand Circuit, will be back at Los Angeles by November, and the Butler string may be shipped to the southern metrop- olis at the same time. Secretary Bruner, who will act in his official capa- city at all the meetings on the Southern Circuit, wi71 spare no pains to have every arrangement completed and in readiness for the opening. He will look after the interests of both horsemen and visitors, and the boys who win the races can get their money at the judges stand as soon as the race is over if they want it. The program for the entire circuit will be out in a few days. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FALL CIRCUIT. The Southern California Fall Circuit has been or- ganized with Mr. A. W. Bruner as secretary and will open at San Bernardino, November 9th, with a three- days" program of harness races for $600 purses. Santa Ana will follow with a three-days meeting, opening November 16th. at wphich the purses will also be $600 for each race, and the circuit will close at Los An- geles, where $1000 purses will be offered for every clas?. the meeting to continue during the week be- ginning November 20th. The managers of the San Bernardino track are ex- pending between $6000 and $7000 in improvements which, when finished, will make this one of the best appointed as well as one of the fastest and safest tracks in the State. A six-inch coating of clay is now being put on the track, and it will be ready for record- breaking by the time the meeting opens. Santa Ana track is considered one of the best, and is kept in condition the year round. There are few RACE MEETING AT WOODLAND. "Woodland Mail: After all Woodland is to have a race meeting this season, and probably a stock and agricultural fair in connection. The race meeting is assured. It will begin on September 18th, a week after the State Fair closes, and there will be six days of racing. The meeting will be backed by Alex. Brown, owner of the "Woodland Stock Farm, wrhich includes the local track, but the public will also take a hand- C. A. Spencer, manager of Mr. Brown's local enterprises, will have direct charge of the meet. Mr. Spencer figured closely as to what the cost of such a meet as he proposes holding would be, and. found that if he could secure $1500 from outside par- ties that he would at least break even financially. He and Chris. Sieber circulated a subscription list among the business men yesterday and secured ahout - $1000 of this amount, only one man seen refusing to contribute. As $500 can be secured from private sources, Mr. Spencer announces that the meet is a sure go. Mr. Spencer has laid his plans well for a successful meeting, and the purses he will hang out should tempt some of the best strings in the State. Over $5500 will be distributed to winners in the various events. As many owners will bring their strings immediately to "Woodland after the State Fair, the outlook is for one of the most successful meetings ever held in "Wood- land. As stated above the meeting will begin on Monday, September ISth. The first day will evidence a new departure, as it will be devoted entirely to automobile racing, and the prizes to be distributed should bring some of the best drivers. The second day will also witness a feature, as it will be given over to amateur harness racing. As there are a number of excellent buggy horses in the county, the relative merits of which have long been debated, the events of this day should prove attractive in establishing supremacy in this line. During the remainder of the week the usual races of a meeting of the kind wrill take place, and there is little doubt that some of the best performers on the Coast will participate, and the promoters are looking for a big card. Mr. Spencer states that the proposal to have a stock and agricultural show in connection with the meeting meets with his great approval. "While he will be busy managing the racing program, he will lend all assist- ance possible if he can get someone to take the man- agement of this feature. It has been suggested that the directors of Agricultural District No. 10 take charge, but as yet no definite arrangement has been made. THE M'KINNEY FARM. The latest acquisition of the Empire City Farms is the farm that will be known by the above name. Last week ground was broken for a large stable of perfect fire-proof construction: this stable will be about 342 feet in length by a width of 49 feet. Most of the stalls will measure 12 by 16 feet, and a driveway 25 feet in width will give ample access to the stalls. The outside walls of the building will be of concrete blocks, while the inside will be exclusively of rein- forced concrete. A well equipped heating system will prevent the extreme cold of the northern winter from having any bay effect upon the horses stabled in this building. This addition to the already extensive equipment of the Empire City Farms will enable breeding opera- tions to be conducted with the greatest certainty with- out the necessity of waiting until the season is as fully advanced as is usual in localities so far north. The entries in the Charter Oak $10,000 stake which is to be trotted on Monday next at Hartford, are Sadie Mac, Tom Axworthy, Angiola, Glenwood M., Zephyr, Kid Shay. Massetto, Norman B.. Lisonjero, Gray Gem, John Caldwell, Direct view, The Roman, Robert Mc. • SEPTEMBER 2, 1905) ®h« gveebev anb gtpwi&man II NOTES AND NEWS. || Occident Stake to-day Getaway's record is now 2.12% and he is getting steadier as he goes along. Henry Hellman has im- proved him a great deal and will make him a good winner before the season is ended. It is worth nearly $4000. North Star 2:lZy2 should win it. Southern California has organized a fall circuit. Woodland entries will close Monday nest, Septem- ber 4th. Good purses are offered. The Los Angeles Harness Horse Association is trying to arrange for a three cornered race between Swet Marie, Tiverton and Lou Dillon at the meeting to be held there in November. The Jester, by Stam B., took a record of 2: 19% in the second heat of a race at Dubuque, Iowa, August 22d. This was the fastest heat of the race. The Sonoma County Driving Club will hold several matinees during the fall months at the Santa Rosa Stock Farm track. Great preparations are being made by the Eureka Fair Association for the annual Humboldt County fair, which will open there two weeks hence. The Bank of Concord has foreclosed its mortgage on the Contra Costa Driving Club's property. The judgment was for $4500 principal and costs. The estate of the late C. J. Hamlin has been ap- praised at a little over a million and a half dollars. Sunol, 2: OS %, by Electioneer, has a fine looking chestnut colt at foot by Axworthy, 2:15%. John Sawyer, of Salem, Oregon, offers to match the three-year-old trotter Lonzo by Zombro, owned by Mr. P. J. Mann, against any three-year-old trotter in the "Willamette Valley for from $500 to $1000 a side. Lonzo won the two-year-old stake at the Ore- gon State Fair last year and took a record of 2.3iy2. Mr. L. C. Crellin, of Pleasanton, has purchased a nomination in Pacific Breeders' Futurity No. 5 for his filly by Searchlight 2:03*4, dam the great brood mare Bertha, dam of Don Derby, 2:04%, Diablo. 2:09%, Owyho, 2:09%, etc. Mr. Crellin has a two- year-old full sister to Owyho that has great natural speed. She is next year's Breeders' Futurity. On Sunday, August 27th, there was a match race at the Alameda track for $25 a side between Mr. Tesio's Gypsy and Mr. Frank Prettias' Old Folks. The race was won by the latter in straight heats, after a close contest. A large crowd was present. The judges were Ed Prather, R. Brown and A. G. An- drews. P. Patrey did the starting. Woodland entries close Monday, September 4th. Entries made at the State Fair on Saturday, Septem- ber 2d, will be no bar. The San Francisco Driving Club will give an after- noon of racing at Ingleside next Monday — Labor Day. Both harness and running events will be on the pro- gram. The judging of the Shorthorn cattle at the State Fair at Sacramento will begin at 10 o'clock next Monday morning, September 4th. Prof. John Craig of the Texas University will judge all beef breeds, and there should be a large attendance, as this is not only one of the most interesting but most instructive procedings of the entire fair. The display of Short- horns will be especially fine this year. In the two heats at Poughkeepsie which were won by Tiverton in 2:07% and 2:06%, the California trot- ter George G. 2:06% was second both heats, beaten but a length and a half the first heat, and two lengths the second heat. On one of the New York trotting tracks they do not fine a driver for being late with his horse when the race is called, but send him to the stable and do not permit him to start. There hasn't been a man late since the rule was put in force. The Decatur, Illinois, meeting had an average of twenty entries to each of its fourteen races. As it only takes sixteen entries to pay a purse in full, it is evident that the Decatur association was on velvet. At the City Park matinee in Denver Saturday. August 19th, two State records were broken for ama- teur going. Rosalind, in the second heat of the 2:21 trot, lowered the time to 2:18%, which is the fastest time ever made on a half-mile track in Colorado. In the first heat of the free-for-all pace, Joe Younger broke the State record of 2:14%, made two years ago by George E. Ady's Miss Williams, lowering it to 2:14%. Both horses are owned and were driven in the races by George S. Newman. Sales of horses in New York and Chicago thus far this year exceed those of the corresponding period last season by about 10 000 head in each city. The increase is remarkable in view of the immense pressure of vast capital to crowd horses out. Motor vehicles are being promoted at enormous cost to the makers and users, yet opposition to horses only seems to emphasize their utility in all industry and com- merce. Horsemen have received the announcement of the Southern California Circuit with many expressions of approval. Many of those who are now at Sacramento will ship south after the Woodland meeting. Floreen Russell won two heats and second money and reduced her record to 2:22% in a five-heat trot- ting race at Springfield, Illinois, August 23d. She was bred at Santa Rosa Stock Farm and is by L. W. Rus- sell, dam Flora Allen by Mambrino Wilkes. Burnut by Neernut won a five-heat race at Bay City, Michigan, August 23d. He took a trotting record of 2:24% in this race. He was bred by Geo. W. Ford of Santa Ana. The record of 2.29% made by El Pajaro at Santa Rosa puts his dam, John Kalar's mare Kate by Carr's Mambrino in the great brood mare list, as she is also the dam of Valentine, 2:19%. a full brother to El Pajaro, both being by Boodle, 2:12%. If Helen Norte were a little steadier she. would get a record of 2:10 or better with little trouble. She was a good second to Kid Shea in 2:09% at Pough- keeepsie. Six two-year-olds by Baronmore were put into the list at Davenport. Iowa, last month. The records made ranged from 2:19% to 2:29%. Ed Patch, son of Dan Patch, has taken a winning race record of 2:10%. Dan Patch, 1 : 56. starts to beat his record next Monday at Hamlme. J. F. Ferguson, who is training Inferno, 2:15, for the Hollister races this month, believes the son of Diablo is capable of reducing his record this year. Grattan. 2:13, has four performers of sensational speed out this season: Baron Grattan, 2:05%; Nut- wood Grattan, 2:07%; Doris B., 2:07%, and Clarita W., 2:09%. And there are others to be heard from. About fifty horses are being worked at the State Fair grounds, Salem, Oregon. Nearly all will take part in the races on the North Pacific Circuit The Broncho 2:03% is less than fifteen hands high. "Marque" expects her to get a record below 2:02 in a race. Miss Reese, a pacing mare by Hal K., started in a race at Chanute, Kansas, during the month of July this year, and three days after foaled a filly. The owners of Miss Reese did not know she had been bred. The foal is exceptionally well proportioned and strong. It is being raised on cow's milk. Golden Gate by Bay Bird, has another win to his credit. He won the 2:40 trot at York, Nebraska, August 6th, and did not have to trot better than 2:35. Direet Wood, the four-year-old gelding by Direct, that has been winning pacing events in the Middle West this year, was bred by A. F. Stice when he was in California, but was foaled at his farm at Mon- mouth, Illinois. She took a record of 2:18% as a three-year-old, which she has reduced to 2:08% this year. Her dam is Dolly Fort, 2:28%, by Lee Wood, son of Nutwood. According to the Trotting World of London, Prince Alert has been taken to Austria by Eddie Mitchell to compete against time for cups offered by the tracks there. Pacers and geldings are barred in Austria, but the authorities realized that Prince Alert in special against time would be a great attraction and arranged with Louis Winans to send his great pacer across the channel for that purpose. Boston is to have an intercity matinee at Read- ville September 17-20. The Billings horse will be the star attraction, with several flyers from Pittsburg, Cleveland, New York and Syracuse. Ethel's Pride 2:07%. by Directum, is a worthy daughter of a worthy sire. The Eastern races close at Memphis October 26th. If our California horses don't hurry up and win a few more races their owners will think railroad fares and freights are mighty high. It makes a big differ- ence with an owner whether his horse has been win- ning, when it comes to paying the freight. The well-known Denver pacing mare Daisy Field, 2.0S%, was discovered down in Ohio last month mas- querading as Ada M. At Dayton. Ohio, on August 2d this mare won the 2:27 pace. Daisy Field was for- merly owned by J. Fred Roberts of Denver ,who sold her two years ago to a man in Wisconsin. Daisy Field, alias Ada M., together with Harry Snyder, who entered her, and Harry H. Bonslough of Mendota, Illinois, have been suspended by the American Trot- ting Association. The latest news from Sacramento is that the di- rectors will take no cognizance of the betting that is to be carried on outside the fair grounds on private property. The usual custom of no return checks will be continued and if anyone wants to go outsi !e the grounds to place a bet on a horse, he will have to pay another fare to re-enter. It is probable that the bookmakers will buy whole bunches of tickets to give their patrons. It will be interesting to see how the new plan works. A match race was decided last Sunday at the San Jose track between Chas. De Courtioux's pacer, Charlie J., and H. Liebe's trotter Vic Schiller 2:11%. The race was for $500 a side and \vas won by Charlie J. in straight heats in 2:17 and 2:16%. The first lieal was won by a head and the second by a length. Considerable money changed hands on the result of race and a return match may be made. The fast gelding Lisonjero, 2:0S%, after being laid up for three weeks with lameness behind, is taking his work again and his trainer, TV. D. Howard, hopes to have him in shape for the Columbus Grand Circuit meeting. Even in England some of the turf journals are advo- cating the prohibition of bookmaking at race tracks, all betting to be done by the pari-mutual system. They all argue that the bookmakers are killing the game. New York turf journals are also printing articles in the same strain. France and Austria are far ahead of England and the United States in this matter They have nothing but the mutual pools and the government derives a large revenue from them, while the racing is kept cleaner. Mr R. C. Estill, president of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Association and proprietor of Elm- hurst Stock Farm, Lexington, offers a season to Todd, 2:14%, for the best yearling colt or filly by Todd exhibited at the Kentucky State Fair. After her race at Buffalo, in which she was dis- tanced, it was found that Miss-in-Law*s jaws had been locked by being twisted to one side so her teeth failed to mesh. It required a lot of force to put them back into place. At the Gentlemen's Driving Club matinee held at Washington Pai-k. Chicago, Mr. Billings drove the pacer, Morning Star 2:04%, a mile to wagon in 2:06. and Angus Pointer one in 2:06%. He gave Lou Dil- lon five heats in the morning in 2:30, 2:26, 2:16, 2:11% am.. 2:10%. James Y. Gatcomb, one of the many horse owners who resented the action of the Cleveland Driving Park Company in declaring off its Grand Circuit trot- ting meeting, has instituted proceedings against the organization asking that its directors and officers be suspended by the National Trotting Association for failing to live up to their agreements with the horse- men, says an Eastern dispatch. If you desire to have something easy to ride in, and comfortable for both you and your horse, call on the Kenney Manufacturing Company, 531 Valencia street and get one of those McMurray carts. A carload of carts and bikes just received. Sam Casto, of Salem, is thinking of bringing a string of eight or ten trotters and paces to either Pleasanton or Los Angeles this fall, to prepare for the circuit of 1906. A telegram from Cleveland says- As a direct result of the agitation against poolselling in Ohio, creating a dearth of demand for horses, the famous Two- Minute stock farm, including Star Pointer, 1:59%. and many other well known horses, will be sold at public sale or in private this fall. This announce- ment was made by Will B. White, manager of the farm. Among the matrons at the farm are Minetto 2:10%; Alice M. 2:10, and Javelin 2:08%. A dispatch from Chicago states that E. M. Hanna, president of the Cleveland Driving Club, offered C. K. G. Billings $30,000 for the champion trotting geld- ing Major Delmar 1:59% one day this week, that the offer was refused and then raised to $50,000, which offer Mr. Billings took under consideration. Albuta, Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick's gelding by Altivo, took a record of 2:11% at Providence on Wednesday of this week. The Sonoma County Driving Club will hold an afternoon of racing on Saturday, October 14th. A large number of entries are expected, and great in- terest is taken in the new club by the horsemen of Sonoma county. The meeting will be held at the popular Santa Rosa Stock Farm track.

Grand Circuit racing shifted to Providence, Khode this week, opening Monday with an attend- ance of thhty-five hundred. Three good races were 1, fast lime being made in the pacing events. In the first race, the 2.08 pace, Don Carr, owned by Tobias Burke of Providence, was favorite, selling at $100. with the field at $60. The big black pacer took the first heat, but dropped Ihe second one to Maud Keswick by a head. In the third heat, how- ever, Clark took his horse out around Keswick on the backstretch, and taking the pole, came down ander the wire a winner by at least ten lengths. The California pacer Irish by Monterey out of Juliet D. by McKinr.ey was a starter in this race and earned third money. All his miles were in 2: OS or better. v. as also a starter, but was last in the sum- ma rv. Bolivar, the Wayland W. gelding, was favorite for the 2:18 class pace, lor which a purse of $2000 was given. The California horse won the first heat and reduced his record to 2:07%. but the effort was too much for him, and he did not finish better than fourth in the next three heats, which were won rather easily by Doris B.. a daughter of Grattan. Stiletto, by Steinway. started, but was last. The 2:19 class trot was won by the black gelding Marone. owned by W. A. Clark Jr., and driven by Gerrity. Morone wintered at Pleasanton, and his heats in this race, which were all under 2:15, show that he is getting into form again. The summaries: Trotting. 2:20 class, purse $2000.

TWENTY YEARS' SNIPE SHOOTING. There was printed a remarkable book with the above title in 1S99, at the Knickerbocker Press, New York. As it was published for private circulation only, and no copies apparently were sent out lor review, it has escaped the notice of the critics, and is probably known to few readers beyond the im- mediate circle of the writer's own friends, amongst whom the book was distributed. It is a volume of some 300 pages, consisting of ex- tracts from the journals of the late Mr. J. J. Pringle. a noted Southern snipe shooter, and is illustrated with twenty-four photographs. The scene is laid at Oaklawn, Bayou Teche, in southwest Louisiana, where for twenty seasons Mr. Pringle enjoyed some of the finest snipe shooting in the world. It has been generally believed that the largest bags of snipe made by a single gun have been obtained in India, Ceylon and Egypt, and the remarkable bags made in Ire- land by Colonel John Peyton, as recorded by Sir R. Payne Gallwey in his "Fowler in Ireland." should not be overlooked, but all these are put completely in the shade by the results obtained in Louisiana by Mr. Pringle between the years L867-1887, when the country iiver which he sported was a perfect paradise for the snipe shooter. The ground over which he shot is thus described: "A few miles from Berwick's Bay there enters from the west the Bayou Teche. loveliest of Southern streams, navigable for more than 100 miles, pre- serving at all seasons an equal depth and breadth; so genili- is its flow that it might be taken for a canal, did not the charming and graceful curves by which it separates the undulating prairies of Atta- k; 1 1 •: ls from i he alluvium of the Atchafalaya mark it as a work of nature. The Teche waters the parishes of St. Mary, New Iberia, St. Martin, La- fayette and St. Landry — the Attakapas home of the v adians." Such was the condition of the country as Mr. Pringle found it in 1S67, and as it continued for the first fifteen or sixteen years of his shooting. It was, however, quite changed in later years by the exten- sion of the New Orleans and Opelousas Railway. now part of the Southern Pacific system, from Ber- wick's Bay, iis then terminus, to Franklin, eight miles from his shooting shack (which he called "The B <:: - Snipery") and afterwrards to San Francisco. Then the prairies and marshes which previously had been grazed over by herds of cattle, affording excellent feeding ground for snipe were gradually fence' drained and tilled, and the snipe grounds over whic] he used to shoot were gradually curtailed, and even^ tually entirely destroyed. His favorite ground consisted of low lying marsh with a green aquatic weed, which he called blue iris, bearing a beautiful blue flower in spring, and otfier water weeds and grasses affording excellent cover for the birds. Adjacent to these lower marshes, which he called the lower grounds, about fifteen to thirty inches above their level, sloping down to them with a gradual and almost imperceptible descent, was a low undulating prairie, which he called the upper grounds, in the depressions of which also grew the blue iris and various water grasses. The birds were generally found on the lower ground in dry weather, or when there had not been rain enough to submerge them but in wet weather, when these lower marshes we: too much flooded, they resorted to the upper grounds. The walking, as snipe shooting goes, was uncom monly good, so that one could get over the ground a a good pace, which in a measure accounts for th large bags that were made, althugh, of course, th good shooting must be taken into account. When snipe were abundant Mr. Pringle kept hi dog — either Setter or Pointer — at heel, and only used him to "seek dead," not to retrieve; for a dog sent out to retrieve would have put up many birds which would have gone off, some of them unshot at. So that by walking to the dead birds and picking them up himself he got many more shots. This, of course, gave more walking, but more shooting. Hi had an old negro attendant who was a wonderfi marker, and it was his busines when birds wen rising fast and the shooting was rapid to mark down and keep count of the dead birds, and then report the number down. Standing quite still and indicat- ing the spots one after another, Mr. Pringle would walk to the dead birds and pick them up. When snipe were numerous he would sometimes have ten or a dozen down at the same time, and by pursuing this plan in going from one to another, by the time he had gathered these he would perhaps kill several more, the majority of w7hich would have escaped unshot at if he had sent the colored man or dog for them. Mr. Pringle's method is so instructive to snipe shooters that it deserves to be quoted at length: "On reaching the ground and getting out of the wagon, I would station it on a ridge, with orders to keep within signalling distance, and when I re- quired more shells, or my men had as many birds as they could well carry, I would signal, and it would come to me as fast as possible. When birds were abundant I never allowed the dog to range, for a snipe is a very wild bird, with but little scent and a dog. however good and careful, would flush out of distance many more birds than he would point. When practicable I shot down wind, with a marker or beater walking abreast of me about fifteen yards off; with two beaters, one on each side of me, I would have the wagon meet me to leeward, and when I got to the end of the beat I would drive over the ground I had just beaten, so as not to disturb the rest of it. and take another parallel beat down wind, and^so on until I had shot all that ground out. Of- tener. however, I would begin on the weather side of the ground, and beat across wind. My beaters, if I had more than one, were then both to leeward of me, the one next to me about fifteen yards off and somwhat behind me, the other the same distance from the first and a little behind him. So, as snipe on raising generally fly to windward, I got shots at the birds rising, not only before me, but before my beaters. This would give me longer shots, but more of them. In shooting up wind — which, from the lay of the ground, I sometimes found it convenient to do — my marker would walk on a parallel line wi me, about fifteen yards oft and well behind — t] wilder the birds the farther behind; with two beate: one on each side of me, I walked well ahead. Indeed, I reduced the shooting of these grounds to a system (to which, to a certain extent, was due my large bags), so as to get each day as many birds as pos- sible in as short a time as possible." What these bags were like may be seen from the following extracts from the journal which was care- fully posted up each day on his return from shooting; the season commencing on November 1st and ending about the middle of March. The best six consecutive shooting days, with a rest between, were experienced in November. 1874. Thus: 19th November, 207; 21st November, 214; 23d Novem- ber. 22S; 25th November, 301; 27th November, 208; 30th November, 256; total for the six days. 1.414. In seven days in December, 1SS7, the bags were 270, 25 366. 271, 286. 233 and 262; total, 1,943. Over 300 a day were killed on certain occasion: making 972 in the three days. Over 200 a day were killed on twenty-six days, making in all 6,37S, and 300 and upwards were bagged on 2S5 days, giving a total of 40.367 snipe. During the twenty seasons' snipe shooting, from 1S67 te 1SS7, the following extra- ordinary result was obtained. Shooting Season. 1S78-79 ...

"For a few seasons I shot with guns of Lang, Purdey, and Grant; afterwards altogether with Pur- dey's hammer cylinder; then (when they came in) with a Remington hammerless choked — the perfection of guns, in my opinion — they shot so hard, wore so well, and handled so beautifully as to leave nothing to be desired, weighing 6 lb. 10 oz. As to shot. No. 9 chilled shot was used, sometimes No. S for the left barrel; I stuck to black powder for a long time, for I always had a feeling that it shot stronger. Event- ually, however, I used Schultz, though to the end I occasionally used black for the second barrel. I shot with only one gun at a time, and had no loader. From much practice I became very expert and quick in loading. Keeping the shells loose in an open pocket, I could slip them in with great rapidity." Though much exposed to wet and cold, this inces- sant snipe shooter was never prevented from shooting by ailment of any kind, except once, in the season of 1S7S-1S79, when he had a severe attack of rheumatic gout, complicated with malaria, but that did not pre- vent his killing that season 3.0S5 snipe in twenty- nine days. Mr. Pringle's journal is a book for Sacramento county snipe hunters to gloat over, and snipe shooters into whose hands it may chance to fall will do well to peruse it, and profit to a limited extent by the writer's experience, though they can never hope to meet with his success, and it is to be sincerely wished they do not, nor that they have the opportunity so to do. INTERSTATE ASSOCIATION. 1905 Pacific Coast Handicap at Targets. The largest blue rock tournament that has ever been held on the Pacific Coast will take place at the Ingleside grounds, in San Francisco, September 15th to 17th inclusive, under the management of the Inter- state Association, with Mr. Elmer E. Shaner at the helm. Mr. Shaner is so well known among the shoot- ing fraternity that the success of the undertaking is assured. There will be ten or twelve of the greatest experts from the East in attendance, as we have assurance R. O. HEDCES that Gilbert, Crosby, Hirschy, Heikes and Fanning are scheduled for the San Francisco event. As these men are all experts and manufacturers' representa- tives, they will not be allowed to compete for any of the prizes or purses, but will shoot in the events for exhibition purposes only. The events for three days consist of ten fifteen- bird races, five twenty-bird races, and two handicap races of 100 birds each, one to be known as the "Preliminary Handicap," and the other as the "Pacific Coast Handicap." The winner of either of these events will receive a beautiful silver cup, emblematic of his winning. The cups are the product of the fac- tory of Shreve & Co., San Francisco. A handicap committee has been appointed, consist- ing of the following well-known shooters, who are thoroughly capable of placing each shooter at his proper distance, in these events: M. J. Iversen, San Francisco; "W. H. Varien, Pacific Grove; M. Abrahams, Portland; Guy Lovelace, Los Angeles, and F. K. Mc- Broom, of Spokane. All events (except the two handicaps mentioned above) will be shot from the 16-yard mark. The development of the sport of trap shooting dur- ing the past ten years has been really phenomenal. Gun clubs are now numbered by the thousands, and there are but few of the many thriving cities and villages on the Coast that do not have organizations devoted to the sport of shooting at the traps. America is far ahead of any other nation, in fact surpasses all other nations combined, in respect to the number of clubs of this description. Other countries — par- ticularly Great Britain — have perhaps as large, if not a larger, percentage of sportsmen fond of recreation with shot gun and rifle, but trap shooting, and es- pecially the use of flying targets, seems to be almost a distinctively American pastime, and one which may before many years vie in popular interest with the national game of base ball. It is, of course, a pastime so entirely different from base ball that comparison can only be made as to their respective popularity, and it would seem safe to prophesy that if gun clubs increase in number as rapidly in the next ten years as during the past decade the trap shooters of Amer- ica will far outnumber the active base ball players. The reason of this remarkable development of shooting at the traps is largely the influence of the sportsmen's press. Surprising as it may seem the daily press, although keenly alive to the importance of recording in detail the news connected with almost every other branch of sport, has given comparatively little attention to trap shooting except where large tournaments are held attracting prominent sportsmen from various localities. A few sportsmen's journals. however, of national circulation and powerful influ- ence among devotees of field sports, have constantly and consistently advocated the advantages that are to be found in this line of recreation, so well adapted to the wants of those desirous of enjoying frequent outings within convenient distance of city or town as a recreation and relaxation from business cares. That this line of out door sport is conducive to health may be best attested by the physical vigor of a vast majority of those who participate in frequent club shoots. Through the rapid increase in numbers of trap shooting enthusiasts there has been a corresponding increase in the demand for guns, ammunition, traps, targets, etc. So great has been the increased sales of these appliances that trap shooting may be re- garded as an important factor when considering the causes which have necessitated enlarging the facilities of the various mills and manufactories devoted to the production of sportsmen's supplies. If it be true that he who causes two trees to grow where but one grew before is a public benefactor, it is not unrea- sonable to affirm that the periodicals devoted to healthful open air sports are doing comendable work, and are therefore entitled to the friendly considera- tion of those who derive benefit from the practice of these invigorating pursuits. Basing the handicap of each shooter upon his pre- vious record the system appears to be a fair one to all concerned. The primary purpose, of course, is to so equalize the shooters that none shall have an obvious advantage, and a careful analysis of scores should show when this object has been gained. If, at the close of a large tournament, or, prefer- ably— for a more conclusive test — a series of tourna- ments, the majority of leading prize winners under any given system of handicapping prove to be the experts, then the natural presumption is that the ex- pert class has not been handicapped heavily enough. On the other hand, if the amateurs win nearly ail the prizes there is good reason for believing that the expert has been too severely handicapped, and a re- adjustment on the basis of equalizing chances of all concerned will afford more uniform satisfaction. The amateur requires every encouragement consistent with justice, to insure the permanency of trap shoot- ing, yet the majority of amateur trap-shooters would not desire handicaps which would practically exclude the experts from any wins, when the latter are wel- comed in open competition. At the G. A. H. in 1903. for example, the scores of the big event indicated that the experts were too severely handicapped. At nearly all the tournaments, it is believed, the handicapping committee keeps in mind the motto — "a fair field, and no favor," and if, in some instances and apparent advantage seems to be in favor of the expert, or of the amateur, as the case may be, there should be no occasion to cast reflections or accusa- tions. A readjustment for the future, in such cases, will serve a better purpose than kicking. Although the development of the sport of trap shooting has been almost phenomenal during the past decade, there is still opportunity for further popular- izing this branch of outdoor sport to a remarkable degree. Thousands of gun clubs are now in existence where only a few hundred clubs existed twenty years ago, but with the proper spirit of progressiveness in the sport in every section of the country doubtless the number of gun clubs in the United States could be readily doubled. Much of the present populariy of shooting at the traps is due also to the work of the Interstate Association, and the well directed efforts of trade representatives. The great necessity at the present time is to stimu- late and retain the active interest of the inexper- ienced shooters, those who can never hope under equal conditions to share in division of prize money. This is a phase of the sport recognized in a practical way by the majority of trade representatives and by the Interstate Association, as the experts in the majority of the tournaments shoot for targets only, receiving no share of the prize money except in general aver- ages. Of course, many who shoot at the traps belong to that class known as "cheerful contributors." They shoot purely for sport, and they have no expectation of winning prize money, but as a matter of fairness and for the purpose of retaining the co-operation of this very desirable class of gentlemen sportsmen there should be such provision made when the club engages in sweepstake shooting that this is optional, so that the burden of expense falls upon those who have a reasonable fair chance of sharing in the purses. The system of handicaps can to some extent equalize the chances of the poorer shooter as compared with the expert, but no system yet devised has fully met the expectations of all classes of shooters. It is taken for granted that a large majority of those who shoot at the traps do so for love of the sport, and not for the desire or expectation of winning money, there- fore everything that tends to stimulate this love of recreation for the sport itself is to be highly com- mended. Club medals and trophies, even though of small value, would be prized more highly by the amateur shooter than any prize money. To preserve harmony and insure the co-operation of oil club members there should be an active inter- est on the part of all, so that the work should not fall almost entirely upon the secretary and one or two other officials. This unequal division of work and time becomes monotonous even to the most en- thusiastic, and the fall of many small gun clubs may be traced to this source. In nearly every large city of the United States gun clubs exist of correspond- ingly large membership, but the great chance for the development of the sport of trap shooting is in the smaller towns. In many of these no gun clubs exist, and there is a good field for promoting an interest on the part of sportsmen in such localities. Well regulated gun clubs not only develop accur- acy of aim in shooting, but carefulness in the hand- ling of guns as well. In fact, there could be no better primary school for the beginner than the practice at the traps. Here the club rules compel observance of necessary plans of caution, and when these are thoroughly learned the shooter will never, under any circumstances, endanger the life of any one by care- less shooting. Many other considerations might be mentioned to show the value of trap shooting as a form of outdoor recreatin. For example, thousands of men in cities who can readily spare a half day each week to enjoy sport of this kind, which may be had in the immediate vicinity, could not well de- vote the time required for a trip to distant game fields, and hosts of enthusiastic young shooters take delight in their Saturday's half holiday, or as in vogue on the Pacific Coast, Sundays, at the traps — a healthy form of diversion at moderate expense. Practical men have given much thought and care- ful consideration to the matter of handicapping shooters equitably in target shooting. The system of handicapping by fixing the number of yards at which each contestant shall stand, from the traps, can be made to equalize the chances of the expert and skill- ful amateur to a reasonable degree, and many gun clubs have adopted this with general satisfaction. AT THE TRAPS. The Golden Gate Gun Club shoot at Ingleside to- morrow will wind up a successful trap shoot program for 1905. During the past six monthly shoots the club members have received §600 in cash prize moneys. The final club purse tomorrow will be $100 — $25 for each class. The club membership is large and the organization is growing in popularity with the shotgun fraternity, indications for next season are strong for an increase in members, double the present number. The ownership of the high average trophy donated by Mr. A. M. Shields will be determined tomorrow. The leading contestants are M. O. Feudner and A. J. Webb, 540 each out of 600. Ed Schultz is npvt man up. W. H. Varien. who has a hack score to shoot, stands a strong chance to tie the leaders. At ail events the race will be one worth seeing. The Vallejo Gun . Club offers, as an attraction for the attention of shooters of Napa Valley and vicin- ity, a big merchandise shoot to come off tomorrow at the Flosden station trap ground. The Vallejoans are a jovial and hospital bunch of sportsmen and it is safe to say that there will be a full complement of saucer smashers on the firing line tomorrow. A small, but select, assembly of shooters on the Watsonville Rod and Gun Club grounds on the 20th inst. kept the traps going for a while. Among those who shot in two 20 -target events were: W. H. Varien, Pacific Grove, 16-20; H. M. Greene, Pacific Grove. 15-16; "Pop" Can*. Pacific Grove, 17-1S; Dr. A. M. Barker. San Jose. 20-17; Mr. Gammond, Pacific Grove, 17-16, and Tom Work. Pacific Grove, 16-1*. The Petaluma Blue Rock Club held the third and final prize shoot on the 20th inst. J. Lopus won the gold medal, scoring 50 out of 75 in three shoots. T. Mego won third prize with a score of 46. The Santa Rosa Gun Club has planned a big trophy shoot for September 20. At a recent trap shoot held at Trinidad shooters from Eureka, Blue Lake, Areata and other points participated. The occasion was the regular monthly shoot of the Trinidad Gun Club — with a clam chowder outing on the side. S. P. Cummings won the club gold medal, 19 out of 25. The scores in two events were: First event, 25 targets — Dr. Dungan, 14: F. Robin- sun. 11; S. Clanton. 17; Holmes, 19; H. Buhne, 33: Clancy, 16; Dean, 1G; F. Beach. 11: G. Pinkham. 16: F.

The Napa Gun Club shoot on the 20th inst. was well attended, the valleio contingent getting awaj with the up-valley shooters in the long run The first event was the -Charles Reams" Assem- bly Trophy Shoot,- with two bottles of champagne up as the winners end. It was won by Mayfield ot Napa. The scores were: Mayfield, 22 out of 25, Chap- pel 18, Reams 19, O'Hara IS, Coe 14, Mann lb. In the double shoot, five pairs, the scores were Chappel 9, Reams 6. O'Hara 5, Mann 5, Mayfield 3. in a second double shoot, five pairs, Mayfield broke 9. Chappel 9, O'Hara 8, Coe S, Reams 7, Mann 5. In the "0-target shoot the scores were: Coe 1-, O-Hara 14. Reams 15. Mayfield 15. In a IB-target shoot O-Hara got 9, Mayfleld 9, Reams 11. Uel The big event of the day was the three-man team shoot between Vallejo and Napa. The Napa team was composed of Mayfleld, Mann and Reams and they scored 36. The Valleio team was composed of Ellas, Chappel and O'Hara. and broke 33. The total scores were: Vallejo-34, 36 31 and 35 Napa made 35 29, 37 and 35, which concluded the 15-target. team shoots with honors even. Ten birds were next shot off with a score of 23 for each team. Finally a 25-target shoot was arranged to settle the event and Vallejo won by a score of 61 to 56. The Millwood Gun Club shoot for August did not have as large an attendance of members as usual. In the second event, R. Van Norden won for the month with 21 out of 25 targets. W. Price won the third race after shooting off a tie with Collins Si. and Collins Jr. The latter shooter was the winner of the freeze-out shoot. The final club shoot for this season will take place September 24th. The leading guns are- Cup race and continuous break shoot. R Van Norden; medal match, R. Haas. The win- ners in the sealed condition events will be announced next month. . ^,^„ ^joP_rb0Aucr,Lsi Qhnot were: Freeze-out against a handicap that kept down his score, not- withstanding that he was shooting in good form.

The opening shot was made by P. J. Walsh, who scored, he missed his second and seventh birds and lost the fourteenth dead out. Dr. Barker of San Jose also lost three birds, his total score for the seven shoots was 92; two more pigeons would have put him tie with three cup winners. "Slade " who missed one shoot, also lost three pigeons. Nauman, 33 yards, shot in old time form, and scored a straight string; this gave him a total of 94 birds and put him in the cup winning squad. Ed Donohoe, 33 yards, who has been shooting con- sistently and well all the year, lost his seventh pigeon, but at that his total of 95 placed him club high gun for 1905, a position won by hard work and skillful shooting. Dr. McConnell, who had lost seven birds in the prior shoots, failed to connect with four birds, but was out of the prize contest even had he scored clean. Clarence Haight lost but one bird, the sixth, and shot a strong gait throughout the day, winding up with 92 kills to his credit, a loss of five birds early in the season was the handicap that he could not overcome. W. J. Golcher also failed to connect with No. 7 pigeon, a bird hard hit. but strong enough to pack away plenty of lead. His season's total of 94 entitled him to a cup, however, tieing Feudner and Nauman for the Berles— a fact which proves that he has been a good performer this season. M. O. Feudner, with a straight of 20 clean kills, landed 111 the cup win- ners' class. He has been shooting in great fettle recently, at both live birds and blue rocks. B. Klevesahl's eighth and fifteenth pigeons were unlucky and the score en hills just landed him In the 93 hole, a peg below the eup look-in. Ed. Schultz found his twelfth pigeon a lost bird ami. al- though shooting in good shape, could not score straight. Losses of pigeons early in the season put his gun out of the trophy hunters' squad. Frank Turner, a comparatively new shooter at pigeons, al- though missing No. ,3 shot himself Into the club purse division with the 19 men. Billy Murdock's gun has had "glass arm" evidently, for his score of 18 and total of 89 is hardly up to his average of past years. A. M.

Six events are scheduled for each day — including two big and two smaller merchandise prize events. A mention of the long array of articles secured for prize distribution would look like the inventory of a wholesale general store. This shoot will no doubt draw a large gath- ering of shooters. Salmon in Raccoon Straits. The present run of salmon has enabled a number of anglers to enjoy rare sport trolling Raccoon straits and vicinity. Not only have the bay anglers taken a number of fine fish, but adventurous anglers have gone outside the "heads" in power launches and tackled Prof. Quinnat in the waters of the Pacific. Who knows but by dint of persevering in prospecting the outside water, that fishing on- par with the sport in Monterey bay and Santa Barbara channel may be duplicated. There are not a few anglers who have long contended that the game is outside await- ing development. The small number of sportsmen who do fish outside the Golden Gate rarely return empty handed and are persistent in reiterating stories of the splendid sport to be had outside. Billy Mersfelder and a party landed six fine salmon outside on last Sunday. Two other fish were taken by fishers off Sausalito. Between Belvedere Point and Bluff Point, off Tib- uron, a number of fish have been taken within the past ten days. Members of the Pacific Striped Bass Club accounted for a dozen fish. A salmon caught last Sunday off Belvedere Point is said to be have turned the scale at 35 pounds, a pretty good fish that. Charles Kewell and Sam Wells had a try after salmon on Wednesday, but were unsuccessful. Mr. Ammet, a local angler, caught a 12-pounder on Sun- day. Mr. Paynter, who went out early this week with Capt. Ehrke, hooked eleven fish, one weighing 23 pounds. Tomorrow there will be a large fleet of trolling boats out. The fish have been taken with both sar- dine baits and trolling spoons, the sardine, it is claimed, being the better lure. A number of salmon trailers have been "cleaned out" by salmon hooked in the straits. Striped Bass Notes. The thoughts of the striped bass fishers are directed to Russian river near Duncan's, these days, for sev- eral large bass have been taken out of the river during the past two weeks. L. Boutelier, of this city, it seems, is the lucky angler. Early last week a 26-pound bass was caught in the river, but this week Boutelier landed the Coast record rod and line striped bass — a fine fish that weighed 45 pounds. Early this year he caught a bass, in Russian river, that weighed 3S pounds cleaned; thus twice in one year beating the record of the late Fred H. Bushnell, that of a 29-pounder, taken in San Antone slough three or four years ago. The lure for striped bass in Russian river is a live minnow and the big fish have been found prin- cipally in the well known pool near Freeze-out creek. San Antone slough was visited by a large number of bass anglers last Sunday. Most of the visitors drew blanks. J. G. Bliss was high hook with an S-pounder. W. S. Kittle caught a small fish. In fact not a half dozen bass were- taken between twenty-five fishermen. Striped bass are in evidence at Vallejo, a number having been caught during the week in the "channel." San Leandro bay and vicinity is turning out only small bass at present. A combination of clam shells and a rubber boot leg was a device used to fool the slough contingent, it is said, by a fisherman who caught very small fish in San Antone slough recently. Instead of throwing back the little fish, the fish were slyly stowed away in a rubber boot in the boat and a clam shell tossed overboard to make it appear that the fish was thrown back. The game was too gauzy for those who hap- pened to be near and the laugh is on a certain local angler. b i ■■ .' pi \m VENLBER 2, 1905J ®he gveebev cmt» *&p&vtemcm 11 ick bass fishing near Sebastopol, in the Big ion, is first class. The fish are large, game, and plendid condition. Frank Marcus, Harry Leap Jules Bruns caught a big string o£ fine fish in water last Sunday. Marcus is enthusiastic in lling the black bass angling of this resort. ■i " is .""I . W. Richards, who is enjoying the angling pos- ;: ities in and about Santa Cruz, recently wrote friend in this city: Te are catching a few salmon again now. For onth past the yellowtail and skip-jacks (bonita) ; held possession of the bay and they keep the ion from coming in. Last year it was the same Although we had no yellowtail then (nor had my for ten years previous) the skip-jacks come bout August and stayed several weeks, then went y and the salmon returned. We look for fine ion fishing in a few days, as most everyone out erday got one. rout fishing is fine and with my 4>4-ounce rods n get the same play and sport with a 7 or 8-inch ,t stream trout that the man with the ordinary nee rod gets out of fish weighing half a pound over. My salmon rod is 11-ounce and with a hread line it makes a great set-to with fish aver- g 12 and 15 pounds, arge caliber shotguns in the field and base ball for rods should be relegated to ancient history n so much sport can be had with lighter outfits, steel-heads are running up the streams here now catches of a dozen or fifteen averaging a half three-quarter pound are made every evening in streams around Santa Cruz." :.:! Sportsmen who have looked over many favorite quail grounds recently state that birds are plentiful and the young well grown. The season has been a good one for the birds. Ducks are exceedingly plentiful in the marsh land and tule sections. Teal and mallard have bred num- erously this season and sprig are seen in great num- bers in many places, particularly on the "White tract" of the Petaluma marshes. Should the rains hold off until after the middle of October duck shooting will be excellent in the nearby shooting resorts. TRADE NOTES. Game Laws. The Union Metallic Cartridge Company has issued a digest of the Game Laws of the United States and Canada, together with a list of some of the licensed Guides with their addresses. Game Laws are subject to frequent change and shooters are oftentimes caused a great deal of inconvenience, although they are innocent of any intention of breaking the law. The U. M. C. Game Laws and Guide Directory is a booklet of convenient size so as to be easily carried in the pocket. It may be obtained free of charge by writing The Union Metallic Cartridge Co , Bridgeport, Conn. Agency, 313 Broadway, New York City; Depot, First Street, San Francisco, Cal. DEER HUNTING NOTES. tie largest buck reported this season is the one jed by Mr. Phil S. Driver of Sacramento. The rial weighed 206 pounds dressed and was shot Klamath Hot Springs. It is said to be the ''■ est buck killed in Klamath county for many years. L>untry Club members have had some excellent t recently. On the 24th inst. Mr. F. W. Van len and Mr. Geo. Boyd were out deer hunting, their sons, youths in their teens. Young Van den dropped a 102-pound buck, ne day this week Mr. J. Downey Harvey, accom- ied by the Misses Harvey and Miss Crocker, were deer hunting on the club preserve. The young es had the good luck to jump two bucks, both of ch were bagged by the unerring rifles used by the Dianas. -^ recent report from Santa Clara county states: ronged deer are many, but wary, these days, say hunters of the county, who have spent days in stamping grounds of the valley, some with excel- ; luck, others with but fair and not a few with absence of good fortune that is exasperating. he sport this year has been unexpectedly good. na Prieta has furnished twelve fat bucks. Black jntain has yielded seven and dozens of others have dropped on the headwaters of the Coyote and und through the Santa Cruz mountains. >eer hunters this season are more numerous than al and in conesquence many more monarchs of forest have been brought in than usual. While great number of deer have been killed in any place, the hunters as a rule have met with d success in all parts of the county. . The hunters m Los Gatos have got five in the vicinity of Alma, 11 have been killed at Vic Poncelet's on the Llagas, 11 by the sportsmen from Almaden, four at Morgan 11, two at Madrone Springs, seven back of Mount imilton, two at Harney's summer resort on the ifal Averages Reported. At Ocean City, Md., July 2oth to 28th, J. M. Haw- kins won first general average, 761 out of S00, shoot- ing "DuPont; W. M. Foord of Wilmington, Del., won first amateur and second general average, 750 out of 800, shooting "DuPont;" L. S. German of Aberdeen, Md., won second amateur and third general average, 744 out of S00, shooting "DuPont." Fort Dodge, la., July 27th and 28th, Fred Gilbert won first general average, 391 out of 400, shooting "DuPont;" R. R. Barber of Paullina, la., won first amateur and second general average, 389 out of 400, shooting "DuPont;" H. G. Taylor of Meckling, S. D., won second amateur and third general average, 382 out of 400, shooting "New E. C." (Improved). Newport, R. I., July 28th and 29th, W. H Heer won first general average, 309 out of 325, shooting "New E C." (Improved) ; E. C. Griffith of Pascoag, R.

In the 5 Obird race for the Laflin & Rand trophy on the second day of the tournament Mr. F. R. Patch of Hartley, la., won over a field of 21 with 47 breaks, shooting "DuPont." ing Ballistite. R. C. Bartlett won first amateur average, and T. J. Armstrong second amateur average, both shooting Ballistite. It was also a notable fact that every contestant at this shoot used Ballistite the second day. Going Some. Ninety-seven and one-half per cent for 1600 tar- gets is high class shooting. This is the shooting done by Charles G. Spencer in a series of shoots from July 25th to August 9th. He made two scores of 220 out of 225, one of 22S out of 235. and one clean score of 165 straight in this series of shoots. As would be naturally presumed from this, he used the far famed and popular Winchester "Leader" shells, the shells that make and break world's records. Mr. Spencer uses the "Leader" shell exclusively in all his shoot- ing, both at the traps and in the field. At the tournament at Mason City, Ia„ o;i the 1st and 2nd inst., out of 400 targets shot at. W. D. Stannard. Fred Gilbert and H. C. Hirschy broke 384, 383 and 381 respectively, and R. R. Barber, an amateur, broke 37S. winning the high amateur average for the tourna- ment All the above, of course, used Winchester "Leader" shells. At Pine Bluff, Ark., July 30th and 31st, W. H. Joyner, J. D. Proctor and J. M. Penning- ton won the three high amateur averages, all using the "Leader" shells, the first and last also using Win- chester "Pump" guns. At the Crockett, Texas, tour- nament F. M. Faurote captured the high professional average, with the splendid score of 3S7' out of the possible 400 targets, using a Winchester "Pump" gun and the "Leader" shells, the combination he always uses. At the tournament of the Harvard Gun Club, San Antonio, Texas, Mrs. Ad. Toepperwein. the wife of Ad. Toepperwein. the world's greatest rifle shot on flying objects, gave a demonstration of what she could do with a Winchester "Pump" gun and the Winchester "Repeater" shells on "blue rocks." Mrs. Toepperwein led the entire field and captured the high possible 215. Out of the regular program events she broke 94 out of 100 and made a run of 63 straight without a miss. iita Ysabel, one at Smith's Creek, two at Black luntain, three south of Calaveras, one back of .-> m Rock, three on the Arroyo Honda ridge, three '1 k of Saratoga, one at Hall's Valley. 'he prospects for fall shooting are very good. Ballistite Briefs. The fact that Ballistite is growing fast in popularity and favor is shown by the following popular wins: At Gridley, Cal., June 10 and 11, D. W. King, Jr., and "Ballistite" tied for high general average. J. H. Hazelbush won high amateur average at the same shoot, and shot Ballisite. At the Montana State shoot held at Bozeman, Mont., June 9, 10 and 11, C. D. Plank won high general average, breaking 259 out of 265, or 97. S per cent; also a run of 139 consecutive breaks. Mr. Plank also won first expert average at the Northwest Sportsmen's Association shoot at Portland, Ore., June 22, 23 and 24, using Ballistite in all his shooting. At the same shoot J. W. Bradrick won the Ana- conda Cup, breaking 25 straight, the only clean score made in this event. He also won third amateur aver- age. He shoots Ballistite. At the shoot of the Grant's Pass Gun Club at Grant's Pas.i, Ore., July 4 and 5, R. C. Reed won high gen- eral ?".d expert average, making 93.5 per cent, shoot- Peters Points. At Centralia, 111., August 15, W. D. Stannard was high professional, H. W. Cadwallader second high professional, Mr. Shanks of Centralia high amateur, and Mr. P. Neal third high amateur; all using Peters' factory loaded shells. At San Marcos, Texas. August 14 and 15, M. E. Atchison was high amateur and C. F. Gilstrap second amateur. Wallace R. Miller was high professional on the second day, and Ivey Johnson of San Marcos won the Peters' cup with 45 out of 50, breaking his last 25 straight. All these gentlemen used Peters' factory loads'. Mr. A. W. Kirby of Greenville, Ohio, in a series of contests, ending August 14, cleaned up about all the prizes in sight, winning first prize, the Tunter Arms Co. trophy, and the Peters' medal. Mr. Kirby used Peters' Ideal shells exclusively, and in this contest scored 632 out of a possible 750 from the 20-yard mark. At the Interstate shoot, Kansas City, Mo., August 16, 17 and IS, the high general average for the first day. and the high amateur average for three days was won by Mr. William CVeach of Falls City, Neb. Mr. Veach was third in the general averages and Mr. E. W. Arnold of Lamed, Kas., landed the third amateur average. Both gentlemen used Peters' shells. August 16. William Veach won high average over all amateurs and professionals, with a score of 192 out of 200, using Peters' factory loaded shells. Mr. J. E. Vaughan, representing the Peters' Cart- ridge Company in Southern California, recently made a very excellent record, shooting at 650 targets in five different towns and breaking 96.1 per cent, Mr. VFaughan is demonstrating to the sportsmen of Cali- fornia the superior qualities of Peters' factory loaded shells.

It is certain if continued to ng about a scarcity of cattle. They i in ample supply now and it may ! te several years to bring numbers ■irs down below the point of sufficiency, but while the herds are being reduced, the country is growing and some day it will be confronted with a cattle shortage. Neither the range nor the farm is going out of the cattle, but enough men on both are doing so to make a big difference in a few years unless the tendency is checked. For the man who has the pluck to hold on and the skill to improve his herd the future of the cattle business is bright. The agricultural fair season for the holding of fairs offers unexcelled op- portunities for the study of animal types and the intelligent selection of the breeding animals required on the farm. Every farmer who handles stock must certainly understand the impor- tance of owning the well bred animal, and that the secret of success in the breeding effort is in the proper selec- tion and purchase of breeding stock. The agricultural fair, as it is con- ducted at the present time, in the interest of live stock breeding and im- proved live stock interests, offers the best advantages for bringing the buyer and breeder together upon an inde- pendent, unconstrained basis for trade. At no other place and on no other occasion can the prospective buyer have the advantage of so large a num- ber of animals to select from. Sponges. S.

Edmonson, a Texas swine 3tJder, recently read a paper before h< Farmers' Congress in which his /fcU in regard to exhibiting at fairs J| set forth as follows: Jtould breeders exhibit at the fairs? ■ ould answer yes, and will give a M reasons why I do so. The fairs Lr« educational institutions, from the •Ol'ty to the great State and inter- lajonal fairs.

'he breeder is benefited in many Mfs. It is one of the greatest adver- timents that there is and to exhibit a, .inning herd is still greater. Every B..'spaper wants to publish the win- pig ones and so there is more adver- ting. Besides thousands of people ft t the fairs to see the stock on ex- feition, and by having a good exhibit yi make a great many sales that you I iM not make by staying at home, tl there are some people who won't bj' until they see what they are buy- «, and others that will see your stock at give you orders in the future But ti greatest benefit derived by the beder is in showing his hogs along w h other herds, where he gets the biefit of a disinterested man's judg- nut, and can see for himself where b hogs are weak and where they are 8 mg, and go to work to remedy the fleets before another show comes off. k breeder remarked to me once, after h had seen the hogs passed on for t first time that he had learned more fc 1 day about what it took to make a how hog than he had learned since h' had been in the business.

Carpet wools are so high that great quantities of them are now paying the seven-cent duty which used to pay only the four-cent duty, because they are worth more than 12 cents a pound. The advance in price is due pretty much to the fact that Russian carpet wools are being used for array cloths in that country and the supply for America is thus seriously restricted. When the war is over carpet wools ought to be easier and bring less money. One result of the increase in price and consequent higher rate of duty has *> PATENT FEEDERS Handy No Waste.

THE CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR, which closes day at Sacramento, is being held for the first time the splendid new property acquired by the State ^ricultural Society, located about two miles east of 'i e capital city. After a hasty glance over the ounds on the opening day, we have no hesitation saying that the new park is the best laid out, most •mmodious and best appointed fair grounds on the astern slope of the Rocky Mountains. Everything 1 new, of course, and incomplete, as work was not mmenced until June this year, but all that has been ■ne has been well done, and the track, the barns, e grand stand, the show grounds, etc., have all been - anned and built in a manner that reflects credit on chitects and builders alike. The transportation eilities are excellent, and with a few details to be mpleted will be ample for the handling of both hibits and patrons. California now has the oppor- nity to make its State Fair one of the great annual positions of America. It can be made to attract ithin its gates every year ten times the number at have visited it this year on the Gays other than e two legal holidays which so fortunately occurred iring the seven days on which its gates were open, le Directors labored under many disadvantages this •ar. and deserve much credit for what they have complished, but if they wish to make the California ate Fair the exposition which its founders intended to be, they will have to divorce themselves from few of the old customs that have brought the ciety into disrepute during the last few years. In e first place the State Fair is not given for the •nefit of the hotel keepers and street railroads of icramento. One week is enough for any fair, and is not right to make visitors stay in a town ten ijs to see a six days' show. The great States of inois, New York and Ohio find six days ample for 1 exhibition of their products. Opening the Califor- a State Fair on Saturday this year was a mistake, undreds of people who would have enjoyed seeing ' e Occident Stake trotted, -the richest stake event - r trotting colts in the West, stayed at home because . ey did not care to spend Sunday and Monday in 1 icramento, or else be compelled to go home Sunday arning and return to that city Tuesday morning, onday was Labor Day, a general hdliday all over * e country. It would have been an opportune time I trot the Occiden.t Stake, but the day was turned er to broncho busting and six cheap running races, lose only excuse for being on any program was that ! e results might be gambled on. Of course the tendance on Monday was large, as is always the se on a general holiday, but had the Saturday pro- am been provided for that day the gate receipts >uld have been twice as great. Another mistake of e Directors is their blind adherence to the belief at running races are the chief end of State Fairs d must be made the principal feature of the daily cing program. The owners of harness horses pay 1 per cent, of the amount of each purse for the privi- t ?e of competing for them, while the runners are , ven free entrance to every event. It would be better treat all alike. Make the owners of running horses |l| y 5 per cent, and make the purses larger. This , mid reduce the number of running events but it ' mid improve the quality of the fields. These criti- ' ;ms are spoken in the most friendly spirit. It is ! r desire to see the California State Fair made one the great institutions of the West and it can be :i ide so by catering to the farmers, mechanics and lilders of this commonwealth. The idea"! for the ir must be set higher; there must he a supreme :ort to interest the breeders and producers of the ate. Tt is time to discard the syndicate bookmaking feature that has been the curse of former fairs. It is time to introduce the latest and most approved methods by which the breeders qf live stock, the growers of fruit and grain, the inventors and build- ers of machinery, and the workers in all the fields of labor, art and science, can be induced to send the results of the work of their hands and brains to Sacramento once a year for the enlightenment and instruction of the youth of the State, as well as all those who are striving to build homes in California and establish enterprises that will be taken care of and carried on by future generations. There is a great future for the California State Fair, but it will require the best thought and effort of its Board of Directors to develop it. THE DEATH OF SADIE MAC, the great race mare, was a deplorable incident of the Hartford meeting this week. It seems strange that the trainer and care- takers of such an animal should be so deceived in her condition as to start her in a race when she was ill, and it seems more strange that after she had strug- gled through .three heats they should still have been ignorant of the illness that caused her death in the fourth heat. Sadie Mac was one of the handsomest, best dispositioned and fleetest trotters ever bred. She never lost but one previous race in her whole career, and that was at Cleveland last season, where Aerolite was given the verdict over her for the gold chal- lenge cup at the Intev-City matinee, although many present were certain Sadie Mac had won. As a three-year-old she won both the Kentucky and the Hartford futurities, and two other three-year-old purses, closing the season with a record of 2:11%. As a four-year-old she beat Louise Mac and Prince of Orange at the Pittsburg matinee in 2: iis1,^ and 2:09. This year she swept through the Grand Circuit winning everything, and reducing her record to 2.06^4. The sum of $30,000 had been offered for her and refused, her owner, Miss Walk, prizing her be- yond any money value. Sadie Mac was bred by the late J. Malcomb Forbes of Boston, and foaled in 1900. Her sire was the great colt trotter, Peter the Great 2:07%. son of Pilot Medium and Santos by Sentinel. Her dam was the great brood mare Fanella 2:13 by the greatest of all colt trotters, Arion 2:07% by Elec- tioneer. Her second dam was Directress, t>y Director 2:17, her third dam Aloha, dam of three in the list by A. W. Richmond, and her fourth dam Guadalupe by Crichton. The death of such a mare as Sadie Mac- is a distinct loss to the breeding industry. There was no better bred one. She was bred for a fast trotter and was one. She had speed enough to have lowered her mark to 2:03 or better, and coming from a continuous line of great brood mares would have been invaluable in the stud. WOODLAND'S MEETING has been declared off. The list of entries received was so small that Man- ager Chas. Spencer decided it were better to have no meeting at all this year than one in which only two or three horses would compete in every race, so he very wisely notified the horsemen that the meeting was off. Woodland has never yet given anything but a first class meeting and it is not proposed to lower the standard or disappoint the Yolo county people who so generously patronize harness racing held at the Woodland Stock Farm track. Next year Mr. Spencer says Woodland will be in the circuit and the an- nouncement made and program published early in the year. Several other associations are making the same promise. The chances are that the California harness racing circuit of 1906 will be worth while, as the horsemen of every town in the State where a track is located are determined that meetings shall be given at all of them next season. They are just beginning to wake up and realize that a circuit can be held in California every year that will be second to no other circuit in the United States except the Grand Circuit. A SUGGESTION comes from the Chicago "Tribune" in regard to the manner in which the daily press of the country reports racing, and as it follows lines that have for years been put forth in the columns of the Breeder and Sportsman, we give it space here: "Some of the New York race track writers are doing the sport no good by their manner of handling reports oj races. These correspondents seem t<> have the idea that the betting end is quite the overshadowing feature and that a majority of readers of track news care primarily for accounts of this incidental to the day's doings. Their judgment may be correct, as they continue to hold their jobs, but if the betting is. after all, of more concern to those who read racing news than the interests on the tracks and the doings of owners and trainers, then the sport it not what has been claimed for it by many. If this is a correct estimate of the character of the public which sup- ports racing about the metropolis the sooner a State's Attorney Healy appears in New York the better it will be. There is undoubtedly a good sized element in every racing community which sees nothing to interest it in the 'sport' but the gambling feature. It has little sentiment for horses or for a royal con- test among the four-legged animals which themselves love so well the sport to which they are bred. These people bore you with tales of their winnings and pos- sibly their losings, but the thrilling points in a race seldom make an impression upon them. Yet there is a more intelligent, a more sportsmanlike element, which, while it would find racing stupid enough with- any opportunity to back its own judgment on the track, finds the sport a fascinating one for reasons that are largely sentimental, the mercenary considera- tion to a race being merely like a bit of sauce on the side. These persons are fond of racing for the sport it affords and not because they regard it as a medium of making money, for an intelligent man knows it is not, however much he may be willing to "keep a little ahead of the game' the while he is having his outing. This class of patrons care little for the news of the plungers and less about the bookmakers. It is, therefore, merely a question of proportion. Who is supporting racing about New York? Is it, in the main, a sport seeking colony, or is it merely a set of people whose tastes are on a par with crap shooters? And, in the meantime, what will the disinterested public, which watches all classes of news in the daily journals, think if it continues to be regaled daily wilh little more than accounts of the success or slaughter of 'favorites,' the troubles of the book- makers, and the triumphs of the plungers? Who was it that once called it the sport of kings'."' LOS ANGELES PROGRAM. The program for the November meeting of the Los Angeles Harness Horse Association has been an- nounced.

The barns for the draft horses, : ml beef cattle, sheds for sheep, hogs, etc., are as complete as they can be made and offer a strange l contrast to the old tumbledown shacks s have been showing in during the past 1 years at the old grounds. The new grand stand, while called a temporary affair, is the best arranged in California. There is not a seat in it. from the lower to the top row, but affords a view of every foot of the magnificent track, and every occupant thereof since the State Fair of 1905 opened has spoken in praise of the architect that designed it and the Board of Directors under whose management it was built. The horse barns are complete in every detail, with large roomy box stalls all ventilated in the most ap- proved manner. There is plenty of room for the cattle and they are a feature of this year's fair. The grounds being entirely new are not shaded, of course, but a tree planting enterprise has already been started with Mrs. Burke, wife of Director Frank H. Burke as the leading spirit, and it is proposed to have the grounds planted with fast growing trees that will give shade and beauty to the place. The track is laid out as perfectly as the surveyor and graders could make it. The work was all done under the supervision of Mr. A. M. Allen, the greatest track builder in America, and it is his last and his best work. One winter's rain is all it needs to make it the fastest track on the Coast. In spite of the fact that it has not had enough water owing to the delay in getting the ground piped, a heat was paced un it the first day in 2:10 and a three-year-old trotted a fourth heat over it in 2:15%. On the opening day probably two thousand people were present. It was a larger crowd than usual for the first day of the fair, and the directors were pleased. In the .-judges' stand Directors Geo. W. Kingsbury, and Frank H. Burke sat as judges of the harness events, with Kd R. Smith of Los Angeles as starter and Geo. i: Kelley as clerk of the course. S& n in v Albert Lindley was ubiquitous. Although it was his first fair he was much better than a raw hand, and with a year's experience will make as effi- cient a secretary as the society ever had. He is painstaking, level headed, affable, has excellent execu- tive ability and is greatly interested in the success of of the organization. It is his aim to put the Califor- nia State Fair on a high plane and to make it what it was intended, a great annual exposition of the State's products and progress. He seems to be the right man in the right place. The Races. When the bell was rung to announce the opening of the racing program, the first to appear was the well known trainer. H. S. Hogoboom, -who was sitting behind the pacing mare Daisy E. by Richards Elector, ■ lam a Waldstein mare. Daisy E. is owned by Mr. Geo. Cressy of Sacramento, and Mr. Hogoboom started her for a record. She paced a nice mile in 2:22, the first official time made on the new track. The bell was rung again, this time for the three- ■ i -"Id trotters that were to compete for the rich i 'CCldent Stake, which had a total value of $3885. divided Into three moneys — 60, 30 and in per cent. Starting paymenl had been made upon nine of the original entries, but only four appeared to race for the money. North star, the tall, big-striding Nut- ■ ""I Wilkes gelding, was favorite on the strength of his great rai e al Santa Rosa just two weeks prev- ious wheri hi won in straight heats and trotted two ■ m in 2:13%. Bellemont, the fast Zombro filly, econd choice and Princess Louise, daughter of Coronado, was next in favor, with Sir, Carlton, a handsome and nice moving son of Nutwood "Wilkes, but little thought of as a factor in the race, although in any previous year he might have been picked to win. When the scoring began North Star did not seem to be trotting squarely and it was whispered that he was not iu proper shape, while it was known that his driver, Charles Whitehead, was anything but well and had tried to get a substitute to drive the colt during the race. Mr. J. B. Iverson of Salinas, breeder and owner of North Star, was confident how- ever that his colt's great speed and gameness would land him winner of first money and his confidence was not misplaced. On getting the word the first time Princess Louise went right to the front and was not headed during the mile. North Star broke twice dur- ing the heat, the second time indulging in a long run, although he seemed to lose greatly by it. In the race to the wire Princess Louise kept the lead and Durfee drove to beat North Star, but the Nutwood Wilkes gelding beat her out by nearly a length. The heat went to Princess Louise, Bellemont being placed sec- ond, Sir Carlton third and North Star set back to last place for running, greatly to .the surprise of the spec- tators. The time was 2:20. winnings amounted to $2491 first money and $34S.5> third money, or a total of $2839.50, which, added ti the $1750 won by him in the Breeders' Futurity makes his total winnings on the two races $4589, 50 Mr. Iverson received the congratulations of a largi, number of friends, and Trainer Charles Whitehea< came in for much praise for his handling of the colt Bellemont proved herself a fast, game and consisten filly. The 2:09 class pace had a field of eight starters While there was a bunch of fast sidewheelers in thii event, Mr. A. Ottinger's good stallion Daedalion haii an easy race of it and won three straight heats jusi swinging, H. Ward, his driver, easing him up at thd >"'■ Scoring, Second Heat, in Occident Stake An excellent start was given in the second heat and Bellemont went to the front, but Princess Louise had the speed to take the lead and keep it up the back stretch. Here Bellemont passed her and in a drive home, in which North Star broke and then, regaining his feet, showed his wonderful speed, they made a grand race to the wire. Bellemont won by a neck in 2:17%, a new record for her and a very fast mile for the track which was surely four seconds slow. Bellemont now ruled favorite, and it was thought she would finish the race in the next two heats. She won the third heat in 2:18%, North Star making a disastrous break. In the fourth heat North Star was a little steadier. Whitehead took him back a little at the start and Durfee drove Bellemont in the lead. In the stretch the struggle for first money began in earnest. North Star's speed began to tell and he gradually gained on the little mare, coming on even terms with her about 150 yards from the wire and beating her to the judges by a half length in 2:15%. the fastest heat of the race and a much better mile than his 2:13% at Santa Rosa. In this heat Bellemont showed her gameness, as she struggled hard to keep the lead, but was out trotted. In this heat Princess Loiuse and Sir Carlton were distanced. The fifth heat was a duel between the gelding and the filly. They trotted in close company all the way and a finer exhibition of game trotting and high-class driving has not been seen on a California track for many a day. North Star led by a neck at the quar- ter, at the half the positions were the same, and at the three-quarters was a half length in froat. Here he began to draw away and when he trotted under the wire in 2.17% the little mare was evidently too tired to make a fighting finish. The last heat had several thrills in it. Bellemont broke just as the word was given, but after a few strides regained her feet and shot to the front and was leading by four lengths at the half. In this heat Whitehead showed his ability as a driver and his confidence in North Star as a stretch trotter. Al- though Durfee had passed him and was in the lead, Whitehead sat still and waited until turning into the stretch before calling on his colt for his best efforts. At the three-quarters two lengths separated the two, and on entering the straight they were neck and neck. With that marvelous long stride which carries him over the ground at such a rapid rate, North Star came down the sJ retch at increasing speed and crossed the wire four lengths in front of Belle- mont in 2:18%, a wonderful mile over a heavy track for the sixth heat of a three -year-old race. This race stamps North Star as one of the greatest three-year-olds seen on this coast for years. His finish of each mile. The second heat was in 2:10, tho first heat in that time to the credit of a horse on thd new track. It was the general opinion that Daedalior could have paced a mile that day on a good traqli^ close to 2:05. He is a better horse than ever in life cs life and Mr. Ward deserves great credit for th(i horse's condition. "Vision paced a good race and wor second money, Virginia winning third aind Kellj Briggs fourth. While the 2:15 trot was finished in three heats, al of which were won by Charlie T., it was a horse race ■ In the betting Adam G. and Charlie T. divided fav- oritism. Cuate, Wild Bell and Lady Jones being ir the field. In the first heat Charlie T. took the lead Zibbell lying second two lengths back with the Mc- Kinney gelding until the far turn was reached wher a race began between the two. They were head am' head down the stretch, but Adam G. went to a breal and Charlie T. crossed the goal a half length in the lead in 2:16%, the other three far behind. In the second heat Zibbell adopted different tactics taking Adam G. right to the front and opening uj a gap of three or four lengths by the time the quartei pole was reached. He trotted the second quartei better than 32 seconds and reached the half in 1:05 At the three-quarters he was four lengths in the lead but the pace told on him and he made a break froir which he did not recover until all the others hac passed him. Charlie T. reached the wire in 2:15% Cuate was second, Lady Jones third, Wild Bell fourth and Adam G. fifth. The third heat was an exciting one. Zibbell dis played the same tactics as in the previous one, anc took Adam G. to the front at a whirlwind pace as soon as the word was given. He kept the lead until near the three-quarter pole when Adam G. broke, bu1 this time recovered quickly. Charlie T. had assumed the lead however, and a race then began which broughl the crowd to its feet. Gradually Adam G. gained or the leader and had him nearly caught, but the wire was reached with Charlie T.'s head in front and the race and first money were won. The time was 2:15% and the pace at the finish so hot that the Zombrc gelding broke just as he crossed the finish. It was a very close contest. Had Adam G. been steadier the result might have been different, as he seems to have two-minute speed when called upon for a brush. Al. McDonald drove a finely judged race with Charlie T.

This brought a big crowd to the irack and the directors were highly pleased. There jvere races participated in by Indians from Nevada, jironcho busting, etc., in the forenoon, and a program if six running events in the afternoon. Tuesday's program was an excellent one, three har- ness events being on the card, supplemented with the jisual four running races. The day's sport opened vith the Harness Stallion Staie for three-year-old rotters. There were five starters — Ambush by Zolock, 31 Rey by Nushagak, Alto Downs by Iran Alto, Still Setter by Iran Alto, and Vallejo Girl by McKinney. }n his form shown at the previous meetings on the •ircuit Ambush was made a prohibitive favoirte and here was little betting on the result. He won in traight heats, with the Nushagak colt second in all hree, and Alto Downs third. Still Better and Vallejo Jirl got the flag in the first heat. The total value of he stake was $2024, of which Ambush won nrst and ourth money, or a total of $1214; El Rey was award- ed $506 and Alto Downs $303. Fred Chadbourne's John R. Conway was made fav- .rite for the 2:13 class pace, which had five starters. iVfter losing the first heat to Friskarina, the Diablo Itallion went on and won rather handily. Hattie kroner got third money and Argyle fourth. The betting race of the day was the 2:12 class trot, |n which Princess, What Is It, Jupiter B., The Cora- Inonwealth, Pat Rose, H. D.

It took fifteen cores to start the first heat, which went to Princess in 2:15, Jupiter B. second, What Is It third and The Commonwealth fourth. The other three were dis- anced. In hot finishes What Is It won the next two heats dnd the betting switched all around. Under the rule Tupiter B. and The Commonwealth were sent to the itable for not winning a heat in three and Princess ,von handily from the gray gelding, and the Salinas •rowd that had backed the mare heavily got all the money. -The summaries: Trotting.

HARTFORD (Conn.), September o.— Sadie Mac, the avorite in the Charter Oak Stake race at Charter >ak Park to-day, dropped dead in the stretch, at the :nish of the fourth heat of the race, after having een outfooted in the three previous heats. She rup- ured a blood vessel of the lung, according to the ver- ict of a veterinarian. It was evident at the start of the race that Sadie lac was not in good form, but she got a good start ■ ' l the fourth heat, and she led around the quarter Jrn, when the crowd got the impression that she had nally struck her gait and was about to win. The ope was of short duration. She was last into the tretch and as the leaders passed under the wire she taggered and fell dead. The Zombro mare Zephyr won the first and second eats, trotting the opening heat in 2:08 and giving [cKinney's greatest son his first 2:10 performer. The i est two heats were won by Anglola and then the race ent over till Wednesday. There was a crowd of about 5000 at the park, and hlle the weather was fine, the track was slow after le heavy rains of several days. The 2:19 trot went to the favorite, Leonardo, in raight heats. Lady Mowry by Nutwood Wilkes won llrd money in this event. The 2:13 pace was a long drawn out race, requiring seven heats to find the winner. Lady Sealskin was the favorite, but tired after two heats and could not get to the front again, although the last heat was as slow as 2:20. The summaries: Trotting. 2:19 class, purse $1000.

After trotting four heats yesterday Angiola and Zephyr stood even with two heats won by each, and in the betting Angiola was the favorite to win the race. Geers made a strong drive with Zephyr to-day, but the mare had not the speed to overtake Angiola. Zephyr won second money, $2500; Norman B., third, $1500, and Glenwood M„ fourth, $1000. Rain interrupted the racing this afternoon and the last race on the program, the 2:12 trot, was not reached. The rain came about 2:30 o'clock and the track was not sufficiently dried off for racing until 5 o'clock. Soon after the rain stopped A. J. Welch, owner of the track, induced a lot of automobilists to take their machines out on the track. The machines served as road rollers and did good service in getting the track in condition. Deleree was expected to take the Capitol City 2:30 trot, event, which closed in May. Her mile in 2:09% in the 2:30 trot at Readville was Bellemont (3) 3:17 1-2 in Action regarded as putting her ahead of all other horses in the contest. She came in fifth in the first heat, lame from a strained tendon, and was withdrawn. The first heat was won by Miss In Law, but, with Deleree out. Albert C became favorite in the betting, and this confidence was well placed. He took the next three heats without trouble. Most of the men with money to bet could see nothing but Don Carr in the pacing race, and there was little surprise when he won in straight heats. Owyho fought hard, but was outfooted. Four drivers.

I., Sept. 1.— The card al Nmrra- gansett to-day proved an attractive one for 9000 peo- ple who attended the Grand Circuit meeting, having as it did a special match race between Tiverton and Sweet Marie and a free-for-all which brought to- gether the fastest horses in the country. In the match race, although Tiverton opened a slight favorite, there was nothing to it but Sweet Marie. The mare led him around in both heats, and when Tiverton tried to make a race of it down the stretch he broke badly in both heals. The free-for-all went to Nathan Strauss in straight heats. Although John M. opened a slight favorite in the betting, the best that animal could do was third in both heats. Nervola taking second money. In the unfinished 2:25 pace. Col. Kirkpatrick's Albuta, who had taken two heats of the race, won the third and deciding heat. Inter Ocean making an- other bad break that destroyed his chances of win- ning. Choir Boy, the popular choice in the 2:16 class, finished with the tail-enders in both heats, W. J. Lewis winning the event. Boreazelle, the favorite, won the 2.24 trot in straight heats. The California mare Lady Mowry, by Mc- Kinney out of a mare by Nutwood Wilkes, trotted an excellent race and won second money. The final race of the day, the 2:09 trot, was unfinished when dark- ness caused the postponement of the event until to- morrow. In the two heats trotted The Roman took one and Jim Ferry the other.

Sept. 2. — To-day's races at Narragansett close the Grand Circuit meeting here. The card contained three of the fastest races of the meeting, including the unfinished 2:09 trot, 2:06 pace and 2:07 trot, as well as the 2:11 trot and a pacing race. Geers won his first race of the week, defeating The Friend, who was a strong favorite. Geers drove Baron Grattan, and in the first heat The Friend raced the bay gelding off his feet in the stretch. In the second heat The Friend broke in the stretch when abreast of Baron Grattan, and the latter won. Tyson drove poorly in the last heat, and should have won the race, as The Friend had speed and stamina, but Geers caught him napping and nosed him out at the wire. In the 2:09 trot Glenwood M.. the favorite, who dropped two heats yesterday, took the last two heats to-day without difficulty. Robert Mc took the 2:11 trot after dropping the first heat to Robert T.. Hard- wood finishing with the tailenders in both heats. George G., with Geers driving, was favorite in the 2:07 trot, but the best he could do was second, with Wentworth taking the event in straight heats.

The captain has no colts out this year, but is breeding a few at his home at Palo Alto ' that will be starting for the money next year and thereafter. He owns the McKinney stallion TJnamak. one of the handsomest young sons of the champion sire. Unamak is out of a Director mare, a choice combination of the blood of champions. Poor Sadie Mac: ir is a pity some one did not know she was in no condition to race, or she might have been saved. What a great brood mare she would have made. There is talk of a big speed sale at Pleasanton next March. Fred H. Chase & Co. have the matter under consideration with Ed R. Smith, who will act as auctioneer in case the sale is held. It should be a big success. Rex Elees. the famous saddle stallion of Monroe county, Missouri, has been sold by his owner, Mr. Barnard, of Colorado Springs, to an Audrain county man, for $8000. Rex Elees is a son of Rex McDonald, and outsells his illustrious sire by $1500. the price paid for him being the highest ever paid for a Missouri saddle horse. He won the championship stakes at the World's ! i ' has been victor in all the horse shows of recent years west of the river. Rex Blees is now In charge of John T. Hook of Paris.

Secretary "Wilson of the Kentucky Trotting Horse I breeders' Association, has announced the classes for neteen purses to be on the week's program at the fall meeting at Lexington. October 3 to 14. For trotters there are nine purses of the value of $1000 for .lasses from 2: Of; to 2:25, and for pacers ten. ranging from 2:04 to 2: 20l Bellemont, the Zombro filly that won two heats and second money in this year's Occident Stake, got a severe bump when being unloaded from her car at Sacramento. She struck the door with her head, mak- ing quite a wound just between her ears, and trotted her race with a bandage on it. E. K Smathers, Jesse Lewisohn and A. B. Hudson, three of the greatest plungers in America, who have frequently bet from $5000 to $25,000 on a race, have agreed to limit their wagers to $100 hereafter. This move is the result of a recent discussion by these men of chances to win on races. The three were unani- mously of the opinion that betting on race horses was a delusion and a snare and to win a fortune from bookmakers was impossible. The outcome of the dis- cussion was an agreement that $100 should be the limit bet on a single horse hereafter. In order to make the agreement binding and provide a penalty for the one who should break it, it was expressly stipulated that if the agreement was broken the guilty man should pay to each of his fellow plungers a forfeit of $5000. Mr. E. E. Sherwood of San Gabriel writes us that he has just sold his handsome young mare Bessie Barnes by Zombro, dam by Truman, son of Elec- tioneer, to Jackson &. Hall, of Doval. Maine, for the neat sum of $3000. Bessie Barnes is a pacer and very fast. She was a good second in a heat won by Vir- ginia in 2: in at the Los Angeles meeting last July, and at the Fresno meeting, although she did not win the race, got fourth money in the 2:20 class pace and finished third in the fourth and last heat won by Virginia in 2:10%. Truman, sire of her dam, has a record of 2:15&. Her second dam is the great brood- mare Nadine (dam of Botonica 2:09%, etc.) by Wild- idle, third dam Norah by Messenger Duroc, fourth dam Mary Hulse by American Star. Zolock 2:05^4 will make an attempt to lower his record at Sacramento to-day. While the track is not in the condition for a trotter or pacer to show his best speed, still there is a probability that the son of McKinney will be able to shade his record a little as he is in fine fettle. Henry Delaney is to have $500 if he lowers Zolock's record, and Director Geo. W. Kingsbury will give him $100 more if he lowers the State pacing record of 2:03% made by John R Gentry at Los Angeles. A recapitulation of Cresceus' racing career shows that he started in thirty-eight races, of which he won twenty-three, and secured second money in ten others. He started sixty times against time for track records, being successful on forty-seven occasions. His total winnings on the turf amount to nearly $110,000. Cresceus was trained and driven in all of his races by his breeder and owner, George H. Ketcham. The handsome and fast mare Little Babe died at Santa Rosa during the Breeders' Meeting. Little Babe was a very fast trotter but had been unfortunate in her racing career in meeting the best horses in the State. She trotted three heats in 2:15 and better at San Jose in 1904, in the California Stake, but was outside the money at that. She was sired by Bradt- moor and out of a mare by Dawn and was owned by Henry Peters of Dixon, who had refused $2500 for her. Sarah Benton, the dam of Charlie T. 2:14% is also the dam of Eila Madison 2:12% and Lord Kitchener 2:29%, the last named being a full brother to Charlie T. All these trotters were bred and raised by Mr. M. A. Murphy, formerly of Colton, but now of San Francisco. Charlie T. is owned by Mr. John Tread- w-il, the well known capitalist, to whom Mr. Murphy sold him. Zolock will not go East. The only races still open to him were a few $1000 purses and .he expenses of the trip would eai up all the profits even were he to win alt tli-- raees to which he is eligible.

A full sister to The Roman is one of the greatest young prospects in California and looks like 2.10 will be easy for her when she is ready to start. The ribbon parade through the streets of Sacra- mento last Tuesday evening by the members of the men to Driving Club, marshalled by Mr. Frank E. Wright, was a very pretty spectacle.

Cressy* mare Daisy E. in 2:22 in a trial against time just be fore the races began. The first heat trotted on the nej track was won by Billy Julian with Princess Louis ^ in 2:20, and the first mile in 2:10 on this track w-a driven by H. R. Ward, when he won the second hea ft of the 2: iT' pace with Daedalion in that time of There is another lone tree track on the map. Thi State Fair track at Salem, Oregon, has one lorn oak in the center field, the famous Pleasanton tracl is adorned in the same manner, and the new track o the California State Agricultural Society also has * solitary oak in the infield. It is an omen of goot luck. Hetty G. 2:041/4. the wonderful old pacing mare tha was a sensation last season, has been thrown out 0: trotting for the balance of the season, as her trainer Tommy Murphy, found that she was not in form tt race in her class. He says, however, that her racin| days are not over, for he will put her in training agaiz next spring. It is a curious co'incidence that those two greai members of the Mac family, Sadie Mac 2:06)4, trot ting, and Ethel Mac 2.07H, pacing, are both owned by women. The former, as has been frequently stated is the property of Miss K. L. Wilkes of Gait, Ont. while the latter is owned by Mrs. W. H. McCarthy, whose husband trains and drives her. Mack Mack 2:12 wrenched one of his ankles in a stall recently and it is said will not start in any - further races this season, but will be shipped back to California. An Eastern turf journal says: 'The trotting horse men of the United States need a big, brainy man to lead ihem out of the wilderness." And we might add that the trotting horsemen of California are also in need of a man of the same sort who will lead a cru< sade that will have for its object the securing of theii rights. Each one of the four money-winners in the three- year-old trot at Readville last week was a male-line Electioneer. So. also were three of the four money- winners in the two-year-old trot. : .2 I r- ■ I.: ..-■ ■ An effort will be made to place Todd 2:14%, the half-brother of Sadie Mac 2:06Vi. in the 2:10 list at Lexington this fall.

Italia won the Occident Stake 1901, the fastest heat being in 2:23%. 11c- The old Gilroy track has been used during the past few months by quite a number of trainers who are getting their horses ready for the Hollister race meei ing which will open on the 27th inst. Santa Maria will hold a meeting November 6th Ilth with purses ranging from $75 to $250 for name: horses and runners. William Mead is secretary. Entries will close October 23d. Three sires are credited with two new 2:10 perform- ers each this year. Directum 2.05 ^ has Ethel's Pride 2:u7'o and Directum Lass 2:09%. Grattan 2:13 has Nutwood Grattan 2:07U and Clarita W. 2:09%. Way-? land W. 2:12*4 has Bolivar 2:0S% and Nelly R. 2:09%. Directum is the only one with two trotters, one of Grattan's being a pacer, while both of those by Wayland W. are pacers. North Star 2:13% is not only the fastest three-year- old trotting gelding of the year, but he is undoubtedly one of the gamest. He was the contender in every heat of the Occident Stake last Saturday, finished sec- ond in every one of the first three and won the last three on his gameness. A fourth, fifth and sixth heat in 2:15%, 2:17% and 2.18% by a three-year-old shows not only great gameness but wonderful endurance. James W. Marshall's filly, Mona Wilkes 2:11% bS Demonio out of a mare by Nutwood Wilkes, is thi fastest three -year -old pacer of the year. A very a markable incident of the race wherein she took ht_ record is that she won the fifth and deciding heat while hitched to a road cart. After winning the first and second beats in 2:11% and 2:13, in both of which her hocks hit the sulky, she broke in the next two heats and lost them to Mamonio, another daughter of Demonio. in 2:1412 and 2:17. No sulky could be had, and Fred Chadbourne hooked her to a cart. She did not mind the weight and reeled off the fifth heat in* 2: 1 5 %. No gamer filly ever lived. At the recent Pittsburg matinee there was a stun- * ning surprise in the free-for-all trot, in which R. H. j Boggs* chestnut gelding Robin C. beat S. A.

I Casper Redfield in Chicago Horseman. The 2:30 Itandard for trotters was adopted in 1879. Its object Las to separate from the great mass of trotting lorses a few which, by reason of the merit of their lerformances, should be considered standard trotters. I'he total number of horses which had, at that time, rotted a mile in 2:30 or better was about 1000; now is over 20,000, and the number is increasing at the ate of about one thousand per year. Already the st is so great as to be unwieldy. Upon considering the changes which have occurred i the trotting horse during the past century it would eem that we should revise the standard so as to lake its essential principles applicable to all time stead of to one particular date. At the time the tandard was adopted a 2:30 trotter meant a horse f exceptional merit as a performer, but to-day that tandard has lost its former significance, booking ack over the evolution of the horse from the three- linute trotter of a century ago to the two-minute ■otter of to-day, it will be seen that the standard hould be on a sliding scale which bears some re- itionship to the rate which speed is evolved. To laintain the 2:30 standard for all horses of all mes is to not only let into the standard a large umber of mediocre horses of to-day, but to exclude great many horses of exceptional merit which ex- ited at an early date. A record of 2:31 made forty r fifty years ago is more meritorious than a record f 2:10 made to-day, yet we hail the 2:10 trotter as great performer and turn down the ancient 2:31 otter as not being worthy of our consideration.^. To make a sliding scale which will represent actual lerit with a reasonable degree of accuracy, it is ecessary to take into consideration the times at hich horses lived and the extreme speed exhibited y the best horses of those times. In doing this the lclusion of any horse within, or exclusion from, the :andard may be most conveniently determined from ie date when he was foaled. As it is impossible in case of this kind to obtain that degree of accuracy hich will do absolute justice to all horses, and as is impracticable to attempt it by the introduction f fractions, the best method is to group horses by ecades and to vary the standard for each decade. To carry out the idea here suggested I have calcu- ited a sliding-scale standard which comes as near i accuracy as appears practical under the circum- ances. In doing this I have assumed that the 2:30. t the time of its adoption, was very nearly right, lid that it should apply to horses foaled after the eginning of 1870 and before the beginning of 1880. - torn that point I have calculated backward into the irlier dates and forward into the later dates and nd that a variation of Ave seconds in the standard >r each decade gives a reasonable degree of accur- cy. Putting this into a table we have the following: A Standard Trotter is one Foaled Within the Dates Named and Trotting a Mile Within the Time Set Opposite Such Dates. Foaled within years. Trotting a Mile in. 1810 to 1819 3:00 or better. 1S20 to 1829 2.55 or better. 1830 to 1839 2:50 or better. 1S40 to 1849 2:45 or better. 1850 to 1859 2:40 or better. 1860 to 1S69 2:35 or better. 1870 to 1879 2:30 or better. constitute a standard record for horses foaled during the years 1910 to 1919 inclusive. The advantages of such a rule as this will be obvious. Its application will make a definite record which will accurately mark the evolution of the trot- ter, and it would ultimately become of great historic value. It would cut out of the list a large number of horses which are not entitled to recognition at being among the best of their day and generation. At the present time the owners of many horses art content to give them record just inside of 2:30, and the consequence is that in many cases the records do not indicate the capabilities of the horses to which they are attached. With a better standard there would be an incentive to give each horse the best record of which he was capable, and these records would be better indications of merit. The evolution of the trot- ter is undoubted, and a horse foaled after 1900 and incapable of trotting to a record of 2 : 15 or better is not keeping up with the procession. All such should be discarded as not forming part of a breed in which speed is an essential element. :■ ,-: lai 18S0 to 1889.. 1890 to 1899. . 1900 to 1909. . 1910 to 1919.. .2:25 or better. . . . .2:20 or better. . . . .2:15 or better. . . . .2:10 or better. PEDIGREE OF AMBUSH. Ambush, winner of the Harness Stallion Stake, is a grand looking brown colt, whose blood lines are here given, as there is probably not another colt bred like him in America. By a son of McKirmey and out of a mare whose dam was by the same great sire, he is doubtless the only colt ever trained that carries two crosses of the blood of Sweet Marie's sire. A colt by a pacer that has a record of 2:05% and out of a mare sired by a pacer with a record of 2:07 could reasonably be expected to pace, but Ambush is a square trotter and a better gaited one is hard to find. His pedigree tabulated to the fifth cross is as follows: AMIHsH 2:14 1-4 The number of 2:30 trotters in 1870 was 181, which substantially the number of 2.10 trotters which cisted in 1903. This gives a total of 20 seconds in lirty-three years, or one minute in a century. The Insulation here given gives only 50 seconds in a ■ntury or a slight discrimination in favor of present ly performers. A continuation of the same sliding iale for two decades further, however, would prob- >ly bring about a substantial balance. After about '30 or 1940 the amount of variation per decade would we to be rapidly diminished. To continue the same iriation for a century to come would require a horse trot a mile in 20 seconds and a little more would ive him finish the mile before he began. The comparative accuracy of the scale may be seen J comparing it with the fastest performances within fferent decades. The tabular standard speed for the icade from 1840 to 1849 is 2:45. The extreme speed r that decade was 2:28 made by Felham in 1849. he difference between the extreme and the stand- •d is 17 seconds. For the decade 1870 to 1879 the andard is 2:30 and the extreme is 2:12%, made by . Julien in 1S79. The difference here is 17% seconds. >r 1890 to 1899 the standard is 2:20 and the extreme ieed is 2:03%, made by Alix in 1894. Here the dif- rence is 16% seconds. The differences for the in- rmerliate points are also substantially the same nount. It will be a good plan to make the standard in finite relationship to the extreme speed of the fastest »rse, and that is what the proposed standard is. it as it cannot be known in advance what the ex- ;me of any decade will be it can be readily calcu- :ed from the preceding decade. Taken in this way e proposed standard for horses foaled in any decade found to be from eleven to twelve seconds slower an the best record of the preceding decade. A con- nient general rule would be to make the standard, the beginning of each decade, ten seconds slower an the best record made up to that time. Thus, in 10, the best record for the first decade of the pres- t century will be known, and it will then be ample n'e in which to determine what rate of speed shall "1 g a>raz'vmac > a B ?

PORTLAND, Sept. 5. — A big force of carpenters is at work on the sheds for the slock show, on the heel of the peninsula across Guild Lake, at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The framework of the various barns is already completed, and all will be in readi- ness by September 10. As the stock show dales an- September 19 to 29, inclusive, this is ample time. There will be room for 500 head of cattle,- 30(1 hoi ■ 300 sheep, 200 hogs and 150 goals, and thei enough entries to fill every stall. The list of judges has just been given out by M. D. Wisdom, live stock superintendent, who says: "The judges are the most prominent and capable it is pos- sible to secure, each being an expert in his own class. This assures absolutely fair and able judging of every entry." Professors C. F. Curtiss, of Aimes, la., and W. H. Dobson, of Marion, Ohio, have been selected to judge Class A horses, and the other judges so far chosen are: W. O. Cowen of Chicago, and George F. Bel- lows of Marysville, Mo.. Shorthorns; C. A. Spannard, Emporia. Kan., Hereford. Galloway and Poled Angus breeds; Prof. W. J. Carlisle. Fort Collins, Colo.. Jer- seys; Prof. C. S. Plum, Columbus, Ohio, Holsteins; Dwight Lincoln. Milford Center, Ohio, fine wool sheep; G. G. Council, Vandalia, 111., swine. The entry list is now closed, and an inspection of it assures the fulfilment of Mr. Wisdom's early proph- ecy that the stock show would be not only the best ever held in the West, but one of the best ever held anywhere. Stockmen all over the United States have taken a very keen interest in it from the first, and a very large attendance of Western stockmen is ex- pected, as many have postponed their visit to the big fair in order to enable them to be present when the stock show is in progress. Among the more notable entries, mention might be made of Univers, winner of many prizes, a stallion purchased a year ago by Boedigheimer and Yankee, of Salem, Ore., from McLaughlin Bros, of Kansas City for a consideration in the neighborhood of $3,000. Univers won first prize in class, and two medals and two prizes in collection at St. Louis last year. He was foaled May 27. 1900, and on the Continent won a first prize and gold medal at the show of the Societe Hippique Percheronne, in 1903, and first prize in col- lection at the Grand Annual Show of France in the same year. He wras awarded first prize at the In- diana State Fair in 1903. Univers is one of Mc- Laughlin Brothers' finest importations. He is a handsome black stallion and weighs 2,310 pounds. The San Francisco Driving Club, with a bookmak- ing attachment, held a race meeting at Ingleside on Monday afternoon of this week — Labor Day. The results of the harness races wrere as follows: First race, 2:35 class — Won by Monkey in straight heats; time, 2:25%, 2:24. Dan Alden second, Ed- ward third. Second race, free for all — Won by Kitty D, in straight heats; time, 2.20, 2:20%. Harry Hurst and Flora G, alternating second and third. Third race, 2:30 class — Won by Grace McKinney in straight heats; time, 2:28%. 2:31%. Dynamite sec- ond, Lucky Prince third in first, Dick third in second heat. Fifth race. 2:45 class — Won by Joe Mc, first in second and third heats; time. 2:38%, 2:31%. Ed Ray second in second and third, first in first heat; Little Dick third. Sixth race, unfinished— King Cadenza first In first heat; time. 2:23%. Lady Jeffries second, Ring Rose third. Mixer first in second heat, time 2:20; Ring Rose second, Verona third. DREW A TOOMEY SULKY. When Edwin C. won the $5,000 Park Brew Pacing stake at Providence recently, he was hitched to a Toomey low-seat racer sulky made by S. Toomey & Co.. Canal Dover, Ohio. These sulkies are the most popular of any on the market and are being used by the large majority of the best horses on the turf. WESTCHESTER RACING ASSOCIATION. A number of very important stakes for runners will close Friday, Sept. 15th. with clerk of the course, H. G. Crickmore of the Westchester Racing Association, Windsor Arcade, 571 Fifth Avenue, New York.

It is said that the "skindicate" book at Sacramento pays $1000 per day for the privilege, with a proviso that four running races at $250 each are placed on the program each day. Just where the profit to the State Agricultural Society comes in, is one of those things "no fellah can find out," as Dundreary says. The bill which appropriated the money for the new fair grounds expressly required that no betting should be done on the property and no Intoxicating liquors sold. The "skindicate" leased a piece of private prop- erty adjoining the track on the south, built a high board fence around it. and fitted up a bar and pool room. The directors pulled down enough of the fair ground fence to permit free passage to and from this pool room, and rumor has it that $1000 per day is the sum paid Into the fair treasury by the "'skindicate" for this act. There is no other passage from the park except through the regular exit*, and checks are necessary to return through them. 8 &lve gvee&ev emit g^wurtemcut [September », 1906 §£2aS3SstS£33)SSaE3SSaE3t»sSs3; ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

On Sunday and Monday last, and throughout the week, ,t is estimated that at least 70 fish were taken by lifferent anglers. Most of the salmon were caught near the end ot ielvedere island, a few were hooked on the Angel sland side of the straits. One large fish, over 22 .ounds, was caught in the entrance to the Tiburon ierry slip, by Clarence Ashlin, last week. He was rolling from a launch. S. A. Wells, John Fatjo and ''rank Marcus were also in the launch, the party Mounting for seven fish, all of which were taken on No. 6 all silver Wilson spoon. Al Wilson has been ery lucky on recent salmon fishing trips. He landed ve one morning. "Parson" Jackson hooked a 1 New Resort for Black Bass Anglers. j From time to time, the waters of the Sacramento sloughs and overflows above Rio Vista have been mentioned in these columns as affording first class black bass angling. Reports received from individual anglers have been enthusiastic in praise of the sport to be had at various places bettyeen Clarksburg and Rio Vista. The one drawback for the majority of sportsmen and a salient reason why the region is not developed, is that it requires a knowledge of the tule topography and a compass to enable one to get at the places where the fish are to be found. The few local anglers who have been lucky enough to be piloted into the hidden recesses of the district have had the fishing of their lives, for black bass. Some fourteen miles above Rio Vista, via Prospect slough and through tortuous, shallow channels devi- ating therefrom can be found ideal black bass waters. including ence of ladies will surely improve the tone of any form of healthful open-air sport, and therefore sports- men must always strive to make these pastimes worthy in every respect of their attendance. At the recent Northwest Turnament at Portland, four lady shooters were on the firing line. While there is a noticeable attendance of the fair sex at local shoots, with the exception of two or possibly three, Mrs. A. M. Shields and Mrs. J. B. Hauer, tin- indulgence in the sport of trap shooting by the ladies is at present somewhat limited. On the contrary, however, the attractions of upland and marsh are strong enough to induce a large num- ber of ladies to try 16 and 12 bores on both ducks and quail, nor are the skilled riflewnmen wanting who can drop a buck. From present indications, it is safe to say, that the trap shooting boom will be contagious, and we antici- pate seeing a number of ladies at gun club shoots Ponds are there full of aquatic vegetation. the lily pads, which seem to be the chosen habitat of who can and will break targets, next season. the bass. In these far away tule hidden ponds the black bass are to be found in incredible plentitude, fish weighing five and' six pounds are more than numerous. They are a fighting band of scaly rascals, too, they and their congeners big pike, perch, striped bass and other smaller varieties. This immense sec- tion of tule overflowed land, bisected by innumerable creeks and sloughs and dotted with thousands of ponds is a veritable spawning and breeding ground for the fishes. A party of four local anglers landed 182 bass in a morning and evening fishing last Sunday. The killing lure was a "phantom minnow" with treble hooks — this artificial bait was used by the party, because it is in vogue with the natives of that section. AT THE TRAPS. Previous to the invention of flying targets trap shooting could hardly be considered a national sport in the United States. Live bird shooting had a fair number of devotees, it is true, but the events of im- portance in this line could be summed up in a few state tournaments each year and the pigeon matches between experts, with an occasional team race. A glance at the files of any of the sportsmen's journals of twenty-five years ago demonstrates the fact that during the period when inanimate target shooting was just coming itno popularity the scores of both live bird and flying target events were given in minute detail, yet the trap shooting department was The fishing of the district briefly described above is seldom crowded. To report a three or four-day target destined to be possibly the best black bass angling resort on the coast. For the present the "natives," those of them who know the "ins and outs" of the territory, are intensely jealous of the intrusion of outsiders, as they call them, and it is generally with reluctance that a city sportsman can obtain a pilot to the mecca of the black bass angler. But there is one consolation for the rod and line fraternity and that is, now that the veil has been lifted, even for a brief peep in. the promised land will soon be as an open book for anglers and the spirit of unsports- manlike intolerance will be unavailing in keeping sportsmen from enoying the benefits of what the State Fish Commission originally intended for the tournament in similar manner at the present time, when the number of competitors may possibly range from 100 to 200 would fill from six to ten pages, and there would be little, if any, space for any except the leading shoot each week. Now, the problem is to do justice to the multiplicity of trap shooting events, and this can only he done by a system of condensing the scores, so that the news of the week may be placed before the reader in such manner that the department will give him the results in concise rather than cumbersome style. Evenwith this system the trap scores are very much in evidence every week in the year. At the present time the relative importance of live "ommunity at large and paid for — not for the selfish bird and inanimate target shooting is the reverse of benefit of the few, who are blinded by their own ' ingnorance and narrow-mindedness. Trap Shooting for Ladies. Great has been the increase in popularity of such open-air recreations as field and trap shooting for ladies. Those who have once tested the pleasure and benefit to be derived by participating with their hus- bands or brothers in field shooting usually become enthusiastic devotees of the sport, and the same is true of shooting at the traps. As a tonic for the nervous system there is nothing better than the pure air of field and forest, and it would be difficult to find a better incentive than that of following a good brace of dogs Trap shooting, of course, lacks in several respects the exhilaration of shooting in the field, but it is easier to be had in the immediate vicinity of large cities, and— except in chilling winter weather in the jcrorth — is always in season, which cannot be said of game-bird shooting. Therefore, sport at the traps can be highly commended for ladies, and there is cause for rejoicing in the fact that so many of the sex are adding to their health and happiness by participation in this pastime. Referring to the benefit thus derived, Mrs. Maud K. Butler, of Chanute, Kan.— a lady of social and intellectual prominence— re- sponded as follows to a recent letter asking informa- tion regarding her personal experience in this line "of out-of-door sports. "I sincerely wish I felt capable of expressing in such impressive language of how much real pleasure and real physical benefit I have derived from the indulgence that any number of ladies would be in- spired to learn the art of handling a gun. I have been shooting at intervals, few and far between, for several years for the enjoyment, exclusively, and my the condition existing a little more than a quarter of a century ago. Then live bird shooting — mainly wild pigeons — was the principal sport in the line of trap shooting. Now inanimate or flying target shooting is so far in the lead that the distinctive live bird shoots cut but a small figure. This is partly due to the extermination of the wild pigeons and the expense of securing tame pigeons, while inanimate target shooting is easily obtainable in almost any locality, at slight expense. The influence of the sportsmen's press has done much to stimulate the sport of trap shooting, and the Interstate Association, with Elmer E. Shaner as an active, efficient field marshal, has given great impetus to this recreation. There has been almost a phenom- enal increase in the number of gun clubs during the past ten years, and it is believed this development will continue in like ratio for many years to come, as it affords a fair substitute for field shooting, and the gradual decrease in the game bird supply will probably cause a larger proportionate growth of trap shooting. The Vallejo Gun Club blue rock season for this year closed on August 27th with a merchandise shoot. A live bird shoot is scheduled for the near future for the wind-up shoot. The Vallejo club has had an en- thusiastic season at the traps and is in a flourishing condition with a large list of active members on the roll. At the merchandise shoot mentioned the principal winners were: Clarke, Mayfield, O'Hara, Hirschle. Comfort, Burnett and Roney. There was a strong attendance of visiting shooters. The list of prizes was numerous enough to give each one of twenty contestants a prize. The leading scores at 25 targets The regular shoot of the Union Gun Club pro- grammed for September 17th has been postponed until Sunday, September 24th. The club date fell on one of Hi- days of the Interstate shoot. This shoot will be the closing blue rock shoot of the Unions for 1905. -'■'■-- \ wenty trolling boats out.

Sylvester, Dr. 16 10 13 lo— 54 An example to be followed by Coast gun clubs is the career of the. Golden Gate Gun Club for 190o. At the seven monthly shoots of the club this season, $700 was distributed in cash prizes to the members— $100 at each shoot, divided into four $25 purses, one for each class. Th» club still has a creditable balance in treasury for a starter in 1906. The classification system followed this year— divid- ing the shooters into champion, first, second and third classes, it has been demonstrated, was a strong factor towards creating enthusiasm and maintaining the or- ganization's popularity with the shooters as well as arousing general interest in the sport of blue rock trap shooting. Dan Daniels took part in the first day's events at the Interstate Association shoot at Denver, August ■>9th lie broke 181 out of 200, 90.5 per cent., as fol- lows: 15-12, 15-13, 15-12. 15-15. 20-20, 20-20, 15-13, 15-15, 15-14, 15-12, 20-19. 20-1S. Not so bad for an engineer Dan stopped at Denver on his return from a trip further east. His gun, a Greener, broke down on the second day.

C, exchange has the fol- lowing loi al announcement relating to prospects for miing field trials of the British Columbia Field Trial Club: Two of the best-known handlers of dogs on the I '.-ast were in town yesterday and by the time this is read will be on Pitt Meadows working their dogs. Both men are from California and have an interna- tional reputation as trainers. W, B. Coutts is one of the best-known sportsmen in California. He has ten dogs of the bluest of blue bloods with him. Four are Pointers and six English Setters. As it happens four of his string will be en- tered in the Derby and six in the All-Age stake. To put it more -correctly perhaps, it might be said that the dogs are not yet entered but if they turn out as Mr. Coutts hopes they will, he will enter them in that way. The list of dogs and the breeding is enough to make a man who knows a good dog from a mongrel, and who is up in society, get up from his seat and lift his hat. This is Mr. Coutfs string: For All-Age Stake- Mr. J. E. Terry's Kilgarif by Orion, dam Mary Lou: Mr. J. H. Schumacher's Sir Roderick, sire Detroit Joe, dam Dolores: Mr. J. W. Flynn's Sabine's Molly, a Pointer by Toung Rip Rap, dam Mother Sabine; Mr. F. H. Shaw's Countess Lou. by Count's Mark, dam Mary Lou: Messrs. Rose & Christenson's Belfontaine, by Count Whiteside, dam Gracie G. Gladstone. This is the list of the probable All-Age entries with Mr. Coutts. Here are the younger ones which will be put in the Derby: Mr. W. B. Coutts' Pointer Tod Sloan, by Bolin's Duke, dam Sloan's "Whisper. Mr. S. Christenson's Setter Goliath, sire Kilgarif, dam Maggie F. Mr. F. D. Schumacher's Lady Bell, sire Teddy Hunt, dam Jack's Fanshon. Mr. H. Hopkins' Aunt Marie, sire Uncle B.. dam Sport Belle. Mr. J. E Lucas has nine with him Every one of the dogs looks good and fit and from appearances the Vancouver sportsmen will have to go some to carry away the cups. Mr. Lucas has with him five probable entries for the All-Age and four for the Derby. They are: Mr. J. TV. Considine's Policy Girl, sire Dave Earle; dam. Top's Queen. Mr. J. E. Lucas's (agent) Fandango, sire Dr. Dan- iels, dam Fan Go. Mr. J. E. Lucas' (agent) Chiquita, by Dr. Daniels- Fan Go. Mr. J. W. Considine's Roxane, sire Champion Lady's Count Gladstone, dam Jessie Rodfield. Mr. J. E Lucas' (agent) by Ch. Lady's Count Glad- stone, dam Sports' Destiny. The Ingleside grounds are being rapidly arranged for the accommodation of the shooters next week. rrounds will be open for practice shooting on Thur- It Ik proposed to hang up a suitable trophy for a ;.en to all. This will bring a coast team . . inst the Easterners and will settle the ion "How do our shooters compare with the Eastern (racks'." This will be an extra it and a lively one it promises to be. Following the Interstate Association shoot, oi 1Mb there will be a live bird shoot on the in which the Easterners will grass pigeons with the local shooters. The entries we are informed will probably make the show a four-point show. There will be a large- attendance of fanciers from this city at the open air show. A number of recent doggy arrivals will be benched and a surprise or two is expected from the dark 'uns. Field Trials and California Quail. "W. B. Coutts in a recent letter from Vancouver, B. C. to the Sportsman's Review, says: I just arrived in this part of Canada a few days ago to take part in the trials, and where I am located to train, the first game bird I saw was a California quail, on Sula Island, B. C, and I was delighted to see my little friend, the top-not, so far north. I am informed there is quite a few of them showing up along the deltas of the Fraser River. It seems this is about the extreme end of their northern habitat, and the further south one goes they get more numerous. Even south of California, down into New and Old Mexico, they are found in great numbers. We have two species in California — the mountain quail and the valley quail. The mountain birds are slightly the largest, with the prettiest plumage, and are considered the best table bird, but as they inhab:: the mountain mostly in high cover they don't afford very good sport with either Setter or Pointer. The valley birds are — or what is termed the blue quail, or the top-not — perhaps, the second best bird of the quail species in America, next to the Bob White, to give a good sport with dog and gun. So far north as British Columbia the country is too brushy to expect good work with pointing dogs on this bird, but take it in California and south all along the Pacific Slope, this little game bird is found in most all kinds of cover, alders, willow creeks, acres of grain fields, in vineyards, in every little corner, on hill sides, but the best sport is obtained on the deserts owing to the short sage in Southern California and south into the other states. In the winter season they are found in very large bevies, in fact, it may be termed bands of birds, from 100 to 1200 in one band. Such bands as this don't lay good to a dog on first Hush, but after they are flushed out in low sage one can work on them for hours, and get the finest kind of point work and shooting over a good staunch dog. The Pacific Coast field trials are run on such country as 1 mention — large fields with low sage for the birds to hide in. A good dog will, perhaps, have from one to ten or perhaps twelve birds to his point. Many people say after a band of birds are once flushed out and scattered that a dog cannot have a bevy point, but I for one claim that if a dog has four or more birds to his point you cannot call it a single, so what are you going to call it? The valley quail lay good to dogs, give out good nd they are very fast flyers, hard to hit. and are very strong for their size, but it takes a hunter to understand their habits to obtain good sport. Feudner. Bmll Holling and possibly E. E. S Wattles will attend the Medford shoot • , the 22nd and 23rd. Dd tomorrow there will, without doubt, be a big crowd on the Empire grounds. The program i attractive one and the list of mei i, amorous to mention. Major J. M. Taylor left New York last week for Vancouver. B.

MIXED PICKLES. on ;r- Prospects for Trout Fishing in Santa Cruz county in the future are most propitious. Thousands of young fish at the hatchery and not enough help to distribute' them. This is the situation in a nutshell, as de- scribed by Superintendent Shebley of the Brookdale hatchery. Mr. Shebley has twenty-eight tanks of running young steelhead, all ready to be placed iqi the streams of the county. He is anxious to get rid of these fish, so as to make room for the salmon eggs, with which it is proposed to stock the waters of Monterey Bay. and will give fish to anyone who will take the trouble to stock their local streams, Three large outdoor tanks for yearling fish are soo: to be built in the hatchery grounds, so that broi fish can be raised for exhibition and breeding pu: poses. Mr. Shebley is putting in a main entrance to the grounds, opposite the point where the railroad platform, which Mr. Judah has promised, will be built A cupola wrill also be put -on the main building so as to take up the dampness, and other improvements are steadily going forward. There are more young fish in the creeks of Santa Cruz county to-day than have been known for years. This is bringing many anglers to the district and" many visitors to Brookdale and Ben Lomond. The only difficulty is in raising the money to keep the good work going. The Southern Pacific is contribut- ing $100 per month to the hatchery, the Supervisors have appropriated considerable money for the same purpose, but still more money is needed. As. Mr. Shebley said, "There are 300 000 trout in the hatchery today which ought to be in the streams, if we only had the funds." The prospects are good, however, that the county will be able to afford the necessary assistance before very long. Fred H. Pray and Supervisor Ralph Milh of Santa Cruz can truly be called the fathers of t: hatchery. They have solicited private subscription given their own time and money for the purpose ana with Judge Logan, who gave the site, and Superin- tendent Shebley himself, deserve the credit for the fact that Santa Cruz county has, a fish hatchery today. Game Warden Reed has been engaged this week in stocking with fish from the Brookdale hatchery on the west fork of the Soquel creek and Bean creek. About 25,000 were placed in these streams today. Next week he will be engaged in placing trout in Scott's and Waddell creeks. The fish for Scott's will be placed in the stream at the headwaters in the little basin and Waddell's in the big basin. Sempervirsns creek and the stream at the GoveJ nor's camp are also to be stocked. Mr. Reed expects to place some 200,000 fish in these streams next week. This will make fishing in the big basin great sport. The streams in the county that have been stocki are the San Lorenzo river, Soquel creek and the se eral forks and the following creks: Boulder, Bear, Newell, Clara, Love, Zyante, Lampicos, Bean, Soquei, Aptos, Valencia, Corralitos, Brancifort. Waddells, Purdy. Big. Little, Scott's, San Vicente, Liddells, Mora Cojo, Wilders, Meder and Majors. Eel River Fishing was excellent about the middle of August for a report from Eureka states that ang'.ers returning from the river on the 14th of the month were in a happy frame of mind. Everybody reported big catches and the interior of the basktes of a ma- jority showed that they had the goods. Among those who enjoyed a fine day's sport were P. W. Mathews and C. P. Soule. who returned with twenty-five, many of them fine, large steelhead. Dr. E. A. Montague and Attorney W. F. Clybourne landed nine, one being a steelhead weighing ten pounds, while the remainder were half poud trout. The latter were very gamey and furnished much sport. There were many other anglers on the river and only in a few instances were the catches reported to be bad. The San Mateo Kennel Club show opens to-day near San Maleo, at the polo field of Mr. Chas. W. Clark. Attacked by a Couger was the thrilling experience of Hiram Williams of Cummings, Mendocino county, a week ago today, according to a press dispatch. Williams was out deer hunting and while resting at the foot of a rocky butte and intently watching an object farther down the gulch, which appeared to be a buck, he had a very narrow escape from being killed by a mountain lion. Several stones rolling past him finally attracted his attention to things nearer at hand, and. on looking around, he was confronted by a huge cougar or moun- tain lion. On the impulse of the moment he dis- charged his rifle just as the beast sprang at him, out the bullet only wounded the creature. The accuracy of its spring was interrupted, however, and the lion struck just beside him and knocked him over. The animal was on him in a second and a fight for life was begun. Williams, who is a very powerful man. succeeded in holding the infuriated animal at bay until he could reach his rifle, and, pressing the muzzle against its side, succeeded in discharging a shot that put the animal out of business. The lion measured nine feet from tip to tip. This was a most unusual course for the animal to take, for as a rule they are very cowardly and will not molest a man; possibly the big feline, true lo the sneaking instinct of the cat tribe, tried to sialk| him unawares. Good Hunting and Fishing territory can be had in a mountainous zone found in northern Humboldt and southern Mendocino counties. Phil B. Bekeart returned from that particular neck of the woods this Septe.mbei: 1905 J Che gvseiisv ano jfrpactfiwaw 11 week after enjoying an outing trip of ten days will] a party of other sportsmen composed of Life Ball a resident of the district, Bob Kerr, Fred Webster of Albion, Clarence Ward, Jack Baird and Orral Humphrey of San Francisco. Camp was pitched near a place called Harris in a country full of game — bucks in plenty, the mountain quail and grouse shoot- ing, when the season opens, will be as good as any sportsman could desire. In streams within a few miles of camp good catches of nice trout were made time and again. When Mr." Bekeart left, the bag was seven large bucks, and the full limit could have been bagged by the hunters had they been at all over anxious. One big four point buck was sent down to the Family Club in this city. A banquet this evening will be duly celebrated and the buck will be an honored and appreciated visitor at the board. The buck was sent to the club by Bekeart. Ward and Humphrey. Over 200 pounds of venison was jerked and packed up ready for bringing in to the city before Bekeart left. Southern California Garr.e conditions are better right now than during any summer since 1902. j The statement is not made at random, as many such predictions are, but is based upon a painstaking average of the reports brought in by representative and well-posted sportsmen of experience, who are observers of game conditions, and do not think all ;the birds are raising two broods, because they happen to rush a hen quail with young ones in August. Tv» •iver-.is'e hunter is a hopeful sort of cuss, and generally prefers to think the best of the country until confronted with undeniable facts in the form of pocr is^o.c. jl is no. wno.ly reprehensible, either although a failing that frequently corrupts the accuracy of his judgment. Such sportsmen as Charles A. Loud of Encinitas. ''Pop" Stebbins of the Conejo in Ventura county, Gus Knight, Jr., of San Bernardino, Joe Mitchell of Glen Ivy in Riverside county, and Charlie Julian of San Diego are not only qualified to pass upon the state of the game, but equally important, are men who can be reiied upon. When they all agree that there are three young quail this year to one seen at the same time last season, one is willing to believe it, and ready to take the statement at face value. Charlie Loud, who trains dogs, and shoots a great 'deal in season on his place in San Diego county, was .in town last week with most rosy reports of sport- ing prospects that cannot fail to stir the blood of 'the laiest quail hunter. "In my section of the country I am satisfied there are ten young birds for every one that was to be found in August last year," says Mr. Loud. TRADE NOTES. Averages Reported.

At the tournament of the Orange County Gun Club, Middleton, N. Y-, August 15, 16 and 17, Neaf Apgar won the high general average with Peters' factory A New Winchester Rifle. The Winchester Repeating Arms Co. announces through their advertisement a new gun called the Model 1905 self-loading rifle. The new rifle is made in .32 and .35 calibres, the cartridges being of the modern smokeless powder type, and are furnished with either full metal patched or soft point bullets. The ballistic data given in the announcement indi- cates that the new cartridges are desirable both for hunting and target shooting. The operation of this rifle should not be confounded with that of machine guns, which reload and fire to the extent of their magazine's capacity without stopping after the trig- ger is first pulled. In using the Winchester self- loading rifle, it is absolutely necessary to pull the trigger for each shot, which places its operation as completely under the control of the operator as that of any repeating rifle. The self-loading system per- mits rapid shooting with great accuracy, and on ac- count of the ease and novelty of its operation adds much to the pleasure of shooting at either target or game. The Winchester Model 1905 self-loading rifle is made with blued trimmings and a plain walnut stock and forearm not checked. The barrel is round, 22 inches long and is fitted with sporting front and rear sights. Octagon or half-octagon barrels, or bar- rels longer than 22 inches cannot be furnished for this rifle. The stock is 14 inches long and furnished with a rubber butt plate; drop at comb, 1% inches; drop at heel, 2*4 inches; length of gun over all, 40 inches. Fancy walnut stocks and forearms, plain. or fancy walnut pistol grip stocks checked or unchecked, and stocks having special length or drop can be fur- nished for this gun when so ordered at the same prices as for other models IT IS WHAT HE DIGESTS. Writing on the feeding and overfeed- ng of horses. Veterinarian A. S. Alex- ander says: It is perfectly safe to as- ert that thousands of work horses .re injured by kindness. The owner thinks that, because his earn is hard worked, it ought to be ieavily fed, but he forgets that it is tot what the horse eats, but what it igests, that counts. This is especially he case in summer, when there is iuch field work to be done and little ime in which to do it. The horse hurries home, hot and reary, receives all he can "hog" and oes out to the water trough, where e fills up with water and goes on to ork again. First of all, his stomach as not in fit condition for food re- eption. The fatigued, hot, sweaty horse can ot digest food. He needs a rest first nd then a drink of water, which sees through his stomach and stays , i the large intestines. If he eats grain and then drinks ater, the food Is largely washed out y the water and passes to the small ad large intestines in which the food not digested, but decomposes, gives d gas and thus sets up more or less isturbance and distress. In these circumstances a horse Is :>t properly fed with six quarts of oats i nd all the bay he can gobble In the ; lort interim of the noon hour. He as been fed, to be sure, but he has derived little benefit from his food. All the benefit derived comes from the portion of the food digested, and that is very small when there is not sufficient time to masticate properly and then digest normally. In the busy season the work horse should have small amounts of concen- trated, nutritious food, just such an amount as he can masticate and digest. When corn is fed, it adds fuel to the heat of his body and does not supply ihe strength and vigor he most re- quires. That comes from oats, and time is needed for their mastication. Hay is unnecessary and actually in- jurious when fed at noon. It is not digested while the horse is at work. It does not remain in the stomach, but, like water, passes through into the large intestines, where it lies inert or decomposing until a period of rest promotes the normal process of diges- tion. On general principales it will pay to cut in half the ration now being fed to work horses, provided they have but little time to masticate and digest their food. This will be found remedial where horses are evidently panting when at work, or having a tendency to diarrhoea They will do better on less food for the reason that they digest a greater proportion of Its nutrients. Hay In summer time should be fed very early in the morning and again at night, at which time the horse may have alt he wants. Allow the drinking water be- fore meals. LONG POULTRY YARDS. The cheapest way to grow poultry is on pasture, and the most convenient way to supply the pasture is to have a yard long enough to plow. It costs something to fence a yard, but when the fence is once up it lasts for years and the amount of feed that may be grown in such a yard returns an an- nual dividend sufficient to pay big in- terest on the investment. The width of the yard matters lit- tle, only that it costs more to fence the same amount of ground into nar- row yards, but when the work is done i lie long, narrow yards are more satis- factory. Twenty feet wide is sufficient to turn a pair of horses when plowing. Therefore if a poultry yard is 20 feet wide and 300 yards long it may be back furrowed one time and the fur- row turned to the fence the next time. By plowing in September and sow- ing a mixture of wheat and rye it i.- quite possible to have an abundance of pasture during the winter months when snow is not too plentiful. As soon as the ground is dry enough in the spring the yard may be replowed and planted to oats and peas, which will furnish a great deal of feed dur- ing the late spring and eaiiv summer months In June or July the ground i, hi again plowed and planted to rape, several kinds of turnip, millet. buckwheat, cabbage, and kale. Some of this stuff may be fenced off and permitted to make crop for win- ter. The kale Is especially valuable for late fall feeding for frost does not hurt it. For the same reason turnips are very valuable as they furnish greens all winter. It is almost impos- sible to get too many kinds of vegeta- tion in the chicken yard, even weeds are relished and often picked at in preference to the finest clover. The many miserable, little dirty chicken yards seen about the country, should suggest improvements along this line. Hogs are built to root. They get a good share of their living that way. Hogs root where they find something. usually grubs and roots that supply needed elements not found above ground. Hogs grow rapidly and thej need mineral matter as well as flesh and fat building material. If hogs dig up pasture ground it is because they find grubs among the grass roots ; it Is worth something to have them de- stroyed ami the pasture grows bi after the ground has been turned over. The hatch of good butter is o spoiled because it is permitted to stand too long, and because when the butter has come it does not remain long enough in the cold water to harden. The milk cannol be worked out unless* the butter is hard, and too much v will slay In. When greasing a buggy or wa witli an iron spindle, it would he bet- ter i" spindle clean befi applying the oil. 12 mi£ gveetoev cmfc gy; si™ WaylandW.2:12J4 by wi i V7!irke,s: dam Lad5' Mcor »y Grand Moor.

A high class harness race meeting could be given here every year if there were a suitable track to race over, and a good program would draw a large attendance. The sport is as popular as ever but there is no place to race. The new three-quarter track now building in Golden Gate Park will be ideal for amateur events, but of course no regular purse or stake racing will be permitted over it. onus— One Year S3, Six Months SI. 75.

San Francisco, Saturday, September 16, 1905. EVERY ASSOCIATION in California that gives harness meetings in the future should arrange to secure a bonus from the citizens of its town without compromising itself in any manner with those who desire to ignore the laws against gambling. There is no reason on earth why a town should have all sorts of illegal gambling games running during the week a race meeting is held, and associations and horsemen should realize this fact. The gamblers that flock to a town to ply their nefarious trade when a race meet- ing is on, do positive injury and no good to the sport of harness racing. They simply antagonize the re- spectable class of law-abiding citizens, and lead many to entertain the false idea that men who own trotters and pacers are of the same ilk as those who run the games. If a bonus cannot be raised to aid a race meeting without the aid of subscriptions from those who insist on renting their premises to gam- blers, better have no race meetings at all. The breed- ing and racing of harness horses is a legitimate in- dustry, and has occupied the time and attention of many of the leading citizens of the United States. Associations giving harness meetings should be too dignified to acknowledge their dependence on sub- scriptions from those who insist that gambling games must run in spite of the laws against them, and should devise other means to raise the revenue necessary to make their meetings successful. That it can be done is not even doubtful because there are hundreds of harness meetings held in this country every year in towns where the laws against gambling are strictly enforced. Speed contests between horses are noble sport, and they should never be assisted, let alone supported, by the money which any- tin- horn gambler pays for the privilege of running an illegal skin game. NO REVENUE was derived from the betting privi- lege at the State Fair this year, according to a state- ment made by the Sacramento Bee, and which ap- pears on another page in this issue of the Breeder and Sportsman. If this is a fact will the Bee please tell us why a bookmaking firm was permitted to oc- cupy a place adjoining the new track from which no charge was made to enter the grounds. And perhaps the Bee can also explain why from four to seven running races were added to the program every day to which no entrance money was charged. It was common rumor in Sacramento during fair week that the syndicate paid $1000 a day for the exclusive privilege of booking on the races, and that for this amount it required at least four running races to be put on the program It was also rumored that this "contribution" made by the syndicate was in the shape of a purchase of $1000 worth of admission tickets each day, so that while the accounts show no betting privilege was let, the sum probably appears in the ticket sales. MANY SEEM TO BELIEVE that the laws against betting which have been enforced on so many eastern tracks this season, will seriously affect the market for track horses this winter. We think their fears are not well grounded. The enforcement of these "blue laws" will so arouse the horse breeders an.1, owners in the states where they exist, that a com- bined and effective effort will doubtless be made tu repeal the laws or elect men who will repeal them, and. in that case harness racing is very liable to be placed on a better footing than ever. The prices offered and paid for high class horses during the past few weeks does not show any drop in the mar- ket. On the contrary, prices are a little better than they were last year. THE CALIFORNLv STATE FAIR of 1905, which closed last Saturday, was the most successful held in years, and the gate receipts were larger. Had the fair opened on Monday, the 4th, instead of Satur- day, the 2d, the financial success would have been still greater, and had the Directors refused to open the place to a syndicate book the dignity and tone of the exposition would have been much higher. THE PROTEST made by Trainer Chas. Whitehead at the Breeders' meeting at Santa Rosa, against the starting of F. Gommet's colt Prince McKinney, win- ner of the twro-year-old trotting division of the Fu- turity, has been withdrawn and the money paid over. The protest was made on the ground that the start- ing payment was not made in time, although the envelope bore the proper date. THE TULARE FAIR ASSOCIATION announces a good program of purses for trotters and pacers to close October 1st. The Tulare fair is one of the best held in the State and is always well attended. The association has the only kite track on the Coast and fast time can be made over it, as it is kept in excellent condition. See the advertisement in this issue of the purses offered. A BOLT OF LIGHTNING descended on a county fair in Iowa last Thursday, hit the poultry exhibit, killing four people and a thousand chickens. Had it struck the race track instead, killing a few men and hotses, what a wealth of material it would have furnished the preachers for sermons on "The Wrath of God."

Easter Direct, a four-year-old filly bred and still owned by E A. Gammon of Sacramento, paced a wonderful mile in a workout at Columbus, Ohio, on the 1st instant. She is credited with a mile in 2:03?i with the last half in one minute fiat. Easter Direct is by Direct 2:05%, flam Cleo G. by Yosemite. She was given all her early training by Sam H. Hoy of Winters, who is one of the best speed makers and gait educators on this coast. The Eastern papers are all touting Easter Direct as the winner of next vear's Chamber of Commerce Stake at Detroit, and if she keeps her present form she should "win in a walk." WEARS THE TRIPLE CROWN. North Star, the Nutwood Wilkes three-year-old whose picture graces our title page, was bred and is owned by Mr. J. B. Iverson of Salinas, and has the distinction of being the only colt that ever won all three of the trotting classics of California, the Pacific Breeders' Futurity, the Occident Stake, and the Stan- ford Stake, all of which are for three-year-olds. He also won second money in the two-year-old divi- sion of the first' named stake, and his total winnings to date amount to $6507, with three firsts and one second out of a total of four starts. He is without any doubt the greatest three-year-old trotter that has appeared on the California circuit since Zom- bro's day. When North Star was a two-year-old he could not be considered either a good actor or a highly prom- ising youngster, as he was balky and rather frac- tious in his disposition, and was given up and turned out by one trainer as a poor proposition. When Charles Whitehead took him up, however, he man- aged to gain the colt's confidence and soon had him going nicely and willingly, and ready to do his best on all occasions Although Mr. Whitehead had but a few weeks to start him in the two-year-old division of the Breeders' Futurity at San Jose in 1904, the gelding made a fine showing, winning the first heat over a high class field of two-year-olds in 2:24, and being second in the other two heats because he was a big awkward colt that was short of work. This year he was better prepared for his first start, and when the Pacific Breeders' Futurity was trotted at Santa Rosa he won so handily in three straight heats in the fast time of 2:13%, 2:13% and 2:16, that his great merit as a colt trotter was immediately recognized by every horseman who saw him win so impressively. Two weeks elapsed before his next start, which was in the Occident Stake on the opening day of the California State Fair. For three days previous to this ra.ce his trainer, Chas. Whitehead, was very sick and unable to work or drive the gelding. The result wras North Star was a little rank and when the race was started Whitehead, after failing to se- cure another driver, got up behind him, but found it difficult in his weakened condition to hold North Star to his gait during the first three heats. The colt had all his speed, however, and although making disastrous breaks in each of these miles finished a good second every time and in the fourth heat trotted the mile in 2:15%, the fastest heat in the history of he stake, and won handily. The next two heats and the race and first and third money were his. One week later he started in the Stanford Stake. Again was he returned a winner, and although losing the first heat to Athasham by a break, took the next three easily and placing first, third and fourth moneys to the credit of his owner. North Star is a large colt, standing slightly over sixteen hands. He has a most powerful shoulder with great depth through the heart, and his hind quarters are muscular and well developed, although his great development forward would cause an in- experienced person to say he was light behind. He has a tremendous stride, with much action and when at speed his gait is regular as clock work. That he is one of the fastest three-year-olds ever foaled is proven by his two heats in 2.13% in his first race this year. He was in condition to lower this mark at Sacramento had the new track not been so heavy and cuppy as to prevent fast time, but his fourth heat in the Occident in 2:15% is considered by many horsemen as good as 2:11% over a fairly good track. That he has gameness and great endurance was proven in the same race, his sixth heat in 2: ISM: being a wonderful performance under the conditions for any three-year-old. North Star is the greatest money winning three- year-old ever raced in California, is the only colt that ever won all three of the leading three-year-old stakes annually trotted in this state, and has the fastest mile by a three-year-old colt or gelding in the United States to his credit this year. Chas Whitehead considers him the greatest three-year-old he has ever seen and believes he could be fitted for a mile in 2:10 or better on any good track. The breed- ing of North Star was given in tabulated form in these columns two weeks ago and is not necessary to repeat here. Suffice it to say that he represents the Wilkes-Electioneer-Mambrino-Patchen- thorough - Dred cross and comes from a great line of producing sires and producing dams. He should trot in 2:05 or better as an aged horse. "George GV. 2:06% will soon become known as the "bad luck" horse Last season he scratched in his fast record, one day when he was on his good be- havlor and last winter was touted as the equal or Tiverton and Sweet Marie.

I along came Went worth, consid- ered a "has been" (but. oh, he isn't!) by the wise ones, and trimmed him good and plenty in 2:m;'. and 2.08.— Horse Review. o- Jackson's Napa Soda does not tangle the feet Mr. Coyle, one of the star reinsman of the Coal.

THE FACT that the good three-year-old North Star won over $6000 in three race? in California this year goes to show that it is possible for a high trotter to earn a very snug sum for its owner without going out of the State, provided he is entered in the three established stakes whi annual fea- tures of the small circuit of harness racing held in California each summer. As these stakes have given sing young trotters eligible to them a much higher value than they would otherwise have, so will three or four good sized stakes for aged class ers greatly increase their value in the market and also increase the demand for them. It is not every association that can offer large stakes. but there are three or four assoi iations in '"alifornia which can afford to announce early closing stakes for class trotters and pacers that will have a value considerably greater than any given here in recent years. The Breeders' Association has a $2000 stake for 2:24 class trotters and one of $1500 for 2:20 class pacers that could be easily doubled in value without danger of loss, while the Los Angeles Association and the State Fair could give equally as large and prob- ably larger stakes. The objection raised by some as- sociations to the giving of large stakes is that those holding meetings late in the season secure but a few starters and have a large suspension list owing to the fact that a few horses show up at the early meetings that outclass the others and consequently the major- ity of owners refuse to start against them later in the season. This can be easily remedied by the asso- ciations conferring before announcing their programs and making their big stakes for different classes. The association giving the opening meeting should give its leading stakes for the slower classes. The years when the Breeders' Association held its meetings early in the year saw large fields in the stakes for green horses and those of the classes slower than 2.20. The stakes offered by associations coming later in the circuit should be for horses of a faster class, until at the close of the season the fastest horses would be competing for the larger stakes. There has been a pretty gen^^j) complaint in California in recent years that a 2:10 pacer or a 2:15 trotter was compelled to start lor smaller purses than the slower classes were racing for. This is because the largest revenue of every as- sociation giving harness meetings comes from en- trance money, and the stakes for green or slow class horses can be depended upon to furnish the longest list of entries. The $2000 stake of the Breeders' As- sociation does not cost it as much as the average $800 purse, because the number of entries is nearly large enough to make up the full amount of the money offered. This is the case with nearly all the big stakes offered on the Grand Circuit. Horses in training are so numerous in the East that main- as- sociations have an average of thirty or more entries to every race, and when it is understood that sixteen paid up entries pay the entire stake, it is easy to understand the expression that many of the Grand Circuit associations are "on velvet" as soon as their entries are received. California associations cannot arrange their programs on the same plan under which meetings are given in the East. This is a big State. but it is comparatively sparsely inhabited, and our circuit is one of magnificent distances and superlative transportation rates. It is often the case that an owner is required to pay nearly as much to reach a town with his horse as he can earn by winning first money, consequently the meetings where $300 purses are given in this State have very few entries outside their immediate neighborhood. Owing to these long hauls with high freight rates it is impossible to ar- range a circuit of more than a few weeks racing, as but few of our mile tracks are located in cities large enough to give four or five days of racing for purses of upwards of $500 each. Such being the condition of things in California it seems to me that it would be well lor the managers of the different trotting I i California to let the lamp of experience in these matters guide them in the future. All over this country, from Maine to Cali- fornia, harness racing opens in the early summer and . ontinues until the frost or the rain makes the tracks unfit to race over. On the other side of the Missis- sippi there is only one Grand Circuit, and if all the 'ions would de< i - unless they could be members of the big ring there would be mighty little racing. There .ire ;i hundred minor circuits over there — some of them composed entirely of half mile tracks, whi i -• -t purse is over $40<>. These all ;, li rs for tin circuit, however, and on these llttli ich year tie cham- of the big ring the follow!:; Besides this main circuit there should be a half dozen smaller or minor circuits. There is not a town of a thousand inhabitants where a track is located that will not patronize and enjoy a few days" harness racing, if properly conducted, and there is not one but can secure enough entries, if the purses are properly advertised, to insure good contests. Purses or SSOO are ample and a three days' program sufficient at these smaller towns. I know a horseman who. having a lease of a track, gave a three days' meeting one year and came out with quite a neat sum on the right side of his ledger. The next year he gave a four 'lays' meeting and lost as much as he made the year before. He lives in a three-day town and a four-day meeting will not pay there. Theatrical men have solved this question long ago, and any ad- vance agent with experience knows that in the small towns just as much money is taken in at the box office when the show is given for only one night as when given for two, while the expenses are only one- half. Race meetings are much the same, and man- agers must get rid of that old idea that the horsemen must be kept in town a full week for the benefit of the hotel men and merchants. A one-day meeting that is financially and otherwise successful is better for all concerned than an entire' week of racing that leaves a deficit for the management or the citizens to pay out of their pockets. California can profit by a study of the eastern situa- tion. "We .should have a main circuit with such citlea ■ w Hand ing it. The shoul I i as January .

There are amusing incidents connected with cam- paigning a horse even if one doesn't win all the time. My friend Ottinger, President of the American Ticket Brokers' Association, who was once a partner of the lamented Tom Keating during several eastern cam- paigns, has as much fun as the next man out of the sport. Two years ago when George Fox disposed of most of his horses at auction, Ottinger bought Dae- dalion for something like $750. If I remember right it was Ed Lafferty, the well known trainer now in the east with the Butler string, that induced Mr. Ottinger to buy the stallion, and Ed put the horse in training at Pleasanton. Daedalion had a mark of 2:11 at the time, but nearly all the "wise guys" said he was all in and rather smiled when the ticket broker made the high bid for him. Even Lafferty lost faith in the son of Diablo and told me just before he went east that he didn't think Daedalion would do. Ottinger was game, however, and didn't mind spending a little money on the horse if he could win a heat now and then, and gave him to H. R. Ward to train. "Ward started him three times last year, the first time with- out hopples, and he was distanced. He put a new pair of straps on him the next time, but they parted, and again he caught the flag. The third time everything held, however, and he won handily, beat all the crack 2:10 horses and took a record of 2.10. This year his win of the 2:09 pace at the State Fair showed him to be about the best horse in his class on the Coast. He paced the second heat over that new and heavy track right at his record and Ward was just buggy riding. At Santa Rosa he was up against Zolock, and Ottin- ger thinks he might have beaten the son of McKin- ney had the others in the race the speed their trainers claimed. Nearly every one of them claimed his horse could pace one heat in 2:06 and they proposed to hook up with Zolock. one at a time, and make him lower his record. Ottinger thought the combination would win and bet $300 on the field against Zolock. but when the race came off the 2:06 horses failed to show the speed claimed for them and Zolock cake-walked. Dae- dalion can certainly show a mile in 2:06 or 2:07 over a good track and Ottinger is getting lots of inquiries from men who want to buy the horse. One fellow came in the other day and wanted to trade ten thou- sand shares of oil stock at a par value of a dollar a share for the stallion. Ottinger looked at the name of the company, saw that he had never heard of it, be- fore he said: "I don't want to swap horses for oil stock as I have plenty of both, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I've got eleven thousand shares of oil stock that I'll trade for your ten thousand, even though I don't know where the well is. but I wouldn't give Daedalion for both wells'' Another man wrote asking what Ottin- ger would take for the horse, reminding him that he was present when he paid $750 for him. "Why didn't you buy him then?'" said the broker, "you'll never have another chance to get him so cheap.'' Daedalion is. in the opinion of every horseman, fully capable of beating 2:10 three times over any good track, and he is one of the best bred stallions in California. Mr. J. R. Bowles, owner of the McKinney gelding Mack Ma«k 2:12*4 returned to his home in Portland from Die East last week and stated to a representa- tive of the Rural Spirit that Mack Mack is only tem- porally lame and may be able to start at Lexington .j iid Memphis. Mack Mack's lameness was caused by 'lent on the track. Mr. Helman was working him out and turning into the stretch at a 2:12 clip met the track harrow, which t.> avoid running into, lx- pulled Mack Mark suddenly to one Side and wrenched on of his hind ankles, which caused him" i" pull up slightly lame. The horse is fast recover- ing, and will in time be as sound as ever. Will Durfee took Claude Jones' four-year-old Car- lokin 2:20% by McKinney south with him when he i his horses home and will put him in shape for the i:i,es next year. Carlokin made his record ! St Cord slake last year winning the second heat in that time. He also won two heats in the i Slake and divided second and third money Wilkes. He won over $1600 during his old form. H. S. Hogoboom trained and ovi i m is record. DIRECTUM A WONDERFUL SIRE. The Horse Review of last week makes the -following editorial comment: The real sensation of last week's racing was the exceptionally brilliant performance of Ethel's Pride in the $3,000 Ponkapoag purse for 2:14 trotters, at Readville, Mass.. in which she defeated the favorite, Glenwood M. 2: us %, and trotted the second, third and fourth heats in 2:07^, 2:07%, 2:10%. Ethel's Pride is now five years of age. In 1903 she was one of the season's most brilliant three-year-olds, taking a record of 2:13% and winning, among other events, the Review Futurity at Cincinnati. Last year she was not started, and her Readville race was her first public appear- ance this season. In commenting upon it, turf writers have taken occasion to draw renewed attention to this great young mare's dam, Ethelwyn 2:33, the famous matron, by Harold, out of Kathleen, by Pilot Jr. Her record is indeed a remarkable one, as she has produced, beside Ethel's Pride, those two other precocious three- year-old trotting fillies, Impetuous 2.13 and Extasy 2:lliA (the latter with a pacing record of 2:10^ at two years), the swift pacing mare Ecstatic 2:05%, and three other standard trotters. In this connection, how- ever, there is an interesting point that we have not seen mentioned. This is that Little Miss, thorough- bred, by imported Sovereign, the third dam of Ethel's Pride and her noted half-sisters, is also the fourth dam of the famous black thoroughbred race mare Imp, whose record-breaking achievements a few seasons ago, at both long and short distances, won her a place among America's greatest running performers. When running blood is found in the near — or moder- ately near — removes of a fast trotter's pedigree, it will be generally found to have also produced some- thing of equal merit of its own kind. Ethel's Pride is the daughter of a great dam. But do not overlook the fact that she is by a sire that is even greater. Directum 2:05% was one of the most marvelous trotters, while upon the turf, that the world has ever seen. As a sire he has now won equal renown. Last year he placed two of his get — Con- suela S. 2:07% (winner of the $15,000 Massachusetts's race) and Judge Green 2:09 — in the list of 2:10 trot- ters. This year he has duplicated the achievements with Ethel's Pride 2:071*. and Directum Lass 2:09%. Never before have four race-horse trotters by one sire entered the 2:10 list in two successive seasons. There are only four living sires of four or more 2.10 trotters, and these are from two to eleven years older than Directum, who is now but sixteen and has been permanently retired to the stud but seven years. Four years ago, in the fall of 1901, Directum, through the death of his owner, William E. Spier, came to the auction block. AVhen his prospective sale was an- nounced our unprejudiced opinion was asked, by a prospective bidder, as to the merits and value of the horse. We gave it as our conviction that he was destined to be one of the world's greatest trotting sires, and that he was worth any price within reason and the buyer's resources. We do not know how much weight this opinion may have carried with it; but we do know that the gentleman to whom it was expressed bid off Directum at the sale for $12,100, believing that he had secured a rare bargain. The gentleman in question was Mr. Ml. W. Savage, of Min- nesita. We have more than once, since then, con- gratulated him on his purchase. We now renew these congratulations. THE KANSAS BETTING LAW. While the California Legislature will not be in ses- sion this winter, it is more than likely that at the ses- sion of 1906-7 an effort will be made to have some legislation passed by which wagering on the results of races "may be legalized. The Kansas law which has met the approval of horsemen in that State is herewith given that our reader may understand how betting on races is permitted but controlled in the cyclone belt. The law reads as follows.

Wins Free-for-All Trotting Event. Thursday was Governor's Day at the State Fair, and between six and seven thousand people turned out to honor the State's chief executive and see the races. Two harness races were on the card, but the first, the Occident- Stanford Pace, was a walkover for T. "W. Barstow's bay colt Just It by Nearest. This race is for the three-year-olds originally entered in the Oc- cident and Stanford stakes, that take to pacing. Mr. Barstow drove his colt an easy mile in 2:19^. The only other harness event of the day was the 2.18 trot for a purse of $600. C. A. Durfee's little trotter Cuate by McKinney, dam Miss Jessie 2:13% by Gossiper was a big favorite over "Wild Bell, Lady Jones and Hank selling- as a field. Cuate was driven by W. G. Durfee and won three straight heats in the handiest sort of fashion without getting out of his class, every mile being in 2:17%. Hank managed to finish second the first heat, "Wild Bell got the place in the second heat and Lady Jones was next to the win- ner in the third heat. So far as speed is concerned the three field horses were on even terms. Second money went to Wild Bell, third to Lady Jones, and Hank saved his entrance. Six running races com- pleted the day's sport. The summaries of the harness events follow: Occident-Stanford pace, purse $55. Just It, b. g. by Nearest-Babe (T.W.Barstow) .Walkover Time — 2:19^.

The grand stand was not large enough to accommo- date all who wanted seats under its welcome shade on Friday, and the fact was apparent to all that good harness events will draw a crowd. There were three races for harness horses on the program, the Stanford Stake, the 2: IS class pace and the free-for- all trot. For the first named four three-year-old trot- ters appeared to contest for the stake, which had a total value of $1S90, divided into the usual four moneys. North Star, the Nutwood Wilkes gelding that had won both his previous starts this year and proven his speed and gameness, was the favorite at $20, with the field, comprising Athasham, Alto Downs and El Rev, selling for $11. When they got the word the first time North Star went to the front but broke at the half and lost many lengths. Athasham's driver took advantage of North Star's mistake and got a long lead, but when White- head got North Star squared away the crowd had a chance to see what marvelqus speed the Salinas gel- ding has, as he ate up the space rapidly and was only beaten a half length at the wire in 2:20%. Alto Downs was third and El Rey fourth. In the second heat North Star was on his good behavior and trotted the mile in 2:15, a great per- formance for a three-year-old, as the track was nearly if not quite three seconds slow. Athasham was the only one of the other three to beat the flag and he trotted a fast: mile, being timed separately in 2:17. The third and fourth heats went to North Star in the same manner in 2:16 and 2:17, and he was awarded first, third and fourth money, a total of $1417.50. This added to his winnings in the Breeders' Futurity and Occident stakes makes him winner of $6006 this year and he retires an unbeaten three-year-old. In his only start as a two-year-old he won $600. The 2: IS class pace was not a very high class event, though it took five heats to decide it. Elmoriue by Iris, driven by Farmer Bunch, won the first two heats in 2.17 M- arid 2:20, and then Penrose by Fal- rose, driven by Walter Mastin, took the next three in 2:18%, 2:22 and 2:31. Joe Robin was awarded third money, Sweetheart fourth and Clara L. had to be content with fifth and last position in the sum- mary. The announcement that Petigru would not start in the free-for-all trot, and that "Billy" Durfee had very kindly offered to drive Adam G. for Willard Zibbeil gave this race increased interest. Since the entries were first published the horsemen had pre- dicted a great contest in this event, and there was much disagreement as to the probable winner. Dr. Hammond was picked upon by the majority of first choice buyers as the one most likely to win, and they paid $20 each for tickets on him, with all the other good ones, including Charlie T., Adam G., Princess and H. D. B., in the field at $12. It was not Dr. Ham- mond's day, however, for under Will Durfee's cool and able reining Adam G. again showed the form dis- played at Los Angeles when Willard Zibbeil drove him to victory in straight heats. He won the race in one, two, three order, setting the track record at 2:13% in the second heat, and trotting, like the champion which many of the best judges of a trotter believe him to be. His burst of speed is wonderful and a quarter in 30 seconds seems play for him at any time. No better gajted one ever wore harness. The victory of Adam G. in this race was most popular. Durfee declined to accept anything for his services. The fight for second money in this race was quite in- teresting, Mr. J. B. Iverson's good mare Princess finally landing it H. D. B. was third, Charlie T. had to be content with fourth, and the favorite, Dr. Ham- mond, was last in the summary. Four running races completed the program for the day.

Saturday was a gala day in Sacramento. It was Admission Day and the order of Native Sons of the Golden West had chosen the capital city as the scene of their annual parade. Between twenty and thirty thousand visitors were there to witness the big event which was to occupy the forenoon of the day, and as it was 2 o'clock before this feature was over, and the literary exercises filled the pavilion during the afternoon, the crowd that was expected at the track did not" materialize until half the racing pro- gram was over. Tile crowd was so great then, how- ever, that the street car lines were unable to handle it and it was dark when the last of them left the track. The two largest purse races of the meeting were down for decision, and they were won in straight heats. The first was the 2:25 class pace for a purse of $1500. Eight starters were announced, the chest- nut mare Loganette being the favorite at even money against the field, in which were Hattie Croner, Fear- not, Arthur F., Argyle. Miss Winn, Mixer and Eagle Pilot. Hattie Croner was piloted by Farmer Bunch and he took her to the front three times in 2:19%, 2:17i4 and 2:17%. The Farmer received congratula- tions on all sides for his win with the daughter of Bay Bird. She could have paced much faster if necessary. Fearnot got second money, Arthur F. third, and Argyle fourth. There were five starters in the 2:24 class trot, with Oro Belmont selling as favorite. Lady Jones, Sam Bowers, Little Babe and Billy Dooley made up the field. The first heat resulted in one of the closest finishes that has been seen this year. Ora Belmont and Lady Jones passed the grand stand nose and nose, and until the judges announced that Oro Bel- mont had won, only those directly under the wire knew the result. The remaining heats went to the Oro Wilkes horse very handily in slower time. Zolock 2:05*4 then paced an exhibition miles. He was given an enthusiastic reception as he came out for his trial, driven by Henry Delaney. He started away at too fast a gait over such a heavy, slow track and when he reached the half in lj02 those holding watches doubted his ability to lower his record. He reached the three-quarters in 1: 34, but only paced the last quarter in 34 seconds, and the mile was in 2 : OS. The track is reckoned three seconds slow by all horsemen. Six rather ordinary running races were then decided afnd the State Fair races of 1905 were over.

HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 7. — There seldom has been a better day's sport in the history of Charter Oak Park than that offered this afternoon. It was not a good day for favorites, calculations being upset in three ot five races, and in one of the others two heats were won before the favorite came to the front. Remarkably good was the time in the trotting di- vision of the Hartford Futurity for foals of 1902. Bon Voyage, which was the champion two-year-old last year, won it, although The Phantom was favorite. after Miss Wilkes' Katherine L. had been withdrawn. William A. Clark Jr.. son of Senator Clark of Mon- tana, owner of Bon Voyage, was an interested witness of his horse's fine performance. Harrison Wilkes was expected to win the first race of the day. the 2:12 trot, but lie caused his backers much uneasiness in the first two heats. The pacing Charles Warren. Geers was expected i" take the Nutmeg trot with Turley, that horse being a strong favorite in (lie bet- ting, but Kid Shay had it easily from the first and Swift !'.. took second money. De Ryder was substi- tuted by the judges for Hayden behind Roberta before the fifth heat of the 2:12 trot. The change made no difference. Summaries. Trotting-. 2:12 .-lass.

Lizzie G. disap- pointed her backers in the first race, the 2:15 trot, af- ter taking two heats. The third heat was a close fin- ish between the favorite and Jim Fenton and the gen- eral opinion of the grandstand was that Lizzie had won it and the race. The judges announced Fenton as the winner of the heat and that horse then went out and got the next two handily. Mainland was marked to win the 2:10 trot, but Thomas did not appear to drive her out until after Jim Ferry had taken two" heats, and it was then too late. Ferry took the third heat after a sharp struggle with the favorite on the way to the wire. Nathan Straus was favorite in the free-for-all pace and he won rather easily, although Xervolo and John M. gave him a serious argument. Summaries: Trotting, 2:15 class, purse $1000.

September 9. — Three races today ended the Grand Circuit meet at Charter Oak Park, and in two of the three early calculations in the betting were completely upset. With Tiverton drawn, the free-for-all trot went to Sweet Marie without argument, and appar- ently she had lots of speed to spare. George G. and McKinley divided second and third money. There was another surprise in the 2:06 pace, which The Friend was expected to win easily. He sold at $100 to $25 for the field. He had no trouble in taking two heats. In the third he broke, but came into the stretch with a great stride, and King Direct beat him only by a nose. Again in the fourth heat The Friend broke and the race to the wire was between King Direct and Peruna, the last quarter being done in 30 seconds and the last half in 1:02. The Friend was driven hard'to save his distance, and must have gone at a 0:29 clip to have gained on the leaders. In the Gnal heat The Friend broke three times, but even at that was close up with King Direct at ^he finish. Summaries: Pacing, 2:1S .lass, purse $1000. Inter Ocean, br. g. by Williams (M.

The totalisator was used at the San Francisco Driv- ing Club's meeting September 9th and met with great favor. The mutual system of betting is the best ever devised and should be in use on every race track. When there was no other system of betting in Mon- tana but the mutual, racing flourished and was largely attended. When the syndicate book was introduced racing was killed there in a short time. Over $5000 in purses will be offered by the Tulare Fair Association for its meeting in October. McKinney has about seventy standard performers in the list, with a greater proportion of fast ones than any other sire. The Grosse Point race track at Detroit was sold last Monday for $160,000 to foreclose two mortgages held on it. L. A.

The statement made that the Bank of Concord has foreclosed its mortgage on the new fair grounds at Concord needs qualification "While it is true the mortgage has been foreclosed, it was only a process of law to secure a clear deed to the property. Some twelve or fifteen of the citizens of Concord and vicin- ity have put up the money for the indebtedness, and intend spending two or three thousand dollars more on improvements as soon as the necessary time ex- pires after the foreclosure, or sooner if they can rea- sonably secure the right of equity in the property. The Concord track will soon be a popular training ground for horsemen, as it is the intention of the new owners to keep it in first class shape. Hollister's race meeting will open one week from next Wednesday. The Hollister track is in fine shap^ and some good racing should be held. James M. Fletcher of the Dunham.

It was a mare called Black Babe that passed in her cheeks at Santa Rosa. Little Babe, by Bradt- moor, is still in the land of the living, we are pleased to state, and was a starter in the 2:24 class trot on the last day of the State Fair at Sacramento. Bonnalet and Bonnie Mc, both by Bonnie Direct, were starters in the pacing and trotting divisions of the Hartford Futurity, which were decided at the meeting at Charter Oak Park last week and both were so unfortunate as to be distanced the first heat of their races. These three-year-olds have both worked in time as fast as the heats in which they were distanced. An Eastern paper says: Lord Belfast, one of E. D. Jordan's prize winning carriage horses, is pointed out by the secretary of the Hackney Horse Society as being "bred in the best strains of the hackney breed and as near a perfect specimen of the type as exists." Unless M. F. Ware, S. X. Hexter and other horsemen are much mistaken, Lord Belfast is not a hackney at all, but a native American trotting bred horse formerly shown as Adonis and shipped to Eng- land or Ireland, where his breeding as well as his .name seems to have been changed before Mr. Jordan reimported him. The Broncho paced another wonderful race at Gales- burg, Illinois, last Friday. There were four heats in the race and she won the final mile in 2 : 03 %. A break cost her the second heat. The American Sportsman of Cleveland says. "Last winter A. C. Pennock purchased from the Two-Min- ute Stock Farm a pacing filly by Star Pointer, out of Javelin 2:08%. After Mr. Pennock had worked this filly long enough to demonstrate the fact that she had speed she was sold and went into Vance Nuckols' stable. She was worked along nicely and last week she was given a try-out and stepped the track, finish- ing easy in 2:09*4- She is a very handsome, substan- tially-made filly and when matured will no doubt prove to be another sensational performer for Star Pointer." Javelin was bred in California and is by Creole 2:15, dam the great brood mare Flush by Eg- mont, the grandam of that high class two-year-old colt McFadyen by Diablo. A Cleveland, Ohio, paper says: "The trotting mar* Italia by Zombro is proving the confidence of her many friends by demonstrating the fact that she is a race mare of the highest quality. A good many thought that she did not have much class as a race mare after her showing in the M. and M. last year at Detroit. She was not in condition at the time of her start at Detroit and she came back to Cleveland, was turned out and bred to John A McKerron 2:04%. She did not prove to be in foal and late this spring was placed in Doc Tanner's stable. She worked there. being given a gradual preparation, and was sent to Vance Nuckols recently to race over the half-mile tracks. She has shown herself to be a good game race mare and on Tuesday of this week won at Watertown. N. Y, stepping the second heat in 2:14"12. She is well mannered and likes to race. She will join the Grand Circuit later and if she retains her present form will trot in 2:10." Dan Redmond of San Jose writes us that he has sold the McKinney stallion Willeroo 28,021, advertised in the Breeder and Sportsman last month, to Mr. J. G Fancher of Indiana, who shipped him to the Hoosier State on the 3d instant. Willeroo is not only a well bred stallion, but his foals are very promising. He was formerly owned by Mr. Frank H. Burke of this city and showed a very high rate of speed as a colt, but met with an injury to one of his ankles which prevented his racing. "The bay colt, The Jester 2:19?;, a new standard trotter for Slam B 2:11%, son of Stamboul 2:07%, is reported as being an own brother of Swift B 2:12%,. The Jester is owned by J. W Miller of do Springs. Col." — Western Horseman. The man's informant is mistaken. The Jester's dam is by Silver Bow 2:16 and is an own sister to irrow 2.14.

We learn that he was purchased a year or two ago by Mr. McCreery of Burlingame, who docked and took him to England where the horse was sold for a thousand pounds, or about $5000. Talk about the iniquity of pool selling on harness racing! There was more money bet last year on the result of the vote for governor of Massachusetts than has ever been wagered on trotting and pacing races in that state inany one year. There is more money bet in this country on the result of presi- ' dential elections than on harness racing, it has been so from time immemorial and will continue to be so long as governors and presidents are elected. The above is from a Boston exchange, and is all true. The reason there is but little outcry against betting on election results is because they are not ; held every week day. There has never been any particular crusade against betting on trotting races. It is the continuous running meetings that make;* pool rooms on every block and if the runners only held the stage one or two weeks in the year at each track the majority of the anti-betting laws which are among the statutes of po many states would never have been heard of. The beautiful residence and grounds at San Mateo owned by the late Alvinza Hayward have been sold to a syndicate for §225,000 The place contained 110 acres and had one of the finest private mile training tracks in California. The residence will be remod- eled into a hotel and the property cut up into build- ing lots. It looks as though Demonio ZillM, own brother to Diablo 2.091/4, might out sire that great progenitor of extreme speed. There, have been but very few of his get, but they have invariably shown wonderful speed at either pace or trot. The Saisun Republican of last week says: "During the present racing season Mannie Reams, the trainer, has taken Nordwell, a three-year-old colt by Demonio, to the different tracks to keep up his training. The colt has attracted the attention of many of the horsemen. "Will Durfee. Cali- fornia's crack relnsman, being particularly interested. A week ago last Saturday Mr. DtH-fee was given permission to make a test of NordwelTs speed for half a mile, with the result that the distance was covered in the remarkable time of 1:02%, second quarter in 31 seconds and last eighth in 14 1-5 sec- onds. The young horse is very game and his show- ing of speed makes him a great prospect for next season. Nordwell has been in training since April 4th of the present year, this date being the first time he ever set foot on a race track. We have it upon reliable authority that Muzzy has been offered §2000 for Nordwell. The dam of Tiverton 2:04%, the greatest race geld- ing among trotters, is owned at Joplin, Mo., by W. H. Hahnen. This mare, Folly, by Arragon 4696, is also the dam of Miss Leo Rex 2:15%, and Van Hart 2:20%, both trotters. A very handsome brood mare by the Morgan horse Black Ralph 10.6S7, and in foal to Lynwood W. 2:20. is advertised for sale by a Santa Rosa party. She has a very handsome filly by Bynwood W. at foot and the price asked for the mare and foal is very rea- sonable. See advertisement in this issue. The Tuba and Sutter Driving Association has de- cided to hold a three days* race meeting at the Marysville track in October The program will be out soon and a general invitation is extended to all horsemen to enter. It is announced that the next Year Book will con- tain a list of an producing mares, and the old table of 2:30 trotters and 2:2". pacers will be restored. This is the best news that has been given out for some time, and if the announcement proves true the sales of the Year BooIT should double. The Kenney Manufacturing Company at 513 Val- encia street, this city, is the only establishment on this coast that makes a specialty of repairing tubular frame buggies, carts, sulkies and other vehicles. This company is coast agent for the celebrated McMurray Sulky and has sold more of these favorite sulkies on the coast this year than during the entire three years previous. The McMurray is a winner on all circuits. A copy of the prize list, rules and regulations of the Chicago Horse Show has been received. The prizes are very liberal and should attract many en- tries. Trotting bred stallions are given $150 for first, $75 for second and $50 for third in the breeding class and in the racing class the prizes are the same except the second which is $100. The show opens October 23d and continues during the rest of the week. Rain every day during the first half of the week prevented racing at the Syracuse, New York, Grand Circuit meeting. On the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair at Hamline, Dan Patch paced a mile in 1:59%, a splendid performance for the champion, as it was his first time out this year, and the track was not fast. On the same day his son Ed Patch won the 2:30 class pace in 2:12, 2.12% and 2:13. W. R. Janvier of New York has shipped to his friend. Mr. Crommelin. Haarlem. Holland, the richly- bred young mare.

FAMOUS COWS FOR PORTLAND STOCK SHOW. "he greatest amateur event on the trotting track is & race at the annual Inter-City Matinee for the $00 gold cup. It was won this year at Chicago hy the Ftsburg Club's representative, Dr. Strong 2:06, and |j race is described in the American Sportsman as flows: The starters were Dr. Strong, Tom Ax- vrthy, Aerolite and Prince of Orange. Fow Axworthy showed up quite lame and every H'seman who saw him score felt he could not win. Tjere was considerable scoring befoie the go. At the s it Mr. Billings took Prince of Orange out in front, lie handsome trotter moved along with Aerolite to t turn, the mare having the pole, but the Prince tik the track before the quarter was reached. Dr. Song moved up to Aerolite around the" turn, and the Tee were pretty well bunched at the quarter in :33*4. I wn the back stretch the Prince let out a link and hi the track, but going around the upper turn Dr. gong moved past Aerolite and was only a length be- hjd the Billings horse. As they turned into the hne stretch Dr. Strong came along in the middle of 4- track with a powerful stride that even at that Sge made him look like a winner. Mr. Billings Rye a magnificent finish with the Prince of Orange, feging the pole and keeping the horse on his stride, ^t the Prince was tiring, and at the short distance h broke and fell back, enabling Aerolite to slip into sond place, Dr. Strong winning by two lengths, e ed up, in 2:09%. n the second heat Mr. Callery took no chances. 1 sent Dr. Strong to the front on the first turn and lis never headed. Turning into the back stretch Mr. Jies began making a wonderful drive with Tom ■worthy. He quickly passed Aerolite and took after t- pair in front. Dr. Strong was. at the half in l>6%, and at that point Axworthy was at least I lengths behind him. On came Dr. Strong with Boated speed, but in spite of all he could do the Eky roan gelding gained on him. Down the home ■letch it was still Dr. Strong in front and Prince of ( inge second, but beaten. Tom Axworthy was gain- R; all the time, but the distance was too great to K overcome, and the best he could do was to nose I; Prince of Orange for second place, Dr. Strong fcning in hand in 2:09. He trotted the last half in Bi2% and did it easy. Then the Pittsburg Club Bnt wild and Mr. Callery received a great ovation. I. Pickering, the owner of Dr. Strong, was probably t; happiest man.

Pacific Coast Handicap — The Ingleside grounds were for preliminary work on Thursday morning, Among the visiting shooters were: Rollo Heikes, Tom Marshall, Jack Fanning. Chan Powers, D. W. King, Jr., Frank L. Carter, J. Ed. Vaughan, H. C. Hirschy. Billy . Fred Gilbert, C. D. Plank, E. D. Hagerman, Chas. Van Valkenburg. Guy Lovelace. E. H. Bungay and others, besides a large local contingent. Elmer E. Shaner was repeatedly complimented for the thorough preparation and attention to detail by which the grounds were placed in proper condition for the Interstate shoot which began yesterday morn- ing. The outlook for the initial annual tournament is encouraging enough to venture the prophecy that the Coast Handicap under the aegis of the Interstate As- sociation, and immediate auspices of the San Fran- cisco Trap Shooting Association, will be the big and growing yearly blue rock tournament for Pacific Coast sportsmen for a series of years. The sport has had a healthy impetus on the Coast for the past two years and the advent of the Eastern experts in this city and at other points on the Pacific Slope is of a nature to be of invaluable benefit to our shooters. Not that we, for one moment decry the abilities or enthusiasm of Coast sportsmen, but it stands as a reasonable argument that sportsmen who have collectively or individually devoted from ten to twenty-five years' attention to trap shooting; who have taken part in both blue rock and live pigeon shoots all over the United States, under all sorts of conditions of weather and shooting ground arrange- ments— some of the visiting shooters were in the American team when they made the memorable trip through Great Britain several years ago — men who have for years been in the practice of shooting an average of 25,000 loads annually, wrho have made guns, loads, ammunition and in fact every detail per- taining to the sport a close and exhaustive study and application, it is, we repeat, a reasonable argu- ment to advance that something can be learned by association with and also by observation of the experts' work. The visitors are not here on the lines of the com- petition with our shooters at the traps. Notwith- standing this fact is known to the majority of our shooters there is an all round curiosity as to what the Coast leaders, experts and amateurs can do in shooting with the Easterners. On team work we will make the statement, posi- tively, almost, that the Easterners are machine like in the skilled proficiency of their shooting and any or all of the best teams we can put before the bulk- heads wrould be beaten. How much? is a bit prob- lematical, for the Coast can produce a number of high class teams. Individually our shooters can hold some, if not most, of the visitors down to a very close or even favorable margin, .but beyond that, drill and experience would count to a decidedly winning degree. The "office"- will be under the personal charge of Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, who wrill be assisted by a corps of deputies, each having his specified line of duties. Mr Shaner has the deserved reputation of being the premier manager for big tournaments in the United States — or anywhere else for that matter, and this fact promises much for the smooth running of the three days' shoot, a complete report of which will appear in our next issue. South Tacoma Turnament — The fifth monthly tour- nament of the Southwest Washington Gun Club As- sociation took place on the 3rd and 4th of September at South Tacoma on the trap grounds of the South Tacoma Rod and Gun Club. The association includes in its membership the gun clubs of South Tacoma, Chehalis. Aberdeen, Centralia, Montesano, Castle Rock, Olympia, Cosmopolis, Elma, Westport, Hoquiam, Shelton and Gate City. E. W. Cooper, Roy Rowe, L. S. Dahl, B. B. Lips- combe and E. B. Lanning comprised the South Tacoma Club's committee on arrangements. A feature of the tournament was the special arrangements for spec- tators. Awnings were provided, refreshments served at .the grounds and everything possible done for the comfort of those in attendance. The prizes in the tourney included about $150 in money and trophies valued at $200. The best shots of the Puget Sound country were in attendance. Sunday was amateur day, while Monday's events were open to all. Eleven events were on the card for the first day. Events X'o. 6 was a team race at 25 targets, three moneys, and was won by South Tacoma Team No. 1. Shooting against a team of expert marksmen, L. S. Dahl. B. B. Lipscomb and R. V. Rowe carried off the Dupont challenge cup, "Infallible," making a run of 69. This is the second time that this team has v en the cup, the first time being at Olympia. when they made a total score of 67. The three having won the cup twice, will row, according to the rules of the association, keep the medals that go with the event. In addition to the cup and medals, the event gives to the winners the title of being the championship team of Western Washington. In the eyes of the fol- lowers of the traps, this makes it one of the most important events to be contested for at tournaments. The entries and scores were the following. South Tacoma team Xo. 1 — L. S. Dahl, 24; R. . 23: Eagan, 22. Total, 69. Experts — Robertson, 19; Reed, 24; Shelton, Total, 66. South Tacoma team No. 2 — E. W. Cooper, 24; Cooper, 23; E. B. Lanning, IS. Total, 65.

Fleet, 19 each; Buhland, Dahl and Wray, 18 each, were in the money. W. A. Robertson of San Fran- cisco also broke 19 and tied the two high men in the race. E. W. Cooper, one of the oldest members of the South Tacoma Club, won the individual championship, the ninth event, making a run of 25 straight. Cooper also made a run of 52 straight during the day. The high average medal of the club was won again by R. V. Rowe. As it was the sixth time that Rowe has won the medal, it was awarded to him as a permanent prize. B. B. Lipscomb, of Tacoma, was second high gun, Sam Wray of Elma third, D. W. Fleet of Montesano and J. H. Lewis of Elma tied for fourth, L. S. Dahl of Tacoma fifth; Mrs. E. E. Toung of Portland high gun for ladies. On Monday, the second day of the tourney, "Dick" Reed of San Francisco made high expert average for the day; he also made the best continuous run during the shoot, 72 targets. Lipscomb was high amateur gun for the day, 204 out of 225; Wray second, Rowe third, E. B. Lanning and Dahl, both of Tacoma, fourth; J. H. Lewis of Elma fifth, G. E. Stacey sixth, W. A. Robertson of San Francisco was second high expert average. Roscie Shelton was third. Lipscomb, by breaking 34 out of a possible 35, cap- tured the Lafln & Rand Powder Company's handsome cup. The Tacoma shooter did some good work with his gun and displayed an accurate judgment in gaug- ing the angles. Taken as a whole the shoot w-as the most success- ful pulled off in Tacoma to date.

The sixteenth edition of the "Handy Book for Sportsmen," published by the Peters Cartridge Co., and the King1 Powder Co., is now ready for distribu- tion. This booklet includes not only the revised game laws of the several states and territories of the United States and Canada, but also a description of the goods manufactured by the companies named. Trap Shooting Rules and other information of in- terest to sportsmen. In addition to this booklet the Peters Cartridge Co. have published the game laws of the several states in circular form for convenient ref- erence and will be pleased to forward same to any address upon request. Salmon Season Closed. Sunday, the last day of the open season for the taking of salmon in the waters of this state until October 16, was duly observed by a large contingent of salt water angling enthusiasts who were out early and late in launches, yawls, skiffs and a small but choice variety of nondescript home-made mechanical craft. The total take of the day is summed up by "Parson" Jackson as between twenty-five and thirty fine conditioned fish, most of them of good size. The largest salmon, a thirty-six pounder, was taken by Attinger brothers. This catch ties the record for weight, held by Jake Christianson, up to Sunday. While the salmon were liberal in their at- tention to the trolling baits of a number of fisher- men, singular to say, the veteran experts Al Wilson, J. Christianson and "Parson" Jackson were ignored in to to by the quinnat migrants in Raccoon straits — another evidence of the perversity of the fish tribe, a quality that keeps the anglers guessing all the time. The salmon landed were all hooked on the Tiburon side from Belvedere point to Bluff point, but one fish wras observed to be taken in mid-channel and that was captured by Mr. Bouton, a member of the Pacific Striped Bass Club. The number of fish taken by anglers during the last three weeks is computed to have been about 200. Now that the possibilities of good sport are assured in the bay waters, fishing for the royal quinnat sal- mond, it is believed that the game will have many enthusiastic followers during the next open season for salmon — that is, when the fish are running, for it is not anticipated by experienced observers that there will be many fish running after October 15. A matter of much complaint is the carlessness of the power launches in fouling anglers' tackle. A case in point is that of the "hospital" launch, which craft, it is claimed, has deliberately, on more than one occasion, fouled lines and broken away the tackle. There is no reason for this and if the identity of the persons responsible can be ascertained an angler has redress for damages. TRADE NOTES. Peters' Points. At the tournament given by the New London, Ohio, Gun Club, August 31st, Peters shells were very much in evidence. They were used by the majority of the shooters, including Mr. D. D. Gross, winner of the first average, Mr. R. J. Smith, second average, Mr. E. R. Stilson. third average. At Lancaster, Pa., September 2nd, Mr. Neaf Apgar attended the shoot of the Bob White Gun Club, win- ning high average with Peters Factory Loaded Shells. A $450 Winchester Rifle. The . Winchester Repeating Arms Co. has just turned out for Mr. A. A. Busch of St. Louis one of the handsomest weapons ever seen in St. Louis. It was made to the wealthy brewer's special order and cost $450. The rifle is of the 1S86 model, 33. calibre, take down, with half octagon barrel and half maga- zine. The stock is of special imported walnut and most elegantly carved. On the sides of the receiver the engraved background is of grape leaf design and on one side a gold inlaid moose and cow stand forth with true fidelity to detail. On the other side is shown a grizzly bear and a mountain goat, both of gold, inlaid. On the cap of the pistol grip the well- known brewery trade mark in solid gold is placed, while the monogram A. A. B.. in gold, is neatly but prominently shown. Delicate lines of gold and plati- num inlaid trace the entire barrel's length and are also visible on the sides of the receiver. The forearm is elaborately carved, and the forearm tip inlaid with gold scroll work. Mr. Busch makes an annual hunting trip in the old country and on previous journeys his handsome Winchester rifles and shot guns have caused so much admiration, both for their finish and fine shooting qualities, that many have been left with friends by the generous St, Louisan. This new weapon is designed for his personal use and perma- nent possession, and Mr. Busch says under no cir- cumstances will he ever part with it, as he considers it the handsomest rifle in the world.

Indigestion is one of the common dis- met with in the horse. We meet it in two different forms, acute indi- gestion, which is the result of sudden ,..re or less complete cessation 01 the function of digestion, the result. generally of the animal's getting loose g inordinately of grain; . or | is the result of gross violation of some of the foregoing principles. is disease resembles in its symp- toms colic, the treatment being almost exactly the same, and we will consider it under that head. Suffice it to say here, that prevention is much easier than cure. The other form is what is known as chronic indigestion, and is a derange- ment to a greater or less extent of the function of indigestion. In other words, the digestive process is imperfectly carried on. It may be so slight as to be hardlv noticeable, or it may be so severe as to make the animal nearly useless. The disease is caused by vio- lating more or less continuously for some time some or all of the forego- ing principles. The disease is very common. The symptoms— The first symptoms noticed is general unthriftiness. The animal is not "doing well." In order to improve its appearance, more gram is fed. but it does not respond. It loses its spirit, does not drive with old-time freeness, will not stand the hard work, tire and sweats easily. The animal generally has a ravenous appetite, al- though occasionally it will be dainty, but as a general thing it will eat any- thing within reach, frequently showing a desire for dirt, licks stone walls, gnaws the woodwork of the stall, and eats the bedding. There are apt to be frequent attacks of colic, and also more or less bloating after eating. The hair becomes harsh, unduly long, and loses its luster. The skin also becomes harsh, loses its mellowness, and is tightly drawn to the tissues underneath: in other words, the animal is "hide bound." While all these symp- toms may be present in very bad cases, as a general thing only a portion of them will be noticeable in any single individual. The treatment — First obey the proper principles of feeding; feed a balanced ration ; make all changes gradually and do not overfeed. Medicinally we give those drugs which will stimulate the digestive organs to activity. The so- called condition powders are intended for this purpose. A very good mixture is the .following:. Gentian, % pound; bi-carbonate of soda, y2 pound; mix vomica, y. pound; arsenic, 1 drachm. Mix thoroughly. Dose, a tablespoon level full in moistened grain, morning and evening. At noon give the follow- ing mixture: Sulphate of iron, % pound; saltpeter, % pound. Mixed. Dose, a tablespoonful in moistened grain. Continue the use of the medicine for two or three weeks, then withhold for a week, and then give again. Con- tinue in this manner until the animal recovers. In some cases treatment will need to be continued for six months or even longer. These mixtures are available to give to horses in the spring, a few weeks before the hard work commences, es- pecially where the animals have been wintered upon a large amount of roughage, as this line of feeding is very apt to cause more or less indigestion. — George A. Walterman. The skins from which wool is pulled have an important commercial value and it is the aim of pullers, of course, to remove the wool from the pelts by such process as will cause the least impairment possible to the skins. Sheep skins were never so largely used as they are today nor were they ever put to such varied uses. They are util- ized for purposes which render it neces- :uy that they shall be handled so that the surface of the skin shall not be rotted. At present the wool is re- moved from the skin by what is called the depilatory process which does not impair the quality of the skin, years ago flic method of sweating the skin practiced, which practically rotted the wool out. The pelts were hung up in vaults in which the steaming pro- cress was Introduced. The outer sur- face of the skin, in which the wool fibres were imbedded, was thus rotted, rendering the removal of the wool quite easy. This was succeeded by the lime process the application of a mixture of lime and arsenic. The mixture was applied to the outer surface of the pelt with a brush. This was detrimental to the wool and has in turn been super- seded by the depilatory process in which a sulphide solution is used. ©tt£ gSvcciH-r crofc Qpovtsntan [September 16 1 GLANDERS INCURABLE. Glanders occurs generally over the United States. It became very preva- lent during the civil war, and is most common among ranch horses to-day in the West. It occurs in both an acute and chronic form, the former ending with death in a few weeks, the latter covering months and even years. Animals may appear healthy yet be suffering from glanders. In this dis- ease the lungs are the principal seat of the malady, and they may be af- fected long before any outward sign of the disease. Later the glands of the jaw enlarge and the membrane of the nostrils becomes affected and a discharge is commonly thrown off. All cases of chronic discharge are suspi- cious. Small ulcers or boils will ap- pear under or on the skin also. This form is known as farcy. These ulcers often develop into bad sores on the body and hind limbs. The disease is spread by nasal secre- tions on the woodwork of the stables, on posts, water troughs, etc. When on wood will dry and as dust be taken into the lungs and the disease gener- ated. Humans become inoculated through wounds on hands generally. The germs live three to four months. This disease is incurable and should not be treated. It is commonly subject to state supervision, and all cases are promptly killed, serviceable horses be- ing made good by financial recompense from the state. All suspicious cases should be reported to the state veter- inarian.— Dr. Paul Fisher, Ohio State Veterinarian. PHENOL SODIQUE heals CUTS, BURNS and SORES.

They are known as the "poor man's breed." They fatten easily, and the beef is of fine quality. The cows are handsome, small and very gentle. They always become pets, where they are properly used. They are large milkers, when compared with the amount of food they use. The cows average only about 400 pounds in weight. Daedalion 2:10 For Sale. Can Beat His Record Three Times In a Race.

The first three-year-old to trot in standard time was Lady Stout, a daughter of Mam- prino Patchen. She was driven a mile by Dr. Herr it Lexington, October 1st, 1874,- in 2:29. Three years ater Elaine, daughter of Messenger Duroc and Green .Mountain Maid, lowered this record to 2:28, and two (jvears after that Steinway trotted to a race record of 112:25% and was given the title of champion trotter 5f his age. He held the title but a few months, as '.jlewett by Allie West took a record "of 2:23 in Octo- |)ber the same year and wore the crown until 1SS1, t.tvhen the grey gelding Phil Thompson by Red Wilkes |! trotted a mile in 2:21 at Chicago. Hinda Rose, daugh- ter of Electioneer and Beautiful Bells, trotted in 2:20 .it Hartford, October 3d, 1SS3, and a week later set the three-year-old mark a half second faster by a mile in 2:19% at Lexington. Hinda Rose was the jichampion three-year-old for two years, then Patron ■by Pancoast equalled her time in 1SS5. Again two I years elapsed before a three-year-old trotted as fast I and then the crown came to California and was worn by Sable Wilkes, who made his mile in 2TTS "October ■ 9th, 1887, at Bay District track. Another two years l elapsed, but in 18S9 this record was. broken seven i times. Axteil was the first to do the trick by trotting a -mile in 2:15% at Minneapolis, July 2d, which mark llhe reduced to 2:14 flat at Chicago, August 23d. The ■Palo Alto mare Sunol by Electioneer knocked a quar- I ter of a second off this record at Fresno October 4th, l.but again the crown went back to Axteil when the son of William L. trotted his memorable mile iu I 2:12 at Terre Haute, October 11th, and was sold for }$105,000 soon after. At San Francisco November 9th I however, Sunol had another try at the record an 1 1 again was she the champion with a mile in 2:10% to her credit. Three days later Arion, who had trotted la mile in 2:10% as a two-year-old, took a flyer at the three-year-old record and equalled Sunol's time. The I j year ended with the championship at Palo Alto won by two of the farm's products. Then Arion was f;3old to J. Malcolm Forbes of Boston for $125,000, the I highest price ever paid for a trotting horse. All j ;the above records were made to the old fashioned Mgh wheel sulky. In 1S92 the pneumatic tired bike kinade its appearance and on October 17th, 1S93; Fan- tasy started in a field of ten three-year-olds for a 1(5000 purse at Nashville, Tenn. She won the first f neat in 2: 16%, then distance was waived and she trotted the second mile in 2.08%, which is yet the I fastest mile ever trotted by a three-year-old. liberal patronage of all harness horse owners. It is the intention of the Los Angeles Association to give an early spring meeting not later than the first week in June next, thereby giving horsemen intending to race their horses East an opportunity to try them put and win a few dollars before starting. With the last and the first meetings of each year held at Los Angeles that track should be a great place to winter horses, as the climate there has less rainy days dur- ing the winter months than any other place in Cali- fornia. San Bernardino is only fifty miles east of Los Angeles and Santa Ana but thirty miles south, so the shipments will be short and inexpensive. If you desire to race any more this year it would be advisable to ship to Southern California and race at these three meetings, as the purses there are worth going for. The Hanford and Tulare meetings can be taken in on the way down. THE SOUTHERN CIRCUIT, comprising the tracks it San Bernardino, Santa Ana and Los Angeles, an- nounces its program in our advertising pages this week and a perusal of the announcement will show that the purses are most liberal. The San Bernardino neeting opens Thursday, November 9th, and con- :inues three days, the Santa Ana meeting followin y November 15th and continuing the same number of lays. The programs at these two places are almost dentical for class horses. The purses are $600 eacli for 2:12, 2:30, 2:20 and 2:09 pacers, and for 2:14, 3:20 and 2:09 trotters. At Los Angeles the meeting ■vill open Tuesday, November 21st, and last through :he week. $1000 purses are the rule here. For the irotters are the 2:11, 2:17, 2:30. 2:14, 2:24 and 2:00 :Iasses, while the pacers are given .the 2:09, 2:20. 2:12, 2:27 and free-for-all classes. There will be sev- eral cups offered for matinee races at all these meet- ings. The Southern California Circuit deserves the THE PICTURE OF PETIGRU 2:10%, which ap- pears on our front page this week, is from a photo- graph taken at San Jose last spring. After making a season in the stud at San Jose and Los Angeles this year, Petigru was put in training by his owner, W. G. Durfee. and soon showed that he was a faster and better gaited trotter than ever before in his life. Conservative horsemen who saw him work the last half of a 2:15 mile in 1:04% with the last eighth in 14:j seconds, believed he would lower his record three or four seconds this year, but he got cast in a stall at Santa Rosa and wrenched one of his hind legs, so that it swelled to twice its natural size. This of course prevented his starting at Sacramento, where he was entered, but the swelling has now gone down and it is not thought any permanent injury will re- sult. Mr. Durfee deserves more credit for making a good gaited and level headed trotter out of this .horse than any he ever handled. When he took him in a trade in the East in 1901, Petigru was a spoiled horse, and had been given up. by several trainers, including Ed Geers. He would not stick to his gait but bolt and run, the result of bad early training. Durfee has made a model trotter out of him and Petigru was as steady as a clock- in his work this year. It need not surprise anyone if Petigru takes a record of 2:06 or better next season. He is by Kingward, son of Onward, and is out of that great brood mare Lemonade 2:27%, the dam of three trot- ters with records better than 2:12. THE MINNESi >TA STATE LAIR is one worth while This year it broke all its previous records for attend- ance, there being in round numbers 64tf00 admissions recorded on Monday, 48,000 on Tuesday, 47,000 on Wednesday, 35,000 on Thursday a rainy day. 58,000 Friday and 40,000 Saturday, or a total of 290,- 000. The cash surplus at the end of the week was in excess of $50,000. A big harness racing program was given, two $5000 purses being jning up. besides two $2500 purses and ten or twelve $1000 purses. There were big fields and fine racing, although no betting is allowed on the grounds. The biggest at- tendance of the week,. 64,000 on Monday, the opening day. was brought by the attempt of Dan Patch to lower his record of 1:56. Had he accomplished the feat he would have been awarded $10,000. The track was heavy and slow on account of rain, but Dan reeled off a mile in 1:59%. a wonderful performance. The live stock and other exhibits at the fair were large and complete in every way. THE $7000 BREEDERS' FUTURITY for foals of this year has a very healthy look. The stakes closed on the 15th of last October with 3SS mares bred that year nominated at $2, which put §776 into the stake for a starter. On February 1st this year second payment of $5 each was made on 2S6 of these mares, which placed $1430 more to the credit of the stake, and the bank account read $2206. Third payments of $5 each were also due and payable on the first of this month. Payments were made on 224 foals, which puts $1120 more to the account, so that the amount now in the bank to the credit of Pacific Breeders" Futurity No. 5 is $3326, and the foals entered are only just weaned. There will be a $10 payment February 1st on yearlings, and $10 each year thereafter, and if the same proportion of payments are made as have been made in previous stakes, the stake will again, as it did this. year, exceed the amount guar- anteed. The popularity of the Breeders' Futurity does not diminish, and bids fair to increase in popularity until the guaranteed value can be placed at $10,000 or more. It has done more to keep up the interest in horse breeding on this Coast than any other one thing. GOOD HARNESS RACING has been the rule at all the meetings in California this year. Since the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Association took the initiative and prohibited bookmaking at its meetings, other associations have adopted the same rule and the tone of racing has been greatly improved. At Los Angeles. Fresno and Santa Rosa this year auctions and mutuals were the only system of betting per- mitted. At the State Fair there was a syndicate book, but it was very gingerly pa lionized by the harness horsemen. FIVE DAYS RACING at the Tulare Fair this year offers a fine opportunity to those who intend racing on the Southern California Fall Circuit to "stop off at Tulare" and win a few dollars. There are two $500 purses, live $400 purses, and several of less amounts for two and three-year-olds. The Tulare track is one of the fastest in the State, there is al- ways a good attendance and the management is very attentive and obliging to visiting horsemen. The full program of the purses offered will be found in our advertising columns. AN INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION of the resources of the Pacific Slope is what the annual California State Fair should be. The one just closed was a big improvement over many of its predecessors in many ways, but there is yet much room for improvement. The pavilion should be removed fromY the city to the fair grounds and the whole show given in one enclos- ure. Ai\ attendance of at least ten 'thousand every day can be secured under proper management. SANTA MARIA will hold a race meeting November 6th to 11th. and entries close October 23d. The purses range from $75 to $150 and are for trotters, pacers and runners. Send to William Mead, secretary, Santa Maria, for entry blanks. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. JOHN DUNLAP.

WON A $5000 RACE. There was nothing the matter with the bay gelding Bolivar, last week when he started in the $5000 stake at Milwaukee. Bolivar is the horse that Monroe Salis- bury bought at Eureka last winter for James Butler of New Yrork. He had won a race in 2:21 at the Eureka Fair of last year and looked like a prospect. Mr. Salisbury heard about him, took a sea trip and bought him for something like $2000. Bolivar is one of the slickest going pacers that ever left the State and he has been the principal bread winner for the Butler stable this year. While the .other horses were starting on the Grand Circuit during the last part of August. Mr. Butler sent Bolivar and Danube out West where there were several big stokes offered at Ham- line. Milwaukee and other places '-'Danube is the trotter by Direcho that Captain Newton of Los An- geles raised. Danube got second money in the $5000 trot at Hamline and won first mo in a $2500 race the same week. Bolivar won a heat in 2:06% in the 2:13 pacing purse of $5000 and was beaten the other heats by that "phenom." Echo Jn.- but was a good second in the third and fourth heats. Gil Curry took the two horses to Milwaukee last week. Bolivar was entered in the 2:13 pace on the 13th of the month and drew 13th and last position. Curry thought the thirteen hoodoo had struck him sure, especially as Ed Patch, a son of Dan Patch, was in the race. Bolivar was away back in the second tier when they got the word for the first heat, and although Curry did not try very hard he finished sec- ond in 2 0 - ' , . and then went out and won the next three in 2:07%, 2:0$% and 2.11. It was a great day for Bolivar and Curry and trey got an ovation'.

The Alameda race track is getting to be quite a Sunday resort for road drivers, and not a Sunday but one or two match races are trotted or paci I. Considerable money changes hands at times. The roan gelding Leonardo, that is trotting so fast i Grand Circuit, is by Bellini S194, dam Lena Holly 2:18% by Director 2:17, second darn Steinola by Steinway, third dam Phaccola by Silverthreads, fourth dam Minnehaha, the dam of Beautiful Bells. There is no betting at the Minnesota State Fair- but they give two $5 000 purses, one for trotters, the other for pacers, and they offered the owner of Dan Patch $10,000 if his champion pacer would lower his record of 1:56. There were 64,000 people paid to get into the gate the day Dan Patch made the effort. The mile was in 1:59%, the most remarkable mile ever paced by this great horse, as the track was not in the very best of shape and it was only his first start this season. It is announced that Mr. J. B. Haggin will sell all his trotting bred horses in Kentucky. Mr. Haggin has about two hundred head of well bred animals, but has not trained or raced any for years. On Rancho del Paso, near Sacramento, he also breeds quite a number of trotters, and one or two sales are held annually at the ranch, the principal purchasers being liverymen and others who want roadsters. Alta Vela 2.11% by Electioneer is for sale. Thisi stallion will pay for himself in any good horse breed- ing community in three months next spring. He is1 out of a great brood mare and his grandam is also a great brood mare. He is one of the most perfectly gaited trotters living and has never had a fair chance in the stud Apply at this office for price and terms, A yearling by Greco paced a half in 1:36 at the Ferndale fair last week This is the first of Greco's get to start. Greco is by McKinney, dam Aileen 2:26 by Anteeo. second dam Lou Milton the dam of the world's champion trotter. The first annual sale from the celebrated Hum- boldt herd of Shorthorns owned by B. F. Rush and William Pierce of Suisun, will be held at that place October 19th. Elegant catalogues have been issued and can be had by writing to Fred H. Chase & Co, live stock auctioneers, 1732 Market street, San Fran- cisco. Cal. A hot race was trotted; at the Alameda track last Sunday between the mare Twilight by Noonday and a big gelding named Frank by Lvnmont. The gelding wen in straight heats, the best time being 2:22. In the second beat Twil'ght was only beaten bv a neck and the finish brought forth a cheer from the crowd that wMked the echoes The stakes were $500 a side and at least .^ir,00 changed hands on the result. W. H. Raymond, the well known horse breeder of Missoula. Montana, died on the 18th instant, aged 60 years. Mr. Raymond bred the thoroughbred horse Spokane, winner of the Chicago Derby in 1S89. Clarence Mackaye has retired from the running turf for good it is said. He says he is far too busy to de- vote any time to racing as the sport as now con- ducted takes about all a person's time who owns and races a string of horses. George G's new record of 2:05%, made at Syracuse, shows the Homeward gelding has all his speed. Per- haps he will be able to trot two or three heats in that time later on. Audubon Boy's fractional time in his mile in 2:00% at Syracuse last week was :31, 1:00%. '.30, 2:00%. The last half was in'just one minute. .I;u-k McKerron 2:27% as a two-year-old over a half mile track is one of the youngsters sired by John A. McKerron 2:04% that is proving the fact that the Nutwood Wilkes blood breeds on. The Eastern paners all agree that laving up heats is indulged in .iust about as often on the big tracks of the Grand Circuit as on the half m'le rings. "So very much depends upon the style in which it's done." Bonnie Russell 2:10% has been retired for the season and will be treated bv a New York veterinary for ;tn affection of one of the horse's ankles. T. F. Ad kins, the Rochester man who owns Lison- jero 2:08%, has leased from New England parties the h;iv mare Princess Lesa 2:19%, an own sister to Lisonjero, and will race her in his stable the balance Of the season. Princess Lesa is thought to be a jfoocl _■■ in j rospect. Alxnit (he three fastest performers racing this sea- son bv one sire are Locanda 2:03%. Allerson 2:05% and Charley Hayt 2.06%. all sons of Allerton 2:09%, himself once the champion trotting stallion All three Of these horses are in grand form and apparently sun in reduce their records before the season ends. Albuta won a heat and took second money in the $5000 stake for 2:18 class pacers at Columbus. Mr. J. D. Springer has removed his residence from Pleasanton to Los Angeles, and has taken his string of horses with him. Among the horses are Billy Red 2.10. Miss Idaho 2:09%, Argyle, Sonoma Girl and sev- eral others. Mr. Springer has made a host of friends! in Pleasanton who will regret that he and his estim- able family are not longer to be residents of that town Bonalet has redeemed herself. She is the three- year-old pacer by Bonnie Direct 2:05%. out of Roblet 2:12 by Robin, second dam Eveline by Nutwood. She was bred by Mr. W. H. Lumsden of Santa Rosa, who sent her and the trotting three-year-old Bonnie Mc by Bonnie Direct out of Myrtle 2:13% to Ed Benyon to .train for the big stakes they are entered in over East. Benyon started both fillies at Hartford in the divisions of the Hartford Futurity to which they were eligible and both were distanced the first heats of the'r races. On Tuesday of this week Bonalet started in the Kentucky Stock Farm Futurity for three-year- olds pacers at Columbus The only other starter was Miss Adbell, that won the Hartford race, and Bonalet trimmed her nicely. The heats were in 2: 16% and 2: 11%, which shows Bonalet is the high class filly she was supposed to be when she left California. In reply to the talk about a race between Audubon Boy and Dan Patch, Mr. Savage, owner of the last named horse, says that when Audobon Boy shows he is Dan's class he is ready to race for $50,000. Make it $50,001, as we want to get in with you on the bet. Stiletto by Steinway out of Nola by Nutwood, whosc- record is now 2:12%, reduced the record of the Dover, Massachusetts, half mile track, two weeks ago, by pa< tig a mile in, 2:12%. SANSONNETTI II Black Percheroo Stallion In Crouch & Son's Exhibit at California State Fair Gazelle 2:11 by Gossiper is the most distinguished brood mare of the year. Her son. Zolock by Mc- Kinney, has reduced his pacing record to 2:05%, and her daughter, Zephyr by Zombro, has reduced her trotting record to 2:07*, and trotted three heats all in 2:09 or better in a race. Mendolita by Mendocino, dam Edith by George Wilkes, recently won her maiden race over East, taking a record of 2:18% in the third heat. She is an own sister to Idolita 2:00%. Lady Mowry, (he bay mare by McKinney 2:11%, -him by Nutwood Wilkes, owned by Mr. J. C. Mowry Of Alameda county, won third money in the $5000 st;ike won by Advancer at Milwaukee last week. Lady Mowry was second in 2:11%, the fastest heal hi the race. \ protest was made against Ad- Alex. Brown's foal by Nushagak, dam Addie B. by Dex- ter Prince. 1 Alex.

Owyho was bred at Oakwoad Park Stock Farm and is by Owyhee out of Bertha, dam of JDon Derby 2:04%, Diablo 2:09%, etc. Texas Rooker was the winner of the 2:11 pace, one heat of which was- -paced Tuesday. He won in straight order and took a new record of 2:05%, in the second heat. Miss Georgie by McKinney was a starter in this event, but was fifth in the summary. The 2:13 pace went to Jubilee and was also a fast race, the second heat being paced in 2:06%. On Thursday one new world's record was made and two others equaled, while most of the heats were in unusually fast time. ft"ba1 is said to be the best time record that the Grand ("ireuit has ever known was made at Columbus i today, when sixteen heats were trotted and paced to an average of 2:07 11-16. Weiitworth's victory in the 2:06 trot was the sensa- tion. George G. took the first heat, and led past the half in the second. There he broke and Wentworth nosed out Dr. Strong, the favorite. By trotting the second heat in the 2:06 class trot in 2:04% the Philadelphia gelding, Wentworth, now divides the honors with the New York gelding, Tiver- ton 2:04%, as the world's fastest trotting gelding in a race and winner of the fastest second heat ever trotted in a race. Time by quarters, 0:31, 1:01%, 1:32 and 2.04 ' ,. in the 2:06 class pace the Canadian mare, Maud Keswick, won in straight heats, pacing three of the fastest heats ever paced by a mare in the history of i harness turf. She finished in 2:04%, 2:04% and 2:00, total seconds of which foot up to 15% seconds. Edith W. by Ben Lomond Jr. held the previous record for ;i n event made over the Oakley Park track, Cincinnati, on September 26, 1901. Her three heats were In 2:05%, 2:05%, 2:05%, or total of 16 for the three heats. Thus- the new world's cham- pion pacl lowered the former record by an r ol i second per heat.

He trotted a in 33 seconds there one day last week and did it very handily. James Paris Jr. of Sacramento, who went to the province of Alberta, Canada, last spring, returned' this week for a short stay and will remove all his standard bred and draft stock from the Paris Stock;' Farm on the Sacramento river, to the new FariS Stock Farm, which has been established about two miles from the thriving new town of Red Deer irS the province mentioned. Mr. Paris has a fine cola lection of brood mares and will place at the head of* his stud the young stallion Jim Paris by Monbells (son of Mendocino and Beautiful Bells), dam the great brood mare Edith by Geo. Wilkes. Edith is the dam of Idolita 2:09%, Mendolita 2:18%, full brother and sister to Jim Paris. Edith is also the dam of Hummer, sire of Bouncer 2:09 and 27 mor in 2:30. Jim Paris is a two-year-old and a promising young trotter. JJe is one of the best bre colts ever bred at Senator Stanford's Palo Alto Stoi Farm, being a result of the Electioneer- Wilkes ciol_ that is admitted to be the greatest combination of trotting blood yet made by advanced breeders of the American trotter. Mr. Paris says the outlook for the new country in which he has located is very bright. The land is very rich and is being rapidly settled, as high as five carloads of actual settlers having reached Red Deer in one day. A yield of fifty bushels of high class milling wheat to the acre is common and one yield of eighty bushels was reported this year. While the mercury drops to 40 degrees below zero in midwinter sometimes, the country is particularly healthful. Good horses for road and work purposes are in demand, the available supply being most! cayuse ponies. The horses which Mr. Faris will shi to Red Deer will fill about three ears, and will lea- Sacramento early next month. UKIAH WILL HOLD A MEETING. The Agricultural Park Association of Ukiah will' hold a five days' race meeting during the month of October, beginning on the 3d. Everything points tl a very successful meeting, but owing to delays in making arrangements the program will consist chiefly of running events at short distances. However there will be several Sonoma county trotters at the track, among them Robizola, R. W. P., Wilmar, Gertie H., Charley Belden and Grace McKinney. The three first mentioned can step a half mile almost any day in 1:03 and are to start in races of half mile heats, so some very fast trotting may be expected on this halt mile track, which is one of the best on the coast. Ukiah citizens have raised $1300 for purses, but too late to advertise harness purses at a mile, the major- ity of the trotters and pacers having gone south' or been sent home and let up on. Mr. Thos.-Charlton's stallion Dumont S. 2:20, own brother to Sonoma Girl, and Mr. H. B. Smith's fast mare Ayeress, also by Lynwood W.. will take part in the races. Lynwooi W. will have five representatives present during tl meeting, all without records excepting Dumont and they can all step in 2:15 or better. The runnini purses will range from $100 to $160 and be at all di. tances from a quarter of a mile to a mile and affl eighth. L. G. Simmons- is president of the Associa- tion, T. Charlton vice-president, F. G. Albertson sec- retary. Henry Marks treasurer and H. B. Smith super- intendent. The starters in the Kentucky Futurity will probably be made up from the following list: Silver Wings, bay colt by Arion 2:07%, dam Luni by Bow Bells 2:19%; Plyingdotte. bay filly by Bernadotte 2.19%; dam Ruth Ashmoreland by Flying Artillery; Kather- ine L. 2:12%; bay filly by Libert Chimes 2:22%, dam Grismonda by Gregory the Great; Elmford, bay colt by Red Chute 2:24%, dam Laurine by Stamboul; Ro- sa-bel, bay filly by Adbell 2:23, dam Junie Fleet- wood by Simmons 2:28; The Phantom, black colt by Boreal 2.15%, dam Shadow 2:18 by Nighthawk; Miss Adbell. bay filly by Adbell 2:23, dam Emma T. 2:17% by Socrates; Susie N., roan filly by Moko, dam Gypsy Dark by Wiltwood; Evania, brown filly by Clay King, dam Frances Strong by Strong Boy; Bonnie Me, brown filly by Bonnie Direct 2:05%, dam Myrtle 2:13'^ by Anteeo 2:16%; The Minute Man, bay colt by Bingen 2:06%. dam Miss Pratt 2:17 by Heir-at-Law; Governor Crane, bay colt by Bingen 2:06%, dam Now- aday 2:14% by Lookaway; Bon Voyage 2:12% by Ex- pedition 2.15%, dam Bon Mot by Erin. Susie N. 2:09% in the second heat of a race is only a half second behind Fantasy's three-year-old record of 2:0S%. As Susie N. finished strong it is evident that she could easily take the world's record for her age if driven for it. She has fourteen crosses of Hambletonian through his best sons, and there is ■good four-mile thoroughbred blood mixed with it. ■ o DISTEMPER AND ITS CURE.

The New York State Fair held at Syracuse is a member of the Grand Circuit. Its meeting was to. open on Monday. September 11th, but heavy, rain storms prevented and it was Thursday before the track could be used. Nothing daunted, however, the racing began at 10 a. m. each morning, and by Sat- urday at 5 o'clock all the events on the card had been concluded. On Thursday Josie, sister to Billy Red, won third money in the 2:15 pace, and the next race, in which any of the California horses started, was the 2:09 pace, Owyho. Ben F. and Irish representing this State. Owyho and Ben F. divided third and fourth moneys, but Irish was last in the summary. In the $10,000 trot for 2:14 class horses Swift' B. was a starter but did not get any of the dinero. The race went to Ethel's Pride, daughter of the California bred sire Directum 2:05%. Helen Norte, the Oregon mare, won third money, and a son of Stamboul got fourth. In the 2:20 trot the same day the Zombro mare Italia started. She was a bang up second the third heat in 2:12%, but owing to an accident had to be drawn. | No less than eight races were decided on Friday and this is probably the record for one day's harness racing. Twenty thousand people were present. After ;the 2:11 pace, in which the McKinney mare. Miss :Georgie, was a starter, but not in the money, the. Chamber of Commerce S2000 trot was called and the great mare Zephyr by Zombro 2:11 walked away with j it in three straight heats in 2:07%, 2.09 and 2:0S, one 'of the best races that has been trotted this year on i the Grand Circuit. She had behind her such trotters as Mazette, Norman B., Angiola, Direct View, Lis- onjero and others, but won like a very high class mare, and but for a slight rain that fell before the race the time would have been a second faster in all three \ heats. Morone, the black gelding owned by W. A. Clark, Jr., trotted a good race in the 2:17 class. The race was won by Pat T. in heats that ranged from 2:13% to 2:12%. Morone was a good second in the first and last heats and third in the second heat. Miss Kinney, a daughter of McKinney, won third money. The eighth race of the day was the 2:07 trot, with Snyder McGregor. George G., McKinley, Wentworth and Charley Herr as starters. George G. reeled off the first heat in 2:05%, but Snyder McGregor beat , him the next two heats in 2:08% and 2:07%. This is a new record for George G. and within a half sec- i ond of the fastest mile trotted this year. Audobon Boy started against his record of 2:03% during the afternoon and paced a mile in 2:00%. Dur- ing the day twenty-five heats were trotted and paced at an average speed of 2:08%. The meeting closed Saturday with six races on the program. In the consolation of the $10,000 trot, Swift B. got the first heat in 2:12%, but was beaten the other heats by Kid Shea in faster time. Sweet Marie won the free-for-all trot from Dr. Strong in straight heats in 2:06% and 2:05 and seemed ;to do it handily. Admiral Dewey tried to lower his record of 2:06%, but a mile in 2:07% was the best he could do. The summaries of the three days racing follow : Pacing, 2:15 class, purse $2000.

With two of them it is the recurrence of an old trouble which was thought to have been repaired so that the defective point was stronger than heretofore, but it appears that such was the case. The disappointment is great all around, as much was expected of these horses for the remainder of the season. Newark Call: If there is physical weakness in any part of a horse the training necessary to fit him for campaign work will bring it out the same as in an athlete. There have been great disappointments in this respect in all training stables. Weeks of steady, pains-taking work have been expended on a horse, ■only to have him develop some weakness just at the time when he was considered ready for track work. Sometimes the disability is only temporary, but even in that case the animal is thrown out for the season. More often, however, the developed weakness be- comes permanent, and although the horse may be patched up for a time, he breaks down when the strain comes. Times without number has this oc- curred. No amount of veterinary skill could put Star Pointer in condition to campaign again after his race with Joe Patchen, at the Empire track. We could name scores of horses that were permanently retired owing to physical defect at the age when they should have been at the height of their powers. The chain gave way at the weakest link, as is always the case. One of the speediest mares ever owned in this state, and few horses anywhere had ever shown more speed at the trotting gait, went wrong in a hind leg just at the time when her great powers were approaching full development. She was turned out for an entire season, and when taken up again stood training so well that her owner was encouraged to believe that the trouble had been eradicated, but she went down in the second race in which she started, and was never again able to race. This mare was only six years old when she was retired. It is reported that three very speedy horses which have been in training at Waverley have "gone wrong" and will not be raced Spirit of the West. In order to make the breeding industry a success, and make the business profitable a great deal of careful and painstaking work is neces- sary. Profit and success do not obtain without effort an'd hard work of some one. It is easy to depend altogether too much on the other fellow. The division of the work is not always evenly borne by all the parties at interest, yet all are anxious to share enual or more so in the net results. The stallion owner, the breeder, the owner and the man who is entrusted to develop and train are all interested. The transac- tion in too many cases assumes the nature of a game where individual interest overshadows general good. There is a grand difference between joining in a game and being connected with a great enterprise which has for its- purpose the promotion and develop- ment of a great industry, international in extent, profitable to the country and creditable to the men engaged in it. How would it do to turn over a new leaf and all join in a grand movement to aid one another in building up the business? Chicago Horseman: A point well taken by a cor- respondent recently was to the effect that track man- agers are too prone to postpone races on account of bad weather. Of course no one wishes to see a valuable horse injured by racing over a track made unsafe by the rain, but on the other hand it is un- reasonable for owners to expect a parlor track every time their horse is turned for the w*ord. Many a time thousands of spectators have been disappointed because of postponements which were really unneces- sary. It would be better for all concerned, track man- agers, horse owrners and the public, if racing was conducted according to schedule whenever possible. Some horses might not do so well on a sticky, muddy track as on a very hard one, but the owners of good mud horses would not object and the others would have to set it down as one of the fortunes of the sport. And some owners would be surprised to find how well their horses can perform over a muddy track. OAK PARK DRIVING CLUB MATINEE. The Oak Park Driving Club held its first matinee at the new Agricultural Park, Sacramento, last Sun- day, and despite the fact that a brisk north wind was blowing a large crowd assembled and seemed well pleased with the showing made. There were but three events, two trotting and one running race, but the manner in which the sport was conducted showed that the club intends making a success of its new venture. The first race was a trot for horses of the three- minute class, in which the following were entered: Charles Lewis' Prince L.. Ira Woodworth's Baby Knight. Harry Raynsford's Lady Silver Bow, W. A. Gilbert's C. C, Howard Kerr's Twinkle, Clarence Crouch's Maud. This race was best two in three and Prince L. captured the event in straight heats, show- ing speed sufficient to be in faster company. The 2:40 class trot was also a two in three race, and the entries were J. Hudson's Chicken by Knight. J. H. Allen's Bumble Bee by Daedalion, Oscar Wil- bur's Starling by Glen Wilkes, and Geo. Gillespie's Mott by Altamont. After losing the second heat to Starling, Chicken captured the race. Best time 2:50. The third race was a gallop for a quarter of a mile between Hamp Cowles, Automobile and Oscar Gould's Kid. The flag fell to a good start, but Gould's horse became ungovernable and took the fence. Auto- mobile winning in 25% seconds. The club is so well pleased with the success of its first meet that another matinee will in all prob- ability be given on Thanksgiving day. Following are the summaries: Trotting, 3.00 class: Prince L (Lewis) 1 1 Lady Silver Bow (Raynsford) 2 3 Baby Knight •. (Woodworth) 4 2 Twinkle (Kerr) 3 4 C.

VISION SOLD FOR $2000. Mr. Joseph Herrscher. of the Samuel Herscher Company, 521 Market street, has purchased that good and fast race horse Vision 2.09% by Vanquish that has raced so well and so gamely on the California circuit this year. We understand $2000 was the pur- chase price and Mr. Herrscher got a bargain, as Vision is one of* the handsomest pacers and best road- sters ever hitched to a bike or a buggy. DAN PATCH BREAKS TWO RECORDS. At the Allentown. Penn.. half mile track on Thurs- day of this week. Dan Patch broke all half-mile pacing records by a mile in 2:01 to sulky and one in 2:05 to wagon. ©he gveefrev cmh *gnp$xt&tnaxx [September 23, 1906 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL Conducted by J. X. De WITT.

The efforts of the San Fran- Shooting .Association had received the . .rsement of many of our shooters and now that the meeting is a matter of the past, the work spectators, among whom the fiair sex were conspic- uous, both in numbers and enthusiasm. This event was a struggle from start to finish, the latter being somewhat sensational in the final denoue- ment. The 100-target allotment per man was divide 1 in six sections of 15 and 20 targets, and the squads went down the line of traps alternately. One by one the cracks fell by the wayside. Either the IS, 19 or 20 yards was too telling a handicap, or enough tar- gets were slipped to put a favorite out of the run- ning for the cup. When the last squads were finishing a glance over the score sheets showed George Syl- vester (16 yards) to be the high gun, with 97 out of 100 to his credit. There was a chance for one shooter to eventually win out. and that man was the Los Angeleno, R. H. Bungay, who had a score of 77 out is the subject of much favorable Qf SO, with his final string of 20 still to shoot. A straight would tie Sylvester, and the chance to win comment. One of the principal results will be future benefit : from the opportunity of observing and study- ing the management and system in conducting a big shoot. The arrangement of the grounds, trapping, scoring boards, squad hustling— without hustlers, posting re- sults, paying of purses 15 minutes after events were nd the many details connected with a shoot worked smoothly, rapidly and satisfactory for three on the shoot-off was regarded by many as being fa- vorable to the man from the citrus belt. Bungay fin- ished his last 20 at a swinging clip, centering almost every target in a cool and assuring way. Manager Shaner then announced that Sylvester and Bungay would shoot out the tie at 20 targets, 16 yards distance. The two shooters stepped to the score, shook hands and began firing at the clays, Sylvester shooting first. Tlie contestants were keenly watched by a large audience. Sylvester finally won, 17 tar- gets against his opponent's 16, the trophy cup. The purse in the handicap amounted to $S12 50 George Sylvester and R. M. Bungay, 97 each, divided; Del Cooper (18 yards) of Bellingham, Wash., 91 breaks, and Fred Schultz (16 yards) of San Fran- cisco divided third and fourth purse; Ed Schultz (19 yards), A. J. Webb (18 yards), W. H. Varien (IS yards) of Pacific Grove, F. B. Mills (16 yards) of days, in fact was a clock-like working object lesson. and wag distributed among the twelve high guns. The supervising genius of the tournament was Mr. Elmer E. Shaner. to whom is due every praise for the successful running of the meeting Mr. Shaner's management is an evidence of executive abilities of a high order. He had an eye for every detail and a ready ear for everybody, besides which he is the happy possessor of a genial personality that made Santa Ana and H p jaCobsen (15 yards) of San him a host of friends among our sportsmen.

The visitors were popu- lar from the start and are an all round aggregation of good fellows. There was an immediate fraterniza- tion of East and West and a bond of good fellowship cemented that will be lasting. The visitors were ever ready to impart information, make comparisons, in fact go into or take up any phase of the sport, with or for the benefit of the Coast men. Not that our shooters are not up to the times, but it was recognized with a total score of 87 breaks out of 100. Union Gun Club team, E. Holling, E. Klevesahl, Dick Reed, W. J. Iverson and George Sylvester, with S6 breaks, won second money. The Eastern team, Marshall, Crosby, Herschy, Powers and Gilbert, scored but a total of S3 and were beaten by the two local teams. Whilst the attendance was encouraging for the an- nual recurrence of the tournament, still we regret that there was not a larger number of entries. When the that the years of experience in trap shooting, all the story of the snoot is famiiiar t0 tne absentees and year round all over the United States, and elsewhere: as well, would afford practically an encyclopaedia of information that was worthy of consideration. Captain Tom Marshall was introduced to the big audience of Sunday by Clarence A. Haight. Marshall in response spoke eloquently and fittingly for the oc- :ind in turn in an apt and happy manner in- troduced his associates, Crosby. Gilbert. Hirschy, Fanning. Heikes. C. D. Plank, C. M.

The primary inducement, the powerful fostering of the sport on the Coast under the aegis of the Inter- state Association, the added money incentive — for there was more and larger average purses dis- tributed among the shooters at this meeting than at any trap shoot held on the Coast up to date — were two C.

Chico, Wood- land, St Helena, Pinole, Martinez, San Jose, HolKster, Fresno, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Ana, Monterey, Pacific Grove and other points were well represented by skilled shooters. The added money figured up $1500 as follows: $420 the first day. $390 and a trophy cup ($50) the second, and $540 and a trophy cup ($100) the third day. Weather conditions on Friday were foggy but favor- able. The background was good, the targets showing up well against the sky. In the afternoon the weather became chilly and windy, the day's shooting was over before the weather conditions materially interfered with the shooters. On Saturday morning warmth and sunshiny condi- tions made the day comfortable and all that could be desired for trap shooting until a brisk wind sprung up in the afternoon; the breze, however, came too late to do any appreciable damage to scores. Sunday was a warm balmy day in the forenoon and pleasantly warm in the afternoon — for many shooters an ideal day in which to shoot blue rocks. The traps worked well throughout the shoot; at times the squad firing was sensationally rapid. Even at this, many shooters were unconsciously carried along with the swing of affairs and shot faster, if not better, than they ever did before. The birds came SO fast for Gilbert at one spell, that veteran as he is, he slipped 6 out of 15 in the fifth section of the preliminary shoot. A noticeable feature during both handicaps was that the squads were graded — each quintet standing at the same distance peg. This attention to detail made the work of the shooters easy, as against a squad shooing from various marks, according to handicap place, always causing confu- sion, if not worse. As an example of eveness of shooting, is the work of Mr. Heikes. who scored each i 13 out of iso. The ten high general averages shot by trada repre- sentatives were: Crosby 434 out of 450, Gilbert 434, i Heikes 429, Fanning 415, Plank 411, Hirschy 408, Holling 399. Marshall 395, Carter 394, Reed 389. The ten high general amateur averages were: Cooper 40S out of 450, Powers 404, Sylvester 404, M. O. Feudner 403, Nauman 403, Forster 398, E. Schultz . 397.

Carter 90, Marshall S7, Seaver 87. There were nine events on the 15th inst.. in all of which there were better purses than ever before given at a Coast blue rock tournament. In going over the following summaries it will be seen that 13's paid in most instances double, or more, the entrance money. The 12's were in one occasion. The purses in all of the events, other than the two handicaps, were divided on the Rose system, 9-5-2 for 15 target and 12-9-5-2 for 20 target events. In each of the three minor events on the 16th and 17th the purses were as good "as those distributed the first day. as follows: September 15th — Event 1. 15 targets, $40 added, $1.50 entrance, 15's paid $7.50, 14's $3.90, 13's $1.55.

All events were at unknown angles, targets were thrown about 50 yards, five men up, three traps — Sergeant system. The handicapping committee was composed of M. J. Iverson of San Francisco. W. H. Varien, Pacific Grove; Guy Lovelace, Los Angeles; M. Abrahams, Portland, and F. K. McBroom. That the work of the committee was acurate will be discerned readily upon perusal of the scores. Other and interesting data in connection with the tournament may be found in communications which appear under the head of "Trade Notes." Manufacturers' agents, paid representatives, etc, shot in all of the events for targets only. The indi- vidual scores and handicaps for the three days are given on another page of this issue.

It was the same old story told over again at the First Interstate Association's Pacific Coast Handicai target tournament, which was held at Ingleside, Sai Francisco, on the 15th, 16th and 17th inst. The shooter? of the time-tried and reliable Winchester "Leader"- shells carried off the honors of the shoot. The world"! champion target shots, Messrs. W. R. Crosby ant Fred Gilbert, two men that are in a class all hj themselves when it comes to smashing inanimat* targets. and men who always shoot the Winchestei "Leader" shells, demonstrated the reliability and uni- formity of these shells to the utmost satisfaction o: every person that saw them shoot. The high exper average of the first day was made by Mr. Crosby score 14S out of the possible 150. The second higl expert average was captured by Mr. Gilbert, scow 146 out of the possible 150. The longest straight rui on the first day was made by Mr. Crosby, who fin- ished the program events with an unfinished run o 123. which run he continued on the second day unti he had scored 157 straight, which now stands as thi Pacific Coast record for a straight run. The higl expert average for the second day was also capturec by Mr. Crosby, score 145 out of the possible 150. Mr Gilbert finished second with a score of 143 out of nil alloted 150. making a run of 142 straight, which ii now the second best run of consecutive breaks. Thi former coast record for a run was held by Mr. Ed Schultz, 115 straight. The high expert average fD] the closing day of the tournament was captured Trj Mr. Gilbert, score 145 out of the possible 150. TKf high expert average for the entire tournament wai tied for between Mr. Crosby and Mr. Gilbert on thi score of 434 out of the 450 shot at. The Preliminary Handicap shot for on the 16th was won by Mr. C. j^ Hagerman of Los Angeles with the score of 93 breaki out of the 100 shot at in this event. The best scon in the event was 97 out of the 100 and was madi by Mr. Crosby, but the event being open to amateur only, Mr Crosby's score was in glory only. The mail event of the tournament, the Pacific Coast Handicap was tied for between Mr. R. Bungay of Los Angele; and Mr. Geo. Sylvester of San Francisco on the spleh did score of 97 out of the 100 shot at in this event In the shoot-off for the handsome trophy, the firs Inerstate Association trophy ever shot for on thi: coast, Mr. Sylvester, shooting "Winchester "Leader' shells, outshot Mr. Bungay and was thus awardei the much coveted prize. The highest score in th event was made by Mr. Gilbert, 9S out of the 100, the handicap heing for amateurs only. Mr. Giltie: score, like Mr. Crosby's of the previous day, was glory only. The high amateur average of the en tournament was captured by Mr Dell Cooper of lingham. Washington, with a Winchester "pu] gun. Thus it will be seen that the shooters tna used the products of the Winchester Repeating Arm Co covered themselves with glory and did the bes shooting of the tournament. Of the famous Eastern team of crack shots tha was in attendance at this tournament, nine in num ber, Messrs. W. R. Crosby. H. C. Hirschy, Fred. Gil ber, Chas. D. Plank, Jack Fanning, C.

The Pacific Coast meet of the Interstate Associatio of Trap Shooters held at Ingleside. Sept. loth, 16t and 17th, was the most noteworthy event in blue roc.{ shooting ever held on the Pacific Coast. It wa marked by machine like methods, it was conducte. in a thoroughly business like manner and will be great educator to all trap shooters, and unquestion ably will prove to have lasting and beneficial effect upon this great and clean out-of-door sport on tb Pacific Coast. Mr Elmer E. Shaner. both by natural gifts an experience, is an ideal conductor for such events, on in which a man must have rare tact and firmnes in order to avoid friction. These gifts are notabl Mr. Shaner's. Mr. Shaner was ably assisted by M H. C. Hirschy, a man of experience in all cleric: details necessary to a successful outcome. Space doe] not permit of the individual mention of the entir] list of shooters making fine scores. The winner the Preliminary Handicap was Mr. C. D. Hagermalj* of Los Angeles. Cal , who shot in magnificent fornw breaking 93 out of 100 targets. He was closely fol lowed by W. H. Varien. "breaking 92. by E. KlevesalW with 91 breaks. M. O. Feudner 91. C. Carr with 90. ij All the above shooters were users of U. M. C. amjl munition exclusively. This evidence of reliability an| perfection should convince any "doubting Thomasl in the shooting brotherhood of the quality and valut of the famous U. M. C. ammunition. On the following day the important event was thi contest for the Pacific Coast Handicap, the cup give- by the Association. Mr. Geo. Sylvester of San Fran* Cisco, and Mr. R. H. Bungay of Los Angeles tied if tins event with 97 breaks each out of 100. Both use exclusively I'. M. C. "Acme" shells. In the shoot-o at 20 birds. Mr. Sylvester was the successful con testant with 17 breaks, Mr. Bungay losing by on bird. an: -ic: 10( L til ,-• nai SEPTEMBER 23 1905] ffltte gJxreeoer an& gippvtemcm 11 In this last shoot at twenty targets, Mr. Bungay used U. M. C. ammunition exclusively. Mr. Bungay's performance was a remarkable exhibition of nerve and steadiness, from the fact that in the 100 bird event it was necessary to make a final 20 straight to tie Mr. Sylvester's score, which he accomplished. At the finish of this game race, spontaneous applause greeted Mr. Bungay. In this same evnt shooters making an average of 90 per cent or over, were Fred Schultz. 91 per cent; A. J. Webb, 90 per cent; E. Schultz, 90 per cent: W. H. Varien, 90 per cent; and H. B. Jacob- sen, 90 per cent: all amateurs and all without a single ^exception, using exclusively and solely U. M. C. am- munition. Among the list of amateurs breaking 90 per cent ,Dr over, there were but two exceptions to this splen- did record for the U. M. C. products, and even in one of these U- M. C. shells were used, with the exception >f 25 shells. On this final day there were in various events entries to the number of 102, and of this number, 81 ,vere urers of IT. M. C. "Magic," "Acme," "Monarch" ind "Majestic" shells, exclusively. A conclusion drawn ;'rom the above remarkable Fecord is that no coinci- dence has place here whatever, simply, that so not- ably a popularity is and must be based on merit of l high order, and embraces all those qualities de- manded by expert shots, as it is a well known fact hat in all such contests where strain is necessarily jresent, ammunition used must represent accuracy.

HOG CHOLERA. |: Hog cholera and swine plague are < he principal diseases of hogs that ap- ear in the form of an epidemic and ( hat are considered very infectious -and ■ 'ontagious. Both diseases generally Appear in any gjven outbreak, but the Jieneral name of hog cholera is applied .1.) such outbreaks as well as to several |>ther diseases that appear among hogs. K has been generally recognized that l.og cholera is due to a bacteria com- Ijipnly designated as the hog cholera T.acillus. This germ is present to a reat extent in the alimentary canal, l.nd is passed from the body of the ck hog in large numbers, and in this ay infect lots and pens where the ck hogs are. Such infection may be isily taken into the body of the well jg with food and water, and in this ay soon infect the entire lot. When the disease appears among the >gs of a given locality, as on a cer- in farm, it is evident that the pens e infected This infection may be i'vrried to the pens in a number of Kays, but generally by means of some ; :k animal or on the shoes of parties ho have been in pens where sick ani- aJs are. In any case the first thing do is to move the well hogs into 2sh lots, and where there will be no mmunication with the pens where e sick ones are kept. If others take k the well ones should be moved ain, as it will do little good to mpve t the sick ones and leave the others take the disease in the infected pen. ii=hings from infected lots when car- d into streams will spread the dis- J|se to farms located further down t stream, and hog raisers should be necially careful of their water sup- ' when the disease is in their local- ; . They should not allow hogs to ;e water from a stream when the ■ ease is known to be on farms above There has been"% great deal of work le to find some cure or preventive bog cholera. Certain l'.nes of work ■m to indicate that a system of vac- ation may be perfected that will act a similar manner on hogs as a ans of preventing hog cholera, as i xination does on cattle to prevent blackleg. If such a method is found to be reliable the disease will be practi- cally under control. The feeding and care that hogs receive will do much to prevent such diseases, as unthrifty herds are the ones most likely to con- tract any disease. Plenty of green feed, such as cane, alfalfa, etc , with a good supply of fresh, clean water during the summer months will do a great deal towards keeping hogs in the best pos- sible condition. The Oklahoma experiment station at Stillwater has devoted considerable time to the study of hog cholera and the transmission of the disease by means of the hog cholera bacillus. This work has been principally along the lines of producing immunity in the small experimental'animals and study- ing the effects of the germ in the hog. To facilitate work of this character it is very desirable to know of the exist- ence of this disease, and any one hav- ing diseases of this nature among his hogs will aid the station in this work by communicating the fact and giving a thorough description of the symp- toms and course of the disease. A DEVICE FOR WATERING STOCK. About this time of year when lakes and ponds become low cattle are al- ways encroaching so as to make them decidedly foul and muddy. Then some day one of the cattle will lie down and die and the ranchers will tell each other that black leg is getting the cat- tle After seeing several cattle die very queerly a "Weld county man con- cludes that it is the dirty water that kills the stock and we have an idea he is right about it. As a general propo- sition whenever these holes are fenced off no more of these queer deaths occur among the stock. Most ditches are not reliable enough to give water for cattle all the time so it is neces- sary that some means are employed to hold a week's supply of water. In telling how he arranges this mat- ter the Weld county man says: "A place was selected on the low side of the ditch where a headgate had washed out leaving quite a hole. This was dammed across the lower end, the sides being also raised a little until a small pond is made forty feet long, sixteen feet wide and 4M> feet deep in the deepest place. An inch and a quarter pipe to the main ditch kept it full and another one and one-quarter pipe provides an outflow. A three-quarter inch pipe runs through the lower end of the dam and about 150 feet off down a hill the pipe runs into a small tank holding four or five barrels. In the tank is a float valve with a small mo- lasses can for a float. When a little band of cattle comes in for water the tank fills up again without attention as the float valve opens up just as soon as any water is drank and shuts up when the tank is full. "The little pond is fenced so that no stock can get into it and the small tank is set against a fence so that stock may not shove it and is also securely fastened to the fence. The whole thing — labor and all — did not cost more than $20 and we have water there every day, ditch or no ditch, for about 100 head of stock. It may sound queer but it is the truth that thirsty stock will go right over the main ditch and the 150 feet more to the tank just to drink the tank water, the apparent reason being that the water in the ditch is muddy while that in the tank is settled and clear." general, many of these coming to bt» regarded as quite effective by repel- lants. Through application at fre- quent intervals to stable walls and fix- tures, and even to the animals them- selves, the fly nuisance is greatly miti- gated. Where the cows are milked in- doors the practice of keeping the sta- ble as dark and cool as possible will add to the comfort of both cow and milkman during the fly season. The use of cheap blankets to be worn con- stantly, or at least during daylight hours, is advocated by some. "Very in- expensive ones can be made from gun- nysacking, and if designed to protect mainly the back of the animal they will not prove uncomfortably warm, yet giving protection where it is needed most. Fighting the flies, by whatever method the dairyman may choose, will not be found expensive in the long run since repelling the pests from the sta- ble means rest and contentment for the weary animals, making them easier to handle, to say nothing of the more satisfactory milk flow and of the re- duction of chance for contamination of the product, opportunity for which is always dangerously great in fly-In- fested quarters. — Exchange. PROTECTION FROM FLIES. It is hard to make a close guess as to how much of the inevitable decrease in milk flow during the extremely hot sea- son is due to the discomfort caused by flies; however, no dairyman will ques- tion the statement that the necessity for fighting these pests affects to some extent at least the work of every cow in the herd. So generally is this fact recognized that nearly every wide- awake dairyman has, at one time or another, given the matter serious con- sideration, and no doubt employed va- rious means calculated to reduce the annoyance and loss. Of course all realize that it Is impossible to afford their animals perfect protection from flies, but there are a number of ways in which relief of a fairly satisfactory nature can be given. First, the use of preparations to be applied with sprayer or atomizer has become quite Distemper in Colts. — The following tonic usually does considerable good : Thirty-five pounds of oil meal, 1% pounds of iron sulphate, nine ounces of nux vomica, four ounces of pul- verized gentian and six ounces of pul- verized ginger; give the horse 2% ounces of this mixture three time* daily in ground feed. Have the teeth examined as some bad teeth may need pulling while others may be a little sharp.

Tnel tying high prices iry herd un- to be given to the an ' ter of the feed. for however well bred and efficient the individuals, they cannot give in their product what they do not receive in their The fact that dairy cows should be ling to their milk production should not be overlooked. A cow ca- pable of producing fifty pounds of milk . will require n-.ore than tw'.ce as much feed as a cow giving only ten pounds of milk a day. This point can- not be too strongly emphasized Grain feed should not usually compose over half the weight of the ration, ranging from that to nothing, according to the character of the roughage available and the amount of milk given by the cow-. In general it is a safe rule to feel liberally on good roughage and vary the grain portion to suit the re- quirements of the individual. The far- mer should, as a rule, aim to raise the greater portion of the feed for his stock upon the farm. Since rough feed is usually much cheaper than grain, too much impor- tance cannot be attached to securing hay and fodder in the best possible condition. If hay is unduly exposed to dew- and rain during the time of cur- ing it loses much, both in nutrition and palatability. It is also important that hay and fodder be cut at the proper stage before becoming too ripe and the stems woody. When cows have luxuriant pasture during late spring, before the heat be- s excessive or the flies trouble- some, the conditions are nearly ideal for dairy cows. The nearer we ap- proach these conditions the year around the better the milk production. It is, therefore, essential to the best yields and most economical results that suc- culent food be provided for cows dur- ing the winter months. There are two ways of providing this succulent food — by silage and by root crops. My comparing the results ob- tained at several different experiment stations it is found that corn yields about twice as much nutriment per acre as do root crops. Since roots re- quire much more hand labor, which is so expensive in this country, it is more iraical for the corn-belt farmer to get his succulent food during winter from corn silage than from root crops. Silage is essentially valuable on farms or in communities where rough feed is scarce, for more stock can be kept on a given area of land where the crops are made into silage than Warranted to Give Satisfaction.

Dairymen suffer greatly every sum- mer from not supplying proper green I heir cows during the hot, weather of mid-summer This tage of feed comes at an inoppor- tune time, since the cows are already beginning to feel the effect of the heat and flies, which of themselves quite perceptibly lessen the flow of milk. If feed is cut short at this time the shrinkage is sure to be large, resulting in a great loss, for it is practicably imposs:ble to restore the shrinkage during the period of lactation. A con- tinuous supply of feed is equally es- sential to the successful maintenance of young and growing animals. F^or Sale. The Perfectly Galted Trotting Stallion ALTA VELA 2:11 1-4 (Reg.

PHENOL SODIQUE lioals NODULE DISEASE OF SHEEP. For several years past the veterinary department of the Louisiana experi- ment station has been conducting ex- periments in connection with nodul? disease of sheep, a parasitic ailment which seems to be quite general over the entire country, with a view of ascertaining some practical method by which infection might be eliminated from pastures. It has long been known that the pasture is the chief source of infection of this disease. The Louisiana experiment station at- tempted to keep the lambs free from the disease until they were weaneel, and in looking about, hit upon the plan of a "bare-lot" method, in which the ewes were fed soiling crops and the lambs given only their mothers* milk, possibly supplemented with a little green or grain food. It was found by this method that practically all the lambs could be brought to weaning age without infection, at which -time they could be turned onto clean pastures without further danger of infection. From, the results of the experiment the station feels justified in making the following deductions: 1. That by the bare-lot method it is possible to raise lambs up to the period of weaning and without separating them from their affected mothers, prac- tically free from nodule disease of the intestines. 2. That in the absence of intestinal parasites, other than the nodule disease worm, lambs intended for feeding for the early or other markets may be raised in this way without their health being impaired or their general condi- tion affected by the disease 3. That in the case of ewe iambs to be kept for breeding purposes, and which may have become only slightly infected, there is the possibility, owing to the life-history of the parasite, as given by helminthologists (those who make a special study of worms), of auto-infestation and subsequent infec- tion of clean pastures on which the lambs may have been placed. 4. That, although the previous de- duction as to such possibility may be correct, there can hardly be any ques- tion as to the great reduction in the primary infectation by the bare -lot method, as compared to that brought about where the lambs are permitted to graze on pasture infested through the droppings of their diseased moth- ers. 5. That the method is so simple and is so free from technicalities that any flockmaster who will take the trouble to observe ordinary care as to the few details can obtain at least fair results from its adoption. 6. That with the supply of some good vermifuge mixture to which the sheep can have free access at all times, in conjunction with the method, more satisfactory results might be looked for than was even obtained in our experi- ment. 7. That when the lot becomes in- fected with other intestinal parasites, such ms stomach and tape worms, etc.. the method alone will not prevent in- festation of the lambs by such para- sites 8. That the method is worthy of trial by i! ii kmasters owning breeding ewes affei uh nodule disease of the in- t--Stl! |l Fore- Warned Every horse owner can feel safe and sure If he will keep constantly on hand a supply of Kendall's Spavin Cure Experienced horsemen, trainersand breeders every- where know it to be a sure remedy lor Spavins, Rlngbonas, Curbs, Splints andalllormsof lameness.

Live stock husbandry not only re- lieves the farmer largely ot dependence on hired help, but offers special m- aucements in reasonably large profits. !per acre cultivated fields may return larger revenue than animal husbandry, Lt the expense of cultivation is great in<3 the risk is precarious. The former regime exhausts fertility, while the lat- ;er increases the productivity of the soil. , . , „ I Live stock farming is an adjunct of hriftiness and associated with agri- ultural prosperity. While the pioneer nay be compelled to draw on nature's -esources for a few years by raising .vheat, corn or flax as a commercial top, if he is an intelligent, progres- sive farmer he naturally anticipates a hinge of system to stock husbandry. I Nature has for centuries gathered fertilizing properties and stored them n the soil to produce the necessities 'or the maintenance of life, and no- Lvhere are greater natural resources nassed than in the rich lands of the West. Grass grows in pristine luxur- ance and cattle, sheep, horses and hogs nature rapidly on the nutritious pas- ures. II There is a great advantage in rais- ng live stock in that it requires less lelp on the farm and the husbandman ,oon becomes forehanded, because he ilways has stock ready to market. D Live stock possesses many advan- ages in rotation farming, inasmuch as he live stock industry utilizes a vari- ety of crops. Animals are nominally living machines that consume the .roducts of the farm and transform nto gold the roughage that otherwise vould be wasted. Stock farming, when .perated in conjunction with a crop otation system, increases the aver- ge yield of various crops and broadens llhe capacity of live stock husbandry. Eve stock naturally safeguards the ■allure to cultivated crops and insures 'he farmer a steady income. There is no danger of overdoing the idustry, as statistics demonstrate that opulation normally increases faster han live stock husbandry. Consump- ive demand for live stock products nil broaden faster than production, isuring stable prosperity to the in- i ustry. In the Southwestern states feed can \ e'prbduced in" abundance at compara- vely little cost, making animal hus- and'ry a safe and profitable industry. 7ith the best market in the world eas- y accessible farmers should raise lore live stock of the best commer- iar'types. The better quality outsells re low grades 30 to 50 per cent, and he breeders and finishers of the bet-. Lr class of stock seldom have occasion It criticize the market. THE SWITCHING TAIL. One of the troubles of the milker is le frequency with which the cow vitches her tail into one's face or locks one's hat off. There are several mple devices to overcome this and le of the best is by arranging a length ! wire about three feet back of the limal stretching it from one post to lother. Before fastening the one end ke a lath and after boring a hole in I run the wire through it. On the her end of the lath fasten an eight - ch pieec of barrel hoop, fastening the wer end to the lath with nails and ilding the upper end in place with ring. Before milking take the cow's ,il and draw the hairy bunch 'through e loop. She will be unable to move and after a few trials will give it ) and stand still. An English dairy writer gives the flowing unique method of ascertain- % as to whether or not a cow is with lft: "The cow to be tested is milked > parately and as soon as possible ter the milk is drawn we dip a straw *$ timothy stem in the bucket of milk. ive a glass of pure water at hand id allow one drop of the milk to fall the water — only one; if the milk lickly dissipates and renders the .ter murky, the cow is not in calf, it if the milk drop sinks to the bot- m of the glass before mixing with e water, she is pregnant. If you are t sufficiently expert take the milk of ther cow that has newly calved, d pursue Wie same treatment with th at the same time and you will t fail to note the difference in the ly the drop of milk will mix with 3 water. I have practiced this thod of determining pregnancy in r herd for years and have never own it to fail." This is simplicity elf, and it won't cost much to try it. ^M tm^P ^^ Registered Trade Mark W Aj» ^^^i T^ SPAVIN CURE < 0"-- It Is well to know that in many cases certain conditions which cause lameness In the same looa- tlon In different horses present varied and different phases.

You have not asked for any testimonial from roe. but I feel that it Is only fair to tell you what your great remedy has done for me. My son had and still has a very fine mare by Baron Wilkes, and herdam was Hattie Ide by Gllly. He bought her unbroken and started' to lead her home, and had not gone half a mile when she went lame. She had two spavins; he called a veterinary. She got better of her lameness and I went to breaking her to drive, and she went lame on the other side. We stopped andhad her Bred and blistered In both spav'ns. Rested her six months and commenced to drive her again and she went lame. I had tb.it leg fired again and gave her the usual rest, and she went lame as soon as we bsgan to u^e her I saw your advertisement and wrote for a bottle and used lt as thedlrectlonssaid. We commenced to drive her and she stood the test. We trained her; worued her twice a week, mile and repaat, and we are still driving her, and she goes as sound as any horse can If any one will use It according to directions it will cure, and no mistake.

"When the list of new 2:10 reformers for 1905 is made up at the close of the 7ear it will be found that California horses furnish a pretty heavy per- centage of the entire number. If there is anything that should demonstrate to a certainty the fact that California is one of the greatest speed breeding places in the world, it is that in recent years but com- paratively few California bred horses are taken east and raced and although they are compelled to meet the pick of all the other breeding and training cen- ters, they manage to get a pretty fair proportion of the money and in the lists of fast performers always make a good showing at the end of the season. track, Sept. 27th, 1894. He won the race for year- ling trotters August 17th in San Francisco, with five starters, time 2 : 2S and the race for yearlings at Woodland August 27th, time 2:26, with three start- ers. He died last year in the East. He was by Advertiser out of Beautiful Bells. ANOTHER TWO MINUTE PACER. The fourth pacer to get into the two minute circle is Audubon Boy and his record was made at Read- ville, Mass., on Friday last, September 22nd. Dan Patch 1:56, Star Pointer 1:59% and Prince Alert 1:59% are the three that entered this exclusive list before him, but those who saw the son of J. J. Audubon accomplish the feat of pacing a mile in- side of two minutes believe that he is a rival of the great Dan Patch as the mile was made without a runner or a wind shield in front of the horse. Audubon Boy's time just equals the record of 1:59% made by Star Pointer seven years ago. The press dispatch gives the following particulars: Audubon Boy started to beat 2:00%. The weather conditions favored record time. The assistance of a pacemaker was useless, Audubon Boy having dis- tanced his pacemaker before the half-mile post was reached. In making the trial for the record, James Y. Gatcomb, owner of the chesnut stallion, refused to use a wind shield or to have a running horse draw a cart with canvas attached between the wheels in the lead, preferring to make the attempt in the same way that Star Pointer gained the world's record of 1:59% at the Readville track seven years ago. This is the present record with the runner or pacemaker going at one side. Dan Patch, in 1902, paced a niile in Readville in 1:59% under similar conditions, but as he went to beat that time it was recorded as a losing performance. Since then Dan Patch has gain- ed a record of 1:56, but this mark wras made with a running horse in the lead. It was a little after 4 o'clock when Audubon Boy tried for the record. The first quarter was made in 0:29 and the next in 0:28%. making the time for the F. M.

Mr. Grondola's mare Daisy May, trained by the veteran Hines, has been meeting and vanquishing about every road trotter in Alameda county during the past few months and the country has been scoured to find a trotter that could take her measure. Mr. Scott, the well known contractor of Oakland, has finally found a horse that he thinks can do the trick and has put up $250 forfeit in the hands of William Wheeler. He has named the chestnut trotter Faust by Aptos Wilkes that was on the circuit in 1902 and failed to win a heat. Faust is the same horse that kicked and killed Pat McCartney at Salinas some years ago and is a gelding about ten or eleven years old. In 1892 Farmer Bunch campaiged Faust and started him in seven races. He got some of the money in most of his races but did not succeed in getting a heat or a record. The races in which he started were won in from 2:18 to 2.23 and he was generally third or fourth horse. Rio Vista George was following the circuit that year trying to pick the winners and often worked Faust out a few heats for the Farmer. If I remember right he drove the gelding a mile in 2 : 19 at Napa one morning, at least that was the time the boys assured him the horse made, although it was reported on the quiet that 2:25 was nearer the correct time. The match between Faust and Daisy May Is to be mile heats, best three in five, and it has been agreed that the winner must give the loser a return match for the same amount, within two weeks from date of first race. This race will be two mile heats, best two in three. Both events are the talk of "horse circles" in Alameda county at the present time.

Nearly one-half the stock Included by the late Dr. Hicks In half mile 0:57^. "When the time was announced the crowd cheered. The third quarter was reached in 1:27%, but before this it was seen that whatever the time of the mile Audubon Boy would have to make it entirely, unassisted, the pacemaker then being 100 yards in the rear. Gatcomb did not make a stirring drive at the finish and was 0:31% coming to the wire, making the time for the mile 1:59%, just equaling Star Pointer's time, and giving Audubon Boy that mark, inasmuch as his attempt was for the purpose of beating 2:00%. Audubon Boy is a chestnut horse, foaled 1S97 and took a record of 2:03% in 1902, when he was the heaviest money winning pacer of the year, his win- nings amounting to over $25,000. His sire J. J. Audubon 2:19 is by Alcyone 2:37, sire of McKinney, out of Dolly Pomeroy a producing mare by Highland Grey 824, a horse carrying the blood of Black Hawk 5 and Hambletonian 2.

Wilkes and the great brood mare Favorite by Abdallah 15), grandam Kit by Clark Chief 89. Few horses are richer in producing blood than Audubon Boy, one of a half dozen horses — two t cotters and four pacers — that have beaten two minutes. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. DR. H. J.

It is claimed there were 100,000 people on the grounds of the Michigan State Fair on Septem- ber 14th. Kalkar, the Kremlin three-year-old who raced at Readville, trotted the middle half of the first mile in 1:03% and was timed in 2:12% in the second. John Young has turned him over to Geers, who will drive him in the Kentucky Futurity. Sally Pointer by Sky Pointer and of Sister by Mc- Kinney, second dam Aileen by Anteeo, third dam Lou Milton, the dam of Lou Dillon, has reduced her re- cord to 2:11. Erne Powers 2:08%, the pacing mare that is so old and has been racing so long that they call her "Auntie," was separately timed in 2:06% in her first start at Hamline this year. She was foaled in 1890. Colonel Delmar, 2:18%, that has been winning races in New England, is a brother in blood to Major Delmar, 1.59%. Both were sired by Del Mar, 2:16%, and Wilkes Maid, the dam of Colonel Delmar, is a full sister of Expectation, the dam of Major Delmar, both being by Autograph, 2:16%, and from Miss Copeland, 2:25%, the dam of Copeland, 2:09%.

Simon Bull Tail won three out of four half-mile heats, with Stand on The Bull second. Two Stinks and Swallow Bird dropped out of the race in the second and third rounds, the former hav- ing been thrown when entering the stall. Both had refractory horses." Bruce Sieberts, a horse raiser on thfc Cheyenne river in South Dakota, has just closed out his entire herd, putting in 500 horses at an average price of $28 a head for animals of all classes. In publishing the list of third payments in Futurity Stake No. 5 last week the following were omitted: Brown colt Lookout by Searchlight, dam Bee by Sterling and bay colt by Demonio dam Babe by Star- light, entered by EJ.

The Billings horses have been returned to Glen- ville, where they will be seen in the regular matinees of the Gentlemen's Driving Club until the end of the season. Doc Tanner will begin early to get them ready for the Old Glory sale in November. Zombro 2.11, owned by Geo. T. Beckers, won first prize for aged standard bred stallions at the Lewi:* and Clark live stock show. Lord Kitchener 2:24%, by Zombro. owned by T. D. Condon, was second, and Nocturno, owned by G. A. Westgate, was third. W. H. Morris of Santa Rosa, has sold his fine roadster Clipper W. 2:24% by Lynwood W., to Mr. Kirkpatrick, a wealthy lumber dealer of New York who has been visiting this State during the past month. Clipper W. is a trotter and much faster than his record which was made^ at Santa Rosa this year. His dam is Thetis a mare* by Robin, sire of Roblet 2.12 and Robizola 2:12%. Bonnie Mc is trotting in hard luck in the three year old events on the Grand Circuit. She has start- ed twice, and in both races has been distanced the first heat through breaks made just after getting the word. This filly bas worked several miles bet- ter than 2:15 and has two minute speed. At the Park County Fair, Livingston, Montana, the pacer Jib reduced his record from 2:12 to 2:10 in a race In which he defeated the mare Alpha W. by Judge Norval. Jib is by Senator 21305, a son of Echo, bred by J. B. Haggin at Rancho del Paso. At the Bozeman meeting Alpha W. defeated Jib and paced a heat of 2:10%. This is pretty fast pacing for Montana, Next Saturday will be Sonoma county day at the Ukiah race meeting, and three trotting and pacing events will be on the program. There will be a race of half mile heats, best three in five, in which Robizola 2 : 12 %, R. W. P., and several other fast trotters will start. Last year over the Ukiah track Ole by Silas Skinner set the California trotting race record for a half mile track at 1:05% and it is thought this record will be lowered next Saturday over the same track. Susie N. 2:09% seems to be headed for that $20,- 000 Kentucky Futurity, but Katherine L., Bon Voy- age, Rosa Bell and The Phantom will make it quite interesting for the fast daughter of Moko. W. W. Mendenhall has sold his yearling filly May- time by Stam B. 2:11%, dam Elsie Downs, to Mrs. C. F. Bunch of Pleasanton. The sale price was $350. Helen Norte 2:09% is Del Norte's second 2:10 per- former. Del Norte is getting speed from all classes of mares, but has had very limited opportunities. Dr. Frasse 2:12%, son of Iran Alto 2:12%, is now owned by Mr. J. T. Richards of Salt Lake City, and is not a back number by any means. Dr. Frasse started in the free for all trotting events at the Bozeman and Park County Fairs, Montana, this month, and won both events. At Bozeman the best time was 2.19 and at the Park County Fair the fast- est heat was in 2:17. The types made us say in this department recent- ly that Chas. Whitehead headed the list of "run- ning" drivers on the California circuit this year. It should have read "winning" drivers. T. P. Schwartz of Woodland, who is training sev- eral thoroughbreds at Emeryville, has recently broken to harness a yearling trotter by Marvi., Wilkes (3) 2:18, dam Lucy B. 2:17% by Alex But- ton that weighs 1107 pounds without a particle of coarseness or grossness about him. The colt at- tracts much attention from horsemen who predict great things from him. Mr. J. S. Bransford of Salt Lake City, who pur- chased the pacer Tom Carneal 2:08% at Los Angeles during the meeting there in July, also bought the pacer Cavaliero 2:09% by Stanton Wilkes at the same time. Mr. Bransford will use both horses on the road. The whole fuss over the seling of pools at Cleve- land, is said to have been politics. At the other places in the state where races are being held this year betting on the results is being done as usual. Sweet Marie will probably go a mile against her own record of 2:04% at the Los Angeles meeting in November and if she reaches home in fair shape the fastest mile ever trotted in California will be seen. Alix 2:03% trotted the fastest mile ever seen in this State when she tried to beat her record at Los An- geles December 25th, J894. She failed in the at- tempt to lower her mark as the mile was in 2:05%, but no other trotter has ever shown as fast a mile this side the Rocky Mountains. The fastest win- ning heat ever trotted in California is to the credit of Mr. A. B. Spreckels' mare Dione by Eros, whose mile in 2:07% at Santa Rosa July 4th, 1900 is the coast record. Danube started in the $5,000 trot at Libertyville, Illinois, last week but was just outside the money, being fifth in the summary. Advancer wc(n the race in straight heats, best time 2:11%. Sweet Marie failed to lower the record at Reaa- ville on Friday of last week. The mare made two attempts but 2:05% was the best she could do. In her first trial she broke at the third quarter and was not driven out. Nathan Strauss is a pretty healthy ten year old. His two heats in 2:03% at Columbus last week prove that. He is the fastest of the get of Director, an honor won last year when he paced in 2:04%. His dam is Mary Marshall 2:12% by Billy Wilkes, (son of Harry Wilkes and a mare by Clark Chief), sec- ond dam Bennie Snyder, dam of May Marshall 2:08%, Major Marshall 2.08%, etc., by Mambrino Abdallah 2201, third dam Hippedeclinch by Nick Monroe, son of Jim Monroe 835, fourth dam Mary by Bay Eagle, son of Grey Eagle. Nathan Strauss was foaled in 1895 and was bred by A. H. Moore of Calmar, Pa. CARE OF STALLIONS. As every reader knows there is a great deal of difference in the sureness of stallions as foal getters. The importance of this property in a valuable stal- lion canot be easily overestimated. The degree to which it will be possessed by him will depend large- ly on the way he is handled. As a rule the stallions which prove most sure as foal getters are those which have been fed and ex- ercised with intelligence. This does not mean that all classes of stallions will be fed and exercised in the same way. The treatment in these respects that would be proper for a heavy Belgian or a Shire would not necessarily be proper for a Standard bred horse or a Coacher. For instance, it might be advantageous to let the heavy horses take all the exercise that they require in a roomy paddock from day to day, where the light horses in some instances might be inclined io take too much exercise if allowed to take it that way. In some instances the draft stallions are so sluggish that it is necessary to set them to work moderately in order to keep them in the best condition for ful- filling the mission required of them. With reference to food no set rule can be laid down. The hay and other products should, of course, be good in quality. Oats, bran, and a certain pro- portion of barley make a good grain ration with now and then a handful of oil meal. The digestion of the animal should be closely watched, as nothing will unfit a stallion more quickly for his work than de- rangement of the digestive organs. In many instances stallions are injured by over feeding, especially when enough of exercise is not given. The feeding, however, should be sufficiently generous to keep the animal in good condition. — The "Farmer." ROSEBURG, OREGON, RACES.

American Horse Breeder: The vast superiority of Rysdyk's Hambletonian over all other stallions of s :: perpetuator of extreme trotting speed, has long been conceded by every well posted horse- man. It is becoming more apparent every season. This fact is strikingly illustrated in the new 2:10 trotters of the present season. Up to September 16th the number of new 2:10 trotters for 1905 was IS. and every one of the 18 trace in the paternal line directly to Rysdyk's Hambletonian. while 14 of the IS are from dams that trace directly through their sires to Rysdyk's Hambletonian, and the dams of the other four also show a Hambletonian cross somewhere along the line, so that every one of the IS is inbred to the Hambletonian strain. The majority of these new 2:10 performers are con- ly inbred to Rysdyk's Hambletonian, for 13 of them are by sires whose pedigrees show two or. more crosses of that noted trotting progenitor, and 12 of them from dams that inherited two or more crosses of that famous son of old Abdallah. The sons of Rysdyk's Hambleonian that are most prominent in the pedigrees of these IS new 2:10 performers are George Wilkes (2:22), Alexander's Abdallah, Elec- tioneer and Dictator. One-third of the number, six, trace directly to George Wilkes in the paternal line, and six of the lot are from dams that are direct descendants of George Wilkes. Five of the sires of these new 2:10 performers are direct descendants in the paternal line of Alexander's Abdallah, a horse that lived to be only 13 years old, and was got when Rysdyk's Hambletonian was only two years old. Katy Darling, the dam of Alexander's Abdallah, was only six years old when she produced him. The dams of three of these IS new 2:10 per- formers also trace directly to Alexander's Abdallah in the male line. Two of these new 2:10 performers are by sires and one from a dam that trace directly to Electioneer in the paternal line and two are by sires that are direct descendants of Dictator. One each of the sires of the remaining three new 2.10 trotters are descendants respectively of Edward Ev- erett. Happy Medium and Strathmore. Next to the Hambletonian strain the most con- spicuous one in the above trotters is that of Mam- brino Chief 11 The number which are led by Ham- bletonian sires that inherited Mambrino Chief blood through their dams is 12. The dams themselves of I he.se 2 : 10 trotters also show one or more crosses of Mambrino Chief. Most of the Mambrino Chief crosses come -through Mambrino Patchen 58, Woodford Mambrino (2:21%), and old Dolly, all of which were from dams which inherited a near thor- The Seely's. American Star cross is found in just one-half of these new 2:10 trotters. It appears from the above that the Hambletonians. - American Star combina- ■ 1 fortified by race-winning -iibred blood, is the most successful one for ms to indicate that the Wilkes branch of the Hambletonian family Is producing extren er uniformil y ■ r. i This a pparent super- iority of the Win however, is partly due fact that the number of stallions of Wilkes ■ are doing stud service is far greater than that from any other branch of the Hambleton- Electioneer Xutwood com- I .'Ikes is as. i earn of trottJng blood. front with phenomenal crowds and when records of attendance are to be compared this institution will have to be reckoned with. Indiana's State Fair also furnishes a first class place for the racing of the light harness horse and Illinois promises to improve over its magnificent record in the past. It w^ill not be long before these State Fairs will monopolize all the best horses in the West and it is noticeable that the horsemen had rather race for the rich purses offered at these places than to compete for lesser money where speculation is allowed. So long as these big purses are provided the horsemen will trou- ble themselves very little about the speculative fea-. ture of the sport. This will mean that the breeders can continue in confidence to raise colts on an ex- tensive scale for they wall find a ready market for the product.. Peruna, b. g Owyho; eh. h Sweet Boy, b. h. . .

Ine and Milwauk- ■ recoi U Michigan, too, has come to the American Horse Breeder: A number of trainers and owners signed a paper at Syracuse in which they declared that they would not henceforth enter their horses in three-in-five races. Just what effect this so-called "Syracuse Compact" will have on the fu- ture of racing remains to be seen. There is no denying the fact that there has been a growing sentiment among trainers and owners the past few years favorable to shorter races. The can- vass of the horsemen made by the Breeder several years ago and as late as last spring shows that con- clusively, if no other evidence were at hand to show it. Recognizing this sentiment, several of the asso- ciations have limited the heats to two in three oi to three, but experiments, so far. would seem to have left these methods open to a question of doubtful expediency. That there is good reason for reducing the number of heats in the extremely fast classes, such as free- for-alls, there can be little doubt, as here the horses have to be strung to their limit to win and the con- testants are for the most part aged horses whose recuperative power is not as good as that of younger horses, but it should not be forgotten that there is another side to the question. Gameness in man or beast is a quality that every American admires, and it is, next to speed, the most important thing that breeders seek, and short races, heats, best two in three, or limited races of three heats, have a very decided tendency to put a premium on the sprinter as against the horse of .stamina and endurance. It is true that the most interesting races have been those events of three-in-five heats, where the heats were split up and the contests prolonged. That three- in-five racing is popular with the public, too, in spite of its defects, there can be no doubt, as evi- denced by the attendance at the Providence meeting which, for the past three years, has been the largest of any of the meetings in the Grand Circuit: and Providence has consistently adhered to races of three-in-five heats. The worst feature of racing, from the owner's and trainer's point of view", as now conducted on the Grand Circuit, is, it seems to us, that there is no uniformity in conditions. One meeting offers a purse, for. say, two-in-three heats, in class 2:25 trot; the next town makes the same class for three in five and the next week it may be for three heats, and trainers are consequently at sea about preparing their horses. Any trainer will tell you that the preparation needed for a two-in-three race is quite different from that of a three-in-five race. It seems to us that the plan adopted by the New England Trotting Horse Breeders* Association, of rul- ing out all horses that do not stand for the money at the end the third heat is a good one. It certainly works well in practice and has a decided tendency toward limiting the number of heats in a race. AT OAKLEY PARK, CINCINNATI. A fair crowd saw the first days' racing on Mon- day at the Grand Circuit meeting at Oakley Park. The Horse Review Futurity purse, §7,000, was the feature of the card and was won by Susie N. the favorite, with W. A. Clark's Bon Voyage second. Bon Voyage succeeded in winning the second heac Susie N. won first, third and fourth heats. The two-year-old division of the Futurity went to Ed Custer, Vera Prodigal winning the first heat, in which Custer broke and finished fifth. Custer. however, had no trouble in winning the next two heats and the race. In the 2:09 pace Stein, the favorite, won the firs, two heats. While going to the post for the third heat Ethel Mc threw her driver and ran away two miles. After she was stopped and brought back to the judges' stand the race was postponed until Tuesday on account of darkness.

I have heard it said she could pace in two minutes. What is there in the story?" "Well," said Mr. Baldwin. TU tell you what X know. I saw her down in New Orleans. George Effner was there, too; rode Tippecanoe against her. Charlie Dimmick drove her. Dimmick told us he was going to take the mare to New York and sell her for $2500. He said the Eastern peple would give it if she could show a mile in 2:05." 'That was a big price in those days for a pacer," calmly remarked the General. "It is a good price now. Gentry sold last winter for $6500. Forty years ago we didn't think much of them. A big price in those days, a mighty good price." "Good as $25,000 now," declared Baldwin, "the next time I saw Dimmick he was in Cincinnati. I asked him about the mare. He showed me $2500 and said: 'She did all they asked, and more, too.* "Well, if I said I was to get $2500 for a horse if she could pace a mile in 2:05 and got the money to show for it I don't know, I shouldn't be telling the truth," mildly commented the General. In the fall of 1S96 Frank Baldwin and George Eff- ner were to be found every afternoon at the old livery stable on Franklin street. On the day after John R. Gentry beat Robert J. at Fleetwood the two got to talking about Pocahontas. "What did she 'look like, Frank?" asked Mr. Eff- ner. "She was a big mare, with four white feet and a big white face, and a golden chestnut. Her appear- ance was all thoroughbred. She looked more like old Lexington than any horse I ever saw. She had a big barrel, but then she was carrying Tom Rolfe at the time; foaled him when on the boat on the way to St. Louis. Her gait was peculiar, close, and her stride was very long. She paced just the way Dex- ter trotted. Never saw but one horse like her. That was Buffalo Girl. She traced to Pocahontas, you know. How is it? Do I get her right?" "You remember her pretty well. About all I'll add to it is that she was very rangy. Frank, I've got her picture to a sleigh. Come in and see it." He led the way into the stable office and pointed to a picture on the wall. There was the old mare to a sleigh. A big chestnut, coming through the bunch with that great stride and the high knee action pe- culiar to Dexter. "Looks like her," commented Baldwin, and Effner nodded and added. "She was very fast. I never knew how good she was for though I raced against her. Dimmick was very wise. He told me not to bet against her beating 2:10." "She was fast enough to beat anything of her day, and I guess she would give Gentry a good race. I'd bet on her." "I think I would, too." Pocahontas had her peculiarities. She had two gaits only, a pace and a walk. Cicero J. Hamlin saw her when she had been retired. "I watched her get over a pair of bars half way down," he said. "She hitched over them and then went pacing across the field. It was pretty fast, but not a two-minute clip." Charles Dimmick spent his old age in Kentucky and frequently claimed that Pocahontas had paced for him a mile in two minutes. Of course many ridi- culed the statement. But a man named Horatio Gaines, of St. Louis, at one time printed a signed statement that one morning in the fall of 1S54 he went to the old Queen City track in Cincinnati and timed Pocahontas in a trial. He said that the pacer was accompanied by a runner, which carried her to the half in 1:10 and then quit. There the mare was given her head and came to the half in 5S^ seconds. Mr. Gaines stated the Queen City track was over a mile and slow at that. He added that he would not be surprised to hear that she had paced a mile over any of the fast New York tracks in two minutes or better. Mr. Gaines expressed a belief that a half in SS1/^ was sufficient to carry the mare way under the two-minute mark. Pocahontas was well bred. She was by Iron's Cadmus, a son of Cadmus, by American Eclipse. Cadmus was a thoroughbred and, it is claimed, a fair race horse. Iron's Cadmus was taken to Ohio. The dam of Pocahontas was by Big Shakespeare, a son of Shakespeare. — Horse World.

VOLUNTEER SEES KLATAWAH 2:05|/2. Without doubt one of the greatest horses ever bred in California is Klatawah, whose three-year-old rec- ord of 2:05% pacing has never been beaten since he made it in 1S9S. He was bred at Oakwood Park Stock Farm and, as all our readers know, is by Steinway, the stallion which Sam Gamble selected as premier for that great breeding farm, and out of Katie G. by Electioneer, a mare that Mr. Gamble also selected to mate with Steinway. Katie G. has proved herself one of the greatest of broodmares and is be- yond question Electioneers greatest daughter. In last week's Horse Review, "Volunteer gives an account of a visit to Danforth Farm, Illinois, where Klatawah is now owned, and the following is an extract there- from: As he stands today I consider Klatawah one of the most superb living specimens of the light harness stallion. In general conformation he approaches nearer the type of the blood horse than any others of his breed — save one or two — that I can recall. None of his photographs begin to give an accurate idea of him. He lacks but a fraction of an inch of six- teen hands and stands wel^ off the ground. Involun- tarily one is apt to look at a horse's head and legs first. Klatawah's head — which surmounts a long, ele- gantly crested neck — while distinctly masculine, is equally handsome. It is lean and bony, without a suggestion of grossness, the muzzle taper, nostril deli- cately modeled, eye beautiful and ear of perfect shape and the smallest I can recollect of seeing on a 16- hand horse. His expression, as you look him full in the face, is amiability itself and that is his tempera- ment. To strangers — or, at least, to me — he was af- fability personified. He could be driven on the road with safety by any woman at all clever with the reins, being quite fearless. His limbs, when one considers that he was trained to a record of 2:1S% at two and 2:05% at three, would surprise an exacting critic. They look, almost, as if he never had been trained. Structurally they are models; flat and cory, the bone itself is heavy, yet the limbs appear slim — which is the hall-mark of true quality in a high-bred horse. The hind leg is un- usually straight — a point which some judges object to, but one that I personally prefer. The hook could not be improved. Comparatively, I should call Klatawah, while he does not lack in length, a short, rather than a long- bodied horse. The lines of his body are beautifully proportioned, and unite with those of his entire physique to produce a total impression of symmetry rare in a stallion of any breed. This symmetry is as clearly apparent whether you look at him broadside, from the front or from the rear — a test so severe that it is seldom a horse emerges satisfactorily from it. The impression was intensified when I got up be- hind him. Many a horse — most horses, in fact — pre- sent a certain ungainliness from that point of view. Klatawah, I am almost tempted to say, looks better from that angle than any other. His carriage is princely — not flashy, but a l'aristocrate. He is a nat- ural trotter and can pull two men in a buggy a 2:20 gait with scarce an effort.. I rode some six miles behind him and never, during that time, did he take a step on the pace. His trotting gait is bold, free and buoyant, and I have no doubt that he could be given a very fast trotting record. To complete my description I should add that Kla- tawah is a rich bronze bay with black points, a small star and the off hind ankle white half way to the hock. His tail is long and full, but his mane is light rather than heavy — again an eloquent testimony of "blue blood." He is a horse of rugged health and great constitutional vigor. Editor Parlin of the American Horse Breeder says: "A suggestion to breeders that has often been re- peated by the writer during the past twenty-five yearn is mate your best mares of Morgan descent with the best stallions of the Hambletonian family within reach. Keep right on doing so. whether the aim may be to produce first-class roadsters or first-class race winners. This combination of blood is mors likely to produce both than any other that has yet been discovered." Mr. E. D. Dudley of Dixon advertises for sale the handsomest two-year-old Diablo colt in California. He is out of the mare Babe by Dawnlight, second dam the famous mare Bee by Sterling, that is the dam of McFadyen (2) 2.15%, third dam Flash, dam of Javelin 2:0S%, etc., by Egmont. This colt is paid up on in the Breeders' Futurity and is an excellent prospect. Stamboulette 2:10%, owned by Mr. Richardson, is now at Fresno and will probably make the season of 1906 there at the Fresno track. This son of Stam- boul is one of the grandest looking stallions in the State and can show a quarter in 30 seconds almost any time. No better gaited trotter ever wore harness and his breeding is very choice. Nutwood 2:18% is now credited with 135 trotters and 36 pacers that have made records in standard time, a total of 171.

Both have gone lame. Ja wild rice, if once allowed to become dry, will not germinate, save possibly an occasional grain. In its natural habitat the seed, as soon as mature, falls into the water and sinks into the mud beneath, where it remains during the winter months, germinating the following spring if conditions are favorable. Heretofore the plan generally followed, and the one usually recommended by those who have given somt attention to the propagation of wild rice, was prac- tically that of natural seeding; that is, to gather the seed in the autumn, as soon as thoroughly mature, and, while still fresh, to sow it in. 1 to 3 feet of w-ater. It must be remembered that the bulk of the seeG remains dormant during the winter, germinating first the spring- after maturing; consequently, with but few exceptions, fall seeding is unsatisfactory and unreliable. Fall seeding is likely to prove a failure for three reasons: (1) Wild ducks and other animals oC various kinds eat or destroy the seed in consider- able quantity before it has had time to germinate the following spring; (2) much of the seed is frequently covered so deeply with mud that washes in from in* shore during the winter that the young plants die of suffocation and starvation before they reach the surface; (3 in some cases a large quantity of the seed is carried away from the place where sown by the high waters and floating ice prevalent during the latter part of the winter and early spring. In exceptional cases these difficulties can be over- come; under which circumstances t autumn sowing may be preferable to spring sowing.* In the majority of cases, however, much better results will be ob- tained if the seed is properly stored and sown in the early spring, as soon as the danger of heavy- floods is passed and the water level approaches normal. In sowing the seed considerable care must be ex- ercised in selecting a suitable place, securing the proper depth of water, etc. Good results can be ex- pected if the seed is sown in from 1 to 3 feet of water which is not too stagnant or too swiftly moving, with a thick layer of soft mud underneath. It is use- less to sow wild rice seed on a gravelly bottom o«. in water where the seed will be constantly disturbed by strong currents. Previous to this time, save in a few reported cases, the seed which was allowed to dry during the winter and was sown the following spring gave only nega- tive results. It is now definitely known that wild rice, if properly handled, can be stored during the winter without impairing the quality of germination to any appreciable degree, and that it can be sown the following spring or summer with good success. The vitality of wild rice seed is preserved almost perfectly if kept wet in cold storage — Nature's method of preservation. This method of storage implies that the seed has been properly harvested and cared for up to the time of storage. The seed should be gathered as soon as mature, put loosely into sacks (preferably burlap), and sent at once to the cold-storage rooms. If the wild rice fields are some distance from the cold-storage plant the sacks of seed should be sent by express, and unless prompt delivery can be guaranteed it is not advisable to send by freight even for comparatively short distances. It is very important that the period between the time of harvesting and the time when the seed is put into cold storage be as short as possible. If this time is prolonged to such an extent as to admit of much fer- mentation or to allow the seed near the outside of the bags to become dry during transit, its vitality will be greatly lowered. It is not practicable to give any definite length of time which may elapse between harvesting and stor- ing, inasmuch as the temperature, humidity, and general weather conditions, as well as the methods of handling the seed, must be taken into considera- tion. Let it suffice to say, however, that the vitality of the seed will be the stronger the sooner it is put into cold storage after harvesting. As soon as the seed is received at the sold-storage plant, while it is still fresh and before fermentation has taken place, it should be put into buckets, open barrels, or vats, covered with fresh water, and placed at once in cold storage. If there is present a con- siderable quantity of light immature seed or straw, broken sticks, etc.. it will be profitable to separate this from the good seed by floating in water pre- paratory to storing The storage room should be maintained at a temperature just above freezing — what the storage men usually designate as the "chill room." When taken from cold storage in the spring the seed must not be allowed to dry out before planting, as a few days' drying will destroy every embryo. Seed which was stored under the foregoing condi- tions from October 19, 1903. to November 15. 1904. 393 days germinated from SO to S8 per cent. Another lot of seed, which was stored on October 6, 1904, and tested for vitality on April 17, 1905, germinated 79.8 per cent. The foregoing conclusions are based on the results obtained from two series of experiments as follows: In October, 1903. a box of wild rice seed was re- ceived from Ontario. Canada. This seed, as soon as gathered was loosely packed in moist sphagnum ana Sent by express to the Seed Laboratory of the United State Department of Agriculture. After a few days, while- it was yet moist and before any fermentation had taken place, the seed was divided into four lots for special treatment, as follows: (1) Seed submerged in water and placed in |, storage at a temperature of 32 degrees to 34 grees F. (2) Seed submerged in water and placed in i storage at a temperature of 12 degrees F. The s was soon embedded in a solid mass of ice and mained so until samp'es were taken for test. (3) Seed, without the addition of wrater, put i cloth bags and kept in cold storage at a temperat of 32 degrees to 34 degrees F. (4) Seed, without the addition of water, putfi] cloth bags and kept in cold storage at a temperat of 12 degrees F. In October, 1904. a second consignment of seed \ received from Minnesota, and the following ac tional storage experiments were made by Mr. C. Scofield, of the Bureau of Plant Industry. (o) Seed submerged in water and placed in c storage at a temperature of 32 degrees to 34 degr F., as in No. 1. (6) Seed submerged in water and placed in c storage at a temperature of 12 degrees F. No. 2. (7) Seed submerged in water in a galvanized-i bucket and stored on the roof of the laboratory bu ing The W;ater was changed daily when frozen. (5) Seed submerged in water in a galvanized-i bucket and stored on the roof of the laborat building, as in No. 7. In this case the water was changed save to replace the loss due to evaporat (9) The conditions for N o. 9 were the same thoie for No. S, except that air was forced into water daily when not frozen solid. Samples of seed were taken from the different 3 and tested for vitality at irregular intervals throu out the time of storage, which ,in the former ser extended over a period approximately thirl months and in the latter series over a period of tie more than six months. Experiments Nos. 1 and 5. — The seed which submerged in water and stored in the "chill ro( showed no deterioration in vitality. The results the final tests gave a germination varying from to 88 per cent. This is practically Nature's met oi preserving the vitality of the seed during winter. Experiments Nos. 2 and 6. — The seed which submerged in water and stored at a temperature 12 degrees F. was all killed before the spring foll< ing the date of storage. Soon after being placed storage the water was frozen solid and the were embedded in a mass of ice, in which coi they remained throughout the experiment, tion being cut out from time to time for genni tion tests. The complete loss of vitality in these lots of seed is attributed not to the freezing direc but to the thorough desiccation as a result of continuous low temperature. Experiments Nos. 3 and 4. — The samples of s which were stored in cloth bags at the temperati of 32 degrees to 34 degrees F. and of 12 degrees had, for all economic purposes, entirely lost their tality. The average percentage of germination, shown by the 37 tests made from each of the lots ,was less than five-tenths of 1 per cent. Experiment No. 7.— The seed which was submer in water and stored on the roof of the laborat building .the water being changed daily, showei good percentage of germination when the last vita tests were made. If only a small quantity of seer desired for the spring planting and cold storage not be readily secured, good results may be tained by this treatment; but it is much less cert and probably more expensive than keeping the s in cold storage, and for this reason is not rec( mended. The success of this method will likev depend largely on the temperature of the water. Experiments Nos. S and 9.— On April 22, 1905 ,s: • pies taken from each of these two lots of seed sh« ed a marked deterioration in vitality. Thoroug'' mixed samples from No. 8 showed a vitality of c 58 per cent, while No. 9 had deteriorated to per cent. _ Too much care can not be given to the matteil packing the seed for transportation, for unless packing is properly done the vitality of the seed be destroyed during transit. What is here said plies to fresh seed which is to be sown in the autut. as well as to seed which has been kept in cold s J age during the winter. It must not be forgot '' however, that the vitality of cold-storage seed! more quickly destroyed on drying than that ■ fresh seed. For transportation the seed should be carefj packed, with moist sphagnum, cocoanut fiber, or excelsior, in a loosely slatted box. If the tinn transportation does not exceed five or six daysfl special precautions need be taken as to the t*H perature. During the period of transportation if quite probable that some of the seed will genninl but if sown at once growth will not be retarded ■ the roots will soon penetrate the soil and anchor • young plants. If the time of transportation is necessarily long-' is recommended, if the best results are desired, i* some provision be made for a reduced temperat* The nearer the temperature approaches that '* freezing the better. It has been demonstrated, h - ever, that a fair percentage of seed will remain i minable for a considerable time if packed as at described. On October 10. 1904, Mr. C. S. Scofield sent a sil quantity of wild rice, packed in moist sphagi o moss in a well-ventilated box, to Doctor De VrlesW Amsterdam. Holland. On October 14 or 15 this^ was placed in cold storage on the steamer in 3 York Harbor. The box of seed was received by I tor De Vries in good condition on November 2, twi one days after the seed was packed for shipment 1 3 a . I .1* September 30, ltf05j &he gveeitev anii grpurisman 9 The samples were tested (1) between folds of blot- ting- paper — our regular method for testing the ger- mination of most seeds — and (2) in water, Nature's method of sowing wild rice seed. The latter method gave much better results and was the one finally adopted for the laboratory tests. The seed should be covered with water, the water in the dishes to be changed daily. Plate I shows the importance of making- the ger- mination tests in water, as described in the fore- going paragraph. The seed was covered with water and placed in a germinating chamber maintained at an alternating temperature of 20 degrees C. (6S de- grees F.) for eighteen hours, and 30 degrees C. (84 de- grees F.) for six hours, until the mapor-ity of thw seeds had germinated. At this stage the dish con- taining the seeds was transferred to the worktabl*. which was exposed to the temperature of the labora- tory— approximately that of a living-room. The wa- ter in the dish was chaged daily during the period of germination, and water was afterwards added a ■. irregular Intervals to replace the doss by evaporation. Germination tests were made at constant and al- ternating temperatures, ranging from 15 degrees to 3S degrees C. (59 degrees to 95 degrees F.). "While no effort was made to show the minimum and maxi- mum temperatures of germination, the percentage was somewhat reduced at a constant temperature of 35 degrees C, and the maximum is not much above that. All of the other temperatures gave good re- sults. The lower temperatures, however, were slight- ly more favorable than the higher. These facts ar*. valuable to show that the wild rice plant can thrrw, in either warm or cold water, but better, perhaps, in northern than in southern latitudes. Summary. — (1) Under no circumstances should wild rice seed which is in tended for planting be al- lowed to dry. Dried seed will germinate but rarely and should never be sown. (2) Wild rice seed can be stored without deter- ioration if it is gathered as soon as matured, put into larrels or tanks, covered with fresh water, and, be- fore fermentation has set in .stored at a tempera- ture of 32-34 degrees F. Seed treated in htis way germinated as high as 88 per cent after being in storage 393 days. Fresh seed seldom germinates bet- ter, and usually not so well. (3) After the seed is taken from cold storage it should not be allowed to dry. The vitality of cold- storage seed is destroyed on drying even more quick- ly than that of fresh seed. (4) For transportation the seed should be packed in moist sphagnum, cocoanut fiber, or fine excelsior. If not more than five or six days are required for transit, no special precautions need be taken for controlling the temperature; but if the time for transportation exceeds six days, provision should be made for a temperature sufficiently low to prevent marked fermentation. A temperature approximately freezing Will give the most satisfactory results. (5) Wild rice can be sown either in the autumn or in the spring. Spring sowing is preferable, thus avoiding the danger of having the seed eaten or de- stroyed by wild ducks or other animals during the fall or winter, or of its being buried or washed away by the heavy floods of late winter or early spring. (6) Wild rice should be sown in the spring in from 1 to 3 feet of water which is neither too stagnant nor too swiftly moving, as soon as the danger of heavy floods is passed. (7) Wild rice is of the greatest importance as a food for wild waterfowl, likewise a delicious breakafst" food for man, and the area in which it is extensively grown should be extended. It will grow luxuriantly in either warm or cold water; furthermore, it can be grown successfully in water which is slightly salty to the taste. (8) In determining the vitality of any sample of wild rice seed the germination tests should be made in water— the condition under which the self-grown germinates. jr* I Ell (9) The seed will germinate well at temperatures, ranging from 15 degrees to 30 degrees C. The maxi- mum temperature of germination is above 35 degrees C. (95 degrees F.), but better results are obtained at lower temperatures. Y* The seed of wild rice sometimes called Indian rice. > or water oats (Zizania aquatica L.), has always been a very palatable food among the Indians, especially those of the upper Mississippi Valley. Of recent years wild rice has found a place on the menu caro.. o fsome of our best American hotels. The rich and highly nutrition grains, together with the slightly smoky flavor it has when properly prepared, make it an extremely palatable article of diet. If it were not for the difficulties of harvesting the seed and preparing the finished product for market it is prob- able that wild rice would find a place in many Ameri- can homes. At present, however, the greatest interest in wild rice is created by the value of the seed as a food for wild water fowl, particularly wild ducks. As a re- sult of this interest the propogation of wild rice from seed has now become a question of considerable In, portance. That there are favorable districts for the growth of wild rice on the Coast is believed by a number of those interested, once a start has been made it is only a question of a comparatively short time when the much desired wild rice will be growing on many preserves, if not on wild rice farms as a market cereal. proved somewhat, or at any rate no harm was done, states a writer in a sporting goods journal. An angling friend has suggested that I did not soak the lines long enough in the solution, but he be- lieves that if they are soaked in it for twenty-four hours, then dried slowly, results should be quite sat- isfactory. This seems plausible to me, in view of the action of the line so far tried after saturation for a half hour or more. I have fished in salt water with a small braided linen line saturated for half an hour in benzine ank paraffin a month previously, and which seemed To be perfectly waterproof when used immediately after drying, but which became wet through using a short time. Subsequent us e of this line surprised me, To* it seemed to be improved a good deal, although when arawn through the fingers none of the paraffin came off the surface as at first. In long casts little water came in on the line when it was reeled in, and it would lie on the surface like a feather until strain was put on the bait. And although the business end of the line would get wet after continued use, it did not swell badly, as b2i'ore treatment, nor did it seem to stick to guides and tips. A favorite line of raw silk, used on a casting-rod, was also treated and used during a week's fishing. This is a very soft line, size "H," and soaked up wa- ter like a sponge before treatment. Since then, how- ever, it shows some improvement — almost as much as the linen line referred to above. Fishing in waters in which there was considerable vegetable growth, either suspended in the 'natter or on the surface, it did not seem to pick up matter to clog the tip or guides. Altogether, there seems to be some merit in the treatment. At any late, it seems that if paraffin ana benzine will wtrterproof tents and the like, why will the solution not be good for fishing lines? As an example, I have a triangular awning which was originally used merely to shade my tent from the sun's rays. It is common bleached muslin, or sheet-' ing. It was treated more than three years ago as an experiment. It turned water then like a duck. Within a month it was used again in camp. As it ■was suspended tightly between three trees, and also guyed between all corners, after a heavy downpour of rain a barrel or so of water was caught in it and held until the weight was too much for one side or the other, when most of it would run off. But none of the water came through this thin muslin, which had alternately been carried in a wad in the bottom of duffle-bags, folded, whipped by the wind, etc., un- til one would think it little better than a sieve. Still, it is as soft and pliable as when it came from the store. After the appearance of my previous communica- tion on this subject Mr. J. E. Hindon Hyde sent me a small piece of a braided linen line that the manu- facturers had waterproofed with a preparation on which he has secured a patent. He claims his pre- paration will not rot silk or vegetable fibres, and will withstand the action of the salts contained in salt water. The line from which the bit was sent me was cut had been submerged in Long Island Sound for six weeks, but he said he could not find that it had been injured thereby. It seems softer than an enameled silk line of equal size, and an examina- tion shows that the waterproofing preparation pene- trated to its core. I understand that the manufac- turers have experimented with this line until they are satisfied with it. and that it will be in the hands of jobbers within a short time. It will be put up in coils on cards bearing two fishes, the trade-mark of the manufacturers, who do not sell lines in their own name, as they market all of their goods through the jobbers. The braided silk lines called Saline, and sold under the trade-mark mentioned during the past year, are also treated under Mr. Hyde's patent, and were useo. in fresh water with success. Quite recently Saline enamel finish silk lines for use in salt water have been made, and it is my good fortune to own one. The claim of its makers, that it is absolutely un- affected by any alkaline substance, and will stand the ocean water as well as any fresh water, is a very- strong one, hut after using one of these lines for a week I ljke it very much. Mine is size *H," and it was used in salt water where there is much vege- table matter. Water does not affect the line at all, unless it improves it in casting. It is more flexible than an ordinary enamelled line, picks up no foreign matter, and runs off the reel smoothly without ball- ing up. One thing I have noticed, is the extreme sensitiveness of this line, the strike of a fish being communicated to the angler's hand very plainly through it. I hope it will wear well, for a line at. small as this, which can be used in salt or fresh wa- ter, should prove a treasure. GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. Waterproofing Silk Lines. — Not long ago I referred t.~ some experiments I had made in attempts to wa- terproof soft braided silk dines. Up to that time I was not very well satisfied with the results, but since then I have used several silk and linen lines saturated for a brief time in a solution of paraffh. and benzine, and am quite sure they have been im- Hunting in Shasta County. — Notwithstanding the deer shooting season is near its close knowing sportsmen are still getting bucks an 1 enjoyint, healthful outings. A recent trip to the far recesses of the mountainous country of Shasta county made by a party of local sportsmen and associate?, was a revelation in the nature of shooting and fishing pos- sibilities to be found in a seldom visited district. D. M. Hanlon and Frank P. Sheldon of this ctij and Charles E. Mayfield, George Nelson and F. E. Shields of Suisun made up a party of hunters who three weeks ago enjoyed a ten days' hunt in the mountains that was a memorable outing in many respects. The party journeyed to Castella by train, where they met Charles Loftus. an experienced mountain guide, who provided saddle horses and pack mules. Leaving Castilla early one morning the cavalcade followed the "Tom Neil Trail" and made camp at 1:30 p. m., near the junction of Squaw am. Tom Neil Creek, which streams were found to bo teeming with splendid trout of good size. The party made a stay of three days, enjoying the grand fishing to the utmost. On the advice of the guide hunting -was postponed until another location, in the heart of the rough country, fifteen miles east of Squaw creek was reached. The guide promised when that point was reached to provide a plethora of deer and bear hunting. Near the first camp many does and fawns were seen but bucks were too wary to show up to any extent. A slight tinge of excitement was vouchsafed the campers, for bear tracks were discovered all about the camp each morning, showing that bruin had scented the camp pots and had been nightly prowling for food scraps. The hunters broke camp on the morning of the fourth day and struck out over an exceedingly rough country, ignoring trails and working east fifteen miles when a new camp was pitched in a hunting district that came up to the guide's laudatory description. The next morning Mayfield made the first kill. *. large eight-point buck, Nelson evened matters by bagging a 250 pound black bear. Four big bucks and eight does were seen the first day. The following day Dan Hanlon dropped a fair sized buck and Shel- don and Mayfield worked their repeating rifles un- successfully at one of the largest black bears the guide had ever seen in that section. Sheldon claims the bear was large as a Pullman car. On the last day of the hunt the hunters saw and jumped more deer than any of them had ever seen before. The country seemed to be alive with venison. Sheldon, Nelson and Mayfield each killed a buck. The party were soon satiated with deer hunting and had as much venison as they wanted, taking the suells out of their rifles they returned to camp not wishing to wantonly kill deer they could not use. Seventeen bucks were counted at different times standing and watching the hunters, none of the ani- mals were over 310 yards distant, a number of these deer could have easily been killed. Having but one mule for packing out the venison, it would have been wasteful slaughter to have dropped any more bucks. One of the deer Sheldon killed had eleven points. Quail and grouse were very plentiful in the section visited, but were unmolested as the season for shoot- ing these birds is not open until October 15. Mr. Hanlon states that the hunting territory visit- ed is one of the best combined fishing and hunting districts it has ever been his good fortune to get into. Shark Fishing a Honolulu Sport. One of Honolulu's most exciting pastimes is shark fishing. Large sharks abound off Honolulu Harbor, and a party of fishermen may usually count on bring- ing back one or two sea monsters from eight to fourteen feet long by going three of four miles from shore. The fish may either be harpooned or hooked, the latter method being the easier. The harpooning is more dangerous and more difficult. The shark fishers need a small launch, a dead horse, some harpoons or hooks, and some large caliber rifles. The horse is sometimes killed a day or tw-o before the expedition, as sharks are supposed to like their horse meat "high." This is not necessary, however, and is not advisable, for there is no special pleasure in dragging through the harbor a horse that has been dead long enough to really resent it. The horse is tied at the end of a rope and left to float about sixty feet away from the launch out in the open sea, and then the wait for sharks begins. A shark will usually show up in a very short time. At a distance of sixty feet he is a long green object of indefinite outlines. He approaches the dead horse slowly, until a few feet away, and then veers off to one side and disappears. But he always returns. Over and over again, sometimes for an hour, he will circle about the dead animal, seeming to be as suspic- ious as any fox. "While the shark is making these repeated investi- gations the bait is slowly drawn toward the boat. Some interesting glimpses of the shark are obtainable during this process. He will slowly glide through the water up to the food, and then suddenly turn on one side and take a bite. If it is close enough one gets an idea of what he can do in the biting line. In an ex- pedition last month dogs were used as bait, as a horse was not obtainable. Within three feet of the fishers on the boat a huge shark turned, opened his jaws, and seized the dog. A large dead dog was tied to the rope. There was a wriggle of the huge green-looklnp- oody, a splash of surface water and the shark moved on. The dog was bitten clean in half. When harpooning is to be done, the bait is drawn gradually closer until the shark comes rig.n up to the boat. The harpoon is plunged into him and battle be- gins. The shark will plunge for deep water and tow the boat at a rapid pace. His strength is extraordi- nary, and the fight is sure to be a long one. There is nothing for it but to tire him out, and the only way to do this is to let him struggle as he will. Gradually he is drawn nearer and nearer to the boat, and soon he is hauled to the surface in a condition approach- ing exhaustion. Then the rifles come into play, but at the first shot he will often carry the harpoon and rope off with him again and repeat the fight. There is a spot under the gills, where the main artery is located, where a fatal wound can be in- flicted with a large rifle bullet, but shooting In a rocking small boat is nit likely to be accurate, and the spot is seldom reached until after firing several shots. , The sharks are more easily hooked than harpooned. From the side of the boat they may be seen swim- ming about below. The use of a box with a glass bottom makes possible a splendid view of them. On the occasion already referred to the other half of the bitten dog was placed on a large hook and let down among them. Through the glass a huge shark was seen slowly to approach, turn, and seize the bait. In some way or other the hook failed to catch, and the shark let go when the rope was jerked. But he back and seized it again. Two men pulling as - 10 ©lie greener axii> &povtatnax\ [September 30, 1905 U* five rows o7sword teeth.

Finally he was forced to stop and bay his pursuers on the little point of rock in which the ridge terminated. He stood them off, as we could ascertain from the noise until we rode up; then, preferring a leap of thirty feet to the -ulch below to running the gauntlet of his new ene- mies, he vanished over the edge of the rim rock, to our unbounded astonishment. The dogs thus thwarted a second time ran wildly about m their frantic endeavors to find a way over the edge to the gulch bottom.

He was identified with them from their inception. He judged at the show of the Illinois State Sportsman's Association, held in Chicago, 111., June 4, 1S74, said to be the first bench show of record held in America. From that time till his demise, he was conspicuously identified with the competitive features of the canine world. Concerning his official acts as judge, many anec- dotes have been told of his sharp wit. One in partic- ular, enjos'ed by bench show devotees, has been cher- ished for the directness with which it closed an in- cident.

After describing the discovery of the track of the lion, and the sending of the dogs on to find the I the writer proceeds: I have seen and par- 1 in rides after the hounds, both in the East and West, where the only danger was to be appre- hended from beneath; but when one has to watch both ground and air. and to aodge the attacks of a labyrinth of protruding branches, as well as keeping a firm seat, the difference between fox hunting and lion hunting is marked. We must have ridden three miles through thickets and over fallen trees, some- times getting oft and leading where the descent was too precipitous, before we came within hearing of the dogs Now and then a long quavering bay reached our ears, but it was not until we had crossed the lasl ridge ana were riding down into the gulch bot- tom that the clamour of the dogs broke plainly on the wintry air; and this time, instead of notes long drawn out, II sounded quick and sharp, a perfect babel of angry sounds. L'pon hearing our approach the dogs oubled their noise. Before coming within sight of them we dismounted, hobbled our horses, and softly advanced, taking care to keep hidden among the trees, for fear the Hon would jump at sight of us; rary to the general opinion, mountain lions rds, and fear man above all things. Sure enough, there, some 30 feet above ground, bracing himself amongst the topmost branches of the green cedar, crouched the "great cat," complacently eyeing the dogs beneath, and occasionally Riving an angry spit that only made them rage the fiercer.

He suffered a brief illness. Death was caused by heart failure consequent to a severe cold contracted at Toronto recently. He was seventy- eight years old. Probably no man was more widely known in the canine world than was John Davidson. He was fa- mous in both Europe and America as an all-round bench show judge of cattle, a breeder and trainer of bird dogs, an expert field shot, and a writer of no mean attainments on such subjects of dog and gun as appealed to his fancy or interest. He was a Scotchman by birth, and possessed many of the characteristics for which that race Is famous- good common sense, a dry and sometimes caustic humor, the moral courage to utter his beliefs in the any opposition and the physical courage to stand by them as long as need be. Many there were who thought that he had violent, unieasoning preju- dices against what he did not approve and which they did approve, but there is no doubt in the mind of the writer — who knew him well— that his uncompromis- ing attitude on many subjects was due to firm con- thai he was right. His acts were always con- , with his beliefs. There was nothing artificial him, no affectation of manner nor frills of . iL While he was courteous of speech and manner, he to eschew all evasion, or insincerity or stand play; in business or pleasure.

Dr. O. F. Britton of the Indianapolis Gun Club, one' of the best and most popular of the older generation of shooters, made a most remarkable score on the Indianapolis Gun Club grounds September 9th, break- ing 117 straight from the IS and 19 yard marks. This not only proves that Dr. Britton has not lost his cun- ning, but also that Peters factory loaded shells are perfection itself. Some excelent scores were made with Peters shells at the Trinidad tournament, September 4th, 5th and 6th. In the free for all handicap, one of the main events of the tournament, Mr. Wm. Veach of Falls City, Neb., tied with two others on a score of 97 from the' 19 yard mark In the first shoot off, Mr. Veach broke 20 straight and in the second again scored 20 straight, making a total of 137 out of 140, all from the 19 yard line. Inasmuch as Mr. Veach, by virtue of this score, won a handsome S75 watch, it mas7 be as- sumed that he will know when it is time to order his next lot of Peters Ideals. At Austin. Texas, September 9th, Mr. "Wallace R. Miller, shooting Peters Ideal shells, loaded with 3 dr. of powder and 1% oz. of shot, broke 9S out of 100. Mr. L.

Mr. Reid uses Peters regular factory loac7s No. D167 V2 ch. At York, Pa., September 4th and 5th, the high average was won by Mr. E. C. Hummer, and high ex- pert average by Mr Neaf Apgar, both using Peters factory loaded shells. At Montgomery, Alabama, September 4th, a good crowd of shooters took part in a program composed of a number of target and live bird events. Mr. Louis T. Spinks, representing the Peters Cartridge Company, and shooting Peters factory loaded shells, killed 34 straight in the live bird matches, being the only straight score, and also led in the target events.

The inanimate target tournament given by the Medford, Oregon, Gun Club, on September 22d and 23d, proved to be a most enjoyable affair and well at- tended. As usual shooters of Winchester products carried off all the honors of the tournament. The first high expert average for the opening day wras cap- tured by W. R. Crosby, score 197 out of the possible 200. The second high average was tied for between Fred Gilbert and C. M. Powers, on 195 out of the possible 200. The longest straight run on the first day was made by Fred Gilbert and was 154 consecutive breaks. The second longest run. 117. was made by W. R. Crosby. Ah\ above made by shooters using the Winchester "Leader" shells. The longest straight run on the second day was made by Fred Gilbert. 127 consecutive breaks, while W. R. Crosby ran 102 straight on the same day. The first and second high expert averages for the entire tournament were made by W. R. Crosby and Fred Gilbert, while the high amateur average was carried off by C. N. Powers. Crosby 394 out of 400, Gilbert 392 out of 400, Powers 386 out of 400 Messrs. Crosby. Gilbert and Powers always shoot the reliable and time tried Winchester "Leader" shells, the only kind to shoot if you want to be on the top at the end of a tournament. It was the same old story repeated at the Portland, Oregon, shoot, September 24th. The shooters that used Winchester goods again carried off all the hon- ors. In the 100 target event,, known traps, unknown angles, H. C. Hirschy, shooting a Winchester "Pump" gun and Winchester "Leader" shells, was the high gun with 97. Fred Gilbert, also shooting "Winchester "Leader" shells, was second with a score of 96, while W. R. Crosby, shooting the "Leader" shells, and W. H. Seaver, shooting a Winchester "Pump" gun and "Leader" shells, tied on third place with the score of 9 eac5h. In the Globe Trophy event, which covers known as well as unknown angles, regular and reverse pull, and double bird shooting, Fred Gilbert was the high man with the splendid score of 48 out of a pos- sible 0.5 W. R. Crosby was second high with 46. Seaver third high with 44 Hirschy fourth high with 42. All the above gentlemen shooting "Leader" shells, and in connection Messrs. Seaver and Hirschy used Winchester "Pump" guns. The twenty-five target event, unknown angles, re- versed pull, was also won by shooters that shot the "Leader" shells. The only two perfect scores of 25 straight in this event were made by Fred Gilbert and W. H. Seaver. Out of the 175 regular targets shot at, as mentioned above, Mr. Gilbert scored 169, Messrs. Crosby and Seaver 164 each, while Mr. Hirschy had 160 breaks to his credit. These were the high scores for the day, and were made with the well known Winchester "Leader" shells.

There naturally is a good deal of interest just now as to the out- come of what may develop within the next thirty days. The corn crop usually is the important factor, but cheap corn and cheap feeder cattle should produce cheap beef, and this should not materially change the situ- ation with the feeder, so far as profit in feeding is concerned. The producer of cattle is on the anx- ious seat all through the grazing sea- son. He is concerned lest the season fail to bring forth acceptable growing conditions to provide an abundance of summer feed to fatten the cattle He is concerned lest the feeder demand be cut short, owing to lack of corn crop in the corn belt or some other discour- aging feature of the breeding business, check the enthusiasm of the buyer of this class of cattle and thus create a poor market for a large per cent of the young steers that annually are shipped from the range to fill this de- mand as feed yard stock. The time of shipment is also a mat- ter to be studied and finally guessed at, whether to ship early or before the great bulk of cattle goes out or to hold off to the later period, get an ad- ditional gain of thirty or sixty days and take the chance of a decline, which usually follows through heavy ship- ments. The feeder on the other hand has an equally difficult problem to solve and eventually enters into the proposition upon more or less of a guess or speculative basis, when he begins to size up and forecast the fat cattle market four to eight months in advance. The early buying of feeder cattle is based upon a short feed, the finishing of an acceptable quality of beef to bridge over the periol be- tween the winding up of the grass — fat shipment from the ranges—and the feed yard cattle started on the new crop of corn. The assurance of a big feed crop of both fodder and grains, especially hay and corn, is made the basis of estimate by both the cattle grower and the feed- er in the matter of purchase and sale of the feed yard grades of cattle. One of the most important features enter- ing into the cattle feeling proposition is quality of stock. The higher the quality of the animal, whether it comes from the range as a yearling or two- year-old, in feeder form, or as a grass- fat three-year-old the more certain it is to find a ready purchaser. Quality in beef production is being more close- ly studied each year by the feeder and fat cattle buyer. — G. W. Heney. POULTRY NOTES. A sucessful incubator man says he still prefers a cellar for his machine. His methods are fresh eggs and regu- lar attention to machine. Turkey diseases are caused by over- feeding, lack of grit, lice, stagnant pools of water, feeding after swine, and exposure to cold rains. If a hen has proven an exceptionally good sitter and mother, keep her over until next hatching season, though she does not lay an egg. Watch out for trouble on the score of lice. They are getting ready now for business wdien the fowls are con- fined later to close quarters. Guinea eggs have a delicious flavor for ice cream, invalids, etc. The flesh is gamey. The birds live in the fields, destroying insects, but never scratch- ing. Plenty of milk for fowls to drink will increase egg production 10 per cent. But keep wrater dishes going, too; because hens like a change from one drink to the other. Clean the milk receptacles often. Don't feed too much corn to growing chicks. Rather give them food that will make bone, muscle and vigor, with just enough carbonaceous food to keep them in good condition, but not fat. Some writers advise mixing grit with soft feed for the fowls and chicks. This is not at all necessary, as they will pick up all the grit they need if it Is kept where they can have access to it. When the brooding hen refuses to voluntarily return to her coop at night, but squats outside, you can be pretty sure that the coop is either fearfully lousy, filthy or close, or perhaps all three. Investigate. A bird that is either very thin or overfat, is not a good breeder, what- ever its excellence in shape and color. The breeding bird needs be in such vigorous condition that its' chicks may make a good strong start in life. STOCK NOTES. Treatment of Heaves — In all cases of heaves it is desirable to change the ration for a time and all water given before eating. All food should be wet with lime water and if considerable hay is used this should be well mois- tened before being fed. Use care in keeping the stall and manger free from anything which will create dust and have the stable well ventilated at all times. As a 'medicine give the horse one-half ounce doses of a solution of arsenic night and morning. This can be obtained at any drug store. An ordinary case of heaves will succumb to this treatment, but in bad cases add ounce doses of glyco-heroin, giving three times daily in the mouth, using a syringe. If the combined treatment does not complete the cure the case is hopeless. A very simple arrangement will fur- nish lots of comfort for hogs when made into a shade. Some pens are like ovens. Some farmers use calf raising as one of their sources of revenue. It is one of the profitable ways in which to dis- pose of skim milk. Sometimes it pays to take a fresh start. The whole herd may be sold, and a new stock purchased, or new breeders may be obtained. The stock raiser who can find a lo- cality adapted to his business, and get a foothold there, had better stav. Every time he makes a move he loses time, and oftimes loses money. There is no doubt but that some good horses fail to bring a good price because they are not shown to good advantage, and are not fitted for mar- ket. The young mother sow needs to be let alone for the first twenty-four hours. She does not need even water, unless she comes out for it. Feeding should be undertaken gradually. Raising fancy horses is always full of risk A slight scar which would de- preciate their value very much would scarcely injure a draft horse at all. Farmers would better raise less ex- pensive horses. Concerning the wool trade, last week's American Wool and Cotton Re- porter said: The wool market con- tinues in a healthy condition although trade is not active, the sale of the past week being the smallest recorded for some time past But there is consider- able business pending and the outlook is regarded as very satisfactory. The London sales are expected to open with prices fully sustained on all grades es- pecially on merinos, which some mem- bers of the trade expect to see quoted higher, and the development of the goods market are such as lead to the belief that a good healthy worsted business is to continue with prospects of an improving demand for woolens later. Prices are strong, and for low wools there is a slightly better in- quiry than there was. Further evi- dence that the outlook is regarded as a reassuring one with reference to do- mestic wools is furnished in the action of certain representative members of the wool trade who are contracting 1906 wools in Montana, Wyoming and Utah. In Montana 22c is being paid for next year's wools. The flavor of hen's eggs is declare! by an English medical man to be very materially affected by food. When thu hens act as scavengers their eggs are made unfit to eat, but a diet of sun- flower seeds produces remarkably fine and sweet eggs. 12 3#t£ gteeiwv cwb gipartsntcm [September 30, SOME POINTERS ABOUT MILK- ING. It is not every one who milks cows that knows how. After having tried all the methods on the 50,000 or more cows I've milked, I have about come he conclusion that I can get the milk from a cow with as much ease and convenience to myself and com- fort to the cow as any one, writes A. in Kimball's Dairy Farmer. The first consideration is the ana- tomical construction of the udder. Many do not know that the teals are in pairs. The two front quarters are seldom of the same capacity or for- mation as the hind quarters of the udder. The tei.ts on those quarters differ I've seen milkers take a front and hind teat either both on same side or diagonally across. I was taught that way. but soon found that they didn't come out even. Very generally the hind quarters give the most milk, and the front teats are larger and milk out faster than the hind teats, so the result is uneven. I've seen the new method of milk- ing published in different papers late- ly. The manipulations seem com- plicated, but they are not. They dif- fer only slightly from the method I've followed for a few years. In the first place. I milk as near twelve hours apart as I can. Tho cows expect relief at that time and are uneasy if not milked on time. When I drop my stool beside a cow she steps over it, or If not I put a finger on her and she takes her posi- tion. I never say "get over there — now hist." A touch of the finger does the whole business of getting the right position. With a wet cloth I wipe off the ud- der and teats after brushing loose bed- ding and dirt from the belly and legs. This manipulation is sufficient to start the milk. As I rub I begin with the back teat because they are generally short and when full of milk difficult to get hold of. Besides, I prefer to strip, if that has to be done, when my grip is rest- ed, then change when tired to a full hand grip on the front teats. By get- ting hold of the back teats just as the cow begins to let the milk come you can get and maintain a better grip than to wait till the back quarters are full of milk and the teats reduced in length by the pressure of milk. Still another reason is that the cow wants relief from the back quarters first. They are squeezed by her legs, they give the most, and she is restless till they are emptied, at least partially. When tired of milking or stripping the short hind teats I go to the front ones and then back to the others if necessary for rest of muscles. After getting all I can in the ordi- nary way, I then reach up with thumb and forefinger of left hand and squeeze the milk from the cisterns of each quarter and force it from the teat with the right hand. This is easy when one gets used to it. It takes out every drop of milk and does not hurt the cow. It does away with the strip, strip, dribble of the common method. The exceptions to this rule are these: A cow may have a sore hind teat. By Warranted to Give Satisfaction. Gombault's Caustic Balsam Has Imitators But No Competitors.

TELEPHONE MAIN 427 THE NEWCOMB LIVERY george w. oegood, proprietor. 120-122 SOUTH FOURTH STREET, Quincy, III , May 12, 1905. Some twelve months ago I owned a horse which was practically worthless, due to a very bad Bone Spavin on his right hind leg. I tried various remedies without Buccess, finally purchasing from the Miller & Arthur Drug Co. of this city a bottle of "Save-the-Horse." After using one-half the contents of the bottle, according to instructions, the horse has never taken a lame step. I would gladly have sold him for twenty-five dollars before using "Save-the- Horse." I have sold him since for ninety dollars, and would not be without "Save-the-Horse" at double the cost. GEORGE W. OSGOOD. Adam Brinker, Chairman. O. L. Peysert, .

ICTOBER 7, 1905] r California breeders that the horses are not to be jld in this State, as it will be a loss to our breeding iterests to have all these valuable animals sold in the tast. NOCTURXO 2:26, the handsome black stallion pic- | ired on our front page this week, is owned by Editor . A Westgate of the Albany, Ore., Herald, a gentle - an who as one of the directors of the State Agri- lltural Society of Oregon did much to place that stitution in the high position it now occupies as fie of the great State fairs of the West.

Noc- irno was a prize winner at the Lewis & Clark live ock exhibition at Portland last week and his daugh- r Moonlight Belle and son Marillo both won first their classes. Moonlight Belle also took champion- tip honors, and was pronounced by the judges as irfect a filly as they had seen anywhere. OWNERS OF THOROUGHBREDS will read with terest the advertisement of the New California >ckey Club stakes for the racing season of 1905 and '06, which appears in this issue. The stakes are the chest ever offered on the Pacific Coast and the ;gular overnight purses are increased over what ley have been in former years. Racing is to be held : all three of the tracks owned by the club this sea- >n, and horsemen are confidently predicting the PACIFIC BREEDERS' FUTURITY is announced. It is for the foals of mare bred this year and its value is guaranteed to be $7000 by the Pacific Coast Horse Breeders" Association. Many of the best posted horsemen in California predict that within the next three years harness racing will be so revived in this State that the California circuit will be one of the best circuits held anywhere, and the value of the purses and stakes will be increased considerably over what they have averaged in recent years. It therefore behooves every breeder to have his colts well staked and this stake being one of the most important of those given in California should secure your entry. The stake will close for the nomination of mares on December 1st. See the advertisement in this issue. BRIGHTON BEACH STAKE EVENTS for the sea- son of 1906-1907 close on Monday next, October 9th. To be run in 1906 for two-year-olds now yearlings, are the Brighton Junior of $15,000, the Neptune of $7500 and the Venus, for fillies, of $7500 To be run in 1907 for three-year-olds now yearlings are the Brighton Derby of $15,000, the Queen, for mares and fillies, of $7500. and the Iroquois of $7500. See th-3 advertisement in this issue and don't forget that Mon- day next is the date of closing. SHERIFF SMITH of Mendocino county did the proper thing when he shut down all the illicit gam- bling games that were started up in Ukiah during the race meeting this week. There is no reason why a lot of tin horn gamblers should have any more right to break the laws of the State during a race meeting than during a camp meeting. SAN FRANCISCO DRIVING CLUB RACES. The San Francisco Driving Club will hold a meeting at the Santa Rosa track on Sunday, October 15th. Four races are on the program as follows: First race, 2:20 class — D. Leiginger's Ring Rose. J. O'Kane's King V., Geo. Algeo's Mixer, Joe Cuicello's Welladay, T. Cabney's Bob Ingersol. Second race, free for all — A. Schwartz's Clara L . M. Donnelly's Flora G.. C. Lacari's Charley J.. Y. Yerilhac's Gertie A.. A. Hoffman's Kitty D. Third race. 2:40 class — J. Frediana's Lulu F.. J. Paulsen's Schilling's Best, D. Seibert's Ed Rea, W. O'Kane's Bay Ike, R. Miller's Senator Hearst. Fourth race. 2:25 class — J. Pastene's Billy F. Max Levy's Cash, C. Becker's Dan Alden, C. Faulkson's Dexter Wilkes, J. Lawlor Jr.'s Grace McKinney, C. Mitchell's N. L. B., J. Holland's Headlight. The second race is a sweepstakes, each owner put- ting up $100, the club adding $200. and the totalisator people, who will handle the betting, adding a certain percentage of the amount handled. This will make the race worth at least $S00, all of which will go to the. winner. The action of the club in securing the totalisator for its betting instead of the books, is commendable. The racing will start at 12 o'clock sharp so that it will be finished in time for San Francisco visitors to catch the afternoon train for home. The judges will be Messrs. Murray, Benson ami Lauterwasser. and the timeTs Messrs. Coons and Deschler, all members of the club. The starter will be W.J. Kenney, the well known bike, manufacturer. Frank Turner, lessee of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm track, has agreed to furnish a chicken dinner at 25 cents each for all who attend. LOS ANGELES DRIVING CLUB ELECTION. The annual meeting of the Los Angeles Driving Club was held last Monday evening. Reports of the out- going officers showed there was $1,448.72 in the treas- ury, and 102 new members with which to start the new year. A. W. Bruner was elected secretary for the ensuing year, which was the only change made in the list of officials. Dr. William Dodge was elected president to succeed himself, wmile C. A. Canfield was re-elected vice pres- ident. L. J. Christopher, the treasurer, holds the same office in the Los Angeles Harness Horse Asso- ciation. Following are the directors who were chosen: Dr. Charles W. Bryson, Henry N. Henderson, Ed J. De- lorey, George A. Pounder. Dr. W. A. Connelly, Henry Berry and J. A. Fairchild. The president, vice presi- dent, secretary and treasurer of the club are ex-officio members of the board. The colt stake gotten up last year for three-year-old colts bred in Yolo and Solano counties was won at Woodland last Saturday by Carey Montgomery's colt Chaser by Diablo. The only other starter was Col. Crawford's colt Colonel C. Chaser won in straight heats. The time was 2:43%, 2:42% and 2:35%. $140 went to the winner and $90 to the second colt. SUCCESSFUL MEETING AT HOLLISTER. The meeting given at the Hollister mile track last week was one of the most successful ever held in San Benito county. The racing was clean and while no sensational time w;as made during the four days' racing a number of heats were trotted and paced in standard time. Purses were paid promptly and in full, and all the horsemen who took part in the sport speak in the highest praise of the officials of the Hol- lister Association who had charge of the meeting. The Ward Totalisator was used for the betting and gave great satisfaction. It was well patronized. The summaries: Sept. 27 — Pacing, 2:30 class, purse $150.

M THAT THE YEAR 1905 may be remembered as the when the blue laws and the elements seemed combined to stop harness racing, by the official pro- hibition of pool selling at some of the principal tracks .»nd heavy rain storms of several days duration at others, now conies the news that the Memphis meet- » has been declared off owing to the fact that the a etropolis is in strict quarantine against the outside world on account of yellow fever which is _ in the States south of that point. This is a infortunate condition of affairs. The Memphis meeting has been the climax of the Grand Circuit since Messrs Jones. Billings and others built the _ flcent track there and placed Murray Howe in charge of it ;is secretary and manager. Great racing and record breaking performances have been the rule -very year, and horsemen all over the country and turf writers as well, have come to the habit of re- fraining from forming opinions as to' the greatest troters and pacers of the year until Memphis had been heard from. Last winter the Tennessee Legislature, realizing the great evil that was being done the breeding interests of the State by the bookmaking running meetings and pestiferous pool rooms, passed a racing law which would abolish them within the confines of the State. Recognizing the fact, however, that the Memphis trotting meeting was not in the same class with these tracks, yet knowing that for constitutional reasons it could not be separated there- from, a proviso was made in the law that it should not take effect until December 1st. this year, or after the Memphis trotting meeting was to be held, and the hope was expressed that before another year passed the State constitution could be so amended that the law could discriminate between the two. That dreaded scourge, the yellow fever, has made a strict quarantine imperative, however, and there will be no meeting at Memphis this fall. STAR POINTER 1:59*4, the first horse to prove that two minute speed for a mile was not impossible for a harness horse, will, as was stated in the Breeder and Sportsman several weeks ago. make the season of 1906 in California. That he will have a very large number of high class mares sent to his harem is cer- tain. California breeders have the reputation and a deserved one. of knowing a good thing when they see it. and the most prominent and successful amongst them are only waiting for Star Pointer to arrive to book their mares. Charley DeRyder. who has been trainer for James Butler's East View Farm horses at Pieasanton for two winters and who has driven the Grand Circuit members of the string in all their races during that time, has secured a lease of Star Pointer for two years. Star Pointer is now sixteen years old but strong and vigorous, and according to Casper Redfield's theory just coming to his best as a sire as he has had road work ever since he quit racing, and his development has never been stopped. He is owned by William White, proprietor of the Two Min- ute Stock Farm, near Cleveland, Ohio. It was on August 28th, 1897, that Star Pointer astonished the world by pacing a mile in 1:59% over the Readville track and the two minute horse was a reality. Among the leading California breeders to hear of the coming of Star Pointer to this Stat-', was Mr. Martin Carter, proprietor of the Nutwood Stock Farm, the gentle- man who bred John A. McKerron 2:04% and many other fast one?. Mr. Carter has probably bred to more "outside"' stallions than any stock farm owner in California, and on his farm at Irvington there are tillits and colts by nearly every high class horse that has made a season in California during the past ten He has already selected a few of his choice to breed to Star Pointer when his California season opens and the blood of the famous Hal tribe will soon be on the farm to mix with that of Director, Nul vt od, Bled ioneer, Geo. Wilkes, Stamboul, Stein- M< Kinney.

This was additional glory for Zombro. do that so he can trot a mile in 2:15 in thirty days from the time I take him." Well, time wore along and I worked the horse a mile in 2:22%. Finally Van Bokkelen got the horse to train on a sale deal. The day after getting him of course he had to change his shoes a little and then he tried him the following day. He did not go just to suit Van so he changed his shoes again and again until he had him in his stable 36 days, and on Sat- urday last worked him out a mile in 2:32*6. He noticed everyone around looking for that fast mile, and could not go on the track without someone hold- ing a watch on him. He was six days overtime and the mile in 2:15 had not materialized. In the after- noon Billy Montgomery, one of my grooms, was walking by Van's stalls, when the latter called him over and said: "Billy, did you ever know Bondette (meaning the Boodle horse) to be lame or sore over the kidneys?" "No;" says Billy, "I never knew him to be sore or lame in his life." Well, sir;" said Van," rI have handled a great many Boodles, but this is the first one I could not balance, so I examined him this afternoon after his work and I found he has only one kidney, the other being entirely gone." It is expected that Murray Howe will get permis- sion from Van to use this excuse in all future editions of his famous book.

Salva is two years- old and is owned by Ed. Wright, a farmer who broke and drove Salva himself, driving her mostly on the road, as the track was not fit to drive on until thirty days before the races. Salva never worked a mile until five days prior to the meeting. She is level-headed, a big. strong filly, and moves like her sire, strong and steady, and like a piece of machinery. She won her race in straight heats in a jog at the finish in 2:33%, 2:33% and 2:2S. Salva has paced quarters in 34% seconds and could have been driven five or six seconds faster than the time she made in the last heat, al- though the track was heavy and slow for a pacer. Mr. Wright had two offers of $500 and one of $600 for her. He asksr $1000, with a prospective buyer. With an experienced trainer and proper handling she should make a very fast and valuable animal. She won the admiration of everybody. Her sire, Dic- tatus Medium, is owned by Mr. R. P. Lathrop of Hol- lister, and is by Dictatus 2:17 out of Belle Medium, the dam of Stam B. 2:11*4. He has great promise as a sire of extreme speed. That colt trotters produce colt trotters is getting to be a pretty well established fact. Last Tuesday Miss Adbell. daughter of the champion yearling trot- ter Adbell 2:23, won the Kentucky Futurity and took a record of 2.09%, beating the favorites Sadie N. and Katherine L. That Adbell would sire early and extreme speed has never been doubted by breeders and his death was one of the severe losses to the trotting horse breeding industry. He was foaled in 1S93 and was by Advertiser 2:15 (son of Electioneer and Lulu Wilkes) out of Beautiful Bells, greatest of brood mares. Up to the close of last year Adbell was the sire of ten standard performers, all youngsters, and this year six more of his get have entered the list. Adbell made his record at San Jose in a match against Father Time. He had started in actual races twice that year previous to this performance, once at San Francisco, where he won the mile dash for yearlings in 2 : 28, beating Gen. Caution by Caution, Cleopatra by Silver Bow, Steel Spring by Pilot Prince and Rosie Woodburn by Easter Wilkes, and again at Woodland, where the mile was made in 2:26, and he beat Eureka by Ira and Rosie Woodburn. When he trotted to the world's record of 2:23. a mark that has never been beaten, he was driven by Walter Maben and the late Frank W. Covey, superintendent of Palo Alto Stock Farm, drove the runner that accompanied the colt. He trotted the first half in 1:12 and the last in 1:1-1, and Walter Maben said on dismounting from the sulky that he could have driven the mile a second or two faster, but he wanted the mile to be made without a skip or a break. Miss Adbell is well bred on her dam's side, but not in what would be called fashionable lines. Her dam, Emma T.. had a trotting record of 2:17% and was foaled in 1SS7, getting her record in 1S94 when she was seven years old. She was fifteen years old when she produced Miss Adbell. Emma T. was by Socrates 2S7, a son of Hambletonian 10, foaled in 1866. and therefore 20 years old when he sired Emma T. The dam of Socrates was Lady Fallis by American Star 14. who produced Kisbar 2:27% and Pickering ™:30 and was the dam of the producing sires Norwood, Kisbar, Pickering and Socrates. Lady Fallis was the gran- dam of < 'lingstone 2: 14 and three others including the stallion Fallis by Electioneer. Fallis is the sire nf Bradtmoor, Don Marvin and Falrose, all producing sires. The second dam of Miss Adbell is Patsey Labor by Abdallah Pilot 70S. Abdallah Pilot was a son of Abdallah 15, and out of Blandina by Mambrino Chief. Blandina had six producing sons including Swigert, King Rene and others. Blandina also produced Bar- '■ena. a great broodmare and dam of Bertha, the dam of Don Derby 2:04%, Owyho 2:07%, Diablo 2:09%, Demonlo 2:11% and others. The third dam of Miss Adbell is Lizzie by Austerlitz. an own brother to the famous horse Lodi, whose races with Norfolk are remembered by all California horsemen. It is inter- estlng to know that the winner of this year's Ken- tucky Futurity is by a California bred stallion and 1 i! her dam's side she is related to such dis- tinguished and well known horses as Fallis.

Several weeks ago considerable stir was caus among horsemen by press dispatches sent out fr< Columbus, which stated that at a matinee there, Se 1, the unmarked four-year-old filly Easter Dire had paced a public mile in 2:03%. The time was extraordinary that most people were inclined to incredulous. I was one of them, but I am so longer, for I have verified the performance by t testimony of a number of good men who timed This is the fastest public or private trial ever ma. by a green pacer. Her Grace held the honors pre iously, she having paced at Memphis last fall 2:04%. Easter Direct is owned by E. A. Gammon, of Com, land, Cal.. and is controlled by Ed Mills who ow Searchlight 2:03%. Mr. Mills broke her in the sun mer of 1904 in California and in six weeks drove t a mile in 2:25. In January of this year she w turned over to Ira Goodrich, the young man w brought out Tuna, 2:08% and Brilliant Girl. Goo rich tells me that on May 10, at Pieasanton. Cal., worked her a mile in 2:08%, and at Detroit one 2:07%. She was sick for several weeks in mid-seas and was let up on for the time being. She is a go looking brown filly, standing about 15.2 hands, ar. like all her famous family, is posessed of a lot substance — a stout full made one. Her front sho weigh five ounces each and in addition she wears two-ounce toe weight. Quarter and ankle boots cor plete her rigging. Mr. Mills stated that she wou return to California in a few weeks to winter ai will be raced in the big stakes in 1906. Many of the best horses on the circuit have goi wrong and are out of it. An exception to this chaj ter of misfortunes is the fast mare Zephyr 2:07 When she started her campaign at Windsor it w. common remark that she wouldn't last three week But she has improved steadily and now looks like 2:06 trotter on good footing. I believe had she bet sound all season it would have taken a Sweet Mar to measure her. The East View Farm has sustained all manner bad luck this season. The fast three -year- old tro ter, The Phantom, got off after reaching the Ea from Pieasanton, but later rounded to and becan right good. Charley DeRyder had hopes of winnir a piece of the Review and Kentucky Futurities wit him, but after reaching Columbus the colt was takt; with a high fever. He may not be able to race i either of these events. Helen Norte 2:09% is a new addition to the 2:: list. She hails from Walla Walla, Wash., and wa bred and is owned by Judge Thomas H.

Rutherford tells me that sh was laid up after racing this spring at Denver, and i just now getting her strength back. She sustained mild case of "founder" in the Mountain city, and fc a long time had to be let up. The great race mare Anzella 2:06% foaled a fill by John A. McKerron 2:04% last week. Isn't it un fortunate that it was not a colt? Every visitor t Pat Shank's farm, where McKerron holds court, tell the same story about the foals by him out of M) Billings' mares. All are enthusiastic. The horses of Mr. Billings' stable are ■ in super condition, excepting, of course, Lou Dillon 1:58^ who has been ailing all season. Lou is being jogge and little has been done with her since her appear1 ance at Chicago during the Inter-City matinee. Th track there was in wretched condition and the worl she did over it did her no good. Mr. Billings saile for Europe some days ago and it was his desire tha Lou be let up on till next spring. She is in fine flesl now, weighing as much as she ever did in her Ira "Doc" Tanner tells me that Mr. Billings, before leaving, spoke of breeding her in the spring to Johi* A. McKerron, and then keying her up for a few fare well efforts against time. By this it must not be conj eluded that Lou's case is hopeless. It means simply that she got too much of it last season and Tannerl as well as her owner, figures that another Severn gruelling at this time would be suicidal.

When the small breeder and the farmer learn thai it is greatly to their advantage to attend these horse shows that they may learn what the type, style or fashion in horses is, just as dry goods and millinery buyers go to the markets in spring and fall to study styles, the horse show will be upon a sound and sub- stantial basis. When secretaries learn to reach for and secure "attractive" exhibits, and, above all, to to learn how to exploit and advertise these exhibits, the halcyon days of the horse show will have arrived. The days of "fashion," "break-into-society-this- way," "be-in-the-swim" and stuff of that sort are played out. If they are not, they should be. The days of donations, hold-ups, subscriptions, etc., are done. The horse show is a valuable educational in- stitution. As such it deserves success, and will, if properly managed, stand upon an enduring founda- tion. Horse World: To a novice in the business, all legs look alike to a certain degree, but when it comes to close investigation and compare parts and i track at Grosse Pointe— and he built it. He organ- ized the American Trotting Association because he 'was dissatisfied with the National. He owns a turf journal published in Chicago; he is president of the .Grand Circuit— in short, Mr. Campau is and for years has been the leading figure in the harness racing world If he is really going to quit, and quit for good, his action is a misfortune to the harness horse interests, as, in spite of his faults. Mr. Campau says a writer in an agricultural exchange. In every horse, however, there are necessary qualities of foot and limb, irrespective of breed.* It is said, for instance, that "no foot, no horse," but every horse has feet, and most of them have fairly good ones, pro- vided they are set on good legs. It is the leg, then, that we shall first consider. It is a common saying that a horse should have "flat bone." This is but partially correct, for there is no such thing as flat bones in the leg of a horse. The leg bones are like the blade of a razor in shape, with the back of the blade turned to the front and the thin edge to the back. Such a bone presents a flat surface looked at from the side, but cut through a section will have an elliptical shape. When the leg appears to be round that fact is caused by lack of development of back tendons and the presence of a surplus covering of coarse tissue. What we are after is a "flat leg." This is denoted by a clean practically tissueless bone from the back of which the tendons has done mo're than any other man to build up and rest 49.

Trotter and Pacer— A driver who approached the judges at the meeting at Prospect Park, Baltimore, last week with a request for a little favor in the matter of the time which his horse had made m win- ning a heat, failed to secure the desired concession, but he did not come away empty-handed, for the indignant judges "soaked" a fine of $25 against him, as a balm to their outraged feelings. It was not any too much, for a man who does not know any better than to offer such an affront to the judges needs to have the impropriety of the proceeding impressed upon him in a substantial manner. It is altogether probable that drivers who ask to have the time sup- pressed utterly fail to appreciate the significance of their request. The rules specially forbid it under heavy penalties, and the driver who solicits it there- fore puts himself in a position of asking an official to perpetrate a fraud and render himself liable to punishment and disgrace for his (the driver s) spec.a accommodation. This is unreasonable, to put it mildly, and it is no wonder that a self-respecting judge will treat such a proposition as an insult. The fact ought never to be lost sight of that whenever a driver is favored by having the time set back for the purpose of keeping his horse in a certain class, it is done at the expense of the rights and interests every other man who is compelled to compe e ainst that horse in the future. If he has fairly raced himself into a faster class, and is not com- pelled to start in that class, he dishonestly cheats every horse that he may thereafter defeat. As long -i the record classification exists suppressio ust be considered to be as reprehensible as any er species of fraud which afflicts the sport, and it not be too severely discountenanced. American Horse Breeder: It seems somewhat sin- ter was by Medoc, a son of American Eclipse, and his dam was Cherry Elliott, a thoroughbred daughter of Sumpter, by Sir Archy. The third dam of Dr. Herr was Flea by Medoc; his fourth dam by Sumpter and his fifth dam by Doublehead, a son of Turpin's Eclipse, by imported Diomed. Mambrino Chief and his descendants have almost universally been more successful in perpetuating speed through the female than the male line. It is doubt- ful if any other of the trotting families has derived ""better greater benefit from thoroughbred crosses than this. The fastest trotters and best campaigners got by Mambrino Chief also his most successful sons and daughters, also grandsons and grandaughters, as per- petuators of speed, have in the majority of cases in- herited close and strong infusion of thoroughbred race winning blood. Mambrino King is a good illustration of this. His sire, Mambrino Patchen, was by Mam- brino Chief, and from a daughter of the thoroughbred Gano, by American Eclipse. The second dam of Mam- brino Patchen was by a thoroughbred and his third dam had the appearance of a thoroughbred, although she was a natural pacer. The dam of Mambrino King was by Alexander's Edwin Forrest, a horse that had no known trotting in- heritance. He was from running-bred ancestors on both sides, yet he got two trotters that made stand- ard records. The second dam of Mambrino King was a running-bred daughter of Birmingham, he by Stock- holder, a son of Sir Archy. The second dam of Mam- brino was mated with Mambrino Chief, the paternal grandsire of Mambrino King, and the produce was Fisk's Mambrino Chief Jr., that was the sire of six trotters with standard records, and whose daughters the record classification exists suppression of time produoed 24 -with standard records, 19 of which were pacers. The superiority of Mambrino King as a sire, to Fiske's Mambrino Chief, was without doubt due largely to his additional thoroughbred inheritance, the same element that made Mambrino Patchen so much more successful as a transmitter of speed than his own sire Mambrino Chief. gular that Mambrino Patchen 58. the most successful "...^ „i™ nf his! dav. did not impart to any !» ^|^ood mare sire of his day, of his sons the ability to equal his sire in this respect, ■et it is evident that such is the fact. The most suc- essful sons of Mambrino Patchen as sires and per- petuators of standard speed are Mambrino King, ambrino Boy 2:26%, Byerly Abdallah and Dr. Herr Ranking them according to their success as sires of standard ■P~*£«^«X£ £7^ The 'others^ th=e show b Horse Show Monthly: It appears to the writer that promoters and secretaries of horse shows, especially those given in the West, have been lacking in the in- telligent and broad qualities of promotion and pub- licity. It seems that the foundation of show patron age had not been laid upon sound ground. grasped in the hand. From such a tendon, and bone in the best draft horses of the Clydesdale breed and the improved English Shire the hair should grow as a silky fringe. Such hair or "feather," as it is often called, should not hide the bone and tendons nor surround the leg. Neither should it be coarse and kinky, like the dead horse hair stuffing of a sofa, or be so profuse in growth as to be plainly a nuisance. Hair of right quality is a sure evidence of flat, com- pact, "gun-metal" bone, and as a rule goes along with clean, well-marked tendons. Such bone is seen in the best class of breeds mentioned, but it is by no means special possession of these breeds. "When we find a clean leg and good joints the spring of the pasterns should be the next considera- tion, for no matter how nice may be the quality of the bone and tendons these qualities are largely de- stroyed by a steep pastern, which makes the action stilty, stiff and sure to cause trouble from severe con- cussion. We require oblique pasterns to offset con- cussion— to gradually or easily convey the concussion from the feet to the pillar of the leg bones above it. Looking at the profile of the leg the angle of the front of the hoof should be exactly that of the pas- tern. Any serious departure from an angle of forty- five degrees is to be considered a grave error not to be set right by paring or shoeing, and to be rejected, if possible, in breeding. A springy pastern possessed by a horse having clean bone and well- marked tendons with or without the fine hair alluded to above may be taken as indicative of free, straight action. Action and quality go together, and it remains in examining a horse to see that this is the case when he is moved at a walk or trot. If his legs are prop- erly set and his joint under proper control he will go and come without "paddling" or "wobbling." The feet will be carried in a straight line, and rise and fall rythmically, showing the shoe soles both fore and aft. A plummet line dropped from the center of the knee and pastern joint and back of the foot and the same line hung from the hip joint should cross the center of the foot and divide the gaskin in the mid- dle.

Agen 6 ©Jte gveebzv tro& gtptfirtsmart i October 7, 1905 A DEMAND THAT CAN BE SUPPLIED. ncisco, October 1st, 1905. . greatest problems of the times now to solve is the breeding with some degree of certainty oi the high class carriage horse. The breeder's ability to produce upon California soil the equal of the world's best light harness horse performers has been thoroughly demonstrated. The breeding of all classes - ie animals is conducted by individual enter- ut growth of ideas, therefore the fixity "f type is greatly affected or destroyed alto- gether by the variety of opinions entertained by peo- ple of different tastes engaged in breeding. Hence there - >ral lack of that uniformity of character so highly esteemed and so necessary in animals that are used for breeding. Realizing that the highest degree of success in all things is only accomplished through the united and persistent efforts of enthusiastic and intelligent work- ers, anu being inspired by an ambition to achieve greater perfection, more uniform production, higher physical qualities, greater endurance, more speed and more action in the breed of carriage horses of our own country, the United Slates Government is now working to the establishment of a model which shall become a standard to which all coach-saddle horse breeders may look as lypefying in form and Qualities the ideal breed of carriage horses. There are four styles of horses for which there is a genuine and earnest demand all over the land to-day. and for this demand there is not sufficient supply and in some instances no source of supply. First, the handsome coach horse, second the handy, sound work horse, third the prospective 2:05 or better light harness performer, and fourth the handsome and gentle in all places saddle horse. The coach horse must be from 15 to 16 hands, hand- some, docile, of fine form, good solid color, gentle in all places, of high show action all around, and able to pull a coupe or carryall from seven to ten miles an hour. The valuation and requirements of the handsome handy work horse, and the speedy light harness per- former, are well known to my readers. Such horses will sell readily and at good prices in any part of the world, and whoever breeds them will find himself breeding to a profit and a good profit at that. All over the country one hears the question asked, "Where can I find a pair of fine appearing carriage horses from 15 to 16 hands, stylish, sound and service- able?" The question does not get one satisfactory reply in ninety-eight. Why is this? Is it because of unwillingness to pay a good price? No; the gentle- man that wants them is as a general rule a liberal buyer and an offer of one, two, three, or even five thousand dollars for such a pair is not uncommon. It is not price, nor is it lack of activity to hunt for them, either on the part of the gentleman who wants them, or the dealer whose business it is to supply them, for there is no part of this broad land in which there is a probabality of finding such horses, where they have not been sought. It is astonishing to me that the California breeders who pride themselves upon the keenness of their per- ceptions have not foreseen and prepared themselves to meet so lucrative a demand, and one that is grow- ing year by year and right in the face of the auto- mobile fright. As long as there is a world there will be gentlemen of wealth, and as long as there is wealth there will be a demand for every high class carriage horse. The horse and the automobile are useful and each has its place. The admirer and owner of the machine is generally a lover of the horse. The natural instincts of the American people natur- ally incline them to the admiration of a great horse of any class, but they should not be swept into the whirlpool of horse breeding on sentiment alone. It takes more than the love of the horse to be a suc- cessful breeder. Many will ask what is the shape and what are the requirements that constitute a carriage horse? He should be harmonious in all proportions, such as high withers: deep brisket: prominent breast; well sprung ribs; good flank; head of medium size, clean and bony; jowl not too prominent: frontal broad; large clear eye; ear small at base, of medium length and ■sharp at point; throttle small; neck long with slight crest: sloping shoulders; prominent muscles: back short and powerfully muscled over the loins; curve to the tail; strong hocks, legs and feet, with flat bone and large cords; trotting action quick, high and round, free and clean, with not too long a stride, rossed on mares of a few handsome branches of the trotting families might and probably would give us what is wanted — the horse of the future. ago the Morgans were the horses par excel- lence They were handsome t" look at and tough as wlie nails.

Only a fair crowd witnessed the Grand Circuic races at Oakley Park Friday and the favorites were unable to land any money. In the first heat of the 2:15 trot Albert C. won the first heat, but Boreazelle. the second choice, took the next three easily. Maud Keswick, the favorite, succeeded in winning the first two heats of the 2.06 pace, but Hazel Patch took the next three heats and the race. Gold Dust Maid won the 2:12 trot in straight heats. Mainland, the favorite, finished sixth in the first heat and was beaten out a neck in both the second and third heats. In the third Mainland was winning, but he broke ten feet from the wire.

This filly is a daughter of the Palo Alto bred champion year- ling trotter Adbell 2:23. son of Advertiser and the great Beautiful Bells. Her dam is Emma T. 2:17% by Socrates 2S7, second dam Patsey Labor by Ab- dallah Pilot 70S. third dam Lizzie by Austerlitz. a son of imported Yorkshire. Miss Adbell w-as driven to victory by Alonzo McDonald. Susie N. was the fav- orite and won the first heat in 2:11%. which made her a still greater favorite, with Katherine L. as sec- ond choice over the field of high class three-year olds: and she was plunged on heavily by the talent. Miss Adbell won the race very handily however in the next three heats in 2:09%, o:io and 2:11%. The record of the race is' held by Grace Bond, whose winning heats were in 2:09%. 2:09% and 2:1)9^4. Mr. W. A. Clark's colt Bon Voyage, winner of the two-year-old division last year, won fourth Marechaele, a son of Margrave, getting third.

A rank outsider won the two-year-old division if the Kentucky Futurity on Wednesday at Lexington, the race going to the bay filly Lightsome in straight- heats. She was bred by James L. Dodge of Paris, Kentucky, who drove her in the race. The filly is by Constantine 2:12% (a son of Wilkes Boy and inbred to Mambrino Patchen on his dam's side), out of tnf pacing mare Bourbon Light 2:1S% by Bourbon Wilkes. Ed. Custer, winner of the Kentucky Stock Farm Futurity at Oakley this year, was the favorite for the race, but had a bad start in both heats. Vera Prodigal by Prodigal out of Vera Capel 2:07% was second in the first heat and third in the second, in which she was beaten out by Chas. Marvin's filly Siliko by Moko. who came near beating Lightsome for the heat. The time, 2:1414 and 2:16, has only been beaten once in this race, in 1902, when Kath- erine A. won in 2:14 flat. ■ The 2:06 trot resulted in a sensational contest, al- though Wentworth was distanced in the first heat. After Dr. Strong and Snyder McGregor each took a heat. Norman B. came along and captured the third and fourth after interesting contests. Dr. Strong was the original favorite. The time marks a new world's record for four heats. Boreazelle won the 2:14 trot, and W. A. Clark Jr.'s Morone was a good second. The 2:12 pace went to Lyddite. McCoy of Washing- ton Courthouse.

It seems that two daughters of Adbell were entered in the Kentucky Futurity for this year and both by the same name. One proved the winner of the trotting di- vision, and the other won second money in the pacing division. The pacing filly is out of Luzelle 2:1514 by. Patron. The five-year-old bay mare Ethel's Pride, the crack daughter of Directum and Ethelyn, won the classic Transylvania race in straight heats, reducing her prvious mark in the second heat by three-fourths of a second. The race was a very lucky one for Ethel's Pride.fas she just managed to beat Ed Geer's gelding Turley in the first two heats, while Mainland came with a rush down the stretch in the third heat and almost nosed out the mare for first position. John Caldwell won fourth money in this race. The 2: IS class trot had so many entries that it had to be divided. In the first division the mare Miss Kinney by McKinney won two heats, reducing her record to 2:10%, and A. Penn won two, when the fin- ish yvent over until Friday.

Our readers will remember an Item printed in this paper early in August this year, stating that Mr. E. Topham of Milpitas, Santa Clara county, had sold to Mr. H. J, Tasker of Christchurch, New Zealand, through an advertisement in the "Breeder and Sports- man," the bay stallion Peralta, sired by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16%. dam Rose McKinney, dam of Almaden (2) 2:22%, by McKinney 2:11%. The stallion was shipped to New Zealand on August 10th on the steam- ship Sonoma of the Oceanic line, and reached his destination safely as the following letter will show. Christchurch. September 11. 1905. F. W. Kelley, Esq.. Proprietor of the Breeder and Sportsman : The stallion Peralta which you purchased for me has arrived in New Zealand without a blemish on him and in splendid condition. Have seen a lot of horses landed off of boats one time and another, but have never seen one in such good shape and heart as was Peralta. There wasn't a ruffle on him. Am sure you will be pleased to hear this after the trouble you must have taken to deliver the horse so satisfactory. There is a lot of credit due to Mr. J. K. Koughan, the chief officer on the S. S Sonoma, as several of the passengers told 'me that he. Mr. Koughan, -paid every attention pos- sible to the horse. He was packed and padded beau- tifully and I don't think he could have possibly come to any harm in any weather. Of Peralta himself am more than pleased. Is just the sort of horse to suit the mares over here and am in hope of him trotting fast some of these days. It must seem poor pay to you, sir, but I tender you my most sincere thanks for the many kindnesses, promptness, and attention you have given me in securing Peralta. Am quite sure you have done the business more satisfactory to myself than I could have, had I been in California. Tours most truly, H. J. TASKER. Empire Hotel, Christchurch, New Zealand. o OFFERS SEVERAL GOOD ONES. NEWS rND NOTES. Miss Patchen 2: 09% is the fastest two-year-old pacing filly of the season. An effort will be made to place Todd 2:13%, the half brother of Sadie Mac 2:06%, in the 2:10 list at Lexington. Bon Voyage 2:12% by Expedition, is now the fast- est three-year-old trotting colt of the year. Chas. A. Durfee, formerly owner of the stallion McKinney, has a number of high class and highly bred horses that he wants to sell. Mr. Durfee's residence is in Oakland and the horses are at the San Jose track, and getting pretty expensive, for a man who does not own pasture land but has to rent box stalls, to keep. There are four black mares by Mc- Kinney, a weanling filly by Lecco 2:09%, and a year- ling by Iran Alto 2:12%, both out of Rose McKinney, the dam of Almaden 2:22% as a two-year-old, win- ner of the Breeders' Futurity and Iccident Stakes. One of the McKinney mares is out of Stemwinder, the dam of Directum 2:05%. another is out of Babe by- Ferdinand, son of Strathmore, and another is out of Fontanita by Antevolo, second dam Fontana. dam of Silas Skinner 2:17. The mare. Rose McKinney, is out of Queen Bee by Forest Clay, grandam by Al- mont Lightning, sire of Zombro's dam. This mare Durfee says is the finest lady's driving mare in the country, being afraid of nothing on earth, and will eat her oats off a steam engine or an automobile if necessary, and will stand on the street untied long enough for a lady to enter a millinery store and select a new hat. That's quite a while, but Mr. Dur- fee says the mare will do it. He also has a three- year-old McKinney stallion for sale — 'the best bred one living." and a McKinney gelding with a record of 2:17%. Mr. Durfee wants to sell and the prices he asks are reasonable. Mrs. Emma Murray, owner of the stallion Diablo 2:09%, died in this city last week from heart dis- ease. C. K. G. Billings sailed with his family September 20th for Europe. He expects to return to this coun- try in November for a. short stay and will then return to the other side where he will remain for a year or more, traveling throughout foreign lands. The management of the Belmont Driving Club. Philadelphia, is endeavoring to arrange a match race between Frank Yoakum. The Friend and Owyho. A reasonable purse will be offered, with an extra purse for each heat below 2. OS. Three heats are suggested and the week of October 23 as the time. Mr. Frank Overacker of Centreville, Cal., has pur- chased a nomination in Pacific Breeders' Futurity for his filly foal of 1905 by Arner 2:17%, own brother to Don Derby 2.04%. Diablo 2:09% and Demonio 2:11%. dam Fannie Vasto by Vasto. Mr. Overacker's filly is large and finely developed and a natural pacer of great promise. Mr. Overacker purchased the nom- ination from C. A. Durfee. whose mare Lasman, originally nominated in the stake, failed to foal. The Colorado Springs trotter Woody R. fell dead from the rupture' of a blood vessel while finishing in the lead in the 2:19 class at Cincinnati. The horse was owned by E. G. Davis and was valued at $5,000. If you own a thoroughbred don't fail to read the big stake advertisement of the New California Jockey Club in this issue. Wentworth now holds the trotting, record of the season for the Grand Circuit and is tied with Tiverton as the fastest race gelding, having stepped the second heat of his winning race at Columbus in 2:04%. Dr. Strong was right at his side at the finish. Meridian 2:12 1-4, There have been an even half-dozen miles trotted and paced over the Readville track as follows: Star Pointer, 1:59% and 1:59%: Dan Patch, 1:59%; Audu- bon Boy, 1:59%: Prince Alert, 1:59%; and Lou Dillon, 2:00. There have been several others within a frac- tion of "even time." So Readville has a right to the title of "the two-minute track." An advertiser in this week's issue announces that he has a McKinney-Sidney filly for sale. She -will be four years old next spring, is a dark bay, and broken to drive. Read the advertisement for further particulars. After Susie N. beat Bon Voyage at Columbus, W. A. Clark. Jr., owner of the colt. offered Tommy Mur- phy $17,500 for the daughter of Moko, but the offer was respectfully declined. Dr. J. W. Day of Rochester has a four-year-old colt by Bingen 2:06%. that he recently worked a mile over the Syracuse track in 2:12%, last half in 1:04, last quarter in 31% seconds. Sweet Marie reduced her record to 2:04% in a race against time at Readville last Wednesday. The quarters were 0:31%, 1:02. 1:32%, 2:04%. McDonald believes he will yet drive her a mile in two minutes. Five horses by The Director General, son of Director 2:17, are reported to have beaten 2:12 this season. Sadie Fogg, 3, is credited with trotting a mile at Lexington recently in 2:10%. William P., 4, a pacer, trotted in 2:09% also at Lexington, General Starr, a green trotter, owned in New England, stepped in 2:11 and The Seargent trotted a mile at Terre Haute in 2:14. The Director General is owned by that popular reinsman, George Starr. Canada has not yet bred a 2:00 horse, but is getting near the line. Gallagher 2:03% is the fastest pacing gelding. Maud Keswick 2:04% the fastest pacing mare, Wentworth 2:04% her fastest trotter. The Ward totalisator was used at the Hollister meeting last week. The association received more money for its share of the percentage than it ever received before, and the public were well pleased with the system. When a horse becomes old its teeth become long and sharp on the edges until many times it is almost impossible to eat food. When an aged horse thus refuses or fails to eat well and gaunts up easily when at work, the chances are that the teeth need atten- tion. It seems strange, but this is the last thing that some folks think about when a horse is out of con- dition. The grinders are located well back in the mouth where they are not easily examined. Have the teeth examined and dressed by a veterinary. Some of the dairy farmers in Vermont find it profit- able to raise a good colt or two every year. S. D. Caldwell. Enosburg Falls. Vt, is one of them In a recent letter he states that he sold a two-year-old May last, for $300. was offered $350 two weeks ago for a six-year-old and has a 14-3 hand yearling that is worth $200. All three of the above were got by Young Wildidle (2:22%). a California bred horse, whose sire was Electioneer and whose dam, Beatrice, was by the thoroughbred Wildidle. second dam by Mohawk Chief and third dam by John Nelson, son of imported Trustee. Norman B. by Phallas won the fastest four heat race ever trotted when he won the 2:06 class trot at Lexington last Wednesday. The race was best two heats in three. Dr. Strong won the first heat in 2:05%. Snyder McGregor took the second in 2:05%. and Norman B. the next two in 2:06% and 2:07%. J. W. Lipson, of Hanford, has purchased a Flower City cart from the San Francisco "Wheel and Novelty Company, Sixteenth and Valencia streets, this city. All the Rancho del Paso thoroughbreds, comprising thirty stallions and five hundred brood mares, are to be sold at auction in New York in December. The preliminary announcement appears in our advertising columns. A coal black gelding by Knight, sound and gentle and with speed, is offered for sale by a San Jose advertiser in this issue. One of the surprises of the year is the black trotting gelding. 'Wentworth, which defeated George G. 2:05% at Columbus last week, and took a record of 2:04%, the fastest mile by a trotter this year. Wentworth went through the Grand Circuit several seasons ago, and was looked upon as an outclassed trotter, but he appears to have taken a new lease of life. Mendovena, a six-year-old daughter of Mendocino 2:19% out of Avena 2:19% by Palo Alto 2.08%, trot- ted a good race at Pekin, Illinois. September 27th. where she won second money and was a good second in 2:15%. Mr. A. Edstrom of Merced advertises an 18-months- old road pacing stallion of the famous Hal family for ■ sale. This is the blood that produces extreme race winning speed at the pacing gait. Look over the ad- vertisement. This may be just the colt you are look- ing for. Here is a new variety of horse feed. The Hollister Advance says that Blessing Brothers of that city purchased fifty tons of bird seed straw in the San Juan valley to be used as bedding for their horses, and find that the horses all eat it with avidity and thrive upon the diet. Adrian Wilkes, son of George Wilkes, is another sire to be represented by two new 2:40 per formers this season, his two being Lillian, pacer, 2:0S%, and Miss Adrian, trotter, 2:09%. Charlie Niles, one of the most familiar figures on the Western trotting turf, drove his last race at Libertyville last week and has bid good-by to the sulky for good. For a quarter of a century Niles has been identified with the development of the har- ness horse in the West and probably has given three or four score records in standard time. He became conspicuous first when he brought ou the pacer Roy Wilkes 2:06%, and he was in his stable when he was sold for $10,000. At Paris, 111., on September S. he was thrown from a sulky and received painful injuries. In fact, it was miraculous that he was not killed, as several horses stepped right over him; and this fact has something to do with his retirement. The remarkable success which has attended the county fair meetings all over the United States this season is but one more proof of the growing popu- larity of the light harness horse. THE HORSE. Here is a Bombay native student's essay on the horse, says the Liverpool Post: The horse is a very noble quadruped, but when he is angry he will not do so He is ridden on the spina] cord by the bridle and sadly the driver places his foots on the stirrup and divides his lower limbs across the saddle and drive his animal to the meadow. He has a long mouth and his head is attached to the trunk by a long protuberance called the neck. He has four legs ,two are in the front side and two are afterward. These are the weapons on which he runs: he also defends himself by extending those in the rear in a parallel direction toward his foe. but this he does only when in a vexatious mood. His fooding is generally grasses and grains. He is useful to take on his back a man or woman as well as some cargo. He has power to run as fast as he could. He has got no sleep at night time ami always stand- ing awaken. Also there are horses of short sizes. They do the same as the others are generally doing. There is no animal like the horse; no sooner they see their guardian or master they always crying for fooding. but it is always at the morning time. They have got tall, but not so long as the cow and other surh lik'- similar animals. 8 @Dit£ gveeitev citib gftweiswtiin [October 1905 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL. Conducted by J. X. De WITT. ComiBg Events.

The region about Webber lake was once a splendid hunting country for mountain quail and grouse. In the "flats" of that section the birds found an ideal breeding place. Now all is changed, the country where once bevies of the beautiful plumed quail and the pine grouse reigned supreme is a scene of nau- seating desolation. Early this season the anglers and other visitors at Webber lake noticed the presence of many quail and grouse, the birds had a most favorable year and large broods of "chicks" were anticipated. The season had been an early one and it was sanguinely believed that the birds, old and young, would have a chance to thrive and get away to the higher breeding grounds before the bands of sheep, which are annually sent up in the Sierra valleys to feed, came on the country like a devastating scourge. The birds bred plentifully, but before they were ready to get away the sheep were upon them. Nests and eggs were destroyed and numberless young chicks were trampled to death. The sheep came into the country and spread over every bit of territory where a blade of vegetation was to be found. What they did not devour they destroyed, for the animal's were so numerous that not a square foot of country es- caped a harrowing from countless sheep trotters. Even the willows were denuded of every leaf as high up as the nibbling sheep could reach. Furthermore, the presence of thousands of sheep in the flats was the cause of a perceptible unsanitary condition of the dusty ground. The same conditions will apply to the Sierra val- ley, also a splendid quail and grouse country here- tofore. Sportsmen who have enjoyed a yearly hunt- ing trip to these sections claim that the birds are on the road to a certain extermination. Where once were many bevies of SO to 100 mountain quail, now it is hard to find a bevy of 15, and these are all old birds. As with the quail so it is w7ith the grouse. And worse news, the same conditions prevail in many sections of Nevada. To offset this lamentable state of affairs several local sportsmen propose to lease five or six sections (640 acres each), in the vicinity of Webber lake, which are owned by the railroad. Friendly influences are to be induced to augment this area by securing leases also of surrounding tracts. The territory leased will produce as much revenue to the owners as the sheep graziers pay. The lessees propose to sub-let to cat- tlemen. The cattle herders will practically become patrolmen of the leased lands and will keep off the sheep men. In this manner a reserve breeding sec- tion for quail and grouse will be secured. However laudable the project is, it will be the saving of only a fly-speck of territory, comparatively, against the annual mutton raiders. WASHINGTON GAME AND FISH LAWS. Anglers who have tried P iper Mill recently few 8 and LO In h flsh in the Tocaloma and Point Reyes. Duck shooting in the marshes near Point Reyes promises well for the 16th. In answer to a recent communication asking in- formation relative to certain features of the Wash- ington game laws, the following summary is pre- sented. The open season began in Washington on Septem- ber 1st. A comparison of the northern statutes with the California laws is interesting. Among other things it w7ill be noticed that the license system is in vogue and that many useful birds are protected. Following is a brief summary of the game laws of the state of Washington: "Elk — Closed to October 1, 1915. "Moose, antelope, mountain sheep or mountain goat species — September 15 to November 1. "Caribou — September 15 to December 15. "Hunter is limited during the open season to kill one male of the moose, antelope or caribou species, and two males of the mountain sheep or mountain goat species. Females of the above named must not be killed at any time. "Deer — September 15 to December 15, unlawful to kill any spotted fawn. Hunter is limited during the open season to kill four deer. Deer may be hunted in Sound counties with dogs during the month of October. It is unlawful to kill for the hide or horns, fire hunt, trap or ensnare any of the above named animals. Unlawful to hunt deer with dogs on any island. "Grouse, etc. — In all counties west of the western boundary of the counties of Okanogan, Chelan, Yakima, Kittitas and Klickitat, grouse, partridge, prairie chicken, sage hen. native pheasant or ptarma- gln, September 1 to January 1.

Hunter is limited during the open sea- son to kill in any one day ten of the above named birds. In Kittitas county, prairie chicken Septemberd 10 to October 1, and hunter is limited during the open season to kill five in any one day. "Quail — October 1 to January 1. Hunter is limited during the open season to kill fifteen quail in any one dny. Quail are protected in all counties east of the Cascade range until September 15, 1908. "Mongolian quail — Mongolian quail in counties of Oki gan, Chelan, Yakima, Klickitat and Kittitas, an- protected until October 15, 1906. In counties east ni the western boundary of the aforseaid counties the above named birds are protected until September 15, 190S. "MongoKan j.hensants— Lawful to kill male birds of the Oriental, Golden, Silver. Ring-Necked. Copper- Bronze, Chinese or Mongolian pheasants between the 15th day of October and the 31st day of December in any one year. 'Water fowl— All kinds of ducks, swan, sandhill crane and snipe, September 1 to March 1; geese and brant, September 1 to May 1. Hunter is limited dur- ing the open season to kill twenty-five ducks, geese, brant or snipe in any one day, and may sell, during the month of November only, twenty-five ducks, geese, brant or snipe. Unlawful to fire at any of the above named birds from any gasoline launch, naphtha launch, steam launch, or other boat propelled other- wise than by hand. "Unlawful for any person to use any sink box, sneak boat, swivel gun or other gun than one fired from the shoulder. Unlawful to kill any water fowl at any time between one hour after sunset and one- half hour before sunrise.

Unlawful to disturb or remove from the nest the eggs of any game bird. "Mercer island in Lake Washington is a game pre- serve. Cnlawful to kill any game animals or birds, at any time, on this island. Penalty for the violation thereof, §50 fine. "Song birds protected — Unlawful to kill, trap, or ensnare, or take the eggs of any song bird. UnlawTul to purchase, offer or expose for sale, transport, or1 ship within or without the state, any wild bird other than a game bird, except as hereinafter permitted. No part of the skin, plumage, or body of any wild bird, other than a game bird, shall be sold or had in possession for sale. "Certificate may be granted by the state game war- den to any properly accredited person ot the age of 15 years or upward to collect birds or their eggs for strictly scientific purposes. "Unlawful for any company, firm or corporation, hotel keeper, restaurant, market or cold storage plant to offer for sale, or keep or have in their possession at any time of the year, any of the game animals or birds, except the number of ducks, geese, brant and " snipe permitted to be taken and sold during the month of 'November, w-hich is twenty-five. "Unlawful for any steamboat company, railroad company, express company or other common carrier, their officers, agents or servants, and every other per- son, to transfer, carry, or take out of this state, any of the game birds or animals protected by the laws of the State of Washington. Provided, that the above named companies or persons may receive and transfer from one point to another within this State, when said game birds or animals are accompanied by affi- davit of the shipped that the. same are not shipped for sale or profit. Provided that upon the granting of a similar privilege by the States of Oregon or Idaho to the residents of .the State of Washington any resident of the State of Oregon or Idaho may per- sonally take with him any game to the limit of one day's hunt killed by himself in the State of "Wash- ington." The following information, issued by the county auditor of Pierce county, will also be found of in- terest: It is always unlawful to buy, sell, oeffr for sale, barter or trade at any time, game animals or birds, except ducks, geese and brant in November. To hunt without a license To transport game or fish for market, except ducks, geese, brant and snipe in November, and then not over twenty-five can be sold in one season by one individual. To use any boat other than one propelled by hand, excepting a sneak boat, in water-fowl shooting. To use any gun other than the one fired from the shoulder. • To fire a gun. or use a flashlight on water-fowl feed- ing grounds one hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise. To remove or disturb nests or eggs of any birds. To in any way interfere with song-birds or have skins or plumage of same. To have game in cold storage out of season. To receive game or birds for shipment except open season. Then affidavit must be made that the; are not shipped for sale or profit. To kill females of any game animal, except deei in open season. To run deer with dogs, except west of the Cas- cades in October on the main land only. To fire, hunt, trap or ensnare, or hunt for hide or horns of any protected animal or birds. To catch or kill game by any other means than hook and line. To shoot on Mercer island in Lake Washington. To take fish in any manner within 300 feet of any jflshway. To pollute any stream frequented by game fish. To shoot on enclosed land without permission. To dump sawdust or mill refuse in any waters of the State. To kill geese, brant and other water-fowl on Colum- bia and Snaka rivers in Klickitat, Walla Walla, Franklin, Yakima, Kittitas. Douglas, Columbia, Gar- field and Whitman counties. To hunt deer on any island in the State. It will be seen from the foregoing that the variety of upland birds is a satisfactory one for the most enthusiastic sportsmen. We note a prohibition against the curing of game fish, so called, and the prohibition of the use of nets. Grouse, prairie chickens, sage hens, partridges, pheasants, or ptarmigan are the birds which the law allows hunters to shoot after the first of September, BE, 1905J ®tte gSveefcev cmfc §r;yi?rtemau 9 all water fowl, such as ducks, geese, sandhill eerie, swan, snipe and brant are also in open season. here are many splendid spots for hunting near T'-oma in Pierce county. Those well informed state tit there is no particular section that can be desig- ned as especially favorable. One year a certain aia may have been teeming with game, while the nJ;t season it is deserted. Pierce county is noted for it fine game birds and many parts of the country ai usually well stocked with game. 'or some time the law has prohibited the killing o pheasants, but this year male birds may be shot tyween October 15 and December 31. "hose who have been in that country recently state tit grouse are not very abundant, but again, other rl'orts show that there are not a few of the birds ffll they will probably be also shot in large numbers. ""he fees for hunters' licenses are: County residents, $ non-residents, $5; non-resident, aliens, $50; state r idents, $5; non-residents, $10; none-resident aliens, Sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, constables, city marshals to| police officers and forest rangers are ex-officio fane wardens and may arrest without warrant any fc-son violating any of the game laws of the State. Unless otherwise provided for, a penalty of not less tin $10 nor more than $500, with costs or imprison - r-nt for violation of the game laws of the State is pvided for. Possession of any game birds, fish or aimals out of season is prima facie evidences of vlation of the laws. GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. /New Game Bag. )ne of the cleverest devices for carrying a string c ducks or other game, camp duffle or any of the ual dunnage hunter's find it necessary to carry to ed from camp, ark or shack is the recent invention c Wm. Bay, a well known member of the Field and ';le Club and a popular sportsman as well. This iitrivance is a double ender to be slung on the gaulder. The ends are bellied, the middle forming compact strap with an opening slit. The birds can ) laid in the bag without taking them from the rap, thus keeping them in good shape and condi- gn. The bag opening is arranged with clasps so that jything can be put in or taken out easily. In- jle pockets and ventilating holes are provided. All i all the bag is away ahead of anything else in its 1 e and is the most perfecting outing bag before the •jblic to-day. It must have met with the approval i experienced sportsmen judging from the rush of ilers received by Clabrough, Golcher & Co., 53S :irket street, who are the agents for the "Perfection uting Bag." Ill River Fishing. Recent reports from Eel River, Weymouths and artuna, are to the effect that the fishing is excel- :it. Plenty of fish, none under a half pound, and •ge steelheads are being taken. John Butler and J. mgall one day last week landed 70 nice trout. But- .- in addition hooked and landed a 16-pound steel- ad. >r the Fall Season. A variety of special innovations for sportsmen, as ill as staple goods, are now on sale at Shreve Barber Co.'s, 739*l3arket and 521 Kearny streets. A specialty this firm is sportsmen's clothing of every kind. A te of light English cloths for hunting and fishing its must be seen to be appreciated. The stock of ced hunting boots and gaiters carried is high class every particular. Everything in the line of sports- en's equipments — up to date in every respect — can • found at either store. ew Decoys. In stormy weather low setting decoys do not show > well. Some sportsmen, to overcome this, so fix eir decoys, particularly the wooden canvasbacks, at they will loom up larger. This is a decided ad- aitage in luring the birds from a distance. To meet a long felt want there is now on the mar- rt a large sized decoy — the Mammoth — for both an" and "sprig" shooting. These new stools have et the approval of every sportsman who has seen em. Clabrough, Golcher & Co. have them. Get >ur orders in early for the stock on hand is going st. They have also a fine line of bluebill, teal and her decoys; guns, shell boxes; in fact everything a 'ortsman wants for marsh or upland shooting. ild Rice in California. We are informed by Mr. Chas. H. Shaw that wild ce was planted several years ago in the preserves the Colusa Gun Club, which are located on lands longing to the Crocker Estate. The experiment was success, the seed took root and grew. At the present me the wild rice is to be found growing on hundreds acres of fresh water marsh land in Colusa county. urlingham Gun Club. Anent the abolition of pigeon-shooting at Hurling- im, London Truth says : It was suggested that lere were other questions in connection with the anagement of the club which required considera- , 3n. At an outcome of the controversy that arose, committee comprising several of the leading mem- , !rs has been appointed to inquire Into the club's i lances. In some quarters there was an attempt — )t altogether justified by the facts of the case — to iow that the pigeon-shooting involved an unduly iavy expenditure. It is now believed, however, that Is rather in the matter of certain official salaries id official sinecures that extravagances have pre- liled, and that in these and other directions a con- derable saving can be effected without any impair- ent of the attractions of the club. BRITISH COLUMBIA FIELD TRIALS. The third annual trials of the British Columbia Field Trials Club were started at Ladnor, near Van- couver, B. C , on September 21st and closed on the 25th. Major J. M. Taylor judged. The Derby had 19 entries, and the winners were. J. W. C. Rodfield first, Tony Spot second. Uncle Dudley and Aunt Marie equal third. The All Age stake was concluded on Saturday after- noon, the winners being as follows: First — "Policy Girl," black, white and tan English Setter bitch, owned by J. W. Considine of Seattle; J. E. Lucas, handler. Second — "Kilgarif." black, white and tan English Setter dog, owned by J. E. Terry of Sacramento; W. B. Coutts, handler. Equal third — "Diamond Spot." black and while Pointer bitch; S. Hansen, owner and handler "Ab- bott's Jock," liver and white Pointer dog, owned by H. H. Abbott; S. Hansen, handler. The stake had 22 starters, of which ten were taken into the second series. Among the dogs running there were no fewer than 16 previous winners in Washington, British Columbia, California and Eastern trials, including Ch. Peach Blossom, winner of the Illinois championship in 1903. This fact and the fact that Mr. W. B. Coutts, the California handler, stated before the trials that the dog winning third place in such company would be worth at least $3,000. shows the status of the British Columbia Club this year. The Membership Stake was also run off on Satur- day, resulting as follows: First — "Point," owned and handled by D G. Mac-" donell. Second — "Roy's Lady," owned and handled by Miss W. E. Davie. Third — "Lady Roberts," owned and handled by J. D G. Abbott. The winners of first and second received handsome cups presented by Mr- C. W. Minor of Victoria and Mr. H Abbott of Vancouver. The Championship Stake was the concluding event of the trials and was run off Monday. Owing to some dissatisfaction among the owners of dogs over Major Taylor's awards, only two dogs entered this event, ten other entries being withdrawn. Mr. H. H. Ab- bott's "Jock" was first and Mr. D. G. Macdonell's "Point" second. "Munzie" Lucas got there at last and landed a good dog for first in the All Age. Miss Winnifred Davie of Victoria is a thorough sportswoman; she has had entries in both the B. C and Pacific Northwest trials and has run a winning dog previously. May good luck keep pace with her judgment and enthusiasm. Challenge cup in 1900 and 1901 for the best Fox Ter- rier at the "Westminster Kennel Club show. _ Hards I'p was a son of the famous Go Bang out of Belle Duyal, the latter being sister to three celebrated champions in England— Belmont Vivid, Belmont Ves- per and Rowton Rebecca. He was whelped in Sep- tember, 1S9S, and has left progeny that will be of future benefit to the breed. DOINGS IN DOGDOM. They Were California Bred. A communication received from one of the exhib- itors at the recent San Mateo show questions an award made for the best kennel of California Collies, and is as follows: "I showed three Collies for Mi'. Arthur Letts of Los Angeles at San Mateo. There was a special of- fered by Mr. Jas. Moreland for best kennel of three California bred Collies. "I am informed that a protest against Letts' Col- lies was made, claiming that the dogs are not Cali- fornia bred. "The facts are these: Letts bought Old Hall Syl- via in England and had her bred to Wishaw Leader in England. The bitch arrived safely in California and after getting here gave whelp to the;e three dogs. Are they California bred or not? ' The rule of the A. K. C. does not cover their case as it only specifies that a bitch owned in America and sent to Europe to be bred and which is returned and whelps here shall have her progeny called Ameri- can bred. It seems to me that as both bitches were ' served in England and both arrive in this country and whelp here, that if the one litter is American bred the other must surely be so called. "It seems unlikely that this question has iiol been thoroughly thrashed out in the councils of the A. K. C. many a time and I am in hopes that you might recall a case which would serve as a precedent. "You will notice that the rule regarding American bred dogs refers only to bitches sent from lure abroad and has not been changed dining the recent altera- tions of rules. Will you let me hear what you think about it." We can not recall any case that might serve as a precedent. It seems to us that the rule, inferentially, covers this particular case. The bitch was owned by an American fancier. The fact that the bitch had not been in the LTnited States before being bred, Cor her American owner, in England, is within the spirit of the law, if not the letter. Barring the sending of the bitch to England by Mr. Letts, the case is in com- pliance with the intention of the rule. The domieil of the. bitch was in California, the home and resi- dence of the owner. Under the circumstances, it strikes us forcibly thai the protest should not stand. A Good One Gone. The famous wire-hair champion Hands Up died in New York, September 29th, from an acute attack of jaundice. Hands Up so far is the only American-bred Fox Terrier to successfully compete against the cracks in England. In spite of the handicap imposed by the quarantine regulations, he made the trip to England in 1900 and on his appearance at the Crystal Palace won third in the open class with four cham- pions and six other winners behind him, second In the limit class and first in the novice class. He also won first in the open clas at Liverpool. He then re- turned to this country. On this side he won the National Beagle Club of America. Mr. Thomas Shallcross of Providence, R. I and Mr. Thomas D. Griffith of Redmand, Md„ have ac- cepted the invitation of the National Beagle Club of America to judge at its Sixteenth Annual Field Trials, to be held at Stevenson, Baltimore county, Mr]., during the week commencing October 30th. 1905. Ste- venson is in Baltimore county. Maryland, about twelve miles from the City of Baltimore, and is reached from the Union station, Baltimore, on the Green Spring branch of the Northern Central railroad, Baltimore division of the Pennsylvania railroad. The headquarters of the club during the trials will be at Avalon inn. Stevenson. Baltimore county, Md. The Dog Book. To the lover of the Pointer, part IV of Mr. James Watson's work appeals strongly. Chapter XVIII is devoted to this breed in a most interesting manner Among the illustrations is a particularly good por- trait of Ch. Oregon's Jessie II. a stylish bitch well known to the Coast fanciers. Field Spaniels, Cock- ers. Norfolk Spaniels, Welsh Spaniels or Springers, and the Irish Water Spaniel are treated in no less an entertaining spirit than the Pointer. The illustrations are high class. The part maintains the high standard that was inferred by the excellence of the first parts. The work is one that appeals to the student and is a necessary textbook for the fancier. AT THE TRAPS. At the final shoot of the Millwood Gun Club Sep- tember 24th. the winners of club prizes for the season were: Club championship cup. Captain W. H. Price; special trophy race, gold cuff buttons. W.

A number of local shooters as well as a representation from Napa, Santa Rosa. Petaluma and other points will be present. This shoot will terminate the Vallejo trap season. An impromptu trap shool took place at the Clare- moril Country Club traps, Oakland last Sunday. A squad of local shooters were present on the invita- tion of Mr. J. O, ('adman. Weather conditions were perfect and g<. Cadinan broke 181 out of 200. The feature of the day was a five man team con- test. The shooters and scores made were: Team No. 1—50 targets per man— Ed Schultz. cap- tain; Harold Havens, Clarence Nauman, Clarence I-Iaight and George McNear, Jr. — Total. 21-1. Team No. 2— Peter McRea, captain; Fred Schultz. J. i'. Cadman, W. Havens and w. J. Golcher— Total 214. im the shoot out at 25-targets. No. l squad won by 2 birds. In a second 50 targel team shoot McRae's men won on the score of 221 to 210. Following the shoot the visitors were entertained at lunch in the club house, Mr. Cadman being the host. At Biggs. Butte County, the Biggs Gun Club held a two-day bluerock shoot last Saturday and Sun- day, which was largely attended by the local sports- men and the various manufacturers' agents of the Pacific Coast, as well as by visitors from other points. The high average Cor the two days, w:is won by F. M. Newbert of Sacramento. G. AY*. Gibson of Williams, in a v-'i \ i losely contested event, won the Noi them i 'aiifornia championship. F. M, Newbert in an easy race, annexed the Gold I ins i trophy. Tn the three-man team shool Newberi i tuns taller and Monte Newberi of Sacramento made in-- remarkabli score of 5S out of the possible GO, 10 ®tt£ Qiceeiigv cmfc gjtpprtsmcm [.October 7, 190,'i with Mr. Ruhstaller credited with a 20 straight, thus . . . Mothers, who are about as 'em, says the Union. - ,oters state that the treatment ac- ted by the •plain" folks was the •■best ever." and that the arrangement of the grounds and the gen- eral management of the tournament was all that the most discriminating shotgun •■crank" could desire. In addition to the trophies and medals and honors the Sacramento "bunch" brought home a goodly lot ,.f prizes from the merchandise events. The visiting shooters have only the kindliest of feelings for their interior sportsmen friends, and that at the Sacramento tournament next spring the visitors will be as lucky as were the local shoot- . is at Biggs. The first annual tournament of the Medford Gun Club was held September 22d and 23d with nftj shooters present. The program consisted of 10 events. 200 taregets edoh day. 20.000 of which were trapped. The weather conditions were perfect and the early predictions that good scores would be made were ful- filled. The shoot was held beneath a grove of massive oaks, which with tents dotted here and there and tables loaded with fruit and eatable of all kinds made a very attractive ground for the smashing of mud sau- cers. Besides the Oregon shooters and manufacturers agents there were present: W. F. Crosby of O'Fallon, 111.: Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake. la.; Rollo Heikes of Dayton, O.: H. C. Hirschy of Minneapolis. Minn.; J. S. Fanning of Xew York; Thos. Marshall of Keiths- burg. 111., all professionals of the first calibre .and C. M. Powers of Decatur, 111., the clever amateur. Among the trade representatives were C. D. Plank of Den- ver. C. A. Haight. E. Holling. W. S. Wattles, H. T. Hovt. W. H. Seaver of San Francisco, F. L. Carter and F. C. Howe. M. O. Feudner, Ed Schultz, W. H. Varien of Pacific Grove, and J. W. Bradrick were also present. Crosby won the high average in the professional class by breaking 394 out of 400. and was presented with a beautiful mounted Mongolian pheasant for doing the trick. He also made runs of 126 and 101 without a miss. Gilbert came next with 392, and made runs of US and 154. The latter is within three birds of the Pacific Coast record, which was made at San Francisco by Mr. Crosby in the Interstate tour- nament. Heikes followed, only missing 10, and made a run of 117 without a miss. Fanning created a sepa- ration with SSI. Marshall with 356 and Hirschy with 361. C. M. Powers shot in his usual good form, only missing 14. C. D. Plank shot well the first day and retired on the second on account of illness. First general average for amateurs was won by C. M. Powers, second by M. O. Feudner, and third by W. H. Varien. The lady shooters shot well, first general average going to Mrs. Young of Portland, second to Mrs. Sny- der of the same city, and third to Mrs. Holmes of Salem. Miss Hazel Enyart. after breaking the first target she ever shot at, retired with 100 per cent, beating Crosby for high average; besides, she has the honor of having killed the bear which was served to the shooters at Hotel Nash, with mountain trout also on the bill of fare. Special mention should be made of the ladies of the "Booster Club" for the clever manner in which they entertained the shooters, and if our readers do not believe what the program said, "that they would be made to go some," ask Marshall, Gilbert, Powers and a few more who were duly initiated. The "Hoo Hoo Squad" must not be oveiioked. as they went through a very difficult drill to the great amusement of all present. The shoot ended at an early hour on the second day, and for the benefit of many spectators who arrived a little late Messrs. Marshall, Heikes, Hirschy. Gil- hert and Powers shot an exhibition match of 50 tar- gets each. Mr. Powers making a clean score. F. L. Carter and W. A. Hillis, representatives of the Peters Cartridge Company, gave an exhibition of fancy rifle shooting, which was interesting and greatly enjoyed by all. A number of shooters from Medford, Ashland and other points also participated and displayed excellent marksmanship. A few of them did nearly as well as some of the professionals. They will be heard from in future tournaments. Most of the shooters left in a special car Saturday evening for Portland and other northwest cities, en route home. The San Francisco sportsmen on their return from Medford were unanimous in high praise of the Web- footers for their good fellowship. W. S. Wattles states that the shoot was a big success from every standpoint. The spontaneous hospitality extended the visitors by the citizens of Medford was unremitting and bounteous. Much credit for the success of the shoot is due T. E. Enyart and Edgar Hafar, who will be remembered as participating here at the Interstate shoot. The Medford grounds are splendidly appointed and beautifully situated. The visitors and partici- pating shooters were the guests of the Medford la- dies, who served an appetizing lunch on the shoting grounds each day. The tables were beautifully deco- rated and presided over by Mesdames B. P. Theiss, H. E. Boyden, J. A. Perry, A. M. Short. J. G. Van Dyke, J. F. Reddy. H. W. Streets, T. E. Pottinger. E. A. Welch. C. H. Hafer, I. L. Hamilton. C. H. Edmunds. Miss J. D. Bowling and Miss Hazel Enyart. Following the shoot the sportsmen "were entertained at an operatic performance in the Medford Theater. The trip was a memorable one and most enjoyable in every respect. The Santa Cruz Rod and Gun Club members kept the traps working on September 17th. In the club shoot at 25 targets the results were: Pearson 23, High 9. Jones 16, Heath 11, Wilder 22 (15 straight). Kober 21, Cox IS, Hale 14. At the Blue Rock Gun Club shoot, Bakersfield, Sep- tember 24th, F. N. Schofield was again high gun. The scores were: Schofield, shot at 125 targets, broke 105; Ferguson 100-79, Stoner 125-79. Getchel 100-74, Henry 100-61, Higgins 100-47, Nelson 50-35. Ralph Slusser of Mt. "Olivet is high average man of the Santa Rosa Gun Club for this season. Out of a total of 300 targets he broke 2S2, winning the club championship medal and the Lanin & Rand cup. At the last club shoot, in the club race, he broke 20 straight. The shotguns of thirty trap shooters at Alameda Junction on the 1st inst. sounded the requiem of the local trap shooting season for 1905. The occasion was a wind-up gathering of the shooting enthusiasts un- der the auspices of the Pacific Coast Trap Shooters' Association. The main feature of the day was a merchandise prize shoot at twenty targets. The high scores were made by W. H. Seayer and E. L. Forster, 20 straight each; A. J. Webb 19, L. S. Mayfield of Napa 19, E. Gamble 19, E. Klevesahl 19. M. Lorenson 19. . Four other events at twenty targets were shot. Straight scores were made by Rooney of Vallejo three times and E. Gamble once. A team shoot between the Union and Vallejo gun clubs was won by the former. The scores were: Union — Klevesahl 25, Daniels 24, Jacobsen 24, Fos- ter 23, Webb 23. Total, 119. Vallejos — Rooney 22, Mayfield 22, O'Hara 21, Clark 20, Lewis 24. Total. 109. In a special match between Captain Thomas L. Lewis and Dr. Hutton at 25 targets Lewis won, with 24 against 20. Lewis has shown remarkable improve- ment in target shooting for the past year. Among the visitors were a number of shooters from Vallejo, Napa and Santa Rosa. The high averages were: E. Forster 95.

From a paper read by L A. Sweet lefore the Minnesota Dairymen's Con- ention in 1903, the following extracts re taken: The dairy cow is the cow that under .vorable surroundings and with a suf- ;ient amount of the proper kind cf ood, will produce a reasonable profit ,n her value after paying for feed and are. Any cow that will not do this should ot be classed as a dairy cow no mat- er what her breed. In the selection of a typical da:ry ow a few points might be observed hat would serve the buyer well. First, lie should be reasonably young and lave the appearance of health. Second. :he should have a reasonably large ud- Ler, full before and behind, with plenty if room for expansion, with medium ;ized, well placed teats, far enough .part to allow, free movements of the ,ands and 'fingers without interfering 1,-ith each other; her udder should be ree from flesh and capable of a large xpansion. Third, the milk veins should be large .nd kinked and should enter the body yell at the front with a large well or lassage for the vein into the body, 'ourth, she should have a large bar- el, showing large digestive organs. Her frame should be heavy enough to airy around her digestive organs, with vhat muscle that is needed to keep he machinery of life in motion. Her jody should be wedged shaped. Her tendency should be to not lay in flesh, and last but not least, she should be able to perform under good reatment, making at least 250 pounds »f butter per year. If the farmers of this state will stop jtnd think that butter from the dairy :ow that produces from 250 to 400 >ounds of butter yearly can be made it a cost for feed not to exceed $30 fer year, and that it is about the only iranch of farming that does not have ts way-ups and way-downs, as the >eef business and the pork business do, think there would be more of us hunt- ng for the special dairy cow. We have ess cows in the United States today .nan we had ten year.-* ago according o the population, and prices have been jood for butter and reasonably steady I will quote you the New York mar- Sit for a few years back: Average for «96, lS^c; '97, 19y2c; '98, 19V2c: '99, l^c; 1900, 22.4c; 1901, 21.6c; ,1302. ;4.7Gc; and for 1903 it will probably .verage about as high as 1902. The good dairy cow will make from hree-fourths of a pound to \y± pounds f butt_,- daily on a ration that would I'e only one-third of a feed for a fat- ening steer. The butter will sell for .bout 2c per poui.d under the prices uoted above and the beef will hardly .verage 5c per pound. Right here let me say that my herd 3 just a good average of a dairy herd. In 1901 they made me $58.79 worth of roduct each, with a cost for feed and asture of $26. 2f) per cow, or a net rofit of $32.54 besides the skim milk nd buttermilk. And in 1902 with prac- Ically the same cost for feed and pas- ure they made me a profit of $41 54, nd everything indicates a still larger rofit this year. Some say, "O, you pet your cows." 'hat is right, we do. And another lan will say, "How much did you feed our cows to get that return?" And hen I tell them what the feed cost nd that I have charged them a good rice for all they have eaten, they pass a and shake their heads and think robably I am telling what is not true, armers! there isn't one of you but Bo can make as much profit from iur. cows as the man that keeps the liry cow, if you will keep as good a ass of dairy cows and give them the ght kind of care and feed. As. to the relation this dairy cow bids to diversified farming I would Every farm that is kept in proper mdition for the' raising of crops must we some fertilization. This means that some kind of stock flst be kept on the farm, and what in be more profitably kept than the tiry cow? The skim milk from a herd of dairy iws is valuable as a part ration for •owing pigs and calves; it is one of e feeds on the farm that is almost V dispensible. ■J Too much attention has been paid to | e beefy tendency of the cow, and our !»od, old, native dairy cow has been ansformed into the dual purpose cow double purpose cow, and a great any farmers are trying to feed her and milk her for profit. But I am sure if many of them should charge her in detail with all she eats they would find the ledger account balanced on the wrong side. Let us wake up to the fact that we must have better cows, teach the beef trust a lesson, grade up a better class of cows and let this double-purpose fad die out. Now is a good time to kill it; let those high fellows use our beef as we grow it. A half blood Jer- sey heifer was just butchered on my farm; she was one year old last June, she dressed 400 pounds and is good beef, much better than the average beef that can be bought in our mar- kets here. The dairy cow and hog raising go hand in hand in the opinion of the writer; butter will always be a good fair price. A BEAR CAMPAIGN IN WOOL. That there is to be a bear campaign in wool seems apparent. Not that wool is going to be worth less intrin- sically or that stocks will become bur- densome or that manufacturers will need less, but that speculators want their rake-off. Last season the specu- lators in the staple did well. Growers, unaware of the depleted condition of stocks or manufacturers' necessities, eagerly, accepted bids last fall that looked to them advantageous, but in the light of this year's rise show that they parted with their property cheap. Many who contracted their 1904 clip six and eight months in advance lost 5 cents a pound by the transaction. The speculator was aware of the situation; the grower was not. Naturally speculators are anxious for their share of the profits of the 1906 clip. Their bids on a basis of 1905 prices have already been rejected. Growers are alive to the fact that what their product is worth to specu- lators it is worth to them. The wool producer is no longer in straightened circumstances; he has passed the pe- riod of indigency and, what is more, is thoroughly imbued with confidence. Some operators believe that bids on the 1906 clip will be lower from this time henceforth. Boston and Phila- delphia want to secure options and the only way this can be done is by dis- turbing the serenity and confidence of the grower. In other words, bearish sentiment is to be industriously inject- ed into producing circles. Bids are to be lowered and the speculator instead of displaying anxiety will assume an air of indifference. If he can secure the assistance of Western bankers this campaign may win simply because the average wool-grower depends largely on the advice of the man who handles his money. If bankers begin to talk lower wool the logical deduction to be drawn is that they are working hand in hand with the speculators. This line of argument is by no means illogical The wool speculator is well posted anc no matter what price he is willing t« bid for next year's clip he expects th staple to be worth more at shearin time. Speculators do not always _yr'v but unfortunately they beat the grower three times out of five. — Breeders' Ga- zette. Spongea. S.

Osgood, Proprietor. 120-122 SOUTH FOURTH STREET, Qcinct, III , May 12, 1905. Some twelve months ago I owned a horse which was practically worthless, due to a very bad Bone Spavin on his right hind leg. I tried various remedies without success, finally purchasing from the Miller & Arthur Drug Co. of this city a bottle of "Save-the-Horse." After using one-half the contents of the bottle, according to instructions, the horse has never taken a lame step. I would gladly have sold him for twenty-five dollars before using "Save-the- Horse.'1 I have sold him since for ninety dollars, and would not be without "Save-the-Horse" at double the cost. GEORGE W.

Communications must be accompanied by the writer s name and ■ddress, not neoessarily for publication, but as a private guar- antee of good faith. San Francisco, Saturday, October 14, 1905- THE AMERICAN TROTTER is the universal pleas- ure horse of the people of the United States. From Maine to California he is bred, owned and driven by .armers, mechanics, millionaires, statesmen and radesmen, and there is not a county in the entire country where the trotting horse is not owned and oved for his docility, and his speed. The country boy Is raised with trotting colts, breaks them to harness hnd drives them on the road, and there is hardly a {jerson, he he the owner of millions or the worker for l small wage, who does not enjoy riding behind u ,?ood roadster, or a pair of them. Dr. Neal? the ed- itor of that excellent publication, the Western Horse- nan, recently expressed his views about people who !ove the trotters In the following manner: "The breeding and development of the trotting horse lis an interesting study, and there is a fascination jabout breeding and developing trotters which appeals 'strongly to thousands of people in all parts of the country. The writer has traveled pretty extensively .during the past twenty years in many States, and has visited many out of the way places, but has yet to find a city, town or hamlet where one or more persons I could not be found who -were interested in breeding trotters. The trotting horse enthusiast is found in all walks of life, and his admirers are not confined to 1 any one class or condition of people, and some of the most sincere lovers of the trotters are to be found in the pulpit, on the stage, in the big financial institu- tions of the country, on the farms, in stores, shops and factories; in fact, the popularity of the trotting horse extends into every part of American life. Only a few weeks ago the writer met a Catholic priest, a warm- hearted, lovable man, devoted to his calling, who was one of the best posted men on trotting horse affairs he ever met. In the same city lives a railroad engi- neer, who drives a big locomotive across the country, pulling one of the fastest railroad trains in the world, and this engineer loves a trotter next to his wife and babies. "One of the leading officials of the railroad which employs this engineer is also an enthusiastic lover of trotters, and his only recreation is to breed a few trot- ters each year. Up in Pennsylvania there lives a man who is one of the largest coal and timber operators in the world, a man who annually transacts millions of dollars' worth of business, and employs thousands of men, and is one of the busiest men in the United States. Yet this man finds time each year to spend a week or two on the Grand Circuit watching the trot- ters. Down in Southern Ohio there lives another big coal and timber operator, whose business each year mounts up into millions, but he is never too busy to discuss the breeding and development of the trotter, and he breeds numbers of good horses each year. There are Senators and Congressmen, widely known in the halls of Congress, many of them who are real admirers of the trotters, and several members of the President's official family take a deep interest in the breeding and development of the light harness horse. "In every state there are ministers, lawyers, physi- cians and men high in official life who love the trot- ters, and take great delight in watching the breeding and development of the trotter, and yet some people wonder at the hold the trotter has upon the American people. This is the class of people who keep alive the interest in the trotter, and they are interested in him not because they want to speculate on his chances oC winning races, but simply because they love the horse, and take delight in seeing him in contests of speed. The liberal-minded, conservative people of the United States see no particular harm in speculating on trot- ting races and buying pools, but it is not because of this phase of trotting racing that they admire the successful fall meetings this year mean greater and better meetings next year with two $5000 stakes. Every horseman that can possibly afford to attend the! racing on the Southern Circuit next month should be making his plans for the trip. No.w is the time to boost. With the proper encouragement to those who give harness meetings in California, there can be a circuit built up on this Coast that will be the equal of any circuit held anywhere in the United States. DAN PATCH is the king of all harness horses be- yond dispute. No horse has ever appeared that could pace a mile in two minutes with the ease he ac- complishes the effort, and no horse has ever ap- proached the records he holds for miles below that mark. His latest is a mile in 1:55*4 at Lexington last Friday, breaking his own world's record of 1:56, made at Memphis last year. The first quarter was in 29*£ seconds, the next in 2S seconds, the third in 28% and the last quarter in 29 seconds. When we stop to think that there are many thoroughbred horses that cannot run and pull a sulky that fast, the greatness of Dan Patch is more pronounced. For three years this wonderful stallion has made heavy seasons in the stud and come out in the fall and broken the world's pacing record. His handsome proportions, his game- ness' and his marvelous speed are the admiration of horsemen all over the world. His owner, M. W. Sav- age, of the International Stock Food Company of In- dianapolis, is to be congratulated on the possession of such a noble animal. Dan Patch stands on a pedestal above all other equines and "none but himself can be his parallel." WE ARE OFTEN ASKED to decide wagers made by our readers, and are always willing to interpret the rules laid down or in general use which govern contests of all kinds, provided the parties asking for decisions will send in the conditions under which the wagers are made. It is not possible for any one to form an intelligent opinion in regard to the way a wager should be decided unless he knows the full conditions of the bet. "We were asked to publish in this issue of the Breeder and Sportsman an opinion as to the winner of a bet made by two well known harness horsemen during the California Circuit races, but as the conditions of the bet were not given, we have nothing to base a decision on. Parties asking this journal to decide wagers between them should send to this office a copy of the conditions of the wager, to which the signatures of both parties should be affixed. o THE DISPERSAL SALE of the Rancho del Paso horses, which will take place in New York, December 4th, is the talk of turfdom. The sales will be held by the Fasig-Tipton Company and William Easton will be the . auctioneer. There are thirty grandly bred stallions, including the imported horses Watercress. Star Ruby. St, Gatien, Goldfield, Golden Garter and others, and five hundred brood mares. Catalogues will soon be issued and will be sent to those who ap- ply to the Fasig-Tipton Company, Madison Square Garden, New York, for them. California breeders who cannot attend the sale, should send commissions on and buy what they can afford to. The dispersal of this great farm offers the chance of a life time to small breeders. SHORTHORNS from the celebrated Humboldt herd of Rush & Pierce, Suisun, are to be sold at that place on Thursday next. October 19th, by Fred H. Chase & Co. This is the first annual auction from this herd and farmers should not allow this opportunity to im- prove their stock to escape them. The cattle to be sold are all high class individuals, full blooded and registered, and are the result of years of intelligent breeding. The purchase of a good young bull or a few heifers will raise the standard of a herd of com- mon cattle in a few years if intelligently managed, so that they will be worth twice as much in the mar- ket as can be got for ordinary cattle. Try to be at Suisun next Thursday if you are interested in cattle. THE STAKES WILL CLOSE on Monday, October 23d, with the New California Jockey Club. There is added money in every instance where the stakes are from $2000 to $3000. The Burns Handicap, which is a guaranteed stake, is for $10,000. Look over the list of these rich stakes in the advertisement which appears on another page in this issue. A BIG ENTRY LIST is due the Southern California Circuit of harness racing, and every breeder, owner and trainer in the central and northern part of the state should make it his business to assist our south- ern friends in securing the same. They are using every effort to build up the game down there and ADMIRAL DEWEY, son of Bingen and Nancy Hanks, lowered his record to 2:04% at Lexington last Wednesday. He started to beat his record of 2:06% and lowered it two full seconds. This makes Admiral Dewey the third fastest trotting stallion. Cresceus holds the world's record with a mark of 2:02J/i, and John A. McKerron has second pla.ce with a record of 2:04^. Directum is in fourth place, his record being 2:05*4, made in a race. Onward Silver's mark is the same, but it was made against time and with a wind shield in front. ENTRIES for the Santa Maria meeting will close October 23d. , There will be six days' racing with one harness and two running events each day. See the advertisement in our business columns. PONY RACING TODAY AT SAN MATEO. The race meet of the California Polo and Pony Racing Association which commences today on the track of Charles W. Clark at San Mateo is expected to bring out some keen racing. Rudolph Spreckels and Mr. Clark will have the greatest number of entries, while J. Chancey Hayes of Oceanside will send up five from the south. W. E. Pedley of the lower country will also be represented by Carlotta, while Mr. Thorne of Palo Alto will have one which he figures should carry off some of the cups. He has entered Pegasus. Mr. Thorne banks his hopes on the fact that he has the same trainer handling his entry that had so much to do with the coming out of Dr. Leggo. What is thought to be the feature of the card for today is the half-mile event in which Midlove and Ulctma will come together. Both of these entries have been "preped" to the hour and Mr. Clark and Mr. Spreckels are centering all the efforts on these two for the time being. Among those which will carry Mr. Spreckels' colors are: Ulctma, Boastful, Hopeful, Don and Carlolly. Mr. Clark has entered Midlove, Ethel G, Bas Blancs, Alvernie and Queen Rucker. Of Mr. Spreckels' entries, Ulctma, Boastful and Carlolly have never raced on the association track. In fact the last two have never been raced on any track. In the workouts, at Mr. Spreckels' farm, they have turned up considerable speed and will be backed for the honors in the events in which they start. The number of stables represented today will not be as large as in previous years, but what may be lacked in number of owners represented has been more than made up by the quality and number of entries from the stables that take part in the meet. It is the opinion of those who have visited the Clark track the last week it would be hard to find a finer lot than those which are stabled there at the present time. Cost has been the last consideration, which has resulted in some of the best bred ponies being located in San Francisco. This is accentuated by the fact that Mr. Spreckels has just secured through Mr. Leighton, secretarv of the association, some fifty head of the finest ponies in the northwest. Those secured are mostly seven-eighths thorough- bred, being sired by Jim Miller and Steamboat Charlie. A week from today another card will be presented and the winner of the Midlove-Ulctma race will have to go a little longer distance with more weight. It may be that Marigold will be a contestant at this time, in which case there will be "a hard guessing bee." Thomas H. Williams, president of the New Cali- fornia Jockey Club, will act as presiding judge, while Thomas A. Driscoll, who has just returned to Bur- lingame, will be the senior steward. Fred Mulhol- land will act as starter. The first race on the card has been called for 2:15 p. m. There will be five races. The entries for the events next week will close next Wednesday with the secretary. Mr. Leighton states that there will be another meec the latter part of next month, commencing on Thanks- giving day. It is thought at this time many of the owners now absent from the city will have returned and be represented. Another meet is likely to take place around the first of the year or in the early spring. These races will be principally for the polo ponies that are in active service. So many foreign polo players are expected here this winter that it is thought a full card can be made up exclusively of the mounts. Mr. Leighton expects teams from the East, England, Australia. Honolulu and the southern part of the State. Among the noted visitors will be Sir Rupert Clark of Australia, who may bring over a wonder in the three-year-old race line to be raced at Oakland. If he is successful in carrying off the honors he will ship his entry to the east and race it over the sum- mer tracks. With Sir Rupert will come the Austra- lian polo team.

To this view, the best feature of the Lewis Clark Exposition is its great live stock show just over. trlly, in some particulars, the exposition shows local flavor. Rut in respect of its live stock show rank is taken with the great world's fairs. Quant. ty fflcient Quality was up to highest expecta- The United States and Canada responded cor- to invitations for entries. Notable imports. - om England. France. Belgium and Germany were shown. Horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and swine had proper share in public attention and interest. Home breeders won blue ribbons. It was thought that Eastern men. skilled in fitting and giving polish, would have the Pacific Coast at a disadvantage. Not egon and the Coast made possible the Exposi- tion Oregon and the Coast made the stock show and in the glory. California sent the famous liolsteins, the Glide & Son. the Eakle and the Rush f equalling any .show on record. The uniform ex- cellence of animals shown is remarkable. King Ed- flrst premium aged bull, also champion and champion, was shown by J. it. Glide & Son ,,r Sacramento, who also won other honors in this branch of the .^how. Rush tt Pierce took several ribbons, c. E. Ladd ami II. YV. Peel were th< paj exhibitors, representing Oregon and Wash- ington with a grand array of entries of this noble breed. The Galloways shown by Clark of Minnesota and Brown & Son of Missouri, were exceptionally fine. A fair display of Aberdeen Angus was made by Oregon lers The lover of the Jersey was in his element. Such herds as those of the Ladd Estate, among the chief Jersey herds of the world, D. H. Looney. H. West, Atkinson Bros., and others, are a source of pride to Oregon and glory to any dairy country as well as to all those who appreciate grace, beauty and useful- ness in the cow. The Ladd Estate received chief place in awards, with the Looney herd second and other honors distributed among smaller breeders. The Ladd Estate showed Loretta D., the famous win- ner of the dairy test at St. Louis, but the cow being dry at present was not entered in the contests. Loretta D. is a strong, rugged cow. inclining to coarse- ness, but a great producer. Holsteins were there to "beat the Dutch." For Holland could not show a better collection. The Pierce herd from California attracted especial atten- tion. Mr. Pierce's chief herd bull, Jetse (imported), is perfect in type, a grand specimen of the breed to whose ideals he is so true. Jetse did not show quite as much form as usual, the long journey being a decided handicap. The Pierce cows and young stock were first class. Irwin of Minneapolis, the Hazle- wood Company of Spokane. Frakes of Scappose, were the other exhibitors. It was a surprise to most when the Frakes bull, Oregon Lunde de Kol, was placed first. This bull is coarse, beefy in form, not a Hol- stein type at all, and might be expected to win only in a weight contest. The Frakes cow. MechthiHe, is a grand individual, perfect in conformation, lacking nowhere unless it be a shade in facial turn and win- ning place worthily. A herd of Ayrshires and a herd of Brown Swiss were shown. The only families of these varieties, so far as this observation goes, in the North Pacific. Sheep, goats and swine had their innings, and, while not shown in great numbers, had enough quality and variety to interest any requirement. One hog breeder displayed upon his walls his ambition to "Make two pounds of pork grow where one grew before." Smith of Hazlewood was this humorist. It is a vital point in this whole business. It is evident that the Pacific Coast claims great- ness, and must continue to do so, largely along agri- cultural lines. Live stock interests are second to none in the farming world. The show is educational. To learn of care, of feeding, of fitting, is a call first and last for the blue ribbon end of the show ring. The Live Stock Show was popular. Attendance was good. Everybody was there but some of the lead- ing officials of the Exposition, who ought to have been. Judges in the main were satisfactory. Credit is due Director Withycombe of the Oregon Experi- ment Station, who suggested holding the show, to Superintendent Wisdom, who made and managed it and to Mr. George Gammie, who was always the right man in the right place with balm for the wounded and comfort for the disappointed.

A BIG AUCTION SALE. £ ■■"' : The Meek Estate, comprising several thousam acies of the finest land in California, situated betweei the towns of Haywards and San Lorenzo in Alamed; county, has been divided amongst the heirs, and oi the 27th and 2Sth of this month the personal propertj of this great farm is to be sold at auction. Then are 150 head of horses and mules, large number- of wagons, carts, buggies, bikes, harness, and every thing required to run a big farm of this kind. Amon^ the horses there are several fine road teams, gen- tlemen's driving horses, family horses, and many fim draft horses and mules. This will be one of th« biggest auction sales ever held in California, and will take two days to sell everything. The Meek Estate has bred many fast trotters pacers in the past, and while at an auction sale 1904 nearly all the trotting stock was sold, there are quite a number of well-bred mares and geld still on the farm that have been used as road ho and will be sold at this sale. Among them is Char] Steele, one of the best roadsters in the State. He a full brother to Janice 2:08*4. A bay mare by Wei come 2.10% out of Edwina 2:21% by Sidney, is also a very fine road mare, perfectly gentle and can be driven by a lady, is also to go in this sale. Another is the mare Cricri 2:20 by Direct 2:05%, out of Cricket 2:10 by Steinway. This mare is a fine roadster and will make a great brood mare. A thoroughbred saddle horse, thoroughly broken -and but four years old, will also be sold. The draft stock is an especially fine lot of well-bred and fine looking animals. The wagons, carts, harness, agricultural implements, etc are all in good repair. The dates of the sale are October 27th and 2Sth. 1-- tnt - le ir hei :ng, rle, .e is HENRY DUNLAP SELLS HAROLD D. FOR $3250. Philadelphia, Oct. 4, 1905. Editor Breeder and Sportsman — I drop you a few lines to let you know that Harold D. holds the speed track record at Philadelphia. He won the fastest half mile two in three contest ever raced on the Philadelphia speed track. He was driven to wagon and won his heats in 1:00% and 1:00%, beating such horses as Tou Bet 2:07, Judge Mills 2: OS. Wilkie Eg- bert 2:10^, Robert M. 2:06%. Billy 2:14 and Iowa Joe, said to be the fastest horse in the Driving Club here. This race took place last Saturday before ten thousand people. After the race I sold Harold D. to James R. Brown, 241s North Thirty-first street, Phil- adelphia, for $3250. When I arrived at Saugus, Mass., with my horse after leaving California, he was sick and would not eat. They took me out of the sulky before the fourth heat and put Gillis up. and he got Harold D. shut out, .but according to the rule they had to give me a position and let the horse start again. I finishei fourth with him. One month after that I started him at Rochester, N. H. There were just three of us in the race and I managed to keep from getting the flag and got third money. At the next town. Concord, he was not in the money, and as he was getting no better I turned him over to a veterinary for a week and he got better. I came to Philadelphia a month ago and Harold D. got to eating well and soon got strong, showing his old speed in his work. You can see by his work last Saturday that he is quite a horse right now. I fully expect him to get a mark of 2:05 next year. He is the best horse in a race I ever saw. They scored me twenty-two times in the first heat at Saugus, and he was pacing all the time, although a sick horse. I will be home some day next week and glad to get back. I must say they turn out better to the harness races in California than they do in the New England States. Respectfully. H. H. DUNLAP. ENTITLED TO PRIVILEGES OF THE TRACK. Judge Hunt of the Superior Court of San Francisco rendered a decision last Saturday in the case of San- fanson against the New California Jockey Club, in which he gave the opinion that the club had no right to keep a person from the privileges of the track who Is caught "flashing" or "signaling" the result of races. During the last racing season Sanfason bought ad- mlssion to the Emeryville track and signaled the re- sulis i«i h.mk milkers doing business in San Fran- cisco. The racing officials admitted they ejected him from the track upon the ground that he was guilty of immoral conduct and of violating the ordinances of San Francisco in sending the results to determine bets made in illegally run poolrooms. The statute of 1S93, says Judge Hunt, make it un- lawful to refuse admission to any theater, racecourse or other place of public amusement to any person STICKLER FOR RULES LOST. When the rain prevented racing at Electr:c Park yesterday the horsemen gathered in the main building and talked horse, says a Baltimore writer. The ques- tion of making horsemen engaged in a race comply strictly with the rules was a subject under discussion, when one of a party told the following story: "I was officiating at a meeting held at one of the lower Maryland county tracks a few seasons ago when I saw a stickler for rules get it in the neck in a most unexpected manner. There was a little fellow driving in the race, and his horse was winning. When he won the first heat he jumped on the scale and did it cleverly, the beam raising when he landed, and the clerk marked him as that weight. "Another fellow in the race watched the little man do the scale-jump act after he had won the second heat. When he won the third heat and did the jump act again, the other fellow was right there and de- manded that he stay on the scales and weigh prop* 'erly. Wnen this was done the winner of three heats was found to weigh but 135 pounds instead of the necessary 150. The clerk reported the fact to the judges, who promptly disqualified the horse which hadl won the three heats. "Now, this was all right and proper. The fellow! who had insisted on making the little fellow weight had finished second in each heat, and thought that when the judges disqualified the man short of weight the winning of the race would then and there be j awarded his horse without the time record made by the disqualified horse. Well, the judges did nothing of the kind. When they disqualified the horse whose driver was short of weight they ordered the race to continue until a winner developed. "The fellow who had protested was in for it, and went out and won the next heat, though he was forced to take a fast mark in doing it. In the fifth heat his horse made a bad break and was distanced. Instead of getting the second money, which he had won when he had the other fellow's horse disqualified, he got no money, but penalized his horse with a fast mark. The fact that the two drivers in the story were both driving in races at this meeting called to my mind the incident related." A big sale of trotting and pacing horses is planned I by Fred H. Chase & Co., the well known live stock j auctioneers, to take place at Pleasanton race track N some time in February next. It is proposed to conduct I this sale on the same lines- that the big eastern com- I bination sales are held, and on the day before the horses are sold all that are to be sold as speed or I road horses will be shown on the track and timed by M experienced timers and the time announced. Among j those who ha\e already promised consignments to this j' big sale are Mr. A. B. Spreckels, who will send thirty || head from Aptos Farm ; Mr. W. A. Shippee, J Oakwood Park Stock Farm, and Mr. A. J. Molero. This sale will be extensively advertised and . will be one of the largest ever held in California- | During February there are always many eastern buy- ' ers in California looking for good prospects who would rather buy at auctions than any other way, and there is no doubt but the sale will be a big success.

It has been tried many imes and always with the same results — a financial iss. A recent shining example is that of the Wabash, iidiana, "Farmers' No Horse Race Fair," promoted lid conducted by the Daugherty Bros , with Will H. ieming as acting manager. As a "Pumpkin and Pig" now, with a complete and valuable list of prizes for [.-erything produced on the farm, in the local work hops, in the household kitchen, and fancy work do- estic corner, with "side shows" and special attrac- pns galore — and not a device of any kind at which penny could be jeopardized by chance, the "Farm- is' Fair" had every attraction except 'hoss racinV 'nd what was the result? Not enough farmers — the kiss of people some would have us believe do not ire for horse racing, attended to pay the gate keep- 's, and had not the citizens of Wabash, with whom .e promoters are exceedingly popular, turned out in rce through pure good fellowship, the Daugherty cos.' great combination sale plant, at which place me "Farmers' Fair" was held, would hardly have lid the loss. This is the usual experience in trying 1 run a fair without horse racing. cerned, it does not matter which class of horses he fancies or desires — roadster, coach or draft — he must stick to the same class of sires, coupling the best to the best with the assurance that success will fol- low. Horse World: It is apparent to all who have given e matter any attention that it is time some better an of identifying horses be adopted by the parent otting associations. In spite of the efforts which e put forth to prevent the masquerading of horses [|i the harness tracks it is a fact that there has •en more ringing this year than almost any year that lln be recalled. There is hardly a racing circuit of y importance in which there has not been one or iore horses suspected of being ringers. Several hich are doubtless ringers have managed to get pay with quite a lot of money before suspicions he- me strong enough to cause their earnings to be pro- sted, and others have vanished almost instantly, spicion being turned toward them at once. Several ans for better identifying horses have been proposed, |!id it seems as though the two parent trotting asso- itions ought to get together during the coming win- 'r and combine upon some plan for making it less sy for unprincipled men to indulge in this form of leating. Even with the adoption of the best of the ■ ethods suggested there will doubtless be some ring- g, but that it cannot be prevented in a great degree ems hard to believe. The evil is one that ought to ■ dealt with before another racing season opens, and is to be hoped that the men who manage the af- irs of the National and American Trotting Associa- diis will take this view of the matter and act accord- giy. Spirit of the West: The racing season of 1905 is taring the end. It can be said without fear of eon- adiction that the season of 1905, especially in the 'est, has been the most successful in the history of e light-harness horse. When Sprit of the West in l,:ars gone by expressed the opinion that there were nple interest in the West, and sufficient foundation otting bred stock for the West to become an impor- nt factor in producing high-class race horses, and mducting flrst-class meetings there were a few ■ople who were inclined to hold different views, but me has proven the soundness of our opinion, and to- iy no section of country on the map is in a more •osperous condition than is the West in the produc- an of high-class standard bred horses and the hold- \ g of successful race meetings. The stigma of being ider the dictation and control of the gambling ele- ent dees not now and never will obtain in the "est as it did and does now in many prominent East- n race centers. There is a diffei'ence between per- itting men who are inclined to place a wager on a irse race who are interested in the production and -velopment of the industry, and permitting a class ' men who have not one dollar invested in the busi- es and follow the race course only to gamble and ctate to the association. The West is on the right ack and it should continue along the same lines, here is reason in all things, and the public does not ■nsure a certain amount of genteel sport, but it will jt stand for open violation of order and decency. Farm and Home: Except in the development of the otting horse the United States has little to boast of the line of horse improvement, and it may be ques- oned as to how much must be allowed for skillful iving. better tracks and appliances. The recognized ■eeds of horses are the results of continued and per- stent devotion to an acknowledged standard of ex- llence for that particular breed. And until farmers ■cognize and follow the experience and practice of iose who have preserved certain qualities and char- :teristics by breeding in the same line for genera- ons, they will not achieve success. Specimens of the nge horses brought eastward indicate quite clearly ,hat continuous breeding from stallions of the same ass will do with the native, unimproved mares as undation stock. Size, form and color of potent sires "e reproduced and fixed in the offspring after a few aerations. But the mental characteristics of tem- > tr incident to the half wild mares it seems were ore difficult to overcome than physical con forma - 3n. In the early days of the Shorthorn herdbook ) e offspring of females having four crosses of pure . ed sires became eligible to record as full bloods, ■cause in such cases, the good qualities of the domi- int breed were, to all appearances, fixed and trans- issible This is the lesson the farmer must learn and ' >ide by. So far as the principle of breeding is con- Breeders' Gazette: It is wonderful how closely the search has been prosecuted for the young stallions of size and substance and general excellence of appear- ance Our information is that in France, Belgium, England, Scotland and Germany, there is hardly one left that would do to bring to this country with any hope of making any adequate return on him. Letters received tell. too. of flying orders off the wires calling for this or that number of stallions to fill out a load or eke out one already left for foreign shores. The way these foreign importations have melted from first hands after they have landed has never been equaled in the history of the trade, and in domestic transac- tion there is marked activity. In these foreign countries the trouble now is. not how to sell the horses but to get them to sell after they have been obtained and gathered together into the dealers' stables. Over there the breeders of pure- bred stock assuredly are in clover and there are cogent reasons why the trade in this country is turn- ing more and more to buy the product of American studs. There is no reason why there should be a value for an imported horse and another and far lower one for a home-bred horse of equal merit and pedigree. Indeed, we learn that in some parts of this country and for some uses the home-bred commodity is already esteemed if not the best at least the price- equal of his imported brethren. Therefore it will stand our breeders in hand to go slowly, taking advan- tage of the rising tide slacking back at the right time. Indeed it looks very much as though this is the time in the affairs of that trade which if taken at the flood will lead on to fortune. There may be no occasion for unseemly haste, but there is reason for unremitting work in gathering together stocks with which to carry on the future work. Times are good, demand is rarely distributed over many classes, and many new men are getting into this business of breed- ing of pure-breds but the top of the wave should not be let slip to obtain some few of the real top- pers that are in time to come to be the great win- ners, and best of all for the sires and dams of the equine prodigies that American generations yet un- born will honor as well as their imported ancestors.

Secretary A. W. Bruner has sent the following cir- cular letter to the horsemen of this coast: Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 5th. 1905. I wish to call your attention to the closing of en- tries on October 24th for our San Bernardino, Santa Ana and Los Angeles fall meetings and trust that every horseman will make it a point to give us every entry possible. We have spent our time and money in forming this circuit for the benefit of the harness horse interests and it is now up to the horsemen to make it a success from a racing standpoint by giving us a good, liberal entry. From a financial standpoint, we have taken care of that end of the game and your money is ready at the wire. Don't fail to enter fear- ing your class will not fill and race may be declared off. Our purses and conditions are most liberal, and by refering to our July meeting you will note that classes having but three starters in one thousand dol- lar purses were allowed to go. Our method is fair treatment to the horsemen in every sense of the word. It is our intention to give an early spring circuit, in- creasing our classes and purses at San Bernardino and Santa Ana, and just as soon as possible to estab- lish a $5000 stake for trotters and a $5000 stake for pacers at our Los Angeles fall meetings. In other words, we propose building up a Southern California Circuit with a reputation for liberality in purses and conditions governing same that will attract the atten- tion of horsemen from all parts of the country. Our circuit at present comprises three of the safest and fastest tracks there is on the Pacific Coast and only equalled on the Grand Circuit. The San Ber- nardino track has just been graded, fenced and re- clayed, with other improvements, at an expense of $12,000, making it a thoroughly up-to-date plant, and my prediction is that it will prove the fastest track in the State. Santa Ana has always been considered one of the fastest tracks in California, while our Los Angeles track holds the Coast record for pacing (2:03%), also for trotting (2:05%). Taking into con- sideration the fact that our circuit gives the closing meeting in the fall and the early opening meeting in the spring, say nothing about" our superior winter climate to train and prepare your horses for a hard season's campaign, horsemen cannot afford to overlook this opportunity of getting a chance to earn their winter's oats in the fall and a get-away stake in the spring. Make your entries through the entire circuit and select your track to winter at, resting as- sured that you will be treated right. Address your entries and communications to A. W. Bruner, secretary. 313 W. 2d street, Los Angeles, Cal.

Achllle 2:15%, the New England stallion, is by Bin- '.'6%, dam Starlighl 2:15%, by Electioneer; in the once- champion four-year-old Sally Ben- ion 2:17%. who also produced Serpol -':10 and other fast ones. The two-year-old trotter. Jack McKerron (2) 2:23% is certainly a great youngster. His mile at Elyria last week, when he trotted a half mile track that' is far from being a fast track in 2:23%, stamps him as a two-year-old of more than usual promise. The mile was an easy one, the first quarter being done in 3S% seconds, the half was reached in 1:13% and the three- quarters in 1:48%. and home in 2:23%. The geldings have shown up wonderfully well this year. There are Wentworth 2:04%, George G. 2:05%, Tiverton 2:05%, Dr. Strong 2:06, Snyder McGregor 2:06%, Norman B. 2:06%. Tom Axworthy 2:07. Kid Shea 2:07%, Turley 2:0S. and a few more to hear from. Everett L. Smith, known best to readers of the turf papers as "Percy," over which pen name he has writ- ten interestingly for the American Horse Breeder, New Tork Telegraph and other papers, has recently connected himself with the Fiss, Doer & Campbell Co.. one of the leading New* Tork horse dealing firms. Mr. Smith will have charge of the advertising depart- ment of that firm. The 21-year-old stallion Shenango won a three in five race at Groton, Mass., one day last month in 2:39%, 2:40% and 2:39%. He's no Osier hoss. But four trotting stallions have entered the 2:10 list this season. One. Mainland 2:09%, is by Axtell 2:12, while another, Mainsheet 2:08%, is out of an Axtell mare. Ellemac 2:27, dam of Turley 2:08, died recently at Ellemac Stock Farm, Memphis, Tenn. Ellemac was 15 years old and was by Alvan 2:26%, dam Linda, un- traced, and three other foals by her are all speedy. They are by French Plate 2:26%. sire of Turley. Samana by Bingen 2:06%, out of Mont Rose 2: IS, by Electioneer, grandam Rosemont, by Piedmont, out of Beautiful Bells 2:29%, has taken a pacing record of 2:19%. Hallina .Morgan 2:14%, the three-year-old filly that raced through the Colorado circuit, and has since been racing through the Great Western Circuit, was broken to harness at eight months of age and wore the hopples from that day on whenever she was hitched up. She cannot pace a mile in three minutes without the straps. The San Francisco Driving Club will hold a meeting to-morrow over the Santa Rosa Stock Farm track. A new standard performer for Zombro 2:11 is Jealous 2:2f i's list is getting to be a most creditable one. The mare Rosa Bonheur by Antinous has reduced her record to 2:16% this year. Harold D. 2:11% by Dexter Prince, has been soldi to a Philadelphia gentleman for $3250. Ed Geers has won nearly $30,000 with the string of horses lie has raced through the Grand Circuit. The entry list was so large at Lexington that sev- eral of the races have been divided, making two races. Fred H. Chase & Co. announce for the evening of Tuesday. November 14th, a sale of thirty head of trotting bred mares and geldings from the well known Rose Dale Stock Farm, Santa Rosa. These animals are by such stallions as "Washington McKinney 35751. son of the great McKinney 2.11%; Daly 2:15, sire of eight trotters in the list, and St. "Whips, a son of the sire of Azote 2:04%. They are out of producing mares by Steinway. Eugene Casserly, Alexander, An- sel, Silas Skinner, Daly and Digitalis. This is the first of a series of annual sales from this farm. Size, conformation, soundness and speed have been the aim in breeding these horses and the public can be certain that they will be just as represented. There will be many fine road animals in the consignment and a number that have speed enough to race and win. Catalogues will be issued soon and can be had by application to Fred H. Chase & Co., 1732 Market street, San Francisco, where the sale is to be held. Emma T. 2:17% by Socrates, dam of Miss Adbell. winner of this year's Kentucky Futurity, is also the dam of another fast trotter. On Friday of last week her daughter. Emma Brook, took a record of 2:11%, and won second money in the 2:14 class trot at Lex- ington. Emma Brook is by Silent Brook 2:16%. The match race between Faust and Daisy May- comes' off to-morrow afternoon over the Alameda track. It is for $500 a side. The matinee season will be opened at Los Angeles on Thanksgiving Day with an excellent program of names? racing between horses owned by members of the Los Angeles Driving Club. Mr. A. W. Brunei-, who was recently elected secretary of this club, is at work on a program that will bring together the best horses owned in the club. Mr. C. Z. Hebert of Salinas, offered $100 as a stake to be trotted for this year by three-year-olds sired by his stallion Bruno 2:16%. The race was trotted last Saturday at the Salinas track. There were but two starters, both of them fillies. Mr. S. J. Smart's filly won in straight heats over Mr. Henry Gross's entry. The best time was 3:07. Kid Shea, the trotter by Nitrogen that has been winning on the Grand Circuit this year and has re- duced his record from 2:14% to 2:07%. has a lot of California blood in his veins. His dam is the Cali- fornia bred mare Elsinore by Chief of the Echoes, second dam by A. W. Richmond. The Central California Fair is being held at Han- ford. Kings county this week, is the best ever held at that place. The stock exhibit is large and the at- tendance has been good every day. The track at Spokane must be slow. Oveta 2:lo!/2 won the 2:16 trot there Tuesday, defeating Sam Bow- ers and Kitty Clover in 2:25, the fastest heat in the race. Zephyr 2:07%. by Zombro 2:11. and her dam Gazelle 2:11%, by Gossiper 2:14%, are both consigned to the Old Glory sale in November. Gazelle is also the dam of Zolock 2:05%. Mr. S. Christianson of this city has purchased from Chas. F. Kapp the handsome colt Charlie Kapp. foaled 1904. by Stam B. 2:11%, dam Marguerite K. by Dom Pedro. This colt is entered in the Breeders' Futurity and looks like a good prospect. Ted Hayes has him in hand at Pleasanton. Mr. W. H. Lumsu-n's filly 2:09%, the fastest three- year-old pacer of the year, comes from a developed ancestry. She is by Bonnie Direct 2:05%, son of Director 2:17 and Bon Bon 2:26.

In 18SS the horse was the sensation of l he racing season at Fail-view Park. X. Y. In that year he beat the famous Director. Dick Wright and Pigeon. At the time of his death he was owned by John Sherrer of Springdale The horse was valued at JIO.Oimi jn 1SS.". and Sherrer refused that amount. vhich was offered by Frank Work, the New York millionaire.

Grace McKinney 2:22%. over a half mile track, is a new performer for McKinney. She is a pacer and; ',: is owned by John Lawlor of Petaluma. This record! ;l was made in a winning race at the Ukiah Fair last Saturday. A dispatch from San Bernardino dated October 10th. I. says: An attempt to kill "Rosco," the promising pacer, I; belonging to A. S. Fox of Redlands, was discovered I- this morning by the stableman. The horse had been . slashed across the throat, the blade being buried three ,'. inches in the animal's neck and ripping open the neck for four inches, just missing the jugular vein. There is no clew. The horse has become renowned in this section by its fine appearance in matinee races given here during the past year by the San Bernard- ino County Driving Club. The horse will probably recover, but will be scarred permanently. Fox refuse $5000 for the animal, and has offered $500 for th apprehension of the miscreant. Albuta by Altivo won $1433 at the Columbus meet- ing. He will return to California a winner of con- siderable more than his expenses and with a mark ui 2:11% to his credit. There is always a little rift of sunshine in the blackest cloud. Quite a number of the California trainers who went East have not won much money, but the railroad fare from Chicago to San FrancisM has been reduced to $33 which is some consolation. Good prices are being paid for good trotting colts right along. Last week Henry B. Rea of Pittsburg, Pa., sold to Montgomery & Oliver of that city the brown colt Exton by Expedition 2:15%, dam Lady How-th by Sternberg 2:15%, grandam by Wilkes Boy 2:24%, great grandam by Happy Medium. The price paid for the colt was $11,000 Exton is in Ed Benyon's stable. He is a three-year-old and one of the hand somest colts of his age in training. Exton was timed separately in the second heat of the Kentucky Stock Farm purse at Columbus in 2:10. Pilatus 2:e!*-j by (inward was sold at auction at Lexington last week and brought $1S00. He was pur- by the Franklin County Breeders' Association nessee and was a bargain at the price, as he is well bred. It is reported here that James Rennie. manager and superintendent of the Stanford ranch at Vina, has tendered his resignation to Charles G. Lathrop and will sever his connection with the vast estate of 60.000 In this county and 40.000 acres at Gridley on ictober 15. Rennie's resignation gives rise to the rumor that this immense tract, which is part of the "-1 University endowment, is soon to be divided Into small tracts of from ten acres up and sold to agriculturists. The property in Butte county !s assessed at nearly $1,000,000. The filly Silva, that took a two-year-old pacing record of 2.2S at the Hollister meeting last month will be sent to Charles Whitehead, the well known Salinas reinsman to train for the three-year-old events nexl year.

Friday, October tith, the fourth day of the Kentucky lotting Horse Breeders Association at Lexington, s,v a large crowd at the track and fine sport resulted. The feature of the day, the Johnstone stake for jM-class trotters, value $2,000, was won by Albert H who defeated the $5000 Emma Brook in easy jshion in three of four heats. The race would have -len a gift for the gray gelding in straight heats but ft broke badly in the second heat, and while he caught is stride in two or three lengths he was unable to lertake the mare. Ed Geers won his first race of le meeting in the second event, the 2:12 trot, when \s Silverthorne mare Gold Dust Maid won the event j straight heats from Lady Pauline C. The 2:lS-class pace, the last event on the card, was •m by Dan P., who captured three heats in clever Wle after losing the first heat, in which he made a "or showing. The unfinished first division of the ilS trot was won by A.

On Saturday, Dan Patch, king of pacers, clipped :hree-quarters of a second from his own world's •-ecord. negotiating the mile in 1:55%. A crowd of 10,000 was already in a high state of enthusiasm over the smashing of the world's race record for three .beats, and when Dan Patch's time was given out the Excitement approached frenzy. Cheering people threw hats and wraps in the air and swarmed on to the track despite the efforts of policemen, the ovation .continuing several minutes. The great son of Joe Patchen and Zeelika appeared for his trial at 4 o'clock. The track was lightning fast ■and there was no wind, the weather conditions being Ideal. Scott Hudson was behind the pacemaker. A strip of cloth between the wheels of the forward sulky to prevent dirt from being thrown behind was the only suggestion of a wind shield. Hersey was behind Dan Patch. The books offered 4 to 5 either way on the result of the effort. There were cheers when 0:29% was hung out for the first quarter. Dan Patch's nose was almost against Hudson's coat and the crowd began vainly yelling to Hudson to move up. Hope ■'was stimulated when 0:057% was posted for the half. Excitement became intense when the three-quarters was passed in 1:26% and the spectators began shout- ing encouragement to the drivers. Into the stretch came the great pacer still keeping his even seemingly effortless stride, when the runner at his sulky wheel began to crawl up. Hudson gave a little more rein, but Hersey sat a statute, not urging his charge with , whip or word. Dan Patch made no final effort. He just finished the mile as he had begun it. He had scarcely broken into a sweat when led back to receive the plaudits of the crowd. M. W. Savage, his owner, had the announcer pub- licly thank Hudson for his work as pacemaker. He also announced that Dan Patch on Wednesday would be sent against the record of 1:59% made without a . dustshield. 1 The three fastest heats ever paced marked the 2:04 pace, and the average time for the total heats of the day was the fastest on record. In the initial heat of , the 2:04 pace Hazel Patch gave the Lexington track - the 1905 race record of 2:02% but this was smashed in t the next heat won by Locanda in 2:02 flat. He, like- j wise covered the third heat in 2:04%. The three finishes were pronounced the most heart-breaking t seen this year. Nathan Straus, the favorite through- ■ out the pooling though fields sold at from 60 to 50 to 50 to 30, had to be content with third money. The betting on the event was the heaviest of the meeting. . The Wilson stake for 2:20 class pacers had a field , of only four horses, and it was won in straight heats by Bolivar, the gelding from California.

Turley, Ed Geer's bay gelding by French Plate, won the feature of the card on Thursday, the Walnut Hall Farm cup, valued at $3000. with a handsome silver trophy valued at $500, donated by L. V. Harkness, as an added feature for the race. The second heat of this race resulted in Geers losing a claim of foul against McDonald, the judges dismissed the complaint and placed the horses as they had finished. The "Silent" reinsman was angry, and he plainly told McDonald he knew he had been guilty of a foul. Geers won this cup in 1S97 with The Monk and again in 1903 with Billy Buch. The 2:10 pace was won by the even money favorite, Citation, in straight heats, but she was hard pressed to defeat Byrle Wilkes in the last two heats. Ben F. won third money.

COTJRCBAINE, Agent, Port Clinton, Ohio. * To go barefoot is the natural condition for the horse, but that is no reason why farmers should let young animals ruin their feet and legs by neglect- ing them should the toes grow too long or should the hoofs become split. It frequently occurs that the hoofs of colts have grown too long in winter and sometimes when they are turned out to pasture without having the feet properly levelled, undesirable conditions develop before any notice has been taken of the defects. A careful watch should therefore be kept over the feet of young horses even in the pas- ture fields. A few minutes now and again with a rasp and hoof knife will correct any malformations of the hoof .and give the horse much more comforx and ensure a longer period of usefulness. The feet of the colt should receive even more care than those of the old horse. The colt is in the form- ative period; his entire form is pliable and if the feet are not kept in proper condition the foot, fet- lock and leg may be permanently diverted from their normal shape and direction. On the other hand, the pliability of the young horse's bony structure and the readiness with which defects will correct themselves when the causes are removed, makes it easy to keep the colt in proper shape with very lit- tle care. A writer in the Iowa "Agriculturist" gives the following pointers on the care of the unshod- feet of horses and colts: 'Normally the toe is three times and the quarters twice as long as the heel. Frequently the toe be- comes entirely too long. This results in throwing too much pressure upon the heel, which In conse- quence is worn too thin and becomes sore. The ani- mal will now make an effort to throw the weight upon the toe to relieve the heel; the toe becomes broken or worn very short and the heel grown out longer than it normally should so that our animal now becomes 'bear footed.* " Both of these conditions are defective and are likely to injure the horse. When the toe is too long and the heel becomes very thin and low the axis of the fetlock is broken backwards, which produces a strain upon the tendons and ligaments of that region. Injury is also done to the bones of the foot. More- over, the animal is defective in his. gait since the great length of the toe interferes with the proper lifting of the foot from the ground. Similarly in the bear foot form the axis of the foot is broken for- wards and the weight of the horse does not fall upon the center of the foot; the tendons are strained and his gait is defective. Another serious danger is the likelihood of the roof breaking aha cracking. If we allow it to grow- too long it becomes thin and in rapid work this long thin bone is almost certain to break. If only the surplus horn were broken off no alarm, arises, but frequently so much is broken off that it renders the horse lame. In . the same way cracks often arise; these weaken the hoof and if they do not receive at- tention, develop to serious proportions. Many horeses which wear shoes for the winter months are allowed to run barefoot with the return of spring. At this point care must be taken. After removing the shoe the foot must be carefully trim- med. With an ordinary hoof knife the, entire ground- ing surface of the hoof may be trimmed moderately. The sharp outer edge of the wall must then be well rounded off with a rasp, removing it at the toe, gen- erally as far as the white line which appears on the sole. Unless this precaution is taken before the horse has travelled any considerable distance large pieces of the wall will be broken away.

The Deseret Agricultural Society above referred to, show ;tt Salt i.:ikp City, October 4th to 7th. In a report of th.- American Fox Terrier Club it appears that Wan dee Doris is nominated the cham- pion f5j <&lxe gvce&ev cxxxXt Qpoviaxnaxx 9 The denfendant, by his attorney, W. A. Alderson. seelrs a further extension of thirty days, in which to file proof of the allegations. On motion, it was resolved, that such extension be granted. Tucker vs. Seattle Dog Fanciers' Association. A protest: It appears from the complaint that this was an appeal filed with the Bench Show Committee after the expiration of the seven days allowed for such appeal, and the protest was overruled on that ground by the executive board of the defendant club: the complainant alleged that at the dog show of the S. D. F. A., held in April. 1905, the special prize, a silver cup, offered for the best American-bred Aire- dale Terrier, was awarded to Colne Sandy, owned by W. F. Delabatre, of Port Los Angeles, registered in the A. K. C. S. B.t No. 7S510, as being bred by Joseph H. Lauris, of Montreal, Can. Reserve was awarded to Dr. George Newlands' Colne Lochiel. A. K. C. S. B., S1106, bred by the same breeder. The defendant club having refused to consider the pro- test, it was resolved on motion that it be instructed to return the deposit of $5 to the plaintiff pending the decision of this committee, the said deposit to be transmitted through this committee, and it was further resolved that the secretary be and hereby is instructed to take steps for the procurance of further information in the case. In the case of G. C. Israel: A petition for the re- moval of disqualification. The petitioner sets forth under date of August S at Olympia, Wash., that he was disqualified with many others for having exhibited at the dog show held in April, 1905, by the Seattle Kennel Club, in contraven- tion of the rules of the American Kennel Club as enunciated by the Pacific Advisory Committee, that he exhibited under a misapprehension and in ignor- ance of said rules, and that he is and always was loyal to the American Kennel Club, and for those reasons prays for reinstatement to good standing on filing with the secretary of this committee an under- taking that he will not in future exhibit at any dog ishow that is not held under the rules and with the sanction of the American Kennel Club. Burnham vs. Lepman: A charge of fraud and misconduct. > This charge, brought by Dr. W. P. Burnham, of 3an Francisco, against Horace G. Lepman, of Chicago, Ithat the plaintiff sent the defendant $135 in pay- ■ment of a Collie bitch, that the defendant received 'the money, of which proof is furnished, and that de- fendant has not to date delivered the bitch or re- turned the money, nor has he made any other acknowledgment or return. The secretary stated |:hat he had sent defendant an attested copy of the charge, and had allowed him the customary time in .vhich to make answer. On motion the case was laid apon the table, awaiting defendant's answer or presentation at the next regular meeting. Butler vs. C. W. Buttles, of Kansas City: A charge >f fraudulent misrepresentation. This is a charge brought by Fred. P. Butler, of *3an Francisco, that defendant advertised a Setter log for sale, nine months old, high class and well nade, and that plaintiff bought the dog on those ■epresentations. On arrival the dog was found to be ,m exceedingly poor specimen, of which fact plaintiff .dduces corroborative testimony, and accuses defend- imt of fraud and misrepresentation. The secretary tated that he had sent defendant an attested copy of •he charge, and had alowed him the usual time in vhich to make answer. On motion, consideration of he case was postponed until the next regular meeting. There being no further business, the meeting djourned. Attest. J. P. NORMAN, Secretary. STOCKTON SHOW. The A. K. C, at the above mentioned meeting, con- idered an important question when the status of udges — amateur and professional, was discussed from ap to bottom. Lack of space this week necessitates iving that portion of the published proceedings of he meeting in our next issue. At a meeting of the Advisory Committee held last ■eek. we are informed, that in the Buttles case, the efendant was disqualified. So far as the penalty oes, it is a move in the right direction, for the re- ression of the growing practice of unscurpulous ealers in taking undue advantage of purchasers at distance. We had an opportunity of viewing the ag shortly after Mr. Butler came into possession of [ .. The description of the animal that induced the urchase was so much at variance with the appear- ice of the animal when we saw it, that we believe, ad purchaser and seller a residence in the same dis- 'ict, that a criminal charge for obtaining money ider false pretences would be in order. The Lepman case is similar in principle. As will e apparent here is another illustration of where le distant purchaser could be at the caprice, or uis- mest indifference, of a dealer. In this matter the oard were apprised, by telegram, that letters cover- i g, or explaining the case, were on the way. How- ,rer, nothing documentary had materialized and the atter was laid over until the next meeting. In the Chute vs. Morris episode, Mr. Morris was ven further time in which to procure certain affi- iivits necessary to substantiate the statements in s published letter. , Charges were brought against E. F. Harris of ! ockton at the last meeting of the P. A. Committee. |T alleged utterances derogatory to the Stockton . ennel Club and is officers. On sifting the matter | r. Harris was exonerated and what at one time I'omised to become a disagreeable mess was rele- .ted to the waste basket. Mr. Harris" remarks and iticisms were apparently distorted, his explanation the matter upset hearsay evidence, and the inci- nt, happily, is now closed. The Stockton Kennel Club is to be congratulated on the success — in every respect — of the initial show, a three pointer at that. The attendance was good every day, the closing night being practically a swell society function. Generally speaking everything passed off in smooth and satisfactory fashion. A little friction arose; where has there been a Coast show when the makings of a ruction did not germinate? The casus belli was, however, not material in itself, but apparently magni- fied by irresponsible repetition. Common sense and good fellowship finally prevailed and the incident was buried. Awards.

A noticeable feature was the cordial support of the show by San Francisco fanciers who were generous in entries, many of them for exhibition only, a precedent that can be followed in the future to the mutual benefit of the circuit of show giving clubs. The absentees from the judging ring were more than usually noted at shows, but there wrere good reasons for this. John M.

Manager Phillips of the Crockett Kennels states that he has more orders for broken dogs than he can supply. He left for Arbuckle, Colusa county, this week, where he has some good quail country staked out in which he will work and give the finishing touches to a string of dogs Since the Crockett Ken- nels were started, a short time ago, business has been excellent and the outlook is good. Mr. Phillips is a painstaking and reliable trainer and proposes to turn out dogs that come under his care, in A No. 1 condition. Mr. Golobeck, his partner, is a well known sportsman, the owner of Ch. Cato Jr. and Cato's Judge. Both of these grand English Settlers are now in the stud. Englewood Kennels have recently been arranged., by the addition of more kennel room, for the care of some promising young Collies and Bull Terriers. Mr. Rogers, of Dundee, Mich., was on a visit to San Jose last wreek. Mr. Rogers, who is one of the oldest Collie fanciers in America, it is believed will locate in Denver, after his trip through this State. AT THE TRAPS. Welcome the coming and speed the parting fliers is in the mind's eye of the shotgun fraternity, for with to-morrow's dawn their will be a change from inani-. mate to animate targets, and so, vale the trap season of 1905, which has been a good one, and in relation thereto, more anon. The Los Angeles Gun Club two day tournament last week is reported by the southern scribes as follows: Keen of eye and steady of hand, smashing his birds into impalpable dust with the consistency character- istic of the thoroughly trained trap shot that all local saucer-splinters know him to be, Fred Mills, of Santa Ana, Saturday qualified for high average in the open- ing round of the Los Angeles Gun Club's nineteenth semi-annual tournament over the Sherman grounds with the magnificent average of even 92 per cent. Given a close race all day by "Bob" Bungay whose remarkable improvement has been the talk not only of local trigger knights, b_t, s nee the Interstate Associ- ation handicap at Ingleside, of g nners the Coat o/er as well, there was a pretty t issle for average honors, and it went a long way to relieve the disappointment caused by the small tournout that has been enter- tained in any semi-ann ial fixture for a long time. Lack of advertisement owing to the short time is re- sponsible, and hereafter the club w.ll see that its events are programmed a month ahead at least. With two very promising contests in the two-man team cup and Tufts-Lyon medal to feature the usual fifteen bird sweepstakes, three squads of local and visiting triggers-yankers hied themselves to Sherman early Saturday morning. Of the party were E. C. Wilson, who came down from Bakersfield; Harrv Hoyt, who packed up in a hurry and left San Fran- cisco at an hour's notice, and G. M Kanouse, late of Indianapolis, but* hereafter ha. ling from Los Angele^; Fred Mills, Clyde Walker and a few other outside shooters represent the advance guard of a consider- able country delegation which was expected the fol- lowing morning. Favored by a bright, but cool day, tempered with the balmiest of ocean breezes, it was a pity that fifty instead of fifteen were not on hand to help out the fun. Of average events, there were programmed 150 birds, and Fred Mills with 13S breaks, carr.ed off high honors, Bungay being only two birds behind. On the whole day he beat Mills out, but the medals and practice events did not count. High run went to Mills with a straight run of 61 consecutive breaks — the big Santa Ana rancher could not miss. No one else was within fifteen b.rds of do- ing as well, and it was doubtful if the run would be exceeded next day — and it was not. Interest as usual centered about the trophy events, and general applause greeted Bob Bungay's victory in the Tuft-Lyon trophy when he snuffed out 23 and 24 for a total of 47, taking the jewelry from Guy Love- lace who hda held it long enough. Charlie Julian of San Diego, who was in consistent form, proved a good second with 4G. Again Bungay ran in the money when with C. D Hagerman he cleaned up the two-man cup race with 24 each for a total of 48. Julian was as ever hot on the trail; he came through with 24, but his partner, Fred Gilbert, missed two birds and totalled the team at 47. On Sunday, R, H. Bungay went to the front again, for he succeeded in giving "the jostle" to Mills, who has, for many years, been considered the only real hot potato of the south with the shotg in. There was a question as to whether he would retain the cham- pionship or surrender it to Bungay, and Fred had two guesses. The guess was close, as it finally turned out, for Bungay won with one bird or one-third of I per cent. Eighteen men faced the traps Sunday and tried their best to better the rather poor scores of 89 2-3 and S9 1-3, made by Bungay and Mills, respectively. One of the features of the day was the live-man- team contest. The race was won by Harry Hoyt, Charlie Julien, Clyde Walker, Fred Mills and L Walker. The score was the best ever recorded for the trophy, 114 out of a possible 125 birds. Not one man of the five shot below 22 for his possible 25.

The shooters of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co.'s products, as usual, carried off the honors at the Biggs Gun Club Tournament, which was held at Biggs, Cal., on the 30th ultimo and 1st inst. F. M. Newbert, of Sacramento, was the king bee of the tournament, winning the high average, 92 per cent, the Du Pont Trophy, and also making the longest straight run of the tournament, which was 61 con sequit.ve breaks. Mr. Newbert always shoots a Win- chester "pump" gun and the shells the champion shoots, the Winchester "Leader." The Three Man Team Trophy was captured by the team composed of Messrs F. J.

The agricultural department of the University of California has made un- usual preparation to render this year'r short courses in various branches of agriculture attractive and helpful to many classes of producers. These short courses are open without exam- ination to men and women of all ages, who desire to spend a few weeks in an earnest effort to gain some knowledge of agricultural science and improved practice — particular emphasis being laid, of course, upon the practical side. There is no charge for instruction, the pupil merely providing for his own traveling expenses and board while in Berkeley, except in the dairy course, in which a small fee is required to cover cost of material used. This year's 3hort courses will have a new feature in the fact that they are conducted in co-operation with various state organ- izations of agriculturists who are represented in both the lecture work and discussions. The subjects in which instruction will be given are the fol- lowing: ! (1) Fruit Growing, including injuri- ous insects and plant diseases; Octo- ber ISth to October 31st. ] (2) General Agriculture and the Animal Industry, including Dairying, October 25th to November 21st. (3) Irrigation and the Reclamation Service, October 25th to October 31st. (4) Nutrition of both men and do- mestice animals, including poultry, November 16th to November 21st. { (5) Special work in Entomology, November 2nd to November 2Sth. 1 (6) Special course in Viticulture, January Ifith to February 14th. The pupil is permitted to concentrate his work upon special lines or to select widely, if he desires to secure a general view of California agriculture. An il- lustrated pamphlet giving detailed in- formation about these courses can be had by application to E J. Wickson, Dean of the College of Agriculture, Berkeley, California. THE ENGLISH FARMER. | When the American farmer is in - Ijclined to feel "gravely" over the condi- tions of his life, he will find some con- solation in the thought that farmers in I other countries are worse off than he is. In England, for instance, farmers ■ are compelled to take out more licenses to conduct their business than any other class of business men. Some idea of the enormous tax on English farm- ill ing can be had from the following : letter written by an English farmer to this brother in Michigan. He says: "First of all, in January, I had to write to the excise offices for a form of exemption to keep my old sheep dog. The form came back in about a fort- night. Then I had to fill it up and return it before I got the license to keep it free of duty. Then I had to visit the postoffice to get another li- |f cense, which cost me $1.85; it is to • keep a spaniel, so that I could hunt the rabbits from the hedgerows. "Then I had to pay §2.50 for a gun license in order to shoot the rabbits, I have again to go to the postoffico to get a $3.76 trap license A couplp of months ago I injured my leg, and 1 Warranted! to Give Satisfaction.

A letter from the local officer of ex- cise pointed out to me the fact that a license of $5 had to be taken out. "Cider running short, I had to pro- vide something for my farm hands to drink, so I thought that I would obtain a couple of sacks of barley malt, the barley being grown in England, and brew a few gallons of ale. To do this I had to take out another license. "I have a traction engine, with which I do my farm work, such as threshing, etc., and between whiles a bit of haul- ing. This necessitates my taking out the most expensive license of all, one for $50. On the farm there are usually a few partridges and a stray pheasant or two, reared and fed at my expense. To shoot these I have to obtain a game license, which costs me $15. "Now, I sell a few gallons of milk, and to do this I have to get my prem- ises registered by the local medical of- ficer of health. This is practically an- other license. Flowing right through my farm is a splendid trout stream, yet before I can attempt to entice one of the spotted beauties from beneath its surface, I have to take out another li- cense. "If I send my sow to a neighbor I have to go to the policeman for a li- cense for her, which he issues on con- dition that she does not remain away more than four days. You may smile, but it's an official fact. If I sell my neighbor a few pigs I have to obtain a license to remove them. If I send a lot of fat baconers to town to be killed, another visit to the policeman is necessary. If I decide to have them killed at home, I must have my farm building licensed as a slaughterhouse. "If I have only to turn my pig across BEST SHAPE FOR SILOS. Round silos usually are preferred be- cause they contain more per square foot of wall surface and silage settles evenly and is better preserved when there are no corners to hold air and mould. Silage in a round silo thirty- two feet deep, if finely cut and well settled, will weigh about 40 pounds per cubic foot. A feed for a cow is from 12 to 20 pounds once or twice a day according to the supply, so it is easy to figure the size of silo necessary for any number of cows. Horses should have only one feed a day of silage, and usually from six to ten pounds is sufficient although some horses will make good use of much more. Sheep do well on silage and are very fond of it, but it should be given them spar- ingly in one feed per day, preferably at noon time. Silage is also relished by hogs and chickens, so there is not much danger of getting too much silage on the farm. Large silos, however, are not advis- able ; it is better to have two silos twelve feet in diameter than one silo twenty feet in diameter. A silo should be at least thirty feet deep in order to get the necessary pressure. ALASKA DAIRYING. C. V. Piper of the Alaska Experiment Station, in his report, in the annual report of the office of experiment sta- tions, sets forth the possibilities of dairying in Alaska as follows: Milk cows, of various breeds have long been kept at most of the coast settlements, and the common testimony is that they do exceedingly well while feeding on the green grasses. Prof. Georgeson's tests have demonstrated The Udder Side of the Milk Question the road to clover, again I have to visit that policeman. As all these li- censee have been necessary for my business, and not one of them is for luxury, such as male servants or ar- morial bearings, I really think that the farmer can justly claim that his business is the most licensed in the kingdom." — Southern Tobacconist. If your blacksmith knows his busi- ness your horses will be properly shod, but do not lay the foot troubles of the horse to the door of the blacksmith, for the chances are you are at the bot- tom of the trouble because you will not keep the floor of the stables clean and thus avoid thrush. There is no reason why there should not be a gutter behind the horses, such as are behind the cows, and thus avoid to some extent the possibility of the horse standing in his excrement. Then, keep close watch of the hoofs and see that they are cleansed daily. An ex- cellent way to do this is to have a few blunt sticks of hickory, a stiff brush or two and one or more coarse sponges. Go at it in this way: With the sticks dig out substances and then cleanse with the stiff brush and finally wash with the sponge, using tepid. water, in which a dozen drops or a teaspoonful of carbolic acid has been mixed. Try it, keep it up and avoid thrush. Idaho has passed a law that all but- ter sold, or offered for sale within the State, shall have the name of the man- ufacturer and the place of manufac- turer stamped upon the label. The pack must also have the exact num- ber of pounds stamped on the wrapper. Some horses cannot do good work, because their collars do not fit; and because the harness is not adjusted properly. that they kept up an excellent milk flow on bench grass silage, and doubt- less the other grasses are quite as nutritious. For two reasons I am impelled to believe that the utilization of the Alaska grass lands will yield most profit through dairying: (1) Because of the necessaritly long feeding period — five to six months — during which only dairy cows yield a compensating return, and (2) the freight to distant markets on concentrated products like butter or cheese is not a serious factor. There are many admirable sites for dairy colonies or settlements, not only on Kadiak Island, but also other islands and on the mainland. Dairying is to be one of the chief industries in the proposed Finnish Colony on the Kenai Peninsula. With such enormous wealth of grass as southwestern Alaska possesses it is difficult to doubt that it will become a great dairy country. It is doubtful, if equally good opportun- ities for colonies of dairy husbandmen can be found in the United States to- day. Certainly there is no place left where 320-acre homesteads of magnifi- cent grass lands can be had for* the taking. Dry-picking is always to be pre- ferred when preparing turkeys for market. When in fine condition, nicely picked, and sent to market without having been packed in ice, a turkey is at its best, and consequently commands the highest price. As soon as the fowl is stuck and the blood is still flowing, pluck the feathers dry from Its body, taking care in doing this not to break the skin or tear the flesh Nothing de- tracts so much from dressed ooultry as torn places upon the carcas or shank; picking must be clean ami nicely done. When the fowl is plucked hang it head down in a cool place until all animal heat is gone from the body, being careful not to hang it where it will be exposed to cold air as to be likely to freeze. Do not remove the head, feet, or entrails, but have the whole carcass, including head and feet. perfectly clean. The Wood Live Stock Compnay, which operates mainly at Spencer, Idaho, is aiming to keep a flock of 100.000 breeding ewes. All the in- crease is sold as four or six-months lambs, no ewe lambs being saved for future breeders. They sell off each year all the toothless ewes, all the non- breeders and do not even keep those that have failed to breed for one sea- son. The breeding flock is kept up by the purchase of strong heavy fleeced ewes, preference being given to Oregon stock that shear ten to twelve pounds. The rams used are of the best mutton breeds, thus keeping up both sides of the business — the ewe flock producing wool enough to pay the expenses while the SO to 90 per cent lamb crop makes the profits. At the Iowa station it was found that turnips injure the flavor of both milk and butter. This injury is due to volatile acids which can be driven off by heating the milk to 160 degrees for a short time. Beets increased the milk and butter product and caused all the cows, even Jerseys, to lay on fat quite rapidly. When the roots were discon- tinued butter fat decreased and the cows ceased to gain weight, and it took more pounds of feed (calculated to dry matter) to produce a pound of butter. When turned on pasture there was im- mediate increase of milk, butter and live weight. Feeding bran during part of the grazing period produced suffi- cient gain to yield a small profit. Sponges. S.

Sometimes it seems as if poor or iged food may be given fowls and without injury if it is skillfully mixed with the better quality, although there is a ri^k in this sort of feedng. The horse, on the other hand, does nor to he able to take his share of and the feeding of it : esults in a bad stomach or I trouble. These organs of the horse are much more sensitive and tte than is generally supposed and should therefore be used in tng. Poor hay is another bad thing for horses and it is also poor policy to attempt to carry a horse very far on hay, whether good or poor, and water, feeding small quantities of grain. Be- i all doubt oats are the best of any grain for horses, but it is quite as good policy to furnish variety to the horses as to the other stock on the farm, but making sure that the animal has one feed daily of first class oats, and that oats form one of the grains in one of the mixtures of the day. Let all of the food be first class, including the hay, and the horses will thrive on it and really eat less than of the poor food. HORSE STEAKS IN GERMANY. Consul-General Mason at Berlin, Ger- many, sends a report that horse steaks are a common article of food in Ger- many, and that horse meat consump- tion is on the increase. In southern Germany, and notably in Saxony, where the percentage of working peo- ple in factories is large, the consump- tion of horse flesh is an important item and is rapidly increasing. About 3,S00 horses were killed in Breslau alone last year, for human food. In Berlin, the choicest cuts of horse meat sell at eight and ten cents a pound. Heat from the poor quar- ters or meat from any part of poor, old or inferior horses brings three and four cents. The liver is considered a delicate morsel and brings 10 cents a pound. , The inferior pieces are ground into the strongly spiced and garlicky sau- sages that are the favorite food of many German servants and working people. These sausages must be plain- ly labeled "horse flesh." Outside the city this regulation isn't in force, so that large quantities of horse sausage are sold in the country districts or are exported to neighboring countries as ordinary pork sausage. DAIRY QUALITY INHERENT. The early Shorthorn and Teeswater cattle possessed much dairy excellence and when first brought to America Shorthorns earned the name of the milk breed. Among old records are those of cows giving six, eight, and even nine gallons of milk a day on grass alone. Although now latent in most lines, a dairy quality seems in- herent in the breed which some careful managers are able successfully to de- velop and propagate. Records of sev- eral dairy herds in the United States within a quarter of a century show a milking season of about 275 days and an average product of 6,500 pounds of milk. One herd of ten cows, from three to twelve years old, gave 7,750 is each in a year. Single cows have averaged much more, several in- es being known of 10.000 to 12,000 Is in a season. The Shorthorn milk is of good quality, rather above the average. The fat globules are of um and fairly uniform size so that m separates easily, it is rather • lor. In 1824 a cow near Philadelphia made over twenty pounds "i butter in a week without special feeding. Herds of forty cows have ujed 209 pounds of butter a year, The herd of ten cows mentioned aver- ds, and single cows have records of 400 pounds and over, one ■ ounds. i< i hal thi Shetland puny ipular pet among all the rials, a dog maa d somi foi l boy; i r a bird may "Mi; but more genuine pli as- ure ni;i\ be had rmin ;■ pony for bol h boys and girls, thai m mythtng with which children can play, whether i Its or ■ ountry.

Boston, Mass , Jan. 21. Dear Sirs: —I have used a bottle of "Save-tbe- Horse,1' and I consider it the best thing that as yet I have been able to obtain for what it was Intended, it having entirely cored a very valuable mare which has been lame since last September with a sprained ankle. We had her blistered twice and laid up for two months, but it did no good. I was just aboutready to breed her when I gave it a tr'al; she is now entirely sound. Yours respectfully. ALBERT E. BAKER. WERE THESE TWO CASES WORTH THE COST OF TREATMENT? Brooklyn, N. Y. One of my horses went lame from side or shell bones on both feet, which extended entirely around the quarter, and was laid up for about three months I used two bottles of "Save-the- Horse," and the horse is perfectly sound. I have driven her over paved roads, and one day gave her a sixty-mile drive and she never showed the least particle of lameness. The growths have nearly all disappeared. I have owned horses for years, u^ed them to build railroads and in all binds of contract work, and have used remedies, blisters firing and electricity, but never saw anything take hold and produce such results as "Save-the-Horse" in this case. D. C BENNETT, Builder, 416 79thst. Nrack.N. Y. In August I had a mare with an ankle cocked from a bad wrench in a race. It was so bad I had concluded to shoot her, but was persuaded to breed her and turn her out. I bred her, but in- stead of turning her out used your "Save-the- Horse." In three weeks I was more than sur- prised to see the swelling disappear, and the remedy produced a complete cure She is as good as ever. I have raced her since and drive her any distance without any sign of lameness. I cannot say too much for vour remedy. GEO F.

One of the most successful race meetings ever held at the Ukiah half mile track opened on October 3d and continued during the balance of the week. The pro- gram was almost entirely devoted to running races, but three harness events being on the card. Two of these were at half mile heats. The attendance was excellent throughout the meeting and the harness races proved so popular that the association hopes to give a regular harness meeting in another year in con- nection with a county fair. The summaries of the three harness events follow: Trot or pace, half mile heats, three in five.

Daily washing with the above solution to remove pus from the lower parts of the cavity. It would be well to have a veterinary surgeon operate, as the location is so near the spinal cord that it may be dangerous for one who is not an expert to operate. o Hazel Patch 2.02% by Hard Patch, dam Nell by Andy, was sold last week by his owner, J. W. Flack of Milwaukee, to Judson Sherman of Chicago. The price is said to be over $5000. Hazel Patch is one of the best pacing campaigners out this year. He took his record of 2:02% in the first heat of the 2:D4 class pace at Lexington. Many horsemen are of t lie opin- ion that Hazel might have won the 2:04 pace had he been more carefully handled. He will be placed in the stud and used for matinee racing. W. J. Kenney, 531 Valencia street, received four McMurray carts this week direct from the factory.

He has three-year-olds, two-year-olds, yearlings, weanlings, and mares in foal. He says he is a little too old to drive three-year-olds and conse- quently must sell. We advise any man who wants a good young prospect to make a date with Hans Frellson, whose stables are on 24th avenue near the Casino, and take a ride behind this three-year-old. He is worth buying and developing for a race horse. WINNERS AT PORTLAND. A novel scheme has been devised by the horsemen and business men of Hollister to purchase from the bank which owns the property, the Hollister fair grounds and race track. The proposition is to have one hundred residents of San Benito county agree to buy the properly at a price that is already agreed upon, and pay one dollar per week on each share subscribed until the property is paid for. It will take a little over a year to pay for the property at this rate. Up to Tuesday of this week So of the 100 sub- scribers had been obtained and the full quota will have signed up before the end of next week. There are fifty-four acres in the track, well improved with a grandstand and stalls, and an excellent mile track. The land is worth every dollar of the price asked for it, without taking into consideration the improve- ments. Don't ever imagine that Prompter blood is not of the race horse kind. It has been in front very often in hard fought races where the time is fast. One of the fastest pacers out this year is Gratt 2.05%, a son of Grattan 2:13 out of Molly Hicks by Prompter, sec- ond dam Lady Bishop by Iowa Chief. Gratt has been a good winner this year and it is said is in good shape to pace to a faster mark next season. John Caldwell 2:09 trotted a splendid race in the Transylvania. While he won but fourth money he was a bang-up third to Ethel's Pride and Turley in the fastest heat of the race, which was trotted in 2:06%. In this heat Ethel's Pride, the winner was but a neck in front of Turley and John Caldwell's nose was at *Turley*s hips. It was a great finish and brought the immense crowd in the grand stand to its feet. John Caldwell was just getting good as the circuit ended. o SONOMA COUNTY DRIVING CLUB. SOME BROOD MARES are born great and others achieve greatness, while very few have greatness thrust upon them, because in the horse business thrusting greatness is a pretty hard as well as a very expensive job. Up at the pretty little town of Rosa on Thursday of last week, two trotting own sisters, took standard records and made a great brood mare of their dam that at the time was complacently munching grass in the pasture of. her owner, Mr. S B. Wright, two or three miles distant, all unconscious of the fact that she had achieved a place in the Great Table by the performances of her two handsome daughters The mare referred to is the trotting mare Maud Fowler, whose record of was made at Petaluma twelve years ago, in the fifth heat of a hard fought race wherein she beat Patty P. and Logan. Maud Fowler was bred by the late Isaac de Turk of Santa Rosa. Her sire was Anteeo 2:lr^4, one of Electioneer" s best sons, and her dam that great brood mare Eveline by Nutwood 600, greatest of brood mare sires. So Maud Fowler was born great, as it were, and is now achieving greatness in the stud. At the Breeders' meeting at Santa Rosa in August this year Maud Fowler's five-year-old son Dumont S. 36,675, owned by Thos. Charlton of Ukiah, trotted to a record of 2:20, and became the first stand- ard performer for his dam. On Thursday of last week at the meeting of the Sonoma County Driving Club, the two mares. Sonoma Queen and Sonoma Maid, own sisters to Dumont S., took trotting records of 2:26 and 2:29% respectively, making Maud Fowler the dam of three standard trotters, all by the same horse — Lynwood W. 2:20, son of Guy Wilkes. Another mem- ber of this notable family of full brothers and sisters is the famous green mare Sonoma Girl, owned by Mr. J D. Springer, formerly of Pleasant on. but now of Los Angeles. As all our readers know Sonoma Girl is a phenomenal trotter and but for a lameness which afflicted her last winter and from which she has never fully recovered, would doubtless now have a record below 2:10 as she showed herself capable of a mile at that speed ,and could trot a quarter in 30 seconds as easily as any trotter ever worked at Pleasanton. Frank Turner of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm owns a The reP°rt of the seTOna meeting of the Sonoma son of Maud Fowler in Major Dillon.

ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENTS. FRANK M. PLYMALL, Medford, Ore.— A thorough bred horse is a running bred horse that is eligible t< I1 registration under the rules governing the registra- tion of thoroughbreds. A standard bred horse can bf either a trotter or a pacer, but must be eligible t< registration under the rules of the American Trotting Register Association.

OCTOBER 21, 1905] ffiitc gSr^eDcv uuO gtypvi&mati J OTHER PEOPLE'S 0PIN10N.S II . Volunteer in Horse Review: It was my good for- vjne to witness Dan's two marvelous miles at Lex- jgton last week — the one in 1:56 on Thursday, and tie one in 1:55% on Saturday. The first was a glori- flis failure. The second was a glorious success. Stop and think what it is to ask a horse to beat .".6. It is piling Ossa on Pelion and asking that Bey both be l.fted at once — a task to overpower a Jan. To presume success in such a stupendous un- irtaking demands not only a Dan Patch, to begin Ith, it also demands that every attendant circum- *ince be the most absolutely favorable. On last ■"vursday everything was so, but one — and that little '^ift within the lute" cost Dan the record the and lere. ■A more perfect day could not be conceived. The ttober air was like wine flooded with sunshine. ;|iere was so little wind that "Old Glory" hung limp ion the flagstaff in the infield, with scarce a quiver ■i its folds. The track wras as fast as tracks ever le. The horse was ready and equal to what was fcuired of him — and missed it merely because of a fcstake; a mistake for which no one was really re- ¥:) risible. fit was arranged that there should be three pace- ■fcikers. Charley Dean was to drive the important ■we in front; "Doc" Tanner the one at the side; and *n Nash a third, which was to fall in just behind t'ough the home stretch. Tanner was to rate the jce. While he has had much experience in doing Is, he had never attempted it over the Lexington t? ck before, and the angles at which the quarter and fclf-rmle poles are set there deceived him. He judged 1 ;in as he had been in the habit of doing when timing t m the stand, and this proved to be an error. In ts manner he got a quarter in 2S% second and the llf in 57%, which was almost exactly where he 1 i expected to go; but really they were made in «4 and 5S% seconds, respectively. Dan came home I 57% seconds from the half, but even that could ■w: enable him to more than tie the mark. Another tidicap was due to the fact that the front runner Sked on Dean in the first eighth, and Dan almost j;ed over him. m\. canvas strip was fastened beneath the seat of t> cart in front This was hung too low, and instead c fulfilling its office of dirt-screen properly, it raised ji?loud of dust that was blinding. When the three -icses struck the lower turn, all that was visible was p momentary glint of Hersey's white satin jacket. wrsey himself said afterward that at one time he lild hardly see the horse that he was driving. In civersation with Tanner he expressed wonder to him fl.v Dan Patch could race through the dust without oking up. "There is no other horse in the world B.t could or would," he said. Tanner advised that ;< iui six inches be cut off from the bottom of the civas before the second attempt. This was done. II was a visible improvement. I n his mile in 1:56% at Memphis two years ago, nl in his mile in 1:56 there last year, Dan's front I- emaker was driven by Scott Hudson, who is con- ■2red without an equal in this work. No one eiected him to show up in Lexington, but he drifted ■the back end of the week and was secured to per- f m his old office for the Saturday mile, doing it with B accustomed success. I also saw the 1:56% mile a Memphis in 1903. On that occasion there were 8 rce more than two feet between Dan Patch's head a 1 Hudson's back at any spot of the mile. Last S-.urday, while Dan went away and finished in this u nner, there were times, through the middle half, ven he was nearly an open length back. This was e ecially true of the second quarter, up the back s etch, which was the fastest of the mile — 2S seconds fl. : t "goes without saying" that for a horse to pace 111: 55% he must be in faultless physical condition ft I perfectly trained. I first saw Dan this season a the Chicago half-mile track, which he paced in 2iy2 on September 30. I then wrote that never in h life had he looked so well, and that after the mile h scarce took a long breath. I heard it remarked r eatedly at Lexington, by the most critical horse- Tin, "Dan Patch looks better to me than ever be- f- ±" — and this before he had started. After his 1 5% mile I was one of the crowd that swarmed *> upon the stretch when Hersey drove back to v gh out. Hundreds of men and boys mobbed the li se in their efforts to touch him, or even his blan- k or sulky. I worked my way to Dan's side with d culty and also laid my hand upon him, but it was fl a different purpose. I wished to discover whether I tremendous effort had exhausted him. I found h i with his nostrils no more distended than after a:lO workout mile; there was no convulsive heaving 0 his flanks, he lifted his head in the air, and his fi was bright as a star. ^hen it is known and considered that Dan made a eason to fifty mares last spring in Minnesota, his v ility and constitutional vigor appears perhaps even n -e marvelous than his speed. And the skill with W ch he has been prepared speaks eloquently of the ajiit/ of Harry Hersey as a trainer. This reminds rJ of a remark I heard passed by a veteran Do you remember," said he, "how like a demon i\ Henry drove Dan at Memphis when he went in 1 5% year before last? He made one of those cy- le finishes that he used to when he was dragging f a heat with old Phoebe Wilkes by an eyelash. v did you notice Hersey? He didn't make any fuss all. You could see he was driving Dan; but he almost as still as Geer drives." I thought that a y nice compliment. Palmer Clark: Sitting in the grand stand at Lex- ington during the meeting now in progress I counted horesmen from no less than thirty-one states and Canada, and the question came to me. Why is it that the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Association succeeds year after year in drawing such great crowds from all over the country to witness its races? And the answer came to me simultaneously as the query arose in my mind. The stranger who pays the first visit to this great carnival of harness horse racing is struck first of all with the -tasty appearance of the approaches to the grounds, the broad macadamized roadways, with spreading lawns, bedecked _ with flowers and shade trees; the well arranged barns and appointments, in- cluding the bright whitewashed fences, all with that symmetry and adaptability that pleases the eye and rests the mind. The well arranged transportation system lands you right at the gate and you enter the grounds to note first of all that Secretary Horace Wilson's elaborate system of organization is working like clockwork from the uniformed harrow driver on the track to the affable president of the association, who is busy receiving and entertaining the distin- guished guests, of which there are many. There are many well managed tracks, but the man- ager of any* racing association in the country would certainly learn something to his advantage in study- ing Secretary Wilson's careful attention to even the smallest details. As astute a manager as Andy Welch -remarked. "Every bit of bunting, to the magnificent flag that floated from the pole in the center field, was correctly hung and scrupulously clean." Six teams in constant use kept the track in pei-fect order, and a half mile track in the center field ap- proached by a subway under the mile track being used for jogging, leaves the main track clear for the use of racers only. Breeders' Gazette. It rarely happens in horse show affairs that any one man is of sufficient importance to make his presence an absolute necessity to the giving of a horse show, but it seems that such is the case with E. H Harriman with the Goshen show. Several years ago Mr. Harriman began to take an interest in horse affairs at Goshen and surrounding country and through his enterprise the old half-mile track at Goshen was greatly improved. New build- ings were constructed and the famous racing plant of fifty years ago was remantled with a more artistic finish' than it had ever before known. Race meetings were held and it was understood that if there was not sufficient receipts to pay the purses and expenses that the check of Mr. Harriman was drawn to cover the deficiency. It was Mr. Harriman also who inau- gurated the horse shows at Goshen, and here again the same generous policy of meeting deficiencies with his individual check was a part of the programme and these shows came to be recognized as among the best of the smaller Eastern exhibitions. The Harri- man family is made up of horse show enthusiasts and the entries from Mr. Harriman's Arden Farms far outnumbered those of any other exhibitor. Some two months ago Mr. Harriman and his family sailed for the Orient and are now in Japan. The officials of the Goshen show do not seem to have the courage to give an exhibition without the presence of Mr Har- riman and his check book, and for the first time since these shows were established the one this year has been abandoned and it is probable also that the ab- sence of the Harriman-faTTrrly has caused the Tuxedo association to forego the pleasure of an entertainment of this character the present season. PONY RACING AT SAN MATEO. The first day's meeting of the fall programme of the California Polo and Pony Racing Association at Charlie Clarke's track at San Mateo last Saturday brought out some keen racing. The races this fall took on more of a social function than ever before in the history of the Association. Most of the summer residents of Burlingame came over for the sport. The pavilion presented a most pleasing picture of color, the girls and matrons hav- ing attended in costumes that reminded one more of a garden party. Those in the pavilion were keen on the sport and the interest displayed in the different events as they came up did a great deal toward keying the gentle- men riders to extra efforts. Charlie Dunphy carried off the honors of the day, being in the money more than any of the others. Frank Skinner, who is considered the premier at the game, drew a lot of poor mounts and did not have a chance to do himself justice. Slow time was made in all the events except the last, which was a full round of the three-quarter track. Bas Blancs cut out the pace and it looked as if the bay mare would take the event as on the last turn she was about five lengths ahead of Ethel G. ana about ten lengths ahead of Carlolly. As they straightened out for home Bas Blancs blew up, stopping badly, while Ethel G. and Carlolly came on strong. Dunphy on Ethel G. saw that Bas Blancs was quitting and commenced to urge his mount. After heading Bas Blancs he let up on Ethel G. and was holding the daughter of Bliss Rucker nicely when he chanced to look back on the other side and found Skinner on Carlolly coming up like a whirl- wind. Ho had to pick his mount up and let ■ her down again for the final rush. It was a close call, for he had to break the Association record for the distance of 1:214-5 by 7-10 of a second to keep Ethel G. in front of Carlolly at the wire. Another 1-16 and it would have been brackets for Carlolly. The main interest of the day was the fourth race at a half mile. It was programmed for a three horse race,- but. Ethel G. was scratched and it left only Ulctma and Midlove to fight it out. , Midlove's work last spring brought many supporters to the copper colored jacket, but the youth of Ulctma was not overlooked and fully as many got down on the Salvador-Lighting mare. It was noised around just before they left the paddock that Mlidlove had only been lightly "preped" and there was a rush to cover. This swung the results around in the betting so that $5 only brought home $2.35. Up to the fourth race Skinner had only secured a second, while Dunphy had captured two firsts and a second. Skinner felt that his reputation was at stake and it was easily seen when he went to the post that he meant to win. Dunphy, flushed by victory, was equally determined to carry off the honors. As Ulctma and Midlove left the paddock they com- menced to dance to the post. In fact at times fears were entertained that one or the other might hurt itself backing up the bank. On the second break the flag was dropped. Dunphy was right on edge and got away with half a length the best of it. Skinner had his mount moving, how- ever, and kept up to Midlove's saddle. Around the lower turn they came in the same posi- tion and as they passed the quarter it was seen that they had covered the distance in 24 4-5 seconds, fast time for the weights. Something had to give way at this pace. As they straightened out Skinner was seen to let Ulctma down for a final effort. The Salvador- Lightning lady answered the call and shoved her nose to the front. Dunphy had been riding carefully and when Ulctma commenced to take control of the situation he made a last call on the daughter of Midlothian for a final struggle. For a second she answered. the spurs and was neck and neck with Ulctma, but it was only for a second as Ulctma had the speed and held steady while Midlove slackened. Both mounts were satisfied when they passed the wire and it did not take much of an effort to bring them back to the stand. The talent was dumped in the first race. Mr. Spreck- els' gray pony Boastful and Charlie Clark's Chanate were the favorites. It was a six-horse race and of the lot J. A. Lynch's Leah, on looks, was a rank outsider. Few, however, knew that the Elkins-Lizzie mare had been spending the summer racing in the "bushes" and in the final pinch she outgamed W. E. Pedley's Carlotta. Dunphy on the winner got the best of the break, taking the rail. Boastful acted green getting away as slow as an ice wagon. Walter on McKittrick's War- wick spoiled the chances of his mount by giving a splendid exhibition of how you should not break at the drop of the flag. J. O. Tobin on Carlotta put up a smashing finish. He beat Mackay out for the place by the cleverest kind of horsemanship. The second race of three-eighths of a mile was a cracking battle between Bas Blancs and Althomer. At the drop of the flag Skinner took Althomer out in front along the rail. Bas Blancs was second and Ethel G. third. Coming down the stretch Dunphy placed Bas Blancs nicely in front by half a length and won the event by that distance under wraps. The third race was another victory for J. A. Lynch's Leah in easy fashion. Charlie Clark's Alvernie was second and Boastful last, a poor third. Quarter mile. J. A. Lynch's b. m. Leah (C.

The attendance at his exhibitions has been 255.000: he broke three world records, and earned $21,000 in twenty-six days in September. There is always a time to sell a horse. Last week at the Lexington autumn sales, Pilatus, by Onward, was sold for $1,800. A few years ago $10,000 was refused for him. Major McKinley 2:05% races without hopples, boots or anything but a harness and is said to be the fastest pacer that does so. On the same day that Nancy Hanks' son Admir.it Dewey took a trotting record of 2:04% at Lexington, another son of hers, Lord Roberts, won a race at Readville and took a trotting record of 2:12%. The Rural Spirit says: C. X. Larrabee. of Brook- Xook Ranche. Montana, made the largest exhibit of standard bred horses and won every first prize com- peted for at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. His horses were principally drivers, and were greatly ad- mired by the throngs of people who watched the judging. It will be seen by the summaries that Mr Larrabee's winnings brings great credit to his efforts as a breeder of light harness horses, and stamps Brook-Xook Ranche a producer of high class horses. Xot only did Mr. Larrabee's entries win, but many of the horses he sold here last spring were prize win- ners entered by other people. It would be hard for any one breeder to met with greater success in the ring than did Mr. Larrabee at this show." J. B. Stetson has shipped a string of horses from Portland, Oregon, to Los Angeles. He will enter three of them in the Southern California Circuit, one in the 2:12 pace, one in the 2:24 pace and one in the 2:24 trot. In the free-for-all pace at the Hanford fair Daeda- lion broke the track record by pacing the second heat in 2:12. This is good time for a half mile track. In this race Jonesa Basler finished in front in the last heat, but was disqualified for a foul. The decision of the judges was protested and the money is tied up. The two-year-old pacing filly at Indianapolis whose owners offer to match her against anything of her age, has paced a mile in 2:11%. with the last half in 1:04%, and is said to be faultlessly gaited. She was sired by the pacing champion Dan Patch 1:56. out of Wyna G. 2:19*4. by Coleridge 2:05*4. "Raymond" says: 'It is reported that suit has been brought at Lexington. Ky., by Isaac Eckert. ol Reading, Pa., against Gus Macey, to recover damages for alleged miserepresentations made at the t'.me of the sale of Country Jay 2:10%. to Eckert by Macey, last spring. John I. Allen, a member of the Ken- tucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Association and a well known lawyer, is acting for Mr. Eckert. It is alleged that evidence can be adduced to prove that Country Jay. though sold as sound, was lame all last season, but was cocained in his work and exhibition miles. The price paid for Country Jay last spring by Mr. Eckert was reported to be a very large one. and when the horse went lame soon after the sale, horsemen generally were suspicious that he had never really gotten over the lameness that kept him off tii track for two or three years." Sadie Mac won $12,700, and Angiola and Bon Voyage are the only other trotters that won $10,000 or more in the Grand Circuit i October 21, 190 "How some of these trainers take horses to fee care for and train for $20 a month is hard to unde stand," said a San Francisco horseman the other da "It costs more than that amount to feed and care f a horse properly, and I can't see how these $20 month trainers l.ve. Perhaps they are like the o Hebrew who was asked to put in a bid for keepii a horse by the month. His bid was eight dollars a* the owner of the horse, who wanted the very lowe price he could get. asked what reduction the Hebre would make if he was permitted to sell all til manure.

I The beautiful mare Delight won three premiums at the Kentucky State Fair, including a sweepstakes for the best mare, gelding or stallion, and also the best four-year-old and over to harness. Delight is by Allerton 2:09*4, and is not only an exceedingly handsome mare, but has trotted miles in 2:10 and belter in her work, while doing quarters and halves at a much higher rate of speed. She is a mare of great style and finish. There should be more Allerton blood in California. We are short on this great strain. This is how the Western Horseman very pertinently and properly puts a case: "Salina, Kansas, thought it was possible to hold a fair and race meeting with- out letting the outside world know anything about it. The meeting came off, all right, with twelve harness horses on the ground, one-third of that number local animals. The first day it is asserted that all of seven persons occupied the grand stand. There is no use paying for advertising space when such a meeting ran be held without the use of printer's ink." The first annual fair of Arizona will be held i Phoenix, December 4th to 9th, this year. A lettt received from Mr. W. X. Tiffany. Superintendent j Speed, says: "We appreciate that we must depend on Californi to furnish us the bulk of our entries, and we w to do everything we can to show horsemen there thi it will be to their interests to come over and atten our meeting. I cannot see why practically every hor; that is in racing condition at the close of the Souti ern California circuit should not come to our meets There will be no place else for them to go except inl winter quarters, and the program we are offerir. should convince them they cannot afford to sta away. I have carefully arranged the program so th; a horse eligible to any class slower than the fret for-alls can get at least two starts during the we€ with one or more days between. The railroads ha-v agreed to make us cheap freight rates from Los Ar geles, and to bring the horses through on passengt schedule, if we can get enough horses to warrant i This would mean it would cost but a trifle to mal- the trip (probably something like $20 per horse fi the round trip), and the ship would not consume ov< about eighteen hours. "Everything is getting into fine shape at oi grounds. Our tracks are already far better than tr average, notwithstanding the fact that it is bare) two weeks since we finished grading. There are aboi fifty horses now at the track, and every trainer \wb has been on the track says they will be as fast s any in the country before our meeting opens. M George Klotzbach. who recently arrived from Xe York with Mr. W. C. Greene's string of speelwa and matinee horses, says our mile track is now- a fast and as good as he ever saw the Empire Cii track this summer: and he agrees that in less tha thirty days more it will be the equal, if not tb superior, of any other track in the entire eountr; Mr. Klotzbach's string includes Boralma's Brothe Florence Wilton. Paul D. Kelley (1) 2:20, Billing the great three-year-old who paced our track las week in 2:11% and will be specially prepared an started at our meeting to beat the world's three-yeai old record of 2:05% now held by Klatawah; Cobr Grande, the Arizona pacer who cleaned up about a the pacers on the New York Speedway this summe and several others, eight head in all. "Mr. J. K. Wheat also returned from Libertyvill' 111., last week with the horses of Mr. J. C. Adams tha have been racing so well through the Eastern State this summer, including Sally Pointer 2:11, Bystande 2.13% (by Zolock). Billy A. 2:14*4. and Custer, th good four-year-old son of Sidney Dillon, that mad sueh a good showing in some of the big stakes t» ' the Great Western circuit. Mr. Adams has also nov got at the track several very promising yearlings an two-year-olds by McKinney, Mendocino, L. W. Rus*' sell. Oh So, and Boydello, that are being prepare1' for our colt stakes." Attention is called to the advertisement of this fal in this issue, and we hope as many California horse men as can possibly afford it will enter their horse at this meeting. OCTOBfiR 21, 19C5, ©lie gvcctJcv aim gyovisumn LEXINGTON RACES. After two days of rain, racing was begun again at the Lexington track on Thursday of last week. A large crowd was present and the greatest number of harness races ever decided in one day on the Lexing- ton track were finished. Seven events were on the program and three of them were stakes. The feature of the card was the McDowell- stake, with a value of 53000, followed by the Lexington, a practical renewal of two-year-old futurity, and the West for 2:29 trotters. The former event was won by Angiola, who won three out of four heats. The two-year-old stake was captured by Siliko, driven by Charles Marvin, the old Palo Alto driver, while the I West was won in straight heats by the New York gelding, Albert C, with the California horse, Danube, second.

The Central California Fair, which was held at Hanford, Kings county, during the week of October 9th to 14th, was marked by a big attendance. It was the most successful fair ever given by the Kings County Agricultural Association, and the attendance — 19,000 admissions during the week — broke the record for this fair. The half mile track, on which the racing was held, was in fair condition, and a -number, of ex- cellent contests resulted.

The racing marvel did not lower the mark, but he succeeded in tying it in the face of a strong wind, which blew in a gale down the stretch. The performance was pronounced by horsemen as being the most wonderful mile ever paced by a horse, and it easily demonstrated the fact that the great son of Joe Patchen is able to beat the mark with even chances. Paced by a runner at his side and one behind, the horse went to quarter in :030, half in 0:59, three- quarters in 1:28%, and negotiated the mile in 1:59%. The main event on the card to-day, the Kentucky stake for three-year-olds, was won in straight heats by Susie N.. who was backed for a good thing in the Futurity last week. The race to-day, which was practically a repetition of the Futurity, was devoid of much interest on account of the absence of Miss Adbell, winner of the classic event on the first day of the meeting Bon "Voyage, W. A. Clark's great colt, trotted an excellent race and was a good third in both heats. Lady Mo wry won third money in the 2:20 class trot which went to the sensational trotter Main Sheet. Lady Mowry was second in the fastest heat of this race. Oregon Maid, driven by Charlie Dean, won the 2: OS class pace which required five heats to decide.

SAN FRANCISCO DRIVING CLUB AT SANTA ROSA. Over 300 excursionists went to Santa Rosa last Sun- day to attend the meeting of the San Francisco Driv- ing Club at the famous Santa Rosa Stock Farm track. They found the track faster and in much better shape than any track the club horses had previously raced over, and fast time was made in several of the events. Four races were on the card, but owing to accidents and other delays but two of them were finished. The unfinished races will be concluded at the same track tomorrow afternoon when another excurs.on will be run from this city. In the first race won by N. L B., a son of Diablo. Grace McKinney took the second heat in 2:14';, the fastest of the race, but owing to a collision in the third heat fell and was distanced, as was Cash, driven by Worth Ober. Mr. Ober was pretty badly bruised. The 2:40 class was won by Dan Lieginger with the horse Senator Hearst, his winning heats being in 2:20% and 2:21%. The Chas. Derby horse Ed Rea won the first heat of this race in 2:25. In the free-for-all, which was first advertised to be finished at the end of five heats, the conditions were changed and it was raced according to the best three in five heats. Five heats were decided and then the race had to be postponed until next Sinday. Clara L. won the first two in 2:14% and 2:15, Gertie A. by Diablo took the next two in 2:12% and 2:19%, and Kittie D. by Dictatus the fifth in 2:17 In the 2.25 class Mixer by Nutwood Wilkes took the first heat in 2:22% and Welladay by Steinway got the second in 2:19. The finish of the race was then postponed until the following Sunday. W. J. Kenney, the well known bike builder, made his debut as a starter at this meet ng and got the horses off well and promptly, never scoring them more than three times. W. Murray, A. Benson and J. Bonney were the judges. F. Jensen was assistant starter and B. Smith marshal W. Todd, J. Coon and J Deschler were timers. T. J. Douglass is the secre- tary and J. W. McTigue president of the club. The track was in splendid shape and very fast and the club members highly complimented Manager Frank Turner on its condition and his hospitality. The totalisator was used for betting and was voted "the only" system. It was not only absolutely fair, but it left the money with the public unlike the syn- dicate book.

( By John Lemm^r > The dog's a funny animal — Domesticated kind. The while he his teeth before — He wears his grin behind. This s.-enis qui' leal, Quite waggish — You won't fail To note betimes, a canine's smile Is just a wagging ; I used to know a little purp Wim smiled on me each night. When I returned from my day's work — Mis tail wagged with delight. !(<■ was a Joyous, happy dog — 1 chronicle with pain The fact, he lost his t;iii one day — He never smiled again. Oh! fellers all, be good to dogs — h> my warning hark: Don't twist their tails nor drown their purps— 'Tls wrong to wreck a bark. Never look a big dog In the eye, Your «our;ige well might fall— To know If well he thinks of you, Hnhher p* bis bloomln' tall. At the recent quarterly meeting of the American Kennel Club this important question was thoroughly threshed out. While it is a matter of greater im- portance in the East it is one of growing interest on the Coast. The status of the amateur — whose cloak has covered a multitude of vexations when settlement time came — is now defined. Outside of transportation expenses, the "amateur" judge should be one who can afford to follow the bent of his fancy and stand his legiti- mate expenses, just as an exhibitor does when he takes in a show at another town. The Secretary: 1 have a resolution here, offered by the Membership Committee. It is as follows: Whereas, It is the opinion of the Membership Com- mittee that the status of a paid judge at dog shows and field trials should be determined. Be it Resolved, That a paid judge shall be defined as any- one who shall have received or agrees to receive any monetary compensation for services as a judge at any dog show or field trial. Any judge receiving money for expenses shall be considered a paid judge unless the amount simply covers his necessary and legitimate expenses, which shall consist solely of transporation fares from and to his home, and hotel charges during his stay at the show or trial. Be it further Resolved, That all judges, except paid judges, be and hereby are required to file with the secretary of the American Kennel Club, witlrm thirty days after the show or trials, an itemized bill of his expenses, provided the club at which he judged has or agrees to reimburse him for said expenses, and said reim- bursement accepted by said judge, and any judge who fails to file an itemized bill of expenses as above provided shall be considered a paid judge. Mr. Moore: I move that the resolution be referred to the Rules Committee for consideration. Motion seconded. Mr. Muss-Arnoldt: I move the resolution be adopted. Mr. Viti: I second the motion. Mr. Emery: The idea of the Membership Commit- tee in forming that resolution was simply to get in- struction. We wanted to know how we should define a paid judge, because in these credentials we ask that question, whether or not they are paid judges. The Secretary: As a member of the Rules Com- mittee, it does not appear to me that that is a proper subject for that committee's consideration. If it was a change in the rules in any way, shape or form, then there is no question that it should be committed to the Rules Committee, considered by it and published in the Gazette before it could be finally acted upon at this meeting, but here is a definition only; it is not a rule; it is simply a definition-tor the assistance of the Membership Committee in the prosecution of its duties, so that it may know exactly where it stands. It asks this association to define who is and what is a paid judge. It does not seem to me, as a member of the Rules Committee, that that matter should come before it. Mr. Dale: A professional or paid judge is not eligi- ble, as I understand it, or a Secretary, to represent a club. The Secretary: Further than that, a man to repre- sent a club must think enough of the club to become an active member of it, or the club must think enough of a man to make him an honorary member. Mr. Foster: Suppose one of us goes up to Canada and judges, and we do not choose to charge up any expense at all, every man who does that under this resolution would have to send word to the Secretary of the American Kennel Club that he was not charg- ing his expenses or be considered a paid judge. The Chair: The judge will have to send in word that he has not accepted any money. Mr. Smith: This idea of sending in word to the American Kennel Club within thirty days would only occur where man had received his expenses Many of us go all around the country and judge, and do not charge any expenses, but the object of this is simply to make a fine distinction between the one and the other. Mr. Muss-Arnolt: I think the matter would be much simpler if there was included in the resolution a provision compelling the show's Secretary, when he sends in the catalogue, to send in the list marked ■'amateur judge" or "paid judge." If the show's Sec- retary is compelled to note whether or not a judge is paid, it will simplify the matter considerably. Mr. Smith: That is the idea of that resolution, to determine what an amateur judge is. There are ama- teur judges that will go from here to Honolulu, for instance, and judge at a show and who will send in an imenized account of their expenses amounting to $50 or $75. He is an amateur judge, but how his expenses can amount to as much as that is a puzzle eral of the show secretaries. Mr. Muss-Arnolt's idea of having the show secretary send in a catalogue, marking the judge paid or unpaid, would still give the judge who was supposed to be an amateur the same privilege. Mr. Viti: It seems to me that this wording answers the objection of Mr. Foster, "Provided the club at which he judged has or agrees to reimburse him" Where you pay your own expenses, and do not ask to be reimbursed, you do not have to file any state- ment. Mr. Foster. I happen to think of an instance. The people up in Toronto asked me to come up there and judge Bull Terriers, and they told me to let them know what my expenses would be and they would reimburse me. I told them I was not a professional judge, and was going to their show anyhow, and that I would not charge for any expenses. Those people would probably tell you they had agreed to pay expenses, while I would say I had not charged the: any expenses. Mr. McGuire: The American Kennel Club will ha' to determine whether the charges are excessive oi not. Mr. Muss-Arnolt: That should be left to the show secretary to determine; he is the man that ought to know. Mr. Moore: I agree with the suggestion that secretary of the show should be compelled to sen in a list of his paid and unpaid judges, but I fail see any necessity for the rule at all. Mr. McGuire: This matter has been threshed oul in the Amateur Athletic Union. A man is either an amateur or professional, and this very resolution that you are discussing now has raised a lot of questions. You cannot draw the line as to what ono man's ex- penses would be. I remember, five years ago, among baseball teams it was customary for the members of the teams to play ball at certain summer resorts, and a great many of them received their railroad ex- penses, which amounted to $400 or $500, but they were still amateurs. This is the same question, nothing different. Mr. Smith: For the very reason that the gentleman gives, I think that it has become the duty of the American Kennel Club, or the delegates, or some com- mittee to determine what an amateur judge is, inas- much as it has been a very much disabused privilege by several people, who pose as amateur judges, going around to different shows and saying they would act as judges provided their expenses were paid, and when the shows conies to settle the bill for their expenses, they are found to be greatly in excess of what they should be. I am saying this for the benefit of several of the delegates here who seem to be in favor of adopting this resolution. The Secretary : I can tell you of two instances, and both men are gentlemen amateur judges, whi would not under any consideration accept remunera Lion for judging. One of them went from New Yor] to Philadelphia. We all know that the excursion ra is $4, and a dollar for a drawing-room seat the; and back makes $6. He stayed there four days, which he had a right to do, because he has a right to stay until the close of the show, for the reason that he is a judge until the close of the show. He paid about the highest rate for hotel expenses, $7 a day, which was $2S, plus $6 for railroad transportation, making $34 altogether. Every dollar that he received in ex^ cess of $34 was paid for his services to that club. He put in a bill for expenses $75, and he claims he is strictly an amateur judge. In another case, in Pitts- burg, the receipted bill showed $75 charged, and yel $30 was more than a generous allowance, for t man lived only a little way from Pittsburg. Mr. Dale: I claim there are enough gentlemen in. the dog world who will go around and judge without any remuneration at all. It is one or the other. Mr. Middlebrooke: I am in favor of passing the resolution if you will change it to read that the secre- tary of the club or the superintendent will make the return. I move, as an amendment, that the return be made by the secretary of the club holding the show or superintendent. Mr. McGuire: I move an amendment to that amend- ment, making it obligatory upon the secretary of the show to file with the secretary of the American Ken- nel Club a statemen of all moneys paid to judges at shows. Any man who is paid in excess of his railroad transportation expenses will be considered by the American Kennel Club a professional judge. Mr Middlebrooke. I should be willing to pay a rea- sonable hotel bill. Mr. McGuire: A man who has no objection to accepting his hotel expenses, should have no objection to becoming a professional. Mr. Smith: That question was brought up by one? of the members of the committee when we framed this resolution, who assumed the case of a man being sent from here to Denver to judge, and the man could not afford to pay his railroad expenses, and unless he were allowed to receive that amount of compensa- tion, he could not judge at that show, and, therefore, his being an amateur would prevent him going. Mr. McGuire: That applies to the amateur ir; every line of sport. If a man wants to remain an amateur, he must, necessarily, be in a position to afford to remain such. If he is not and does not care to be-5 come a professional, let him refrain from judging. You have got to draw the line and you have got to draw it very close. Mr. McGuire's proposed amendment was put to a vote and lost. • Mr Moore: I move that the resolution be referred to the Rules Committee. Motion seconded and lost. Mr. Middlebrooke's proposed amendment was also put and lost. Mr. McGuire: I move That the resolution be laid on the table. Motion seconded and carried. Mr. Emery offered the following resolution: Be it Resolved, That a paid judge shall be defined as any one who shall have received or agrees to reJ ceive any monetary compensation for services as a judge at any dog show or field trial. Any judge re- ceiving money for expenses shall be considered a paiy at Paterson. More than half a century ago a Mr. ohn Ryle, who had spent his life in the silk indus- ■y in Paterson, introduced this industry and the multicaulis craze," as it was termed, was widely revalent about this time when people raised mul- erry trees everywhere and especially at Paterson, •here many old trees of this kind still exist. The raze, however, finally died out when it was found nat the Americans could not compete with the pauper ,ibor of Italy, Spain, Murcia and China in reeling from le cocoons and in feeding the worm, both of which re very tedious and poorly paid operations. It was, owever, found on experiment that the Italian and panish silkworm produced even better silk on Amer- on mulberry leaves than on the leaves of its native >il, and it was without question possible to rear and se the silkworm here to perfection. The cost of do- lg so being the only objection and this seems to e insuperable. 1 The silkworm gut which is used for fishing is imost entirely of Italian and Spanish production and ;s length seldom exceeds two feet and the thickness ^ the best salmon gut is always limited by the ngth, being less as its length is increased. A strand I gut is seldom strong and durable if over 23 inches ■ng and of course when made into leaders the knots ■e the weak points in every leader made. This much is true of the gut of commerce, but I iVe in my possession a supply of Japanese gut hich was sent me in 1894 by Professor K. Misukuis "Tokio University (a Yale graduate), and of which .any strands are 10 and some 14 feet long, of fine xture and stronger than any Spanish gut of equal lickness. Most of these strands are finer than the lest drawn gut of Murcia manufacture and are the Uural product of the silk glands of the calijula xomica. This gut can be obtained from an old and liable firm whose address is Rikichi Nakamura, inza Itchome Tokio. Japan. I have never seen more ;autiful strands of silk than these are and when it borne in mind that the longest leaders for fine trout ;hing can thus be provided by Japan without a sin- e knot or weak junction of the strand, the desir- ■ility of this gut is evident and in the future will rtainly be recognized by the dealers of England and is country. It is used extensively in Japan for all rts of fishing and especially for the capture of a ecies of the salmon nidae plecoglossus aetivelis, Jap me Argu. This fish ascends all the rivers of Japan oper, and is only from two to three inches at first, it grows to a foot or more when fully grown. It is Ued for its delicate flavor. The famous cormorant hing on the Najara river in Gifu (Central Japan), ;: for catching this game fish. Artificial insects (of *iich I have samples, — dressed on hooks without rb), are used for catching these fish and are tied ■ in the American and English way to the leader ree and sometimes four on a leader 14 feet long. I'lich leader is without a knot. The Japanese silkworm unquestionably produces IB finest and largest white gut, but the American Ikworm attacus cecropia from which I have drawn «d have in my possession two fibres or strands of '■ and 13 feet long, of strong gut and fairly thick and t a faint coffee color is the most promising worm for 1; production of native gut that I know of. This is 1 : largest silkworm konwn in existence and often f»ws to five inches in length, feeding on the plum, : ale, "button ball" bush (cephalanthus occidentalis) i i many other deciduous trees. Its habitat is coex- tisive with the United States and wherever there is si that will grow shrubs and trees the cecropia finds i home and makes her cocoon. The silk thread that lift be drawn is even stronger than the Spanish gut, $5 per size, and it is thicker when desired than any s mon gut ever drawn. 'here are three other American silkworms from *ich white strands . can be drawn of very good 0 Uity, but not always reliable strength as with the £ inish and cecropia. These are scientifically termed A acus prometheus, Attacus luna and Attacus poly- y mus. Each one of these is well worth experiment a I the time is approaching when this source of A erican gut will be largely drawn upon and pre- f -ed to the product, of Spain and Italy. This is a b i prophecy, but worth consideration. 'he method of "drawing" gut is practically the le with all the worms used for that purpose. One "rintion is sufficient for all the species of silkworm ' ch have been enumerated and is as follows: The ■ b or full grown larvae when it ceases to feed and - ws tiny strip of exuding silk from the mouth is taken and thrown into diluted acetic acid or vinegar for a few hours until the natural moisture of the viscera is as if it were pickled and absorbed by the acid. The. worm is then taken out and the head snipped or pulled off and the silk sacs, which are two in most of the silkworms, can be drawn out intact and laid on a sheet of glass for further manipulation. The sacs can now be taken between finger and thumb of both hands and stretched out slowly till the desired length and thickness is arrived at. Two pins should be fixed on a board by an assistant at this point and the ends of the gut should be wound round each pin and held for a few minutes for all the coils to harden and so retain the strand taut for drying. This needs exposure in dry, warm air for a period of at least 24 hours of the Spanish worm and in the case of all the American worms at least three days. The longer the cecropia strand is kept before using the stronger it becomes, and the same fact obtains with the other native worms. The silk of the bombyx mori, however, ripens and hardens almost instantly in the sunny atmosphere of Murcia and is soon ready for the next process which is necessary before it is fit for the market. The gut as it now is has the envelope of the silk remaining on it, and this has to be removed by boil- ing in a bleaching fluid which consists of a mild lye of soap which softens and whitens the yellowish thread of the stretched sac and its contents. "When this is done the Murcian operator — mostly women — draw the thread through the teeth and the process is very often attended by laceration of the lips pro- ducing a painful appearance of bleeding which the sufferer does not seem to mind much, though the un- initiated onlookere will find it sickening to behold This seems to be a process which is found indispens- able, for some years ago Mr. Samuel Allcock, the largest English importer, tried the experiment of sending for gut that had not been bleached and boiled and still had the skin on it with the idea of taking off the skin and preparing the gut himself at his Red- ditch factory. Here is his account of the result, pub- lished in the English Fishing Gazette of that rate, May 11, 1892: "After the correspondence which took place in your paper about three years ago on the manufacture of gut, we wrote out to Murcia. asking our manager there to send 1 cwt. of gut, instructing him neither to have it boiled nor bleached. We received it, but in the process of removing the orange skin the workers made it all flat by using their fingernails in peeling the outer skin off. There was scarcely a round piece of gut in a thousand. We could not sell it. We there- fore wrote to our manager about it, who said if we would return it he thought he could put it all right. This I doubted very much, as I could not see how he was going to make it round. Nor was I wrong; for, after having bleached it, he returned it to us again — but as fiat as ever. This experiment was a loss to us of £50. We have still a small quantity of that gut left; but no dealer will buy it. 'If any tackle-maker will order a few thousand of gut in the natural state, we will import it to them and will order a few thousand to be sent out of this season's crop to be unbleached, but boiled, so that the workers can peel off the orange skin easily with- out flattening it. As soon as we get it, I will send you some. I am, etc., S. ALLCOCK." One point is probably important in the drawing of gut which is seldom mentioned in the descriptions of the process, viz., that the Murcian holds the sac in the vinegar with one hand while he draws the other end with the other — the right. I have, however, not found it necessary to do this with our native worms. When their sac is stretched in air it seems to harden at once and there is no skin to be re- moved from the cecropia's gut, at least. Of this cecropia gut I have a leader in my possession tied by a Long Island trout fisherman 30 years ago. or thereabouts, of strands of this gut not less than 20 inches each in length and many larger, and the . whole leader is 60 feet long. The maker of this leader made it during one year, and used it as he needed it. cutting it in six-feet lengths. How long it originally was I cannot say, but I have yet the length stated wound on a wooden lath and as good as ever and capable of lifting any brook trout I have lately seen Certainly a five-pound trout would not break it by any fair means. Spanish gut is usually imported whole, but the finest gut is what is known as "drawn" through steel plates pierced with holes of the required diameter. The Japanese gut in my possession does not need this, but the Spanish does, and the English dry-fly angler needs the very finest gossamer leader in his business. This "drawn" gut is not much used in the United States where the more rapidly flowing waters for the most part preclude the "dry" or "floating- fly" form of fishing. Gut is often tinted or stained to render it less, visible in the water. Its natural white brilliancy is too apparent on a sunny day. In order to disguise this there are several excellent recipes known to the expert leader-maker and fly-tier and I give the following as the most perfect and innocuous of their kind: (1) Mist color: Handful logwood chips, quart soft boiling water, copperas size of small nut. Immerse for 10 minutes and dry slowly in open air. This rather strengthens than weakens the gut. (2) Light brown may be dyed without injury to the gut by steeping in strong coffee infusion about 2T. minutes. This dye is very useful for gut to be used on streams having a brownish tint from much pine branch col- oration. (3) A blue tint is obtained from the In- fusion of a few grains of gum logwood and a few grains of sulphate of iron, watching the depth of color and when blue enough immerse the gut in clear -water. (4) Another fine sky color is ob- tained by infusing a teaspoonful of ground logwood, a pinch of carbonate of soda and piece of copperas the size of a coffee bean. This is the recipe of the famous David Foster of Dovedale, England, Derby- shire, whose skill was Waltonian, amongst the trout of the Dove river. The strengthening and preservation of gut is easily accomplished and should be done when the gut is sufficiently valuable to warrant the process as in the case of salmon leaders of long and thick gut The following recipe has been used by ?n accom- plished and scientific angler for this purpose: One ounce of one part chromic acid and five parts of water to five ounces of pure glycerine. Steep the gut for 10 days and then submerge in one part of carbolic acid and five parts glycerine, preserving It in this solution until required for use. Gut can be kept from one season to another in this way with- out change of color and with added strength, where- as if it were laid aside in a dry place or exposed to the dust and air, in a few months it would become brittle and useless. The selection of the right gut and the right tying of the strands constitutes an art in which there are very few experts. Yet the modus-operandi is simple and only requires the proper temperament for suc- cess. In the first place, a fine quality of gut is in- dispensable for both trout and salmon leaders and the magnifying glass must be used to determine and reject any flawed strands or flat or irregular appear- ing ones, no matter how insignificant the blemish may seem to be. Having selected the proper material it should be softened in soft water (filtered rain water for choice) and allowed to remain over night. A damp flannel should be spread before the tier so that no wet strands may dry in the process of tying. It is essential that the gut should be flexible and easily bent. The next process is the knot and this is a difficult task to teach in writing, but if the reader carefully follows directions he will not fail to get the correct idea. To begin the leader a loop of the ordi- nary kind is tied in one end of the first strand. There is no complication in this knot. It is a simple loop passed round and pulled through and drawn tight. The other end of the strand is formed into two half- hitches and held between the finger and thumb of the left hand. With the right finger and thumb the end of another strand is passed through the two half- hitches and two half-hitches are to be taken round the straight strand above the other two hitches. The four hitches are then drawn tight by means of the two straight lengths of gut, so that they lie together superimposed. This knot is the strongest knot pos- sible for gut, as it does not permit slipping and is susceptible of being cut close, so that it is neat and secure at all times. Another joining knot is made by taking the two ends of two gut strands and laying them side by side, turning them round into a circu- lar loop and passing the free two ends through the loop, pulling the two strands tight and snipping off the short ends. I prefer, however, the double-hitch knot to every other one that is used. Of course, snells are looped in the same way as the leader, and when reinforced so as to be double near the shank of the snelled hook, it is only necessary to tie a long loop and cut through the end of this loop, tying in the two ends on the shank with waxed thread. (Concluded next week.) "THEM BORSABONE DORGS." The following reminiscence by Captain Thos. L. Merry will be interesting to the lover of a good rod and reliable duck dog. Charles Murphy, of Newark, conceived the idea of making a split bamboo rod after seeing the "made masts" f a California clipper ship. Incidentally we might mention that Murphy was probably the introducer and maker of the trunk rod or "Sabbath breaker," but, however, that is another story and we will let the captain tell the present one: "I was born in New York in 1834 and lived there till 1S43 when, my father being four years dead, my mother and I went to live with my uncle who lived on Staten Island. My mother re-married in 1S46 and we lived in New York till May, 1849, when we took up our residence in Newark. N. J. Before leaving New York I was in very poor health and my mother took me to Dr. Edward Delafield, one of the most eminent physicians in the metropolis. He gave me three sep- arate examinations and then said: "Take this boy out in the country and give him a shotgun and a fish- ing rod. Let him get out of it all the fun there, is in life for he will never live to see twenty-two years." I thought of this at fifty .again at sixty and, you may rest assured when I reached the patriarch's age of three score and ten. This may explain to some of my less intimate friends why I grew up an unclassed man, having no profession above that of swift-water steamboat pilot. On reaching Newark I went to school one year, my Gamaliel being a sturdy little Irishman named Bearnard Kearny, who was a good teacher of pen- manship but not much of an instructor at anything else. One of my schoolmates was the late Michael Corrigan, Archbishop of New York. Even that year of school was too much for my restless spirit. In those days there were no silk manufacturers on the Passaic River and the water was clear ;is crystal from Belleville up to Paterson, and there it was I caught my first striped bass, while Daniel Webster and Henry W. Herbert (Frank Forrester) sat in a boat not forty yards away and watched mc land the first .a glorious six-pounder, caught with a bait of "shedder" crab. Down on the brackish meadows, overflowed ever since the bursting of the Maple Island dam, was a patch called the "Scalded Meadows" where no gras^ ever grew, but it was sprinkled all over with little hassocks; and among these in the spring and fall seasons, you were good for a dozen 'English" snipe, almost any day of overcast weather. In August and September these meadows afforded food and shelter 10 ®iu- gxccltev ani* Sportsman .October 2J. 1905 for = 0g birds such as yellow legs. d0, ailed robin snipe there) willets, martins alld lh„ - tight-billed pharalope known on Lone Island as the "piote" and in New Jersey as the ,.V: i buili a blind not far from the ruined dam. with Henry M.

On reaching the city he asked where 1 was going and I told him 1 was going down aboard the new ship Simon Morton, of which my cousin (William L. Merry, now United States minister r.

"I can take- some lancewood and cut into fine strip; like that -t and make a pole that will hold a twenty-pound bass easier than that pole of yours will hold one weighing five." . . The split banboo rod soon followed the original lancewood rod made by Charley, which he presented to Henry Corey. Murphy had tested materials with weights and found that bamboo had greater tensile strength than greenheart which proved itself superior to lancewood. He was the real inventor of the pres- tly-rod, though he never turned out as good work as Fowler, Devine or Nichols, of Boston, they being just as far ahead of Orvis, Conroy and a dozen other rodmakers. But. the reader will ask. what has all this piscatorial pronounciamento to do with the caption of this article? Summer had come and gene, for the year was m its sheaf. The "flicker" tapped steadily away at his winter mast of acorns that he had driven into the trunk of some old .dead oak. The squirrel barked merrily on the limb of the hickory tree that was fur- nishing him with his fodder for the next six months. And. in the language of that most gifted of Pennsyl- vania's most gifted sons: ■ Alone, from out the stubble, piped the quail And croaked the crow, thro' all the dreary gloom Alone the pheasant, drumming in the vale. Made distant echo to the cottage loom." Long streaming files of ducks came in triangular phalanxes from the frozen fens of Labrador, as with mighty but weary pinions, they fanned the thin and frostv air aloft. I had shot martins, willets, dowitchers and yellowlegs by the dozen but I had yet to kill my first 'wild duck. Meeting Murphy on the street one night, he told me to come up to his house and see what a nice lot of "stools" he was making for the approach- ing duck season. He had flushed two of them and had just begun to paint them as I entered his little workshop. Npw as I stood admiring them a low- growl came from under the workbench and Murphy called out "Be quiet. Wayne, go back and lay down." "No, bring him out and let me look at him. Is he a Setter or a Pointer. - "He's neither one and yet a little of both." replied Charley. "He's a Borsabone dorg." "A wh-a-a-at?" I gas- d. • He's jist as I tell ye. He's a Borsabone dorg. i bj Mr. Borsabone. an old Frenchman that lives up as ye go from Morristown to Madison.

He was a . 1 dog and very curly in his coat. Murphy had given $10 for him as a pup and named him after old "Mad Anthony." He became fast friends with .me after a few minutes.

The salt marsh districts last Sunday morning early echoed and re-echoed with a popping of the duck hunters' guns that rapidly developed into a general fusilade that was not unlike the lively skir- mishes that are the prelude of a great battle. On every shooting ground in the bay counties marsh sec- tions the hunters were never more numerous on the opening day of the hunting season. So closely bunched were the shooters in some sections of the Alameda marshes that hunters had posted themselves along the banks of sloughs not more than 100 yards apart. In that district alone it is estimated that there was at least 1'500 men and boys out with their guns. i\or were they less numerous in the Sonoma and Petaluma marshes. The down train to this city on Sunday night on the Sonoma branch of the Califor- nia Northwestern road consisted of ten cars filled with returning duck and quail hunters. So was it with all incoming trains that connected with ferry boats for this city; each train and boat had its quota of returning huntsmen. Results generally were good, bad or indifferent ac- cording to localities. Weather conditions were excel- lent, particularly so on the Suisun marsh hunting ground. A fairly strong westerly- wind Saturday night developed into a just strong, enough northwest wind on Sunday morn.ng This with a suspicious flavoring of a lower temperature in the atmosphere in the morning made practically- an ideal California duck shooting morning — or duck hunting morning as you like. The majority of the gunmen in that section were stationed in blinds over baited ponds and did not hunt or "work" the marsh for birds. However, working a tale marsh in the Susan is almost an im- possibility and pond shooting is the only practical way of getting results in one of the finest duck shooting sections — that is contiguous to a metropol s — in the world. Members of the Field and Tule, Ibis, Teal, Cordelia and Family Gun Clubs, at Herman Oelrichs' shooting box. and other well known shooting resorts got many limit bags. On Joyce Island, further north, good shooting was the order of the day. In the Collinsville section the sportsmen had excellent shooting. Many of the gun club members who shot north of Collinsv.lle staid over until Monday evening, the sport being of an alluring character. On the Sonoma and Petaluma marshes a lack of water in the ponds cut the shooting down corre- spondingly. At the "bridges" near Alviso many limit bags were made by shooters from this city and San Jose. At Mt. Eden. Alvarado and other places on the East side good bags were too numerous to allow of indi- vidual enumeration. The Empire Gun Club members were at the Elk- horn slough preserves in force and had a splendid opening day shoot. A noticeable feature among the returning shooters was the number of Japanese gunners who had been out in marsh and field The 6:10 boat that connected with the narrow gatige train from the east side brought over about forty "John Keeners." Many of them were rigged out in the latest styles of khaki hunting suits. It was evident from the game they brought in that everything with feathers on was fair game. One pudgy little brown man proudly carried a seagull up Market street, others had rail, "spaterias," mudhens, shore birds and a miscellaneous assortment of other birds. Quail hunters had but fair sport, few limit bags be- ing reported. Weather conditions for a week previous were too warm for good sport, the ground was dry and dusty, making it hard tramping for the hunter and arduous work for the dogs. The outlook for the season, for both duck and quail hunting, is, on the whole, better than for many sea- sons past. San Antone Creek — Notwithstanding the poor luck ■f a number of good fishermen at this striped bass wetter recently, the fact that the fish are there is patent. Mr. Bliss landed an 18 pounder about two weeks ago A. M. Cumming and Mr. Church landed l-sh list Friday and Saturday, some with the troll ng spoon and some with clam baits. Mr. Church honked the largest lish. one that weighed 1SU, pounds. Last Sunday quite a number of anglers ere on the slough, but with the exception of several resultless strike, the day's sport was barren. Saturday -> lii pound bass and the Sunday e- an P pound bass were caught by Mr. le. ashed in Shell slough, on the Napa marsh side. Striped Bass at Eckley — Recent reports from Eck- ley Station, Contra Costa county, are to the effect ii. it th- Striped bass are still plentiful in the straits and good catches of fish from three to fifteen pounds weight have been made. Eckley station is about a mile east of Crockett on the S. P. road. '; The Editor Breeder and Sportsman. San Francisco. Dear Sir — In a recent issue of the Breeder and Sports- man you mention the case of Mr. Lett's Collies. Since your article appeared I asked for a ruling on the question of American bred dogs and have just been informed that these Collies are not American bred. The letter says: "The quest.on has been definitely decided by the A. K C. An official ruling has beer, promulgated by the Rules Committee." We may assume that such an important thing as a ruling by the Rules Committee would be given pun-J licity in the Gazette, yet I have been unable to find! anyone who knows anything about any such ruling being mentioned in the Gazette. Presumbaly the rules of the A. K. C. are published.! in dog show premium lists for the information ofj exhibitors, yet in no place in the rules does it specify what an American bred dog is. Rule S tells us that a bitch sent abroad to be bred and returned to this country to whelp shall have bei progeny "considered" as American bred. That is a ruling on a certain specific case and does not covet the question of American bred. If th.s is so, thea no other dog can be American bred, which is absurd as what then is the nationality of the thousands of dogs whelped yearly in this country? An exhibitor cannot guess at the meaning attached to a rule by the Rules Committee. Rules should be sufficiently plain so that even the utmost novice ir dogdom can understand them. That someth.ng is radically w-rong in this rule oi in the method of recording wins at 22 Liberty street is also shown by this case. The Collie "Clinker of Holmby" won first novice Los Angeles and was given credit by the A K. CII for such win in the records. The dog is now decideci'i not to be American bred and therefore his w-.n all Los Angeles should not have become a matter o! record but should have been cancelled by the secretar} II of the A. K. C. just as any other win made by a doji not eligible to the class. Apparently while we are told that the A. K. C. hac decided this question of American bred dogs, it haill never before found it necessary to make a new- rulcl so that its secretary might know the nationality ol a dog from the entry. The follow-ing is a notice sent out to clubs t week: "Kindly note for future use that entries the noivce class must give the breeder, sire and d; which details are necessary to show that the en'ce are American-bred and entitled to compete in tl._ class." Now how's that for a rule? Just read it ovei carefully again and then tell me how such a rule cat help the secretary of the A. K. C or anyone elseH tell the nationality of the entry. Just imagine till'' following entry: Collies — Novice dogs— John Thompson, Scotch Mist! Id. April 1st, 1S04. Breeder. John Buchanan. H-ghland — Nectar — black and white. Now is that dog American or not? No woi Rule S is vague and indistinct in its meaning wi such a rule as the above is sent out in sober ea: by the same committee. If the Rules Committee will only re-write Ru so that exhibitors will know what an American dog is and then make it obligatory on an exhibl to state on the entry blank w-hether his dog is A: ican bred or not, the committee will save not the secretary of the A. K. C. from guess work exhibitors from annoyance, but also w-ill save o worked club officials much toil w-hen the judgin; special prizes commences. For the convenience of your readers I publish th following, which is the only information given oulj by the A K. C. on American bred dogs: 1. American-bred dogs. NONE. 2. "Considered" American-bred dogs— The folloi ing: A bitch sent to Europe to be bred, bred ther and returned to whelp in this country. Bitch to b property of American citizen. The progeny of such bitch to be "considered" American-bred. 3. NOT American-bred dogs— The following: bitch, sister to bitch in No. 2. is bought in Europ by an American citizen. After he becomes the owne he causes her to be bred to the same dog as wa her sister in No. 2 The bitch is then sent to America whelps here, and the resulting puppies are not eve; "considered" American-bred. The difference, therefore, between an Americt bred and a foreign bred dog is according to the presen rules of the A. K. C. a journey across the Atll and back. Now. Mr. Editor, "bred" means begot, and as litters of puppies are begot in Europe, they are Euro pean bred and only American born. Won't you as the Rules Committee for we poor exhibitors to giv us a straight American bred dog. without any "col sider" in its make up. Just a plain American bre and a foreign bred, with a definition of each whicj even an old exhibitor can understand? Yours obediently, NORMAN J. STEWART. San Jose, October 18th. 1905 The American Kennel Club, of course, is the govj erning body for American dogdom. notwithstanding the ruling on the case above referred to. we are sti] inclined to believe that, as so far as the spirit the rule concerned, the Collies should be accepted American bred, for they were so to all intents and pui poses. , In the event that the A. K. C. does not feel incline to be specific in details in this respect, we make tl further suggestion that the status be defined, of dos imported in utero. It 'ii' * FREE S MPLE.

A many farmers who have been writing the writer seem to think that in preparing to lay cement feeding or should dig below frost Ml with broken rock, gi S to make a Arm foundation upon which the floor should rest. This is o need labor. Simply level the ground, or it" you desire to have the surface of the floor level with the surrounding ground you should dig four or five .inches deep. Hoard's Dairyman gives the plan for preparing the cement as follows: Use any standard brand of cement, and to one part of cement add seven parts of gravel, made up of good. nd and pebbles up to two Indies in diameter. Spread the gravel on a platform to an oven depth of a few inches, and upon this spread the cement evenly with shovels. Then work the cement thoroughly into the gravel by turning the two together sev- eral times, until the whole is a uni- form color. To this mixture add enough water to make it easily handled and so it will quake under the tamper and the water flush to the surface when tamping is complete. Do not wet the mixture until ready to use it. and the suggestion is made to have it in place and tamped in one hour after wetting The mixture must be turned several times after the water is added to make it evenly wet. The concrete is put in place in sec- tions, five inches deep and six feet wide, crossways of the stable floor. Commencing at one end, place a board five inches high, six feet from the end. and fill the sections to the full depth as you go along. When one section is filled and thoroughly tamped until it quakes, move your board ahead six feet and fill in the fresh space. Sec- tions may be less than six feet wide, but should not be more. When the concrete is in place and is still green you are ready to put on the skim coat. This is made up of sand and cement in the proportion of two sand to one cement, mixed to a good, even mortar, spread on with plasterer's trowel to the depth of one inch and finish smooth like a cement sidewalk. Make no effort to give the concrete a smooth finish, for the cement coat gets a much better bond on a rough surface. A good way to roughen the surface for the skim coat is to walk around on your heels while the concrete is being tamped into place, but on no account disturb it after setting has begun, or you will spoil it by prevent- ing further setting. In putting on skim coat use a one inch strip and apply mortar as thick as the strip. After the skim coat is on and smoothed down it must be roughened to prevent stock from slipping. This is done as follows: To a piece of six inch planed board, one foot long, fasten with small fin- ishing nails triangular shaped strips as long as the width of the board, one- fourth of an inch deep, and one-fourth of an inch wide at the base, spacing them about two inches apart At one edge of the board the strips are beveled off at a good angle so they will not catch the cement when the corruga- tions are made. When the "corrugator" is made and drawn across the freshly-troweled sur- coat the strips will cut ditches one-fourth of an inch deep and one- fourth of an inch wide at the top. which will make a surface sufficiently rough to prevent the floor from being at all slippery. SUCCESSFUL WOOL SALE. The first wool sale held in the town of Wheatland was a complete success, and practically all the wool offered was disposed of at fair figures for fall clip, says the "Four Corners." The sale was conducted at the C. K. Dam warehouse, and to Mr. Dam's ef- forts is largely due the complete suc- cess of the first Wheatland wool sale. His experience heretofore stood him in f good stead and matters were so ar- ranged that it was a simple task for buyer and seller to reach an under- standing quickly. In this manner the sale was conducted without a hitch, ana and was satisfactory to all concerned. In all 350 bales were represented and we give below the transactions: Eight bales, C. K Dam, sold for 16 cents to Rosenberg. Fifteen and a half bales, D. P. Durst, sold for 17 y*. cents to Mary s ville Woolen Mills. One hundred and twenty-six bales, Price Blackford; bid rejected; after- ward sold private to Green. Three bales, Chas. Greitman, sold for 14% cents to Marysvllle Woolen Mills. Fifteen bales, Butler & Bergman, sold for 15% cents to Green. Thirteen bales, Wm. Carter, sold for 1G^2 cents to Rosenberg. Six bales, H. Jasper, sold for 15 cents to Findley. Nine bales, T. W.

Vance, the Texas dairy expert, thus replies to a correspondent who asks information about starting a farm dairy: This subject is a b'g one and the im- portant points can scarcely be men- tioned in a short article. The first thing to be considered is the man him- self: he must have a love for the dairy business or he is not likely to succeed. Next in importance are the cows The right ones must be selected, the breed to which they belong does not matter, but they must be economical produc- ers. They must produce at least 200 pounds of butter fat per year; 250 would be a great deal better and 300 still more desirable, but it is not like- ly that our correspondent can pur- chase a great many that will produce more than 200 pounds per year. He will have to depend upon himself to breed better ones. If our correspondent expects to make butter he will need a room in which to store and r.pen his cream and pack his butter. The dairy room must also be well ventilated. It should be light las there is nothing of greater impor- tance in a place like this kind than pure and unadulterated sunlight. Di- rect sunlight is the best and most economical germ destroyer and purifier that we have, and too much sunlight cannot be gotten into a dairy room. Arrangements for an abundance of hot water must be made, 'it is equally im- portant to have an abundance of cold i'water. For this purpose ice may be needed. If so, our corespondent should provide an ice house in which to store [ice enough to last him throughout Ethe summer months. Have plenty Df it I The right kind of salt is necessary. |Too little attention is often paid to the K:nd of salt used for salting butter. Kelect the best dairy salt on the mar- ket. Remember that a salt which ab- Eorbs moisture from the atmosphere Is never a good salt, because it is not loure. A salt that absorbs moisture |:ontains more or less magnesiam chlo- lide and this substance is really the |>ne that absorbs the moisture. Pure j:alt will remain perfectly dry regard- less of the amount of moisture in tht Ittmosphere. The salt granules should lift be too large, but rather of medium llze. Many dairymen make the mis- lake of separating their cream too hin. I "Where cream is shipped freight is Baved if the cream carries from 30 to Id per cent of fat rather than 20 to |5 per cent, and more skim milk will llso he kept on the farm. This argu- ment does, of course, not obtain with I man who makes his own butter. Blevertheless, it is of importance for im to separate about 30 per cent Bream, because the richer the cream lie lower the temperature at which it l-m be churned, and the lower the Ismperature at which it is churned, I:her things equal, the better the qual- |y of the butter. | There are a number of different ■takes of churns on the market, but ■arhaps the most convenient churn It dairies are those of the barrel type, i butter worker will be needed and liose of the lever type are very satis- $ ctory In regard to power, the small ■isollne engines now on the market lpe very satisfactory, and in many in- Bances more economical than any I her kind. A small engine of that Ind may he regulated so as to run all | e dairy machinery and many other I ings besides. One feature of the fc.iry business to which our corre- ct ondent should give special attention ■ the necessity of regularity in every- |[ng that is done. The cows should ',' fed and milked at regular periods ■ d the customers must be supplied th products that are uniform in ap- 1 arance. Have special days each " ek for each customer and then see i it that the products are delivered < those days regardless of the con- I Rion of the weather. As soon as the Hstomer finds that he can reply upon | M:h service, and if a good article is s>pl!ed, there will he no opportunity S competitors to take away estab- 1 led trade. t isn't a bad idea to put up some t of shelter sheds in the pasture d for swine. Often during the win- there are cold nights and chilling is which hogs are subjected for the c of suitable shelter. This greatly r trds their growth and often the e of their development is so far re- zed that their profit is a question. PHENOL S0DIQUE beals SORES, CUTS and BITES on Man and Beast.

On Sept. 4th, he made his first fast mile of the season and paced the Hamline Track at the Minnesota State Fair before 60,000 people in 1:59#. On the following Saturday, Sept. 9th, he gave the state fair another fast mile in 1:57>2 with the last quarter in :27^. The track en Monday was slow on account of a ten hours steady rain the Saturday night previous. Dan was immediately shipped to the Indiana State Fair and on Sept. 13th, before 50,000 people he paced a mile in 2:0Q}4 without the pace maker and in a strong breeze. He was then shipped to Allentown, Penn., and broke two World's records in the afternoon of Sept. 21st. before 82,000 people. At this time he OF HIS LIFE. reduced the World's half-mile track record from 2:03 to 2:01 and within forty minutes reduced the half-mile track wagon record from 2:11 to 2:05. It will be admitted by all horsemen that Dan's mile on a half-mile track in 2:01 was fully equal to his mile track record of 1:56. Withiu 17 days from bis start Dan paced 5 remarkable miles and was shipped over 1200 miles.

My Dear Mr. Savage— Some time since I had the pleasure of receiving the pictures of Dan Patch and the rest of your horses which I requested you to kindly send me. I appreciate the promptness with which you complied. In this connection I desire to assure you that I am and have been for sometime a regular feeder of your "International Stock Food" and find it gives excellent results. I purchase the large sized pails and keep it constantly on hand. "International Stock Food" is used very extensively at the stables here, especially on the track. My Stallion, Edgar Boy 2:08^ gets his daily allowance. He is now in training on the track, preparing to lower his mark. We confidently expect him to reduce it to about 2:05 or better this season. He is strong and full of nerve force and a great feeder, not a little of his good condition being attributable to his daily allowance of "International Stock Food." He is the kind that goes without the straps, toe-weights, or leg wear of any kind, a perfectly gaited frictionless going horse. Yes, there is hardly a good training stable here but what feeds your Stock Food. W. HADMAN,.

It is not M:ly that those who have had to do with the framing Othe written and unwritten laws governing racing Ir saw anything actually sinful or criminal in ning horses on Sunday, but being persons of per- jb?acity and good judgment as well as liberal nided and respectful of the opinions and feelings of ■era, they recognized the fact that a very large P portion of the citizens of the United States hold Eiday in reverence as a day to be devoted to wor- g p, and have considered it no more than right that King associations should not hold their meetings 0 that day, out of respect to the feelings of religious piple. There are six days in the week during vich racing can be held, and it shows respect for t opinions of others and tolerance as well as charity p the part of the members of the leading racing a ociations that they refuse to hold meetings where j:-ses are awarded, admission fees charged and bet- 1 g conducted on the first day of the week. "We B led to these remarks by the recent action of a ti Francisco club in visiting a neighboring town el holding a meeting on Sunday. There are many €:ellent men who are among the best patrons of this jirnal in membership with that club. That they fcve intended or done anything wrong we do not 't ieve, but we are convinced that it will be better ■ the harness horse breeding industry as well as tf the grand sport of harness racing if these Sunday t etings be cut out in the future. Speedway driving ki road brushing on Sunday is as legitimate as on ev other day, and is enjoyable and to be encouraged ven conducted in the proper manner. But a regu- fl race meeting is an entirely different thing. One ithe action of individuals while the other is that of i organization asking for the patronage of the pub- p. Horsemen should do nothing as a body that will i:ur the ill will of the general public. Race meet- i;s on Sunday are held to be in bad taste by hun- cedo and thousands of citizens who would be pleased 1 attend them on other days. Harness horsemen ould try to cultivate these people instead of an- ijonizing them. If the running tracks were open on ! ndays it would not be long until laws would be issed to close them entirely. The association man- ners know this and keep their gates closed, although lire is no doubt but large crowds would attend and ! nday racing be very profitable to them. We sug- R3t to the different driving clubs in California that i;y indulge in no more Sunday race meetings. Go « the speedways or the training tracks where en- ' ince is free and no purses are offered, and speed ur horses, but do not advrtise regular Sunday '^hig The sentiment of a very large part of the Mpectable element of the country is against it, and by : ipecting that sentiment harness horsemen will in !"n command the respect of the communities wherein ?y reside. has given general satisfaction. The fact that the Occident stakes of 1904 and 1905 were drawn out to seven and six heats respectively doubtless led the board to make the new condition govern all future stakes advertised, entries for which are not yet closed. Of course those stakes already closed must be gov- erned by the conditions under which they were orig- inally advertised, so the Occidental and Stanford Stakes for foals of 1904, which closed last January and June will be trotted under the old rule of best three heats in five. Anyone who saw the Occident Stake trotted at Sacramento this year will have to admit that the best and fastest colt won, even though there were six heats. Under the condition sending non-heat winners to the stable at the end of three heats, would have put this colt (North Star 2:13%, the best three year old that has appeared in Califor- nia in years) back to third position when the money was awarded. Princess Louise won the first heat and Bellemont the next two, North Star finishing in second position each heat after making disastrous breaks. He won the next three heats, however, and clearly established his title to the fastest and the gamest three year old trotter racing on the Pacific Coast this year. What influenced the directors of the society more than anything else to make this new condition, was their opinion that three year olds should not be asked to go such long drawn out con- tests as the Occident Stake has resulted in for the past two years. The rule has worked well with class races for aged horses ,and they saw no reason why it should not be applied to the three year olds as well. Their action is in accordance with the trend of harness racing reform all over the country, which seems to demand shorter racing than the old three - in-five plan furnishes, and which has resulted in many new plans and innovations being tried at many of the leading meetings. The next renewal of the Occident to be advertised will be for foals of 1904, to trot in 1907, and will close for entries on the first of January next. It will be governed by this new condition. ^ NEW CONDITION will govern all renewals of J Occident and Stanford Stakes that close after this te. This condition, which was made into a resolu- n and passed by the Board of Directors of the lifornia State Agricultural Society at a meeting Id in Sacramento last Saturday, provides that all rses not winning a heat in three shall be sent to e stable, but shall retain their positions in the mmary which they had at the close of the third at. This rule or condition has governed all har- ss races held at the State Fair for several years st, with the exception of the stake races, and BROTHER WESTGATE, editor of the Albany, Ore- gon, Herald, writes us as follows: "Noting your re- cent reference to the great New York show horse, Commander Baker by Alfonso 9700. it may be of in- terest that Commander Baker's dam is Antonia 2:36 by Electioneer, dam the great brood mare Columbine, Antonia being a full sister to Anteeo 2.16%, Ante- volo 2: 19*6, J- C. Simpson 2:18%, etc. Antonia was bred at Palo Alto and foaled in 1894 She was pur- chased by C. X. Larrabee of Brook Nook Ranch and is still among the Brook Nook matrons, having this year foaled a filly colt to The King Red 2:20%. Al- ondra, foaled at Brook Nook, was a full brother of Commander Baker and has now, I believe, a record of 2:20. Antonia foaled two other Alfonso colts, which, unfortunately, died. The blood combination of Elec- tioneer, Baron Wilkes. Alma Mater, Columbine, etc., surely ought to be richly productive, and it is inter- esting to note how it has been so in this case." And we will add that breeders who aim to produce stan- dard trotters of the show horse type are in our opinion on the right track to command the high prices of the future if they are successful. Brother Westgate's stallion Nocturno 2:26 will be a factor in producing this type if he is fortunate in getting the right class of mares. The fact that his get won first in their classes at the great Lewis and Clark show proves this, as he is a young horse and there are but very few of his progeny, none being over two years old. He is by Alfonso, and on his dam's side has several crosses to standard families renowned for their handsome con- formation. A TABLE of the winners on the Grand Circuit has been compiled by the Chicago Horseman, and is most interesting reading. It shows that 224 trotters started in the circuit from Detroit to Lexington, and only 140 won some part of the purse; in fact no less than 26 winning only $100 or less. Five won $10,000 or over, 13 won $5000 or over, 17 won $3000 or over, 60 won $1000 or over, and S3 won $500 or over, while 84 won no money. Of the pacers 203 started, and while 129 won money, no pacer won over $5000. Four won $4000 or over, 21 won $2000 or over, 42 won $1000 or over, 54 won $500 or over, and 74 did not win a penny. The totals show that 427 horses competed in the Grand Circuit races and 158 won no money. SEE THAT YOUR STALLION is represented in us many futurities as possible. Induce the men who breed to your horse to nominate their mares. The sires of futurity winners are always well patronized. The Breeders' $7000 Futurity for foals of mares bred this year will close December 1st. LEXINGTON BREAKS HER RECORD. (Horse Review, Oct. 17.) What may be termed the "regular" harness racing season closed at Lexington last Saturday when the thirty-third annual fall meeting of the Kentucky Trot- ting Horse Breeders' Association came to an end. The season could not well have been more fittingly finished; for the meeting was not alone the best ever held at Lexington — it was the best held this year at any track; and, taken "by and large," the best ever held anywhere, any year. There can be no dissent from this verdict when its results are surveyed and are compared with those of last year's meeting, which we then denominated the most successful ever held A complete statistical resume of the meeting will be found in another column. This discloses that it comprised 34 races, in which 119 heats were trotted and paced in the average time of 2:09 313-476. Last year there was one more race — 35 — but four less heats — 115. Still, n\e average time was not then so fast. For the 115 heats of 1904 it was but 2:10 55-115, or three-quarters $f a second slower. When it is considered that there were two days of bad weather last week, during which there could be no racing, the track also being rendered slow for the first day on which the program was resumed, this average is indeed most remarkable. The amount of purse money distributed was $69,400, which was slightly less than last year's total of $70,825. This was divided among 96 different horses. 55 trotters and 41 pacers. Last year the money-winning horses numbered 91, of which 55 were trotters and 36 pacers. Last year the trot- ters won $52,100, this year they won $50,700. Last year the pacers won $18,725, this year they won $18,700. The total of starters last year was 251, of which 162 were trotters and 89 pacers This year there were "242 starters, of which 137 were trotters and 105 pacers. The fastest heat raced this year by the trotters was in 2:05%, which was three-quarters of a second slower than last year's record of 2.04%. But this is offset by the gain of two and one-quarter seconds made by the pacers, their best heat this year being 2:02, as against 2:04% last. The product of new 2: 10 performers this year was no less than 10 — ten trotters and four pacers. This is a gain of four from last year, when there were four trotters and two pacers. In respect of the racing, it may be said that there was no trotting contest that equaled last year's ex- traordinary Transylvania duel between Sweet Marie and Tiverton. However, this was nearly counterbal- anced by this year's 2:06 trot in which the world's record for a four-heat race was not only beaten, but completely eclipsed. The old record was made at Columbus in 1903 in a race won by Dan T., in which the time of the heats was 2:06%, 2:07%, 2:0S%, 2:07%. The new record, made week before last at Lexington in the wonderful -race won by Norman B.. is 2:05%,' 2:05%. 2.06%, 2:07%— the average time being over a second faster. This year's three-year-old Kentucky Futurity was neither quite so sensational nor quite so fast as 1904's; but it is altogether likely that the two contenders in it. Miss Adbell 2:09%, and Susie N. 2:09%, are a greater pair of fillies than were last year's rivals, Grace Bond 2:09% and Alta Axworthy 2:10%. While the two-year-old Futurity record was not equaled, Lightsome's heat in 2:14% fell short of it by but a half second, while it lowered the season's record for the gait and age by two and one-quarter seconds. The race for the Walnut Hall Cup was by far the best ever trotted for that coveted trophy. The record for the event. 2:07%, made by Caspian in 1903, was equaled by the winner, Turley, in the first heat, and reduced to 2:07% by Glen wood M. in the second heat. The latter mile, also established a new race record for the season for trotting stallions. Among last year's pacing events there was nothing to compare with the magnificent race won by Lo- canda week before last, in which two heats were paced below 2:03, while the average for the three was 2 : 03 1-6. Locanda's second heat in 2.02 is also a pacing record for the year. In the Tennessee, the most valuable of the "fixed events" for pacers at Lexington, Maud Keswick, the winner, paced the sec- ond heat in 2:03%, which lowered the previous record for the event a half second — a notable performance when it is recalled that among former Tennessee win- ners have been such horses as Star Pointer 1:59%, Dan Patch 1:55%, Searchlight 2:03%. and John M. 2:02%. In the pacing Futurity Bonalet also lowered the record for the event and equaled the world's record for three-year-old fillies, 2:09%. The great, the truly historic performances of the meeting, however, were the phenbmenal exhibitions of Dan Patch, the pacing champion, who first equaled his world's light-harness record of 1 : 56 and then reduced it to 1:55% ; in addition to which he also . equaled the world's unpaced record of 1 : 59%. An- other splendid effort against time was that of Admiral Dewey, whose mile in 2.04% established a new trot- ting stallion record for the year and placed him third to Cresceus 2:02% and John A. McKerron 2:04% on the list of entire horses. From this brief enumeration of the most salient features only, the surpassing brilliance of the meeting, from a sporting standpoint, will be readily appreci- ated. Its success in other particulars was as great. The attendance record was broken. The pecuniary profits will, it is stated, be the largest in the associa- tion's history; and this despite the bad weather of the second week. Never before were there so many non-resident visitors to "Kentucky's greai tints.'- Practically every state in the Union was represented, and many of them by large delegations The assem- blage of the celebrated and notable men of the trot- ting world was one perhaps never before equaled at a race-meeting; and royally were they entertained, not merely by the royal sport provided them, but by that royal hospitality in whose dispensation the Ken- tucky breeders stand alone. ®hc iH-ccbeir n«5> gtpirtrtemau [October 28^ JOTTINGS. M 'I'll!-: BEST BRED STALLION living is undoubt- vned in nearly every locality where horses art S - months ago the turf papers devoted to horses were filled with articles containing tabulated pedigrees and arguments accompanying the same, to prove thai the particular colts or stallions thi best bred animals in the entire country, and in every article that we remember reading the author clearly ■ roved .to his own satisfaction that the colt ..i" hi.- choice was the best bred one that ever saw the light of day. To say that any horse is the red is ot" .nurse only a matter of individual cpinion ant each writer should, to keep peace in the family of hui-se breeders, prefix any statement as to i bred horse with "in my opinion." I am led to -ions by the receipt of a letter from far \ ■ Zealand, in which the writer Mr. R. Mc- Millan desires to know just why it was stated in these columns that the stallion Peralta, son of.Nut- Wilkes and the mare Rose MjcKinney by Mc- ivas the best bred stallion that had been sent from America to New Zealand. Mr. McMillan himself took from America to that place a few months ago the stallions Mauritius 36.257 and Harold Dillon 39610. Mauritius is by Bingen 2:0614 out of Roxana, dam or two in the list by King Wilkes, second dam Wavelet dam of four, by Belmont 64. third dam Waterwitch. dam of six. by Pilot. Jr. That's mighty rich breed- ing beyond a doubt, and we know lots of people who would select him as a better bred horse than Peralta. Mr. McMillan's other stallion, Harold Dillon, is a son of Sidney Dillon, sire of the world's champion trotter and out of Guycara by Guy Wilkes, next dam the mare Biseari, dam of six in the list, by Director, third dam Bicari dam of six standard per- formers, by Harold, fourth dam Belle, dam of one in the list, by Mambrino Chief. This will also be called royal breeding and many would select him as a better bred one than Peralta, while an endless de- bate could be started as to which of the two, Mauri- tius or Harold Dillon was the better bred. As I said before this "best bred" proposition is a matter of opinion. Now in my humble opinion there is not a belter bred stallion than Nutwood Wilkes, and I never saw one of his get that could, not go some. Nutwood Wilkes is by one of the best bred sons of George Wilkes and one that sired money winning race winners. Nutwood Wilkes himself has sired the fastest stallion of the whole Wilkes tribe— John A. McKerron 2:04%, and has had three three year old stake winners to trot below 2:14. So much for Peral- tos sire. His dam is by the great McKinney 2.11%, sire of more 2:15 trotters and 2:10 trotters than any stallion that ever lived, second dam by Forest Clay, third dam by Almont Lightning and fourth dam by imported Yorkshire, throughbred. Now in my state- ment of best breed I did not take into consideration the second, third and fourth dams except to know that they were of good breeding and by. sires that got speed, stamina and good looks. My opinion as to Peralta being the best bred stallion exported to New Zealand was because he is a representative of the Nut- i Wilkes-McKinney cross, which in my humble nt is just about the acme of breeding, although would prefer the McKinney cross on top. The cross has been tried both ways and invariably pro- duces speed of a high rate. Miss Georgie 2:10% pac- ing, and Lady Mowry 2:12V4 trotting both records his year are representations of the McKinney- Nutwood Wilkes cross, and Tidal Wave 2:09. record mis year is a representative of the reverse cross and there are a number of green ones I have seen who all -how that the blending of the blood of Nutwood Wilkes and McKinney is a great success— in fact such a success, that it has led me to the belief that it is II,, best breeding for the production of ' a very high rale of speea in the future. No doubt Mr. McMillan thinks both his stallions better bred than Peralta and lie ,an find lots of people here in California to agree with him. It is a question that would be impossible tie by argument as the disputants could never .,,, thi premise. All three of these stallions should produi - iee l of a high order, and as they will doubtless !»• well patronized in New Zealand, we shall u for time to tell which is the best bred oi the three. T. C. 2:30, and is I believe, one of his first to be trained. T. ('. is a son of Nutwood Willies, first'dam Zeta Carter by Director 2:17 and 'second dam Lida W. 2:18%. the dam of Nutwood Wilkes, by Nutwosra. The dam of this filly is Ingar. dam of .John, A. ..M.t'r Kerron 2.04%. by Director, consequently she has two crosses of Director blood and two of tida W". Mr. Carter tells an interesting story : about : this filly. When he had ten ■ or a dozen two yeaT-otds. put in training last spring, the trainer reported the T. t:'. filly had no trot in her.. She. had a short mincing gait that she would not or could not extend to any- thing worth while. Mr. Carter said that a: filly 'bred like this one would have 'to "show him" "she c«uid not. trot before he would, believe it. and. he concluded to train her himself. After driving her a few days and getting her balanced a little better, she struck out like a trotter one' morning when another cOft came up alongside her, and right then and there he concluded she was worth giving a chance.: He sent her to Fred Chadbourne at Pleasanton just four weeks ago and on Saturday last went up to see how- she was doing. Fred drove her one quarter in SS% seconds and another in 34% and she trotted "like one that had been at it for years. She never:, lifted her head, but went at it as; though it was a, matter of business that must be attented to right then and there. I never saw one that trotted more naturally or with more' ease. She has a business head on her and as one would expect from her breeding,' a race .horse way of going. Mr. Carter called my attention to her head, which is fine,, clean cut and very hand- some. 'When I concluded to mate Ingar with T. C," said he, '"I was satisfied the cross would be a good one in everyway except the head. T. G. Has a strong heavy head, and Ingar's head is also pretty large and not fine. I feared the foal resulting, from,-. mating these two would have a coarse and heavy head, but to my surprise when this filly arrived, she had one of the finest and most blood like heads of anything foaled on the farm that year." She is the first of the get of T. C. to.be trained and. will make. him a place in. the Great Table whenever she. is asked. There were, two of his get older than this Ally, one of which died, and the other was put to breeding last year.' the dull season of the year with oi trotting horses in this part of the State, us track at Pleasanton is a busy place. Nearly it not quit.- thirty trainers have strings of there, and the track, which is kept in superb Ion by siii.eiint.n Geo. A. Kelly, presents a lively appeari lay in the week. About iM'- 'M' stabled there. Fast miles hi rule Hi i hi ■ season, thi majoi iiy or the i " di thing faster than .I. re a number of youngsters re- in-t lessons and every once in a while . ' will trol ..r pace a quarter at a gait that the spectatoi open. Las) Saturday Fred i i a little two year old trotting qual ■ and the little miss ,im so ea in. ii holding a watch im- v. 1th thai "i hi- neighbor, thinking ii le h n mghl the quarter just right. Tli.;. iwever, thai the tin f the was not slower than 35 seconds, while some said 1 1 he i orrecl figure. This filly Is one .i i i i.i ..[ Nutwood Stock farm. owned by .Mi. Martin Carter, and that gentleman was present to see her trot. She is by the young stallion Lou Crellin's two-year-old filly by Owyhee 2:11 dam Bertha by Alcantara is also in Fred Chadbourne's string and the railbirds have a hard •. time . telling which of these two fillies Fred is driving. Mrr. Car- ter's filly and Mr. Crellin's filly are so much alike in appearance that they look like twins. . A star in the forehead of the T. C. filly is about the only distin- guishing mark that differentiates her fromcthe one by Owyhee. The picture of the latter on the front page of this issue gives some idea of ^ the classy, look of these fillies, and will answer lor ^ both. The Limit is the apt name given to Bertha's year- ling by Searchlight" 2:03%. The dam of Diablo in- variably produces a good-looking, strong foal, but The Limit is probably the largest and strongest any have ever been at the age. He is not. as fine as the. two year old. filly, by Owyhee, but he is a- colt and looks like a high class young., stud. He should be very popular as a stallion when he gets Wis growth. Any colt sired by a race horse' like Searchlight 2:.03i4 and out of a mare like Bertha, that, has produced, no less than three 2:10 performers, ought to receive the patronage of some of the best mares in the land. The Limit is now a good square trotter with speed for a yearling, but it Will not surprise anyone if he shifts to the pace and- beats 2: 10. as a three year old. Henry Helman who went East. with Mack Mack and Oregon Maid, returned this week and 'left Thursday for his home in Portland, Oregon. Mack Mack was shipped to Pleasanton with the DeRyder string and Helman will return in a few weeks and.. do his winter training at Pleasanton track. Mack Mack has fully recovered from his sprained ankle and is as good as ever He would have beaten 2:10 this year but for his accident which put the son of McKinney out of business for five weks. during which all of his best engagements lapsed. Oregon Maid that took a record of 2:08% in a winning race at Lexington is to be consigned to the Old Glory sale by her owner Mr. Richardson of Denver. While in Kentucky Mr,. Hel- man bought a yearling stallion for Mr. Bowies the owner of Mack Mack. The colt is a trotter, a fine looking bay and bred in the purple. He is by Baron Wilkes. Jr., 2:23% one of the very best bred sons of the great Baron Wilkes. Baron Wilkes. Jr:, is out of a great brood mare by Director,- second dam ,a great brood mare by Princeps 536. third. dara. another great brood mare by Volunteer, 55, fourth dam by Hambletonian 10, and fifth dam the Welling rhare by Shark, thoroughbred. The dam of Mr. Bowles colt is Susie May 2:18% by Dignus-, a son of Dicator. Helman has the reputation of being able, to pick out a good one and from the breeding of this fellow it is more than likely he has secured for Mr. Bowles a young stallion that will be one of the future great sires of this coast. Baron Wilkes blood is very scarce on this Coast and this colt will be watched by pro- gressive breeders. an i' Mr. Chas. A. Durfee is advertising every horse, mare, colt and filly that he owns for sale. The. ad- vertisement he placed in the Breeder and Sportsmr.r. the other day is not of a culled lot, but includes the whole bunch. Gal'ndo, the three-year-old stallion by McKinney out of Palo Alto's great brood mare Elsie by Gen. Eenton is among them.

Few gun clubs in the state have better hunti preserves than those in the possession of the Paja clubs. About 1500 ducks and 500 quail was the combin bag that marked the opening of the season in t vicinity of Pajaro. Members of the "Watsonville Rod and Gun CI visited their hunting preserves on Elkhorn sloi where nearly every hunter got the limit of ducks a had some excellent sport It only required a ft hours to get all the ducks that the law permits one day.

By RALPH H. TOZEB. 'hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ,Ve have had some "classy" winter race meetings California since 1S92. but the coming- ones at Oak- .d, Ingleside and Tanforan will totally eclipse those the past as did Eclipse the race horses of his era. rily, loking at the array of speedy turf performers, .ered in the $10,000 Burns Handicap, which brings ; all that is good in the racing line in this part of • world, one could easily imagine the racing was ng on at one of the metropolitan tracks of the far st. The list of owners new to "the land of gold" unparalleled in our racing annals, too, and some able names are to be found thereon — names that nd for much that is grand and noble in "the sport kings." First I will give our readers an idea of • treat that is in store for them, during the coming sion. Of the flyers of undoubted stake class I will ntion Proper, winner of several of the big handi- »s this season at the far East in the colors of dter Jennings; Graziallo, purchased by the latter itleman for something like $6,500 to race out this y; Dr. Leggo, the double Derby winner, and one of ■ very best three year olds ever raced in California, • most excellent judges; Claude, idol of our race »rs and in magnificant form, too; Garnett Fergu- i's Bear Catcher, the best three year old colt of 4 and just rounding to after going through the ng process; Lonis Ezell's W. R. Condon, the gal- t winner of this year's Burns Handicap and re- •ted to be in grand fettle after his long rest; Mili- y Man, a very fast, game and consistent performer; Dobson's Epicure, a proved performer that is •ught to have returned to the form that made him nous two years ago; Honiton, "Packy" Ryan's re, not "out of the money" in seventeen starts •e last season, also his San Nicolas, who ran a le in 1:39% at Kansas City; Horatius, a Derby and p winner; "Watercure, holder for a time of the rld's- record at a mile and a furlong; Haviland, win- r of some forty-seven races and a record breaker nself; Ishlana, a stake mare East and West; leres, a good second to Dr. Leggo on the three year colt list last spring; Memories (purchased lately Dr. J. Grant Lyman for $10,000 especially to win ; Burns handicap) ; Gregor K., who headed the ; of three year old race winners in 1903; Reserva n, a big stake-winner in 1903 and 1904 and a victor it Claude in a Derby; Good Cheer, a clever horse s^season and last; "Wexford, a fast and frequent iner around the Middle West this season; Brancas, ewer Gerst's splendid winner at Louisville and tonia recently and the top-weight horse in handl- es at those places; Collonade. which ran a mile ter than 1:40 as a three year old and was second Dice for the American Derby for a time; Bill Curtis, nner of the Los Angeles Derby of 1904; Down pat - k, a fast and game colt trained by Tom Ryan, who o has the Kansas City Derby winner True Wing; ufriere, a splendid "stayer" with a world of speed; d Leaf, a splendid two year old and a consistent ■ee year old now owned by J. O. Keene; Rightful. Capt. R. R. Rice's string, always a good 'un; Jim rl's old horse Bragg, a winner from Rhode Island California in good company" and victorious on me- politan courses quite recently; T. McLaughlin's i Air. when right a rare good one; Bombardier, a lifornia Derby winner; Elie, a nearly world-beater the longest races run these days; Sir WilfredC un- lbtedly the best two year old in California last sea- 0; Ed Sheridan, Dr. Gardner and Tom McGrath, ee stake youngsters from Barney Schreiber's farm; a Remo, a steady victor at Latonia last summer; izados, the speediest horse bred in California in ent years; W. Cahill's Andrew Mjack, a good horse ■e last spring, but recently out of form; the same ner's Voladay, purchased this week for the Cali- nia campaign and a very shifty preformer in any kind of mud or a slow track; Beau Ormonde, which has run his mile in 1:38; Geranuim". a mare that in the Clay colors this season around New York ran six furlongs better than 1:14. a mile and a sixteenth better than 1:46 and a mile and a furlong in 1:*52% with from 10$ to 110 pounds in the saddle always; Lady Savoy, one of the best two and three year olds in the Middle West in 1904 and 1905; Dalvay, a horse good for a mile in close to 1:39 when right; "Boots" DurneU's John W. Gates; Israelite, a speed marvel from the far East that can run over any sort of course, and his stable companion. New Mown Hay, a fleet mare; Oarsman, a horse trained by Frank Regan well known in this section and which this year ran seven furlongs in 1:26 1-5 with 120 pounds up, win- ning easily, besides running a mile and a sixteenth in 1:47 1-5. easily and a mile and three-sixteenths in 2:01 2-5 with 120 pounds on; then there is Hirmo trained by Charley Patterson and bred by Burns & Waterhouse, that is considered a three year old of stake class around New York, and which ran a mile in 1.39% and a mite and a furlong in 1:53% easily with 102 pounds up against an all-aged field; High Chancellor, always a stake horse when "on edge" and dangerous anywhere ; A. B. Cook, a speed marvel, which after a long retirement has rounded to and is expected to show his old time form, and Confederate, a two year Old colt with which Jennings thinks he will win the California Derby next spring. Then there might be mentioned Agnolo, Gateway. Bonnie Reg, Corn Blossom, Magrane, Cigar Lighter, Charla- tan, Scotch Thistle, A. Muskoday and Nigrette, horses of some class that might prove to be of stake caliber after all. * * * * Charles T. Henshall, after a long illness in New York, has returned to ''the game" and will bring to Emeryville a French-bred mare named Ginette. Mas- sada, Pronta and his horses well known out this wayi, Head Dance, Sir Brillar and Martinmas. Pronta is likely to prove a mare hard to beat, for the daughter of Falsetto can either sprint or stay and can negoti- ate any kind of course. At Union Park, St. Louis, in 1904, Pronta was the best performer on the list. » * * * Prominent turfmen new to the Coast sending out strings this year are James Arthur, Dr. J. Grant Ly- man, Frank Healy, Capt. R. R. Rice, Walter Gum and William Gerst, while there will be a return of most of the "old guard," Bob Smith being the lone excep- tion I can call to mind. A surprise is the splitting of his big string by "Boots" Durnell, one division racing in Los Angeles, the other here. H. T. Griffin and Frank Regan will do likewise, as will Barney Schrei- ber. Billy Oliver returns with Lord Badge and other bread-winners, as do L. A. Bonsack, C. M. Patterson. George Webb, George Dodge, James Curl. W. E. Cot- ton, Dayton & Co., Lamasney Bros.. J. D. Millin, M. D. Miller, L. H| Ezell. P. Ryan, T. H. Ryan. W. Cahill, John Schorr, F. Doss, C. C. MfcCafferty, F. E. Baird, Mike Daly, H. Robinson and P. Knebelkamp. There will be no dearth of riding talent this season. We will have "Big Bill" Knapp (second to no rider at the far East this season), L. Fountain, Johnny Daly, W. Dalys Uddie "Walsh, A. Minder, Schade (Schreiber's jockey), Aububhon, League, Frank Otis, T. Clark, Wright E. Robinson and last, not least, Radtke, who has taken the lead in races won in this, the very season he has ridden race horses. Late in th season we are likely to see Lucien Lyne, Tommy Burns and Jay Ransch taking a few stake mounts. Altogether, as said before, it will be the most inter- esting season of winter racing ever known on the Coast, viewed from any standpoint you like. * * - * * In keeping with the class of horses competing here, the New California Jockey Club has made a decided increase in the purses, having a $500 or $600 purse every day and $1,000 purses on Wednesdays and Saturdays, when stake races are not down for de- cision. This means a decided increase in the size of the purses. * * * * Realizing the many shortcomings of the scale of weights now in vogue in California, I have complied one that remedies the existing evils, especially among the two year olds in the last three months of the year and the horses going long journeys. : PROPOSED SCALE OF WEIGBT FOB AGE. f 2 years - !

September The above scale is based on the belief that veteri- narians are correct when they say a horse is fully matured in every respect at the age of fifty months. Previously the scale for two year olds In October. November and December was the same. In these days, when winter racing is in vogue, the use of the ancient scale would give two year olds running in the months of November and December a decided advant- age over older horses, and this has been taken into account in making the new scale and the matter remedied. After a horse has matured, why- should he not, from that time forth, carry his full weight at ah times— not more in October than in May, if he is fifty months old in May? In the old scales, too, the weight increased with the distance, when in my opin- ion just the reverse should be the case. The longer the journey the heavier the load fels to the carrier. Taking this view, it will be noted that there has been a cut made of four pounds in the weight carried by a; five year old between a race of a mile and a half and one of three miles. It will be noted that I make four year old in the month of May carry as much as at any time in his after career. I am assuming that a majority of the foals come into the world by March 1st, and by making May 1st (four years and two months later) the time when it shall carry the maxi- mum weight, this would be approximately correct. STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY MEETING. (Sacramento Union, Oct. 22.) - The directors of the State Agricultural Society met yesterday at the Pavilion for the purpose of passing the - financial statement of the recent fair. After transacting the necessary business the directors vis- ited" Governor Pardee at the Capitol and laid the statement before him. There were present Directors Burke, Fox, Howard, Johnston. Kingsbury, Land, Paine, Rose. Wilson, Whitaker and President Rush, with Albert Lindley, Secretary. The balance sheet is as follows: On hand in State Treasury $ 2.250.00 Receipts from all sources....' 40.504.21 $43,054.21 Expenditure $41,205 . 62 Actual balance in Treasury after all bills ?re paid $ 1,848.59 Action was taken and committees appointed to re- vise and reconstruct the premium list, both in rela- tion to the livestock department and the agricul- tural, horticultural and other departments where the exhibits are displayed in the Agricultural Pavilion. A committee of three was appointed to confer with the committee from the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Association and representatives from Fresno, Los Angeles, San Jose, Woodland. Stockton and other breeding centers, with a view of arranging a continuous circuit of fairs to finally conclude with the -State Fair. An effort will be made to get Mr. McLaren, super- intendent of the Golden Gate Park, and Professor G. W. Shaw of the agricultural department of the State University, to visit the Agricultural Park and deter- mine what grasses and trees would be best adapted to the soil and most suitable for the fair grounds A resolution was adopted which changes the con- ditions of all future Occident and Stanford stakes so that horses not winning a heat in three will be sent to the stable but retain their standing in the summary. The secretary was instructed to correspond with the various amateur athletic associations with a view to conducting athletic tournaments during the fair, where different counties will be represented in an inter-county contest, such as baseball, gun clubs and the like. Resolutions were adopted to revise the rules relat- ing to running races and arrange for stake races for thoroughbreds. The directors visited the governor's office in a body to report to him their financial condition and to get him. if possible, to give to them such portion of the $60,000 appropriation made by the last Legislature, of which the board had only used the sum of $28,500, as would be necessary to cover the deficit that was incurred in making improvements upon the new fair grounds, and a further sum sufficient to provide for the expenses of planting grasses, trees and painting, protecting and roofing all buildings that have already been constructed. The governor expressed himself as being pleased with the manner of conducting the af- fairs of the society this year, and with the State Fair itself. He signified that there were some things that he might have done a little differently himself, but as a whole he thought it was a very creditable show and reflected credit upon the board, and he thought it was a long step toward placing the affairs of the Agricultural Society of California on a basis where they would rank with the affairs of other states in the East.

For a Collie Show. There has been, for several years past, a strong predeliction on the part of many fanciers and ex- hibitors in favor of specialty shows. This project has been advocated often, but has never gone any further locally than the rumor that one or other of the specialty clubs intended to hold a show. The situation among the followers of kenneldom at present is far more propitious for a successful spe- cialty show than ever before and one little show will do more good now than five years' more talking; in fact the time is at hand where it is almost im- perative for one or the other of the specialty clubs to lead the way. A specialty one day show will, among other things, induce the organization of other spe- cialty clubs if not more kennel clubs. It is not abso- lutely necessary that a show of this kind be a big affair— not that we would not like to see a big entry — the main thing is to start the ball rolling. The following views of a well known and popular Collie fancier are applicable and worthy the serious consideration of the fancy. The writer says: "You will have to pardon another lengthy docu- ment from this part of dogdom for I have so little time to discuss schemes and I want your opinion at least before I give them up. "As you know, we have a spring show and a sum- mer show, all within four months. The other eight months we feel hard over past defeats and are eager for another chance. There ought to be this other chance, a loosening up about January, to my way of thinking. "I have no particular interest in January, except that by the middle of the month the holiday season is over and the Collies should be in good coat and the long stretch of 'nothing doing' would be broken. My idea is that the Collie Club should see its way clear to a specialty show. "We all raise puppies to show, but the opportuni- ties to show them are limited. There are one or two shows; we must go to them whether we like the judge or not — or else stay at home and miss a whole year. We may go, the decision is close, we loose, but there is no chance to try again and we feel sort of dis- gruntled for quite a while. "It seems to me that doggy affairs would run more smoothly and a more enthusiastic feeling would result if there were more shows and more judges. "A yearly Collie show would become a feature to be looked forward to. It does not matter if the show should be a very modest affair. Better a small show with a future than a big, unproductive splurge. "So my suggestion is for an afternoon and evening show in San Francisco — perhaps in one of the an- nexes to the Mechanics' Pavilion, with no benching, each exhibitor to handle his own dogs, with ribbons for prizes and a few modest specials. "Now of course, the expense account is to be reck- oned on a proposition like this. From our experi- ence we base the minimum costs at about $95, and the maximum at $145. "There were 59 Collies entered at San Mateo. A show in San Francisco should draw considerably more. We figure on a basis of 60 entries a net return of, at least, $122.50 (in various items not necessary to enumerate here). Now I really cannot see why such a show could not pay for itself, if the management tried to keep down every needless expense. "There is just one snag that I can see, and that is the judge. Still we must make the break sometime and I, for one, should not object to seeing an ama- teur do the judging. It would be, no doubt, as satis- factory as some professional judging we have had. "In the East, in certain breeds, some fanciers, and several of them who have not been in the breed for such a long time, have blossomed forth as judges. And why not here in Collies? "If we had enough shows, we could try out prom- ising material. In fact, this strikes me as being rather in the nature of our only salvation. We must be a bit independent or things will lose their lustre. "I heard recently of the sojourn in California of Mr. Rogers of Dundee, Mich., one of the oldest Collie breeders in America. He is to remain here for some time, I believe. I should think it would not be a difficult matter to have him judge a Collie show. In that rase, or should an amateur judge, the item of expense for judging would be cut out. "I'm sure there must be a half dozen good Collie men who could put this thing on. Make the break and next year have some one else to do the work. "There could be the usual classes, with veteran, etc., and a competition for tri-colors only, added to Induce entries. Inexpensive specials enough to make it interesting would be forthcoming from fanciers, in a spirit of encouragement, I'm sure. The American Fox Terrier Club members will compete for $2.00 cups; why can we not?" Quail Plentiful in Placer County. The foothills east of Lincoln fairly sw-armed with quail hunters on the opening day of the season, and several big bags of the swift flying denizens of the chaparral were brought in by the more expert sports- men. Last year the quail were extremely scarce in- this region; indeed, a hunter was considered exceed ingly fortunate if he could start up one bevy in day's travel. A number of reasons were assigned for this scarcity, but it is more than likely that the indiscriminate hunting during the close season had more to do with the absence of these birds than any thing else. During the last close season, however, there has been little complaint, and there has bei practically no hunting of any kind in the foothill! adjacent to and surrounding Lincoln. As a resui quail are much more plentiful this season, and if thi festive nimrod can find a locality not placarded wig the numerous "no shooting" signs, an abundance ofi sport is assured. These favored localities are scarce, however, as the owners of foothill lands have suf- fered so in the past from careless hunters that few places are open to the public for hunting. For thi: reason the hunting will necessarily be confined to comparatively small area, and in a short time th quail wrill be driven away or killed. - I ' I - ■- I [01 I yerl :..y Sacramentans Get Many Ducks. According: to Secramento sportsmen who were i: the marshes at sunrise at the opening* of the duel season, and who spent the Sabbath on the club pre' serves, the birds were never more plentiful than they are this year, and it is estimated that in the imme- diate vicinity of Sacramento thousands fell duririj the first few hours of the opening: day. In the Big- Lake country alone, L. S. Upson claims that 2000 is a conservative estimate of the number of ducks killed, and fourteen hunters who shot on the Glide ranch bagged 507 birds, two of the number getting: the limit, 50, and the others anywhere from a dozen to 4S. Those who bagged the limit were Judge Clauson o: Dixon and C. C. Carter of Sacramento, and J. R. Hughes was but two shy the 50. Lieutenant-Gover- nor Anderson came next with 45, Frank Newbert shot:' 40, and Charles Matthews and R. Flint each got thirty-six. Scores of hunters invaded the Bloom Lakes coun- try near Franklin, and Frank Johnson reports that not a man got less than 25 birds, and from that number up to 40 or more. Members of the Del Paso Club report the shooting was the best in years, and many of the members came close to the limit in the number of ducks killed. Judge J. W. Hughes and father, J. R. Hughes of Missouri, bagged 63 between them, and County As- sessor T. H. Berkey had exceptional luck. Dr. F. L. Atkinson of the Canvasback Club suc- ceeded in bringing down 46 as well, while all enjoyed excellent shooting. L. S. Upson and Bert Krull spent the opening day in the Big Lake country, and between them they got 92 birds. "We shot from the time the sun rose until about 9 o'clock," states Mr. Upson, "and all those in our vicinity stopped shooting before noon. That is the only thing to do. With the bombardment that takes place the birds become thoroughly frightened, and every true sportsman will cease shooting early in. order to give them time to recover from their fright and return. "I have been hunting a good many seasons in that vicinity and never have I seen the shooting so good. The number of hunters out the opening day waijfc unusual. There were scores in the Big Lake country alone, and I will venture to say that 2000 is a cons servative estimate of the number of birds killed." "From what I hear, quail shooting is also better than usual, and those who were out yesterday report the best of luck. One thing against the sport at present is the dry ground, on which the dogs can- not woi-k to the best advantage. After a good raiq. the sportsmen will begin to make records." In regard to Quail, the ranchers and farmers say that never were there so many birds in that section of the country. . icon [or rail . ileii tit i fell -' ■ ID I i Pajaro Valley Hunting Notes. While a' great many hunters went in quest of ducks, which are plentiful and fat, others turned their at- I tention to quail and visited the hills and wooded j lands near Pajaro. where they were well repaid for ; their trouble. Several hunters killed the limit by 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning and returned to town. | There are sufficient game birds in this vicinity this : season to furnish hunters with lively sport. Many; of those who did not get out the first day went the* following morning and made a splendid showing." From now on the birds will not be so tame and| the bags will be correspondingly lighter. The stringent game laws and the care taken by gun clubs to entice water fowl to visit that section each season, through a system of feeding, have proved Continued on Page 6, column 3 ■5 OCTOBER 28 1905, CUe gJrct'Ocr auo gjpartsmtm 11 THE SHEEP OUTLOOK. The general outlook for the sheep business is so flattering at the pres- ent time as to almost amount to ex- citement in sheep raising and sheep trading circles, says Twentieth Century Farmer. The effort to acquire flocks for future demands, which seems to impress alike both the novice and ex- perienced flock master, is a feature that promises an expansion in prices. Increased demand for wool invari- ibly creates excitement, and increase! prices for sheep is sure to follow. In addition to the demand and higher prices for wool there is a steadily growing demand in our markets for mutton. This demand is of a character that exerts an influence on the local grain markets and general feed supply. The sheep feeding business has de- veloped into an industry in the grain and hay districts, that is a recog- nized factor in trade, and to an ap- preciable degree directs and controls the production of crops in those dis- tricts. It has been clearly demonstrated [luring the last few months that the mutton demand in our home markets has passed the state of prejudice and that people now regard lamb and mut- iton among the choice food products These prices have been such as to stimulate the trade in choice mutton, and this is first noticed and appre- :iated by the professional sheep feeder, ind his demands for choice lambs and sheep for the feed yard soon reach the jsheep raiser, who discovers his inabil- ity to supply this demand. This lat- ter condition has been brought about by the demand from among the new recruits in flock enterprise who are making heavy draughts upon the es- tablished flocks for foundation stock to start on. It is also reported from the market enters that the demand for mutton is so strong as to take a quality of lambs and sheep that formerly found their way to the feeder division. This ab- sorption of the feeder classes of sheep tor immediate mutton supply means l shortening of finished mutton in the later feeding season, and when the feed yards are called upon to turn over their products. The sheep outlook in all its varied phases of breeding flock, feeder supply and finished mutton has not presented a more encouraging aspect for the K>wner and handler of the flock than now. las'j ,emt< ikfc POULTRY POINTERS. Poultry for market should be well fed on finely ground corn meal and mixed grains for two weeks before be- ing killed. It is claimed that cooked food is best for fattening poultry though some feeders claim the difference is too ilight to pay for the extra trouble. Kerosene oil applied to roosts, nests and cracks or crevices of poultry house alls which are infested with red lites will rid the premises of them. 'f they have been alowed the right of way until thoroughly established the 111 auildings will need to be gone over .horoughly and several gallons of oil ied.

Prevention is better than cure. Poultry in being fattened for market should not be confined to the fattening crates more than two weeks else they will suffer from the confinement and the feeder's object will be defeated. Skim milk mixed with ground grains is a good fattening ration. Yellow corn meal will have a tendency to produce the rich yellow skin that is so popular in our markets. Geese can be raised comparatively easy when they have a good grass pas- ture to range over, and when fed rather sparingly there will be very lit- tle danger of losses. They do not re- quire much care nor expensive houses. Their sleeping quarters should be kept clean and. dry. Protect them from storms and cold winds. Market ducks are usually confined to yards and fed liberally a variety of foods. They are great eaters, but they make a very rapid growth and are usually ready for market at from nine to twelve weeks of age, depending on the season. The early ones are usual- ly sold as soon as possible to capture the higb prices. "While no fowls excel the duckling in ability to wet himself from head to foot with a minute quantity of liquid, on the other hand, no fowl is more sensitive to dampness or is more quickly injured by it. AN INTERESTING CONTEST. Professor Olin of the Colorado agri- cultural college has made arrangements to distribute $2500 in gold among the boys and. girls on the farms in that state during the next two years through one of the most novel and interesting contests ever inaugurated in this coun- try, says an exchange. It is to be known as "The Patterson Seed Com- petition." having been named after Senator T. M. Patterson, who has agreed to provide the money for the prizes. The competition is open to every boy and girl in Colorado under 18 years of age, and continues for t'nreu years, with an annual award of prizes, and a general award at the end of three years. The contest is to see who can produce the best wheat, oavs. and barley by seed selections and improve- ment during the three years' trial, and each contestant is required to grow each year an acre of grain from which is selected 100 heads, to be judged in competition by experts at the college. There will be ten prizes of from $2 to $25 each awarded annually for each grain — fall wheat, spring wheat, oats and barley, forty prizes in all each year, and an additional forty prizes for the general competition at the end of the third year. FARMER SWINE NOTES. You can't keep pigs from squealing with an empty trough before them. Keep the pigs growing every minute if you expect them to be profitable. Young sows selected for breeding purposes should be put on good pasture — apart from those intended for salughter. Great care and attention should be given to the boar. He should have a pen for himself some distance from the sows, and sufficiently strong to keep him in. Half an acre of good clover fenced off adjoining his pen would be ideal provided it is at a sufficient dis- tance from the sow pasture. The practice of cooking grain for hogs has long since been discouraged as of doubtful economical value. The raw grain will give as good results without this expense. With vegetables, as pumpkins, squashes and potatoes it is quite different, for the feeding value as well as their palatability is improved by cooking. meal, before beginning to force them for eggs. The point is to fill them up with something bulky, and then when they begin to lay, add 5 per cent oi' beef scraps, and thus gradually work up, until in a week or two they are receiving 10 or 20 per cent. In order to have them do well water should be kept before ducks all the time, -o- Sponges. S. Adderley, 307 Market St. +€am^^ Registered U. S.

These are busy days at the Emeryville race track, id it is no exaggeration to say that one can see y of these pleasant mornings fully 100 railbirds ittering away over the workouts they have |iught." There are many strings of flyers ready race even at this moment. The talk of the track ^Callahan of the Nealon stable, Sir Wilfred of the limeron string and Rey Carlo, owned by the M. Fox gate. The Rice string looks very fit, and I was rich taken with the appearance of the chestnut horse Jjfhtful. The ancient W. B. Gates does not look Ifl if he had gone through the grueling necessary to in ninety-nine races-, and I doubt not that before Ss iron son of Prince Royal retires his score of (itories will considerably overtop the 100 of Logan | the 102 of Belisarius.

Warte Nicht. the little Wilkerson horse, is k.ving in a manner pleasing to his handler these \ys, and does not pull up as stiff and sore as of Starter Jake Holtman is back from the far Bast ti Latonia, and brinys news of an interesting char- ter. Among other things he said: "I have been ning to California for several years, but there are i .re new bookmakers, owners, trainers and jockeys jnd for the land of sunshine, gold and flowers this !Son than ever before. All the big stables that end to campaign out here purpose racing horses both tracks, and there will be constant shipments m Los Angeles to Oakland and Ingleside. Griffin, garola. Durnell. Schreiber, Williams, Holland and iers will operate a stable at both tracks, shipping -k and forth for stake engagements. The best ikeys will not all be here for the opening week. It Knapp, Shaw. W.

The latter has a band coming two-years-olds at the Bellemeade stock to in Tennessee, which will be shipped to Califor- i in the near future. Trainer Joyner told me that vis would leave for Oakland during the Aqueduct weting Griffin has not yet secured a jockey. Miller • 11 do the riding for the Angarola stable and Wiley • "Boots" Durnell. Marcus Cartwright informed me a Pesch and McCall would be out here to Book I him during the entire session. There is also a ince that Fred Cook will be out here. I think he s made a stake entry or two. He has had a rather astrous season, otherwise he would have sent out big stable." tfr. Holtman also brings the information that there II be 150 davs' racing next summer under the juris- ■tion of The Jockey Club at Buffalo, Providence, lem (N. H.), Syracuse, Albany and Baltimore. Holt- i did the starting at Providence, and says that attendance was gratifyingly large, and that the nociation made $20,000, instead of losing $25,000, i reported. * * * The Rancho del Paso sale which begins in New " rk City December 4th under the auspices of the )sig-Tipton Co., at 130-132 East Thirteenth street, ill be the most important one in the breeding annals l America Rancho del Paso was the most extensive . nblishment for the breeding of race horses in the hrld and this sale will comprise about thirty-five V.llions. native and imported, and fully 525 brood l ries will be disposed of, many of them purchased J England at heavy cost. The sale will be absolute, 1 3 the terms are: Purchases of $500 or less will be irti: those exceeding that amount will be given *'dit of twelve months, with interest and approved (iorsement. Among the celebrated horses to go lder the hammer are imported Canopus (by Sheen - • armian), Del Paso (by Darebin-Bavaria).

Maxim-Parthenia by Itrm), imp. Toddington (an excellent race horse- by [j'lton, Derby and St. Leger winner and sire of isonby, Best Man. Armington, etc., out of Minera, Galopin, winner of the Derby and sire of St non). Imp. Watercress (a very high-class race se and sire by Springfield-Wharfdale by Hermit) ' 1 Wax (a good winner by imp. Candlemas-Miss 10 Ransom by imp. Rayon d'Or). Of these sires Cano- pus. Glenheirn, Goldfinch, Maxio. Royal Flush, imp. Star Ruby, imp. Toddington and imp. Watercress will undoubtedly bring forth bids running into the thousands. Star Ruby will perhaps fetch the top price of the stallions, and deserves to, though there will be some lively bidding for Canopus. Goldfinch. Toddington and Watercress. Among the famous mares on the place that will elicit lively bidding are Arnette, Andrisa, Aura (by imp. Maxim-Aurelia), Bar- bary Maid (sister to Aurelia and Torso), Bellane, Braw Lass, Breeza, Brillar, Canta, Cloister, imp. Col- onial (by Trenton). Daniella, Darina, Electricity, Er- ratum, Fleurette (sister to Firenzi and dam of eight winners). Flora Hurst. Harmony II, Inquisitive, Kiss- ing Ring, L'Amazone, La Primera, Llane, Margerique (dam of Nasturtium). Pearl V. (by Salvator-Firenzi), imp. Queen Bess (dam of Old England, Kenil worth and three other winners), Rehan, Salverine, Salutaris. Santuzza, Sister Jeanie, Sweet (by Hanover), Suspi- cion, Sycophant, Tessa, The Shrew, Vanish, Vernette, Vineyard, Wi-ne-ma and Witchery. These would be my pick of the younger mares, and the very old ones, even with big stud reputations, I should not think would be taken across the continent. I would pick imp. Star Ruby for a stallion for many reasons, the first being that he was a first-class "stayer" and bred just to suit me — having an uninterrupted chain of success clear to Eclipse on the sire's side, as follows: Hampton, Lord CI if den, Newminster, Touchstone, Camel, Whalebone, Waxy, Pot-8-os, Eclipse — while on the dam's side there is Ornament (dam of the great Sceptre), Lily Agnes (dam of the unbeaten Ormonde), Polly Agnes, Miss Agnes. Agnes, Annette, The Poten- tate's dam and Moll in the Wad — eight famous pro- ducers, or, on both sides, seventeen generations of success. Of the mares, Annette. Fleurette. Inquisitive and Pearl V. would work-out best on the lines spoken of above, and clearly "figure" to prove great pro- ducers. * * * Jack Atkin is back from Latonia after having a most successful seasons booking at Louisville and Latonia for Barney Schreiber. He is something like $40,000 winner — this in a few weeks. He will cut in at Emeryville and afterward probably confine his operations to Ascot Park. Los Angeles. * * * W O'B. Macdonough. ever successful as a breeder, has been unusually so this season, no less than four cracking good two-year-olds having come from his farm, viz: Ormondale, George C. Bennett. Sir Wilfred and Roman Gold. All have the Ormonde blood in their veins, Ormondale being by "the horse of the century" himself, George C. Bennett by Orsini (son of Ormonde), Sir Wilfred by Ossary (another son of the celebrity) . and Roman Gold's dam by Ormonde. Mr. Macdonough is to sell ten head of yearlings at Chase's salesyard on the night of November 2Sth. and eight of the ten have the blood that is "on top" in France to-day and close to it in America — Ormonde oi Bend Or. The "fad" in England these days is the St. Simon-Bend Or cross, and many of the most celebrated horses of the land of John Bull in recent years were bred with a view to making this "happy n'ek." A number of these Macdonough youngsters are by St. Avonicus and out of Ormonde mare3. Pre- vious to this the craze was for the St. Simon-Musket cross-, Memoir and La Fleche being the best exponents of this "fad " The probalities' are that any of these would prove successful, provided the animals mated were themselves great "stayers" — in short, splendid "individuals" with large hearts and lungs and sound limbs — not those ruined by racing while the horse was in the "vealy stage." I do not believe that just be- cause a horse happens to be by St. Simon or one of his sons and out of a Musket, Bend Or or Ormonde mare he is almost certain to prove a high class racer or sire. His sire and dam must have the "individ- uality"— the conformation and the race horse qualities of a high order — before one can look for the most pleasing results. If you have the good looks, the soundness and the heart and lung development neces- sary for racing at the longer distances in both sire and dam, along with the breeding, then you are not likely to make any mistake in your stock operations. * * * Trainer Thomas Cook arrived at Emeryville last Tuesday night with eighteen of the E. J. Baldwin (Santa Anita) horses, including Americano and Cru- zados. This reminds me that "Lucky" has great need of a couple of good stallions, if he is to continue in the breeding game, and I would be delighted if he would buy Star Ruby and Maxio or imp. Watercress to take the place of the revered Grinstead and Ruth- erford. When they were alive Santa Anita was first in California among the stock farms, but of late noth- ing very good has been bred on the famous rancho, though he has many a good mare on the place. $ . * * T, T. Rector, reported as dying at Hot Springs last winter in all the "horse papers" of the Middle West, is very much alive and well. I grasped the ghost's hand at Emeryville trade last Tuesday, and he re- turned the grip very unlike a graveyard sojourner. WOODWARD-THOMPSON NUPTIALS. The many friends of James Thompson, of Pleasan- ton, will read the following from the last issue of the American Sportsman with great interest. "The wedding bells rang their own sweet song when James Thompson, the well known and popular Cali- fornia horseman led to the marriage altar Florence — the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Woodward, at th-'ir residence, 224 Welles- ley street, East Cleveland, Tuesday afternoon, October 24. It was a quiet wedding — so quiet indeed that Mr. Thompson's more intimate friends did not know of his intention to enter the matrimonial race. The bride is one of the most popular young ladies of East Cleveland, while the groom is known to horsemen everywhere, among whom he Is justly popular. The marriage is understood to be the happy culmination of a summer's courtship, and was entirely a love affair. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson left Tuesday night for Pleasanton, Cal., where they will spend the winter. It would have been the delight of Mr. Thompson's Cleveland friends to have given him and his wife a rception in keeping with what the occasion demanded, but the quiet way in which they were married and their, early departure for the West prevented this. His many friends hereby extend their best wishes and congratulations." The Breeder and Sportsman extends to Mr. Thomp- son and his bride best wishes for a long life of con- nubial bliss.

Kelly last year, was beaten at Peoria, Illi- nois, on Saturday, the 14th of October, by Manager H-. who paced a heat in 2:20 flat. Manager H. was bred by Mr. A. G. F. Stice, who is well known to Califor- nians, as he resided a year or two in Los Angeles and campaigned several horses on our circuit here in 1900 Mr. Stice returned to Illinois the following year and purchased the pacing stallion Manager 2.06%. Nutwood's fastest performer, to head a stock farm which he has established at Bookfield, Mo. Manager M. is by Manager out of Nelly M. 2:10*4, by Butler's Bashaw 2:28*4, consequently is bred for a fast one. Manager was himself a champion, having lowered the world's record to 2:16% as a two year old and to 2:11% as a three year old. both records being made to a high -wheel sulky. The many friends of Mr. Stice in California will read with pleasure the news that he has bred a champion, and "will hope that he will breed many more. Every one knows that the trotting record with pace- maker in front is 1:58%, made by Lou Dillon, but there is some uncertainty as to the record made with runner alongside. Several persons have asked what this record was, says an exchange, and thinking there may be others who seem uncertain as to this style of going, we would say that it is 2:01, also made by Lou Dillon. This was last year at Memphis. Major Del- mar, also at Memphis, trotted in 2:01*4, which was the record when made, and which is now the best for a gelding, while the mile in 2:04%, by Cresceus, is the stallion record.

No doubt the sun doesn't shine today as it did then; perhaps the quiet place would be hard to find; per- haps those eyes have closed in eternal sleep, that hand may have vanished and be cold; that voice may be stilled in death; but the memory of that day, and place, and that old sweetheart is planted in your heart forever.

"That the race meet of last week was a success is the gratifying report of the Tuba and Sutter Driving Club, by whom it was managed," says the Marysville Democrat. "The programs were excellent each day. On this the public is the judge, and the verdict of all who witnessed the different events of the three days is unanimous. There were three days of excellent sport. The meet was a success from a financial stand- point because the balance is on the right side of the ledger — and this was not expected to be the case. The members of the club fully expected to be compelled to make good a deficiency, for there wrere many un- favorable conditions to be met. "In purses the sum of $S10 was paid out. As most of the horses on the track belonged here nearly all the money remained here, although some good purses wrere won by outside horses. A less number of outside horses entered than were expected, but another meet will see many of them brought here. "All of the decisions on the track were approved and there was no wrangling or objection on the part of owners or the public. The entire meet was well managed in every particular."

It is doubtful if ever there was a time when so many people were in the market for trotting or pacing stallions as is the case at the present time— and there are buyer for all classes. Some want renowned suc- cessful speed sires; some want fairly young stallions which have raced successfully and have fairly low records; some want three to five-year-olds which are well bred and have speed— but no records; others want two and three-year-olds with sufficient breed- ing for use in the stud lightly, and stiil others want high bred weanlings or yearlings to "bring along" their own way for future use in the stud, or on the track. Indeed, as a prominent combination sale man- ager said to us the other day, there never before was anything like it: why we have inquiries for every- thing in the stud line, from a $60 weanling to a no- limit priced champion speed sire. And why should not people want stallions? Horses are scarce and high priced in the country; they are scarce and high priced in the markets; there is nothing else the aver- age farmer can produce which is so profitable to him: thp number of horses needed, in both country and In the cities, increases with the increase of population, wealth and industries, and with the constantly in- creasing export trade it does not seem likely that this country will ever again, in good times or bad, be able to produce a surplus of horses.— Western Horseman. The expected happened at Kansas City last week. As entries overran all previous bounds, so attendance and enthusiasm exceeded all former records for the horse shown in Convention Hall. As respects people and interest, not to say enthusiasm, the horse show at the city by the Kaw's mouth is perhaps entitled to the palm. We have heretofore dwelt on this point, and succeeding years add force to the comment. It was believed, and rightly, that the support accorded this exhibition by residents of Kansas City and its suburbs was of notable character, but not even the fondest imaginings of its promoters had attained the heights realized at. the exhibition just closed. Entries by far exceeded all former displays and the character of the horses was of a class to command outspoken admiration. Entries were contributed by exhibitors that owned residence at such geographical extremes as New York and Denver, and the presence of the Eastern horses added much drawing power as well as real strength to the arena. The championship of the show fell to Reginald Vanderbilt on his Kentucky-bred Dr. Selwonk, an upheaded and very flash horse in his forward action, that has been one of the most attractive public favor- ites seen at our shows in recent years. Mr. Busch's gray mare Odette was the runner up for this honor — a very shapely and substantial sort for heavy leather. Among the walk-trot saddle horses the Balls carried off championship honors with Morning Glory. Miss Belle Beach of New York was kind enough to award the prizes on the equestrian classes for little girls, and discovered, as have some other judges at this show, that when it comes to the local riding classes there is a disposition on the part of the audience to judge more from personal favor than from the performance. Miss Beach, than whom there is no more competent authority, was not able to follow the popular favor, which ran toward a little girl with a very incorrect seat in the side saddle, and sent the honors to a girl who rode astride so cleverly as to entitle her to the blue ribbon, according to the ac- cepted standards of equestrianism. Judging by the crowds at some of the performances it will be desirable to enlarge the capacity of Con- vention Hall, if this show makes further growth, or at least to enlarge the promenade between the boxes and the arena rail. Passage along this promenade was well-nigh impossible at several performances. The show closed in a blaze of glory, and set a high mark for succeeding exhibitions to shoot at — Breed- ers' Gazette. OF VALUE TO HORSEMEN. Do you turn your horses out for the winter? If so. we want to call your attention to a very important matter. Horses which have been used steadily at work, either on the farm or road, have quite likely had some strains whereby lameness or enlargements have been caused. Or perhaps new life is needed to be infused into their legs. Gombault's Caustic Balsam applied as per directions, just as you are turning the horse out, will be of great benefit; and this is the time when it can be used very sucessfully. One great advantage in using this remedy is that after it is ap- plied it needs no care or attention, but does its work well and at a time when the horse is having a rest. Of course it can be used with equal success white horses are in the stable, but many people in turning their horses out would use Caustic Balsam if they were reminded of it, and this article is given as a reminder. Work on the new athletic grounds and speedway in Golden Gate Park is progressing satisfactorily. The grading of the turn at the west end of the track is practically completed and gives an idea of how the grounds will appear when all the work is finished. The infield where the polo grounds and football fields are to be located is also leveled to grade and is be- ing covered with loam, on which grass will be sown. The entire grading will probably not be finished before the first of next May, but when the work is completed Golden Gate Park will have the finest athletic grounds and speedway in the world. A well staked filly by Stam B. 2:11*4 out of a McKinney mare is offered for sale in this issue. She is a foal of 1904, of good size and a trotter. . She is entered in the Breeders' $7000 Futurity, the Occi- dental and Stanford Stakes, and the Kentucky $20,000 Futurity. The owner desires to sell to some one who will train and race this filly.

Biological Sur- vey. rks and quail are reported to be plentiful nearly in (Continued from last week.) General Habits of the Bobwhite,. The habits of bobwhite, like those of many other birds, vary considerably, and the following, observed by E. W. Nelson, is a case in point. In 1ST5 the Wa- bash bottoms near Mount Carmel, 111., were covered with a magnificent forest, quite tropical in the size and luxuriant growth of trees and other vegetation. Scattered here and there through the forests were small clearings planted to corn. Bobwhites were found about all these clearings, and the males were commonly heard calling from the tops of the tall trees in the edge of the bordering forest, and en more than cne occasion were stalked and shot in the midst of the woods from the tree tops, more than 100 feet from the ground. When flushed in the cornfields, the coveys dashed away into the forest where they took refuge in the tree tops, thence sending forth their rallying call notes. There apepars to be a tendency among bobwhites, at least in some regions, to a local migration. In cer- tain sections, as in Virginia and Maryland, they com- monly leave their summer homes on the approach of winter and congregate near the larger watercourses. In an old number of the American Sportsman Lewis refers to this fall movement, and says: "At this per- iod the birds are said to be runing or traveling, and will not lie to a dog; and to pursue is lost time, as it will be found utterly impossible to keep up with them, no matter with'what speed you attempt it." The habits of the bobwhite during the hunting sea- son are well known. The birds move about most actively and feed in the early morning and late af- ternoon. The best shooting is to be had the hour before sunset, in the places where the birds have de- cided to spend the night. They roost on the ground, forming a solid ring with tails in and heads out. In Virginia and Maryland the roosting places are almost never in the woods, though in Mecklenburg county, Va., the writer has found them in the grassy, briery little clearings among pine woods. At Marshall Hall the birds were found roosting in the edges of wood- land, orchards, patches of ragweed in wheat stubble, cornfields, truck plats, broomsedge, dewberry and blackberry tangles, pastures and fence corners. In Massachusteets Edward A. Preble found no roosts in the open fields, but found them among scrub oaks and in tall pine forests. Bobwhites habitually use a roost- ing ground again and again. A covey of a dozen, found the middle of November, 1899, at Marshall Hall, resorted to a corner of a peach orchard for eight con- secutive nights, and during December^ 1902, a covey of fifteen on the Roanoke River bottom used a narrow- strip of cockleburr. ragweed and smartweed for ten consecutive nights. It is interesting to note that, al- though quail seek the woods for shelter from enemies during the day, they generally regard the open as safer at night. It is the general opinion that with the oncoming of winter the bobwhite is found less often in the open fields, w:here withered herbaceous plants afford but scant protection from enemies, than in dense bush> briery coverts and woods. In Maryland and Virginia the scattered and depleted coveys after the shooting season evidently unite into large bevies. Their favorite resort in severe weather is a bank with southern exposure and suitable food supply. At Marshall Hall during one of the heaviest snowfalls of the season, when the Potomac was frozen over and the thermometer near zero, a covey was al- ways to be found on the southeast side of a steep bank bordering a large swamp. Here the birds found food and warmth, for the rays of the sun fell on this slope so directly that even when the snow elsewhere lay from three to six inches deep it was here melted or remained only in patches. It was noticeable that when snow was on the ground the birds ventured only a few rods from cover, a fact that apparently indi- cated their appreciation of danger from the numerous hawks and foxes. At Kinsale, Va., the writer found bobwhites crossing open fields when there was an inch or two of snow, though for the most part they kept close to cover. In April and May the birds again ven- ture out into the open, and they breed when vegeta- tion is sufficiently grown to conceal the nests. At Marshall Hall little oval pits in dry soil, in which quail had been dusting, were found in various situa- tions, usually under cover of weeds and bushes about the fields. Dusting is a part of the toilet of all gal- linaceous and many other birds, and may also be a protection against vermin. Bobwhite as an Ally of the Farmer. In summing up the relations of the bobwhite to agriculture it will be well to emphasize certain facts developed by our investigation of its food habits. In the first place, careful observations at Marshall Hall, where the acreage under cultivation is large and the bobwhite abundant, and less extended investigations elsewhere afford no evidence that the species does ap preclable injury to crops of grain or fruit, its habit of destroying weed seeds nomic Importance. For instance. Further, of much eco- it is reasonable to assume that in the States of Virginia and North olina. from Sept. 1 to April 30. the season whe largest proportion of weed seed is consumed by there are four bobwhites to each square mile of or 354,820 in the two States. The crop of eact holds half an ounce of seeds and is filled twice i Since at each of the two daily meals weed seeds: stitute at least half the contents of the crop, quarter of an ounce, a half ounce daily is consum each bird. On this basis the total consumpti weed seeds by bobwhite from September 1 to Aj in Virginia and North Carolina amounts to l,341i It is to be remembered also if it were not for hawks and trespassing pot hunters the birds wot more abundant and their services corresponc greater. Insetcs form about one-third of the} white's diet from June 1 to August 31; and tion similar to the one employed above shows ti tons of insects are destroyed during this perio Among the insects consumed by the bird are very harmful pests as the Rockj^ Mountain locus chinch bug. the Colorado potato beetle, the Me cotton boll weevil, cutworms, the two cotton w and the army worm. The highly insectivorous c cause a proportionally greater distruction of ii than the adult birds. Further, while many othei ful birds confine themselves to the woodland or sv or merely scout along waterways, hedges and rows, the bobwhite feeds directly among field In the South it is found in cotton fields; in the it delights in the ragweed-grown wheat stubbl the West its favorite feeding ground is cornfield! it often spends the night there instead of flyt cover, as do most birds. The facility with whi passes from field to field, either on foot or oj wing, distributes its services to an unusual deg Bobwhite as an Asset of the Farm. Every land owner should realize the value o bobwhite, and should demand from sportsmen i price for the birds killed on his property. With p management some farms of from 500 to 1,000 would probably yield a better revenue from bobv than from poultry. Many farms in North Cai derive a regular income from this source. This i tained by leasing the shooting right to wealthy si men, who, in localities where birds are abundant, ingly pay considerable sums for the privilege, is probably the most profitable use to which ct poor lands in the South can be put. In some in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina the si man often pays the landowner from five to tw five cents for every bird shot. In other place farmer or his boy is hired as guide to locate the In addition the sportsman pays liberally for his ' and otherwise adds to the farmer's income. ~\ awake farmers appreciate the fact that the ge sportsman pays well for his sport and should criminate between him and the market hunter. lions of dollars can be realized by the proper mai ment of the quail crop of the United States. time is perhaps not far distant when land owner: protect their game birds from foxes, injurious h and human poachers as diligently as they no their poultry. The .sooner the farmer realize! value of the bobwhite and the fact that the in hunter is a bird exterminator, profiting at the owner's expense, the better will be his chance income from his crop of quail. Bobwhite as Article of Food. Perhaps no game is more generally known and than quail. The flesh of the bobwhite is juicy, te delicately flavored, easily digested and nutritiou is well adapted to the needs of invalids. To the mer's table, where fresh meat is often not obtaii this bird furnishes a welcome supply. No game much sought for in market, and countless nur are sold every year. The writer knows of a i dealer in Washington who in 1902 sold 100,000 Yet the supply is far short of the demand, an price is constantly rising. In connection witr present price, which is $3 to $5 a dozen, it is int€ ing to recall Audubon's statement that in 1810 birds could be bought for twelve cents a dozen, a 1S31 for fifty cents. Then they were on the tabl rich and poor alike. Bobwhite as an Object of Sport. Edwyn Sandys says of the bobwhite. "He tri the king of his race; and not alone that, for, opinion of hosts of enthusiastic sportsmen, he i best bird that flies." The well known author, Van Dyke, says; "Dear little bobwhite has br< more rest to the business-wearied soul, more ne^ to tired humanity than nearly all other Ame game combined." The pursuit of many kind of is possible only in distant wilderness, where tra\ is difficult and the exposure incident to the spoi be dangerous to health; but the pursuit of t! white belongs to open, accessible country, ani too severe for men accustomed to sedentary lis thousands of such men quail hunting is the y means of restoration, and results in a direct bene the community, though one not readily compul" money value. At the conservative estimate, bet 300.000 and 400,000 sportsmen go out from cities fall to hunt bobwhite. which means a large exp ture cf money, much of which goes to farmers hold shooting land. Such revenue is timely, f comes when farm work yields small returns and ploymeitf is welcome. Where non-resident lie are required, with fee of from $5 to $25 the Stat* derives a direct income from the sport. The bobwhite deservedly stands at the American game birds, because it lies so well | dog. and when flushed springs from the earth lil arrow, demanding a quick eye and a trained toui <* the trigger to bring it to bag. When, at the adi of the rfunter, the covey explodes like a boml" skill is sharply tested if he would bring one o whirring, meteor-like projectiles to the ground.

Good auti say that when they alight they remain quiet and compress their feathers to the body, with the resull of witholding the scent. Many sportsmen, therefor' before hunting a scattered covey, give them i run about and leave scent. Paradoxical as it may seem, sportsmen extert a powerful influence for the protection of bobwhit Many individuals and clubs own or lease large tracts, where they maintain the birds and shoot only the surplus. These enthusiasts assist in the enforcement of game laws, restock depleted coveys, and provide food for the birds in times of scarcity. Certain clubs are organized for the purpose of holding field trials. the object of which is to test the ability of competing dogs to find and point birds. As retrieving is not re- quired, the birds are not shot. One of the best known patrons of field trials recently told the writer that he had not killed a bobwhite in ten years. A number o clubs control each a preserve of from 3,000 to 20,000 - acres, on which no shooting is allowed — or, if 1 mitted, is carefully regulated— and suitable measures are taken for protecting birds and facilitating their propagation. These trials are held in a score or more of States, and in some of the larger contests more than a hundred dogs are entered. Some owners of Held trial dogs have preserves of their own, stocked with hundreds of pairs of bobwhites. Thousands of live birds for the above purposes are in demand at _iigh prices. If the bobwhite could be domesticated and reared in captivity for sale, the enterprise would doubtless be very profitable. From these facts it is evident that the sport of hunting bobwhite con- ' tributes to the health and. happiness of thousands of nen. and that in various ways it can be made to add to the prosperity of farmers and others interested. (To be Continued.) GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. A New Phase of the Game Law. Charles Flanders, who complains that sixteen hunt- ers entered his hunting preserve over the American river last Sunday, broke down his fences and shot ducks over the preserve, will not have the offenders arrested, says the Sacramento Union. He knows who the intruders were, and Constable Mike Judge stood ready to pounce down upon them. But Attorney P. S Driver advises Mr. Flanders that he would probably have his trouble for his pains. Mr. Driver finds that a preserve or tract which may • be trespassed upon must have three sides inclosed to the mile; that under the statute a trespass is not committed except the entry is made for some one purpose set out by the statute, and that none of these purposes were evidenced by the acts of the shooters. Finally he holds the ducks shot were not the property of Mr. Flanders, though flying over his preserve — in short, that the conditions will not sustain a charge of trespass under the statute, which abrogates the common law- rule regarding that offense. In the Citrus Belt. Last 'Sunday was another gunfest among the Los Angeles sportsmen. Just enough clouds overhead to make good shooting and the season is yet young enough to keep the birds from being gun shy. Down at the Ballona Club grounds limit bags were reached, while the Recreation Club reports good re- sults. The most important thing which the day's meet brought out was the general tendency on the part of the club men to cut down the limit of the bags in order to preserve the shooting. Members of the Ballona and Santa Monica clubs have considered the advisability of making the limit as low as twenty- five. w-:th a closed preserve six days of the week. The reason that this step is being agitated by the clubmen is because of the known lessening supply of wild fowl along the coast. With the draining of the marshes and the build- ing up of this section of the country the hunting is bound to go. unless the English method is resorted to. At the Ballona Club, for instance, there is now one mallard hole where there used to be four, and in the Santa Ana marshes snipe have practically disap- peared. There was a time when a professional hunter could bag a hundred dozen each season, but now it is doubtful whether he would get one dozen, unless he happened to be a particularly good shot. Widgeon are coming in all along the coast, while teal and spoonbills form good bags In the quail district at San Bernardino. Saugi way stations limit bags were reported in only a few- instances Sunday, tl may be that the man who made the limit made more and is afraid to say anything about it. With the followers of the rod and reel a prosper- ous week has just closed. San Pedro has been the ' .necca for all pilgrimages, for croaker of the big. nigger and biggest variety have invaded the harbor. Slotterbeck reports a record-breaking catch from the wharf, while out on the breakwater ba sheephead are running. At Catalina the launches have been running into the harbor at Avalon flying the tuna flag, but no record-breaking fish are reported as landed. Hermosa beach has reported good sport in surf and yellow-fin, but few fishermen care to venture into pas- tures new so long as Grandpa Croaker is at San Pedro.

The exodus of sportsmen to the gulches, the marshes and mountains from San Jose since the opening of the duck season has been phenomenal. It would seem as if every man who loves the sport or is ad- dicted to it has gone forth fully fledged for the con- quest. The fever has overtaken tiie city denizen, he whose business holds him gripped like a vise, in urban haunts and dines in restaurants Duck is or- dered by 50 per cent of the guests, but the supply is not equal to the demand. The importunity was so severe and fervent that what passed for clucks, but which were really "mud liens." were served to a num- ber of leading citizens a few days ago. Incidentally it may be said that the host was a San Jose real estate dealer who prides himself on his ability and agility as a hunter. For the various sportsmen of the garden city and the surroundings the season bails fair to he a most favorable one. Scores of San Joseans are now in the vicinity of Warm Springs, Alviso, Alvarado, Mount Eden and the draw-bridge. All are having the best of luck, according to the reports received. Quail are like- wise plentiful. Those who went out last Sunday and the results of their trips as reported are as follows: Z. O. Field, 25 quail: Frank Hudner, John Hudner and party, 10S quail; Chauncey Saunders, S mallard: Charles Thomson. 11 quail: Bart Lorigan and H. French, 3S ducks; Frank and Fred Garrison, 35 quail; E.

He did not re- turn over delighted. He is qf the opinion that the best of the hunting season has yet to come. J. H. Asselin and Charles Christopher hunted quail near San Juan on the opening day and both got the limit of 25 birds. Dr. A. M. Barker reports great enthusiasm amongst duck and quail hunters, but the most successful part of the season is in the future. Very few birds have come down from the north yet. When the cold weather sets in there and freezes up the feed then the birds will migrate to our marshes and hunters will have a more encouraging story to relate. A Hunting Casualty. We regret to note the passing away of a well- known sportsman last Sunday under peculiarly dis- tressing circumstances. O. H. P. Sheets, a popular traveling representative of the Pacific Hardware and Steel Company, was stricken with heart failure whilst duck shooting with a number of other mem- bers of the Empire Gun Club on the Elkhorn slough preserve Mr. Sheets and Con Roman were shooting from nearby blinds on one of the ponds the morn- ing. There was a good flight and both sportsmen were enjoying the shooting. Roman suddenly noticed that his companion's gun was silent. Watching in the direction of Sheets' l.lin I for a few moments he .-. . at birds were repeatedly coming within shooting distance, but were unmolested. Surmising that all was not right, he hastily made his way to Sheets' blind and found the latter lying back almost unconscious in the tules. Sheets was partially revived ami then conveyed to the club house, where he finally i,ed late in tiie afternoon. Halibut Fishing. With the coming on of winter, halibut are waxing fat, and taking livelier interest in the more or less savory allurements of the piscatorial experts who fre- quent the longer wharves al Eedondo, Newport, Port Los Angeles. Playa del Rey and others of the western beach resorts where his slab-sided majesty flourishes in all his voracity ami unglorious ugliness of form and feature. Prosaic to the limit, far more certain in his fighting than in his biting — for, whatever else may be said to the discredit of the halibut, he is always game enough to take a chance — there is a certain amount of rough and tumble sport to be had in this prospect- ing- the bottom with a live smelt or deceased sardine carefully impaled, and the pursuit of "Old Slab- sides" is one of the most popular diversions, says the Los Angeles Times, of the rod and reel, and hand- line contingents that go out of Los Angeles Sundays and occasionally in the week, on pleasure bent, with fish as an objective. Probably no branch of the sinker-shier's art tends more surely to develop patience than the pursuit of the halibut. In some respects he is even more vexa- tious than the croaker, which has long been a sort of standiing mark to swear by for general "cussed- ness" among fishermen. There are times and tides, which, taken at the flood, lead on to success swift and sure in halibut fishing, but they are few and far between, for day in an :1 day out. these big flatfish are very ginger biters, never swallowing a bait without first giving it a rather careful examination for hooks or other deviltry concealed therein. The modus operandi of the average halibut's bite is so characteristic that an experienced angler calls the biter before he sees the fish. In places like San Pedro Bay — good, by the way, for halibut — resorts where croakers are likely to come along at any time, one has some excuse for going wrong, but in the open, where one's fish bait is usually on the bottom or near it, and croakers are not present, feeling a few- tentative nips and a sensation as of a fish chewing the bait are circumstancial evidence of the presence of a halibut. As the doctors say, the chewing symp- toms are pathagnomie — that is to say, they denote only one condition, and that is the champing of a halibut's tooth-studded jaws. It is at this stage of the game that the tyro dis- tinguishes himself from the veteran by getting busy at once, searing away the fish, losing a bait, and gen- erally making a mess of the matter. Meanwhile the old hand who has had several "bites" — it is hardly piscatorial good form to speak of the tentative efforts of a halibut as a "strike" — is letting everything sev- erely alone and giving the fish a chance to work out his own salvation — or the other thing. The result is. in a few minutes, unmistakable evi- dence indicates a. hooked fish; the gaff is brought into iplay, and before long a big, fat prize is thumping away on the wharf deck. The manner of pursuing the halibut is so delight- fully simple that one might well think nobody ignor- ant of it, but 'the fact remains that very few go after these big flat fellow-s in the most ' killing" manner. A sinker heavy enough to carry the bait down is needed, and when a heavy one is employed, it is ad- visable to let the line run free through it. With '"sliding tackle," well so-called, a halibut picks up a bait, starts slowly off with it; encounters no resistance, and swallows the mouthful. A strike with the wrist usually hooks him deep, and by careful handling he is seldom lost. Early winter is the best of all seasons for halibut fishing, and those who like the game are now in- their element. At nearly all the resorts, fine specimens ar* being taken every day, an abundance of bait fish in the water being of great assistance to the anglers. Fine wire leaders are quite advisable in halibut fishing, as the scissors-like jaws of the quairy often bite the best gut in two at a snap, while the mouth- ful of sharp-pointed teeth is sure to fray a leader dangerously. Cut into steaks, the "filet of sole" of the markets, halibut are very good eating, though no stretch oi the imagination could construe them as a delicate fish. They are a most valuable source of food supply — or were; the market fishers have in many sections cleaned them out within the last few years. Largest Buck of the Season. To I K. Miller of Pacific Grove belongs the honor of having hagged the largest buck reported killed this season in California. Three weeks ago this i>" k, a splendid four pronged animal that soled over 200 pounds, undressed, was laid low in Denica i about 25 miles east of old Carmel Mission. Hunting Near Willows.

A decision vitally affecting every hunting and fish- ing club in Illinois and millions of dollars worth of property was handed down recently by the Supreme Court, which decides that owners and lessees of sub- merged lands, whether the surface be navigable or not, are entitled to sole rights. to hunt and fish. The case comes from Mason county, where 2800 acres of land, belonging to John H. Schulte. were submerged by the construction of locks and dams in the Illinois River and by the inflow of the sanitary canal. Meredith Warren and others hunted and fished on the property and Schulte asked for an in- junction. The Appellate Court refused to grant the injunc- tion, thereby destroying not only Schulte's rights of control over the fish and game in the waters on his land, but making void the leases of hundreds of hunt- ing and fishing clubs which have held out preserves on similar land along the Illinois River. The niinois Supreme Court holds that along rivers title t" land extends to the middle line, while on lakes title extends to the edge as measured by the govern- ment survey, while the bed of the lake belongs to tin* State. The easemeni of the public to navigation over sub- merged land does not necessarily carry with it an easement to hunt and fish. The Appellate Courl was reversed and :i permanent injunction ordered. 10 ©tte gvceftev ani> gjpurtamcm [November 4, 1905 Black Bass Plentiful. A report from Sacramento stales that Capitol City anglers are enjoying better fishing than ever before, black bass being particularly plentiful. This condi- tion is also credited to the efficiency of the service given by officers employed by the Fish and Game Commission, one of the most industrious and effective officers being Game Warden George Neale of that oountv, according to the declaration of sportsmen. ison Mr. Neale has captured a number of pi- rate fishermen from Black Diamond, and in some in- stances has secured conviction, while In other case, the men have escaped punishment because of de- fects in the law. r the provisions of the present statute it is unlawful to catch black bass with a net, consequently it would be nest to impossible for a fisherman to take 500 or 1000 pounds of bass with the hook, yet if a fisherman is caught with that quantity of fish in his boat, as has been done, he frequently escapes conviction bv saying that -he fish were caught with hook and line. No matter how preposterous this may seem, unless somebody saw the fish taken with a net it would be impossible to secure conviction. The fact that a fisherman has a net in his boat would, of course, be a suspicious circumstance, and an officer might be morally certain that the fish had been caught with that net, but that would not be sufficient to secure conviction, since it is the cus- tom of every unlawful fisherman to wound the mouth of each fish by scratching it with a hook, so that if apprehended with the unlawful catch he may be able to point to the wound to show that the fish had been hooked. , Anglers draw attention to the fact that thousands of dollars have been expended in planting bass all along the Sacramento River, and near Clarksburg, where the fish thrive and increase wonderfully. It is this region of the lower part of the river that is most frequented by the pirate fishermen with their big nets, and it is believed that unless something can be done to stop their depredations the supply of both striped and black bass will be seriously diminshed, if not de- pleted. A plan suggested to curb these illegal fishing meth- ods is to establish a creel limit of say twenty-five or even fifty pounds to the individual per day, just as the bag limit in ducks is established. In this way it would be unprofitable for the illegal fisherman to use their destructive nets and they would give up such traffic, for if they knew they could be convicted for having more than fifty pounds of fish in their possession they would not longer make the arduous trips up the river with their expensive nets, since the lawful catch would not pay them and the risk of con- viction would be too great. these have disappeared, probably coming down into the lower woods, and, in the case of the pheasant, hunting out the alder ridge and willow creek bot- toms. Big Wild Game Was Plentiful. Few among the present generation realize that when their fathers came to this section, the valley was alive with game of the larger kinds of most every description common to the West, several specimens of which, notably the grizzly and antelope, have become extinct hereabouts. Such was, however, the case, and one did not have to search far for them, either, says the Chico Record. •■The plains around Willows were thick with ante- lope, while the hills just back of the town were fav- orite haunts of the' grizzly. The same condition ex- isted on this side of the river, and in the neighborhood of the Marysville Buttes in particular. The writer h"as often heard his father relate that during the early part of 1S50. while he was engaged in freighting on the Sacramento "River in a whale boat, that when camped near the 'Buttes in the early morning great herds of elk. deer and antelope would be seen feeding their way back to the rocky peaks which afforded them security during the daytime, from the marshes at their base, in numbers which made them resemble herds of domestic cattle. Frequently, too, could be seen immense grizzlies in pairs also seeking the same place for their day's rest. Except a few "tule" deer, these have long since been all killed off, and these, too. will before many years have followed. The geese and ducks which existed on the plains at that time in myriads are also becoming scarcer year by year, and with the invasion of the breeding places in the far north by gold hunters, timbermen and farmers, the date of their almost total disappearance can almost be presaged. Sultan River a Hunters' Paradise. The Sultan River country is looked upon by Seattle sportsmen as a region offering some of the best sport to be had. Sultan Basin is, of course, the best spot in that wild section, but it is a hard trip into the basin, and takes longer than the average huntsman can take away from his business.. Also, it is not necessary to go so far up the creek to get good shoot- ing, whl.h can be had not i e than four miles from the village of Sultan.' on the Great Northern railroad. A very good, but very little used road leads from Sultan to the Habaker mining Claim, four and a half miles out, and from the Habaker a trail leads through three mites of overgrown burn that is ideal deer coun- try. The trail leads through the brush and bends round down to Sultan River, and on the river deer can be seen nearly every morning or late evening. A second roa om Sultan station up the north bank of the river to the Sultan Gold Mining Com- pany'.^, camp, and a mile ahove the camp. In another big burn, is more good deer country. Here, as in the Snoqu.i1 ry, there are deserted cabins on nearly Hunting in the Sultan country is not limited to deer. For a montl tie tin i will be good black bear shootii igar are thick enough to be a nuisance. Up to the fust of the present month there nid pheasants to be had. but latterly A Big Silvertip Killed. Early this month a rare specimen in the big game line was bagged near Montrose, Colo. Bears are not by any means scarce in that section, but this fellow was a bit out of the ordinary for he weighed 1200 pounds, half a ton. and proved to be the largest silvertip ever killed in that country. Nine men surrounded the bear in a dense thicket and shot at it several times. Finally Oscar Lampman got off his horse to get a better shot at the bear. J. K. Gill, who was about fifty feet away, called to him to look out, as the bear was charging. Lampman jumped on his horse as the bear ran otward him and rose on its hind feet. Mr. Lampman turned in his saddle and shot the bear squarely between the eyes when the infuriated animal was not over six feet from his horse, which had pushed its way into the brush as far as possible to avoid the bear. The bear fell dead at the horse's feet. Gill was unable to shoot for fear he would hit Lampman. This bear had been killing many cattle in that section and is believed to be 30 years old. Striped Bass. The San Antonio and one or two sloughs in that vicinity, also Shell slough, near Shellville, are giving anglers excellent sport with the striped bass. Big catches are not the rule, but quite a number of large fish have been taken. W. T. Hillegass landed three fish on Thursday. They weighed 22, 5 and 4 pounds, respectively. A. M. Cumming's take was four bass — IS, 10 and two 4 pounders. Sam Wells landed a 7 pound fish. A number of fish running from 10 to 20 pounds have been caught within the past week and the sport seems to be improving daily, much to the satisfaction of a large number of local anglers. Local Conditions. Duck hunting-, excepting on odd days when the weather has been exceptionally fine, continues good generally. The birds are about the bay marshes in great numbers, but are beginning to get more cau- tious daily, for they have had a lively bombardment for the past three weeks. In consequence the open waters of Suisun, San Pablo and certain portions of San Francisco bays are a safe haven in the day time during the pleasant weather. Stormy weather is what the gunners now want; the season in this re- spect has been very backward so far. Canvasback ducks are already here in fairly plenti- ful numbers and generally in fine condition. Pete Walsh of Black Point, one day last week shot a "can" on Petaluma creek that weighed four and one-half pounds. Northern birds are still arriving daily in large flocks. The first rains will' scatter the flocks now here, but other birds will soon take their place. Quail hunting conditions, locally, so to say, have not changed to any extent. Cooler weather and a rain or two is needed to promote tne best phases of the sport. Despite the unfavorable weather condi- tions, hunters returning from Point Reyes and other stations along the North Shore last Sunday, brought back between them all over 500 birds. The shooting of ducks on the marshes to San Jose continues unremittingly. Favorable reports have also been received from Redwood City and other points adjacent to the waters of San Francisco Bay. The long continued fair weather has greatly aided hunters in their quest of mallard, sprig or teal as the ducks will scatter overland to fresh water creeks and lakes upon the first rain-storm. SPOKANE SHOW. A total of about eighty dogs made up the entries for the third annual show of the Spokane Kennel Club held at Spokane, Wash. October 11th to 14th. The show was held, as usual in connection with the annual State fair. The show developed more in the nature of a local exhibit than as a representative bench show. Spokane is not favorably located, it seems for a big entry at this time of the year. The Seattle fanciers, being mostly in the disqualification list, were not represented. Portland. Victoria, Tacoma and other points, however, contributed some good dogs. The standard of quality, generally, was very good. James Cole of Kansas City, judged all classes. The officers of the club are: John Ml Bunn, president; C. D. Bond, vice president; A. B. Jackson, secretary-treas- urer. Awards. Cocker Spaniels (black) — Novice dogs — 1 Duke Royal. R. G. Gamwell.

Never in the history of sports afield on the Coas! has there been such a heavy sale of firearms am ammunition as has prevailed, particularly in Cali- fornia, since the opening of the hunting season. Sptortsmen these days are up-to-date and wel posted on what the manufacturers and dealers offe them — needless to say merit counts all the time. A significant fact in this connection is the follow ing telegram recently sent to the Ithaca Arms Com pany, Ithaca, N. T.: "We are cleaned out of every 12 and 16-gauage Ithaca gun. Can't you rush us some. Everybody fighting for them. Phil. B. Bekeart Co.

Peters Ammunition at Sea Girt. The military competitions held at Sea Girt, N. J., August 21st to September 29th, gave new emphasis to the fact demonstrated in previous years, that Peters Captain W. G. Hudson; the Hayes Match, won by Supreme Test of Winchester Ammunition. It has often been proven that Winchester factory loaded .ammunition shoots where you hold, so at the recent Sea Girt Rifle Tournament, the President Roosevelt Trophy, emblematic of the military cham- pionship of the United States, was won by a rifleman using this time tried and reliable make of ammu- nition. Sergeant C. E. Orr of Newark, Ohio, was the man, and it is needless to state that his wonderful shooting at all the ranges is now the talk of all mili- tary rifle experts throughout the world. This was not the only match won by shooters using Winchester ammunition, far from it, as the following important matches were also captured with this make of am- munition: The Spencer match, won by Captain W. B. Martin; the All Comers Military Match, won by Mr. H. E. Simon; the Kuser Rapid Fire Match, won by Mr. A. L. Laudensack; the E. P.

Leushner fourth; Consolation Match, C. F. Silvester second ; Wimbledon Match, Lieut. Casey second. Seven of the high ten scores made with Peters cartridges. In addition to the above, there was some very fine work done in some of the other matches. Lieut. Casey in the Spencer and Seabury matches at 800 yards made a total of 20 consecutive bulls. The finish of the Wimbledon Cup Match was very interesting. Lieut. Tewes was almost the last man to shoot and "Billy" Crosby, shooting the "Leader" shells, the shells he always shoots, did funny things to the inan- imate targets at the New London, la., tournament. Arriving at New London the evening before the shoot, direct from the Pacific Coast, he seemed none the worse from his long journey across the continent, and started in the next morning by pulverizing targets, and after missing his ninth target ran out 271 straight, fifty of these being from the twenty-two yard mark. For the tournament he scored 592 out of the 600 shot at That old reliable shot, Mr. Garrett of Colorado Springs, who, by the bye, is another champion who always shoots the "Leader" shells, won the high ama- teur average of the tournament with the splendid score of 577 out of the 600, making a run of 145 straight during the tournament, thus it will be seen that, both the expert and amateur high averages, also the longest straight runs, expert and amateur, were rnade by shooters that used the time tried and reliable "Leader" shells. At the tournament of the Spokane, Wash., Rod and Gun Club, Mr. C. M. Powers, an amateur, shooting Winchester "Leader" shells carried off the honors by winning the high average of the shoot. When it is taken into consideration that such world renown ex- pert shots as Fred. Gilbert, Jack Fanning, Rollo A. Heikes and T. A. Marshall, were in attendance at this shoot it speaks volumes for Mr. Powers' keen eye, steady nerve and the reliable "Leader" shells. At every tournament held on the Pacific Coast in which the Eastern experts took part, namely: The Inter- state Shoot held at Ingleside, the Medford (Ore.) tournament, the Portland (Ore.) tournament, the Ta- was generally conceded to have the match won, before coma (Wash.) tournament, the Seattle (Wash.) tour- his last shot was fired.

An extensive plant for dipping sheep has been installed by the Bellevue ranch, San Joaquin county, which for thoroughness of treatment and econ- omy of operation is an advance on for- mer methods. The plant is on a hill- side. At the top is a furnace of ce- ment with vats for boiling the dip, which consists of three parts sulphur and two parts quick lime, writh suffi- cient water to give the desired strength. The dip is delivered into a cement trench, with the sheep corrals at one The sheep are passed into the trench at one end, care being taken to sub- merge each animal. Each sheep has to swim the length of the trench filled with dip. This saturates the wool with the sulphur solution. At the far- ther end of the trench a leadway guides the animals into corrals with cement floors sloping back into the trench, thus saving the dripping solution. The sheep are held until the wool has drained the excess dip, and are then passed on to a holding corral. A grav- ity drain empties the dip trench when the work is done. By means of this •very simple and efficient arrangement 5000 head of sheep can be treated in one day by five men. In C« [SOD- ::■ he m Has Imitators But No Competitors.

They were divided up in pens of 700 to 800 sheep, each pen In charge of a feeder whose business- it was to watch them closely. October 11, at the time they were put on feed, they averaged seventy-four pounds each and during the first three weeks made a gain of two and a half pounds a head weekly. The ration was ten pounds of pulp to one-half pound of alfalfa hay daily. To this ration a small portion of sugar beet molasse3 was eventually added. The experi- ments indicated that the molasses tended to make a firmer flesh and that sheep fed with it as part of the ration shrunk less in shipping. WOODLAND STOCK FARM HORSES AUOTIOKT FRED H.

It requires but a short time to cook them, in which way they are very beneficial. A little salt added while they are boiling will give them a rel- ish.

It seems to be the general opinion that alfalfa hay is not a good horse feed, especially for horses on the road or for fast work. Now I would like to correct this, as alfalfa is too good a feed to be condemned for any purpose. The fact is. nearly every one who feeds horses gives [hem too much hay and this applies to all kinds 01 hay. If a horse is given about what alfalfa it should have, say, twelve or fifteen pounds daily for horses of 1000 pounds and a fair grain ration, the animal will travel just as far and just as fast as with other kinds of hay and in better condition. i il if a horse is allowed to eat thirty to forty pounds a day, which they will of alfalfa if it is given them the horse is sure to become short-winded and sloppy- One of the famous trotting horses on the Eastern turf with a record below 2:03 is fed alfalfa as its. only hay. A good ration for the horse of any kind of feed is about one pound of grain and one and a half pounds of hay to each one hundred pounds of horse and this would apply to alfalfa. In fact, the horse should do better on the alfalfa than with other hays and with less grain. This might be the opportune time to say that the majority of the farmer*, feed too much hay of all kinds to their horses. In fact, the horse barn, to my notion, is where one of the greatest wastes of the faTm can be found. Horses will travel better, stand more work and be healthier if fed less hay. Most farmers give them all they can eat and aim to have them waste enough to make their bedding, when they have plenty of good straw going to waste on the farm. The London cab horses which are considered the finest and best kept in the world, have but two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening with the noon hour for feeding. At eight o'clock in the evening every scrap of feed is taken away from them and they are bedded for the night. The average farmer would think his horses were being starved if he found no food in the manger after eight or fiine cijclock in the evening. The feeding of alfalfa to horses does away with the old-time bran mash once a week, which was considered so neces- sary. A great many alfalfa feeder.-, have from experience decided that the first cutting of alfalfa is best for horses, or alfalfa that is fairly coarse, or some that had come to full bloom. The idea is, although they do not know it, that in feeding this kind of alfalfa the horse gets about the amount if should have. The horse picks it over and takes the best of it and manages to get about what it should have. If horses were given the same amount of good, well made alfalfa hay they would eat it all and then would have too much. An overworked horse or one run down and thin will pick oip and get fat and in good condition on alfalfa pasture quicker than on any other grazing known and when a grain ration is added they have been known to put on as high as three pounds a day. Horses will eat and do well on the refuse from sheep feeding lots where alfalfa has been fed, while on straight timothy it will get thin with no work. — I, D. O'Donnell. SECURING GOOD LAYERS. While every farmer should resort to the pure breeds for the best results, there are some matters pertaining to the management of poultry which the farmer or poultryman must personally attend to, as he cannot delegate the duties to others. To have a flock of good layers next year each of the pul- lets should be observed carefully, as it is only by daily observation of the members 'of the flock that a selection of the best can be made. The desired results are not always accomplished in one year. To bring a flock up to a hik-h degree of efficiency depends largely upon the management, yet one must breed for something better every year. The best pullets should be the foundation, and with careful sH'-rtion every year there will be progress and improvement It le a problem to pick out the most suitable breeds, as cli- mate, markets and other conditions are factors; but each farmer can take the best of his pullets .very year, as well as retain any meritorious hens that have given satisfactory results. There is no known breed that satisfies all farmers. Poultrymen and farmers have their preferences. experience teai hing each that the best breed is the one adapted to his farm. "When introducing new blood, aim to secure stock fr«om yards that contain hardy fowls, and do not fail to cull and dis- pose of all unpromising stock. — Ex- change. POULTRY NOTES. Meilicine is seldom necessary for fowls that are properly cared for. Air slaked lime is valuable in many ways in the poultry house as a disin- fectant. It is almost impossible to keep more than one breed on a farm without get- ting mixed. Parched corn is the best form in which to give charcoal to poultry. It is far better than charcoal alone. The tendency of most poultry keep- ers is to make the roost s too high. They should be from eighteen inches to two feet high, and about three or four inches wide. The fowls and animals have sense enough to recognize good treatment from bad. They reason, and their dis- positions are such that a little persua- sion will go farther than violence, in accomplishing good results. Usually male birds are as good about dusting themselves as the hens, and need to be looked after more closely. Free access to a good dust bath will usually control the lice on the hens, and in the henhouse. A writer says: "I fully believe that a large per cent of breeders who quit the business with the conclusion that there is nothing in it, or those who make an absolute failure of it entirely, can turn back, if they would, and point to overcrowding as their main cause of defeat. It is impossible to get fertile eggs from stock kept under such circumstances." Veterinary Experience Infallible guide to horse health. 100 page book, free.

The opening of a high class train- THE SAX BERNARDINO ENTRIES which will be found? in full on the following page, furnish plenty of evidence that the meeting to open on this new track next Thursday will be not only high class but one of the best ever seen in the southern part of California, and will make an auspicious opening for the new circuit recently organized in that section with Mr. A. W. Bruner as secretary. The fact that a num- ber of trotters and pacers that have been racing on the Grand Circuit will start at this meeting shows that the energetic secretary has been at work to secure attractions that will draw the horse loving people to Gee the contests. The 2:09 class trot in which John Caldwell, Morone, Adam G-, Jupiter B. and Helen Norte are entered will prove a most interesting race. We know how* John Caldwell, Morone and Helen Norte raced and won heats against some of the best Eastern trotters this year, and will have a chance to see how such horses as Adam- G. 2:11%, the fastest of the trotters on the California circuit this year, will compare with them. The great feature of the meet- ing, however, is a match race between the Eastern pacr Hazel Patch 2:02% and the California champion Zolock 2:05%. A gentleman who spent several weeks on the Grand Circuit this year and saw Hazel Patch race several times expressed the opinion in the office of this paper this week that Hazel Patch was a faster horse than any pacer racing this year, excepting Dan Patch and Audubon Boy, and they were not really racing. He believes him capable of pacing heats below 2:0:;. Granting all this there are many California horsemen who will look to see Zolock compel Hazel Patch to lower his record or be defeated when they meet at San Bernardino if both are in shape and other conditions favorable. The San Bernardino track has lately had nearly $7000 expended on making it as fast and safe as possible and it will be in record breaking shape when the meeting opens next Thurs- day. AMONG THE ARRIVALS on the last steamer from Australia was Mr. C. W. Wright, a well known horse- man who has been engaged during the past two years exporting standard bred horses from the United States to Australia. Mr. Wright, who is well acquainted with the demand for harness horses in the colonies and who enjoys the confidence of the best buyers there, has shipped horses on order and met with suc- cess. He has heretofore shipped by way of the Cape of Good Hope, but is now contemplating sending fu- ture shipments by way of the Oceanic line from this city. He has favored us with a handsome photograph of the champion trotting stallion of Australia, which we reproduce on the front page of the Breeder and Sportsman this week. Emulator, the horse in ques- tion, is a square trotter, has a two-year-old record of 2:59, a four-year-old record of 2: 24 \'z and an aged record of 2:18%. His two-mile record is 4:57. Emu- lator is by the Australian sire Osterley. Hfl is a bold, free-going trotter, and Mr. Wright states that when seeing him trot a mile in 2:20 on a grass track with flat turns, he came to the opinion that under American conditions of tracks and training he would be a 2:05 trotter.. The picture shows him to be a hand- some horse of much substance as well as plenty of quality. He is owned by Mr. J. B. Zander, of 245 King street, Melbourne. THE FIRST ANNUAL SALE of cattle from the Humboldt Herd of Shorthorns owned by Rush & Pierce, took place at Suisun. October 19th. The sale was handled by Fred H. Chase & Co. of San Fran- cisco and was quite a success. -Buyers were present from all over the State. The average for the 55 head sold was $89.10. The bulls averaged $127-30. Mr. A. J. Molero was quite a heavy purchaser, bidd- ing in 19 head. He intends to go quite extensively into the breeding of shorthorns on his fine ranch in Monterey county. Judge Carroll Cook of San Fran- cisco was also quite a heavy buyer, and will place the cattle on his farm at Glen Ellen, Sonoma county. A MONTANA TROTTER. Richie Baron 2:16%, owned by J. V. Collins of Butte, the horse who started on the Montana circuit this fall, a green trotter, has made one of the best records ever made by a Montana horse on the state circuit, and is entitled to the state championship. The best judges of horse flesh are predicting that next season the- horse will prove himself to be one of the best trotters in the Wst. The judges and other horsemen at the Montana fairs, who watched Richie Baron's work on the state tracks this fall, are pre- dicting that he will be good for three heats in 2:06 next year. They say he would easily have made 2:10 this season on the fast Eastern tracks. Richie Baron is by Baron Wilkes out of Winnell. by Wilkes Boy. He was bred by Marcus Daly and was purchased by Mr. Collins, the well known Butte man, four years ago, at a sale of the Daly horses. Since that time he has been driven by Mr. Collins as a roadster until the present season, when he was put on the state circuit. He is seven years old. Richie Baron raced on the Livingston. Bozeman, Anaconda, Missoula and Helena tracks this season. He was started eight times and wasn't out of the money in any race. He won three starts out of the eight, was second twice and third three times, and won in purses something over $3,000. He made his mark of 2:16^ when he won the Bankers' stake, worth $1,000, at Helena. In this he won the first heat, lost the second and third and then won the fourth and fifth. He also captured the Breeders' Stake at Helena, trotting the second race with only one day intervening. The race was three heats out of five. Richie won the first three heats straight, equal- ing his old mark. In all his races this fall he was never put to a drive, a whip was never used on him and he was never pushed to his best speed. Mr. Collins' horse was also the only one on the state circuit which was able at any time this fall to come under the wire ahead of Dr. Frasse 2:12%. Richie Baron beat Dr. Frasse one heat in a free-for- all trot at Livingston, and was second to Dr. Frasse in the race. Patsie Rice of Helena, who trained Button last year, had Richie Baron on the state circuit this fall. He is still training Mr. Collins' horse and both he and Mr. Collins expect to see the horse make a mark of at least 2.06 next year. — Butte Evening News. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. William Mead, Santa Maria. — The Tear Book does not credit either of the horses mentioned in your letter of inquiry as having a standard record — that is -:30 or better tromng or 2:25 or better pacing. The Suisun Republican says: M. J. Reams has leased Mrs Field's ranch of 1200 acres on the Denver- ton road two miles east of Suisun. and has taken up his residence there with his family. A large portion of the ranch will be devoted to farming and stockrais- ing. It is Mr. Ream's intention to build a half-mile track on the place for training speed horses. He has a number of young horses of his own, the speed of which he desires to develop. He has not yet decided whether or not he will handle outside horses, but he probably will. Mr. Reams lost a fine three year old stallion by death a few days ago. The horse was by Demonio, dam by Oro Wilkes. He purchased the stal- lion from Rush & Haile at two years old. paying $500 for the animal. The horse showed every indication of high speed, and Mr. Reams had expected to realize quite handsomely from him. About two thousand people turned out to see the $500 match race at Alameda track last Sunday be- tween the gelding Faust by Aptos Wilkes and the mare Daisy May. The first and second heats were won by Faust in 2:27 and 2:2S. When scoring for the third heat, the veteran driver Hines, mistaking the yells of the unruly spectators for the word, drove Daisy May the full mile, thinking it was a go. The judges allowed him twenty minutes to cool out the mare, and awarded her the third heat owing to Faust swerving from his position in the stretch. This heat was in 2:30. The fourth heat was won by Faust in 2:28%. This afternoon a return match at two mile heats will be trotted at the same track by the same horses. The match for $200 a sade between Cash and Billy F. will also be decided this afternoon. A dispatch from Vienna, Austria, dated October S, states that a two-mile trotting race open to the world Was won there on that dae by Kirkwood Jr. 2:10. time, 4:26%. This is three-fourths of a second faster than the best previous two-mile trotting race record, which was 4:27%, and was held by Caid 2:07%. The time of the fastest two-mile heat ever won in a race in this country is 1:45, and stands to the credit of Monette, a daughter of Monon by Nutwood 2.18%. The fastest two-mile heat ever trotted against time was in 4:17. and was won by Cresceus 2:02%. Tho ii. -i fastest is 4:28%, made by the stallion Onward Silver 2:05%.

If a California horseman should drop into Salt Lake City, the metropolis of the State of Utah, some fine summer's day and chance to drive out to Higgins Boulevard, he would doubtless rub his eyes and won- der if he had not been dreaming of home, as he saw well known California trotters and pacers speeded over this beautiful turnpike. Higgins Boulevard is a stretch of road, a full mile in length, and although within the city limits, is watered and cared for by the Salt Lake Driving Club, who are permitted to use it as a speedway, an ordinance passed by the author- ities prohibiting any heavy teams from traversing it. The Salt Lake Driving Club is composed of all the enthusiastic road drivers in the city by the saline sea, and on every day of the week except Sunday, when the weather is favorable, they repair to this speedway and enjoy the royal sport of road racing. Quarters in 30 seconds are not uncommon, and the horse that can win a blue ribbon any afternoon must have two-minute speed for a short distance at least. Mr. Ezra Thompson, formerly mayor of the city, is often seen behind the California bred pacer Robert I. 2: OS 94 by Hambletonian Wilkes. This horse has all his old time speed and as he has been entered at the meetings to take place this month on the Southern California circuit, he will probably demon- strate this fact to your people. Mr. Thompson also drives a very fine black mare that is called Jennie A. that he has entered in the 2:20 pacing events on the same circuit. All California lovers of a game race horse will remember the black gelding Dr. Frasse 2:12% by Iran Alto. He is owned here by Mr. J. T. Richards and there are few horses, pacers or trotters, who have any business tackling him for a brush of a mile or less. Mr. Richards also owns the pacing mare Alpha W. 2:08 that has won money all over the Middle West and the Colorado circuit. Nutwood AViikes has a representative in these road brushes in old Claudius 2:13%, and despite his years and many hard campaigns can hold his own with the best trotters owned in Utah. He is owned by Mr. W. S McCormick, who takes as much pleasure in heading a rival in a brush as most men do in win- ning a stake. Mr. Thos. McCoy is another resident of Salt Lake who drives a good one from California. The brown pacer Cavalier 2:11% by Welcome, is his property and he can often be seen speeding him at a two- minute gait. He has another horse called Kangaroo that looks and acts like a great prospect, and a horse called Ringtail that will be faster than either of the others in the opinion of many. Mr. J. S. Bransford, who has purchased quite a number of horses in California for his Salt Lake friends, bought Tom Car'neal 2:0S% by Diablo on a trip to Los Angeles last spring, and is greatly pleased with him. He also owns the pacer Dewey that is fast enough for a race horse Mr. C. H. Thompson has one of the fastest of the road pacers in Osmont 2:14%. a son of Altamont that was bred and raised by Under Sheriff James Daly of Napa, California. Mr. Thompson also owns Amarea and Joe McGregor, and drives them on the road. The fast mare Laura Spurr 2:09%, and a good green one called Fleet are driven by Mr. W. S. Jones. Laura can show enough speed to warrant the belief that she could reduce her record if prepared for a shy at the mark. One of the sweetest and handsomest little mares that gees down the Higgins road is Jessie Tilden, owned by Mr Geo. W. Putnam, one of Salt Lake's enterprising business men. She has some speed, but Mr. Putnam has ideas of breeding her to a developed stallion and raising a two-minute colt on the Casper Redfield plan, and every person who knows him hopes he will succeed. Mr. C. J. Crabtree is another enthusiastic road rider. His horse Crabapple is one of the fast ones of the road brigade and has taken his turn racing with more or less success. He has another however that the boys call Bay Beauty, which the drivers of the fastest ones are beginning to cast a jealous eye on as she is showing a rate of speed that is not to be despised. Cold Storage is the peculiar name which Mr. J. C Tuttle has selected for a very handsome pacer he is driving that is considered a rare good, one by those who have seen him step. Henry Newell owns a well-bred one in Willets by Silkwood 2:07. dam Gypsle the dam of Delilah 2:1414 and grandam of Zolock 2:05>4, by Gen. Booth. H. Y4\ Brown, owner of that fast stallion Altoka 2:10% by Allerton, won first prize at the recent Utah State Fair with a pair of bay fillies by this horse that are perfectly matched and can pole in 2:40 or better. They are three and four-year-olds, own sisters and make everybody do a little rubbering as they go by. There are many other good horses driven over the speedway here, but in the short time your correspond- ent has been here he has not become acquainted with the names of all of them. The raring at the recent State Fair here was very poor and the daily papers were not backward in criti- cising it. Some idea of it may be obtained from the l in a that mine of the best horses owned in Salt Lake Look part in the races, which were marie up with small purses for the cheap horses If the directors would only take a few lessons from such fairs as are held at Hamline. and other places, where big stakes bring out the best horses in the country and lay lor themselves by the large list of entries they i eceive, I understand the directors say their policy is to offer prizes and purses only for horses bred in the State. This is very shortsighted, as it is only by the "lion of better horses than are owned here that their stock can be improved. Most State fairs offer prizes for the best horses no matter where are bred or who owns them. California has se& by this means some of the best stallions in the v of all breeds, and stands today as one of the lea horse breeding States in the Union. This is a very thriving city, and the people to be prosperous. I thought their State Fair, ou- the horse racing, was a very fine show, and I do see how they could expect to attract good horses' have good racing for the small purses hung u]i will leave here next week for Los Angeles.

A little ways outside of Denver, Colo, is beiug, tablished a stock farm which is liable, in the ful to be noted among the breeding establishments ol West because of the care in which the founda stock is being selected, says an exchange. There larger farms and more pretentious ones than the Rose Stock Farm, recently established by Georg Newman of Denver, but it is doubtful if any i ever laid out on better lines and with as much used. In the future as in the past the progress i not fail to be satisfactory. The farm has been named after a two-year-old by McKinney, which was one of Mr. Newman's purchases. The dam of this colt is Sweet Rose Electioneer, dam Rosemont by Piedmont, and Si Rose had a yearling record at the trot of 2:30. Rose is a big husky youngster, weighing 1140 pou and when thirteen months old showed an eighth 2.24 clip. He has been worked some, but very I fully, as he is a big, growthy fellow and Mr Newi had rather take plenty of time in his develops than risk any chance of injury by forcing him first brood mares purchased by Mr. Newman inch Rosalind 2.21% by stam B.: Queen J. bv Hero] son of Belmont, Countess by Counselor 2:12% by ward, and Ami Wood by Saxwood, son of Shade Onward.

The length of time she will maintain her maximum pro- duction depends on her constitutional strength and the care with which she is fed and handled. A good dairy cow should not show any marked falling off until after ten years of age. Many excellent records have been made by- cows older than this. The quality of the milk production by heifers is some- what better than that of milk of older cows, for we find a decrease of one- tenth to two-tenths of one per cent in the average fat content for each year until the cows have reached full age. It is caused by the increase in the weight of the cows with advancing age: at any rate there appears to be a parallelism between the two sets of figures for the same cows. Young animals use a portion of their food for the formation of body tissue, and it is expected therefore that heif- ers will require a larger portion of nu- trients for the production of a unit of milk or butter fat than do older cows. After a certain age has been reaches, on the average about seven years of age, the food required for the produc- tion of a unit of milk or butter fat again increases as regards dry matter and the digestible components of the food A good milk cow of exceptional strength, kept under favorable condi- tions, whose digestive system has not been impaired by overfeeding o* crowding for high records, should con- tinue to be a profitable producer till her twelfth year, although the econ- omy of her production is art to be somewhat reduced before this age is reached. — Bulletin Wisconsin Experi- ment Station. NEW POULTRY FARM. it E. H. Winship and C. F. Grant of Napa have formed a co-partnership, and under the firm name of C. P. Grant & Co. have purchased from T. N. Mount the Meredith place of eighty acres, five miles north of Napa, and •will establish thereon the Mammoth Poultry Farm. The old buildings which are now on the property will be torn down, and the work of constructing a residence, brooders and incubator houses, and other structures planned and equipped for the care of poultry will be commenced. Two chicken houses, 400 feet in length and 24 feet in width, will be built. Down the side of each building will run a tramway, and on one side of the tramway and next to the nests will be troughs for the soft feed. Above the nests will be slides, inclined toward the tramway, which will enable the workmen to thoroughly and conveniently clean the houses. Above these slides will be the roosts. tA the end of each building will be provided a cook house for the preparation of feed, and adjoining it a granary. An incubator house with a capacity of 5000 eggs will be built. From the brooding house will be runs, and these runs will lead into large cor- rals, enclosed with wire netting. It is estimated that over six miles of wire will be used in this manner on the farm. A complete water system will be established, the water required to bu pumped with a gasoline engine. The C. F. Grant Co. has already purchased 2000 hens, and hopes to be ready for r-'iH'ness within a few months. — Nap-l Register. PASTURING GOLD LAND. *9imT^ Registered TJ. S.

Dear Sirs: —I have used a bottle of 'Save-the- Horse," and I consider it the beat thing that as yet I have been able to obtain for what it was intended, it havingentirelycured a very valuable mare which has been lame since last September with a sprained ankle. We had her blistered twice ard laid up for two months, but it dldno good. I was just aboutready to breed her when I gave It a tr'al; she is now entirely sound. Yours respectfully. ALBERT E. BAKER. Tom Hood, in that inimitable poem "Miss Kilmansegg1," tells of a breed, of sheep that were pastured on land so rich that "their teeth turned to gold by browsing." Perhaps the Folsom De- velopment Company, an organization formed to dredge hundreds of acres of land near Folsom. Sacramento county, for gold, will meet with the same good luck. It will be several years before dredgers can be built and put in opera- tion on this land, so the company has decided to go into the cattle raising business, using the land for ranges upon which the herds will graze. The company will go into the business on quite an extensive scale. In the past the land has been rented to stock rais- ers, but they have been notified that the company will reserve the lands for its own use. WERE THESE TWO CA*ES WORTH TBE COST OF TREATMENT? Brooklyn, N. Y. One of my horses went lame from side or shell bones on both eet, which extended entirely around the quarter, and was laid up for about thr-e months i used two bottles of "Save-the- Horse." and the horse is perfectly sound. I have driven her over paved i oads, and one day gave her a sixty-mile drive and she never showed the least particle of lameness. The growths have nearly all disappea- ed. I have owned horses for years, u-*ed them -to build railroads and in all kinds of contract work, and have used remedies, blisters firing and electricity, but never saw anything take hold and produce such results as "Save-the-Horse" in this case. D. C. BENNETT. Builder, 416 79th St. Nyack.N.Y. In August I had a mare with an ankle cocked from a bad wrench in a race. It was so bad I had concluded to shoot her, but was persuaded to breed her and turn her out- I bred her, but in- stead of turning her out used your "save-the- Horse." In three weeks I was more than sur- prised to see the swelling disappear, and the remedy produced a complete cure She is as good as ever. I have raced her since and drive her any distance without any sign or lameness. I cannot say too much for your rempdy. GEO F.

San Francisco, Saturday, November n, 1905 PACIFIC BREEDERS FUTCRITY No. 6 will close December 4th for the nomination of mares bred this year. Again this popular stake is announced to have a guaranteed value of $7000, and again it should receive a long list of nominations. Secretary Kelley of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Asso- ciation has been sending out blanks this week to all those residents of this Coast who within his knowl- edge bred mares to trotting or pacing bred stallions |this year, and will mail them on application to any who have not received them. This futurity has done ;and is doing much to encourage the breeding of good horses on this Coast and should have the support of every breeder and stallion owner. The men who own stallions should especially be the ones who should lend their assistance in securing entries to the stake. Every stallion owner should take a pride in having his horse represented in the list of foals en- tered in this stake, and should do what he can to- ward securing the nomination of mares bred this year to his horse. The more foals entered, the greater the chances of one of them winning. As the owner of the sire of the winner is paid $100 out of the stake, there is an additional inducement for stallion owners to see that their horse is represented. That entering in colt stakes is a paying proposition for all breeders and owners whether their colts win or not is ad- mitted by all. Stakes enhance the value of horses entered in them and create more interest in breeding than any other one thing. The Breeders' Futurity, the Occident and the Stanford stakes are worth more to the stallion owners of the Pacific Coast than the majority of them imagine, and should these stakes be discontinued, the falling off of stallion patronage would be greater than most owners imagine. We hope every person who has bred a trotting or pacing mare to a standard bred stallion this year will see that it is to his advantage to nominate the mare in this stake. It is guaranteed to be worth $7000, but it can by liberal patronage be increased to $10,000. Read the advertisement in this issue for the conditions of this rich stake. CONEY ISLAND JOCKEY CLUB STAKES for the meetings of 1906, 1907 and 1908 will close on Wednes- day next. Nov. 15th, with the Clerk of the Course, at 571 Fifth Avenue, New York. The stakes are as fol- lows: For the June meeting, 1906, the Foam, $2500 added for two-year-olds at five furlongs; the Surf, $2500 added, for two-year-olds, at Ave and a half fur- longs. For the June meeting, 1907, the Tidal. $20,000, for threeyear-olds, at one mile and a quarter; the Mermaid, $3000 added, for three-year-old fillies, at one mile and a furlong; the Lawrence Realization, $10,000 added, estimated value $40,000, for three-year-olds, at one mile and five furlongs. For the Autumn meeting of 1907 the Great Filly Stakes, $5000 added, estimated value $20,000, for two-year-old Allies, at six furlong; the Century. $20,000. for three-year-olds and upwards, at one mile and a half. For the Autumn meeting of 1906, the Annual Champion, $20,000, for three-year- olds and upwards, two miles and a quarter. For the June meeting 1908, the Lawrence Realization, $10,000 added, estimated value $40,000, for three-year-olds, one mile and five furlongs. The Coney Island Jockey Club's race course is at Sheepshead Bay, New York, and is one of the grandest race courses in the world. The full conditions of these stakes will be found in our advertising columns to-day, and should be read by every owner and breeder of thoroughbreds. election in Ohio last Tuesday. Herrick is the man who promised to sign a bill permitting harness racing to be held with betting in the Buckeye State, but who went back on the promise and vetoed the bill after it had been almost unanimously passed by the State Legislature. The Cleveland meeting, which had always been one of the largest and best on the Grand Circuit, was held without betting last year, with a resulting loss of thousands of dollars, and was de- clared off this year when it was found that Tom John- ston. Mayor of the city, said that he would be com- pelled to enforce the law prohibiting betting. That the horsemen did not hold Mr. Johnston to blame for enforcing the law is shown by the fact that he was re-elected Mayor on Tuesday, while Governor Her- rick ran thousands of votes behind his ticket in Cleveland .and in other parts of the State. The horse- men of Ohio, finding they could not get justice from Governor Herrick, simply united against him and their power is told by the vote. It is a lesson to horse- men elsewhere to unite and act when their rights are taken away from them. They are numerous enough to be a power in the land. THE CHRISTMAS EDITION of this journal, which will be issued December 23d, will be something differ- ent from the majority of previous holiday issues. The special articles prepared for it by writers of extended reputation will be more numerous than ever, while the statistical matter will be found unusually exten- sive and complete. The cover page will be an orig- inal and handsome design and great effort and care will be expended in making the edition one of the best holiday numbers issued by any weekly journal on the Coast. Advertisers who desire space in its columns should apply early, as the space given to advertisers will be limited this year. The Horseman: Chicago's recent horse show again illustrated the fact that breeders of the trotter do not take any great amount of interest in such events. That is, they do not go to the trouble of entering and showing: their horses in the classes reserved for them. The result was, as in former years, that few horses were shown in the distinctively trotting classes. Miss Wilks, who is engaged in establishing a breeding farm at Gait, Ontario, and Will J. Davis of Chicago were two exceptions to the rule. In the roadster classes Miss "Wilks made a clean series of victories with Rhea W. and Easter Belle, these two being shown both single and double, practically every day of the show. These, however, were not samples of horses of her own raising, but were show horses pure and simple. Mr Davis in Strangeville had a handsome horse of his own breeding which has been a successful blue ribbon hunter at the matinees this season. There are scores of stock farms of easy access from Chicago and yet the owners of these did not trouble themselves to advertise their stock at this fashionable exhibit. Because of this attitude of the breeders for a series of years the managers of the horse shows, not only in Chicago but in other horse show centers, these exhibitions are becoming more and more merely shows. The horse is seen in his high estate but it is that of the horse in the city and not on his native heath. The American trotter is very much in evi- dence, but oftentimes he is so changed that none but an astute admirer of the breeder is able to penetrate his disguise. With fancy mane, tail docked, and man- nered in high stepping he is oft confounded with the hackney and the latter sometimes profits at the ex- pense if his cousin. There are no indications that these exhibitions are to become less of a show and more of a breeders' exhibition, and such being the case it behooves the friends of the trotter that they insist on the pedigrees of all horses being properly catalogued. Then the casual attendant of such shows would be able to distinguish between the trotter and the other breeds supposedly more adapted to the show ring, but which seldom prove their worth in compe- tition. The breeder allows the dealer to do his showing for him, but he should insist that the latter so label his exhibits that a portion of the honor and the glory be shared by the breeder who made such things possible HARNESS RACING IN MONTANA. GREAT REJOICING AMONG HORSEMEN doubt- followed the defeat of Governor Herrick for re- The meeting and banquet of the Butte Driving Club, held at the Butte Hotel on the evening of October 26th, was one of the most successful and enthusiastic- gatherings of horsemen ever held in the State says Stockman and Farmer. Covers were laid for sixty people and outside of four guests' all in attendance were members of the Butte Club. The past season in Butte has been very satisfactory to the horsemen of that city. There has been more and better matinee racing than was ever held in Montana before and it has aroused enthusiasm in behalf of the light harness horse that will result in the purchase of new blood by Butte rangemen. The guests of the evening were Senator Hoffman of Bozeman; W. B. George of Billings; J. W. Pace, Sec- retary of the State Fair, and Harry Lane of the Bel- mont Stock Farm. It was decided that for matinee purposes a half- mile track was preferable and $10,000 was subscribed at the meeting for the building of such a track. W. A. Clark, Jr., president of the Butte Driving Club, headed the subscription list generously and has prom- ised a site for the half-mile track. The building of a half-mile track in no way in- terferes with the racing on the old Daly grounds, as the new track will be club property and will be usea strictly for the matinee of the club members. The Butte Driving Club will send a representative to the meeting of the Secretaries to be held in Helena in December for the formation of a Montana circuit and will do what it can to promote racing in this State. OAK PARK DRIVING CLUB. The second matinee of the Oak Park Driving Club was held at the New Agricultural Park, Sacramento. October 2Sth, and drew a good crowd. The day was ideal and the track in fairly good condition for a new track. Two trotting races and a half-mile running race was the card for the afternoon's sport. The first was a four-minute trot best two in three and was won by Clarence Crouch's Maud in straight heats, best time 3:12. The next race was the 2:40 trot with three entries; this race went to Bess W., also in straight heats, best time 2:47, last half in 1:20*. The entries for the gallop were Ed Haley's O'Meaga and Lady Reed, owned by H. Cowell. The flag fell to a good start; Lady Reed forging to the front, hugged the pole and won out in 52 seconds, O'Meaga the one- time $10,000 two-year-old coming in a poor second. Summary: First Race — Maud (Crouch) 1-1. Twin- kle (Raynsford) 2-2, Trilby (Smith) 3-3. Time 3:15, 3:12. Second Race — Bess W. (White) 1-1, Prince L. (Lewis) 2-3, Fannie (Brown) 3-2. Time, 3:00, 2.47. DRIVERS WHO WON $1000. The Grand Circuit of 1905, which does not include the Lexington meeting, resulted in just fifty drivers winning $1000 or more. Ed Geers, as has become a habit with him, leads the list. His winnings amount to $34,054. Chas. DeRyder, although not having a stake horse in his stable, stands eighth on the list with over $12,000 to his credit. The list of drivers who won $1000 or over is as follows: Geers $34,054, L McDonald $26,035, A. Thomas $16,708. Murphy $15,681, Stinson $15,390, Ames $13,539, Dickerson $12,916, De Ryder $12,562, Gerrity $12,075, McCarthy $11,059, Snow $10,S00, Andrews $10,625, James $7,334, Benyon $6,897, G.

It is gratifying to every man identified with trotting to receive the assurance that the stories recently given to the public, to the effect that the experiment of light harness racing a Memphis, Tenn , was to be abandoned on account of legislation adverse to pool selling, and the beautiful course at Billings Park cut up into building lots, emanated from a wholly irresponsible source and have not the slightest foundation in fact. The short but eventful history of the Memphis track abounds with so much of brilliant speed achievement, and records the reduction of so many important world's records, that its interruption for a single sea- son was everywhere hailed with regret, and its perma- nent extinction would be regarded as an irreparable loss to the sport. The recurrence of the exigency which prompted the abandonment of the Memphis meeting this season is not likely to be witnessed in many years, while the statutory interdiction of pool selling in the state is not contemplated with serious discomposure. The extravagant stories concerning President F. G. Jones* retirement from harness racing, and his purpose to sell all his horses on account of his dissatisfaction with the sport, proves also to be not merely exaggerations but absolutely canards, as Mr. Jones has withdrawn the few horses that he had decided to sell for purely commercial reasons and wil' proceed to make his stable even stronger next sea son. — Trotter and Pacer. The Rural Spirit says: E. B. Tongue, of Hillsboro, Oregon, and Thos. H. Brents, of Walla Walla, Wash- have brought suit in the circuit court against thf State Board of Agricultural to compel them to pas added money in a race competed for at the Oregon State Fair in 1904. One of the conditions in the stake reserved the right to declare less than three starters a walk-over. There were only two starters In the race and the board refused to pay the added money under the advertised conditions. The plaintiffs claim that because the judges did not declare from the housetops that no added money would be given they are entitled to it. This case with all the evi- dence was taken before the Board of Appeals of the Nations 1 Trotting Association, of which the State Fair Board is a member, and was decided again si Tongue and Brents, and they now seek to recover in the civil court. Both these gentlemen are able lawyers, but we think they have overlooked rule 2 section 6 of the National Trotting Association, which reads as follows: "Every entry shall constitute an agrement that the person making it, the owner, rider, driver and horse shall be subject to these rules, regu- lations and by-laws, and will submit all disputes and questions arsing out of such entry to the authority and judgment of this association, whose derision shall he final."

The little mare Mamie R. 2:15**. that Mannie Reams sold to Mr. But- ler, he considers a great mare. She was taken sick to make much of a showing, but in Mr. De Ryder's opinion she should beat 2.10 three ■ ! a race next year, as she is not only a very game. In bringing Star Pointer to California Mr. De Ryder selected a horse that he felt would be appre- ciated by the breeders here, and from the letters he is already receiving it is evident that he judged the desires of the breeders about right. "The demand," said he. "is for fast pacers that can go the route, and this is the quality the famous Hal family possesses. " Star Pointer was the first horse to beat two minutes. and when he paced a mile in it59%, at Readville in i ithout the aid of a runner in front, he set a mark that no stallion has yet been able to lower. Dan Patch himself has taken two whacks at this record and has only succeeded in equalling it. al- though with the aid of the runner in front he has paced a mile in 1:55%. Star Pointer is full of thor- oughbred blood, and that is where he gets his won- derful endurance and ability to carry his speed to the r the mile. "He is the only horse." said Mr. De Ryder, "that I ever saw pace a mile in two min- utes and come home on the bit." In all other recorJ performances where the time has been in two min- utes or better, there has usually been much shouting and urging to encourage the horse to finish the last quarter and keep trying until the wire was reached, but old Star Pointer finished his record miles with the bit In his teeth and not all out. In that he is the most wonderful horse that ever wore harness. Star Pointer's fee will be $100 for the season with the usual return privileges. Mr. De Ryder has a lease on him for two years, with the privilege of five. Mares will be received at any lime, and a few have already been bred. We have several families in California that take to the pacing gait like a duck to water. The Direct fam- ily holds the world's record for a two year old pacer with Directly 2:07%, and Direct's grandaughter Bon- shares with Little Squaw the champion three year old record for fillies. Steinway's son Klata- wah 2:05% is the champion three-year-old pacer, and Inway family is largely represented in the 2:10 list. Yolo Maid 2:12 by Alex Button was once a champion. Gold Leaf 2 :11 and several others by Sid- ney held world's records. Flying Jib 2:04 by Algona I the champion banner Anaconda 2:01% by in the list. There is plenty of blood that paces in California and good mares of any of our leading California familes that have shown an inclina- tion t" ; j nick well with Star Pointer, who should be able to sire a future champion right here on the soil of the golden Si "You can tell the hoys that "the only trotter" is at said Joe Ciiicello, the well i trainer, while in the office of this paper last Monday.

Cuicello worked the pacer Ringrose by Falrose a mile in 2:13% last Saturday. Here is a bay gelding. a good looker, with speed enough to show a quarter in 30 seconds, that would make an ideal road horse. Joi red him for sale, but says he made the mis- take of putting too low a price on him. Two or three different persons looked at him, and seemed to like him. but when the price was stated, began to ask all sorts of questions as to what ailed him. Ringrose is sound and all right, and Cuicello thinks he would have sold him some time ago had he made the price just twice as much as he advertised him for. Mr. Coffin bred three mares to Zolock 2:05% this year, including the dam of Coney 2:02. and two or three to Kinney Lou 2:07%. As all his mares were selected for their breeding, speed and individuality he should have some very choice youngsters by these two sons of the great McKinney. LOS ANGELES ENTRIES. The people who bred mares to Tom James' good horse Barondale 2:11*4 when he was in California will be pleased to hear that the son of Baron Wilkes is making a record for himself as a sire. He put six new standard performers into the list this year, and five of these records were made on half mile tracks In addition two of his get reduced their records, both on tracks but a half mile in circumference. Those that took new records are : Garfield Maid 2.15 ^ . Allanadale 2:17%, Hal Baron 2:22!4. Fashoda 2:24%, Ima Barondale 2:24^4, and Ellendale 2:19*4. Those reducing their records were Earlondale from 2:25% to 2:22%, and Ima Barondale from 2:15% to 2:14%. This is a mighty good showing and will do much to call the attention of breeders to Barondale who, how- ever, is already a very popular horse in Iowa. SANTA ANA ENTRIES.

November 11, 1905] ODhv ^reciter cmfc ^^tivtamcm SOME OBSERVATIONS. I saw in an Eastern paper that the two-year-old j filly by McKinney. dam Our Lady by Nearest, is con- | sidered about as fine a specimen of two-year-old I horseflesh as her admirers ever saw. She doubtless i -will prove another illustration of the "happy nick" resulting from the McKinney-Nutwood Wilkes cross. What is a "happy nick"? It is the nick that produces i happy results and the surest way to get happy results is in the union of the blood of two or more great sires through their best representatives, and the oftener the names of great sires appear in a pedigree the greater the certainty of a "happy nick." Cali- fornia was never so well supplied with the blood of great race horse sires as at present. There will very soon be available the blood of two of the greatest harness racing stallions that ever blessed the Golden State— Searchlight 2.03*4 and Lecco 2:09%— and when their blood is united with the blood of the great race hiorses and sires of races McKinney and Director through their great sons. Kinney Lou, Zolock, Zombro, Direct and Directum, and that backed up by the blood of Guy Wilkes, Electioneer, Nutwood and Steinway, no man can doubt that the "happy nick" will occur {oftener than ever before and that California will not only continue to lead all other states but assume a I greater lead than ever in the production of winning trotters and pacers. I T. W. Barstow of San Jose is the happy owner of (another "happy nick" in a two-year-old colt, art- ificially sired by McKinney out of a mare by the Ibrother to the great John A. McKerron 2:04y2. that lis a large fine looking bay colt now two years pld, of (which my friend Barstow is so enthiisrastic over that [when talking to me about him I suggested" that 5S a 'precaution he get an iron band fitted into his hat land to take the hat off only at night. He said: ? "He's the greatest trotter, sir, I ever saw, and you (don't have to take my word for it. sir. Everyone on [the race track will tell you they never saw one lik^- I'him; even the 'knockers' have to admit it." \ This I found was true and Theodore has without ■ any doubt got an unusually bright prospect. Even Ithe always conservative Budd Doble said: "He is a [great colt." At the Oakwood Park Stock Farm sale held in San JFrancisco labt spring, Joe Spaulding, brother-in-law of Jack Phippen, and his partnerin the livery busi- ness in Mayfield, purchased for $110 a three-year-old ■ chestnut gelding by Owyhee 2:11, dam Prosperina by [Diablo 2:09^4, second by Allandorf, son of Onward land Alma Mater, third dam by Mambrino King, fourth !dam by Blue Bell 79. He was slightly thin and skinny jat the time. Joe has jogged him on the road since land he has improved in condition and developed into la strong racy looking colt. Last week he entered Jack 'Phippins' training school at San Jose and upon the [next day after his arrival there trotted a quarter in ■ •41 seconds under a strong pull and "Jack" saying "Whoa, boy!" all the way through the stretch. Mr. [l Phippen says that since the days when he first han- l died the wonderful filly Sunol he has not driven such la precocious young trotter. He is another "happy nick" [•and an inbred one. He carries the blood of Owyhee, I Diablo, Chas. Derby (twice), Steinway, Strathmore, 'Atcantara. Onward, Geo Wilkes (three times). Elec- Itioneer (twice), Mambrino King and the great Blue . Bull, the blood of the great dam Bertha, dam of seven, MAlma Mater dam of eight (twice), Green Mountain KMaid, dam of nine (twice), Katy G.. dam of six i (twice), and others. He's better gaited than Lou I Dillon and on breeding ought to beat the Queen. t There are lots of them that ought to do that, but ^ they don't. taining his present record. During that racing season his temperature was never less than 101 and often hovered around 104, which means that he was nothing if not a sick horse. Yet how he raced. His victories are still fresh in our minds but we did not then fully appreciate them as we did not know they were the victories of a sick horse over the best trotters in his class in America. That he possesses extreme speed is known by the fact that he has repeatedly stepped quarters at the last end of a fast mile in 29 seconds. What kind of a field of trotters would it take to get the decision over him when well and fit? In the opinion of his owner and others, better than he has yet met on the race track. Will he make a great sire? Beyond any possible chance of a doubt the answer is: He will. He possesses all the necessary qualifications a great sire must have — not part of them, but all of them. He lacks nothing. Lacking nothing, there is no chance to fail, only from lack of opportunity, which misfortune often befalls some really great horses and they live and die in obscurity. But this can never be the lot of the greatest son of the greatest sire. C. C. C. breed, quality an character, and we can in time create numerous renters of this kind by uniformity and persistency in breeding. One that goes like the making of an extremely fast » trotter is a beautiful black three-year-old filly 'in Honest John Gordon's stable at San Jose. Her gait is (the "poetry of motion," and while not just the same as Sonoma Girl's, the best gaited trotter to my mind ! I ever saw, it is similar and just as pleasing to look i at. She is by Mr. Gordon's stallion, Silver Arrow. I son of Silver Bow, and Lady Weeks, dam of that lamented black mare Ethel Downs 2:10, by the great Nutwood. Her dam is by Richard's Elector, son of .' Electioneer. She came into Mr. Gordon's hands scarcely broken, and with her first set of shoes on trotted a mile in 2:35 Mr. Gordon told me that he believes she could have stepped in 2:30 had he asked I her to and he believed it or he wouldn't have said it. Here's hoping she beats 2:10. OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS. Mr. Doble has a lovely two-year-old filly which in gait, breeding and beauty is hard to improve on. She is by the champion brood mare Beautiful Bell's youngest son, Monbells 2:23%, her dam is Idle May 2.24yz granddam of Memonio (three years 2:14, second in 2:11%), sister of Wild May 2:30, dam of L. 96 2:1C% by Electioneer, second dam May, dam of two and dam of "Little Joe," a pacer, that, had he not been spoiled and made erratic by the "hurry up process" would have made a phenomenal side wheeler and I believe a do-or-die race horse. H'.s speed vas intense, a half in a minute just like breaking sticks; third dam the great Mayflower dam of two worldls champion trotters and eight producing daughters. Kinney Lou 2:07% has enjoyed a very successful season in the stud and is now in fine shape. Mr. Doble is giving him stiff slow work and will winter him with the view of having him ready to take East next summer if he should conclude to do so. He is not satisfied to permanently retire the greatest son of the illustrious McKinney without giving him a chance of acquiring a record somewhere near his capacity, which is in the immediate neighborhood of the world's stallion record. It is not generally known that this great trotter was not a well horse at any time during the season of 1903 when he made his memorable campaign winning over $11,000 and ob- Dr. A. S. Alexander. There has been general lack of these principles in our breeding operations, as there has in every state where imported animals have been mployed. Our farmers have attempted to improve their horses by grading up, by which is meant, mating with pure-bred stallions until the blood of these sires shall have predominated over that of the native stock arid stamped the characteristics of the pure breed upon the resultant progeny. Every step taken in this direction has been well intended and the results would have been highly satisfactory had the breeders continued to breed on and up by successive top-cross- ing with sires of the same breed. Five or more of such top-crossings are required to obliterate the na- tive blood in the combination and, in fact, constitute practical purity of blood, according to the require- ments of some of the stud books. But breeders here, as elsewhere, have followed no concerted plan in their grading up operations They have commenced right, but gone wrong shortly, by mating the female progeny with horses of another pure breed — one different from the first used, yet possibly of as good type and char- acter. All sorts of crosses have been made ui this way, "the result being that most of our horses are of mixed breeding and. many of them mere mongrels and misfits. Out of this heterogeneous collection of nonen- ities are a few phenomenally good individuals. Where all of the requisites for perfect development of frame and body exist it may be taken for granted that vim, vigor, hardy constitution and "staying powers" will be the natural legacy of the horses there bred, pro- vided the climate is not innervating. While fine individual animals are sometimes pro- duced by mixed breeding or cross breeding, there is nothing definite about such mating methods and the progeny is much more apt to be nondescript than above average. The only certain method of raising the general average of our horses as regards type, quality, character, action and specific utility must come from persistent breding to sires of the same breed until the blood of that breed has wholly ob- literated the impure, or native, blood derived from the mares originally used. Where this is done the resultant progeny will be pure in blood, to all intents and purposes and, to the same extent, true in every character and quality of the pure breed employed. Naturally, then, we should find among these animals, graded up to practical purity of blood, general ex- cellence of form, quality, action and utility, such as characterizes the breed used in the work of improve- ment, and such is the case, as a general result, wher- ever this course has been pursued. To make our ar- gument more clear let it be said that if the owner of a brood mare, or number of mares, of selected type, but of native or mixed blood, starts to grade up by mating them with a pure-bred Percheron stallion, that breed should be used right along, year after year, until all of the native or mixed blood has been overcome and obliterated by the Percheron blood. This is to be done by castrating and selling all of the male progeny and weeding out all poor individuals of the female progeny: then mating the selected grade fillies each time with Percheron stallions. As already stated, at least five top-crosses of pure Percheron blood must be used in this way to obtain practically pure-bred Percheron stock from a scrub or mixed bred founda- tion, and when these crosses have been put on, the owner would be foolish .indeed to mar it by the ad- mixture of alien blood. The same principle applies to whatever breed of horses is started with. That breed should be per- sisted with until its characteristics predominate in the blood of the entire horse stock of the farm, and if the breed commenced with was suitable for the district and the market and the horses in general were fully fed for perfect development and obtained from sound sires and dams, the resultant stock would be market- able at remunerative prices to buyers of the particular class of horses bred During the grading* up process every out cross to a sire of other blood than the one commenced with will set the entire operation back to where it started. Should a number of outcrosses be made* the process is not grading up, but standing si in, or retrogressing: and the stock bred will have neither definite character nor certain value. We have been using pure bred sires, to a greater or less extent, for upwards of fifty yars. yet Cew, if any, -listi -lets have persistently used such sires in a right line until the "character and quality of any one breed have become predominant and the breeding district consequently noted as a center for excel 1 en 1 horses of the breed chosen and, therefore, attractive to the buyer in need of that market commodity. In Wisconsin, as else- where, we should have many centers noted for the annual production of numbers of horses of standard -Horse Show Monthly: As every cloud lias its silver lining so have the farmer man and the regular dealer in horses found, or soon will find, that the troubles of the race track people will work to their profit. The same thing happened in 1S93. when, you probably re- member, there was a great slump in the racing game as well as in other forms of business. Race horse- were actually given away by owners who found the business of running them did not bring enough to pay for their keep, others were sold for so little that not even vocal efforts were encouraged. Anybody who could buy oats could afford a thoroughbred, and he could get it without a song. Most of the horses so disposed of were of little value as runners, but they had the blood .strain that is bound to tell in the last analysis. As the Barbary steeds that Pizarro and Cortez brought to the pampas of the South developed or degenerated into the tireless mustang of the prai- ries, so have the cast-off horses of the racing stables of something more than a decade ago been trans- formed into staid but indomitable work horses. The thoroughbred blood is there and it asserts itself in demonstrations of energy at the plow or in the fam- ily surrey. Many a good old family horse of this generation is sprung from a mare or a horse that knew as much about the saddle call or the starter's drum (they used a drum in those days and the barrier was unknown) as the favorites that so recently broke records at Belmont Park. The cast-offs were bred by farmers into whose hands they fell, and the stock of the country was thereby greatly improved. There never was, and never will be a good type of horse for any purpose that has not a large infusion of thoroughbred blood, and every time there is a decrease in the value of thoroughbred horses more of that sort of blood will be disseminated among the horses of the common peo- ple, and for the use of men who want horses that can do things, and will do or die. The United States Government recognizes the value of the thoroughbred as a cavalry horse, though the agents of the government do not generally admit it, and some of them do not even know that they know. This last class only know that they want a typical cavalry horse, and that such a horse is being bred slowly but surely. They do not connect the filling of the want they recognize with the apparent, and . possibly temporary passing of the horse as a gambling machine. The men who are breeding the ideal cavalry horse are utilizing the thoroughbred. They are breed- ing race mares of divers sorts to thoroughbred stal- lions that have been shunted out of the racing stables. With that sort of sires and dams nearly any sort of desirable horse can be produced, and finally there will be developed a sire of such prepotency as to found a new type. It was thus that the celebrated Morgan horse was evolved. It is the same with the Frenqji coach horse, and the American roadster. In every recognized type of superior horse flesh there is neces- sarily a strong foundation of thoroughbred blood, of the blood that made the coursers of Saladin famous, and the same blood that has made the English bred racer the conquerer of the world. Up in Missouri on the prairies where the eye can reach for ten or twelve miles, and the land is so flat that it is "dished," there are horses that can drag a heavy buggy and two heavy people fifty miles in six hours and do it again next day. then run away and break up the wagon if a fool gets hold of the lines •and they realize that he Is a fool. These horses are nearly full thoroughbred, but they are trained to trot, and never run unless the fool, hereinbefore referred to, gets behind them. Their descendants will forget even that much of the instinct of the thoroughbred to use the gait that covers the most ground in the short- est time. Down in Arkansas an elderly gentleman with long whiskers, named Rice, has crossed his country bred mares with thoroughbred stallions, and permitted the progeny to get their own living in the cane brakes. The result is that he has twenty or thirty hunting ponies that could be sold for thousands of dollars each if they were put on the market for polo players. They are small but capable of carrying a two -hundred pound man a hundred miles in fifteen hours, or dash- ing off a quarter in 25 seconds It is the thorough- bred blood that gives them their speed and their en- durance. So let me tell you again the more thoroughbreds that are turned over to men who will mingle their blood with the colder strains of the common every day horse the better for the horse owner generally, and particularly for the man who wants a show hois.-. When you see a good show horse you can go and bet your overcoat just before a blizzard that he lias .1 liberal dash of thoroughbred blood in him. If he hasn't he isn't much of a show, and he is less of a horse. Always remember, however, that types o:' horses are created and may become so nearly pern a hent that the thomughbreed origin is forgotten, but it is always there.

Prominent American and English horsemen identi- fied with the National Horse Show Association, are considering the project of an international exhibition in England next year. Among the prime movers in the enterprise are James T. Hyde, the man who brought the National into existence; Richard F. Car- man, one of the largest stockholders in the associa- tion, and F. V. Gooch, the English dealer who has judged saddle horses at the National for several years past. Their present plans contemplate a big exhibi- tion on the lines of the National in London in May, under management of Mr. Hyde. Much encourage- ment is being given to the project by prominent exhibitors who have been invited to join in exploiting American horses abroad by shipping their stables across the transatlantic ferry for this show. It is said that- several leading American owners have given assurance that they will take their horses over if the exhibition is held. A final decision in the matter will probably be reached at the November show at Madi- son Square Garden. Among the recent purchases of W. A. Clark Jr. is a two-year-old colt by Liberty Chimes, dam Miss Isadore by Pamlico 2:10. Had the California circuit been longer this year the list of new 2:15 performers would have been larger. Quite a number of good green trottesr and pacers were kept at home because the meetings were so few.

The auction sale is to he held next Tuesday evening at Fred H. Chase & Co.'s salesyard, 1732 Market street, this city. Go out to Fred H. Chase & Co.'s salesyard any time between now and Tuesday evening next, the night of the sale, and look over that sever-year-old bay mare, No. 13, in the catalogue. She stands 15.3 and weigh; 1050 pounds. She is by St. Whips 29,721, a son ol Whips 2:27%, and is out of a mare by Daly 2:15, next dam by Milton Medium, the horse that sired Lou Dillon's dam Here is a pretty rich combination of blood. This mare is in foal to Washington Mc- Kinney, a magnificent son of the greatest sire of 2:15; trotters. She is worth a great deal more than she will bring. In an exhibition mile paced by Dan Patch at Mern- phic, November 3d. the champion pacer equaled the world's record without a wind shield, covering the distance in 1:59%. This record has been held by Star Pointer for a number of years. The quarter was passed in 0:30, the half was reached in 0:59% and the three-quarter pole in 1:29. One of the handsomest youngster at Oakwood Park Stock Farm this year is a colt by Stam B. 2.11%, out of Electway, sister to Chas. Derby 2:20, Klatawah 2:05% and other good ones. This colt is a perfect gaited trotter. Mr. C. W. Wright purchased last week from O'Brien & Sons, Coast agents, a new model low seat Toomey sulky, and a pneumatic tire Toomey road cart, both of which vehicles were sent to Australia. Mr Ezra Thompson, a prominent road driver of Salt Lake City, and one of the solid business men of that community, was elected mayor of that city at the election held last Tuesday. A horseman is a hard man to beat at any election. Mayor Schmitz is a reg- ular road driver, while Mr. Partridge is not. Mayor Thompson is the owner of the horse Robert I. 2:0S% by Hambletonian Wilkes, that is being raced on the Southern California circuit this month. A filly that will make an ideal driving animal is a two-year-old bay by Washington McKinney out of Danville Maid by Daly 2:15, grandam by Steinway 2:25%, that goes to the Rose Dale Stock Farm sale at Chase & Co.'s next Tuesday evening. She is broken nicely, is gentle and very attractive in appearance. She trotted a mile in 3:10 the first time hitched to a cart and is entered in the Stanford Stake for next year. Monday, December 4th, is the day for the closing of entries for the $7,000 Breeders' Futurity, which is for the foals of mares bred this year. Mares must be nominated on or before that date. It only costs $2, and you have a number of changes to win. It is reported that the Spokane Fair came out about $13,000 ahead this year. Mr. H. W. Lawrence, a prominent business man at Los Angeles4 and owner of that good young stallion Murray M. 2:14, winner of the Breeders' Futurity for three-year-old trotters in 1904, dropped into the Breeders' office last Wednesday on his way home from a trip East. Mr. Lawrence states that Murray M had a big season in the stud this year, and has filled out into a fine, handsome and large four-year- old. Murray M. is by Hambletonian Wilkes out of Anna Belle by Dawn, being an own brother to the fast pacer Robert I. 2.0S%. He is a grandly bred young horse and having a three-year-old record of 2:14 as well as being a stake winner, he will be well patronized by breeders who aim to breed the best. As he closed his racing season in good shape last year, there is nothing to prevent his lowering his record to 2:10 or better next season if he is raced. The American Sportsman of Cleveland prints the following: The boys say that the California trainer. James Thompson's car contained, besides his horses, a brindle bull dog, a Maltese cat, four game chickens, a fan-tailed white pigeon, four barrels of sour winter apples and two tons of hard coal. With all these pets and a brand-new wife, Mr. Thompson's time should be fully occupied this winter. A trotting or pacing colt that was bred to race but is not entered in any stakes often leads a prospective buyer to believe that the breeder did not think much <>f him or he would have been entered. The Pacific Breeders' Futurity will close for the nomination of mares on the 4ih of December. Tuesday evening, November 21st, is the date set for the sale of young trotters from the Woodland Stock Farm. Here is an opportunity to get good youngsters from a farm that breeds stake winners Bellemont 2:17%, by Zombro 2:11, winner of the two-year-old trotting division- of the Pacific Breeders' Futurity last year and of third money in the same stake this year as well as second money in the Occident Stake, is reported as trotting very fast for Will Durfee at Los Angeles. She was entirely oft early in the season this year and was short of wrork when the racing season opened, but Is now stepping like a coming champion. She trotted a mile in 2:11% at Los Angeles last week and finished strong. No less than thirty-seven horses with records of 2:10 or better are consigned to the Old Glory sale. Cresceus 2:02% heads the list as the fastest trotter, and Sir Albert S. 2.03% is the fastest pacer. Zombro 2 : 11 was bred to fifty-seven mares Oregon this year, and there were many high cla: ones among them. Nominate your mares, bred this year, in Pacific Breeders' Futurity No. 6, which has a guaranteed value of $7,000. Here is a good one on Scott Hudson. At Lexington he took a look at his former pupil Nervolo, who the week before had paced in Cincinnati in 2:03. Turnin: to Owner Lockwood, Scott said: "I can shoe him so that it will make about three seconds difference in his speed." The horse went to the shop and was shod as Hudson directed, with a result which made the au burn-haired Kentuckian a true prophet The next day he raced with Hudson behind him and his fastest heat was 2:05%. The death of Clarence Van Bokelen, a student of the Santa Clara High School and son of the weii- known horseman B. O. Van Bokelen of San Jose, oc- curred last week and resulted from injuries received while playing a game of football. Young Van Boke- len was a particularly bright and exemplary youth* a general favorite and his death is deeply deplored.|B The sympathy of their numerous friends and ac- quaintances among the horsemen of this coast is extended to his sorrowing parents. Look in our advertising columns for the announce- ments which the leading live stock autioneers. Fred H, Chase & Co , make of thoroughbred sales. Nushagak and Prince Ansel are two stallions that sire speed. The young things by them which are to be sold by Fred H. Chase & Co. in this city on the evening of Tuesday, November 21st, are a very fine lot. Go to the sale and get another one like Aristo 2.0S% that sold for $10,000. Nothing definite has been decided on as to whether Lou Dillon will be bred to John A. MeKerron 2:04% or not. If she is bred at all_she will be bred to MeKer- ron. but not until spring. The chances are, however, that the queen of all trotters will be bred to Mr. Devereux's horse. Mr. Billings was greatly pleased with the colts foaled by his mares last spring and will no doubt send Lou Dillon to the brood mare ranks in the spring. If he does. MeKerron will have the distinction of having bred to him two great mares, one an ex-champion world's trotter and the other the present world's champion. It will be a distinction never before enjoyed by a stallion. Chas. De Ryder brought over with him from Salt Lake the pacing mare Alpha W. 2:08, to be bred to Star Pointer 1:59%. Alpha W. is by Judge Norval and is owned by Mr. J. T. Richards of Salt Lake City. November 11, 1905J QLlie gteebex: cut£> gtpuviaMtcm SpgSsasSSsatsS THOROUGHBRED DEPARTMENT. l!y K4LPH H. TOZEK. The Opening Handicap, one mile, to be run this af- ternoon at Emeryville, on paper is such a severe rid- dle to solve that I would not be surprised to see the favorite as good as 3 to 1. Proper is the top-weighter •at 126 pounds, and justly so, as he is the classiest horse in the contest, taking courage and weight-pack- ing ability as the test. He rna a mile this season in the heavy going better than 1:41 with 122 pounds up, went the short six furlongs in 1:1014 with 114 pounds, and a mile and a furlong in about 1:52 4-5 with 127 pounds in the saddle. Thus, even on a time and weight basis, his races will compare favorably with those of any horse in the race. Bragg is nicely- weighted at 10S pounds, and as he not long ago ran a mile in 1:4014 with 106 pounds up, has an undoubted opportunity to win. Graziallo (113 pounds) was beat- en half a length at seven furlongs in 1:27 with 127 pounds up, and if he should be in as good shape now as then ought to run the mile in about 1:39 3-5. As he is the stable companion of Proper, Walter Jen- nings has a right to shake hands with himself and do a little chuckling. San Nicolas (109 pounds) in 1904 ran a mile in 1:39% at Kansas City, winning easily by two lengths with 103 pounds on his back. Beau Ormonde (107). in the stud for some time past, has a mile in 1:38 to his credit at Worth track with about 90 pounds up. Rightful (106) did seven furlongs over the slow Memphis track in 1:28 on July 1st last, car- rying 109 pounds, and winning the Gaston Hotel Handicap, and beat Andrew Mack and other good ones at seven furlongs previous to that. In all his other Memphis races he was placed. Red Leaf (100) carried 105 pounds at Latonia and was beaten a head at a mile by Maj. T. J. Carson (94) in 1.39 3-5. Fig- uring that the Emeryville track and the Latonia course are about the same these days, and taking five pounds off the Ally, Red Leaf should go a mile this afternoon in about 1:39*4, which would make her chances appear very rosy. Callaghan (95) and Neva Lee (95) have been working very fast of late, and will have many friends. Briarthorpe, with 97 pounds up, should render a good account of himself. At Los Angeles. March 24, 1905, with 106 pounds up, he ran a mile and a furlong in 1:53%, and with nine pounds off would have gone the route in about 1:52 4-5. Take 13 1-5 seconds off for the extra furlong, and the mile would be run in 1:39 3-5. and this would give Briar- thorpe an outside opportunity to a certainty. Others with a 'look-in" are Gorgalette (101), Judge (105), and Sea Air (98 pounds). The first named ran a mile and a sixteenth at Emeryville, April 29th, with 102 pounds up. in 1:46%, and a mile in 1:40 with 100 pounds, on April 25th. beating High Chancellor (115 pounds) in the last named event by half a length. If Bonsack's horse (asked to carry but 108 pounds in the Opening Handicap) were "on edge" (he looks very "high") he would have to be reckoned with. Claude (118) will probably not come out, and Reservation (113) is not the horse he was when he downed Claude. Following are the weights announced by Handicapper Egbert last Monday evening: Ocyrohe 101 Gorgalette 101 Hugh McGowan 101 Good Cheer 102 Red Leaf 100 Among the bookmakers to arrive here lately are Barney ("Kid") Weller, Louis Snell (who is on a world's tour), David Honeyman, Ed Soule, Phil How- ell and John Barker. Weller will "cut in" at once, and Mr. Barker will be with "Young Man" Martin. Mr. B. says the Middle West racing situation is not pleasant to contemplate. The Sausalito poolrooms will be closed at the usual time after all. Messrs. Daroux and Harvey are lu the six-figure mark "to the good." as usual, say those who should know. Each poolroom winner on the season is welcome to a large sized oil painting entitled "Ajax Defying the Lightning." * * a '* Recent arrivals of horsemen are Ed Gaylord. of Denver, who has his flyers at Emeryville: "Red" (Charley) Comerford, who will manage Barney Schrei- ber's Los Angeles string! and Wally Brinkworth, owner of Silverskin, Stroller, Little Wally, etc. Brinks- worth's gallopers are not to race here, it is declared. Jockey Frank Payot is also here. * * * * Eddie Burke, who booked in California one or two seasons, was recently elected president of the Metro- politan Turf Association of New York. John J. Evans is the treasurer and Timothy Sullivan secretary, while David Gideon, I. Hackelberg and Charley Heaney were elected directors. a a a a C. E.

He now has difficulty in "doing" 107 pounds, and will in all likelihood not be able to ride more than another season. Jockey "Big Bill" Knapp is also a recent arrival. He is getting heavy, too, but is not likely to have to quit the business as soon as Davis. Knapp has made a great name for himself this season, and next season will in all likelihood ride for James R. Keene. Turf writers now rate Knapp with ffrankie O'Neill as a jockey, and O'Neill has been accounted the premier rider of America for the past two seasons. * a a The'races at Emeryville will begin at 2 p. m. this season.

About $800 was realized for the benefit of that worthy charity, the Armitage Orphanage, at the Cali- fornia Polo and Pony Association's .race meeting at Mr. C. W. Clark's track at San Mateo last Tuesday. The first race, three-eighths of a mile, for non-win- ners, was a fast race and was won by Captain .Mc- Kittrick's pony, Helen Warwick, in : 37 1-5, Chauncey Hayes' Ramona second, and C W. Clark's Chanate third. The second race was a half-mile match between C. W. Clark's Bas Blancs. with Mackay up. and Ru- dolph Spreckels' Althomer, with Skinner up. Altho- mer won easily in : 51 1-5. The third race, at three-eighths of a mile, wis an- other match between the Clark and Spreckels stables. Clark's Midlove. Dunphy up, met Spreckels' Ulctma, Skinner up. Spreckels' horse was the favorite, ;is she had already outrun Midlove and had beaten every pony she had been pitted against this season. As usual, with these two jockeys up. there was a long delay at the start, but Dunphy finally got away in front. Skinner couldn't overtake him in 1 lie short distance and Midlove won by several lengths, run- ning the distance in : 37. The fourth i . quarter-mile handicap, had Ave entries, and J. Chauncey Hayes Jr.'s Ramona, with creased by many from other states. Breeders of animals and breeders of plants, scien- tists, experimenters and students interested in breed- ing and heredity, the agricultural press and every agency devoted to the advancement of agriculture should not neglect this opportunity to get in touch with and be a part of this vigorous organization by being present at these meetings.

Three as great yearlings as ever lined up for the word raced at Hanford and Tulare this year, not one nf them having had work enough to mention, yet they raced like old campaigners and showed 2:10 speed in spots. Two of these yearlings were by Stoneway and one by R. O. Newman's Robert Direct. The Direct colt is eligible to start in the two-year-old pacing division of the Breeders' stake next year, and if he falls into good hands will lower the two-year-old Futurity record for this Coast of 2:1514 almost to a certainty if need be. Not all the good ones are at Pleast n and Los Angeles by any means, and we will show our friends north and south that California is all over like any g I thing— the same wherever you get your hands on it.

Every few years, on the recurrence of unusually severe winters with heavy snows which cover the food supply, great numbers of hobwhites perish, and some- limes in the northern part of its range the bird be- comes almost extinct. This unnecessary loss of life could be largely prevented if land owners and others interested would scatter a little grain in suitable places. This is done in some localities, as at Sandy Spring, Md., where H H. Miller drives over the snow- covered country, scattering grain for the starving quoil. The practice is worthy of general adoption. It is necessary only while the ground is snowbound, and especially after sleet storms. The bobwhite has taken kindly to civilization and has followed the plow of the settler into new sections, so that with the advance of the farming area in the "West, and especially in the Northwest, its range has been much extended. There is little doubt, however, that,, while the hob- white is a fairly hardy and prolific species, its num- bers are decreasing in much, if not all, of its range, where not specially protected. In the early fifties Lewis reported sixty-one birds killed in a day to a single muzzle-loader, and mentions 900 birds trapped on one estate in a season. Whithin the last few- years the scarcity of bobwhites has been so notable that several projected field trials have been aban- doned for lack of birds en which to try the dogs. Severe winters, as already noted, are an occasional cause for a great decrease in the number of the birds, though they increase rapidly with a few succeeding good seasons. In sections where the birds are still common unlimited slaughter is often indulged in by thoughtless hunters. Recent instances of such slaughter are on record, and the following may be cited: A bag of 175 birds to three guns in eight hours in the fall of 1902 at Tiffin, O., another of 300 birds to a single gun in a day and a half in the fall of 1902, in Marshall county, Ky., and still another of 292 birds to three- guns in a day in South Carolina during the same season The value of this bird, both to the farmer and the sportsman, renders the ques- tion of its maintenance and increase one of much importance. So assiduously is the bobwhite sought by sportsmen and market hunters that intelligent and concerted efforts are needed even to maintain its present numbers. Legislation in Behalf of Bobwhite. In addition to natural causes, reasons for the diminished numbers of bobwhites are diversity in the open season, shooting out of season, excessive shoot- ing in season, and unrestricted shooting and trapping for market. Lack of uniformity in laws of adjoining States, and in some cases of adjoining counties, ren- ders their observance difficult and their enforcement often impossible. No other game bird has been the subject of so much legislation, which, beginning in New Tork in 1791, now extends to every State and Territory wheer the bird is native or has been intro- duced. The length of season during which the bird should be protected by law is a matter of paramount importance. It goes without saying that no shooting should be permitted during the breeding season, which must be understood to last until the young of the year are strong of wing and fully developed for the struggle for existence. Besides this the close season ought to includ months of rest, during which the birds can fortify themselves for the physiological strain of the ne*xt period of reproduction. As how established the open season varies from twenty-one days in Ohio to seven months in Mississippi. In North Carolina, however, where nearly every county has its own law, the bobwhite may be shot through- out the year in five counties. Virginia has recently abolished county laws and established uniformity, an example that other States, especially Southern States, would do well to follow. It is gratifying to note that in 1903 the open seasons were shortened by New York, Illinois, Texas and" Virginia In eight States — Maine, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana, Colorado. Wyoming and Utah — the bobwhite is abso- lutely protected for a term of years, extending to 1920 in Colorado. Two conditions justify such prohibition of shooting. First, when excessive shooting or other 'Mis. s have made recuperation necessary; second, when birds just introduced into a new locality need time to establish themselves. Wherever the bird can not hold its own with an open seison of three weeks, absolute protection for a period of years is demanded. The length of the open season must vary with varying conditions, but in view of the general decrease of the birds there would seem tc be a growing need for shortening it. The sooner Northern States limit their shooting to one month the better. Even Southern birds can not stand the present continuous fusillade of from four to seven months, and the open season in the South should be limited two or at most three months. The slaughter of the bobwhite by sportsmen who hunt for pleasure is insignificant in comparison with that by professional market hunters'. At the present time (1904), in about twenty-five States, the law takes cognizance of this fact by prohibiting the sale of birds killed within the State or imported from other States, and the general tendency altogether to prohibit the sale Is growing each year. "Every State except Mis- sissippi forbids the sending of certain game outside the Slate — a restriction on the sportsman as well as the market hunter, although the privilege of carrying home a limited amount of game is often granted un- der a non-residept license. Fourteen States have laws also a Erecting both classes, limiting a day's bag to from five to fifty birds. Many sportsmen and farmer would be glad if the limit were set at twelve. Laws discriminating against non-residents protect the game and benefit the land owner, provided visiting sports- men are not barred altogether by unreasonable fees, Thirrty-one States and Territories require non-resi-. dent licenses In addition to State game laws there are certain Federal laws, the most important of which is the Lacey Act, which provides, among other things, through the Department of Agriculture, for the pre- ■ ■■;-: servation, distribution, introduction and restoration off ■#£ ame birds, and also undertakes to bring to justice* persons who transport from one State to another game killed in violation of local laws. The latter clause proves effective in restircting such illegal shipments and in suppressing professional dealers that kill oul of season in one State and attempt to sell in anothe; where the season is still open. A law to prevent keep^ *ing birds in cold storage from one season to. anothei would stop certain loopholes in the present laws an< greatly aid in preserving game. An effective systei of State. game officials where it is lacking would ai> in enforcing game laws. A number of States depen solely on county officers; .but experience has show: that without a central State organization and speci game wardens the law to a great extent becomes dead letter. Stringent laws against trapping the bobwhite have] been enacted, but such legislation should permit legiti- mate trapping for purposes of propagation. One ofl the most important problems before game commis- sioners is the restocking of depleted covers. If, how- ever, the bobwhite can be reared successfully In cap-J tivity, all trapping may be prohibited. The sporting magazines (Forest and Stream and American Field)-/ mention cases of the bird's laying in captivity and raising its young; and in a letter to the writer, dated September 2, 1904, G. W. Jack, of Shreveport, La./ says: "I now have a pair of quails (bobwhites) which were trapped last winter and which I keep in a large wire coop. They have made a nest in some grass anrjl have laid about twelve or fifteen eggs. "The eggs were laid very irregularly, not more than two or three a week, so that by the time the nest was full the season was far advancd, which perhaps accounts for the female not sitting. The eggs were set under a hen and proved fertile, but the youngi were eaten by the chicken as fast as they hatched. I concluded that this irregularity or slowness in lay- ing was the result of the lack of insect and other egg- producing food, as the birds subsist almost wholly on grain. Of late, however, they have learned to eat with much relish the yolk of an egg hard boiled." The failure of the female to sit was probably due to the unnatural confinement in so small a space, a difficulty which could readily be remedied if attempt: to raise quail were made on a large scale. Unque: tionally, too, it would be necessary to feed the qua! at least during the nesting period, to a considerable extent upon animal food. An instructive account o quail breeding in confinement appears in Forest an Stream for September 38, 18S2 (p. 164). The femal had been hatched and reared by a bantam hen, am this circumstance has an important bearing on ex- periments of this kind. It is altogether probable that bobwhites hatched and reared in this way would lend' themselves to experiments in propagation far more! readily than wild birds trapped for the purpose. The Department of Agriculture obtained three pairs of bobwhites from Kansas, which after five months' captivity are almost as wild as when first caged and "show no sign of mating. Experiments in the domesti- cation of bobwhites are well worth trying, however, because of the demand from clubs and individuals for live birds to restock their grounds. So great has be- come the demand in recent years that it is estimated that 200,000 birds would be required annually to fill the supply, even at $5 a dozen, and sometimes at twice that figure. Success in increasing the number of bobwhite de- pends largely on controlling its natural enemies, which include snakes, foxes, weasels, minks, skunks, do- mestic cats and certain hawks and owls. Several species of snakes eat its eggs and young. Writing from Texas, Major Bendire says: "The many large rattlesnakes found here are their worst enemies. Onet killed in May had swallowed five of these birds at onej meal; another had eaten a female, evidently caught on her nest, and half a dozen of her eggs; a third had taken four hobwhites and a scaled partridge." In Mecklenburg county, V., the king snake has been? known to eat a clutch of eggs. At Fall Church, Va.,. Harvey Riley captured a black snake which dis-' gourged a newly hatched bobwhite. Reference has been made already to the marked decrease in the num- ber of bobwhites en the 230-acre farm at Marshall Hall, from fifty odd birds in- July to less than a dozen in December, though not more than a dozen had been shot. This decrease was probably due, at least in part, to gray foxes; for in August and September these ani~? mals were numerous, and often came after the chick- ens within a stone's throw of the farmhouse. OtheR predaceous mammals and birds of prey were not nu- merous, but foxes frequently were seen at midday searching through pastures where there were broods* of bobwhites. It must be easy for a fox to extermi- nate a whole brood of newly hatched bobwhites, anra no difficult task to catch them, even when threes fourths grown. Minks and weasels, when numerous, are probably 'even more destructive to young bob-' whites than to domestic poultry. The domestic caw that takes to foraging in woods and fields is also a menace and should be shot on suspicion, for it un- doubtedly preys on game birds, as it is known to do on song birds and young rabbits.

A special telegram published in the Amer- I Field gives the following preliminary proceed- ing Hie First American Field Futurity, announced to ]n on Monday. October 30, at Robinson, 111., made city the center of attraction last week for own- handlers and field trial patrons generally. By irday most of the handlers with- their dogs were S(ted and ready for the word to start. r several days heavy rains had soaked the trial Bnds to such an extent that riding over the mead- ■vl and stubbles meant sinking into the soft earth nek and knee deep. This condition compelled a ■ponement of the beginning of the American Field Bprity for a few days, to allow the grounds to dry ■ Many of the handlers, however, had their dogs Id up and were anxious to start, notwithstanding ^unfavorable conditions. TJdges Zell Gaston and Dr. E. R. Hickerson gave .■matter of starting serious consideration, it being |r earnest desire to start the trials at the earliest Bible time. ■ie drawing took place Sunday night. Just before ■ drawing Judge Gaston addressed the assembled iners and handlers as follows: Bentlemen — The American Field Futurity is about Ie inaugurated, and I know that the management ijie American Field regrets as much as we do the Bivorable condition of the grounds, which necessi- fls a postponement of the trials for a day or two. Mow, too, that the American Field desires and will ■ that everyone shall receive the fairest treatment ■ that the trials shall not be postponed one hour ■e than is necessary. Therefore, to-morrow the B-es and the management of the American Field ■ go over the trial grounds, and if it is at all oible to start Tuesday morning the announcement I be made to-morrow night and all advised in time. I,:e grounds cannot be worked without cutting them ft oo much, then the Futurity will start "Wednesday fining. In this connection I wish to state that the Brican Field Futurity is not an event of to-day n. It is a great stake, and the future must be Led into. The good-will of the farmers, over wrhose fcs trials must necessarily be run is something to be * ished. While the farmers are only too willing to m>. the field trials on their lands, they object serious- Ei having their meadows cut up by riders going over ■ l when in the present condition. The American Hi believes that farmers are the sportsmen's friends, ■ desires to retain this friendship for the future ■ 1 of all field trials in this community. For this Bon, and to give every dog an absolutely fair trial, ■ will, as before stated, go over the grounds to- ll row and. if possible, start the First American Field '! irity Auesday morning." Boon the conclusion of Judge Gaston's address all b handlers were satisfied that the postponement for By or two was for their good as well as for the good if ield trial interests, and expressed hearty accord Hi the judge's sentiments, ie following is the list of final starters, drawn 0 m in the order named herewith — a total of twenty- »e out of fifty-eight entries'. jxine (9229, F.

Some good bags have been made by several up river sportsmen during the past week on the preserves in the Rio Vista section, and if reports are true the best record was made by Dr. W. S. Makemson. Charles Kearney and Claude Kagee on the Egbert preserves, that are in charge of Sam Kirbly. These gentlemen visited the ponds early Tuesday morning and Dr. Makemson took the lead, lacking one of killing the limit. The birds were mostly mallard drakes. Charles Kearney came in second with a string of thirty birds, nearly all canvasback, and reports he could have killed more than he did if he had been more familiar with the mysteries of a duck boat. There has been a sad look in Kagee's eyes since the eventful morning, as his string was the smallest and nearly all teal. He feels that his reputation as a hunter has been dealt a severe blow by Makemson and Kearney, and will some day take them out and lose them in the tules. It has been hinted that the large strings of Makemson and Kearney was the result of an exchange of cash from these gentlemen's pockets to Kagee's. but this report cannot be verified, so Kagee's reputation- as a hunter is still questioned. Otto Johnson and Murray Isham report good shooting on the Mallard preserves and showed good bags of ducks as a result of a recent visit. H. W. Butler. Frank Wilson and S. Kirby also made "a good shoot on the Egbert ponds Sunday morning, and L. Miller of the Acme Club reports a good shoot on the Tyron ponds. Ducks and geese are still plentiful in this vicinity and good shooting should be had for some time to come. The tule sections on the mainland between Rio Vista and Clarksburg, a district covering an overflowed marsh shooting territory twenty-five miles or more in length and varying from one to ten miles in width, is one of the best duck shooting territories in this state. Distance from this city and lack of knowledge of the topography of the district has prob- ably been the principal reasons why the district is not visited by more local sportsmen. It is extremely improbable, however, that so good a thing will long remain overlooked by sportsmen. United to Kill Dogs. A dispatch from Seattle, Wash., last week, states that twenty-seven hunting dogs, including Deer- hounds, Setters, etc., have been killed in one week by the ranchers living along Hood's canal. All were valuable. The killing is but the first movement in a- campaign planned by the farmers of that section in an effort to protect their rights and to save thei.' crops from devastation and ruin, it is claimed. For some years farmers there have been worried by hunters, who, getting upon the trail of a deer, would chase the animal across farms and through fields, regardless of the damage done. They have been warned time and again, but the warnings, even the printed and posted ones, have had little apparent effect. The farmers held a big meeting two wreeks ago to discuss the best ways of preventing hunters from running over their cultivated property, {ind the above record is the work of the committee appointed at that time. The farmers and ranchers in the vicinity of Seattle have had the reputation for several years past of holding a deadly animosity against the dogs of sports- men and hunters that were used in that section of country. Whatever their grievances against the dogs and their owners, the remedy is a cruel and illegal one For any and all damage done the trespasser is amenable, either by ;i civil damage suit or a criminal prosecution. It does not reflect any credit upon a community. in lividually or collectively, when illegal, and perforce cowardly methods, of relief are taken against dumb animals. What Do You Know of the Quail? If the average hunter will carefully read "The Bob White and Other Quails of the United States in Their Economic Relations," the work of Sylvester D. Judd. assistant, Biological Survey, United states Department of Agriculture, he will no doubt be sur- prised in ascertain how limited is the general knowl- concerning this dainty and popular Ann i game bird, if every farmer in the United States could he Induced to read this latest bulletin il is safe in say the quail would receive better care through the cold winter months at the h is of the agricul- turists.

A strong delegation of San Francisco Striped Bass Club members enjoyed a very pleasant outing near Rodeo last Sunday. The anglers fished for striped bass from the shore, at a spot known as Dolliver's Point. Luck was indifferent, for the fish were either coy or absent, Nat Mead's three-pounder was high hook for the day. Chef Breidenstein's toothsome clam chowder made the anglers callous to the biggest fish in San Pablo bay. In Wash- near In the Shrimp Law Upheld. A recent decision of the California Supreme Court sustains the law, passed at the last session of the legislature, prohibiting the exportation of shrimps from this state to foreign countries. The Chinese shrimp fishermen combined and se- cured the aid of legal talent to test the constitional- ity of the act. The case was strenuously fought through all he courts with the final result that the embargo on shrimp extermination by the Mongolian bay pirates will remain force. California Greyhounds Won. D. K. Cartter, who coursed a big string of G hounds at the local coursing parks during the season, took the best of his dogs to Chapman, Kl last month and won the American Waterloo, the E Cup and the Mississippi Valley Futurity. In the ter his entries ran one, two, three.

Mr. Cartter left ^ for this city last week with fourteen dogs. He be a number of puppies which performed well. G. Lacy Crawford's Agile Spurt ran third ir Waterloo. . Salmon are reported running in the Tuba river by the thousands. The stream at times seemed to be alive with the fish, while in the shallow places they crowded and splashed about "like a drove of hogs." FOREIGN GAME LOCUSTS. Fresno Game Warden's Report. Game Warden R. E. L. Cobb of Fresno county g.ves the following report of fish and game conditions in his district for the past quarter: ••During August. September and October I went over the principal parts of the county where there are fish and game. I have been through both ranges of mountains. In the Coast range quail are plentiful, and also quite a few deer. As for fish, there are none on account of the lack of water. In the other moun- - tains I found a good hatch of quail and grouse, but the deer seem to be decreasing very fast. I found the first to be scarce, though water was plentiful. If fish are to be planted in the streams we should have a hatcherv on account of the distance of the streams from any shipping point. In the valley things are in good condition. "I find that the fish ladder at Miller's dam is not running any water to speak of and the fish cannot go up. All the fish hatched that try to reach sal- water are going out in the ditches as all of the water is going that way now. In my judgment there shocii hannel cut around the dam for the use of the fish instead of the wooden ladder, and then no matter how Low the water gets the fish could come and go freely. -While a good many ducks were hatched, they are getting scarce, as there has been no cold weather to bring northern ducks this way. "Two men were arrested for seining and one for killing quail out of season. Jack Roads and L. Rogers were examined before A. G. Smith of Laton and were dismissed on the motion of the deputy district attor- ney. Ed Daulton was fined $25 by Judge Beall for killing quail." The one urgent need for the protection of game and fish in this state is the curbing of the foreign man behind the gun. These foreigners are mainly Italians and Japs. Many of the Italians are laborers, with no fixed residence. These fellows generally have a cheap ham- mer breech-loading gun, use black pow-der and brass shells. Some of them use cheap double barreled muz- zle loading guns, thus making a slight saving in the cost of ammunition. The Jap. as a rule, will buy a fairly good grade of gun. The little brown men are mostly all contract laborers, unreliable at that. Both varieties of these human locusts are equally expert in their persistent and systematic work of ex- terminating game and fish, by poaching all the year round. Anything and everything with feathers is game for these vandals; in fact the "Dago" depends upon the gun for most of his meat. In the agricul- tural and fruit growing districts these foreigners do their own cooking, etc. They work for comparatively small pay and their expenditures in any community that is unfortunately burdened with their presence are correspondingly limited. The Japs, for instance, employed in the Belmont and San Mateo marshes take their guns with them daily for the purpose of potting any bird or edible animal that they can bring down. When it is known that thousands of these locusts are carrying on this nefarious warfare on game and song birds the year round, it will readily be under- stood that the amount of damage is of no small degree. As they ravage the fields, so do they with equa. diabolical success deplete the streams and bay tribu- tary waters. There used to be a hue and cry raised in the State against the Chinaman, but whatever his shortcomings, viewed from a Caucasian standpoint, the Chink had one redeeming virtue, he was not a poacher, save possibly in a few instances. A case in point is the territory round about Isleton, Sacramento county. Years ago Andrus island, Twitchell island and the adjacent country afforded most excellent duck, snipe and quail shooting in sea- son. The hunting was enjoyed by many of the sports- men, young and old, of that district. Since the advent of the Italians and Japanese employed by the fruit growers, truck farmers and dairymen, the feathered game of that once prolific region has seemingly melted away under the blighting presence of these locusts, until now there is but a paltry showing of feathers for the incensed sportsmen of that section. Instances are recounted where hen quails have been potted and the chicks left to perish. The fish — striped and black bass, perch, catfish and several other varieties — have also received the deadly attention of these foreigners, so much so that a growing scarcity has become sud- denly noticeable. Isleton is the center of a wealthy farming and dairy- ing community, it has two large hotels always full of traveling men and visiting country residents, a bfink and large stores, and is what is known as a "lively river town." The Japs and Dagoes are not contribu tors, in anything but a small way, to the general busi- ness prosperity. Unfortunately, these foreigners are regarded as a necessary evil, they being about the only material procurable for the purposes for which they are employed. It would be far better if the fish and game of the region were properly protected for the sport of legitimate sportsmen than for the feeding of non-producing and non-resident' foreigners. Sports- men pay liberally, directly and indirectly, for their outings, and observe the game laws; the locusts do not. The general feeling of indignation and resentment of many individuals in that section is so strong against the game law violators referred to that it Striped Bass Angling. w\\] not be surprising if an example were to be made all water fishing of one or more of the poachers who may be caught A Ladies' Kennel Association.

A show would have a corresi ing small entry, for the simple reason that thosi yond the pale of membership would not exhibit, published story going the rounds is merely guff. Hunting Conditions. The continuance of the dry weather has changed shooting conditions materially in most sections. Last year, up to November 10th, the rainfall amounted to twelve inches; this season, not a drop of rain has fallen, save in a very fewr interior localities. The ponds on many preserves are dry and untenanted by ducks. As the lack of water affects duck hunting SO does it also make unfavorable conditions against the quail hunter.

Some good II, however, have been shot on the Country nd Polnl Reyes Sportsmen's Club preserves duiing the past week. On the Uameda marshes, near Alvarado and Mt.

One thorough dressi likely to do more good than a dozen of a perfun kind. A very favorite dressing for a horse afl with mange was composed of equal parts of tar, train oil and turpentine, but the mixture w unpleasant in its appearance and smell that it was mainly confined to the coarser breed working establishments, and it was not ccnsidei be safe for dogs, owing to the extreme suscepti of the animal's skin to the action of turpentin; It was only by chance that it was ascertained the preparation might be safely used for dogs; withstanding its bad reputation, a well known erinary surgeon many years ago was in the ha using it, and affirmed in public that he never the least injury, but on the contrary, the gr benefit from its use in skin disease of a serious in the dog, and sarcoptic mange among them. offensive qualities of the mixture would certainlj der its use impossible in a house, but in any of mange of so severe a character the obvious ( would be to send the animal to a veterinary infir Probably in the early stage of the disease there better dressing than a mixture of flour of si with sweet oil, to form a creamy fluid, which be applied without any risk to the animal, whic probably lick it.

The breeds H) are classed as dual purpose or 8; and beef cattle are Red Polls, Iffn Swiss, Polled Durham, Devon I, some families of the Shorthorn. fj choice of a breed depends so much She personal preference of the pur- |Ler that it is not only unwise but ■ossible for one to dictate to or de- B for another in that regard. Hu- I. nature is a factor in this calcula- § and the breed a man likes best he ■ take the best care of. For the ben- Jof our subscribers, and many others ' H may desire the information, we rtj brief descriptions of the dual- jjiiose breeds which may aid in a fction. sd Polls.— The Red Poll is a very Udsome animal.

Single-standard Polled Durhams have not a clear Shorthorn ancestry, but generally have a cross of the native mooley in them. There are many excellent milking fam- ilies among the Shorthorns and Pollea Durhams, and their breeding qualities are first class. Devon. — -Devons are smaller than any of the other dual-purpose breeds and the least common. They are a neat. tidy cattle, active and vigorous, a rich red in color, have wide branching horns gracefully turned up and of waxy color-, the nose is flesh colored and the eyes are surrounded by a flesh-colored ring. Devons are the most ancient breed of cattle in Great Britain. They are good milkers and make "handy" steers, gen- erally of lighter weight than the steers from the other breeds. — "Wis. Agricul- turist. o TO KEEP MILK SWEET. Mr. W. J. Frazer of the Illinois Ex- periment Station, gives the following suggestions as to how to secure milk from your own cows that will keep sweet for a reasonable length of time: "Keep the cows clean, and do not compel or allow them to wade and live in filth. This means clean yards and clean well bedded stalls. Every thing short of this is positively repulsive and should not be tolerated any longer in a civilized country. "Stop*the filthy habit known as the wetting of teats, by which is meant the drawing of a little milk into the hands with which to wet the teats bb~ fore and during milking, leaving the ex- cess of filthy milk to drop from the hands and teats into the pail. "Wash all utensils clean by first us- ing lukewarm water afterwards wash- ing in warm water and rinsing in an abundance of boiling water then ex- posing until the next using in direct sunlight which is a good sterilizer. "Use milk -pails, cans, etc., for no oth- er purpose but to hold milk. "Xveep out of these utensils all sour or tainted milk even after they have been used for the day. Using them for this purpose at any time infecU, them so badly that no amount of washing is likely to clean them. Bac- teria are invisible and millions can find lodging in the thin 'film of moisture that remains after dishes are apparent- ly clean. '■Brush down the cobwebs and keep the barm free from accumulations of dust and trash. "Whitewash the barn at least once a year." The reasons for the above sugges- tions are as follows: All soured milk is due to the presence of germs. These "are abundant in every stable; more so in a dark stable than in one well ven- tilated, for the reason that sunlight kills the germs; more abundant in a filthy stable than in a clean one. They are found on the udder of a cow and on the hair. They are found in the teat itself, where they establish them- selves in little colonies. Hence when the farmer milks on his hands and wets the teats he is not only getting a col- ony of germs in the milk started but he gets with it a solution of whatever filth there may be on the teats. The ■ very first milk should be milked on the ground and not in the pail. Wash the germs out of the teats by two or three motions, letting these go on the floor. Germs harbor in the pails, hence the necessity for absolute cleanliness. A pail that held sour milk will be admir- ably stocked with germs, which even warm water cannot remove immediate- ly. Give horses a variety of food. While oats will continue to be a standard food for horses, yet a small allowance of linseed meal and corn fodder will also be relished and give excellent re- sults. Castor oil well rubbed in twice daily for a week will remove warts on cattle. The animals suffer no pain. Try it. McKINNEY FILLY FOR SALE.

Dear Sirs:— I have used a bottle of 'Save-the- Horse," and I consider it the best thing that as yet I have been able to obtain for what it was intended, it having entirely cured a very valuable mare which has been lame since last September with a sprained ankle. We had her blistered twice aDd laid up for two months, bat it did no good. I was just aboutready to breed her when I gave it a trial; she is now entirely sound. Yours respectfully. ALBERT E. BAKER.

One of my horses went lame from side or shell bones on both feet, which extended entirely around the quarter, and was laid up for about thrfe months i used two bottles of "Save-tbe- Horse," and the horse is perfectly sound. I have driven her over paved roads, and one day gave her a sixty-mile drive and she never showed the least particle of lameness. The growths have nearly all disappea- ed. I have owned horses for years, used them to build railroads and in all kinds of contract work, and have used remedies, blisters firing and electricity, but never saw anything take hold and produce such results as ''Save-tbe- Horse" in this case.

It was so bad I had concluded to shoot her, but was persuaded to breed her and turn her out. I bred her, but in- stead of turning her out used your "oave-the- Horse." In three weeks I was more than sur- prised to see the swelling disappear, and the remedy produced a complete cure She is as good as ever.

Savage of Minneapolis, has had his THE GRIEVANCE CF JOHN GILMER SPEED has been printed in book form by McClure, Phillips & Co. of New York, under the title "The Horse in America." Mr. Speed's particular grievance, which he airs to the fullest extent in this volume, is the Ameri- can trotting horse, and he attacks it with all the fierceness and nearly as much judgment as Don Quixote displayed when making his famous onslaught against the windmill. I have read Mr. Speed's work from cover to cover and can not rid myself of the idea that it has been prepared as a brief to advocate the ;aft set on lowering the record made by sta^Pojn^^ purchase of Mr. Randolph Huntington's stock of Clay- Arabian horses by the United States Government.

Several times this year Dan Patch had tried , lower it, but until last Saturday the best he could ' was to equal it. Mr. Savage kept Dan at Mem- -iis, however, and waited for a favorable time which as offered Saturday. Conditions were ideal, there jing no wind to speak of and the temperature and ■ack being just right for a horse that was to be ■nt against a world's record. It has been the opinion ! horsemen that when all the conditions were right le mighty Dan Patch would be able to pace a mile ?tter than 1:59% out by himself, his record of 1:5514 a runner in front leading to this conclusion, few thought he would be able to clip a second DI The frequent statement made in the volume that it is a great pity the Government has not taken over all of Mr. Huntington's horses "so as to perpetuate this new and useful type" is my reason for classifying this work as a brief. The frequent assertion that there is a large demand for the type of horses Mr. Hunting- ton has been breeding; coupled with the further state- ment made on page 145 that Mr. Huntington "pro- duces with an absolute certainty" two classes of as admirable horses as Mr. Speed has ever seen, would cause the average man to wonder why Mr. Hunting- ton should not be able to endow a farm to perpetuate this wonderful breed of horses, and immortalize his name, with the money received from the annual sales of. his stock. Surely a man who can produce "the highest type of horse"' with "absolute certainty" need not appeal to anybody, not even a government, for pecuniary assistance. Mr. Speed's book, reads in many a quarter from Star Pointer's time, but he man- otner ways like the argument of a lawyer in a bad Case— he abuses the other side. His scoffing at the evidence on which the breeding of Hambletonian 10 is -established, and his blind acceptance as eternal truth of evidence not half as authentic, but which he claims settles the breeding of other horses, makes it bear these ear marks. The best parts of Mr. Speed's volume are those in quotation marks. There m !■ 5ed to accomplish this wonderful feat, although the patches report that he was very tired at the finish, e was driven by Hersey who cerainly should be pen credit' for being one of the best trainers, con- tioners and drivers in the country, as he has handi- ly Dan Patch in a manner that reflects nothing but Ijredit on his abilities. The first quarter of this last nd most wonderful performance of Dan Patch was are several accounts of old time races copied fron,, lade in 30 seconds', the second in 29 seconds, the ih-d in 29, and the fourth in 30 seconds. He was ac- jmpanied by two runners, but neither was permitted o race in front of him any. part of the mile. He was red at the finish, but within twenty minutes after uld have repeated his performance. Dan Patch now s about every world's record for a pacing horse. early writers on turf matters that are very interesting. While the volume costs a dollar and a half, I advise every man who can spare the money to purchase and read it. After doing this get the issue of the American Horse Breeder of October IT, and read Arthur Caton Thomas's review of it. esnecially that portion of it which deals with the Arabian horses that Mr. Speed calls the Nejdee. It is about the most entertaining thing in contemporary horse literature. Mr. Thomas's to make Mr. Speed's book one of rare humor, and it has accom- plished this to a certainty. ROSE DALE STOCK FARM SALE. MANY PERSONS ARE AFFLICTED with a craze ||>r riding at a high rate of speed at any place and at criticism was the only thing needed r^rvy time that suits their convenience, no matter hether it interferes with the rights or convenience C others. Some of these people drive horses, and thers ride in automobiles, but they are all of that ,iass who have- little or no respect for law or the jmfort of their fellows. If they feel like riding at a igh rate of speed, it makes no difference to them hether they are on a country road or a crowded c.ty , loroughfare, the horse is put to his limit or the ' irottle of the machine is pulled wide open and they ash wildly in the direction they wish to go without iring a continental whether there is anybody or any- ,-iing in their path. "Get out of the way or get run ver" is their command, and happily for them the lajority'of people give them the road and only utter I mild protest. There should be a united effort on le part of all citizens to see that the laws limiting le speed of vehicles on public roads is strictly en- 1 'weed. There are race tracks and other places where nose who desire to test the speed of their horses or 'ehicles can indulge in the sport to their hearts' con- •nt, but the public thoroughfares are not the places >r racing. Magistrates can do no better service to ^eir constituents than making the fine for exceeding J i ie speed limits a heavy one in every instance.

There were a number of ladies in attendance and several were bid- ders." The sale was a success in every way. The stock was not in the best of show shape but sold readily at an average of $134, which was more than was ex- pected. The sales were as follows: Bay gelding, five years old, by Stfl Whips, dam by Daly, $90. Bay filly, two years old, by "Washington McKinney, dam by Daly 2:15, $100. Bay gelding, five years old, by St. "Whips, dam by Daly, $110 Chestnut mare, seven years old, by Daly, dam by Steinway, $135.

The officials of the California Polo and Pony Racing Association have come to the aid of another worthy charity. They gave a successful meet recently at San Mateo for the Armitage Orphanage and are now pre- paring one for the benefit of the Youths' Directory, to be held at Ingleside race course. The directory receives neither city, county nor State aid, but de- pends for support on voluntary contributions. The races will all be interesting and will present the sport in its highest class. The feature of the first day's card will be the return match at half a mile between Rudolph Spreck- els' Ulctma and Charles W. Clark's Midlove. On the second day the features will be the race for ponies nominated by ladies. The nominator of the winner will receive a gold bracelet and the nominator of the second a gold brooch. The rider of the winner will receive a silver cup, while the last man in will be rewarded with an alarm clock. The list of events follows: Thursday, November 30 — Two furlongs, top. weight 165 pounds, 2 pounds allowed for each ^-inch under 14 hands 2 inches; prize cup or purse, value to the winner $25, to the second $15.

Phoenix, Arizona, Nov. 11. 1905. ler and Sportsman — I enclose list of entries ■I to our stakes, which closed on the 1st inst. nk it makes a pretty good showing for a new ■ ■ | artii i. p]y lucky in the number ■and class of entries to our free-for-all pace. The Los Angeles Association received four entries to this cl as we received twelve, a possible nine of which can start. In su'i a fin< list, we have ; ' 3 pacers, thus Ag the free-for-all pacers an opportunity to ring the week. : 22 and 2:10 trots failed to fill and they have red off. We have aged the 2:25 trot to a 2:24 class, and the :.:):, trot to a 2.14 class. You will also notice from the ram for purses, which close on the 23d, that we have made some slight changes In the order of races — the changes be- ing designed to give those desiring to start their ■ during the week t little more time be- tween races. Everything at our grounds is progressing rapidly to completion, and our tracks are getting to a feather edge. AH the trainers working here agree that our mile track will compare very favorably with the best in the country, and that by the time our meeting opens our track will be as fast as the fastest. There are over sixty horses now on the grounds, and we are rushing the work on sixty extra stalls, which will be ready in a few days. The horses are being edged up a little, and there were quite a number of miles well 2 : 15 this week. Florence Wilton has paced a mile in 2:09%. and Billings, Col. Green's three-year old, has paced one in 2:11%. A farmer from out in the country made the boys open their eyes a little last week by bringing in a green young pacer that had never been trained, and driving him a quarter in 30% seconds, the first time he. ever was on a track. Arlie Frost arrived from Albuquerque, N. M., this week, with eight head, among them being Stranger O. 2:08%, Toung Hal 2:10%, Helena Morgan (3) 2:14%, and a promising Zolock colt. Arlie expressed great surprise when he arrived at finding such a fine plant here, with such good tracks. One feature of our plant that some trainers find very advantageous is having a good, regulation half-mile track in addi- tion to the mile track. This enables horses to be worked and prepared for campaigning over the one or two-lap rings next season. We are going to send a personal representative over to Los Angeles to look after the details of providing for shipping horses over here at the close of their meeting, and the railroad companies have agreed to give us a rate of one-way charge for the round trip on horses from Los Angeles, w^hich will make it only cost about 520 per horse for the round trip, and to make the run in twenty-four hours or less. We are now arranging with the Arms Palace Horse Car Com- pany to furnish palace cars enough to_ accomodate all the horses that are to come over. We will aslo have a one-fare round trip passenger rate from Los An- geles to Phoenix for the fair. Tours very truly, W. N. TIFFANY, Sunerintendent of Speed. List of Stake Entries.

One of the old-time trainers and race drivers of California crossed over the great divide when William McGraw died at Vallejo one day last week. For twenty-five or thirty years Mr. McGraw was a promi- nent trainer and driver on California tracks and took part in some of the greatest contests ever seen on the Pacific slope. He owned, trained and raced that well- known trotter Silas Skinner 2:17. also the well-known mare, Lilly Stanley 2:17%, now a member of the Great Brood Mare list. For a number of years he conducted a livery business in Napa, and while there trained and raced Lily Stanley for Frank and Nathan Coombs, and became the owner of Silas Skinner. He moved from Napa to Santa Rosa, where he placed Silas Skinner in the stud, and resided there several years. For a number of years past he resided at Vallejo, having returned to his trade of blacksmith- ing and holding a position in the Navy Yard. While residing at Vallejo he took a McKinney gelding to drive on the road and train at the trot for Prof. E. P. Heald of San Francisco. This gelding began to show speed and was sold a few months ago to Mr. J. W. Zibbell & Son of this city, who raced him suc- cessfully this year under the name of Adam G. He took a record of 2:11% in a winning heat and is con- sidered one of the greatest prospects now in Cali- fornia. Mir. McGraw was a born horseman, and in his younger days was reckoned one of the leading trainers on the coast. For several years previous to his death he was in poor health,, but continued at his work at the Navy Yard until a few weeks ago. He leaves to mourn his loss an invalid wife and a son and daughter. There are only about twenty horses and young colts and fillies catalogued for the Woodland Stock Farm sale to be held at Fred H. Chase & Co.'s next Tuesday evening, but they are choice ones in looks as well as breeding. This is the first of annual sales which are to be held by this farm, and are expected to make a reputation for the farm if they are trained and raced. Will G. Durfee, the well-known Los Angeles trai makes the extraordinary announcement that at Aji cultural Park, Los Angeles, on Friday morning, 10:30 o'clock, during the big harness meeting to held there next week, he will offer for sale at auci the following horses: Jupiter B. 2:12 by Gen. Beverley, Bellemont 2:17% by Zombro, Cuate 2:17% by McKinney, He Dare, trial 2:15 by Zombro, Great Peter, pacer, t 2:11% by Peter the Great, Lee Burns, pacer, t 2:12%, and a number of other promising young hor Here is an opportunity to get some rare good o) in training and all ready to step on the road or r next year, and at your own price. While Jupiter B. 2:12 and Cuate 2.17% are owned by the same parties, Mr. Durfee has had tr hooked together and believes they will make the fa" est team of pony trotters in the world. They di like one horse and could show a 2:10 gait toget the first time hooked up They do not pull a pou need no boots and are absolutely sound. Either beat 2:10, and wall be good in their classes on circuit. Bellemont, the three-year-old Zombro filly is grand prospect and a royally bred one. She won- two-year-old trotting division of the Breeders' Fut ity last year, and was second to North Star in Occident Stake this year. She was short of \ when she started in the last named stake and recer worked a mile in 2:11% at Los Angeles, showing to be one of the very fastest three-year-old trott of 1905. She is out of a mare by Altamont, and one of the best bred fillies on the Coast. She show a mile in 2:10 and is one of the best prospe for a Grand Circuit winner. Lee Burns is a five-year-old green pacer by Bol Burns, first dam by Red Wilkes, second dam by N wood, and can step a quarter in 30 seconds any ti] He is very steady and goes without hopples. Great Peter is one of the grandest bred horses California. He is. by Peter the Great 2:07%, sire the great Sadie Mac, and is grandly bred on his dai side. He is extremely speedy, having shown a ti of 2:11%, and is a most beautifully turned yoi horse with one of the richest colored coats any < ever saw. Helen Dare is a green trotter by Zombro and c< sidered by competent judges to be one of the best Southern California. She is very handsome and perfectly gaited mare and trotted the last three-qu; ters of a mile in 2:15 in 1:39%, showing that she 1 gameness as well as a high rate of speed. There will be many horsemen in Los Angeles n< week to attend the harness race meeting, and n( should miss this opportunity of attending a sale wh> sound horses with known speed are to be sold. 1 sale will be held in the forenoon of Friday, beginni at 10:30. ff ■ ■ ■ ■ .- !

Whips, third dam Addie, dam of Woodnut 2:16 etc., and grandam of Arion 2:07%, by Hasbrouc Hambletonian, fourth dam by Harry Clay, will sold at the Woodland Stock Farm sale in this c next Tuesday evening. The owner says: Individua we do not believe there are many finer colts in Ce fornia. He is large, smoothly turned and looks 1 a trotter. Is good-headed and good-gaited, and wr he has had no regular training, gives every indicat: of developing into a very fast colt, as while be: broken he has shown a 2:50 gait and can step cli to a forty gait. His individuality, with his breedi should make him a very desirable stallion, and stake engagements being added, he should be a des able piece of property. When led into the sale ri he will show for himself. His stake engagements the Kentucky Futurity $21,000. the Hartford Futur 510,000, the Horse Review Stake $10,000, the Westi Horseman Stake $7,000, the Breeders' Futurity $7,0 and the Occident and Stanford Stake, which gether will aggregate $60,000. John Splan has purchased for $12,000 the trott stallion Harrison Wilkes for export to Europe. T Review saj^s : Harrison Wilkes is1 probably one the best horses that Splan has yet sent abroad, is a brown stallion by Brignoli Wilkes 2:14% — Ber James, by Dictator, and at the beginning of 1905 1 a record of 2:21%. He was raced at the early mi track meetings in New England, winning regula' and taking a record of 2:11% over the slow track old Saugus, which broke the record for the com He appeared on the Grand Circuit later, and at Pr< idence won a grand race of split heats, beating Le< ardo 2:08% and the sensational Deloree 2:09% £ lowering his record to 2:11%, in which time he trot all three of his winning heats. He finished his ca paign on the half-mile tracks, his last race being t> weeks ago, at Baltimore, where he won a $1,000 sta It was here that Splan purchased him, for a lc price, for export. His^complete score for the seasi was eleven wins in thirteen starts. Harrison Will' is a rarely good individual as wrell as a fast and ga ( horse, and should prove a star across the pond. - ( 1 : I lis *.■.:> -.: :_" 1 A bill will be introduced in the next Congress ft- bidding betting at the Bennings track, which is } the District of Columbia.

Reservation, a 9 to 10 favorite, it home first by a scant neck in the last race, mile d a sixteenth, while Lady Goodrich beat Hugh cGowan a length for second money. McBride rather rried off the riding honors of the afternoon, with le win and two seconds to his credit, Radke, the oy who cut a wide swath in the Middle West this ason, his first as a rider, made his bow to the pub- c on San Primo, who was a fair fourth in the first ice. Aubuchon, Rice, Goodchild, Davisson, Schade. )ung Battiste and E. Robinson, also new to the local icing public, made their first appearance here. W. mith rode a nice race on Watercure, Loague like- ise on Miller's 'Daughter, while Willie Davis had to 3 his prettiest to land the principle event with San icholas. * * * * * * The features of Monday's racing (which was fully to Saturday's standard of excellence) were the 9 of Avonalis, Judge Denton and Cloudlight, at iry pleasant prices for the investors; Epicures good lowing in the seven furlongs. High Chancellor's ilendid performance in the mile and a sixteenth irse, which he won in a gallop in 1.46% with 112 Junds on, and the Lady Rohesia's decided improve- ent in the last race, which she won by four lengths ith utmost ease. Radke rode his first winner on iolera and Joseph's Bright Phoebus filly, Cloudlight, id Aubuchon had the mount on The Lady Rohesia. vonalis, the black filly, that won the first race, is imp. St. Avonicuss the St. Simon horse owned by late Charles L. Fair and later the property of the .e Caesar Young. It looks as if the good looking se would get plenty of speed, and the St. Simons the faculty, generally, of "going on." Judge enton and High Chancellor, winners of Monday, ere owned by Louis A. Bonsack, the young St. Louis irfman. who seems to have hia flyers in first-class lape. Washington, as black as the proverbial ace ' spades, had the mount om Judge Denton, who was : odds of 12 to 1. The Judge had to be hustled hard • beat Ed Lilburn out. Lilburn is an own brother to loudlight, winner of the fifth event of the day. Tuesday's racing was very good, the finishes in iree of the six events being exceedingly close. The tion of the session was Succeed's success at odds ood as 40 to 1 (30 at the' close). McBride got the lalock filly off well on her stride, and Silver Sue luld never collar her. Isolation was a poor favorite i this race. Royal Rogue woke up and showed his d time speed by beating Titus by a head in 1:07% >r five and one-half furlongs, Duelist (30 to 1) third. Hus had been played from 5 to 1 down to 8 to 5, u and the bookies thus had a very "narrow squeak/' Princess Titania, well-played in the fifth, got away flymg and landed by less than a length from the Schreiber horse Deutchland, a 20 to 1 shot, while Tocolaw, the favorite, was a poor third under a poor ride from Minder, who also showed to poor advantage on Hugh McGowan, favorite in the last event, w.oh by Lady Goodrich in clever fashion. C. C. McCafferty arrived early in the week from Latonia with the local idol of the turf, Dr. Leggo. Delagoa, M. A. Powell and others- with winning ways. The Doctor is declared to have "rounded to," and if so, no horse on the local scene can take his measure. Tommy Griffin'sJ big six string should reach Emery- ville about Monday, as he left Aqueduct Wednesday night. John F. Schorr and wife arrived from New York last Sunday night. Mr. S.'s good horse Ananias went lame and he had very poor luck all around, it i/ said. Next week we should see Bullman, Taylor, Joe Kelly, and Ralph Murphy in the saddle. The latter is under contract to Billy Roche, can "do" 105 pounds, and is a clever rider who has "made good" wherever he has ridden. The excellent jockey, Frank Prior, who has been under contract to "Boots" Durnell for the past two seasons, is now under Billy Cross' management. Prior can "do" 109 pounds. W. O. B. M*acdonough has just purchased a fine filly by Compute (son of the great Hanover and the fam- ous racer and producer Reckon) out of a mare of the Bend Or family. She should be immensely valuable in the stud, as the Hanover and Bend Or blood has been "on top" in America for many years past. Hanover led all our stallions for four seasons, while imp. Ben Strome by Bend Or, led in 1903. Harry Robson's horses, also those of E. L. Fitz- gerald, arrived last Tuesday. In the Robinson string is Eduardo (a rare good one), Lid Silver. McGinnis, Youth, Ada N., and Pierce J., the last named too well known in these parts. Mr. Fitzgerald owns Pentagon, Sand and Mildred Grist, the first named two being good winners on the Canadian circuit. Walter Adams, a clever jockey, is a late arrival from the East. He rides at about 110 pounds. Mrs. Garnett Ferguson has named a fast yearling filly by St. Simonian from a Spendthrift mare Tetraz- zini, in honor of the great opera singer. Charles Kerr,, the Bakersfield breeder, saw San Nicolas, a horse of his breeding, win the Opening Handicap Saturday. The Kerr yearlings by imp. Kismet, Herald and Cromwell will probably be sold here shortly. E. J. ("Lucky") Baldwin is lying in a darkened room at Lane Hospital, this city, and it is feared that he will lose his eyesight completely withini the next month. Mr. Baldwin was one of the first men to ever send a string of race horses from California to the eastern side of the Rockies to battle for the coin, and for years his string cut a big figure on the turf of this country. East and West. He is even now the owner of the largest string in the West, having close to fifty horses in training at this time. When Grin- stead w^as at the height of his glory as a sire, Mr. Baldwin was second as a breeder to no man in Amer- ica. At Santa Anita, a principality in Los Angeles county of over 50,000 acres, he bred Volante, Santiago. Silver Cloud, Gano, Wheel of Fortune, Cleopatra, Gris- mer, Lucky B.. Rey El Santa Anita, Mission Belle. Goliah, Rey. del Carreres, Cruzados, Santa Ana, and many others, and he campaigned Los Angeles and Miss Ford, two of the greatest race mares in turf history, also the Champion Emperor of Norfolk. THE HORSE'S TEETH AFTER EIGHT YEARS. After the age of eight years, the evidence which is afforded by the wear of the incisor teeth is much less definite and trustworthy than it is prior to that age, and an opinion has to be based on general observa- tion, and in any case is not supposed to be absolutely accurate. The expression "about nine," or "nine or ten years old," will be used very frequently, and sometimes a good judge will decline to be- limited to a year or two in cases where the conditions of the incisor teeth indicates that they have been subjected to exceptional wear from crib biting or some other cause. At nine years old the marks in the ventral incisors, which at eight years are triangular, become more rounded in form, and are nearer the posterior bounda- ries of the teeth. The corner incisors are still more square than they were a year before, and the tusk is conical and blunted. At nine years old the marks in the central incisors, are commonly reduced to small round spots and are quite close to the posterior edges of the teeth, which are beginning to assume the triangular form. As a matter of fact only the upper corner incisors need be consulted for evidence of age, from ten to thirty, and the only mark to be loked for is a dark line or groove which commences to appear on the outer surface of each top corner incisor immediately below the gum, at ten years of age. Careful observation of the upper corner incisors at ten years old will reveal the presence of a slight depression extending from the edge of the gum down- wards about an eighth of an inch. This depression is really the end of a groove which exists in the fang of the tooth, and it is brought into view by the growth of the tooth, and the decrease in the depths of the colar cavity in which the tooth is lodged. As these processes go on, year by year, more of the groove is seen, while the constant wear of the cut- ting surfaces of the incisors bring them nearer to the groove, and in about eleven years from its first ap- pearance, it reaches from the gum to the cutting edges of the incisors. At the same time it will be seen by a close inspection of the top of the incisor, close to the gum, that the groove is at an end; there is, in fact, no more of it to appear. The further growth of the tooth will expose the perfectly smooth surface of the fang and the combined effects of the wear at the bottom and the growth from the top will finally lead to the obliteration of the groove entirely. This system is really the only method of judging the age above ten years worthy of consideration. But it is quite certain that to use the system effectively, experience on an extensive scale is necessary. Clearly success depends entirely on keen observation of the condition of the groove in the corner incisors in ref- erence to the gum at the top of the tooth, and the cutting surface of the bottom. The whole length of the tooth must be mapped out in imagination and a certain length of groove marked for every year, thus allowing ten years for the groove to reach the whole length of the tooth. The fact of it having reached the middle of the tooth will be evidence that the age is about fifteen or sixteen. If the tooth be divided Into four equal parts the extension of the groove to the first line will mean between twelve and thirteen, and to the third line between seventeen and eighteen years of age. In adopting the foregoing descriptive method the observer is left to exercise his ingenuity, and it is a very interesting inquiry when an aged horse whose age is known to the owner comes under observation. It will be seen that no special skill is required in the application of this test. It is not necessary to secure the horse in any way or even to open his mouth. The corner of the upper lip must be raised sufficiently to bring the top corner incisor into view. The rest is a mere. matter of calculation. When the groove has reached the bottom of the incisors and the horse has obtained the ripe age of twenty-one years further observation must be directed to the top of the groove. Certain exceptions to the normal development of the teeth and some irregulari- ties and accidents may be expected to occur during the period of temporary and permanent dentition, and from time to time various degrees of constitu- tional disturbance will be observed, which are, how- ever, invariably referred to other causes, or left with- out any explanation. The process of "teething" in the human being is always estimated as having an importan* bearing on the health of the sufferer, but there is a novelty in the idea that horses or other of the lower animals experience any inconvenience from the eruption of, or changes in, the teeth, although it is known that these changes take place on a much more extensive scale than they do in the higher ani- mal. During the third year of a horse's life twelve new- teeth, eight molars and four incisors, are cut, and in the course of the fourth year there are sixteen new teeth, four incisors, eight molars and four tusks, which are all advancing at the same time, causing, as a matter of necessity, considerable irritation and requiring more attention than is ever given during these periods. It is surprising that no investigation has been made into the diseases which are incidental to the process of teething in the horse and it is not, there- fore, possible to refer to any specified disorders which are met with during the third and fourth years; but irregular appetites, refusal of certain kinds of food, dropping half masticated food (quidding) from the mouth, cough and sore throat, "lampas," and general loss of condition may quite consistently be referred to irritation and fever induced by cutting the teeth. Disease in the structure of the teeth, so common in man, is rare in the horse, but not unknown to the observant veterinarian who has looked for it. Injury to the fang of a molar in the bottom jaw has led to the formation of areolar abscess, which has defied all kinds of treatment, because the real nature of the dis- order has not been suspected and a dead tooth has been allowed to remain in its cavity. One of the most disastrous accidents which can happen to a horse's teeth is the loss of one of the molars from any cause, when the occurrence has not been observed. The result is the growth of the tooth which formerly came in regular contact with the ab- sent one, but it is now unchecked by any persistent pressure, and therefore continues to grow until it prevents proper closure of the mouth and renders mastication impossible. The real difficulty in regard to dental irregulari- ties is the frequent absence of any suspicion on the part of the owner of the horse out of condition as to the cause of the derangement being in any way con< nected with the teeth, and his consequent neglect to call in veterinary assistance. W. R. GILBERT. John Shepard, the Boston amateur reinsman, thought the ownership of Ethel's Pride 2.06% brought the fullest measure of pleasure when she won the Transylvania but recently he found out that this was not so. He went out to the Readville track, hooked the daughter of Directum up with Promise 2:10, and discovered that he had a perfect pole horse in his latest purchase. Then he hitched her to a single wagon to give her a slow mile. Going up the back stretch the temptation to step her a bit was too much and he clucked at her and she was off like a quarter horse. At the six-furlong post he snapped his watch and stopped it when he reached the wire. The timer showed 29^4 seconds, which he could hardly believe was correct until one of the rail birds shouted "I caught that last quarter in 29 seconds."

Secretary Henry Wade, of the Canadian Horse Breeders' Association, has been requested by the Cana- dian Live Stock Commissioner to start a register for thoroughbred and standard bred horse=. Mr. Wade's idea is to work with the American Stud Book and the American Trotting Register. In other words, he does not propose to set up a Canadian Stud Book for these breeds, but will start a register for them. The On- tario Jockey Club has been keeping a register of foals in Ontario, but MJr. "Wade proposes to embrace a wider area and take in the whole of Canada.

Many horsemen believe that this statement is true, not only for one, but for all the big shows held all over the country during every sea- son of the year. It is a great drawback to the trot- ting horse breeding industry of the country that man- agers of the leading horse shows do not require the full breeding of all "and every horse entered for com- petition, and thereby help the breeding public to get s )me knowledge as to the best method of producing high class animals. Now that Phoenix, Arizona, has a first class mile track and will give an annual meeting in December, it may develop into a great record breaking and rec- ord making point for trotters and pacers. Draft horses are in great demand and prices are soaring skyward. Last week a Los Angeles buyer visited Rio Vista and purchased six spans of drafters the lowest price for a span being §550 and the highest $600. Good draft mares are very scare in California and where the draft horses are to come from to supply the demand of the near future is a question hard to answer. The sale of the Billings horses marks the retirement of Mr. Billings from the matinee turf for a year and possibly two. The report which was sent out from New York last summer that he was to forsake the 5 horse for motor vehicles he did not consider worth denying but before he sailed for Europe he remarked that after his European business was fin- ished he would come back and stock up with a fresn lot of trotters and pacers. Every patrcn of the turf is hoping that he will then take up professional racing, and many look for him to do so and think he will find the entering wedge the futurity engagements of the John A.

In spite of rain that fell for two days previous to tho opening1 day, a program of excellent racing was. given by the San Bernardino Driving- Club at its first meeting, which opened on Thursday, November 9th, and con- tinued three days. This meeting was made possible by the enterprise of four of the leading horse breeders of this vicinity, viz: John A. Cole, G. W. Prescott, S. B. Wright and Geo. H. Parker, associated with A. W. Bruner of Los Angeles, who is striving hard to place the breeding and racing of horses on a high level. The magnificent meeting at Los Angeles in July and this one mark a new era in the sport in this section of the State. Owing to the rain the track ■was heavy and slow, but was pronounced by the trainers to be the equal when in shape of any in the East. Several from the north were so pleased that they contemplate returning here to winter, the alti- tude being a bar to the foggy, chilly forenoons so prevalent along the ocean shore. The program on the opening day consisted of three faces, the first of which was the 2:12 class pace with seven starters. After the mare from the far north, 'Vinnie Mann, had taken the first heat, the Los An- geles pacer Glen won three straight heats and first money. The time seemed slow for the class of horses but the condition of the track must be considered. It was a good contest, and every man and horse U|( seemed doing everything possible to win. and when they appeared all necks were craned to catch a glimpse of the kings of American turf. Haze! Patch 2:02% drew the pole. The track was sticky, and slow, but the $700 first money and no entrance out "looked good" to the owners, and proved a great stimulant to the drivers to hurry up on the turns and stretches, and get around as soon as possible, which they did. Hazel Patch won, time 2:08 flat, with thou- sands of eager eyes watching every motion. They got the magic word "Go" on the third score. Hazel Patch set the pace with Zolock hanging on the out- side on even terms. In this position they quickly swung by the eighth pole, reaching the quarter in 32 seconds; down the back stretch they stepped like a pole team, reaching the half in 1:02%. On they sped to the five-eighths pole, neither being able to shake the other off; the three-quarter pole was close at hand, but still Hazel Patch had not gained, both going to the limit of their speed, neither making any false moves. The frrends of each horse by this time felt one or the other must soon weaken, the three- quarters being reached in 1:35, but on they flew to- ward their breathless admirers. Zolock, faltering slightly, felt the tingle of the whip, but Hazel Patch proved the most lasting, and won the heat in 2:08, about 20 feet ahead. Considering the track the time was equal to about 2:05^4. A cheer went up for the winner, but it did not have the soiil-stirring echo it would have carried had Zolock wrested victory from the Eastern horse. Darkness was closing on the scene of the mighty struggle; the great white capped snow peaks of Mt. San Bernardino, and Gray Rock, had gleams of sun- shine tossed back from the Pacific's rounded bosom, but for Zolock there was no ray of sunshine. He had done his best to retain the supremacy of the ■.--.■ D John Caldwell 2:09 v, I mer at San Bernardino Six trotters faced the starter in the 2:14 class and this proved a long drawn out contest where every heat was fought for by every horse that had the speed to get up in front at any stage of the game. After three heats had been decided, with three differ- ent horses winners, the race had to be postponed til the following day, whn it was again a see-saw d four heats more were required to find the winner, ich turned up in the old gray campaigner Rozelle. I the finishes were under the whip and the best efforts of each driver were put forth to get to the wire first. The matinee cup race for 2:30 class pacers was won by Harry H. Jr , in straight heats, but not without a struggle, as both owners were very desirous of pos- sessing the trophy and drove hard for it. The second day opened with a much improved track, and there was great enthusiasm over the finish of the 2:14 trot, the 2:20 trot that had seven starters, and the match between Hazel Patch 2:02% and Zolock 2:0514. The first heat of the 2:20 trot was won by Billy Dooley after a desperate struggle with Hank in 2:20, while the second heat resulted in a hot con- test between Eonita and Homeway, the latter win- ning in 2:19^. Bonita then went to the front and made it three straight for first money. She is a small brown mare by Knight, dam by Golddust Jr., has a most level head, and was the most beautifully gaited of any horse on the track. If nothing happens her she will yet equal the speed of her near relative, the fast pacer and trotter Anaconda. There were nine entries in the 2:20 pace and all started, the race going in straight heats to McKinney's son Welcome Mac, who was driven by Walter Maben and given a record of 2.12^ in the third heat. Never in the history of San Bernardino county has two such champions met as Hazel Patch and Zolock. Coast which was all any horse could do. A strong wind began early in the rorenoon of the third day. It cast a gloom over all outdoor under- takings, and spread discomfort to the management of the races, but the programs for the day were faith- fully carried out. The second heat of the great special was a sky- rocket exhibition. The track had greatly improved but the wind was a belligerent factor. On the second score the champions got an even start, Zolock' carried his Eastern competitor to the quarter in 31 second, to the half in 1.00%, but this clip was too much for him to keep up. He faltered, and finished second in 2:10. The next heat was a sore disappointment to all his friends, being without speed from wire to wire. Time 2:11J4. The 2:09 trot aroused great interest, as the spec- tators were anxious to see how Jupiter B. would ap- pear when he met the three cracks that have only just returned from the Grand Circuit The majority thought Caldwell would win, which he did in straight heats, best time 2:10^, exxcellent for the track. Jupiter B. got second money and showed that he will be a 2:10 trotter in another year. AH the finishes in this race were close and exciting. Daedalion, hero of many a good race this year, added another to his score of wins by taking the 2.09 pace from a high class field in stra'ght limits. He is a 2:06 pacer sure. The meeting closed with a cup race for matinee horses and was won by Conchita, a daughter of Zolock, who took a record of 2:29, giving him another standard performer. The judges during the meeting were Messrs. John A. Cole. R T. Curtis, and George W. Prescott. Sec- retary A. W. Bruner acted as starter and made a success of getting the hordes away. The timers were Geo. H. Parker. Geo. .W. Parsons, William Rourke, and Mr. E. J. Gilbert acted as Clerk of the Course. The summaries: Thursday, November 9. Pacing, 2:12 class; purse $000.

POLO IN THE SOUTH. Polo bids fair to be the winter sport in this section of the country, for interest in the pastime has been re- vived to such an extent that not only are the south- ern teams to play on the southern circuit, but the northern teams as well will be ■ represented here- abouts. It is announced the Burlingame team and the San Rafael aggregation will send a string of ponies to the Santa Barbara and Riverside tournaments. After the meet at the Channel city in January the 'strings will go to Riverside, where the Mackey cup will be the prize. This cup was won last year by the English team, but will be contested for again and th" winners will hold the trophy £dr a year. The last match will be at San Diego, where a new challenge cup has been offered and where the added feature of pony races, genllenu-ii riders only, will be introduced. The Southern California Polo an! Puny Racing Association has a membership of live teams — Santa Barbara, Riverside. Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Coronado, The Ocean Park Riding Club offered to come into the association, but the proposition was re- jected on the ground that the club owned no horses and could net ride them if it did.

Wm Ellery's good Collie bitch Southport Sphinx recently whelped a litter of eight (3 dogs) to his Southport Philosopher. Both dam and sire are well known to the local fancy and were imported by Mr Ellery this year. J I Sparrow reports expected litters from several good bitches recently served by the Silkwood Kennels' stud dog Croydon Czar from an artistic point of view, are no doubt the causes of his popularity, as such eccentricities of form are not found in any other animal. At the same time, the modern Bulldog is kindly and affectionate, with a peculiar method of pushing his huge head into the hands of his master that is particularly endearing. Perhaps in no other animal is there a better represen- tation of natural habits and disposition being changed by its surroundings than in the Bulldog. Originally used for a brutal purpose, his savageness and fer- ocity were encouraged, with the result so well known and of which so many stories are told. With the dis- continuance of bull-baiting, he has been kept as a companion, his ferocity being allowed to remain dor- mant for generations, until it has now pretty well dis- appeared altogether. It is unusual to find an ill-dispositioned Bulldog nowadays, and he has gradually drifted, as it were, into a docile companion, a favorite of the ladies, and a playmate for the children, as the many popular pictures seen at the present time in the print show windows prove. Shows, dog clubs, and literature have done much for Great Britain's national dog. and under a regime of them he has become the most valuable of the canine race, although at times the prices paid for a specimen have been exaggerated. Still, a tip- top dog will easily raise £ 500, and if particularly well placed £S00 or £1000 may be procured for one with the elements of a champion about him. Whether any purely fancy dog is worth so much is a matter of opinion, although there is an adage to the effect that anything is worth as much as it will . bring. Still, it seems odd that such a creature as a Bulldog, that cannot give actual pleasure to anyone but its owner, is worth as much or more than a pack of Foxhounds, and double as much as a winner in embryo of the Waterloo Cup. the running of which affords amuse- ment to tens of thousands, and is the means of turning over vast sums of money. Such comparisons area ready examples of the peculiarity that can pre- vail in our customs of sport. THE CRACK SHOT.

Department of , Agriculture, before the Pennsylvania Live Stock Breeders' Association.) In discussing profitable types of light horses I want to speak on those types or classes of horses that are profitable from the standpoint of the man that takes them to the market and sells them. By a profitable light horse ^ve understand that a horse that will pay t;.i breeder for producing him when he | takes him down to the place where I the horse buyers congregate and pay good money for good animals. 1 "There are three general classes of | light horses on most markets: The I roadster class, the carriage class and .the saddle class. They are known un- der different names. The roadsters are i known as drivers, gentlemen's drivers, I light drivers or roadsters as the case I may be. Carriage horses are known i' under such names as carriage horses, [carriage teams, coach horses, coachers -and actors, etc. Under the class of carriage horses there are two general sub-classes: Cobs and harness ponies —neither of them very numerous in I any of our markets, but both profitable classes. Under saddlers there are a number of sub-classes but those class- es are of importance more as matters lot general information than as actual sub-divisions of the market. Before , going into the eharasteristics of these cifferent classes. I want to speak briefly on the eharasteristics that are common to all classes of light horses which, speaking broadly, regardless of whether they are light or heavy, by means- of which you can build up in the mind's eye the perfect horse. The variations from this make the char- acteristics, of the different classes. Perhaps the first and most important ;ential in a market horse is sound- ss. It is absolutely useless to ex- t to sell a horse that is unsound a good price on any critical market, jsoundnesses that are most common ,>e these of the limbs and the respira- try organs. A marketable horse shoula jot have a splint so high up on the leg that it interferes with the articula- tion of the knee joint. A splint may be small and low down and not seriously affect" the selling price of the animal. Understand, however, that where you have to consider the highest type of jquine beauty you want to avoid blem- ihes just as much as possible. A plint at best is a blemish, and natur- lly will result in a discrimination be- ig made against a horse possessing le when he issold. "With light horses 'erything that is an offense to the eye must be avoided. The more beautiful horse is, other things considered, the fher he is going to sell.

Now most of those things are un- soundnesses that can be readily detect- ed by any one who is at all competent in judging horses. The next point is conformation. The conformation of the profitable horse is one that must be learned with a great deal of study. The head should be w-ell shaped, neat, clear cut and straight, with breadth between the eyes, a large, open nostril, fine cut muzzle, and clean, firm lips, a full, bright eye, a neat, well set ear of medium size, a clean cut, open jaw, with a wide angle between the jaws, that is, the jaws should be set out rather than in; the jaws should not extend so far back that when a curb bit is put on the horse the jaw itself will press against the wind-pipe and interfere with his breathing. We must have a clean cut throttle, a necK v.. good length, clean cut and well mus- cled, a clean cut wind-pipe, high with- ers, and a sloping shoulder without any tendency to meatiness. The arm should be thrown well back, the fore- arm long, well muscled, and flat; knees good-sized, cannon clean cut and strong, with tendon well defined; straight fetlocks, sloping pasterns, feet of fair size, with dense horn, with high and wide -heels. Now, that a short back is a some- thing that will fool a beginner in a good many instances, because if the horse has a straight shoulder his back is going to look longer. The back must be short, strong and straight, with the ribs deep and well rounded, the chest deep and the loins broad and strong. In the hind quarters there must be good breadth of croup, which should be straight rather than strong, the quarters should be well rounded, smooth, well muscled and muscular, the thighs long, with open angles, the lower thighs should be long and well muscled. The hock— the most import- ant joint in the body— should be wide, deep and clean cut in front; at the back the hock should come up to a rather fine edge. The cannon should be clean cut, cordy, the tendons stand- ing out distinctly, and the bone should be clean. The fetlocks should be wide and deep, pasterns sloping — not Sv. much slope is necessary in the hind pasterns, as in the front ones. To as- certain the straightness of the. leg:, stand immediately in front of the ani- mal and drop an imaginary plumb line from the point of the shoulder; It should divide the leg from the knee down. At the side a line from the, center of the arm should fall en in* center of the foot. A line dropped from behind the point of the buttock should bisect leg from this point down; from the side this line should touch the back and coincide with the cannon throughout its length. The point of quality is extremely im- portant and hard to describe because it is a very intangible thing. The horse should have a clean cut appearance throughout; there should be a clean- ness of bone, no meatiness below the knee and hock or around the shoulder. The head should be clean cut, and he should have a general well-bred ap- pearance. His skin should be moder- ately fine and the hair soft. The point of action is the next in importance. Action Is extremely ».. portant in light horses. It should be straight and true. At the trot it should be what is known as the straight line trot, no wabbling from one side to the other or swinging the feet. The action from behind should be straight, the feet picked up smartly, hocks well flexed, and the feet of both fore and hind legs at each step placed immedi- ately in front of the former position. Style is of the highest important, and this is generally indicated by the way in which he carries his head, the general appearance of smartness, of good disposition and nerve. Then we have the point of manners. No horse is going to sell well in any of these classes that is not well man- nered or shows that he has had no edu- cation. I do not mean by that that he should lack spirit, because he must have spirit, but he should have been taught how to behave himself in the case of emergency. This is especially true in the cases of horses that are sold for city use. A great many horses are very sharply discriminated against on this point. SPEED AT AUCTION!

This has been noticeably so. since the intro- duction of barb-wire fences. Cattle ikewisc suffer much from barb-wire cuts. To saj that "it is good enougn for them," when an animal comes up at night, torn and bleeding, is both an ignorant and cruel way of looking at Though many dumb crea- tures display intelligence than many of the people that own them it is not ,N,,. that an animal is going to .-to,, to count the cost of trespass when it reaches over, attempts to jump over or to go through a barb- wire fence. It is enough for a man. or woman, to know that the animal is injured and is suffering. and to straightway give such relief as is pos- sible. For barb-wire cuts we never found a simple remedy so good as the home-made 'niment of kerosene and lard, well mixed, half as much kero- sene as lard— to a pint of which mix- ture we added a half dozen teaspoon- fuls of strong spirits of camphor and a half teaspoonful of carbolic acid. For colic, and for inflammation of the bowels try this prescription: Muriate of ammonia, % ounce; tincture nux vomica. 1 ounce: cantharides, 1 ounce; with tincture of lobelia enough to fill an 8-ounce bottle. Divide this into five doses, and put each dose into a long- necked bottle with at least a pint of warm water. Give a dose every hour until relief comes. This prescription cost the writer $5, but proved money well invested. It costs you nothing, and has the endorsement of one of the finest of veterinarians. If the case of colic is taken in time, it will never liiil to effect a cure. Keep a bottle of it Ou hand. Keep in a dark colored bottle and in a dark place — in the medicine cabinet, or well wrapped in paper If kept on a shelf, and it will retain its full strength indefinitely. Take can. of every creature that is dependent upon your care and mercy. It means not only money in your pocket, but it means a something that should be a thousand times more than that to you. No man, no woman needs to be told ■what that is. Look into the soul of it. Great is every man's responsibility to "The Giver of all." — Exchange.

A full crop jures the appearance of the dress> bird and is liable to sour and low prices are the result. Poultry should always be killed by bleeding in the mouth, or by opening- the veins in the neck, then hang by the feet until they are properly bled. The crop and tfre intestines should not be removed and the feet and head should be kept on. . Either manner of dressing, by scale5 ing or by dry picking sell best to shir pers and those scalded best to t home trade. For scalding chickens should have the water as near bo point without boiling. Hold by head and legs, which should be i dry before scalding then immerse I lift up and down three times.

The most extravagant ec the breeder is the use of a That *the bull is half the here, tainly true and this fact is b home to the breeder every day. Did you know that in bady beef Auction that well finished baby heifers bring as high prices on markets as do steers? This is true when maturity is reached, friend of ours fits several car loat "baby heifers each fall and doe cheaper and makes more profit tha- feeding baby beef steers. We feel it our duty to urge ev farmer to include among his fai stock a few head of pure bred catti or hogs. It costs no more to keep a pure bred than a scrub animal. If you have a bank account and scrubs exchange some of the bank account for a few pure breds. It will pay a largei interest on your money than you are now receiving". Hay and corn being the most plenti- ful foods on the farms are as a rule too liberally fed by the farmer who wishes to treat his horses with kind- ness. Farm work horses should be fed just that amount of hay which they will clean up readily. They should be fed in the morning after watering, and before grain. At noon in hot weather when much work is to be done hay should be withheld or out a pound or two be given after a sip of water and while horse is cooi- ng before getting noon feed of grain. :ed at night liberally after the gram 'at ion has been fully masticated. Hay should be of good quality and vprinkled, if dusty. The amount of lay fed should be increased as work lecreases as in the winter when hay •ation may be doubled as the grain is :creased. — Successful Farming. THE PRECOCIOUS PULLET. [■ A prominent poultry breeder says iat the pullet that commences to lay le 'earliest in life is the one that lays largest number of eggs through '.te, as cattle that have the milk-pro- ucing organs active earliest make the : est cows. Select the fast growing, arly matured specimens, that present 1 full the type and size found in the reed, and use only these as breeders, nd the egg producing merits will be lcreased. It is care and attention to :ie flock that finds and secures these iierits in the progeny. Neglect and aphazard breeding never pay. If you Jive pullets that are laying, you may 1 2 certain that they are the ones that 1 3u should breed from next spring. Kark them with distinguishing bands ji that you may know them when the 'reeding season arrives. BOOKS FOR STALLIUN OWNbu. 1. Hoover's Stallion Service Record.

Mon- bells, her foal of 1897, and the last of the wonderful old mare's produce, died suddenly at the farm of his owner, Harry W. Orr of Reading, Pa., Tuesday night, Nov. 14th. Monbells was sold at the Old Glory sale of 1903, being consigned by Palo Alto Stock Farm, and was knocked down to Mr. Orr for the absurdly low price of $900. It is said that Mr. Orr had just bargained to sell Monbells to Mr. E. L. Featherstone at a price many times larger than he paid for him, and on Mr. Featherstone's man reaching the farm to take the horse he found he had died the night pre- vious. Monbells was sired by Mendocino and was the eighteenth and last foal of his famous dam. He was worked a little as a four-year-old by Chas. A. Durfee and given a record of 2:23% at San Jose, making the tenth performer to be produced by the daughter of The Moor. While the sons of Beautiful Bells have been wonderful producers, death has deci- mated their ranks, Monbells being the fourth to die at an early age. Adbell died last year, and St. Bell and Bell Boy both died at early ages. Monbells left a few well bred sons and daughters in California, several very promising young trotters being amongst them. That he would have been a great sire of ex- treme speed and added fame to the already famous family had he lived is certain and his death is a loss to the breeders of the trotting horse. ver DR. WILLIAM FINLAW, one of the leading phy- || plans of Sonoma county for the past thirty years, ed at his home at Santa Rosa on Friday evening of st week. Dr. Finlaw was born in New Jersey on me 15, 1839. He studied medicine in Philadelphia id afterwards in Columbia College, New York. Lat- he entered the army and served four years during e Civil War. He was a prisoner of war for nine onths. He afterwards served on General Sanborn's aff during an Indian campaign. At the close of the Dr. Finlaw remained as a surgeon in the United :es army for some time and then resigned from _ service and engaged in the private practice of s profession as a physician and surgeon in Junction Kansas. Some thirty years ago Dr. Finlaw ■ed to California and Santa Rosa and was actively ged in practice up to the time of his death. ile stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, in 1865, Dr. tw was married to Miss Anna Love Snyder, the who survives him. Dr. Finlaw was an ardent lirer of a good horse, and years ago established Rose Dale Stock Farm, just outside the limits of city of Santa Rosa. He purchased the stallion 2:15, and afterwards St. Whips, a son of the itioneer stallion Whips. A few years ago he rht the handsome stallion Washington McKinney placed him at the head of his stud. Dr. Finlaw quite a number of standard performers, but lorn raced any of the products of his farm. Among e record horses bred at the Rose Dale Farm were imnie N. B. 2:17, Favor 2:211,4, Clatawa 2:21. Digi- |les 2.251/2, Julia G. 2:2314. Bertha R. 2:22%. and veral others. Dr. Finlaw was a man of strong F. H. JERMYN PURCHASES THE BUTTLER FARM. Last week Mr. F. H. Jermyn, a wealthy coal opera- tor of Scranton, Pa., who has spent the best part of three winters in California concluded the purchase from James Butler of New York, of the farm known to most residents of this section as the Valensin Farm, near Pleasanton. The farm comprises 160 acres of land and was the home of the famous stallion Sidney, when that horse was owned by the late Count Yaleu- sin, who used the place as a horse breeding farm, and bred thereon many champion colt trotters and pacers. After Mr. Valensin's death the property passed to Mr. R. E. de B. Lopez, who changed its name to Merriwa Stock Farm and established his Australian thoroughbred thereon, for whom the farm was named. Mr. Lopez also engaged in the breeding of trotters, owning the stallion James Madison 2:17%. Two years ago James Butler, the millionaire grocer of New York, and owner of East View Farm, bought the place, and after stocking it with a few brood mares and colts, concluded that it was "too far from the Bowery" and for the past year it has been for sale, the price asked being $32,000. The amount paid for it by Mr. Jermyn is not stated, but was probably a little below that figure. Negotiations in regard to the purchase of the property have been carried on for Mr. Jermyn for several months by Mr. S. Chris- tianson of this city, and on Mr. Jermyn's arrival here a few days ago the sale was consummated. We un- derstand it is the new owner's intention to greatly improve the property, build a fine residence on the site of the old house and to remodel and reconstruct the stables. He will ship here from Scranton a num- ber of his trotters and pacers, including several val- uable brood mares, and some young prospects, and will make of the place an ideal breeding farm, on which he will breed a few trotters according to his own ideas and principally for his own pleasure. Mr. Jermyn has many friends in California who will wish him every success in his venture. TWO IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS to irriga- tion literature have recently been printed for free distribution by the Southern Pacific Company. The first is an address made by Mr. J. B. Lippincott, supervising engineer Reclamation Service United States Geological Survey, before the irrigation com- mittees of the Senate and House of Representatives, while at Red Bluff last June. The second is a reprint of an article on "Irrigated Agriculture" by Profes- sor Samuel Fortier, in charge of the Pacific district of the Irrigation and Drainage Investigations, United States Department of Agriculture. The first is a re- port of a careful investigation of the water sources adaptable to irrigating the great Sacramento Valley, and contains much valuable information. The second is a careful, expert estimate of the land in California available for irrigation, the streams which can be utilized, the need of industrious and intelligent set- tlers, the cost of preparing the land for irrigation, the errors made by beginners, such as the use of too much water, the value of pumping plants, and a conservative estimate of the results which may be expected from a judicious use of water, judged by what has already been accomplished. Both pamph- lets are handsomely illustrated. MR. M. W. SAVAGE, principal owner and manager of the International Stock Food Company, paid $21,000 for the champion trotting stallion Cresceus 2:02% at the Old Glory Sale last Tuesday. Mr. Savage now owns five champion stallions — Cresceus 2:02%. Direc- tum 2:05%, and Arion 2:07%, all trotters, and Dan Patch 1.55, and Roy Wilkes 2:06y2, both pacers. All these stallions have held champion records and Cres- ceus and Dan Patch are now the undisputed cham- pion stallions at their respective gaits. Mr. Savage has exercised excellent judgment in adding Cresceus to his group of great horses. In the hands of such a progressive and energetic owner Cresceus will pay a big profit on the investment. THE OLD GLORY SALE began a I New York last Monday, and from the meagre dispatches received so far it is evident that the horses are bringing a high average. Cresceus 2:02% was sold on Tuesday, going to the bid of Mr. M. W. Savage of Minneapolis for $21,000. On Wednesday Czarina Dawson 2:08% brought $10,000 and Morning Star 2:04% by Star Pointer sold for $10,500. The total sales for Wednes- day reached $122,755 for 101 head, an average of over $1000. A complete report of the sale will begin in our next week's issue. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. RAY DITTUS, Sacramento— A horse bred as stated in your letter would be eligible provided his dam is registered and not otherwise. If the mare is not registered now it is doubtful if she could be until she has produced two standard performers. The Year Books do not show'that Tarn O'Shanter by Noonday ever -sired a standard performer. O. & F., Forestville — Silas Skinner 2:17 was foaled in 1SS5. He is the sire of Ole 2:10%. None of his daughters have produced a standard performer so far Belden, whose dam is by Silas Skinner, has worked Belden, whose dam was by Silas Skinner, has worked well authenticated trials in 2:13%. Alcona, Jr., sire of Silas Skinner, is also sire of the pacer Graceful George 2:23. The dam of Alcona, Jr., was Ma- donna by Cassius M. Clay 22, second dam by Joe Downing. The breeding of the second dam of Alcona 730 has never been traced. Edmond S., one of the fastest green trotters in Southern California, broke a bone in his leg while being worked at the Los Angeles track last Saturday. The track was wet and in bad shape from the rain. The horse was going about a 2:24 gait when it hap- pened. Edmond S. was sired by Zombro 2:11, and is owned by Mr. William Morgan of Pasadena. He was being driven by Frank Williams. Edmond S. is one of Zombro's first crop of colts and two weeks ago worked two heats in 2:15% and 2:15, and Mr. Wil- liams said he could step in 2:13 and probably better- Mr. Morgan has another good Zombro in Era. a four- year-old mare that worked a mile last Monday in 2:16, and her trainer thinks she can 2:12 right now. and says she will reach 2:10 next year, so the green trotters will have to go some to beat her. In her mile in 2:16 she trotted the last half in 1:07%, and the last quarter in 33 seconds. Mr. Morgan has been very- unlucky with his horses this year. His mare Una K. 2:14 by McKinney trotted a nice mile in 2:12 about a month ago but is now quite lame. She is a very fast mare and when just right could get into the 2:10 list. Mr. R. M. Tobin of San Mateo attended a sale of Alfred G. Vanderbilt's horses in New York recently and purchased two pairs of coach horses, paying $3700 for them. The express charges for shipping them to California were $900, so the two teams cost him about $5000 landed at San Mateo. These horses are not only well matched but they are well mannered and make a good showing when driven together. It is the time and money spent on their education that caused them to sell for the prices Mr. Tobin paid for them. Don't make up your list of 2:10 performers until after the Los Angeles meeting is over, and perhaps it will be still better to wait until the Arizona Terri- tory Fair in December has been held. Bellemont by Zombro reduced her record to _' K. ', in ;i winning race at Los Angeles last Wednesday. She is only three years old but she beat a big field of aged horses. In the 2:17 trot won by the Zombro three-year-old filly Bellemont at Los Angeles Wcdn-sdny three horses equally divided the other three moneys, all being the same in the final summary. An instance of this kind is of rare occurrence. A man with years of experience on Kentucky stock farms desires work at breaking and handling colts. S,.,. ;h1\ .t ! si-inent in this isslk-.

County Clerk J. D. Kalar, of Salinas. Cal., has sent ;ure of his ?ixteen-months-old pacing filly light 2:0314, dam by Boodle 2:12%, dam by Carr's Mambrino. This filly has al- a quarter in 36% seconds and is one of tost promising youngsters in the State. Her picture shows her to be a large, well formed filly, with speed in every point of her makeup. She wears no hopples and needs no boots, and has been broken and driven entirely by Mr. Kalar. It should be the policy of every man who raises a horse to get as much for him as possible, and it will pay every man who has a horse to sell to fit him es- pecially to please the buyer. The majority do not study the matter of selling horses advantageously, and in consequence of this the man who does is in a measure able to avoid their competition and to place his produce in a more commanding position. Mr. J. W. Zibbell & Son have lately received at their stables on Eleventh avenue, this city, a three- year-old colt by Dictatus that was bred by James "W. Marshall of Dixon and sold to L. C. Swain of Vaca- ville when a two-year-old. Louis Mativia gave the colt six weeks' work at Dixon and he paced a mile in 2:2S hitched to a high- wheel cart. The last quarter was in 34 seconds. Mr. Zibbell, Sr.. who is working this colt on the park roads, thinks very highly of him. John R. Malloy, an oil inspector of Ohio, was one of the persons who strenuously advised Gov. Herrick to veto the Chisholm bill because it permitted betting on horse races, which of course was wicked. "Well, Gov. Herrick vetoed the bill and then ran for Governor again. Mr. Malloy did not consider it wicked to bet on elections, so he put up nearly all the money he owned on his friend Herrick and lost. Doubtless be is now of the opinion that it is just as wicked and foolish to bet on a poor candidate as it i-s on a poor horse. Mr. Martin Carter, proprietor of the Nutwood Stock Farm at Irvington, suffered a severe loss last Tues- day night of last week in the death of the mare Eonnie Derby, by Chas. Derby out of Bon Bon, dam of Bonnie Direct 2:05% and Bonsilene 2:14%. Mr. Carter purchased Bonnie Derby at the sale of horses owned by the estate of the late Millen Griffith with a of breeding her to Nutwood Wilkes 2:16%. Luckily she produced a filly, now a yearling, which is very promising. Bonnie Derby was worked some by Dr. Boucher, who drove her an eighth in 15 seconds and thought very highly of her. Mr. Carter bred her last spring to his handsome colt Lord Alwin, an own to John A. McKerron 2:04%, and she was in foal.

This colt is by Stam B. and he looks like one that will be earning money as soon as he grows up. It is reported that Knap McCarthy will join the ranks of the Eastern trainers who will winter in Cali- fornia. Come on, gentlemen, there is plenty of stall room- plenty of horses and a warm welcome for you all in this land of sunshine, flowers and record break- ers. There is offered for sale by an advertiser a five- year-old McKinney stallion that some breeder should buy and place in the stud. He is an exceptionally handsome horse, bay with black points and not a white hair, stands 15.3 and weighs 1050 pounds. He has not been trained but is naturally speedy and has trotted miles better than 2:30 with quarters in 35 seconds. His breding is very choice as his dam is by Dexter Prince, second dam by a well bred son of Electioneer and third dam by that good sire Mc- Donald Chief, sire dams of Tom Smith 2.13%, Stella 2:15%, etc. Such a combination of blood was certain to produce a well turned hand- some individual which this five-year-old is. That grand trotting mare Nora McKinney 2:12% was out of a Dexter Prince mare, so the cr_oss is potent for speed also, and this young horse has this qualification as well. Good legs are a great desideratum in a stock horse and he has the straightest, cleanest and best of legs without a pimple on them His carriage is splendid and his disposition perfect, while he is one of the sort that never seems to get tired. He should be given a record and put to breeding as such individuals as he, by McKinney and out of a well bred Dexter Prince mare, should be making a name for himself, which he can certainly do if given a chance. For price and further particulars address this office.- Mules are raising in value every year and there will be many mares bred to jacks next spring. Mr. S. B. Wright of Santa Rosa advertises a good jack for sale in this issue. It is said Gil Curry will dispose of all his thorough- bred interests while he is in California this winter and will then return East, where he will open a public training stable for trotters and pacers at the Pitts- burg track. James Butler is not retiring from the horse business by any means. The millionaire New York grocer dis- poses of many horses by auction every year. He has now about twenty bead at Pleasanton under the care of Monroe Salisbury. It is said Mr. Butler made an offer of $30,000 for Direct Hal 2:04% recently, to fill the vacant place at East "View Farm caused by the death of Direct 2:05%. Walter J. Snyder, secretary of the Detroit Driving Club for the past two years, has connected himself with John Splan, the well known turfman and "father" of the "light harness horse" auction sale business. They will give their first sale early in January, at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago. The firm will also open a new market in Detroit. It is their intention to hold, annually, two sales; the * first of the New Year" sale in Chicago, in the month of January, and the "bring your watch" sale in Detroit, in the month of May. That this firm will be a factor in the field no horseman questions. Both are well known and popular. Splan, the "only Splan," has, undoubtedly, as large an ac- quaintance as is enjoyed by anyone in this country and abroad. Mr. Snyder is one of the younger gener- ation, but what he lacks in years is fully compensated for by his energy, integrity and honesty; while his acquaintanceship is very large and his friends numer- ous. Mark Twain has taken up the cudgels against over- speeding autoists, and in a charasteristic letter in Harper's Weekly he proposes a novel means of detect- ing and punishing them. The law, he says, "dresses a convict in a garb which makes him easily distin- guishable from any moving thing in the world at a hundred and twenty-five yards except a zebra. If he escapes in those clothes he cannot get far." He sug- gests that this principle be extended to include "his brother criminal, the Overspeeder," who every day, throughout America, runs over somebody and escapes. At present, he points out. the automobile numbers are so small that ordinary eyes cannot read them, upon a swiftly speeding machine, at a distance of a hundred feet. He suggests enlarging the figures, making them readable at a hundred yards. For offenses of over- speeding he would have the figures enlarged, as a pen- alty in place of a fine — to be re-enlarged for each sub- sequent offense. "With auto numbers readable as far as one could tell a convict from a barber pole, none af these criminals could run over a person and 'escape.' " An advertiser has reasoned it out this way: "If 1 want to get well acquainted with a man to whom I have been introduced, I speak to him every time I meet him. If I spoke to him but once and then passed him by without recognition the next time I saw him, and continued to pass himi without speak- ing, or perhaps speak to him two or three times a year, we wouldn't get to know each other very well. That's the way I look at this advertising business. Y\ hen I want the dealers of a certain territory to get ?o familiar with me that they will think of me when- evi i they are in need of goods in my line, I want to speak to them in every issue of the paper they get." Ed. Geers is quoted as saying: "I never sat behi a pacer that was as fast as Walter Direct. It ^ no trouble for Walter to pace a quarter better th 30 seconds, and his going lame means a big loss me. Right now he is as sound as he ever was in ] life, but I hardly think I will race him before 19 as I think that a year's rest will do him good, a will breed him next season to a lot of high ch mares. In a few years I think that he will be one the greatest sires in the country.

It is hoped that in this case the 13 not prove an unlucky number and prevent him fi being the first double-century sire. He has a t of 194 in the 2:30 list, but seven of them are pac with records slower than 2:25. Tony Bernal's trotter Major Cook, that was ship to Los Angeles from Denver, will be back in Pleas ton after the close of the Los Angeles meeting. The Stam B. yearling that J. M.

Several parties having inquired about the Sta: filly advertised for sale in this paper two weeks by Dr. J. p.

Mr. Carter read the advt tisement and made it his business to go to Oakla) without delay and call on her owner.

The filly is by Stam B. 2:11%, dam McKinney 2:11%, second dam by Antevolo 2.19: third dam Fontana, the dam of Silas Skinner 2 etc., by Almont 33. The filly is a yearling and is ei tered in the Breeders' Futurity, Stanford, Occide Stakes and Kentucky Futurity. While her new own will train and race her in the stakes in which she entered if she shows speed enough, he purchased h for a broodmare, being particularly struck with h breeding to mate with Nutwood Wilkes or one of h sons.

Monday was indeed a cold day, so cold that the >lood of the "talent" was frozen in horror. Hot fav- >rites were second on four occasions, third once, un- ilaced once. That was the afternoon's record that vill go down in the dope book as a chapter of horrors. The offending first choices were E. C. Runte, Royal logue, I'm Joe, Watercure, Cloche d'Or and Celeres. yf these the Rogue, Watercure and Cloche d'Or w^ere test, but victims of bad luck or bad rides, sometimes joth. Had Watercure hugged the rail turning for Lome Divina could never have run around him and von, and had Cloche d'Or not been allowed to fall ,ack to last place going the first three furlongs she ould not have lost. \Twas ever thus in manhood's hour, I've seen the rosiest "dope" not pay. I never dreamed of golden bower But when I woke 'twas yellow clay. I never laughed o'er figures "swell," To think w^hat bookies' coin would buy, But when dead sure I'd "give them h— 11," 'Twas 'yours" that 'got it" in the eye. In short, Monday's looked like about the "easiest ard" of the session, but proved the hardest. On .aturday favorites had had their day, four of them nishing in front, one second and the other third. The two handicaps of Saturday were things of eauty if not joys forever, Lady Goodrich, San Nich- las and Reservation finishing so close together in ae mile and a sixteenth that any of the trio could ave been awarded the race without arousing a snake lorus. In the next, for two-year-olds, over the Fu- lrity course, Jennings' Nagazam beat I'm Joe by a ood head only. The departure of the Rancho del Paso thorough- reds for New York this week is interesting and the ..flowing Sacramento dispatch shows what is going ) be done with the great ranch after the horses have acated the place: Sacramento, Nov. 20. — The forthcoming sale of the - Haggin horses means the subdivision of the Haggin iinch, and practically the addition of 44,000 acres tu le suburbs of Sacramento. So far as is publicly Inown. the owner adheres to his original terms of lie; but it is certain that many negotiations are in ;ie air and are going forward. It is also certain that kme Eastern parties intend to start a dairy farm, pon the ranch ground, where 10,000 cows will be diked daily, and the promoters of this scheme are ow in San Francisco upon the business. ■Next month Sheepshead Bay will be the scene of le most notable sale of thoroughbred horses in his- ry. Forty-eight cars, containing twenty-two stal- ons and 546 brood mares, will start for the East to- orrow, and they will be sold within six days of their .-rival. Thirty yearlings are to be sold in San Fran- sco within the next few weeks, and there will then 2 left only some 250 weanlings, which will be sold axt June in New York as yearlings. Well nigh the hole world has been warned of this unprecedented ile. and dealers from England and Australia are on leir way with the intention of securing such horses s Star Ruby, Golden Garter, Watercress, Miss Wood- ed, Bassetlaw and many others of almost equal fame, .hree-fifths of these horses are Haggin products, ed at Rancho del Paso. :ach year has added to the value of the yearlings, .1 lately hardly one has been sold under $800. The es that they will fetch are, of course, a matter of jecture. but they will be enormous and the effect n the racing world of so great a distribution of oughbreds must be very marked." Four special trains (forty-eight cars in all) -were nployed and this is the largest movement of thesort the history of railroading. It is so important in ,e eyes of the railroad people that W. H. Snedaker, the Illinois Central, came out to accompany the dpment and see that there were no unnecessary de- ys. The Haggin horses will go over the Southern ific and Union Pacific to Omaha, thence over the ois Central to Chicago, then probably the Lake : and New York Central to New York City, many a valuable animal will lose its life through g this journey is certain, for many of the brood es have never been out of California and therefore feel the cold weather of the other side of the ra Nevadas very keenly. The holding of the sale December is regarded on all sides as bad judgment. ; long as they had decided to sell, why not have had e sale late in October? Among the twenty-two stal- es to be disposed of are imp. Gerolstein, Fresno, enheim. imp. Golden Garter, imp. Goldfinch, Gold )inner, Indio, Maxio, Montana, imp. Royal Flush, p. San Diego. Solanus, imp. Star Ruby. imp. Tod- igton and imp. Watercress. I believe imp. Basset- w and imp. St. Gatien died a short time ago. if smory serves. Ed. Corrigan has refused an offer of $750,000 from e Western Jockey Club for his interest in the Haw- orne. City Park and Kansas City tracks. This is ;r value, and as the Hawthorne and Kansas City urses are closed by law, the offer was considered a jry good one. This is taken as a sure indication that :3 two turf bodies will fight to a finish in New Or- ■ ins — and eventually finish racing in the old French y of the South. It seems that a number of owners The death of George C. Bennett, Fred Cook's great two-year-old Orsini colt, at Louisville, Ky., last Sat- urday, was deplored here on all sides. Many consider this half-brother to Honiton, Hainault and Gold Lace to have been the best two-year-old out this season, his only rivals being Burgomaster and Mohawk. W. O'B. Macdonough bred the youngster (which was a big brown fellow) on his San Mateo county ranch, now called Ormondale, and sold him at his yearling sale in New York in 1904 for $2,200. Fred Cook, of St. Louis, being the purchaser. Bennett beat about everything he tackled in the South, and continued on his conquering career at the metropolitan tracks of the far East. He contracted a cold there, and upon being removed to Louisville, it developed into pneu- monia. Thirty thousand dollars had been refused for the colt, and Cook valued him at §45,000, accord- ing to the Louisville dispatch announcing Bennett's death. Radtke, E. Robinson, Loague and McBride appear to be doing the best riding at Emeryville these days, the first named being the riding marvel he was claimed to be by Middle Western waiters. Robinson is not far behind him, and Loague bids fair to follow in the footsteps* of "Skeets" Martin and Hildebrand, who were considered so bad at one time they could not get a mount, yet developed into premier jockeys. By the way, Maher will finish second on the riders' list in England this season, E. Wheatley, who was an apprentice up to a short time ago, being in first posi- tion, Madden third. Next Tuesday night's thoroughbred sales (tne Macdonough and Cameron) will be the <;event of the season" in this direction, in all probability, combining, as it does, the most fashionably-bred yearlings, the best tried race horses and several gilt-edged stud matrons. That Sir Wilfred will bring a sum in excess of $7,500 is the general opinion, while there will be some lively bidding for the yearlings by Ossary, Or- sini, St. Avonicus and St. Carlo, a number of the youngsters by the last named two being from Or- monde mares. Ormonde's Right won another good race last Mon- day at Bennings. Charles Kerr of Bakersfield will sell his yearlings here next month some time. They are by Cromwell (winner of thirty-two races), the stake-winner All Green (by Knight of Ellerslie, sire of Henry of Na- varre), William 'O'B. and Herald, and for the most part out of good producing mares. George Rose, about the largest stockholder in Ascot Park, Los Angeles, was a visitor at the track last Tuesday, on his way from New York to the southern metropolis. Indications are that the Ascot meeting will be far and away the best ever held there. At the close of the Bennings meeting James McLaughlin, E. Angarola, J. Grant Lyman, J. A. Bennett. Jack Mc- Ginnis and "Boots" Durnell will ship to Los Angeles. Judge C. E. Pettingill arrived from the East last Tuesday and began his work at Emeryville. Frank Eckert, Joe Rose and Bill Jackman are among the bookmakers to arrive early in the week, and they "cut in" at once. Rose was at one time over $200,000 to the good on the New York season, but did not quit at the right period. Dick Dwyer opens the ball at Ascot Park this sea- son. After investigation, the stewards decided there was nothing wrong with the win of Sir Preston and that Jockey Wright merely made a poor ride on Royal Rogue in this particular event. W. A. Pinkerton, the famous Chicago detective, is a recent arrival. HORSES IN CHINA. Special Agent Burrill of the United States govern- ment has made a report concerning the horses in China. He did this in response to inquiries of per- sons in the United States interested in breeding horses for shipment to foreign countries. It seems there are comparatively few draft animals other than those raised in China, and that nearly all imported animals are brought from Australia Mr. Burrill de- scribes existing conditions, and is inclined to the be- lief that there is a fair field in China for the introduc- tion of American horses and mules. His letter on this subject follows: That there are no American horses in northern China is probably due to the fact that no deter- mined effort has ever been made to introduce them, and the market, though limited, offers inducements of which the American exporter might profitably take advantage. Practically all the horses now in use in this part of China are imported from Australia, for no especial reason apparently other than that the Australians are keen traders, and with frequent con- signments, in the absence of all competition, keen the market well supplied. While foreigners and the wealthier class of Chinese are not dissatisfied with the horses now imported, it does not follow that they are so prejudiced in their favor that they would not welcome an opportunity to compare them with the American grown animal, and horse dealers here unhesitatingly express the belief that horses bred in the United States would not only stand the climate well, but would be only temporarily affected by the necessary change of feed. Australian horses are usually shipped on consign- ments averaging twenty-five head each, and are handled on arrival by the Shanghai Horse Bazaar Company (limited). When in good condition the prices obtained at the first public sale range from $175 to $250 each, exceptionally fine horses, of course, commanding higher prices. The preference is for rid- ing horses 14 to 15 hands high and for driving horses 15 to 15.2 hands high. Fine, upstanding, showy horses are most in demand, and if hardy and properly accli- mated bring exceptionally good prices and have a ready sale. Cross-country riding is very popular dur- ing the winter months, but is abandoned when the planting of crops begins in March. Driving, how- ever, is indulged in the year round, and the macad- amized roads throughout the foreign settlement and extending far into the country about Shanghai, and which are kept in excellent condition, affording op- portunities for recreation and enjoyment which are in sharp contrast to the narrow, uneven paved road- ways of the native city. Australian horses shipped from Sydney arrive in Shanghai in about three weeks' time, and although a part of the trip is made through the tropics, they appear to stand the journey reasonably well. Tempo- rary stalls, each of which accommodates one horse, are erected on board ship. Wooden bars are so ar- ranged as to prevent the animal from leaving his quarters, and cleats or cross pieces are fastened to the deck of the ship that a foothold may be retained in the event of rough weather. The freight rate from Sydney to Shanghai is approximately $50 a head, which includes a return trip fare for the man in charge of the consignment. On their arrival here the horses are immediately taken to the sales stables and gradually accustomed to the Chinese feed of bran, barley and rice straw. In a few weeks, the time depending on the condition of the horses, they are sold at public auction and the proceeds, after de- ducting expenses, are transmitted to the Australian owner. In order that imported horses may become thor- oughly acclimatized before the hard work of the win- ter begins, dealers prefer that they should arrive here in the summer months, and, as the seasons here correspond with those in the United States, it is sug- gested that the months of June and July would be the best time for shipment. A few Canadian horses have been imported both for riding and driving purposes and have invariably shown greater adaptability to climatic conditions than have the Australian horses. These hGrses, however, were not sent on consign- ment, but purchased direct for private use. There were 1900 horses licensed in Shanghai in 1904, and probably -1000 more would cover the whole number licensed in the Chinese empire. These fig- ures include the Chinese ponies, which greatly out- number the Australian horses, and these two classes are the only animals used for riding and driving in Shanghai. The ponies are all raised in the province of Mongolia and are hardy, wiry little animals, stand- ing from 12 to 13.2 hands high. They pull a heavy victoria or brougham with as much ease apparently as the horse, and will keep going until they drop from exhaustion. They, however, would in no way com- pete in or interfere with the market for American horses if it were decided to make an effort to intro- duce them. There, are a few mules here which were imported from the United States which are used for heavy trucking, of which there is comparatively little in Northern China Coolie labor is utilized for this pur- pose. As he is the cheapest and most docile carrier of burdens, strong, and able to live on little, taking up little space, and requiring no comforts or at- tention beyond supervising his work, he is made use of for transporting goods which, outside of the Orient, would call for the services of strong truck animals. For these reasons practically no demand exists for horses or mules ordinarily used for hauling heavy loads. If an American shipper should desire to enter the field in competition with the Australian horses it would be necessary to arrange with a Shanghai dealer to receive and handle a consignment in the way that is now customary in this market. By communicating with the general manager of the Shanghai Hors^ Bazanr Company (Limited), such information as would be necessary for guidance in properly trans- porting the horses could be obtained and the commis- sions, incidental expenses, and the terms of settlement explained. While the market is not a large one it is of sufficient size, in the judgment of those whose opinion may be relied on, to justify a trial with con- ditions favorable to the establishment of a paying in- dustry. GOOD HORSES SCARCE. Good horses are very scarce throughout all the states, says the Live Stock Journal. True, there is some increase of young geldings and shippers are iii; three-year-olds to develop them rather than leave them for some other buyer. There ver was such a demand for good draft geldings. The ■"■ merchants and packers have orders with all the horse commission men to buy horses up to their si and some put no limit of price Swift has had a man traveling from Ohio to the west looking Tor high class draft geldings, but he could find '''tii>. a i"' w up to their si n I rd and he paid $400 to $500. Pabst recently paid '< oi I pah o Percheron geldings. The Chicago horse buyers who travel all over the middle west are buying all of the host draft geldings they can find and the tops are culled out of every carl i as qui arrive. The demand everywhere is greater than the supi for the best class ot horses even at the high i which is highly en ouraging to farmers to get the best grade draft marei regardless of price and breed to the very best draft; stallion. ^HHHUHM L05 ANQELES MEETING.

Mr Ward," "Don't go so far up the stretch, Mr. Lindsay, you can't expect to get any sort of a start in that way." I never saw a more vigilant or painstaking man placed in that position. The crowd «.,s small, owing to the inclement weather, but the few that were there, saw a regular "hoss race" in the 2:09 pacing race, the second event of the day. The first was a trotting race for the 2:11 class, for which there were five nominations, but Willard Zib- bell's Adam G.. by McKinney, was scratched, leaving Jupiter B.. Morone. Ole and The Commonwealth to contend for the purse of $1000. The pool selling was handled by the veteran George Common, who promised that his pools should be as refreshing (to the winners, of course) as were the pools of Siloam to the weary Hebrew pilgrims of old. There were also mutuals sold on each heat. Jupiter B. was a hot favorite, as will be seen below: Jupiter B 20 10 10 10 Field W ? 6 5 The race scarcely deserves any description, for Jupiter B„ splendidly driven by W. G. Durfee, took the lead at the start in each heat and held it every foot of the way. Monroe taking second money, Ole third and The Commonwealth fourth. Then came on the 2:09 pacing race, for which Mr. Ottinger's Daeda- lion (the stable hands called him "Dandelion") was a most pronounced favorite, as shown below: Daedalion 20 20 15 15 10 10 Field 12 10 S 7 6 5 There were ten horses carded for this race but Robert I was declared out before the start. There was a good deal of scoring in each heat owing to the large number of starters, but Mr. Bruner finally sent them away with Miss Idaho in the lead. Rounding the bend Daedalion got the lead and held it through- out the heat with Miss Idaho second, Vinnie Mann third and Vision fourth, while Kelly Briggs, tooled by Durfee, had to be contented with seventh place and Steve Bailey's handsome stallion, Tidal "Wave, was distanced. Time 2:08%. Before the start for the second heat was had the dulcet voice of Common was hushed, for Daedalion looked to have an easier task than did Jupiter B. in the trot. The Diablo horse had an easier journey than in the preceding heat and won in 2:09%, with Kelly Briggs second, Miss Idaho third, Vision fourth and Miss Georgia fifth. After this heat Miss Georgia was withdrawn by consent of the judges. In the third heat Virginia got off with the lead which she retained to the quarter, where Daedalion came up on her and was in front before he had gone sixty yards more. Vision began to move along and passed Virginia, and then up came Miss Idaho, fol- lowed by Kelly Briggs. these last two being noses apart to the head of the stretch, where Durfee came with a whirlwind rush and lapping Daedalion at the drawgates, came on amid deafening cheers and won i,, ih.. shortest of necks in 2.09.

The chill weather of Tuesday had abated to a great extent, whereupon a much larger attendance was no- ticeable than on the opening day. The first thing was to close up the unfinished pacing race for the 2:09 class, for which only Kelly Briggs, Miss Idaho and Daedalion appeared, all the rest of the field having been sent to their stables for not winning one heat in five. In the pools Daedalion opened favorite, but the money offered on the chestnut daughter of Nut- wood Wilkes soon brought her up on even terms with him. They sold as follows: Daedalion 10 10 10 10 10 Miss Idaho 5 6 . 7 S 10 Kelly Briggs 6 5 5 4 j) 21 21 22 22 25 It was-evident that Springer's friends had been told that the mare was fresher than on the preceding day; and that this was the card that they had up their sleeves. A capital start was effected, Daedalion going off with the lead, closely followed by Kelly Briggs, and the mare trailing to the half mile, when Springer got her down to hard work and ate up the distance, inch by inch, till the three horses entered the stretch less than good necks apart. Everybody said, "Idaho has got the heat if she don't break," and she did not break, winning the heat in 2:09. Then a rush to get even was made, the mare bringing $20 as against $12 for the field; and only a few pools were sold at these rates. Once on the inside track she got off strong and led by a neck to the quarter, Kelly Briggs going at her with unflinching gameness till the stretch was reached, where Ward brought Daedalion up and made a bold bid for the heat, Miss Idaho winning by a length from Daedalion in 2:12%, with game old Kelly Briggs two lengths away. No such race had been paced over this track since 1892, when Our Dick beat W. Wood, Silkwood and Tom Ryder in five obstinately contested heats. The advocates of harness racing cer- tainly could not have been better pleased than every- body was with this race. Faster time had been made on several occasions, but no such spectacular finishes had characterized them. The second race was the first regular race of the day's program, the trot for the 2:17 class, which had originally eight nominations, but three were scratched and the other five on the card were George W. Ford's Burnut. drizen by Wallace; S. S. Bailey's Red Skin, driven by Mosher; J. L. Smith's b. g. Hank, himself driving; F. J. Ruhstaller's br. g. Wild Bell, driven by Freeman, and W. G Durfee's br. m. Bellemont, with Durfee in the sulky. The latter won in straight heats, so easily that it would be a waste of time to describe the heats. Wild Bell trotted the best race of the others, being second in the deciding heat, with Burnut third and Hank fourth. As will be seen by the sum- mary, the three beaten contestants figured "9" each, so the judges ordered the first money to Bellemont. with the second, third and fourth moneys equally di- vided between the three other contestants. Time, 2:16, 2:17, 2:15%. It looked to me as if a heat in 2:12 would not have beaten Durfee's mare, for she was going well within herself at all parts of the race. Red Skin was drawn after the second heat, having no chance whatever: and great sympathy was felt for Mr. Bailey, who had traveled his stable twice as far as any other contestant in order to participate in this meeting. The matinee cup for amateur drivers, members oi the association, came next, the horses being in the 2:30 class. There were four entries, Kinmont, driven by Dr. Ralph Hagan; General Boodle, by Godfrey Fritz; California Poppy. Mr. H G. Garland, and Ed- mond S„ by William Morgan, but the latter was with- drawn and the race was won by Kinmont in straight heats, with Fritz Boodle (as he was called) second, and the Poppy third, in 2.31 and 2:30. The third regular race of the day was a broken heat affair like the one of the preceding day; and like that one it W'as a most bitter fight. Nine horses were on the card, pacers of the 2:20 class, and four savagely contested heats, with one dead heat and two eyebrow finishes, was the condition of things up to dusk, when the judges postponed the race till Thurs- day. Welcome Mack, being a local horse, had a great many more friends than any of the others and brought $20 in pools, against $10 for Victor Platte (who had a strong following from San Diego), and $S for the field. He beat Victor Platte so easily in the first heat that there was no more betting, except in the mutuals, which were sold exclusively on heats. The time was 2:13%. and the San Diego men said that no such time as that would take Victor's measure after he had once got warmed up to his work. The second heat was as spirited a contest as ever was seen in this State, Birdal, a big roan mare, getting away in the lead and holding it by two lengths to the quarter in ::::'L.. to the half in 1:06. with Welcome Mac coming on al a furious clip. He cut her lead down to a single length at the three-quarters in 1:40, and then Fanning brought Victor up like a whirlwind. Cries of "Come mi, Fred," "Hurry up. Ward." and "Give it to her, Kelly," resounded from all parts of the grandstand. Each driver was straining every effort to win, but [November 25, 1905 the judges were unable to separate them and declared it a dead heat between Welcome Mac and Birdal, witl Victor Platte less than a length behind the leaders Fear Not was fourth, J. A. C. fifth, Norda sixth Henry N. Seventh and Connors eighth. Time, 2:12. The third heat wras Welcome Mac's, for he got oft well in his stride and led by a length to the quarter where Birdal joined him and lay on his wheel all thl way, Victor Platte dropping back and allowing Fear- not to work into the third place. The quarter wa: faster than in any previous heat (32%), and the hal: was done in 1:05, but the pace seemed to flag arounc the turn, as they were at the three-quarters in 1:38% but there came a severe rally from there on, Welcomt Mac winning by two length from Bridal with Fear- not a good third, J. A. C. and Connors being dis- tanced. Pools were now resumed, the field bringing $8 to Welcome Mac's $10. There was a straggling start for .the fourth heat of which Birdal got decidedly the best and went the quarter in 32%, where Welcome Mac began move up. At the half they were going great gu and Birdal was already in trouble, for Fearnot h: passed her as they swung into the lowrer turn. Ju: then Fred Fanning made a spectacular drive passed Birdal. then Fearnot, and set sail for the brown son of grand old McKinney. On he came 1 a maelstrom on the rugged Norway coast, getting even terms with Mac at the draw-gates and beati him home a scant length in 2:11%, the fastest hei of the race, amid deafening cheers.

MILLARD SANDERS TO WINTER IN CALIFORNIA. RESULTS AT TULARE. dam dam SALE OF MACKEY YEARLINGS. Chicago Horseman: Millard Sanders, the man who made Lou Dillon 1:58% the queen of the turf, last week stopped over in Chicago for a few days on his way to Pleasanton, Cal. Mr. Sanders has resigned as trainer for John H. Shults. For two years he trained the youngsters by Axworthy and in 1904 he made them the most talked of lot of colts in the country, with the result that they brought the highest average when sold in Madison Square Garden last winter. During his connection with Mr. Shults he started sons and daughters of Axworthy in ten races, won seven of them and was second once. This year he trained a large number of two and three-year-olds at Memphis, and later at Cleveland. On August 15 he received several yearlings, and before he sent them home to New York he had educated two of them to the point where he was confident that he could put both of them in the list. He was ambitious to do so as he has put eight yearlings in the list and these two would have made an even ten. The two and three-year-olds were not engaged in the futurities, as at the time they were bred Mr. Shults had decided to quit the trotters and race a' stable of runners. Consequently there was no chance to show what the youngsters could accomplish in company. He devoted the entire season to their edu- cation, however, and refused to take a stable of aged race horses, because of an understanding that the colts would be raced in 1906. When Mr. Shults re- cently decided to sell all the colts and not campaign any next year Mr. Sanders promptly resigned. He is a marvel at making speed with youngsters but he does not care to develop them exclusively for the sales ring. It is rumored, although Mr. Sanders would not con- firm it, that he has an eye on several of the get of Sidney Dillon that are now owned in California, and it is probable that he will have a number of them to train at the Pleasanton track. It is not to be won- dered that Sanders is sweet on them for he developed and marked Lou Dillon in 1.58% behind a dirt shield, and last year he drove her without the pacemaker in front a mile "in 2:01. There was an impression that the queen of the turf w-as not as good last season as the year previous, but when one compares her performances with that of Dan Patch with and without the runner in front, there seems to be little on which to base an argument. Dan Patch has paced a mile in 1:55 with the pacemaker in front and one in 1:58 without, a difference of three seconds. The dif- ference between Lou Dillon's two records is 2% sec- onds, so that the queen must have had as much speed in 1904 as in 1903. A VALUABLE HORSE REMEDY. Every horse owner Is interested in knowing how to cure and ■■event the spread of distemper, epizootio, pinkeye and similar llments among their stock. Therefore this publication takes 'eat pleasure in publishing a few unsolicited words of recom- mendation concerning Craft's Distemper Cure, which is prepared ? the Wells Medicine Co , Lafajette, Ind. This remedy has so early established its efficiency and reliability ibat it Is justly ltltled to all that can be said in its favor. It probably has no lual as a remedy for the prevention and spread of the various rms of distemper. It gives positive and julck results, as Ihou- .Qdsof veterinary surgeons, breeders, trainers and others tes- ty. We are informed that the remedy may be obtained from ost all druggists throughout the country; but when it can not to'jtalned from dealers it will be sent direct, prepaid, by the 'ells Medicine Co., from whom can also be had free of cbaree a ■ luable 31 pige booklet entitled "Veterinary Pointers," which 3 would aivise all our readers to send for. It contains much .luable information concerning some of the most prevalent and ost dreaded diseases of horses and colts. CONCORD RACE TRACK ITEMS. The first sale of thoroughbred yearlings bred by lohn Mackey and raised at the Langendur Ranch, in, ■ folo county, took place at Fred H. Chase & Co.'s sales- rard in this city Friday evening of last week and was luite successful The sales were as follows: Bal colt by imp. Canopus, dam Angelique by imp. )arebin, to James Touhey for $200. Chestnut colt by imp. Paladin, dam Atlantis by imp. Midlothian, to J. J. Moran for $125. : Bay colt by Bedeck, dam Calora by imp.

Chestnut colt by imp. Canopus, dam Location by mp. Prospector, to James Touhey for $500. Bay colt by Vesuvian, dam Peril by imp Darebin, o H. Schwartz for $200. Chestnut filly by Bedeck, dam Sunol by imp. St. drew, to J. Painter for $425. lay colt by imp. Canopus, dam Temblor by imp. eviot, to C. Fink for $750. ay colt by Vesuvian, dam Tillie S. by Major Ban. Hearst Estate for $125. ay colt by imp. Canopus, dam Venezia by Floren- In, to D. McCarty for $100. Bay colt by Vesuvian. dam Wilda by imp. Brutus, D Grant Edson for $150. Total for fourteen head, $4450, an average of nearly 31S. The new owners and others interested in the race track met last Saturday afternoon and formulated plans for the improvement of the property. It was decided to improve the old buildings, put up a high fence along the county road, pipe water to the build- ings and build sixty new stalls. There was some talk of covering about one-quarter of a mile, which had been cut down to clay, with red loam the same as the other portion of the track. This will make the track the same all the way around and will be a good winter track. Sid Roach, the two year old, looks like a race horse coming up the stretch. M. Perry has tried his new Sidmour colt for a quar- ter. He says he has a future race winner. Mr. Curry and his son Ruben were out to see S. R. Curry's two year old Sidmoor filly speed. She showed a 2:48 gait for one-eighth and a 3:00 gait for one-half mile. Pretty good for two weeks' work in the speed cart. It is said that a horseman's love for a certain breed of horses that he has owned will extend to the third and fourth generations. There must be something in this, for Nelson Clanton drove out to the track last week to see Mr. Durham work Flyaway for the best mile ever trotted over the track by any horse. He was also greatly pleased with the two-year-old colt Sid Roach, when he went the mile out in 2:57%, the last eighth in 2D% seconds. Both these horses' dams are by Conductor, and Mr. Clanton could see the good staying qualities of the Conductor blood come to the surface as they came up the homestretch. What is the matter with having a two-year-old race for a Christmas dinner— so many nice two-year-olds. There is M. Perry. David Roach, Williams Brothers, J. E. Durham, Pat Roach and others, each of whom could enter a speedy animal for an interesting race. The Horgan Futurity Stake, foals of 1905, to be held over the Concord race track next year, promises to have many entries. Entry blanks have been sent out and nominations will close January 1st. Among the entries for the Pacific Breeders' Futur- ity, valued at $7000, from Contra Costa county are Dr. J. Wallace DeWitt and E. B. Whelehan of An- tioch and G. O.

THE QUAILS OF THE UNITED STATES. By Sylvester D. Judd, Assistant United States Biological Survey. (Continued from last week) California Quail. The California quail is generally dispersed over i ilifornia below an altitude of S.000 feet and extends Into southern Oregon and western Nevada. This name is used here to cover both the typical Califor- nia quail — Lophortyx californicus — and the paler, more southerly form, called the valley quail — L. c. vallicola. It has been introduced into Washington Ish Columbia, and efforts to introduce it Into Hi" Hawaiian Islands also have proved very ■t'ul, although of late years its numbers there Euced by the mongoose, by which in tirn> : to be exterminated. Two geo- ins of the bird are recognized, a dark light one, but as they do not differ in are not distinguished in the following i. It Is a beautiful bird with a most pleasing ii colors and markings, its head being i bj a glossy black crest, narrow at the base i . widening into gracefully recurving the markings on the underparts re- i ents brush-covered hill- ourses and the as well as vineyards and other cultivated fie] Is. rig lime of the species to locality and condi- to E .

This quail is even more confiding than the bobwhite, and frequently comes about farm buildings to eat with the chickens. It has been known to lay in confinement, and appears to yield readily to semidomestication. The valley quail has acquired the interesting habit of posting sentinels when feeding, which is described in detail by John J. Williams. Mr. Williams ob- served a flock enter a field and begin to feed, while a sentinel took his station in a peach tree and scanned the country about for danger. Presently he was relieved by a second bird, who took up a position on a brush pile and a little later was relieved by a third, who kept guard while the other two fed with the flock. (Condor, vol. 5, pp. 146-14S, 1903.) Writing in 1891 Clark P. Streator says that abou^ 100,000 are sold each year in the San Francisco mar- ket'. [Their sale is now prohibited. — Ed ] It is not a perfect game bird, for it does not lie well to a dog. and when once flushed has a habit of running that is exasperating to the sportsman. The best way to hunt these quail is to keep the dog at heel and to run down the birds. This is likely to make them take wing and to break up the covey. The same result may be accomplished also by discharging the gun in the air. When a covey has been scattered in suitable cover they will lie well enough to a trained dog to give the hunter considerable sport, though it is poor in comparison with that afforded by the bobwhite. The beauty of this quail, its pleasant call notes, and its confidence in man make it a fav- orite except where it damages the grape crop. In fall and winter where it is abundant hundreds of birds unite in great packs. Bendire. writing in 1892 says that within a decade packs of 500 were often found, but that at that time coveys even of fifty were rare in most places. (Life Hist. N. Am. Birds [I], p. 24, 1892.) In the fall of 1891 they were still very abundant on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, where B W. Nelson, of the Bio- logical Survey, records their slaughter by pot hunt- ers The hunters stationed themselves behind a brush blind near the one spring where the birds came to drink. Thousands of them flocked thither for water dur- ing the dav, and bv waiting until many birds were bunched the hunters killed at least a score at each discharge of the gun. In a week of this butchery S400 quails were killed. A record of 52o birds to four guns in a day in February, 1903, near San Diego, Cal shows that birds are still abundant there, though far less numerous in most places than for- merly. (Recreation, vol. 18, p. 368, 1893.) The California quail might be introduced success- fully in many sections between California and Texas where it does not occur at present. It already has been introduced into Colorado, where it will be pro- tected by law at all seasons until 1920. Laws to prevent trapping and to limit the day's bag. together with absolute protection in sections where neces- sary, should suffice to preserve this beautiful spec.es. Food Habits. The general food habits of this quail have been ascertained by the examination of 601 stomachs, and it proves to be one of the most largely vegetarian of game birds The material for investigation was collected in California, and represents every month of the vear except May. Insects furnished but 2.1o per cent of the food, and leaves, seeds, and fruit 97.85 per cent. Insect and Other Animal Food. The 2.15 per cent of animal food eaten by this quail is distributed as follows: Spiders, 0.03 per cent; beetles, 0.22 per cent; grasshoppers and crickets, 0.24 per cent; ants and other Hymenoptera, 0.67 per cent; miscellaneous insects, 0.99 per cent. The beetles are both adults and larvae, and belong to the following families. Chrysomelidoe (leaf-eating beetles), Tenebrionidoe (darking beetles), Elateridoe (wire-worms), Carabidoe (ground beetles), Dermes- tidoe (dermestids), Coccinellidoe (ladybirds), and snout beetles (suborder Bhynchphora). The leaf- eating beetles include Diabrotica soror, a western representative of the destructive twelve-spotted cu- cumber beetle Flea beetles also are eaten, includ- ing species of the genus Haltica. Among the mis- cellaneous leaf-eating beetles may be mentioned the brilliant Gastroidea coesia. Conspicuous among the ground beetles eaten is the common Agonoderus pallipes, and among the useful predaceous lady-birds the species Hippodamia convergens. Like the east- ern bobwhite, the California quail feeds on ants of the families Formieidoe and Myrmicidoe. Sometimes twenty to thirty-five ants are taken at a meal. Of the other Hymenoptera. gall insects (Cynipidoe) and their sails make a significant proportion. Cater- pillars and their pupae are eaten. Cut-worms (Agrotic). measuring worms (Geometridoe), sphinx caterpillars (including Deilephila). and the cotton bollworm (Heliothis obseleta) make up the greater part of this food. Like the bobwhite again, this bird shows a relish for bugs. It eats leaf bugs (Capsidae), bugs of the chinch bug family, such as is truculent'.s and L. bitriangularis. and stink ' bugs (Fenlatomidoe), assassin bugs (Reduviidoe). Imgs (Aradidoe), burrower bugs (Crytomenus), leal hoppers (Jassidoe). tree hoppers (Membracidoe). plant Hi", and bugs of the genus Scolops (Fulgor- i !i I. The miscellaneous animal matter taken in- cludes Hies (Lucillia eapesar). spiders, and snails. Vegetable Food — Fruit. The vegetable food of this quail amounts to 97 per cent of its diet. The bird has an unsavory rep" tation among fruit growers, especially the owne of vineyards. Relative to this subject, Miss Flo ence A. Merriam, writing from San Diego count Cal., says: "In fact, the quail were so abundant as to be pest. For several years great flocks of them can down the canyons to Major Merriam's vineyar where they destroyed annually from twenty to thir tons of fruit. In one season — July to October, 1SS1 one hundred and thirty dozen (1,560) were trappt on his ranch. The result of this wholesale destru- tion was manifest when I returned to the valley 1S94. The birds were then rarely seen on the roi and seldom flushed in riding about the valley." ( XIII, p. 116, 1896.) When this species becomes superabundant plays havoc with crops it is well to remember tl it can be so easily checked. W. H Osgood, of Biological Survey, has furnished the writer data ( the frugivorous habits of the quail in central Cal fornia. In one vineyards he saw a flock of abo' a thousand eating zinfandel grapes. The birds ( much damage in September, when the young molting and they have collected in packs, as befo described. Walter E. Bryant, writing of the damage to fru offers testimony on the other side: In some parts of California there is a strong p: judice against the quail, owing to alleged dam: to the grape. The evidence which I have thus gathered shows that the quail do pick at the buni of grapes, and not alone those bunches which near or on the ground; but the damage which t] cause seems overestimated. Too often mutil; bunches of grapes are supposed to be due to presence of quail in the vineyard; but there other birds and mammals, also, which vary their with grapes. I have examined a number of qu; crops and gizzards without finding the presence grapes, although the birds had been shot near ar in vineyards. A quail's crop sent to me from L( Gatos, by Mr. A. H. Hawley, contained twenty-fi small grapes; others had a few grapes, seeds, ai poison-oak berries (Zoe, IV, p. 56, 1893.) In the 601 stomachs of the valley quail examint by the Biological Survey grapes formed only 0 per cent of the annual food. This small quanti is due, no doubt, to the fact. that many of the bin were shot in regions remote from vineyards many of them during the time when grapes wi not in fruit. The total proportion of all kinds fruit was only 7.60 per cent, an amount so insigi cant as to preclude the idea of serious dam; Where the birds are over-abundant and the co; quent damage great, trapping or advertising the ci ditions in sporting papers will probably result reducing the numbers to normal. Of the 7.60 cent of fruits, grapes, as before stated, contri 0.01 per cent; plants of the genus Rhus, mainly diversiloba, 4.74 per cent, and miscellaneous f; prunes, and vaccinium, 2.S5 per cent. The maxi: quantity of fruit, amounting to 32.40 per cent the month, was taken in December, after the grap had been picked. Grain. The relations of the California quail to grain a of considerable economic importance. W. T. Cr; of San Francisco, writes to the Department of A culture: "I have observed the quail enter a fiel wheat to the number of thousands, and had not been driven away they would have destroyed whole crop." No other reports to the Biologic Survey show the danger to grain from this quail be so scf ious, but data at hand show that it do more or less damage to germinating grain, quail shot by Walter E. Bryant on a newly-si grain field had eaten, respectively, 1S5 kernels 210 kernels of barley. (Zoe, IV, p. 55, 1S93.) Bao is important in California, where it is grown hay. for grain feed, and for beer making. There : however, much volunteer barley, which many speci of birds feed on and thus do good rather than nan It is probable that quail do little or no harm to ba ley at harvest time, and the waste grain that thi subsequently gather in stubble fields has no posit! value. Of the yearly food of the 601 quail examlni 6. 15 per cent was grain, divided as follows: Barle 4.58 per cent; wheat, 0.44 per cent; corn and oal 1.16 per cent. Leaves. In its habit of feeding on foliage the Californ quail differs from the bobwhite and resembles tl ruffed grouse. Such food forms 22.73 per cent the vegetable matter eaten. In February, when tl bobwhite is weathering blizzards, the California qtu is enjoying balmy weather and feeding on browse the extent of SO per cent of its food. Most of th browse consists of leaves of leguminous plants, prh cipally clovers. Bur clover (Medicago denticulata a weed that grows in cultivated laud and along in gation ditches, appears to supply most of the forag Alfalfa and clovers of the genus alfalfa form mo of the remaining leguminous green food. Next legumes the finely divided leaves of alfilaria,! "filaree" (Erodium), are important. Grass, chicl weed (Alsine media), the leaves of fern, geraniul oxalis, and groundsel-bush (Baccharis) also furni: forage for the quail. W. W. Cooke reports that ne: Grand Junction. Colo., where the California coa! quail has been introduced and thrives wonderfull market gardeners regard it as a nuisance. (Bir-; D of Colorado, App. 2, p. 202, 1900.) Weed Seeds. Different seeds, largely of weeds, furnish the Cal fornia quail 59.77 per cent of its year's diet. Legum contribute 17 S7 per cent; alfilaria, 13. 3S per cen compositae, 5.55 per cent; the spurge family (Ei phorbiaceoe), 5.S5 per cent, and miscellaneous planl 17.12 per cent. Leguminous seeds are liked best 1 the bird, and make up 17.87 per cent of the seed di I November 25, W05J <&hs i»itevoLv ,u^^ gppovimtxan 9 or the year and 46.1 per cent of its food for June. 3ur clover yields abundance of seeds as well as for- ige. Its seed pod is peculiar, much elongated, beset vith long:, sharp spines, and spirally coiled into a ■oundish bur. The quail swallows it whole, regard - ess of spines. This food is highly nutritious and is elished by stock as well as by birds and wild mam- nals. Seeds of closely allied plants, such as alfalfa, ,-etch, cassias, cultivated beans and peas, and clovers f the genera Trifolium, Lespedeza, and Melilotus Iso are in the quail's list, as well as locust (Rob- ma) and lupines, the latter taken in large quan- :ities. They include the seeds of Lupinus nanus, I.. nicranthus, and L sparsiflorus. Other leguminous jeeds are eaten in great numbers, including a small jeanlike seed, Lotus glaber, which looks much like miniature Frankfurt sausage, and an unidentified, ilmost microscopic square seed, with a notch in its ?dge. possibly some species of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus). Nearly all of the leguminous plants that furnish the quail with seeds belong in the category " at weeds. Seeds of weeds from other families of plants make no less than 41.S9 per cent of the annual food. Seeds of compositae yield 5.55 per cent, such injuri- ;s weeds as thistles making up the largest part of lis percentage. The thistles most often eaten are ;ntaurea melitensis, C. americana, C. solstitialis, riana mariniana, Conchus sp., and Carduus sp. M. riniana has the largest seeds. Ninety of these .d been eaten by a quail shot by F. E Le Beal at Sywards, Cal., August 15, 1903. The seeds of the __.r thistle (Centaurea melitensis) are smaller and have a hook at one end and a set of spines like a paint brush at the other. They are, perhaps, most iked of all composite seeds. From 500 to S00 are en eaten at a meal. The destruction of this seed highly beneficial, for the bur thistle is trouble- ime to farmers. Wild carrot (Daucus carota), tar feed (Madia sativa), wild lettuce (Lactuca sp.), may- weed (Anthemis cotula), and marsh elder (Iva xanthifolia) furnish most of the remaining see3s of composite plants. Tar weed is a favorite source of food, and one stomach, collected at Wastonville, Cal., by J. S. Hunter, contained 700 of these seeds. Another stomach, from the same place, held 2,000 tiny seeds of dog fennel, or mayweed From seeds of plants belonging to the spurge fam- ily (Euphorbiaceoe) come 5. 85 per cent of the annual food. Spurges, particularly Croton setigerus. com- limonly known as turkey mullein, are a staple with ■the California quail as with most other seed-eating Ibirds. So fond are the quail of turkey mullein that their crops are often completely distended with the Iseeds, sometimes from 500 to 900 to a bird. Turkey fcmullein is a prostrate plant covered with a whitish, B woolly pubescence, and often used by the Indians hto poison fish. Seeds of alfilaria (Erodium cicu- tarium and other species), which is both a weed and a forage plant, are eagerly sought. They are ; lance-shaped, furnished with a long, elaborate, cork- screw awn ending in a thin spine. They burrow jinto sheep's wool and even pierce the skin. The ! alfilaria is one of the few seeds of the West that Sail seed-eating birds consume. The plant is very abundant in California, and the quail often eats from 1,000 to 1,600 of the little corkscrew seeds at a 'meal. It affords 13.38 per cent of the year's food, and 26.70 per cent of the June diet. ; Seeds of miscellaneous weeds comprise 17 11 per cent of the annual food. Among the species included i are pigweed (Chenopodium album), rough pigweed , (Amaranthus retroflexus), and black mustard (Bras- asica nigra) — especially obnoxious in grain fields — and [the closely related weed, wild radish (Raphanus sativus). Seeds of shepherd's purse (Bursa bursa- pastoris) and of other cruciferous plants are in- . eluded in common with silene and the chickweeds | (Cerastium sp. and Alsine media). Geranium seeds (are so much relished that often 300 or 400 are eaten at a time. Two closely related plants, miner's let- tuce (Montia perfoliata) and red maids (Calandrinia menziesii), bear minute shiny black seeds that often jare eaten by the thousand. The little seeds of 'red sorrel (Rumex acetosella) and curled dock (Rumex crispus) are occasionally taken in almost as large numbers. Seeds of chess (Bromus secalinus and , Bromus hordeaceus), a serious grain pest, are rel- ished, and hundreds of the grain-like seeds of the grass known as "poison darnel" (Lolium temulen- tum) appear in crops examined. Macoun, quoting Spreadborough. states that in British Columbia, where it winters successfully, the quail finds shelter in severe weather under the broom (Cytisus sco- parius). which in places grows abundantly and yields seed for subsistence. (Cat. Can. Birds, Part I, p. 198. 1900.) The quail feeds also at times on mast A. K. Fisher, in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the last of July, found both young and adult quail eating young acorns. (N. A. Fauna. No. 7. p. 2S. 1893.) Small quantities of sedge seeds (Carex and Scirpus) and of dodder (Cuscuta) are eaten, the latter plant being a destructive parasite on legumi- nous forage crops. The miscellaneous seed list in- cludes also stick seeds (Lappula pp.). buttercup (Ranunculus sp.), bind weed (Convolvulus sp.), Am- sinckia sp., Anagallis arvensis, plain tain (Plantago major), ribgrass (Plantago lanceolata), painted cup (Castilleja sp.), mountain lilac (Ceanothus sp.). and black wattle (Callicoma serratifolia) In the moun- tains of Lower California the food supply deter- mines the breeding time of birds. If there is not enough rain for a good supply of seeds the coveys Of quail do not break up into nesting pairs but re- main in coveys throughout the summer. If the sea- son is wet and the winter rains promise abundant food the birds mate in March and begin nesting im- mediately. (Life Hist. N. A. Birds [I], p. 27, I 12.) (To be continued.) OUT-CROSSING AND ITS METHODS. The subject of cross-breeding, or. more correctly, the out-breeding of dogs, is of great interest, and may soon be also one of great importance to the kennel world, writes J. Sidney Turner, in The Illus- trated Kennel News To establish a new breed of dogs by cross-breeding, unless carried out with some knowledge of the laws of breeding, would be a diffi- cult task, and require long time to secure anything like stability of type. No doubt this has been accom- plished to a certain extent— e. g., in Retrievers, which are popularity supposed to be a cross between our old Setter and a New foundland, or more probably a Labrador, at least in the case of the fiat coated variety. Poodle or Irish Water Spaniel blood may have been used in the curly coated breed. The Re- triever, however, is not merely the result of a cross between the varieties, but the breed has been estab- lished in its present form by careful selections of specimens and by again infusing some of the parent blood. It becomes, then, a very important matter, in the first instance, how any particular outcross is made, and, in the second, whether the progeny of this outcross is bred back with one or other of the parent factors, or the progeny is bred "inter se." The terms "outbred," "crossbred" and "hybrid" should be used quite differently, and really imply three dif- ferent degrees. By "outbred" it should be understood that an out- cross with another variety has been made, the pro- geny of which has been bred back again to an indi- vidual of the same breed as one of the parent factors. Now. one of the parent factors, which we will call A, will probably be dominant in some leading char- acter: and the other parent factor, called B, recessive in that character; their mongrel progeny will show the dominant character, but will contain the reces- sive and dominant gametes in equal proportions. If the mongrels be bred "inter se," one-quarter, 25 per cent, will resemble the dominant parent factor; one- half, 50 per cent, will still be mongrels, indistinguish- able, or nearly so, from the former, and one-quarter, or 25 per cent, will resemble the recessive parent fac- tor: if the recross be made with the other original factor (or a similarly bred factor), which, not being the dominant, is called the recessive, then the result will be. on the average, that half the progeny will resemble the original (the recessive parent, and half the other parent or the mongrel half-bred. Let A be the dominant, B the recessive and Aa the mongrel taking the dominant character. A x B Strike — if they don't give you Jackson's Napa Soda , when you ask for it. i !i i A Aa Aa B So that, if Ave desire to get the character of B maintained in the next, or third, generation, when mated back to another B, we shall have what is vir- tual purity; at all events, the breeding will be true. It is not to be supposed that this will be an in- variable result, especially if the breeding be carried out on a small scale: but, if a sufficiently large num- ber of experiments be taken into account Csay a few hundreds, or. better still, a few thousands), the same ratio will be found to exist. This is the theory. It would be difficult to lay down a strictly definite rule as to what outcross might or might not be allowed. It would be absurd, for instance, to cross a Fox with a Skye Terrier, or an Irish "Water Spaniel and a Cocker. It would be much less absurd to cross a Greyhound with Bulldog (less so had Bull Terrier been used), as was done in the beginning of the last century. It is difficult, therefore, to define any hard and fast line; any outcross, however, must be made with careful consideration as to its utility. The above will serve to define what I mean by outbreeding. Cross breeding may be defined simply as the breed- ing between any two breeds of the species of "Canis domesticus": hybridism as the result of a cross be- tween two distinct species of the dog family ("Can- aidae") — e. g.. the dog and wolf cross. As the pro- geny of this cross will breed again, it can hardly be looked upon as true hybrid, as it is generally ac- cepted by naturalists that true hybrids never breed. The wolf would thus appear to be more nearly allied to the domestic deg than is generally recognized. The offspring of an outcross is likely to exceed in size and weight those of the mean of its two parents, but as a general rule it also strengthens the consti- tution and confers a greater power "f resistance to disease. Great care, however, should be taken that the outcross should possess strength and vitality, as the result of breeding two weakly specimens together ially if their weak points are similar) will probably be of no advantage The first result of any outcross will be that one variety will be dominant over the other as regards some outward character, and it by no means follows that the parent possessing the most marked charact rs — e. g., color and coat — will be the most potent to | ro lUC these in the off- spring. The probabilit! is tl i the dominant char- a« i' r of that i.i renl ■ est t" the oi .;. i! !. 03 the normal, will be found to be reproduced; hut I believe it i.s imposs ' i prio to be degree certain. We, ho found this to be the case in the rabbits, whei orl brown fur was dominant over the I the normal black eyes were domh ml over the pink. Results were also similar in the case ol ither ex- ample in dogs (though it is not rigl by an isolated example), we notice the effect of the cross between a long-faced Greyhound and short-faced Bulldog, where the offspring, "Half-and-Half." de- picted in Stonehei was long-faced, though not so long as the Greyhound parent probable, still much longer than the mean of the two parents. The Greyhound's head exceeds the normal length while the Bulldog's is much below it, the result being that the normal wild or feral type, as seen in the dingo, is reverted to. However, I wish to show that, no matter what the dominant type in the offspring may be, the off- spring contains in its germinal cells (its br< ties) the elements which are inherent in both of the parents— recessive though they may be— and which was enunciated by George Mendel, an Aus- trian monk, who first published it in the joui i the Brunn Scientific Society in 1S65. No biologist ap- pears to have paid much attention to this brilliant discovery until 1900. but since that time the cele- brated botanists. De Yries. Correns an I Tschermak, and equally well known zoologists like Professor Bateson. of Cambridge: A. D. Darbishire, of Oxford; Dr. Allen, Miss Durham, C. C Hunt. F. L. S., and W. E. Castle, in America, have carried out an enor- mous number of experiments on plants, white and other mice and Angora and Belgian hare (so-called) rabbits, with the most interesting results. In the case of the mice, white albino mice and the yellow and white, but black eyed. Japanese waltzing mice were used. All the mongrel progeny were black eyed mice, as the black eye, being the normal, was dominant, and the pink eye recessive; but when the mongrels, or hybrids, were bred "inter se," one-fourth, or 25 per cent, again had pink eyes; and when the mon- grels were mated back to a pink eyed mouse one-half had pink eyes and the other half the normal black. When, however, in the third generation extracted white pink eyed mice (bred from the mongrels "inter se") were mated with a pure bred white mouse all had pink eyes; and they continued to breed purely, as though there had been no outcross. Similar re- sults were obtained by Mr. Hurst in his experiments with white Angora long haired, pink eyed rabbits and the brown Belgians. All the first progeny — forty-two — had short brown coats. The crosses were made reciprocally — i.-e.. a white Angora buck and brown Belgian doe, and the reverse cross by a brown Bel- gian buck and white Angora doe; but the results were identically the same This proves, as regards the coat, that sex of sire or dam had no effect. Sim- ilar results as with the mice followed the breeding in the second generation of the mongrel rabbits — that is to say, one-fourth of the progeny were An- goras and three-fourths had brown short coats. The exact numbers were seventeen and fifty- three, re- spectively. In all statistics dealing with limited num- bers, the numbers cannot be quite exact, but if they are so near the mark as to show that the law is operative, and the same result is always repeated, the law must be accepted as established. The sub-committee appointed by the Kennel Club to deal with this will doubtless take into considera- tion the amount of outcrossing and how that has been neutralized by- subsequent breeding, so that the requisite amount of purity of any breed of dogs in question has been maintained. Into the question of desirability for an outcross I do not propose to enter, as it is sufficiently obvious in many of the breeds of degs which could be readily enumerated. It has been said above that the outcross should be defined as one made "with another variety." Strictly speaking, it should be with another variety of the same breed — e. g., in the Spaniel group or the Setter group. There may. however, arise cases where the groups as defined in the K. C. Index of Breeds may be too limited and specialized. Roughly speak- ing, there are groups, comprising Hounds, hunting by scent; Greyhound type of dog, hunting by sight; Setter, Spaniel. Retriever, Terrier. Mnlossus, Sheep- dog. Bulldog and Spitz groups, besides others which cannot be classed under any of the above head — can again be made to manifest themselves in future offspring This can be done in two ways: either by inter-breeding of the mongrels, when, according to Mendel's law. one- fourth of their progeny will re- assume the recessive character < which had appar - ently disappeared), and then using this one-fourth to recross to the desired strain, when something very near approaching real purity will have been attained: or the more direct method of breeding the mongrel first generation back to the desired strain, when one- half of the offspring will be virtually pure, and this half bred again into the desired strain will give the purity desired, and which will continue, and which will continue. Anyway, we see that it takes three generations of correct breeding to re-establish the purity of ihe breed from which the outcross was made: and anything which does not come within i hese or similar conditions should be suspected and 1:-- marke i by a "bar sinister." which ought not to be removed from the family escutcheon at earliest before the third generation has been established. Much more m'.ght be written upon this subject, 'but for the purpose of defining what is meant by an outcross the above "'ill be sumcieni- l have not men- 1 1' tied some curie us and altogether unexpected re- sults in (he later experiments of Mr. Hurst with his rabbits, nor how colors and markings altogether dif- fering from either original parent arose En subsequent offspring, such a. black, silver i dutch- mark-' I si m \ desci ion of how these colors arose I only confuse and they are, ed, still su'\;>->ts -I' !!:■■ stigati m.

Dr. Kl ■ ■ acquired Collies of international ... one of which he benched in Bos- r il was taken from the steamer, it won blue ribbons in every class in which it was entered. i > these the most noted is the bitch Rippowam's ,. Champion Bo-Peep was whelped near I, winning her championship in Eng- land, and again in this country. She has won about 100 first prizes and special trophies and has. never ..,:! for first place. She is a wonderfully fine bitch, with the reputation of having one of the gi si and best heads of any Collie bitch in America. Winnetka Countess is every bit a Collie. She has every trait and expression of the breed. Countess is a perfect golden sable and white, with white col- lar, white breast, legs, and tip of tail. She was sired by the famous Champion Ballyarnett Eclipse, and has the characteristics of her great sire. When only nine months old she was benched at Portland, where she won entirely through the Collie class, besides winning five special trophies. She repeated this at S tie in October last, where she ran up to seven of her ten necessary points for an A. K. C. cham- pionship. Before coming to Dr. Kloeber's kennels. Countess won largely in the Eastern shows. Bo-Peep, the first named, is a full sister of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan's famous Collie. Champion Wis- haw Clinker, who won the trophy for best dog of any breed in the show of the Westminster Kennel Club show last year. Brookmere Hazel is a beautiful young bitch with perfect markings and a head of rare type. She won three trophies at the Collie Breeders' Association show at Chicago last spring, and first novice at Spo- kane. She promises to develop into a great winner. Glen Tana Mollie comes, prior to her advent on the Coast, from Mr. Palmer's kennels near New York City, and is a daughter of the famous Champion Rightaway. Mollie has always stood second to the other dogs in Dr. Klober's kennels in the bench shows. Winnetka Wallace, and Winnetka Wildfire are both sons of Champion Christopher and are the most prom- ising pair of Collie puppies in the West. They are perfect sable and white dogs, with heads of rare perfection, perfect ear carriage and splendidly coated. Experts look for these puppies to develop something that will make history in the Collie world. Craigmore Councillor is a son of Champion Park- hill Perfection and is a remarkably fine specimen of the breed. The dogs are immensely popular with the guests of the Green River Hot Springs? and are a never end- ing source of amusement for those living at the hoel. They make friends with every guest and the different dogs always have some favorite among the guests. They know the regular patrons of the place as they come from time to time, and always extend their welcome. Great Dane Puppies. O.

Bad Faith in a Dog Sale. C. W. Buttles, of Kansas City, who was suspended for miserpresentation in selling a dog, by the Pacific Advisory Board, has appealed to the A. K. C. It is claimed Mr. Buttles proposes to secure favorable testimony, for his side of the case, from Mr. Jas. Cole of Kansas City. From what is known of this phase of the matter — prior to Mr. Buttles' appeal — we are inclined to be- lieve the appellant, who is now over his knees in the mire, will sink completely out of sight in a bog of his own creation. If what we have heard of the matter is true, permanent disqualification will prob- ably be Mr. Buttles' reward. SPORTSMEN'S CALENDARS FOR 1906. Pasadena Show.

GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. Hunting Notes. H. W. Buehne of Eureka, Humboldt county, ap- peared on Sportsmen's Row Thursday. He stated that the Eureka sportsmen have ha-d much sport shooting sea or black brant recently. The birds were more numerous than for years past. Early this week several of his fellow sportsmen were on Buehne's shooting ground, at the southern part of Humboldt bay, and bad the duck shoot of their lives. Ducks were never so plentiful as they have been for the past week or two. Duck hunting on the Suisun marshes this week has been generally excellent. The norther prevailing early this week wras accountable for the flight of ducks in that section. General results on the Alameda marshes last Sunday were better at Mt Eden than in most other sections of the marsh. The rain this week should make duck shooting gen- erally good about the bay marshes today and tomor- row. Quail hunters wr;ll no doubt appreciate the favor- able change in ground and cover conditions brought about by the rains. PETERS CARTRIDGE CO 'S CALENDAR Striped Bass Notes. Between forty and fifty rods were at work on San Antonio slough last Sunday. The best catch was made by J. G. Bliss; a twenty-five pounder and a twelve and one-half pound fish were his catch. Not more than fifteen fish summed up the total catch. A large number of anglers were also at Schell slough. Results were also fair. Numbers of striped bass, fairly good sized ones, are being caught at Vallejo Trolling from the Star Mills, South Vallejo. up stream to the "graveyard," is Hi.' lust fishing ground. The San Francisco Striped Bass Club held an en- joyable outing at Vallejo Junction. The best catch of the day was made by Chef Breidenstein — a savory clam chowder, which was put away in regulation order by the anglers present. The San Francisco Striped Bass Club are contem- lating tin ■ purchase of a fine, large ark. If acquired i" Ho club, tlie ark will be located in San Antonio slough. Two Art Works. Two elegant calendars for next year issued by th , DuPont Powder Company and the Laflin & Rani ^ Powder Company will be issued and ready for distri bution next month. The regular size of these calen dars is 15 by 29% inches. They are lithographed t from twelve to fourteen colors. The cuts received originally were too large for on columns and pending the arrival of smaller cuts w call the attention of sportsmen to their publication. The DuPont calendar is a strikingly good represen tation of a duck shooting incident, the Laflin & Ram calendar illustrates an episode in big game hunting- a hunter surprised in camp, under his birch ba: canoe, by a big bull moose. Both subjects are beautifully treated and the calen, dars are such as we presume every sportsman wo like to possess. Peters Cartridge Company. The calendar for 1906 issued by the Peters Ca: ridge Company is fully up to the high standard set this company in past years. It is of the usual si and depicts that proud moment in the experience a big game hunter, when he emerges from the fori depths, bringing the much przed moose head, bo on the back of his guide. The calendar is hai somely lithographed in twelve colors, and embossi and will doubtless be much sought for by deal and sportsmen generally. It will be sent to any at. dress upon application to the Peters Cartridge Com pany, Cincinnati, Ohio, with enclosure of 10 or coin to cover the cost of mailing. For the small cost and slight expense the aboS noted artistic publications should be written for, a*j once, by every sportsman. To insure a quick response, in the face of an extri large demand, we will suggest to those sending foi either, or all, of the above calendars, a mention tha the request is through the Breeder and Sportsman. Oc m stampi TRADE NOTES. A New Self-Loading Rifle. The Winchester Model 1905 self-loading rifle is I hammerless take-down, made in .32 and .35 calibers It is the first rifle of the self-loading type made foi center fire ammunition, the cartridges it handles be- ing of the modern smokeless powder type, using metal patched bullets. The .32 caliber shoots a 165-grain bullet and gives a velocity of 1400 feet seconds and a penetration of 11% inch dry pine boards with metal patched soft point bullet. The .35 caliber shoots a 180-grain bullet and gives a velocity of 1400 foot seconds and a penetration of 10% inch dry pine boards with a metal soft point patched bullet. As these fig- ures show, both cartridges give excellent penetration, and with metal patched soft point bullets they have great shocking effect on animal tissue. As its name indicates, this rifle is self-loading. The recoil of the exploded cartridge ejects the empty shell, cocks the hammer and feeds a fresh cartridge from the maga- zine into the chamber, laving the rifle ready to- be shot upon the operators pulling the trigger. The maga- zine is of the box type and holds five cartridges. B* inserting a cartridge in the chamber before placing the loaded magazine in the gun, the operator hi six shots at his disposal. The stock is 14 inches loi and finished with a rubber butt-plate; drop at co: 1% inches; drop at heel, 2% inches; length of gun over all, 40 inches. Sell = A Word to the Wise. The following: instances show some good records which speak volumes for the "Old Reliable" Parker gun: At Waco, Texas, on October 12 and 13, M. E. Atchi- son, shooting; the Parker gun, was high man, having broken 353 out of 400, at 19 yards, in a gale of wina. On August 3, at South Tacoma, Wash., Mr. E. W. Cooper won the championship at the amateur contest, having scored 25 straight, against 54 other shooters. Mr. Cooper was also third high average.. On the sec- ond day Mr. Sam Wray was third high average Bo$i of these gentlemen shoot the "Old Reliable" Parker gun. On October 27 and 2S, at Columbus, Ohio, Mr. R. S. Rhoads, shooting the Parker gun, won first general average, breaking 194 out of 200 on the first day, and 169 out of 200 on the second day. Mr. Rhoads was high average on the first day and second high average on the second day, making high general average for both days. At the Cincinnati tournament, Mr. Rhoads was high amateur and third general average, and was the only amateur who stood at 20 yards, he shoot- ing at 20 yards two days, and at 19 yards one day. All of the above are exceedingly good scores, and speak well for the "Old Reliable" Parker gun. On a hot day drink Jackson's Napa Soda lemonades and be refreshed. Averages Reported.

W. Savaee at Lexington, Ky„ Oct. 14, 1905, a ad shows Dan Patch finishing his world famous mile in 1:55&. The picture was taken just before he wire was reached and shows two well known trainers driving the runners. Scott Hudson is in front and Charley Dean on the side with Harry Hersey driving Dan. Many false statements have been circulated this year that Dan made his record behind a wind shield. All intelligent horsemen know that it was ruled, two years ago, that wind shield records would not be allowed and this photograph proves that these statements about Dan Patch were made by people who were&zr'Ignorant or Malicious. The small dirt shield can be seen and this was ruled allowable as a protection [rom the large amount of dirt thrown back by the runner.

He broke 4 World Records and the Canadian half-mile track record, traveled 6000 miles in 66 days and finished the season strong, vigorous, in perfect condition and very promising for speed exhibitions next year. He will be driven to sleigh on the streets of Minneapolis this winter, as usual, and will make a spring stud season at International Stock Food Farm, 10 miles from Minneapolis, closing June 1st, 1906. 8§THis book is rapidly filling. DAN IS NOT ONLY THE GREATEST RACE AND EXHIBITION HORSE BUT ALSO A GREAT SIREI. 1905 was the first season for his colts to race and six of them entered the list and five others have been miles below 2:20 this year. Ed Patch 2:0SJ4 leads the list by starting in 11 races and winning 7. He was second in 2 and third in 2 and has paced below 2:07. All of Dan's colts are extremely speedy and there is no question but what Dan Patch will be one of the greatest sires that has ever lived.

In all his races it was invariably Eton first and the rest nowhere and it made no difference to Dan how fast they could race. He always had a large reserve of speed that could be depended on for a race of any speed. He met and defeated Harold H. 2:04, Searchlight 2:03*4, Connor 2:03#, Indiana 2:04% and Riley B. 2 C6H just as easily as as he had defeated 2:15 horses in former races. These horses were acknowledged to be the very cream of the pacing division. The truth is. Dan was so immeasurably superior in speed and stamina that the very best horses were commonplace in comparison. In his racing career he paced fifty-six contested heats, losing only two. In oneof these he hit the wheel and in the other was held back in order to size up a field of very fast horses. His last race was his best, because with the fastest field ever opposed to him he let them do the leading and only extended himself in the last half of both miles. Having Out-Classed Him- self by a Superabundance of Speed Dan was forced to become an exhibition horse. No other race horse ever left such a wonderful record. $180,000 OFFERED FOR DSN Dan Patch 1:55 & is not only the world"s champion race and exhibition horse but he is the only harness horse in the history of the world to command an offer of SliO.OOO cash which we refused at Lexington, Ky., in 1905.

Now we have a horse we think is getting a spavin and we wish to try it on him: so you will please send us another bottle and an 8-oz box of "Save-the-Horse" Ointment.

Dear Sirs:— "Save-the-Horse" completely cured my mare of the very wurst kind of Wind Galls and Bowed Tendons, and she is now clean and perfectly sound. I used four bottles on all four legs. You would never know she ever had any- thing the matter with her. A veterinary surgeon saw her one day when her legs were swollen up to twice their natural size, and he laughed at me and said it would never take them off, but I have had the laugh on him since I will admit atone time mv faith was very weak, but the fourth bottle finished the job completely, and I thank you again for the kind way you treated me I remain yours verv truly, M. G. BYARN, 468 West I50th St. Real Estate, Estates Cared For, and Easiness Opportunities. 247 Washington St., Room2. Boston, Mass , Jan. 21. Dear Sirs:— I have used a bottle of '"Save-the- Borse," and I consider it the best thing that as yet I have been able to obtain for what it was intended, it having entirely cured a very valuable mare which has been lame since last September with a sprained ankle. We had her blistered twice and laid up for two months, but it did no good. I was just about ready to breed her when I gave it a trial; she is now entirely sound. Yours respectfully. ALBERT E. BAKER. Chatham, Mass. Gentlemen:— Three years ago a spavin ap- peared on one of my horses I spent considerable time treating it, but it began to grow and finally developed into a bog spavin as big as a hen's egg. Last May I gave the mare a long, hard drive, and the following day she refused to rest any weight upon the leg. I about decided her working d ys were over, when I saw your advertisement and sent for a bottle of *Save-the-Horse." In a few days I saw marked improvement, and in less than three months the mare traveled squarely as ever and, ceased to favor lee in any way; and now, after using about four-fifths of bottle, the swell- ing Is all gone and the cure is complete, and I most sincerely recommend your treatment for such cases.

December 2, 1905] ' lrses trotted an I paced for during the week was less than $6000, "i Bve thousand less than the amount dis- tributes at the meeting last week. Had the Los Angeles meeting been a financial success, our es- teemed correspondent would in all probability have refrained turn saying that harness racing is dead there, a statement which the Breeder and Sportsman believes is unwarranted by the facts, and which we believe Hidalgo arrived at by comparison with the running meetings held at Ascot Park during the win- ter. From the prices paid at the sale of harness horses held during the meeting we should say the trotter is s ill a very popular animal with the Los An- gelenos. and we sincerely hope an ! confidently believe that the Harness Horse Association of the southern metropolis will be a prominent member of the Call-' fornia harness racing circuit of 1906. and that it will give one or more meetings during the year that will not only be as. successful from a racing standpoint as the excellent one just held, but wili wipe out all the losses of this year's meeting and leave a balance of profit iii the treasury. THOROUGHBRED DEPARTMENT. THE LAST CALL for nominations in the $7000 Pacific Breeders' Futurity for foals of mares bred in 1905. The stake closes for nominations of mares next Monday, December 4th. Do you want to race your colt when he is two or three years old? If so, just remember that a colt that is not entered in stakes, no matter how fast he may be, cannot earn enough to pay his car fare from one track to another, while the one that is staked and can win, generally puts enough money in the bank to keep himself and his owner comfortably for several years. If your mare looks as if you were going to get something in the spring for the money you paid out this year for ser- vice fee, better send her name and breeding and $2 (don't forget the $2) to Secretary F. W. Kelley at 36 Geary street. San Francisco, on or before Monday next. After that time it will be too late. TWO BIG STAKES offered by the Westchester Racing Association, to close and name at midnight of Friday, December 15th, are advertised in our col- umns this week The National Stallion Race has $5000 added, and is for then two-year-olds to run during the spring meeting of 1907. The Matron, with $10,000, is for foals of 1906 to run at the autumn meeting of 190S. The full conditions governing these tow rich events will be found in the advertisement. THE DURFEE SALE at LOs Angeles came off dur- ing the meeting there last week as advertised, but the full report of the same has not reached us. Jupiter B. 2:12 and Cuate 2:13>i were sold together and brought $2500. Bellemont 2:17>4, by Zombro, brought $2500. The pacing mare Virginia fetched $750. The sale was a big success. A full summary will be print- ed next week. CATALOGUES ARE OUT for the dispersal sale of the horses owned by Mr. Geo. A. Davis of Pleasanton, one of the most successful breeders in California There are many splendid young trotters and pacers. royally bred brood mares and several thoroughbreds. The sale will take place Tuesday evening, December 12th, at Fred H. Chase & Co.'s salesyard. 1732 Market street.

Money lost in a gambling house in some Slates maj be recovered if the loser or his wife sues the owner of the building for it. This was established in i decision rendered by Justice Peckham of inn I'nilnd States Supreme Court recently in o tesl case referring to the constitutionality of the State law ot Ohio against gambling. The judge decided not only that the law is Constitutional, but that the owner of the ho ise where gambling is carried on. with his knowledge, is responsible for losses sustain.. I in tin games This decision reaches every State in the Union which 1ms a gambling law. The Ohio case, which has brought home this responsibility to the owners of buildings rented by gamblers, was carrl to the Supremi Court of tin- United States by Willi. no Marvin, the owner of a building in Findlay, O., n which Frank T-I. Trni.ii had losl large sons of money. Trout's wife brought suit and seeurt I judgment and Marvin's appeal from the judgment finally reached the United States Supreme Court. Lawyers expressed thi opinion that thi- decision will go far toward re straining gambling in ibis countrj an i thai owners •»! buildings will think inn. he er before the] lease them for gambling purpa The New California Jockey Club officers ought to take up the matter of how horses should be started at a very early date. I say this for the reason that too many heavily-backed animals are being left un- der the present plan, and it entails dissatisfaction that could be avoided if the club adopted some other plan than the one now in vogue. To give an idea of the heartaches felt during th:s meeting by backers of horses that had no chance after the barrier was raise!, to say nothing of the imprecations hurled at the starter over these affairs, I will give a list of horses, from November 11th on. that were either left outright or nearly so. all heavily backed: Bearcatcher on the first day. Aronalis and Bearcatcher on Novem- ber 16. Silver Sue and Possart on November 17, Rey Dare on November IS, Royal Rogue on November 20. Confederate and Corn Blossom on November 22, Rightful and. Reservation on November 24. Silver Sue and Comiflo ,on November 25. and Haviland on No- vember 27. Here were fourteen well-played horses that did not receive a fair start in as many days of racing, or an average of, I will say, $4000 per after- noon "burnt up" by the barrier wielder under the pres- ent plan of starting horses. The time is certainly- ripe to take up the matter, and I would suggest that the Mars Cassidy plan of walking the gallopers up slowly like a lot of cavalry horses be tested. The standing start has been tried and found wanting and as the jockey club's aim doubtless is at all times to give its patrons; a fair run for its money, change the present obnoxious system, do away with the bull whips and the "hold-on" boys and make the starting even more spectacular than at present. If horses were trained to face the barrier as in Australia it would be another proposition, but they are not, and riders turn and twist and try to get the better of the starter in so many ways that that official would doubtless be as pleased to change the method as would the public In England agitation is going on over the present plan of starting horses, and The Jockey Club was expected to discuss new plans at its November meeting, but it didn't. The forty heaviest money winners in the East this year were as follows, those marked with a star being bred in California: Sysonby, $144,380: Cairngorm* $42,245: Burgomaster, $39,500: Ormondale,* $35,660: Mowhawk II. $33,540: Beldame, $26,850: Perverse, $23,990: Artful, $23,320; Tiptoe, $22,484: Oiseau. $21,705: Running Water, $17,290: Agile, $17,150; Delhi, $16,125;- First Water,* $115,760: George C.

SUCCESSFUL SALE OF THOROUGHBREDS. Strike — if they don't give you Jackson's Napa Soda when you ask for it. There was a large crowd at the salesyard of Fred H. Chase & Co.. 1732 Market street, last Tuesday evening, when the yearlings from W. O. B. Macdon- ough's Ormondale Farm, and the horses belonging to the late Don Cameron were sold The star of the sale was the good two year old Sir Wilfred, that went to the bid of C. E. Durnell, who was probably acting for John W. Gates, for $6000. The highest price for any of the Macdonough yearlings was the chestnut colt St. Carlo, out of Lovelight. that was sold to W. H.

Thursday furnished the most attractive bill of the ■ i should have drawn a big crowd, for the bleak north wind of the first two days had to the southward, but just hefore eavy black clouds began to heave in sight and i many stayed away through fear of a rain The track was in perfect condition and the predic- would he paced in 2:05 or better in the race between Zolock and Hazel Patch did not seem like such a wild one. The first race of the day he unfinished pacing race for the 2: 20 class, which had been resumed from Wednesday when four ced, Welcome Mac taking the first dead heat between him and Birdal in the - the thir heat going to the San Di- ego horse. Victor Platte, being the fastest in the race except the second. J. A. C. and Connors being dis- ii' ed the field down to six and Welcome E quoted at 20 to 12, 15 to 10 and 10 to 7 for the field. Fred Ward drove him in a masterly 1 tvon by nearly three lengths, which gave him the first money. Victor Platt.e the second, Birdal third and Fearnot fourth. The next race was the first regular race of the day, for which Morone, from the Clark stable, was a well pronounced choice, at $20 against $15 for the field, consisting of Durfee's Cuate, Bonneil's Ambush and West's Commonwealth. A most critical judge would hare predicted that the Montana horse would have taken the first money in straight heats, from the seemingly easy way that he landed the first and second, which he probably did upon sufferance, as they were the slowest of the five, Cuate being the contender in each. In the third heat Morone got off in front again and led to the quarter and then to the half, with Ambush in close attendance. But Cuate was well within striking distance and had passed Ambush just after passing the three-quarters. From there to the wire it was a desperate battle and young Durfee drove like a demon to win the heat. About fifty yards above the wire he had gotten on even terms with Morone, who went into the air twice but was promptly rallied by Old Man Garrity. He crossed the line ahead of Cuate by the shortest of heads, but as the latter had never left his feet the judges gave him the heat and placed the Montana horse second. There was some little grumbling over this decision but I don't see how they could have decided otherwise, although it is doubtful if Morone gained by either of his breaks. Yet where one horse breaks and the other trots (or paces) steadily all the way, t he breaker cannot consistently be given the heat. I like young Mr. Clark as well as any man I know and I believe Garrity as straight a man as there is in tbe business, but I should have given the heat to Cuate had I been a judge of the race. The next two heats showed Billy Durfee's gelding to be the steadier horse of the two for he won both the last two heats in faster time than the two first, which he lost. In fact, the fifth heat was the fastest in the entire race and I made it 2:13 flat. The 2:12 pace was the next event, with twelve nags on the card, of which four — El Diablo, Richard B., Prince Charles and Delilah — were scratched, Oma A., owned by Stephen S Bailey of Seattle, was made a favorite at 10 to 4 for the field, despite the asserva- i ons <>f her owner that it was a false price and he did not believe she could get better than third money, lint the public thought the old steamboatman was rig" then and poured in their money on her as - i the race was over. Even after three heats had been paced, Glenn taking two and Vinnie Mann (an added starter) the other, she brought $10 and iii field $5; and things went on in this way until i in track was cleared for the event of the day, the great special between Zolock and Hazel Patch. As Hazel Patch had previously beaten the pride of San Bi loo, he was made a favorite naturally enough at I ", i .. 10.

He got him off evenly with Zolock who led to the quarter in 0:31 '4, and, when he got straightened in the back stretch, carried "Zolock along at such a furious clip that the handsome brown broke and fell back at the half-mile in 1:01. From that point onward it was all Hazel Patch, he being first to the three-quarters in 1:33% and winning the heat in 2:07% by six good lengths. The third heat saw an end to all betting on this event. George Common begged for $2.50 on Zolock against $10 for Hazel Patch, but there was no response that had a metallic ring. It was evident that nothing could save the race to Zolock but for the Eastern horse to fall dead in his tracks. The third heat was a splendid start, Zolock being about two feet in advance of the pole horse which, counting the long distance he would have to travel, made the start a good one. Hazel Patch took the lead with all possible ease and Zolock trailed along behind him, although Delaney kept him nicely on his feet and never once drove him to a break They took the quarter in 0:31, the half in 1:01%, the three-quarters in 1.34 and the mile in 2:08%, the Eastern horse coming in on what was but little better than a whole- some jog. The race then w^ent over till Friday. The 2:12 pace had twelve nominations but only seven took part in the race, the absentees being El Diablo, Richard B., Prince Charles and Delilah. By . some unaccountable blunder, Charley Smith had omitted from the program the name of the Oregon mare, Vinnie Mann, who won two heats in the race and got second money. The pooling showed Mr. Bailey's Oma A. a favorite over the field at even money before the race, at 10 to 7 after the first heat, 10 to 6 after the second heat and 10 to 4 after the third heat. Jim Thompson was behind Kirkpa trick's Albuta and made a very strong bid for the first heat, being sec- ond to Glenn in the fast time of 1:39 to the three- quarters and holding all others safe to the end of the heat in 2:12%. Still, the public were hot for Oma A. and would have nothing else. Vinnie Mann now came to life, as also did Lady R, who had finished eighth in the first heat, and while Glenn held the lead for the first half-mile, these two mares trailed him to the stretch, where they came on and finished first and second, Glenn being third, in the fastest heat of the race. Glenn got off well in the third heat and made every post a winning one, in 2:12%, with Vinnie Mann second, Lady R. third, Oma A. fourth and Albuta distance. The next was a savage battle between Glenn and Lady R. to the three-quarters, where young Lindsay came up at a marvellous pace, gaining on the two leaders at every stride, and finally won the heat with Vinnie Mann in 2:12%, with Glenn second, Lady R. third and the fourth horse, Oma A., beaten less than two open lengths. This race then went over to the next day: Summaries: Pacing 2:20 class; purse $1000.

Friday was a bright and pleasant day with warm sun and balmy air, but the crowd was not commen- surate with either the sport or the weather. Twelve years ago such cards as these have been would have drawn from six to ten thousand paid admissions, on any day of the five, but there have been, in the mean- time, so many races jobbed and people robbed that people grew leary of it and kept away from the tracks. The present association, composed of gen- tlemen of great liberality and unquestioned integrity, is suffering for the misdeeds of others in the days that have flown.

The next thing was the first regular race of the day, a $1000 purse for the 2:24 class for which there were nine on the card, but Levietta and Glenetta were erased from the list of starters. F. Connell's b. g. Homeway was the first choice at $10, Lady Jones $7 and the field $5. The surprise of the occa- sion was a bay gelding called Billy Dooley, owned i,\ the Sacramento brewer Ruhstaller, who went out at a [virions clip os though he intended to shut out everything In the field. He won the heat by nearly sixty yards in 2:16% with Homeway, the future win- ner, In second place, Ida Millerton third, Zombretta fourth, Bonlta fifth, Lady Jones sixth and Kirkpat- rlck's Judge last. "Never mind, my son, I've seen sicker children than this cured," said Dan Misner, as old Homeway was led off to the stable He spoke truly, for he went out and won the next three heats ;143 2 11 6 7 2 5 2 3 3 4 5 4 5 7 41 with something to spare, the second being in the fastest in the entire race.

Then came the 2:27 pace for which nine were carded but two— Birdal and Sweetheart— were scratched. Fred Fanning's horse, Victor Platte, was made a hot favorite and took the first two heats in 2:13 and 2:13%, but seemed to tire very badly after that and Stewart's Fearnot took the third in 2:1'| fiat. On the following day this race was resumed with the following result: Victor Platte, b.g. by Platte (Fanning) 116 1 Jennie A., blk.m., by Neernut. ...

The 2:09 trot saw three horses carded but Jupite B's owner evidently concluded he could not beat horse that had trotted in 2:09 over east against th very pick of the country. Billy Durfee is as good hand at placing horses as he is in driving, so he said, "Excuse me." The race then became a virtual walk over for John Caldwall but the Walla Walla mare, Helen Norte, made it tropical for the great son of Strathway in the first half-mile of each of the two first heats, for she stuck to him like "Aunt Jemima's plaster" that Billy Birch used to tell about a half century ago. After leaving the three-quarters, Cald- well could leave her at almost any time, and in the last heat Mr. Thompson (with a p. if you please) had to pull John Caldwell almost into a walk to avoid distancing her.

He is now engaged in buying and selling good prospecu-. He will purchase a likely horse at a fair price and after putting him in shape, sell at a small profit. By keeping his money turning over this way he fig- ures on making a fair profit on his investments and allowing the buyer margin for further profit.

Henry of Haywards has quite a string of trotters and pacers at the Pleasanton track Among those he has just commenced work on are three full brothers by Gossiper 2:14%, dam a mare by Algona. There are two geldings five and four years old, and a three-year-old stud colt. The geldings are both trotters and Mr. Henry has been handling them but six weeks at the Pleasanton track.

Mr. Henry worked him an easy mile in 2:35% last week, the last half in 1:13% and the last quarter in 34 seconds. The four-year-old is trotting quarters in 40 seconds al- ready, and the three-year-old. which is a good gaited pacer, reeled off a quarter in 35 seconds the other day.

How about your mare bred this year. Have yo nominated her in the 57000 Breeders' Futurity? not, why not? Nominations close next Monday. Jacob Brolliar writes from Tulare that the ve: fast green mare Princess Chehalis by Chehalis is ilffl his charge at the track there She is owned by Mr* J. A. McNeill. Mr. Brolliar states that his own mare My Way 2:22 slipped twin foals by Hambletonian Wilkes last week, and on the first of February ha will commence conditioning her to race through the California circuit of 1906. She is a daughter of Stone- w-ay and is now four years old. Another very fast Stoneway that he will race against aged horses next year is the green three-year-old pacing filly Sweet- way. He begun on her in September this year, up to which time she had never been driven as fast as a three-minute gait, and three weeks ago she paced an easy mile in 2:18% and a few days after, just to see something of her speed abilities, he drove her an eighth in 14% seconds hitched to a cart. Sweetway is owned by Mr. Kirkham, who bred and sold the fast two-year-old Rockaway 2:15%. Thornway 2:12% by Steinway, has been through several sales. He brought 5600 at New York last week. The black four-year-old mare Flyaway by McKin- ney out of Flewey Flewey by Memo, sold for 5350 at the New York sale. On and after January 1, 1906, the soundness of public service stallions in Wisconsin will have to be certified to by affidavit of owner, or certificate of a graduated veterinarian. Blemishes and deformities due to accident will not disqualify. EUREKA RACES. Ill 3 3 1 1 3 3 Following are the official summaries of the harness races held at the fair and race meeting of the Eureka.

The bidding in general was not as lively as had been expected, but fair average prices were realized on the stock offered. The highest price for the day was paid for the fa- mous broodmare Gazelle 2:11%, dam of Zolock 2:05% (1905), and Zephyr 2:07%, also made last season. She is now over 14 years old, but her record as a race- mare and producer of extreme speed made her one of the most valuable brood mares of the entire sale. Mr. William Simpson, proprietor of the Empire City Stud, purchased her for $4000. The bidding on Zephyr 2:07%, one of Ed Geers' best breadwinners last season, was quite spirited at the start, the first bid being made by Al Thomas at $1000. After carefully looking the mare over Mr. Nathan Straus bid $50 at a time until the price reached to $1550, his last bid, which was raised to $1600 and the horse was knocked down to C. T. Barrett of Akron, O. Beauseant 2:06%, also from the Terrace Farm con- signment, sold for $1950, while Zelma, a daughter of Zephyr, brought $1000. The total of fifty-nine horses in this consignment sold for $23,285, or an average of nearly $400 per head. The list of horses announced for sale on the second .y was attractive enough to draw big crowds to the rden. There was no disposition on the part of lorsemen to hold off for future chances, and so fair Colonel Delmar 2.14% by Del Mar, took the place of the star of the sale by bringing the highest figure of the day, $4600, paid by Charles Duvall of Raritan, N. J. The next best price was $3000, paid by Thomas "W. Murphy of Glen Cove, L. I., for the seven-year-old pacer Reliance. A change in the plans of Mr. Butler, proprietor of East View Farm, caused the withdrawal of the greater part of his consignment. The sale of Cresceus 2:02% brought to the Garden "Wednesday afternoon the largest crowd seen at any day of the sale. . The champion was brought to the ring in fine condition and received hearty applause. The expected lively bidding which has characterized every sale of prominent stallions did not take place, is Cresceus was knocked down to his new owner* at .he second bid. After the usual talk Auctioneer Bain asked for a bid, but nearly two minutes elapsed and no one an- swered. More coaxing brought out a low-voiced bid of $20,000, which caused some comment, as the crowd thought some one was joking. When asked to come forward, a tall gentleman raised his hand and was at once recognized as P. H. McGuire, of New York, who had previously purchased Direct "View. AH was silent again, and no bidding, and when the auctioneer threatened to sell the horse on one bid, calling for the thir£ and last time, some one said $21,000. The bidder was M. W. Savage, of Minneapolis, owner of Dan Patch, to whom Cresceus was knocked down at that figure. The great majority of the spectators thought that the horse sold far below his real worth but knowing ones hardly ever guessed that the horse would bring that price. The world's champion trotting and pacing stallions are now stable mates, an instance unparalleled in the history of the harness turf. The greatest feature of the sale was that of Baron- mores* youngsters, which brought very satisfactory prices and were disposed of at lively bidding. Baron- gale, at $2,900, was considered by horsemen and breed- ers as one of the best bargains of the sale. Unless all signs fail, this five-year-old son of Baronraore, 2:14%, is destined to make a name for himself as the | progenitor of early speed. Every one of the youngsters of this consignment which had Futurity engagements sold at good figures, once more proving the oft-re- peated assertion that horses of equal breeding and individual merit bring more satisfactory prices in pub- lic sales if they are entered in colt stakes. The sales for the first three days that brought T300 or over were as follows: King Burdo, trotter, 2:26, br. h., 8 years, by Stern- berg-Chirper by "Wilkes Boy; C. J. Averill, Syra- cuse, N.

Chester Barlow, in writ" ing of the habits of the mountain quail, says that a Fyfte, Cal., it begins to nest the last of May or earl; in June. All nests that he found were built in ; growth of "mountain misery" (Chamoebatia sp.)" to 10 inches high. (Condor, 3, p. 158, 1901.) Ol Mount Tallac and the higher slopes of Pyramid Peabi W. W. Price- found newly hatched young as late .a- August 15 He noted that by September 1 the quai became restless and soon began their peculiar migra- tion from the east slope to the west slope of tin Sierras. From four to six adults with their young form a small band of from ten to thirty individuals! and pursue their way almost wholly on foot to e more congenial winter climate; and by October 1 all had abandoned elevations above 5,000 feet. In spring they migrate back singly or in pairs. (Condor, 3 pp. 158, 160, 1901.) There are many admirers of this bird because ol its exquisite plumage, but most sportsmen prefer a game bird that lies better to the dog. Its flesh is excellent, and the bird sells well in the market. H. "W. Henshaw reports that in the late fall of 18S0 h€ found the markets of Portland, Oregon, well sup- plied • with live mountain quails which had been trapped in the neighboring mountains, cooped, sent to the city for sale. Nowhere is it so numero as the California quail, or the bobwhite in the Soui ern States, and it is more of a forest-loving specii than any other American quail. The mountain qui sometimes enters cleared fields, but so far as records of the Biological Survey show it does no preciable damage to cultivated fruits or other cro; and it is a useful destroyer of weed seeds Food Habits. No stomachs of the mountain quail of the humid regions were available for examination, but Sandy writes that the bird feeds on insects and various seeds, including grains (Upland Game Birds, p. 93, 1902), and Elliot says it sometimes approaches farm buildings in search of scattered kernels of grain. (Gallinaceous Game Birds N. A., p. 42, 1897.) The food of the mountain quail of the arid regions has been studied in the laboratory of the Biological Survey. The stomachs examined, twenty-three in number, were collected in California Five were col- lected in January, two in May, six in June, three in August, and six in November. The food consisted of animal matter( 3 per cent, and vegetable matter, 9,7 per cent. The animal food was made up of grass- hoppers, 0.05 per cent; beetles, 0.23 per cent; miscel- laneous insects, inclduing ants and lepidopterous pupae, 1.90 per cent; and centipedes and harvest spiders (Phalangirae). 0 82 per cent. Among the beetles was a species of the firefly family (Lampy- ridae), a ground beetle (Carabidae), and a leaf beetle (Haltica sp.). Vernon Bailey informs the writer that the young eat many ants. The vegetable food con- sisted of grain, IS 20 per cent; seeds, practically all of weeds or other worthless plants, 46.61 per cent; fruit, 8.11 per cent; and miscellaneous vegetable mat- ter, 24.08 per cent.- The grain included wheat, corn, barley, and oats. Of the seed element the seeds of grasses formed 7.78 per cent; of legumes, 10.41 per cent; of weeds of the family Euphorbiaceoe, 3.16 per cent; of alfilaria (Erodium cicutarium), 2.76 per cent; and of miscellaneous weeds, 22.50 per cent. The legume seeds include seeds of alfalfa, cassia, bush clovr, vetch, and lupine. The miscellaneous seeds come from wild carrot (Daucus carota), tar weed (Madia sativa), Collomia sp., Amsinckia sp., labiate plants, dwarf oak, snowbush (Ceanothus cordulatus), and thistle. Concerning the feeding habits of mountain quail if the dry country (O. p. plumiferous), J. E. McClellan says: "Their feeding hours are early in the morning' and just before sundown in the evening, when the3' go to roost in the thick tops of the scrub live oaks. Their feeding habits are similar to those of the do- mestic hen They are vigorous scratchers, and will jump a foot or more from the ground to nip off leaves. (MS. Records, Biological Survey.) This bird is especially fond of the leaves of clover and other leguminous plants. It feeds also on flowers, being known to select those of Compositae and blue-eyed grass (sisyrinchium). Flowers, leaves, buds, and other kinds of vegetable matter form the 24.08 per cent marked miscellaneous. The birds probably eat more fruit than these stomach examinations indi cate. Lyman Belding says that this quail feeds oi service berries, and that during certain seasons lives almost entirely on grass bulbs (Melica bulbosa) which it gets by scratching, for which its large, pow- erful feet are well adapted. The fruit in its bill of fare includes gooseberries, service berries (Amelan- chier alnifolia), and grapes (Vitis californica). The bird is probably fond also of manzanita berries, for it is often seen among these shrubs. Scaled Quail. The "cotton top," or scaled quail (Callipepla squa- mata), as it is commonly known, is bluish gray on the back, with black- edged feathers on the under parts, which appear like large scales. The name ol the species is used here to include both the typical scaled quail (Callipepla squamata) and the more re- stricted chestnut-bellied quail of southern Texas (C. s. castanogastris). Its conspicuous white-tipped crest has given it tbe local name of cotton top. It is found in southern Colorado and in the Upper and Lower Sonoran zones from Arizona to western and southern Texas and south to the Valley of Mexico. The birds of the lower Rio Grande region are darker than those farther west. According to Bendire, this quail Jives on open arid plains overgrown with yucca, cactus, and sagebrush, and often gathers in coveys number- ing twenty-five to eighty. It lays about a dozen eggs, I.

Birds [I]. PP. 18-20, 1892.) Food Habits. The food habits of this game bird are of especial interest. Stomachs and crops of forty-seven speci- mens have been examined, most of which came from New Mexico, .the . others from Arizona and Texas. They were collected as follows. January, seven; May, one; June, two; July, three; September, thirteen; October, nineteen, and November, two. As with all other gallinaceous birds, more or less mineral matter is swallowed, usually small pieces of quartz. The food consisted of animal matter, 29.6 per cent, and vegetable matter, 70.4 per cent The food of the cotton top differs from that of all other American quails in that it contains a large proportion of insects. These comprise no less than 29.03 per cent of its food, a percentage almost twice as great as that of the bobwhite, although if more stomachs of the present species had been available for examination the ratio might have been different. However, the important fact is established that this bird is a large consumer of insects, instead of being, like most other western quail, practically graminivor- ous. Of the insect food, grasshoppers comprise 15.80 per cent; beetles, 10.43 per cent, and miscellaneous -insects, largely ants, 3.27 per cent. A few spiders also are taken, but they constitute only 0.03 per cent of the food for the year. The beetles are in the larval as well as the adult forms The family of ground beetles (Carabidae), a favorite one with terrestrial birds, is well represented. A single beetle with a featherlike antenna, of the family Pyrochroidae, had been eaten. Some longicorn beetles and plant-eating scarabaeid beetles also were eaten. A bird collected in June had consumed forty-four of the latter beetles, which were leaf chafers, apparently closely related to the genus Serica. The scaled quail destroys also weevils, such as the clover weevil, Sitones, and cer- tain species of the family Otiorhynchirae, or scarred snout beetles. It takes also leaf beetles, the very injurious twelve-spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica 12-punctata). Furthr studies of the beetle food undoubtedly will disclose a large number of pests. The bird will probably be found to be a useful con- sumer also of grasshoppers, since a third of its Sep- ' tember food consisted of them. Their remains were so fragmentary, however, that identification of species | was unsatisfactory. In one case a member of the ) genus Trimerotropis was recognized. Ants had been eaten by fifteen of the forty-seven birds examined. The other miscellaneous insects included small bugs . (Heteroptera) and the chrysalis of a fly. One of the queerest objects found by the wrriter in birds' stom- ' achs is the "gound pearl" (Margaordes), several hun- f dred of which were contained in the stomach of a ' cotton top shot at Roswell, New Mexico, June 17, 1 1899. They are lustrous and look like pearls, but are merely scale insects that feed on the roots of plants. Vegetable matter furnished 70 per cent of the food 'of the scaled quail. Grain contributed 0.57 per cent; seeds, mostly weed seeds, 52.85 per cent; fruit, 12.65 i per cent, and leaves and other green tissue, 4.33 per cent. The species resembles the ruffed grouse in its ■ habit of feeding on green leaves and tender shoots. lit feeds upon budded twigs, but more often limits ' its choice to chlorophyll-bearing tissue, often picking f green seed pods of various plants. Like domestic i fowls, it eats grass blades. Fruit was eaten by only six of the forty-seven birds, and none was taken from cultivated varities As might be expected from in- habitants of arid plains, these birds like the fruit of cacti, and have been found feeding on the prickly pear (Opuntia lindheimeri). The fruit of Ibervillea linheimeri also is eaten. The blue berries of Adelia angustifolia, which furnish many desert birds and mammals with food, are often eaten by the scaled quail. Different kinds of Rubus fruits are relished, and the berries of Koeberlinia spinosa and Momisia pallida also are eaten. The fruit and succulent parts of plants no doubt serve in part in the parched desert ,as a substitute for water. Seeds of various plants form a little more than half of the food. Legumes furnish 21.84 per cent, the mesquite (Prosopis julinora), a staple with both man and beast, being utilized, as are the seeds of mimosa (M. biuncifera), besides various cassias and lupines. Seeds of vetch (Vicia sp.) are a favorite food, and Morongia roemeriana is eaten. The bird likes seeds of Medicago, and at times will eat clover seeds. Mis- cellaneous wreed seeds yield 31.01 per cent of the mnual food. Narly half of these are seeds of bind- weed (Convolvulus sp.), an abundant and troublesome weed in the South, where it often throttles other plants. The following miscellaneous seeds were found imong their food: Thistle (Carduus sp.), wild sun- lower (Helianthus annuus), Coreopsis (Coreopsis cor- >naria), aster (Aster sp.), chamomile (Anthemis sp.), aigweed (Amaranthus sp.), gromwell (Lithospermum >p.), borage (Amsinckia sp.), mallow (Malva rotun- lifolia), turkey mullein (Croton setigerus), croton ;Croton texensis), alfilaria (Erodium cicutarium), (purge (Euphorbia sp.). Grass seeds have not yet been found in quantity 'in the crop of the species, but panicum seeds have ,)een recognized. In summing up the economic status of the scaled luail it should be noted that although the bird is a lesert species, it comes into more or less direct rela- ion with agriculture, sometimes feeding upon culti- ated land and about farm buildings. Moreover, half ] f its food consists of the seeds of weeds. Lastly, it '? highly insectivorous, fully one-fourth of its food J onsisting of insects. (To be continued.) OUT-CROSSING AND ITS METHODS. By J. Sidney Turner, in Illustrated Kennel News. Jackson's Napa Soda cleanses the stomach and nders the eye clear. (Continued from November 25 issue.) It is clearly established that the external appear- ance of an animal — his bodily, or "somatic," charac- ters— are a less certain guide than a knowledge of his "gametic" factors, or. germ cells, in ascertaining his breeding possibilities. In an absolutely pure race only one kind .of "gametic" is given off, but in a mongrel race two kinds are given oft in about equal numbers, each carrying one of the factors contained in the cross. No. single gamete carries both. In the cross-breeding of the rabbits, mentioned above, only one set of characters — viz., color of eyes and coat and short or long coat, was taken into account We know by experience, as in the above ease, that two or more characters are sometimes correlated, such as pink eyes and white coat and skin as in true( albinos), but not always so, as man) white animals have dark eyes. Other characters are not necessarily associated, such as size, formation, speed, carriage of ear, courage or constitution. If two characters are associated, and not necessarily correlated (as in the case of pink eyes and move- ment of head, due to the action of light), in a breed to which the out- cross is made, we may desire to get one of the characters without the other. I will give you an instance presently; but first I will de- scribe a simple method to demonstrate the doctrine of chance, which seems to serve the purpose very well and to bear out the Mendelian theory. It has the advantages of economy of time and expense over breeding experiments, and serves to bring home to our minds the operations of Mendel's law. I take two packs of cards with different colors of backs— say, brown and white — to represent color of coat. These two packs represent mongrels of the first cross, fifty-two individuals, but 104 gametes. We take the brown to be the dominant and the white the recessive gametes. To breed these mongrels inter se I first place the cards in alternate order of brown and white, then shuffle the packs as much as possible. They thus will represent the gametes which would come together if mongrels were bred inter se. If the cards be now dealt out by two and two (and this experiment be made many times) it will be found that the average number of times that brown and white will come together will be one-half, or 50 per cent; the two browns one-quarter, or 25 per cent, and the two whites one-quarter, or 25 per cent— i. e., there will be twenty-six pairs of brown and white, thirteen pairs of brown, and thirteen pairs of white All the mongrels, fifty-two, were brown in coat, as brown was the dominant, so that 75 per cent are still brown and 25 per cent all white. This is exactly what oc- curred when brown Belgian rabbits and white an- goras were bred together; and their mongrel progeny were, in the second generation, bred inter se. This is the Mendelian expectancy in regard to the reap- pearance of the recssive character. These white will only produce whites, if bred inter se or if recrossed with the original white factor. There would be little object— from a breeders' point of view— in doing this, and any out-cross should be made with some fixed object, such as the improve- ment of the constitution, courage, speed, size, etc., in the breed from which the outcross is made. To take a case in point. Suppose we want to improve 'the constitution of our Bloodhounds. We determine to do so with Foxhounds. We will assume (but this can only be actually determined by the experiment of breed) that the coat of the Foxhound is domi- nant, and we select in this instance white cards to represent the dominant as regards color. We will take strong constitution to be represented by black- faced, and its deficiency by red-faced cards. Brown cards will represent the Bloodhound. We therefore have white and brown cards to represent the colors of coat in the Foxholnd and Bloodhound, respective- ly; the black faced and red-faced cards, the strong and deficient constitutions, on account of which lat- ter the out-cross is to made. The crossing of the brown and white cards will produce white (dominant color) mongrels, with white brown gametes (brown, recessive color). An equal division of strong and weak constitutions may be expected to be inherited by the mongrel offspring, so that we take equal num- bers of the brown and white cards, black and red faces being in equal proportions in both colored backs. The cards must not he shuffled, as in this case they are not to breed inter se, but to recross the mongrels to the breed (Bloodhound) from which the out-cross was first made. Therefore we take two brown and two white cards (color gametes) with black and red faces equally divided between them — viz., white-red, white-black, brown-red and brown-black. These cards will then each be paired with a brown-red card (the original Bloodhound, whose color of coat we wish to retain, but whose constitution is to be strengthened by the out-cross). The result must be that 50 per cent of the progeny will retain the mongrel color of coat, and 50 per cent will recover the brown color; but only 25 per cent will have a black-faced card (the strong constitution) in the pair. Therefore in the second generation we have 50 per cent pure colored Bloodhounds, but only 25 per cent with the stronger constitution of the Foxhound infused into it, for which reason the out-cross was made. As the im- proved constitution will not be so directly visible as color, the judgment of the breeder will come in. This, however, will be the blend with which to continue the breeding of stronger constitutioned hounds, es- pecially if mated with others bred on similar lines. If this be not done there will be danger of deteriora- tion with each succeeding generation — i e., if mating be with Bloodhounds whose constitution has rei elvea no fresh "blood" (really "gametes"). All this seems very complicated, but it is not ■ 'II so. as the equations will clearly show: B., biown backed .aid i Bloodhound); color recessive. \\\. Mack faced card (Foxhound); color dominant, b.. black faced card equals strong constitution. r.. red faced card equals deficient constitution. 1 W.r. x B.r. equals W.B.r.r. (still mongrel). 2. W.b. x B.r. equals WB.b.r. (still mongrel). 3. Br. x B.r. equals B.B.r.r. (Bloodhound constitu- tion unchanged). 4. B.b. x B.r. equals B.B b.r. (Bloodhound constitu- tion improved). Nos. 1 and 2 retain the mongrel gametes. No. 3 is as regards . breeding, pure Bloodhound, but with- out improved constitution. No 4 is the same as No. 3, but with improved constitution. If we desired to obtain two of the characters of Foxhounds, e. g., constitution and dash, or constitu- tion and round feet, we should probably only suc- ceed in getting both characters in the second gen- eration in ratio of 12% per cent of the progeny. Sup- pose we take constitution and round feet. Color of coat and constitution shall be represented in the cards as before, and round feet of the Foxhound shall be represented by the court (or picture) cards We will suppose round feet (as we do constitution) to be distributed in the mongrels in equal ratio to bad feet. Take four white backed and four brown backed cards to represent color; of these let four (one red and one black) be court cards to represent round feet. Thus half of the number of mongrels have round feet and half have good- constitutions. There are now eight cards (eight gametes). If eight brown backed and red faced cards (not court cards) Blood- hound gametes, be paired with the eight mongrel gametes the result will be that 50 per cent will re- main mongrels or resembling the Foxhound; 50 pet- cent will resemble the Bloodhound, out of which only half (25 per cent of whole progeny) will have the improved constitution, one-quarter (12% per cent of whole) will have round feet without any improved constitution, and one-quarter (12% per cent of whole) will have both round feet and improved constitution Let f. represent round feet. W.b.f. will be the origi- nal Foxhound factor and B.r. the original Bloodhound factor. The progeny of this first cross bred back again to the Bloodhound will be: 1. W.b.f. x B.r. equals W.B.b.f.r. 2. W.f.r. x B.r. equals W.B.f.r.r. 3. W.b. x B.r. equals W.B. b.r. 4. W.r. x B.r. equals W.B.r.r. 5. B.r. x B.r. equals B.B.r.r. (Bloodhound un- changed). 6. B.b. x B.r. equals B.B. b.r. (Bloodhound with constitution). 7 B.f.r. x B.r. equals B.B.f.r.r. (Bloodhound with round feet). 8. B.b.f. x B.r. equals B.B. b.f.r. (Bloodhound with round feet and constitution) TWO— Breeder Any other point of character may, of course "be substituted for constitution-e. g., head and muzzle (as was done by Dr. Inman in his cross of St Ber- nards to Mastiffs), or shortness of muzzle, as in out- cross of Toy Spaniels with Japanese. Such charac- ters would be more immediately apparent than con- stitution, and the effects of an out-cross more readily ascertained. I have proposed to take constitution and feet as being the most legitimate objects for an out- cross. The other instances just mentioned are for arbitrary and fanciful reasons, and are undertaken to gratify a passing craze for some point, but thev are very doubtful improvements to the breeds in which they were made. DOINGS IN DOGDOM. Pasadena Dog Show. Arrangements for Pasadena's dog show are pro- gressing most satisfactorily and prospects are good for a neat little exhibition of the bluest-blooded canines in Southern California, December 13 and 14 The best local judges of the various breeds avail- able have been engaged, and a fairer lot of men would be hard to pick in any part of the country That capable breeder and handler of Pointers, William J Morris of Los Angeles, will pass out decisions in the classes with which he is most familiar, not an un- mixed benefit, as his officiating will preclude his entering as a matter of course. C. A. Sumner will judge Fox Terriers; T. H. Broadhead, Spaniels and loys, and James Ewins all other breeds not taken by the gentlemen named. Morris will give the awards in all the large classes. R. C. Halsted of Pasadena is the secretary and will furnish all other desired information. Entries close December 2nd. A Promising Pointer. In mentioning a California dog at present on the Eastern circuit the American Field says: Nearly all of the handlers remember old Champion Senator P. perfectly. Seeing his son, Senator's Don, run elicited many comparisons between sire and son. The consensus of opinion was that the son has more class than his sire, and that some day the rangy while and orange youngster will be the greatest dog Mr. Fynn has ever owned. Senator's Don has not much of the old Senator's wisdom on game as yet, but he is a free. fast, easy mover, with a much more cheerful disposition than had old Champion Senator P. Handler Wilson has the young dog coming right and his future develop- ment looks both certain and easy. The Tail of Eastover Lancelot. Another hearing in the now famous Boston terrier controversy came up in New York last week. The protest against the Boston terrier, Eastover Lance- lot, was heard by the Bench Show Committee of the Westminster Kennel Club. The meeting was held al 10 ©it£ QV88&VV cm© ^povtQxxxau [December 2. 1905 ffice of H. K. Knapp and was attended by Wil- Rflucb, Harry T. Peters, Winihrop RiUherfurd, and Richard H. Williams, when additional evidence . i m what is the most celebrated case e owners. Dr. F- H. Osgood, m Terrier Club; Johr Sullivan nk Miller, veter- stminster Kennel Club, were the only camlned. After the meeting the commit- ed that further testimony in the case be necessary before a decision would be ren- crhlch hinges on whether the crinkly little [] of the protested dog was na-tural or faked. Sup eme Court of dog- Kennel Club Bench Show Corn- its beginning at the show for Boston (04. Eastover Lancelot is the of the Spotswood Kennels of Broad Axe, ounty, Penn., which are owned by Ed- H. Hance, Philadelphia. When the dog en- red the ring at the Boston show of 1904, he had :• points redit, and needed but one more to ome a champion of record. Eastover Lancelot big winning at the show, but was protested, I Di\ F. H. Osgood, the show veterinarian, dis- qualified the dog on the charge that it had a cut tail, the action being subsequently sustained by the Executive Committee of the Boston Terrier Club. As the dog had already won twenty or more first prizes at the leading bench shows, the disqualification made sensation among the bench show followers. Mr. Hance appealed at once to the American Kennel Club. The appeal was "from the decision of the Boston Terrier Club that Eastover Lancelot had been- tam- pered with, based on a written opinion of the veter- inarian of the show." The Spotswood Kennels presented a deal of evi- dence, but the Boston Terrier Club did not make a fight. The committee to pass on the case comprised H. K. Bloodgood, chairman: TV. B. Emery. Marcel A. Viti. G. M. Carnochan and TV. G. Rockefeller. The evidence showed that there was no indication that the tail of Eastover Lancelot had been docked or tampered with, which was backed up with X-ray photographs showing the bone of the tail, taken in the presence of three reputable Philadelphia veterin- arians. The American Kennel Club sustained the appeal and ordered the Boston Terrier Club to rein- state Eastover Lancelot. The Boston canine authorities protested the decis- ion, asserting that the case did not come up for a hearing until two days after the time limit had ex- pired and when it was taken under consideration neither Dr. Osgood, whose opinion had disqualified the dog, nor the Boston Terrier Club was notified of the hearing. The matter came up at the annual meeting of the American Kennel Club, and after a general discussion the delegates voted to sustain the verdict of the committee that had exonerated East- over Lancelot. At the Westminster Kennel Club show in Madison Square Garden, held on February 13, 14, 15 and 16, the judge of the Boston terriers, H. D. Riley of Staf- ford, Penn., awarded to Eastover Lancelot premier honors, despite the assertion of a handler at the ring- side, that he had owned the dog as a puppy in Provi- dence, Mass., and that Eastover Lancelot had then a straight tail John C. Sullivan, owner of Revillo Peach, second in the open class, first won by East- over Lancelot, promptly filed a protest. Mr. Sullivan was notified that his claim was frivolous, and the protested dog received another clean bill of health. Upon the plea that new evidence had been dis- covered the American Kennel Club issued an order to the TVestminster Kennel Club to reopen the case that John C. Sullivan might have an opportunity to present his evidence, and the work of going over the testimony was begun again. Just what the nature of the new testimony is cannot be learned as the committee refuse to give out any information until the case in finally disposed of. The object of the controversy has since died from injuries received in a kennel fight, but the has already cost the disputants about $2500, whirl! is considerably in excess of the original value of Eastover Lancelot, irrespective of the time put on the case by nearly a dozen wealthy owners at different times.

Sink the bags in water over night before sowing, and let the rice soak until morning. The husks are dry, but after being soaked the rice will sink at once to the bottom into the mud. Take the rice out of the bags and scatter it on the water. Sow in water from six inches to six feet deep with soft mud bot- tom, or low marshy places where it is covered with water the year round. If sowed in lake, sow in the bay. Drowned lands make a good place when there is water the year round. All the drowned lands round Rice Lake are full of rice. Once get it growing and it will crowd out all other weeds. "The best time to sow the rice is just before the water freezes and the diving ducks have gone south, such as redheads, bluebills, canvas backs and whist- lers. They are sure to find it, and will pick every seed from the bottom if a small quantity is planted, and is planted in October or fore part of November. "I received a letter from a man, fifty miles north of here, last year, to send him a barrel. I sent it to him in October and gave him directions for sowing. I warned him about the ducks finding it. I received a letter from him this fall saying he had a fine bed of rice and a big crop, but he had had hard work to save it. The ducks found it. He w*ent to the place where he had sowed it the next day and he said there were several hundred ducks on the bed diving for all they were worth. He and his son had to be there all the time. He killed a good many, and finally drove them away. "The great trouble with parties getting rice is that they have some persons sow it, hired help, who don't care how they sow it, on gravel bed or in ten to fifteen feet of water. I sowed two barrels in a pond hole three miles from here fifteen years ago. The pond is about 400 yards long and 150 yards wide. T sowed it the 20th of November, and the pond hole froze up that night. It is about four feet deep. The next spring the the rice all came up. It seeds itself every fall, and comes up in spring. Last report it was a big crop of rice. "I have given about all I know about planting rice. If parties who get rice will follow these directions they will have no trouble in rearing good crops." seven pounds and a third twenty pounds. Thesa fish, it is claimed, all put up a strong fight. On account of the alleged pollution of the Truckee River, near Reno, Nev., . by the Floriston paper mills the local fish and game warden has recommended that no more fish be planted in the stream, but that broofe trout be imported for planting in the small creeks, that run into the river. Although hundreds of thou- sands of fry are placed in the Truckee every year txwv supply of fish is running lower and their weight H* constantly decreasing. Fish culturists say this is due} to the destruction of their food bv the sewage from, the paper mills. Hunting Notes. The stormy weather this week has no doubt scat- tered the ducks over a wide area. But at that, good shooting is anticipated on many preserves tomorrow. During the week and on last Sunday, generally, duck hunting was reported to be good and many limit bags were made. The rains have made quail hunting conditions far better than was the situation a week or so ago. Snipe patches, on the contrary, have been turned into quag- mires and most of the birds have levanted, to the south, probably. As an illustration of how plentiful birds are in some interior sections the following from Golusa Her- ald of November 24th states: On Tuesday last sixty-five sacks of geese and ducks, mostly the former, were shipped by express from Co- lusa to San Francisco. On Wednesday the shipment was sixty-one sacks. Yesterday fifty-one sacks were sent away, making the total shipment 177 sacks. The sacks averaged seventy pounds in weight, so San Francisco is richer by 12,390 pound, or over six tons of game as a result of the recent north wind. Hundreds of birds also were killed by local sports- men, who do not shoot for market, and it is an excep- tional family that hasn't had all the game it could use in the past few days. Bay shore shooting will not be in full swing until high water prevails in the tule and marsh island dis- tricts, where now the water is shallow and plenty of feed abounds. Mr. Payne Shafter, Admiral Goodrich and J. K. Orr one day last week bagged nearly two dozen English Snipe in, as Shafter puts it, "my own marsh, a stone's throw from my door. Birds were plentiful but wild. The light was bad, as the birds flew between hills which obscured their flight until they rose above the shadowing background " LeRoy Nickell and Mr. McMullin, Downey Harvey, George Boyd and F. Van Sicklen all made good bags of quail recently on the Country Club grounds. Among the Anglers. The San Francisco Fly-Casting Club members and invited guests will meet around the banquet board Tuesday evening next at the California Hotel. The medals won in the contests this season at Stow Lake will be presented to the winners and the usual enjoyable time, ensuing when the jovial anglers meet, will transpire. The many seekers of striped bass on the San An- tonio slough waters last Sunday were, with the ex- ception of two rods, unlucky in luring the fish from the stream. A six foot tide made conditions unfavorable for good fishing. The current was like a millrace and the run out occurred in the afternoon — everything, even the weather, worked against the rodsters. The two fish taken weighed over twelve and fourteen pounds respectively. The recent rains should bring the steelhead into the tidewaters of the Paper Mill, and some good sport with half pounders is probable for anglers who will lake a trip to Point Reyes tomorrow. Stockton anglers have been catching "dog" salmon recently trolling with "Wilson spoons in the mouth of of the Tuolumne river. Eighteen fish were caught by Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Garrison. Mr. and Mrs. Wal- ter Garrison, Henry Garrison and Fred Willett. The largest salmon scaled thirty pounds, another twenty- Non-Sale of Game. At the next session of the Legislature a bill will. probably be introduced which if passed will prohibit the sale of feathered game entirely. This subject haJ been agitated from center to circumference in county! game association circles and now has many support-;' ers. The attitude of Southern California sportsmerl is voiced in the Los Angeles Times thusly: Representatives of the Los Angeles County Game! and Fish Protective Association have been instructed to stand firmly for "no sale" at the meeting of the State association in Marysville. The present fifty-bird bag limit is practically pro hibitive of marketing ducks— if enforced— as no hun- ter can legally make enough at it to pay him day ic and day out. That "if," however, is even bigger than the littlt word usually is. Locally there has been no need tc enforce the duck limit; the clubmen are the only ones who can violate it, and only in very few instance* aer they guilty of it. One occasionally picks up ml ducks than he expected and thus stretches the limll three or four, or five birds, but while the practice h somewhat reprehensible, it is nothing as compared tc the atrocious slaughter that has been practiced uppr the birds in the San Joaquin Valley by market hunt- ers, acting in a sort of quasi-partnership with crook- ed commission men whose boast is that they openls violate the law and "get away with it." Local sportsmen last year found market hunters al Tulare killing all the way up to 300 ducks daily anc shipping them to San Francisco. There were man) engaged in the business, and game wardens seemec either unwilling or unable to stop the slaughter. If the bag limit clause is hard to enforce, certainlj a fiat "no sale" clause on ducks would be impossiblt to misunderstand. Its constitutionality has beer proved in over a dozen States; it does not constitute class legislation, because no One is denied the righ« to kill a certain number of birds for his own use! Those who contend that this privilege is "cornered' by the rich forget that the use of automobiles is alsf an advantage enjoyed almost exclusively by tha> fortunate class, yet no one tries to bar the moi car from the streets just because every one cam have one. There is as much sense in one contention as in the other. The market hunters, like the politician, immediate^; drag. the poor man into the argument and say "X sale" is a blow at his rights, but they forget the poo man isn't buying even spoonbills at a dollar and J quaiter the pair. He can rent a gun, buy shells aril shoot them cheaper. There are plenty of places when a hunter can get half a dozen birds without belongim to any club. "No sale" is a step in advance. The increase ii the quail since they wrere protected from the marke1 hunters is admitted; the "no sale" clause has hel>! good here in California. Ducks are the next bird ill line. Protected from the game butchers, conserve- by a hundred clubs which shoot at most only twk a week; protected in their great breeding haunts Alaska, there is absolutely no reason to fear for th future of duck shooting. So long as market huntin is permitted, there is an incentive to the extermina tion of waterfowl, and their passing becomes only matter of such time as the history of shooting in tl) Mississippi Valley takes to repeat itself here on Pacific Coast — the last great path of migration of ducks. Eight Illegal Fishermen Convicted. Eight Italian fihermen, charged with illegally suing their vocation in the sloughs near Rio Vis were tried and convicted in the Superior Court Suisun last Friday. The prosecution was conduc by District Attorney Gregory, Attorney Geo. A. mont of Suisun and Attorney Latimer of Martinet The attorneys for the defense made a hard fight fir their clients, but without success, the evidence brougl out against the accused being quite conclusive in tl minds of the jurymen. The convicted fishermen, who were at liberty c|l bail, were notified to appear in court on Decembt, 1st to receive their sentences. The minimum penali! for the offense is $200 fine. Hence it is reasonably sui that the Solano county treasury will be enriched 1[ at least $1600 as a result of the conviction of tl| fishermen. II CARLOAD OP "3 IN ONE.* On Oct. 31st the G. W. Cole Company, sole manufa turers of the famous "3 in One" oil, shipped an enti carload in one consignment. This was the biggest single shipment of an ord for "3 in One." or any gun or household oil. that w ever made. t The shipment consisted of 66,240 bottles. As everyone knows, who knows anything about gn and oils, lubricants, etc.. the sales of "3 in One" a going forward by leaps and bounds, the increased sal of this lubricant, cleaner and rust preventer being u precedented. "3 in One" has been sold all over t world for many years. The demands for "3 in One" at times taxes th« facilities. But owing to their modern, right up-to-da1 big factory at Railway. New Jersey, and the policy keeping adequate stocks ahead, orders for large small size usually can be filled immediately, whatev the quantity. i K December 1905 i ©4w §x~eee»ev miD ^^ovt&ntan 11 UNIFORMITY IN BREEDING. The first important law in breeding is mt like produces like. But like all her rules and regulations there are cceptions. In opposition to this law the fact that like does not always roduce like. This is by no means det- mental in the breeding of live stock. he very fact that the progeny is dif- srent from either of the original stock lakes it possible to improve the stock, ecause the young stock is just as kely to be better than its parents, and L this case improvement is quickly j hade. The average breeder of im- roved live stock is not as successful t he should be because he is slow to_ jicognize this fact. i Another difficulty is the inability of pine breeders to recognize type. In tder to breed up a strain of live stock ( ith intelligent perseverance that leads !t certain improvement it is absolutely Iscessary to select a type and fix it Krmly in mind. There are many fami- es of the same breed and individual members of the different families may bssess equal merit, but because of ifterence in type the breeding back and hrth results in mediocrity. i Many breeders fail to secure extra !aod stock just because they go from l'ie type to another. Superior animals bpeal to them and they buy from 'her breeders stock that is a detri- ent when mixed with their own, not Ucause the individual is not as good i they thought, but because the type 1 ! different and they failed to recognize ■ appreciate the fact. : In order to breed a uniformly high | *'ade family it is not only necessary i \\ understand the exact type required. at it is necessary to recognize by ■lie study of pedigree of animals the [jne of improvement through which !iey have been developed It is neces- 'iry to weigh carefully the points of iperiority of the different dams and I res. Some of these may have been 'cceptiorially valuable, while others -eked in essential features. Farther 1 iian this, he must be able to recog- j;ze the influence of animals in the ie which were known to exert pecu- ■ tr prepotency. Inferior animals are found in the •rst families after every possible pre- LUtion has been observed. It re- lires nerve to slaughter animals bred om expensive ancestors which is the , ,sult of years of painstaking studied .■fort, but there is only one way to ach the top and that is to save only ,.e best. Another point the breeder must pos- ss and that is the faculty of saying f i when he is offered a big price for |;s best breeding stock.

As we all know, first class butter, - ain, etc., is ac- companied by a peculiar shade of yel- ■ . I ■■ ma this prime requisite is depend on artificially toning- Up his stands d. I do not think an intelligent discriminating public require June colored butter in imber, writes a farmer's wife in the lentleman. During the sum- ■ specially, the nat- ural color of butter is highest, presup- lg that the cows have daily access The color naturally grows lighter until in the winter the lightest shade is reached. If certain principles are adhered to, the color will be all that can be desired, or that ought to be required. The breed of cows exerts an influ- ence on the butter color. Jerseys and shorthorns furnish a good degree of color, and when the proper food is fur- nished, and proper care given to the milk and cream, the color is generally all that can be desired. Experiments have shown that certain foods have a marked influence on the butter prod- uct. For example, cotton seed meal renders the butter much lighter in color than is normal, while oats give a golden tint and firmness of grain; lin- seed meal, cottonseed meal, corn meal and bran, in connection with ensilage or green food, give satisfactory results. Of root crops, the carrot gives the high- est color, and potatoes the least: the latter has the effect also of softening the grain of the butter. No amount of "doctoring" can restore a mass ol white, frothy stuff, called butter by courtesy, to. its normal state or what it should have been by proper manage- ment. With some butter makers this condition of things is chronic. Their butter is white or "off" in color, the grain is broken and only a greasy com- pound remains. This class of butter makers must "tone up" artificially if a market is to be secured. While coloring butter is not a fraud in the sense that coloring oleo is, it is deception, and the sooner dairymen recognize it as such, the better. A dairyman lately ma*de the assertion that his product was 10,000 pounds of dairy butter a year, and that not a particle of coloring matter had been used in its manufacture, and also that he could have sold ten times that amount at El- gin prices could his dairy have pro- duced it. He heartily wishes all colored dairy or creamery or worked over but- ter had to pay the same tax the oleo- margarine does. While this is extreme, perhaps, butter makers will do well to think seriously on this subject. In some localities, I am glad to note, the dairymen, or dairywomen, either, who habitually uses butter color to impart the proper shade which right manage- ment should have given, has an im- paired reputation as a butter maker. Can artificially colored butter right- fully be called "gilt edged." Ought not that term to be applied only to that grade of butter which has been brought to the highest standard of perfection through proper attention to all details pertaining to its manufacture? Also, what proportion of customers would chose colored butter, were the r Warranted to Give Satisfaction. BomhauH's Caustic Balsam Has Imitators But No Competitors.

WRAPPING BUTTER SQUARES. The question is often asked if it is r to wrap butter with wet parch- ment paper than with dry paper. The answer is variously given, says an ex- change. Some buttermakers in cream- eries wrap their butter in wet papers for the following reasons: The butter will not stick to the paper so much and the squares can be wrapped more quickly with wet papers than with dry, as they bend more readily. When wet paper is used it should have been soaked in boiled brine so as to be free from spores. This helps to keep the butter from being affected by spores on the paper. Then men that wrap dry claim that while it takes a little more time to do the work of wrapping, the package looks smoother, as the wet wrinkles on drying, also the brine in the butter seems to work through the parchment paper more when it has been wet, as is seen by the salt in- crustations on the sides of the squares. If the butter is to be used at once there is no reason for using a wet pa- per, but if the butter must be kept a long time it is doubtless better to use parchment paper that has been well soaked in brine or some other anti- septic solution. ROUGHAGE FOR SWINE. It is generally considered that any- thing for which one has use in no other way will answer for the swine. The feeding of roughage is worked on this plan, the feeder forgetting that swine cannot make fat of anything but good material. It is all right to turn into the hog pen the clean leavings of tough corn stalks from the cow stable, but it should not be expected that the swine will get along wholly on this. Give them their share of sweet, clean rough- age and if there is a fair supply of straw on the place let them have that. Don't think it is too expensive for it will add to the capacity of the swine to take on weight and will add to the value of the manure. Of course if it can be sold for a high price then sell it and. buy something better for the hogs. A little silage will not hurt them nor will the sweepings from the hay mow especially if the latter are mixed with bran and moistened with warm skim milk. There are always lots of odds and ends around a farm which can be worked up into dainty dishes for the swine if one will take the trouble to make them appetizing. — Farmer and Breeder. BUYERS DON'T PAY FOR COLOR. An auction sale of fifty-four short- horn cows was recently made in Michi- gan. Of the number sold two were white, two red and white, twenty-six red or red and a little white and twenty-four were roan. The sale was topped by a white cow at $1,000. The second was the other white at $S25. The third was a roan at $620; the fourth, a roan at $525; the fifth, a red, with a little white at $500; the sixth, a roan at $495; the seventh, a roan at $4S0; the eighth, a roan at $460; the ninth, a roan at $450; the tenth, a roan at $410; the eleventh, a roan at $405; the twelfth, a roan at $400. The re- mainder of all colors sold at $100 to $375. It is an item worth considering by all stockmen that the two white cows topped the sale by a large figure and that only one of the twenty-six cows, red or red and a little white, was permitted to come within the charmed circle of the twelve best cows in the sale. FLOOR OF THE COW STABLE. Writing in National Stockman and Farmer on the subject of cow stables, L. W. Lightly says: I prefer to have an earthen floor in my cow stable, though, of course, the manure gutter is cement and liquid proof. I believe the cow is more comfortable on the yield- ing, non-conducting ground than on hard plank or rocky cement. It is true that the earth will wear away and has to be filled up and leveled off occa- sionally, the doing of which has just reminded me of this: The floor of the stall should be level or slope back to- the gutter very little; there Should be no rough ridges or hard, un- even places, as I could not nor can tl ow rest in comfort on such a bed. A iall quantity of gravel and earth ■ d can be made perfectly h and level, and a light covering "i ' *i i well moistened will help to keep it in place. Hogs born, suckled and ranged on alfalfa until ready to harden for the block are considered as good as the best. Tests show that the feeding value of alfalfa is forty-five per cent more than clover and sixty per cent over timothy; in fact, it is way ahead of all other forage crops. One acre well set will pasture thirty pigs for six months Even without alfalfa, using other grains for grazing, the raising of hogs for market ca n be made highly profitable in this country but with alfalfa it is a bonanza. About the largest hog of which we have record is Jumbo, owned by Jo- seph T. Moore of Oxford, North Caro- lina. It is three years of age, weighs 1420 pounds, measures nine feet two inches from tip to tip and seven and one-half feet around the girth.

The newest breeds of ducks not yet lown to the public are the Blue Or- ngton and the Buff Orpington. They ere produced by William Cook of En- and, the originator of the several va- ties of Orpington fowls, the Blue Vh, lety in 1S96 and the Buff the year fol- wing. They are thus described in e Orpington Poultry Journal: I The Blue Orpington is a very large lick, quick in maturing, good layers j immense eggs. The color is slate, [milar to an Andalusian fowl. They hre proved a wonderful good table rd. Of course only the best speci- lens are absolutely blue all over, some kving a small patch of white on the pest, which looks rather pretty when ley are swimming, so much so that any people breed them with these hite chests. Sometimes a little bit | brown is seen in them. The drakes |e a little larger and have the head id neck a darker color than the ducks. iese ducks do well in confinement and h not need water to swim in. They are lormous in size, being a good deal lar- jr than Pekins and growing quicker, JThe beak of the Blue Orpington is l.rk in color with a trifle yellow tinge, fcgs dark orange. The back is a nice »ue and underneath rather a lighter iite for the ground color. The ducks ijouid be blue all over, but pencilled the back. The carriage of the birti much the same as an Aylesbury ck, with a long body close to the ound. The Buff Orpington duck is not quite bright in color as the Buff Orpington wl, being more of a khaki color only t so dull. It is an improvement on ii Indian Runner, as they are very uch larger and more uniform in shape Id a self color. They make a fine hie bird and their eggs are larger; l;y are no doubt the best utility duck i the world for laying and table pur- I3es besides having very handsome tpearance.

Benton, her dam i;ing the great brood mare Elaine, half sister to the ; 'ighty Electioneer. Elaine was not only a champion otter of her day, being the fastest three-year-old of i |177, and the fastest four-year-old of 1878, but was great producer in the stud, her lists of standard ■otters numbering five, among tiiem being the fast allion and sire Iran Alto 2:12%. Elsie was Elaine's rst foal and was put to breeding as a four-year-old. he was a handsome big chestnut mare, with small :ar and near hind ankle white, standing full sixteen ands. Her first foal was a filly by Piedmont 2:17% lat died. She was returned to Piedmont that year l nd in 1SSS produced a colt that was called Salvini nd took a record of 2:30. Her next foal was the filly .'ovelist by Norval 2:14%, that took a two-year-old ecord of 2:27. Elaine failed to produce a foal in S90, but the following spring foaled the bay colt Rio .lto by Palo Alto that afterwards took a trotting ecord of 2:22%, and a pacing record of 2:16%. In 892 her foal was a filly that was named Mary Os- •orne and trotted in 2:37 as a yearling and in 2:28% s a two-year-old. She was by Azmoor 2.20%. Maine's foal of 1893 was the chestnut filly Palita, wo-year-old record 2:16, by Palo Alto. The follow- ng four years her foals were Ellen Houser by Tru- nan, Elsidor by Azmoor, Eligido by Altivo, and Elsie .lac by McKinney. The last named died. Elsie failed o produce a foal in 1898, but was bred again to izmoor that year and in 1899 foaled a bay colt that vas afterwards gelded. In 1900 she was again barren, ind the following year produced a filly by Mendocino. At the Palo Alto sale of brood mares held at Wil- iam G. Layng's Occidental Horse Exchange in this ity January 30th, 1902, Elsie was among those cata- ogued. A few hours before the sale she gave birth o a fine bay colt in her box stall. The mare and 'oal were knocked down to the late Henry Pierce of he Santa Rosa Stock Farm for $776. A few minutes ater Mr. C. A. Durfee purchased this colt from Mr. Pierce for $387.50, to be delivered when the colt was .veaned. That colt is now known as Galindo, and is me of the most promising young horses in California. Mr. Pierce bred Elsie to his stallion L. W. Russell ind she produced a fine colt, now a two-year-old. The mare and foal were sold to Mr. Geo. A. Cressey of Modesto. He bred Elsie to Chas. Derby and the pro- luce is a fine weanling. This year she was bred to Bonnie Direct 2:05%. Although she had lived to a greater age than the majority of brood mares reach, she was a well preserved mare up to this season, and It was thought she would live to produce several ,idditional members of her already numerous family. She has given to the trotting world five standard performers, one producing son and three producing daughters, and her blood is breeding on. Bon Voyage was the fastest two-year-old colt of 1904 and three-year-old colt of 1905. He was bred by the well-known veteran trainer and breeder, Chas. Mar- vin of Lexington, Kentucky, who raced him as a two- year-old, gave him a record of 2:15 in the two-year- old division of the Kentucky Futurity which he won, and then sold him to Mr. Clark for $10,000. The breeding of Bon Voyage is a study worth while to those who interest themselves in pedigrees. His sire, Expedition 2:15%, is one of the most fashionably bred sons of Electioneer, being out of Lady Russell, who is credited with five other standard performers, and was by Harold, her dam the renowned Miss Rus- sell, the dam of Maud S. 2:0S%, Nutwood 2:18%, and five others in standard time. On the maternal side he springs from another great family. Bon Mot, his dam, is also the dam of Endow (2) 2:14%, who holds the world's record for a two-year-old trotting geld- ing, and, besides, has produced Bequeath (2) 2:23, (3) 2:20% — both by Cecilian (2) 2.22. Bon Mot was by Erin 2:24%, a son of Belmont 64, and her dam was Farce 2:29%, a daughter of Princeps. This is a very choice combination of the best speed producing blood lines, and one that will undoubtedly commend itself to the progressive breeders of this State. Bon Voyage will be in charge of Mr. J. O. Gerrity, 4607 Agricultural avenue, Los Angeles, to whom all com- munications should be addressed. MONTANA NEWS. BON VOYAGE, the fastest three-year-old trotting colt of this year, with a record of 2:12%, winner of the Horse Review and Kentucky Futurities of 1904 land the Hartford Futurity of this year, and owned | by Mr. W. A. Clark Jr., will make the season of 1906 at Agricultural Park, Los Angeles, at a fee of $50. THE FIRST holiday paper to reach our desk this season is The Breeders' Gazette of Chicago, a journal that stands at the very head of its class, and is more widely read than- any paper devoted to live stock interests in this country. This edition is beautifully illustrated with half-tone engravings of cattle, sheep, and other farm animals and contains much that is interesting and of value to the live stock breeder. The cover page is by the well known artist F. Whit- ney, and is most artistic. CHAMPIONS TO BE OUT IN 1906. In the death of Hon. Frank G. Higgins of Missoula an enthusiastic horseman has been lost to Montana, During the past few years the health of Mr. Higgins has been such that he could not participate in racing as he wanted to and his horses were idle. During his racing career the Higgins Bros owned some of the very best horses in the Northwest. Ruby H-. thought to be one of the fastest of green pacers, was recently taken to California by Chas. Jeffries, and there are others at Missoula now. In the past Higgins Bros, have owned such horses as Brino Trix, Rena X., Bill Howard, Midget, St. Croix, etc. Frank G. Higgins was born in Missoula in 1S63, his father, Captain Higgins, owning what is now the city of Missoula. Few men were more highly es- teemed among pioneers than was Captain Higgins. Frank Higgins was the first native born Montanan to sit in the legislature and the first to be elected to a state office. ..* Cy Fleming of Spring Lake Farm has returned from Canada, where he sold a car of young horses, sired by Bob Fitzsimmons 2:07%, p. This is the second ship- ment of Fitzsimmons colts sold at Portage la Prairie, and they brought fair prices. Mr. Fleming states that all the colts sold a year ago are coming along nicely and that there is a great deal of interest in the harness horse throughout the Northwest. Pacers are plentiful, but trotters are as scarce there as here. Dan Patch, against his own world's record, which embraces all the choice marks from a quarter of a mile to two miles, sulky and wagon included, coupled with Cresceus, champion trotting stallion of the world, will be the double bill offered as an attraction at harness meetings within another year. The purchase of Cresceus recently by M. W. Savage, owner of Dan Patch, has been followed by his state- ment that the trotting champion and the present king of pacers will be sent on a tour which will be note- worthy for the first time in harness history that a pacing king and a champion trotting stallion have been exhibited against time together. Cresceus still clings to the world's stallion record for trotters. During the 1901 grand circuit season he hung up a mark of 2:02%, which reduced the then world's standing mark held by The Abbott, which was not lowered until Lou Dillon commenced her marvelous series of performances which placed the best time first at 2:00, then at 1:58%, which still holds as the world's record, wind shields not barred. But Cresceus' 'claim to stallion honors holds good, and there are many horsemen who believe that there is still a faster mile in the "monarch of the home stretch," and that Trainer Hersey, who has proven himself one of the greatest conditioners and drivers in the world, will be able to bring him to the post fit to trot better than ever. Rita Huher, Senator Hoffman's pacing mare, has gone to the trotting gait, and is being worked that way. Joe Huber states that the mare will be entered in the trots next year and that she is moving along naturally at the new gait. R. C. McFall, owner of Floy Direct, was in Helena a few days ago after the mare Josephine, and has taken her to Great Falls. The mare went wrong last year at Bozeman, and for a»time was very lame, but she seems all right now and has been taken to Great Falls. She has a world of speed and there are some good horsemen who believe that she is as good a race mare as Montana has. Higgins & Little of Helena, having sold Modicum 2:13%, p., have bought the trotter Howard L. from James Donovan. He is a very level gaited young horse and is a first class racing prospect. He is by Prodigal. — Stockman and Farmer, MR. RUDOLPH SPRECKELS' PONIES TO RACE. The running turf has gained a new recruit on this Coast entirely through the development of the Cali- fornia Polo and Pony Racing Association. President. Rudolph Spreckels having seen his cerise, with green fleur de lis and cerise sleeves and cap, carried to vic- tory in the pony races, has determined to try the big- ger game for the pleasure it will afford him to see his thoroughbreds run. His horses have been training at Ingleside, and as the next meet of the Polo Association is some weeks off he will test their speed in faster company than that in which they have been running. The horses have been carrying 150 pounds and upward in the Polo Association races. What they will do with feather- weight jockeys up is a problem Mr. Spreckels wishes to see solved. The horses which will sport his colors are Ulctma, a bay mare by Salvador-Lightning: Althomer, a chestnut mare by Homer- Altivo; Cariolly. a chestnut mare by St. Carlo-Folly, and Honoma, a chestnut mare by Homer-Noma. BOARD OF APPEALS, N. T. A. At a meeting of the Pacific District Board of Ap- peals held at 36 Geary street, on Thursday of this week it was ordered that the mare Norda be released from suspsnsion and that the money paid by G. W. Bonnell for removal of this suspension against the mare be returned to him, and that Sanford & Donahue, who entered her without authority, be held suspended. It was also ordered that F. E. Wright be returned the $50 fine imposed upon him at the Los Angeles meet- ing and that suspension against him be released. Mr. Wright was fined at the Los Angeles meeting last July, but the fine was not collected and he was told by officers of the association that it was remitted. This they had not the power to do under the rules, so Mr. Wright paid the fine under protest. . o BETTER GET THE PAMPHLET. The ailments of etookare now so closely studied by specialists that we may expect a new and more effeotlve class of remedies than has been available In the post. One of these, we believe, nas already arrived. It Is Craft's Distemper & Cough Cure, ad- vertised in another column. This remedy is not a cure-all but Is intended only for the cure of distemper, epizootic, pinkeye, coughs and ailments affeotlng the mucous surfaces This remedy Is endorsed by thousands of the leading horsemen, and Is always sold under a guarantee of money back If It falls. This Is a remedy that mav at any time be worth hundreds of dollars to stook own- ers, and our readers should be familiar wltb It. Ifvou will write • t onoe. mentioning this paper, to the Wells Medicine Co,. 13 Third street, Lafayette. Ind.. a copy of "Veterinary Pointers," a valuable pamphlet, will be sent you 0 ■ Mollie S., 2:16%, by Anthedon, owned by George Thompson, DeKalb, 111., has sent to J. B Chand- ler at Louisville. She Is an extremely fast trotter and a candidate for 2:10 honors. o The man who thinks the judges are always wrong, and himself always right, is usually the fellow who lost the race. That the people of California are interested in hav- ing the State built up with a good class of citizens is evidenced by the numerous responses from the notices printed in this and other papers over the State, asking that names of Eastern friends be sent to The Cali- fornia Promotion Committee, at San Francisco. The committee has received hundreds of answers and has sent literature and personal letters to all of the parties named in the responses. Already a partial result has been attained as some answers have been received from the Easterners who are sitting close to their fires when they received the literature telling of the balmy climate in California and showing some of the wonderful productions of the Slate. It is esti- mated by the California Promotion Committee that these letters will be the means of bringing a large number of new settlers to California within the next year. Let the good, work go on. If you have any friends or acquaintances in the East who you think would make desirable citizens for Californis send fcheii names and addresses to the California Promotion Committee, 25 New Montgomery street, San Francisco, and that organization will do all in its power to make your friends fall in love with California and come out here to live.

' Raymond," the well-known correspondent of the Horse World, recently paid a visit to the Empire City Farm, where the ex-California stallion MeKinney is now (he premier, and gives his impression as fol- lows : 'MeKinney, 2:1114, has attained his present almost unparalleled position among the great sires of ex- treme speed without having had access to a big pri- vate collection of carefully selected matrons. What then will be his standing as the result of his stud ser- vices at Empire City Farm? This was the question that kept flitting through my mind one day last week while looking over the grand collection of mares at McKinney's present home. Among the mares roam- ing in the paddocks, and nearly all of which are in foal to MeKinney, I saw Bay Star, 2: OS, by Ken- tucky Star; Bouncer. 2:09, by Hummer; Quality. 2:13i4. by Electioneer; Emma 'Winter, 2.U]/2, by Di- rectum; Midi, 2:11, by Electrician: Boquita, 2:ll]/2. by Bow Bells; Amaryalla Bell. 2:19i<;. by Liberty Bell; Deluge 2:1914. by Bow Bells; Princess Royal. 2:20. dam of the Earl, 2:14%. etc., by Chimes; Lady Rivers, dam of Sweet Marie, 2:04%; Grace Boyd, dam of Grace Bond, 2:0914; Leonor. 2:24, dam of Dr. Book, 2:10; Deluge, dam of Cathode, 2:1314; Charming Bun- ker, sister to Cheery Lass, 2:03%; Grace Hamlin, sis- ter to Heir-at-Law, 2:05%, and a number of younger mares of royal breeding, many of them being out of some of the mares just mentioned. These mares, In addition to the outside mares sent to MeKinney made perhaps, the most notable collection of mares ever mated to any sire in one season. 1 was particularly anxious to see Lady Rivers, the dam of Sweet Marie. She is a medium-sized brown mare of more than ordinary finish and her famous daughter resembles her some in contour of head and neck. She has excellent limbs and looks as though she might be a prolific breeder for many years to come. She has at her side a good looking, although not large filly by Boydello and she is safely in foal to MeKinney. The Messrs. Simpson are not so hide-bound as to be blinded to the advantages of sending some of their good mares to other leading sires, as is shown by the fact that I saw on the farm weanlings by Cres- ceus, 2:021i; Dan Patch. 1:5514; Arion. 2:07%, and Jay McGregor. 2:07%. MeKinney himself is looking excellent after his heavy season in the stud. Everyone interested in the trotting horse has either seen MeKinney or a photographic reproduction of him, but only those who have seen the horse himself can realize the well-bal- anced combination of substance and finish embodied in his anatomical make-up. Some of the photographs of MeKinney show him to be a horse of very fine fin- ish, but lacking somewhat in substance, while others show his susbstance fully, but do not depict the fin- ish which the observer of the horse himself sees. No camera seems to have caught the happy medium yet. for MeKinney really has substance and finish com- bined in a degree rarely seen in a horse. I am told that he has been a remarkably sure foal-getter this season, which I can readily believe after seeing the superb physical condition he is in this fall. Before leaving the subject of Empire City Farm, it may be pertinent to notice the addition of two more noted matrons to McKinney's harem., as during the Fasig- Tipton sale Gazelle, 2.11%. dam of Zolock, 2:05%. and Zephyr. 2:07%, by Gossiper, and Nysa, by Allerton, 2:09%, dam1 the famous Cyprus, 2:22%, by Strathmore. were purchased by Messrs. Simpson. Ga- zelle has already shown, that she is the right nick for MeKinney by producing Zolock. 2:05%. by him and Zephyr, 2:07%, to the cover in his son Zombro, while Nysa, with her Wilkes-Strathmore-Belmont blood ought to do so as soon as given a chance. This daughter of Allerton. by the way, is an own sister to Kaffa, 2:19%; Harbor, 2:19%; Falfa. 2:20: Imerino, 2.20, etc.. which makes her a notable addition to the great collection of brood mares at Empire City Farm. o Long distance races are still held once in a while in Yankee land. A Massachusetts paper says: Henry Sawyer of Marlboro, in a race against time with his little mare, won $300 last week by driving her from Marlboro to the union passenger station in Worces- ter, sixteen miles, in 57 minutes. The race against time was the outcome of a discussion which Mr. Sawyer had with Mitchell Blanchard of Marlboro regarding the ability of the mare. Mr. Blanchard claimed the mare could not cover the distance in an hour, and Mr. Sawyer took him and the arrange- ments for the race were made. Mr. Sawyer and his mare were started from Marlboro by John Ward, who came to Worcester by train, and Mr Blanchard came up on the electric, but the mare beat him out by a minute. Patrick Regan of Worcester was referee, and the timer at the Worcester end of the race was Joseph Champney. The mare finished the race in good condition. 0 ■ It is stated that the Tennessee Breeders' Associa- tion an organization maintained to promote thor- oughbred racing in that State, purposes to go ahead With its plans in 1906. regardless of the fact thai ll strong anti-betting law was passed by the legislature: This law is to take effect on December 1 of this year. On or about this date the Tennessee association In- tends to give a one-day meeting for the purpose of testing the law The case will go to the courts im- mediately, and according to a number of Tennessee's most prominent lawyers, it is said, the law will be decided unconstitutional. If the case should fall of this result, however, the association will attempt to conduct its usual spring running meeting anyhow, feeling justified in that course by a very strong and popular sentiment against the new law. PHuENIX. Nov. 28, 1905. Breeder and Sportsman: The elements have played our fair management a bad turn. The worst storm that has visited this territory in fourteen years has just been sweeping over this section and it has re- sulted in so crippling the railroads and weakening their bridges in this neghborhood as to make it un- certain as to when they can be in shape to insure the prompt movement of live stock and other exhibits for the fair; and under these circumstances, our fair commissioners have deemed it best to change the dates of the fair to December 25-30. We have there- fore reopened our purses for class races, to close De- cember 16th. and have notified all nominators in our races to that effect. It seems hard that we, who have never known bad weather here at this season of year, should be com- pelled to postpone our first fair on account of the weather; but under the circumstances it seems such a course will be for the best interests of all con- cerned, and as our dates will still have the advantage of not conflicting with meetings at any other points, it will probably be of little, if any, inconvenience to visiting horsemen. The w-eather has now cleared up nicely, and the storm had no harmful effects locally, except to injure the railroad roadbeds and bridges, and as it is uncertain just when proper repairs can be made, our commissioners did not want to take the chance of having any horses delayed on the road that might be shipped here, and so thought it best to change the dates and reset them far enough in ad- vance to insure settled conditions and prevent any further inconvenience to those wishing to attend or bring horses from a distance. Kindly make mention in the Breeder and Sportsman of the change of our dates, and that our purses will be open till December 16th. Yours very truly. W. N. TIFFANY, Superintendent of Speed. MORNING STAR 2:043.,. Star Pointer's son. Morning Star, that sold for $10,500 at the Old Glory sale last week, is described by Murray Howe as follows: Morning Star is a pacer, and the sort of a pacer that any turf writer, familiar with his short career, could write a book about. In 1904 he made his initial start at Detroit as a green horse and fought it out with the best in the land every week during the entire racing season. In thirteen starts he was six times first and seven times second, taking a record of 2:04% in a winning race. During the fall meeting at Mem- phis he joined Mr. Billings' stable and was booked as a new pole mate for Prince Direct. In their first assault against the watch this pair startled the turf word with a mile in 2:06, which mile is still the world's amateur record. Afterwards the pair took a shy at the world's half-mile record and lowered it to 1:00%. Both of these performances were to wagon driven by their owner. As everyone expected. Morning Star trained on and has not only won cham- pionship laurels in the amateur world the past season, but has shown form that warrants the prediction that he will eventually beat two minutes. In all his nu- merous trips against time he has finished first, and in his races, including the free-for-all cup events at the Chicago & Pittsburg Inter-City matinees, he easily defeated his fields He finished the season with a matinee record to wagon of 2:03, and was never given a trial to sulky. One of his last stunts was a quarter in 28 seconds to wagon, driven by Mr. Mc- Crea of Chicago. On another occasion earlier in the season he was driven by a lady who had never pulled a line over him before a mile in 2:07. In point of looks Morning Star is a picture, his manners in and out of harness could not be improved upon, and taking all his qualities in consideration it is doubtful if his equal is in existence. o Mr. Fred Pabst. one of Milwaukee's leading whips, and who is well versed in requirements of show ring winners has decided to breed trotting bred show- horses on a large scale Twenty years of study of what the market requires, convinces him that the \merican market still offers opportunities for a profit- able investment of this kind, providing stock of the right size, conformation and action, of proper breed- ing is secured as a foundation. It is hoped that Mr. Pabst will launch his venture in the neighborhood of the smaller breeders in rearing the kind of horses for which there is a market, on a paying basis. Horsemen generally hail Mr. Pabsfs advent with satisfaction, and hope to see him compete success- fully in our coming horse shows and stale T., r ex- hibits, realizing that the breeding industry will be decidedly benefited by so well posted an acquisll . o— REX BOOK. Rex Book, the Veterinary Guide, is an exhaustive treatise, just off the press. It contains 160 pages and more than 150 illustrations, with attractive cover.

STATE SPORTSMENS* ASSOCIATION CONVENTION. The California Fish and Game Protective Associa- tion convened in sixth annual session at Marysville 24th and 25th in.st. The visit of the attending vas made an entertaining and hospitable function by the Marysville sportsmen, who are noted fur their good fellowship. The meeting opened at the City Hall on Friday evening with a fair attendance of delegates and citi- zens. Col. K. a. )■'■ ls chairman. Mayor Eckhart, the first speaker, welcomed the : extended the hospitality of the city to Mi>- delej Col. Fori In a brief address on the Ish and garni roduced Presi- denl 11. T. Payne, who outlined the purposes and ob- lon in its work as follows: It i« my pleasant duty to return to you the si thanks of oui n for the warm welcome that you have extended to us. We wish also to thank the citizens of Marysville and :ly its new rous l 1 true there are not m on 1 re, but tha yeai j our ia- as at the meeting In tl ing the legislative session. sixth annual ■ tlon. We ■ i . ■ assure you, \\ 1th i that w . , y other lence of I hal i «>ui attention to the fact that it was this association that first ap- peared before the legislature and asked that a limit be placed upon he number of birds or animals that we might kill in one day. Not only that, but at the last session we went before the legislature and asked for a still greater reduction in that number, because we saw that game was growing scarce while the number of guns was multiplying and hunting be- coming more popular with the young men. So we asked for that further reduction, which I am sorry to say we did not succeed in obtaining. In addition to that, not wishing to see those who never hunted taxed for the preservation of the game, we went be- fore the legislature and asked that the sportsmen, those who did hunt, should have a license imposed on them by the State in order to raise the money necessary for the protection of the game. Now, when we do that,, we certainly cannot be ac- cused of being selfishly engaged in this work and wanting to keep the game for ourselves. We dp not- We believe the game is an important factor in the prosperity of the State; that it is one of its important resources. We know that the game of California and those varieties of fresh water fish which are pro- tected by law at certain seasons furnish the people of the State with more than 23,000,000 pounds of whole- some food every year. That being the case there can be no question that it is a valuable asset in our re- sources; for every pound of fish or game placed upon our tables allows the export of just that much more of other products and brings back to us the value of those other products. So the game and fish are worth that much in money value to the State. More than that, we know from observation and investigation that the game of California attracts to the Coast Eastern tourists and sportsmen who expend in our midst more than a million and a quarter annually. We also know- that the sportsmen of the State, those who hunt and fish for pleasure, expend in the pursuit more than seven and a half millions every year. Who gets the money? Your railroads, your hotels, your stage lines, your livery stables? Not they, for fhey spend it. It also goes to your gun shops and from those it circu- lates in every avenue of trade. It goes into the hands of those who work for a livelihood. The object of this association is to try to secure such legislation as will maintain the supply. We are trying to have such laws passed and trying to see that they are enforced. And we believe that the best way to secure their observance and to cure a man of vio- lating them is not by arresting and punishing him. and thereby possibly making his family suffer for his wrongful deed, but, if we can, by going to him and talking to him and showing him wherein he is doing wrong not only to himself, but to his fellow citizens, converting his heart and making him a game protec- tionist. For when we have once succeeded he is a game protectionist forever after and will not violate the law. Therefore we believe that educating the pople as to the value of the game and the necessity for its protection is the very best way to secure the enforcement of the laws. For that reason we are en- deavoring to plant local associations in all parts of the State. We have them in a great many counties now. In some, of course, they are not as active as in others, but in some they are so active that a violation of the law in that county is a rare thing, which has been brought about by the moral influence of the members. Tou in Marysville can do the same. As your Mayor has stated, and which I know personally to be a facw, you have in your county and the county adjacent some of the finest hunting grounds in the State. If I should tell you the number of pounds of game the people of this city consume every year it would as- tonish you; and, as I said before, by consuming that you have that much more of other products to ex- port; therefore, it is of value to you. The hunting affords pleasure to the hunters, but they pay well for that pleasure, and the money they spend in its pur- suit circulates through all the avenues of business. If you will think the matter over you will soon realize that the game is one of the resources of your county; that it brings people here from abroad. They probably come first just to have a little hunt; they come again, and the first thing you know you have made a per- manent citizen of the one who visited you a few times on account of your game. Some of the most prom- inent citizens now in the State originally came to Cali- fornia simply for the purpose of having a little shoot- ing in the winter. They came once or twice and the next time they brought their families and their pos- sessions and became permanent residents. Many of them are men of wealth. I can call your attention to one in particular, whom you probably know well. That is Mr. Simpson of the city of Lo? Angeles, who first came just for a little shooting and to spend the winter. He liked the country the first year and came back a second. The third year he was a citizen of Los Angeles and to-day owns two or three of the finest blocks in that city, where he is a man of prominence. A brother of his went to Seattle for the same reason and has now become one of the leading citizens there. And so it is all over the Coast. There- fore, it behooves you, if you have good hunting grounds in your county, to try and preserve the game, it will put money in your pockets. Probably ry duck killed in this county by men who hunt tsure $2 is spent, which goes into the pockets of your business and working men. It is said that President Roosevelt, when passing one day through a market in New York, noticing a deer hanging there, remarked: 'It is possible that carcass is worth $20- in this market, but if that deer was running wild in- the Adirondacks it would be worth to the whole people of the State of New York not less than $500." And so; it is with every deer killed, in the State of California. I venture to say that for each one not less than $250 is expended. Then are they not valuable to you. if the means of putting that much money in circula- tion? With the good hunting grounds you have around you here, with opportunities you have to maintain them, if you of Marysville will take hold of it as you' should you will go to work right now, not wait but now organize yourselves as a Game and Fish Pro- tective Association, have deputy wardens appointed all over the county, men you can trust, men who will perform their duties, and whenever you know of a violation of the law see that the violation is prose- cuted and the violator properly punished. That is the way to protect your game, and the only way. Since I have been here I have been told that a few days ago two Japanese were arrested for a violation of ih salmon law; that they were tried, and your juries turned them loose, though the evidence was abso- lutely positive that they were guilty. Is that right? It is simply offering a bribe to some one else to do the same thing. You should so teach your citizens ■ that every one of them when placed on a jury to try a case of violation of the game law will be as ready to punish the violator as he would be if the man had been arrested for breaking into a house, for in onei sense of the word he has committed larceny just the same, for he has stolen that which belonged to thej people and which he had no right to take. Why- then should not he be punished for it? But if you let him go some one else will do the same thing; will say 'This man was arrested for violation of the! salmon law, but they could not get a jury to convict' him, and they cannot convict me, so I will go and do as I please.' You should get together and determine that the law shall be enforced in the county and that the game shall be protected not only because of its value to you, but to future generations. I do not think any of you would want the next generation to say of you, "My father was so selfish that during his day he killed off all the game there was and left none for me. his son." The game is of great value in many ways that I have not attempted to mention tonight. At our meet- ing at Visalia I touched on it more extensively in showing how widely it ramified the whole business of the Lrnion, because of the amount of raw material that had to be produced and because of the manu- facture of implements and ammunition, used by the sportsman from that raw material, necessitating the employment of not only skilled but unskilled labor to a large extent. In addition to that, there are many thousands employed in the transportation of the ma-1 terial and the finished product and in the shops re- tailing the same. So I say. gentlemen, take hold of this matter ser- iously. Think of it seriously while it is time. Do noftfcit down and wait for some one else to commence. until all the game of your county is swept away. Compel those who are not willing to live up to the law to live up to it. Persuade them if you can; If >-ou cannot, prosecute them. I always believe in per- suading a man first, but if I cannot persuade him I am ready to knock him down. I am confident that most men, if they see that the sentiment of the com- munity is against the violation of the=e laws, will cease violating them because of the moral force ot that sentiment. But if they do not it is your duty as good citizens to see that the laws are enforced. State Deputy Fish Commissioner W. R. Welch read an interesting paper on "The Qualifications of a Game Warden." From which is quoted the following ex- cerpts: Recent years have witnessed a change of sentiment in regard to game and fish laws as they become bet- ter and more fully understood by the people in gen- eral. The idea formerly so prevalent that all the game and fish belong absolutely to the person on whose land it was found, or to the person who re- duced it to possession, is fast giving way to the prin- ciple that it belongs to the State, and may be cap- tured and held in possession only under such condi- tions and restrictions as the State may provide byJ law. In the absence of any statistics it is difficult to say just how many persons hunt and fish in this State each year, but I feel safe in saying that there are not less than 50.000 persons who either fish or hunt each year in California. Several States require both residents and non-residents to secure a license be- fore either fishing or hunting. The returns for 1903 show that in ten States, which have such a system, viz.. Colorado. Idaho, Illinois, Michigan. Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin and-l Wyoming, the total number of licensed hunters was 261241. The largest numbers in any of these States was 7S.S23 in Wisconsin euld 92.250 in Illinois, and; the average in all was 26.124. The destruction to game and fish, song birds and forests which an army of 50,000 hunters roaming at will over the State might bring about is beyond com- putation. In tile absence of game and fish laws these persons would be free to hunt and fish in every month of the year, to shoot throughout the breeding season, to kill song and insect eating birds for food and sport, break up nests and destroy eggs, and to destroy our valuable supply of both game and fish to the point of utter extermination. The object of game and fish laws has been lo prohibit indiscriminate hunting and fishing, to limit the bag and catch, to regulate the close seasons to conform with the laws of nature, 5] (Eiic ijJvceocr owo gp oris man l order to perpetuate our supply of game and fish nd to protect the property of the farmer from tres- ass and injury by the irresponsible hunters.

Where efficient war- ens are employed violations of the game or fish laws re few and far between and the supply of game and ish consequently noticeably increases; besides this let the farmers are saved much annoyance from ir- esponsible persons tramping through their growing rops or otherwise trespasing on their lands, the lia- ility of fires is reduced to the minimum. The farm pnees are not broken or their gates left open and. Ire rights of the farmers and privilges of the sports- len are more generally appreciated and obse. ved. At this time this State is threatened with an in- |ux of forigners. These irresponsible newcomers, ig- orant of both law and language, mistake liberty for (cense and go afield at all times of the year, without legard to reason or law and thus not only jeopardize 'he property of the farmers, but also the privileges iranted to sportsmen by the farmers. i It is the duty of every citizen, whether he be sports- lan or farmer, to report immediately to the fish and jame warden any and all violations of the law of '•hich he may have any knowledge. Where efficient nd qualified wardens exist they may have no limi- lion in making such reports, for the warden always onsiders such information strictly confidential. What re necessary qualifications of a successful warden? 'hey are many. Above all else, he must be an hon- st man who commands the respect and confidence of Ide community; he must be courageous and firm and .ifted with good common sense; he should have a lorough knowledge of the game and fish laws and re mode of procedure in the courts; he must be ever igilant and know neither friend or foe 'n the -iis- 'harge of his duties. He must likewise have a thor- ugh knowledge of the country and of the habits and taunts of the game and the ssh in it, and a knowl- fig of the different devices and methods uvt,d in leir capture. He must be a lover of nature, and ne who can spend days at a time in the woods, oting the ever-changing life therein. Above all, he lould be a true sportsman and thoroughly familiar ith sports afield and in all its departments. A. R. Orr, of Visalia, and other speakers also ad- dressed the meeting.

In order e should be a scent it is necessary that they ,uld not LL before the pursuer arrives, so that there should he moisture to damp his olfacturv nerves. Here we have conflicting condi- id are confronted by the main difficulty which Uy estimating the scenting Qualities of a particular day. Unless the panicles are • down bv a heavy atmosphere they have a tend- ; ise above the level of a hound's nose, as how can smell a fox oneself when hounds are able to make anything of it. Xow a heavy atmo- sphere means a dry one. i. e.. a high barometer, but at the same time moisture is essential, and so to have a good scent these two conditions must be onciled. Perhaps the best example of a favorable condition is when the glass jumps up suddenly after I weather, which in winter usually results m a sharp frost. * well borne out by the fact that many of the best runs on record have been immediately fol- lowed bv a long frost. While on the subject of the weather we must remember that a strong wind is a deterrent to scent, as it scatters the particles, the eption being when hounds run up wind, the parti- cles in this case being forcibly driven against the membrane, which increases the power of the scent. At the same time, on a perfectly still day, there is generallv a bad scent, one with a gentle breeze being more favorable. The temperature of the atmosphere and ground must also be taken into account; it is probably the best when they are much the same and not too 'cold. It is extremely difficult to arrive at any satisfactory conclusions when dealing with so variable a subject as the weather, and, as will be seen from the above statements, we have several necessary con- ditions which are directly opposed to each other; it is. therefore, very hard to say when the perfect state is arrived at. It is quite certain that everyone is able to cite instances which appear to be in direct con- tradiction to what I have written. Sometimes with a low barometer and drenching rain we have excellent sport, though in this sort of weather there is seldom a scent in covert; again, in September and March hounds often run hard when the ground is as dry as a bone: hut so many things come in that in these cases probably the other conditions are favorable. Finally there is the state and quality of the ground. A wet. heavy country usually holds a scent, and this is but natural; on the other hand, when the ground is over-saturated the scent seems to improve when hounds get on to lighter soil, which bears out the fact that too much moisture is undesirable. To sum up, for a probability of sport we should look for a high barometer, a fair amount of misture, and a gen- tle breeze. Klamath Country Will Be Opened. Sportsmen will be pleased to learn that work on the new railroad from McCloud to Laird Landing on Klamath Lake is progressing rapidly and by next spring it is anticipated through trains will be run- ning. The road is being constructed by the McCloud River Lumber Company and will open up, to city sportsmen, practically a virgin territory. The roadbed is now graded for twenty-five miles beyond Bartle. or near Laird Landing on Klamath Lake The gading gangs now number 300 men. Track-layers will be set at work at once laying steel rails on the twenty-five- mile gap between Bartle and Klamath Lake, the grad- ing gangs continuing their work toward Klamath Falls. The distance from Upton, the present junction point on the Southern Pacific, to Klamath Falls, is a trifle over eighty miles, according to the raliroad surveys. The McCloud Railroad is now completed thirty miles beyond the town of McCloud and the roadbed graded twenty-five miles farther. The present termius is two miles east of Bartle Station and thirty miles beyond McCloua. GOSSIP FOR SPORTSMEN. Lost on Lake Tahoe. Duck hunters have been lost on San Francisco and San Pablo bays in bad weather many a time, but the plight of two sportsmen on Lake Tahoe one day last month is a new one in the line of hunting mishaps. In the middle of Lake Tahoe, surrounded by a heavy fog, lost, not knowing north from south, and night approaching, is the position that Dr. George P. Kelley and H. W. Wilmoth were in while hunting for ducks on the lake Thursday afternoon, November 17th. About noon a heavy fog came up and not giving the matter much consideration the hunters kept up their search for the water fowl. They did not realize their danger until they observed that night was near and the fog was dense and the direction to the nearest shore resolved itself into quite a puzzle. They were out in a launch. For a while they were completely lost and unable to get their bearings. Finally, just after dark, a lift in the fog showed where there was a light on the shore and in due course the launch made the beach, from which point the lost hunters were en- abled to reach Tallac. They returned to Truckee Friday morning none the worse for the adventure and with a good string of ducks. Northern Duck Hunting. tile report descriptive of duck shooting condi- tions near there last week states: It has been a bad week for ducks, and poorer still for geese. Few. if any, limit bags have been re- ported, despite that there were at least three days when the shooting should have been good. The Mecca of nearly all the duckmen was the northern flats. The Skagit and all of the La Conner country have been teeming with mallard and sprig, but they are of the first flight, and as wise as a lot of pickpockets They know a blind when they see one, and have grown so wary that they will not even lly over a stump, to say nothing of swimming with- in range of one. It has been the same way on the Nisqually flats, at bay and on all the other ducking grounds around the Sound, and the experts have made up their minds that the best ihincr to do is to be patient until the Alaska ducks come down. The annual flight of the Alaska birds is known as the "second flight," and it always assures good shooting. The birds are fresh from the Northern grounds, and do not know i lie sound of a gun when they hear it. so that good kills can be counted on. As 1 thing, the second flight has begun before this time, but for one reason or another this year It Is quite late. On the Paper Mill. Steelhead angling in the tidewaters of the Paper Mill, near Point Reyes station has not been produc- tive of many fish since the recent rains. A number of quinnat salmon have been taken, however, by diereffnt anglers. Last Saturday, Jas. Watt of this city hooked a thirty-two pound salmon and after playing the fish for forty minutes landed it. A number of salmon have been caught recently in the pools of the marsh sloughs near Point Reyes. A fish weighing forty-three pounds was captured by a hunter near Millerton this week. Santa Clara Notes. The recent rains and stormy weather drove the ducks in thousands into the Alviso marshes. Many of the birds were newly arrived northern ducks. As a consequence good bags of canvasbacks, mallard, teal and widgeon fell to the guns of the Santa Clara valley hunters. Quail are reported to be numerous on many hunt- ing grounds in the county. Large flocks of sandhill cranes have also put in ap- pearance on the marsh lands surrounding Alviso. The sandhill crane is looked upon by many as making a finer dish than either turkey or chicken. One of these rare birds was brought in by an old hunter and placed on sale at a San Jose fish and game market, where it attracted much attention. Ac- cording to good authorities the appearance of the sandhill crane as far south as this and in such large numbers indicates that firce storms and cold weather prevails along the northern portion of the Pacific coast. Reports from Los Gatos state that the foothills above that place and north and south along the range of hills abound in large flocks of wild pigeons. The snow that has fallen on the higher portions of the mountain range have driven the birds down lower, since their food supply is only found where the coun- try is open and the land is being prepared for the crops. Two years ago thousands of these wild pigeons flocked into the valley and did a great deal of damage to the farmers, devouring the seed grain as soon as it was sown. The wild pigeon makes the most tooth- some of dishes, especially where they are grain fed. They are speedy flyers and offer the best of shooting to the nimrod. Big Striped Bass Scarce. Anglers who have made it a practice- to saunter through the local fish markets for a year or two past are unanimous in declaring that the shrinkage in the supply of striped bass is evident more and more every day. Time was when fish of over 25 or 35 pounds' weight were plentiful; now they are scarce as hen*s teeth and have been so for some time past. This is regarded as a strong indication that the in- cessant netting of the fish, every day in the year, despite the statutory prohibition of netting fish on Saturdays and Sundays, is bearing the fruits of ra- pacity and indifference to the future supply. The present condition was prophesied several years ago by men of observation and experience, but the warn- ings were laughed at or ignored. No water in the world, nor any variety of fish, how- ever prolific, can stand the draft that is made on the striped bass supply. The decrease from now- on will not be gradual but will go on at an increased ratio The remedy suggested for the preservation of the bass, is a close season of two or three months. Local sportsmen have had, generally speaking, good sport on the various game preserves. The best shoot- ing has prevailed on the Suisun marshes, where limit bags have been made by many hunters. Many of the canvasbacks and mallards killed in the marshes are found to be in poor condition. The best conditioned mallards come from the San Joaquin and Tolo basin tule sections. W. H. Seaver wras a recent guest of the Gridley Gun Club. He shot four days and got limit bags easily in a very short time. The club's preserves em- brace a tract of 7000 acres. The district is a natural feeding ground for ducks and geese and is one of the best hunting grounds in the state. The club has a membership of 100 sportsmen and a large and com- fortable club house for their accommodation. Strike — If they don't give you Jackson's Napa Soda when you ask for it. Spawning of Salmon and Trout. Observation has shown that on account of the predatory habits of salmon on the Pacific Coast only about 1 per cent of the spawn comes to maturity under the ordinary conditions of fish, life, whereas by artificial methods from 95 to 98 per cent is the result. The California fish hatchery at Sisson is supported for the special purpose of keeping up the 1 supply of salmon and trout in the rivers and lakes of the State. These two fish belong to the same farrij.l ily, though there are many points of difference be- I tween them. Salmon eggs are about a third of an inch in diam- eter, the trout eggs being only half as large. The former are a yellowish pink, not unlike the color cf the flesh of salmon; the latter pale pink. The artificial method of securing spawn is simple, but it requires skill and haste. Salmon begin to spawn at the age of three or four years, the time being about the same with male and female. Trout begin some- what earlier, the female at three years and the male at two. By a gentle pressure of the bodv the eggs are forced into a small pan, where the milt of the male is poured over them and left for a very few minutes, after which the eggs are thoroughly washed and put into the hatching baskets. These are of woven wire, painted with asphalt paint, the meshes .tust small enough to keep the eggs from falling ■. through, and large enough that the worm-like thing that comes out of the egg can drop into the trough underneath, which is always full of running water. Salmon never eat during the spawning seas When they pass from salt water into fresh water search of a nesting place they are very fat, having stored up a food supply for the coming months of struggle, for that is what the spawning season al- ways is. They spend three or four months in fresh water, exploring and fighting over the places they find. Meanwhile, as they do not eat, their alimentary canals seem to wither up from disuse; and when at last, the spawning season is over, the actual time, barring nest-hunting, being from 10 to 14 days, the fish are so exhausted from the struggle, lack of food and the effort of reproduction that death is inevit- able. The life of a salmon is spent in the perpetua- tion of its kind, but to the credit of each is an aver- age of five thousand eggs. With trout it is different. Their term of life is or twelve years, and in a hatchery it is only ne sary to renew the stock at intervals, introducing new among the old. Salmon eggs require anywhere from forty-five to ISO days to hatch, according to the temperature of the water. For trout the time is from forty-five to sixty days. The first sign of life is the formation of two black spots, which are out of all proportion to the tiny egg, and stare through the thin white film that covers the pinkish egg. These are the eyes, and as they develop a thin white line begins to form the backbone of the future fish. About this a jelly- like substance forms, and at last the film that serves as a shell loosens and through a mesh of the basket this thing that will one day be a fish drops. It look! like a worm with a very large pouch fastened to thf under side. This pouch is the umbilicus and contains the yoli of the eggs, which is gradually absorbed bv ' tht embryo fish, and is the only food it has for" fron fourteen days to five weeks. When at last the bab> fish has exhausted this food supply and bv som't mysterious means has mastered the art of swimming he rises from the bottom of the trough where he haj wriggled all this time and is suddenly carried by thi (lowing water into another trough, w-here he is fe< four times a day with a mixture of raw liver, ehoppec very fine, and sweet curd. Occasionally, to keep the fish in condition the diet is varied with beef am salmon, the latter proving a welcome change to thes< cannibal creatures. After fifty or sixty days of feed ing the fish are from an inch and a half to two an. a half inches long, and are big enough to shift fo themselves, so they are scooped out in nets, loadei into big milk cans and sent away to be turned loos' in a river or lake. A trout is a trout from the da-" it is born, but not until it gets into the ocean i salmon a salmon. While it lives in a river it parr. On the w-estern coast August and September the months for the principal run of salmon. Earl- fall is the season for the eastern trout, followed ti- the German brown and Loch Leven in the late fal Winter and early spring are the season for rainbov trout, and along in February comes the eastern brooi trout, which is followed by lake trout and mykisi commonly known as cutthroat trout, from a pec red marking on the throat. II rO. PStr :--- is iS Wild Animal Skins Scarce. A noticeable scarcity, with a corresponding inci in value, is that of the skins of wild animals. '** spread of civilization is the gradual extermination t the monarchs of forest and plain, the jungle and tn hills, and in consequence, the hides of both large an small wild animals now are prized specimens c t museums or ornamental features of the clubhous ■ ■■ :'. ■ N«i drawing room and cozy corner The skin of the lion— the king of beasts — is no t among the most valuable of the rare skins. It kingly, even as was the animal himself, and rev the great strength and courage — or supple cunning of the mighty form that it once encompassed. Tr. skin of the full grown lion is about three yards i length by one and one-half yards in width. The is neither pretty nor bright, but for all that, the shaggy rrane crowns it, like a rare jewel, in a convel tional setting, making a well-maned skin valu indeed. Much prettier is the skin of the tiger than that his feline cousin, the lion. So, too, does the tige. skin show the character of the beast which it oni enveloped and protected. Its bearded cheeks rev the animal's ferocity and bloodthirsty cunning, tl black and yellow stripes and the white belly colo*« of the big cat suggest the stealthy nature of the fo mer owner. The South American jaguar furnishes a pretty ski despite its reddish white belly and its spots instet of stripes. The leopard, also, has a pretty pelt, i December '.) 1905 j (Eiie breeder ciiit> gt^ovtamcu* 11 Eur being light yellow with black spots. The skin Df the black panther, a denizen of the Central Ameri- :an and Southern Mexican jungles, is sought for very n'uch by collectors and others. Bear skins are trophies in many a city and country :home. The black and brown bears, the commoner ind more plentiful varieties of the bruin family, are the most frequent. The Polar bear supplies a beau- tiful, soft, white, furry skin, but these skins are very 'rare' The skin of the American grizzly (Ursus hor- iribilis), is also a rarity and good specimens bring big prices, for this animal is becoming scarcer year by year, despite his ferocity, strength and gameness, Ifor the high power repeating rifle is a handicap over which the grizzly can not prevail. I Although moose and deer are common game for Ihunters, all over the continent, yet it is a curious fact that comparatively few hunters or sportsmen have succeeded in preserving their hides so that the hair !will remain on the skin for any great length of time. The American black wolf skin, with white spots Ion its snout and breast, is admired by some people. The Siberian wolf furnishes a fine, soft fur skin. I Among the farmer boys in the United States it is a i popular sport to catch foxes during the winter and !to tan their skins for rugs, robes and other ornamen- tal purposes. The fox skin is to-day not by any i means as valuable as are the skins of larger and -fiercer animals, though the fox, in many sections, is growing more and more scarce. The same might be said in regard to wildcats, raccoons, minks, etc., and ■ the day of the coyote, save in some limited and remote areas, is also drawing to a close. Among the present day valuable skins is considered ' a coat made of the skins" of reindeer fawns, the pelts taken from the fawns when but a few days old. These skins match perfectly in color, the garment is made double, so that the coat is the same outside and inside. Such a coat is as light in weight as an (ordinary raincoat, waterproof and far warmer than ■ ordinary fur, and, it is said, can not be purchased for less than several thousands of dollars. i \mong the other skins that are very valuable may be' mentioned that of the Manchurian tiger, these i beasts having a longer fur than those of the Indian i jungles. Skins of this variety of tiger are obtained -fourteen feet in length. So big are these northern China tigers that it would not be far fetched if a hunter remarked that he had been "chased by a ■ trainload of big cats" in the event of a miss and ' rapid retreat to cover. A recent choice specimen noted in a trade journal was the skin of a monster grizzly, the animal when alive weighing 2200 pounds, it is claimed. The robe I was fourteen feet long and the mounted head portion [ was tw-o feet thick.

Supply Was Unequal to Demand. The demand for Balliste has been so great among Coast sportsmen that the supply ran out and the Coast agents, Baker and Hamilton, had to fill orders to the trade with one-pound tins. The larger bulk packages were sold off some time ago in response to the unprecedented demand for Balliste coming from every section of the Coast. Efforts to procure a new stock from the East were for a time unavailing, owing to a rush of orders for Balliste. ■ Baker & Hamilton announce that an invoice of Balliste will reach this city about December 10th Balliste is reliable at all times and in all climates is unaffected by heat or cold, and gives results in penetration, velocity and recoil— that's what you want. J Every Sportsman Should Get One. One of the most handsomely gotten-up gun cata- logues we have seen is that issued by The Hunter Arms Co., of Fulton, N. T. The cover is printed in colors, the design showing a sportsman seated in a car, his dog by his side and his gun case, resting against the seat. The different grades of guns are fully described and illustrated by tinted half-tones. The different parts of the mechanism are all shown in cuts. A beautiful colored picture representing a scene in the field, "Brush Shooting," and one showing a hunter in a blind, duck shooting on a cold, raw day, are worthy of being framed. The illustrated pages descriptive of the Hunter One-Trigger guns are replete with information of much interest to every devotee of the shotgun. The title page illustration is a fac simile, in colors, of the beautiful gold medal awarded at the Lewis & Clark Exposition, Portland, Ore., to the L. C. Smith Hammerless Gun and the Hunter One-Trigger Gun. Full directions are given for ordering guns made to measure. Copies will be sent to those requesting the same, and mentioning this notice. U. M. C. News Notes. At Bound Brook, November 16, where 20 shooters took part, first honors were accorded to U. M. C. shells in the gun of Mr. Welles, who scored 146 out of 150. Mr. Welles most always wins the high aver- age, and he always uses U. M. C. shells. Mr. G. W. Cross won the prize gun offered, using U. M. C. ammunition and a Remington shotgun. Mr. W. H. Heer won another high average at the Peters' Points. The championship of Richmond, Va., was contested for on the grounds of the Richmond Gun Club Oct 28th, and resulted in a victory for Dr. B. L. Hiilman with a score of 93 out of 100. Dr. Hiilman, in account- ing for his success, gives a good share of the credit to the Peters Ideal factory loads which he used. Mr. E. H. Storr won high professional average at the Weldon, N. C, tournament, October 24-25, and Mr. E. F. Killette high amateur average, both using Peters Ideal shells. The Urbana Ohio Gun Club was successful in land- ing both the team and individual trophies which have been contested for during several months past by the gun clubs of Springfield, St. Paris, Urbana and near- by points. The final shoot was held at St Paris on November 1st, the Urbana team winning the Peters team cup with a score of 210. and Mr. E. W. Holdin" of Urbana won the individual trophy with a score of 49 out of 50. The Woodward trophy contested for during the past season by the members of the Sandusky Ohio Gun Club was finally won by Mr. John Deist, who thus establishes his claim to the championship of the club. Many of Mr. Deist's highest and most regular scores were made with Peters factory loads. At Boundbrook, N. J., November 16th, the New Jersey Individual State Championship was won by Mr. F. C. Bissett, and the first and second amateur averages for the day's program were won by Messrs E F. Markley and J. Pleiss, all using Peters Ideal factory loaded shells.

The value of the cow depends to a large extent on how the heifer is cared for. Breed the cows to a good bull, in order to have a calf that will make a good cow or a valuable steer. Churn at 60 degrees in winter and never let the cream freeze if you would make butter of high quality. The dark, badly ventilated stable is the one where disease germs flourish. Let the sunshine and air in Don't forget about currying the cow. This pays in the saving of feed and in the cleanliness of the milk and butter. The dairy farmer who undertakes to do business on the eight-hour plan will soon get acquainted with the sheriff. An old English dairyman once said to the writer: "You can't get any- thing out of a cow that you have not first put into her." ' Regular hours and kind treatment make good dairy cowTs. No rough talk- ing, brutal man should ever be allowed near the cows. Mixed farming pays better than anj specialty crop, and the mixed farmer who leaves out dairying rejects one of the most profitable branches of agri- culture. Those who are so situated that they must make their butter at home should try to make an extra quality. Such ] butter always finds a ready market in any town. If you do not own a Babcock tester ' try keeping the milk separate and test your cows by the churn. It is worth while to know how much each cow is doing for you. Teach the heifers to lead while they are young and do not let them forget it Nothing is more disagreeable to handle than a cow which has not been trained to the halter. When we sell butter only, we sell sunshine and water. When we sell whole milk, we sell the fertility from our farms. In a ton of butter there is less than a dollar's worth of fertilizing elements. A manufacturer of cream separators told us that he had noticed that cows which are out in the sunshine every day make the yellowest butter. Whether this is true or not, it is es- tablished that sunshine is good for cows. String a wire just under the ceiling the whole length of the cow stable, just behind the cows. On this put a run- ning hook on which to hang the lan- tern so you can slide it back and forth. Then no cow can kick it over and cause a fire. As a rule a kicking cow shows that she has been around a kicking man. If she kicks because of sore teats, she cannot be blamed, for it is her only way to enter a protest. Sore teats should not be allowed, as they show careless treatment. comparatively simple matter, and yet it is of very great importance to so train horses that they will normally move briskly, and at the same time adopt a slow, steady gait when the necessities of the work on hand re- quire it. — Wallaces' Farmer. o GROWING MONEY ON THE HOOF. GAIT OF THE DRAFT HORSE. The normal gait of the draft horse is a walk. He was not made to trot or run. It is important, however, that he acquire when he is first broken the habit of walking lively and walk- ing slowly when a slow gait is re- quired. The gait is largely a matter of in- heritance, and the draft stallion or mare that can walk briskly should in all cases be preferred to one that moves off as though it had all the time there was in which to go a short distance. Much, however, depends upon the trainer. Most farmers when they break colts put them alongside of some steady-going old mare, a regular "Ioi- termobile," which may be all right to start with; but as soon as the colt moves off himself let him acquire a brisk walk, as though the time was too short for him to do the allotted work. While for plowing heavy sod a slow, steady gait is inevitable, and in plow- ing corn for the first time preferable, in almost every kind of farm work a better job will be done by a team that knows how to step up briskly. The training of a draft horse is a For a young farmer just starting out to battle for himself in the fight for money, the most effective means to pursue is to grow money on the hoof. Buy a few good bred heifers of the breed you like best and take care ol them. Select a pedigreed bull and use him on the common cows already on the farm. The appreciated value of the first crop of calves will go far to pay the purchase price. Use only a high class individual, even on scrub cows, if you wish to get the best re- sults from such a cross. The offspring will show marked improvements in physical characteristics. Females bred to a pure blood highly prepotent bull will transmit to their progeny a still stronger tendency toward uniformity of type, which will neutralize in a large measure the original blood. There never was a better time for the far- mer to begin breeding pure bred stock. There is no safer and none promises such steady, sure returns. There is no question but that cut (chaffed) fodder of all kinds is better relished and fed with less waste than lone forage. Whether the saving thus effected will compensate for the at- tendant expense will usually depend upon the market value of the hay or other material, although it should not be forgotten cut straw, stover or other stuff makes better bedding for the stable.— Hoard's Dairyman. The eager feeder sometimes over- feeds the calf. Some claim that more calves are injured by overfeeding than by not feeding enough. Cows may be successfully kept with- out any pasture. There are some dairy cows who 6o not graze a blade of grass from one year's end to another, and who do pretty well, too. In handling young cows, a soft brush used upon the udder will be found very acceptable to them. They seem to rel- ish it and appear anxious for the brushing time to come. The custom of letting cows stand untied in their stalls is growing among dairymen. It is more like having them in an open pen or lot, they keep cleaner and are as easily handled as when tied. It would be a strange affair if a good cow were to result from a poorly fed, poorly tamed calf. Tet sometimes it does occur, and a good cow does come in spite of conditions. Very few dairy farmers make such a poor out at farming as to be anxious to sell out. Almost all of them make it pay. Most farmers should not depend upon the mills for their cow feed. They should grow so much corn, al- falfa, cowpeas, sorghum, soy beans, peanuts and hay that they will not need much besides what they raise. Dry cows should not be fed as lib- erally as those in milk, though they should not be left to rustle for them- selves. The best way. or at least one of the best ways, to keep young cows from learning to kick is to handle them very gently at first. Tench them to be handled, and that they will not be hurt. Bran is being adulterated with rice hulls. Careful feeders examine the feed with a microscope for adultera- tions. A writer claims that there are very lYw "dead-beat" cows, and that their unprofitableness is owing to their man- agement. 12 ®iu: gSrcciH'V axii> &povt&ntan L December 9. ltfl'6 AT WHAT AGE SHOULD A PIG WEIGH 200 POUNDS? should a pig be to weigh 200 will depend upon sev- First, the kin, ■ - ,)u have for carii - man who reeds ..,. if he is not a particu- ich work, lie will never - is also impor- , , of hogs il does not raise a pure bred hog - Hit). ill re- quickly to kind treatment than the hog.

Every time you meet your hogs and they hear your voice they should greet you with a grunt, un the other hand, if they do not seem to enjoy your company, but show the whites of their eyes, they are not the most profitable kind of hog to keep and the sooner a man gets rid of such pigs the better it will be for his i book. Kind disposition, and good constitution means great feeding capacity with wonderful assimilating powers — the only proper foundation to build upon. Having pigs of the above description to begin with, plenty of soaked corn and ground wheat and* judicious feed- ing, they will weigh one pound for every day they are old. If you only have a few you can make them do better. In addition to the above ra- tion they must have dry quarters to sleep in. This does not necessarily mean a mansion, but it must be con- structed so as to be dry all the time. Damp sleeping places are fatal to all kinds of young stock. With the pig. if it does not kill him outright, it will - a train of ills that will cost his owner nearly all of the profits, if not all. They must be kept free from vermin. Have a good sized grass lot to run in. They must be provided with green food of some kind all the time. The range should be sufficient to give them good exercise, else they will not do their best. Also, they should lie provided with pure water all the time.

I never feed but twice a day and never have fed ground wheat exclu- sively to fattening hogs. If I ever do, I shall make a self-feeder and feed it dry. Have fed plenty of soaked wheat, but it is a wasteful way of feed- in iter feed whole wheat dry. It is my endeavor to grow healthy pork as cheaply as I possibly can, hence I never feed much corn to pigs or brood sows. With plenty of green feed of some kind and a rich slop made of ground wheat you can keep them contented and well satisfied, which is an important point, and soon have a great big frame (not deathly poor by any means) ready for the finishing process. At this stage you can gradu- ally slacken on your wheat slops, if you like, but at the present prices in this country wheat is just as cheap as corn to feed to hogs. I always like to finish them off on nearly all soaked corn, as the meat is a little firmer and they do not shrink so much in ship- ping. I never feed any condiments to my hogs. Neither do I use the slop barrel any more. Feed all foods as pure and sweet as you can. and FOR SALB.

If the calf is worth carrying through the winter it is certainly worth caring for properly, and by properly is meant good food and water, and proper care. If the calf is strong and health} it ought to pay well for the best at- tention that can be given it. First of all it needs a dry, clean place, not warmed by artificial heat, but as warm as lack of draughts in a comfortable stable will make it The early days of the calf, just after weaning, are of great importance and too much care cannot be taken to see that the milk given it is absolutely fresh and pure, and fed in proper quantities. As a rule, the calf will properly take care of eight pounds of milk per day, which amount can be gradually decreased until at a month old it is consuming twelve pounds daily. About this time it ought an»~ to become interested in hay, and after awhile will begin chewing its cud. A calf built up in this manner dur- ing the winter will be in excellent shape to turn out to pasture in the spring and get most of its living until fall, when you will have a splendid animal, one you will be proud to add to your herd. FLAXSEED FOR MILK COWS. "Whenever flaxseed is fed it must be used in small quantities because of the cathartic effect that it will have upon the animals, says Hoard's Dairyman. It should be fed in very small amounts to begin with, say a tablespoonful twice a day. The amount can be grad- ually increased until the animal is re- ceiving a pound a day, or to the point where it begins to show a loosening ef- fect upon the animal's digestive or- gans, but we do not think it is advis- able to feed over a pound of it a day. A beautifully marked cow is attrac- tive, but breeders have in view the quantity and quality or the milk she gives Fads are all right, but they don't pay as well as butter and milk. The best butter makers are using seven-eighths of an ounce of salt to the pound. They let it stand twelve hours after the first working, then work it again, and pack it into jars. A runty calf will eat its head off two or three times a year, and then not he of any profitable value. ..MILLER TRAINING CART.. TWO HIGH-CLASS STALLIONS For Sale at a Bargain.

Craig, veterinarian of the State of Indiana, which is so valu- able that it is reproduced herewith: The main precautions against carry- ing disease germs into the yards areas follows: 1. Hogs from other herds, or stock shows should not be allowed to mix with the herd until they have been proven free from disease. 2. -A 11 possible ways in which the germs can be carried into the yard by people, dogs, birds, etc., should be guarded against, especially when the disease is present in the neighbor- hood. 3. Dipping or washing the hogs with a 2 per cent water solution of a tar disinfectant should be practiced and the animals placed In quarantine ior at least three weeks in yards that do not communicate in any way with the regular yards. 4. "When it is necessary for persons to enter pens where the disease is known to exist, they should clean and disinfect their shoes when leaving. 5. Persons taking care of sick hogs should use all possible precautions against the spread of the disease in their neighborhood. The importance of clean feed, water, troughs and feeding floors must be emphasized, as it is in the feed that the germs usually enter the body. In no other place on the farm are white- wash and disinfectants so necessary as in the hog houses and pens. Pastures and lots can be kept in a more health- ful condition if the hogs are taken out for a few months each year, and a forage crop sowed in the unused lots. Clean yards prevent exposure to a large number of active germs at any one time, in this way being an impor- tant help in preventing disease. Pens and pastures receiving the drainage from neighboring swine enclosures should not be used. Some of the necessary measures in the treatment of a sick herd are as follows: 1 Disinfect the feeding floors, troughs, hog houses and their imme- diate surroundings daily with a water solution of a tar disinfectant (2 to 4 per cent). If this cannot be done, re- move the hogs and build temporary quarters. 2. Feed a light, sloppy diet of shorts, bran, etc. 3. Do not leave water and slop in the troughs for the hogs to wallow in. 4.' Copper sulphate can be dissolved in the drinking water and slop in the proportion of four ounces to the bar- rel. 5. The dead hogs should be burned or buried, and their bodies covered with lime. If these precautions against the spread and perpetuation of "hog chol- era" were observed, it is believed that this disease would not exist as an epi- demic from year to year.

OPENING SATURDAY, NOVEMBFR II Sheep, either as a specialty or as an important adjunct of the regular farm- ing operations, are raised in all parts Df Scotland. In the farming country ivhere the rent values are from $5 to 515 per acre, sheep are considered in- dispensable, as they not only gener- illy give handsome returns in mut- on and wool for the feed consumeu ind labor expended, but they also in- trease the fertility of the soil. The Scotch farmer values sheep very lighly as soil improvers. Although use >f commercial fertilizers is very gen- ■ral in all parts of the country, the armer who takes possession of a vorn-out farm invariably resorts to heep feeding as the quickest and urest way of enriching his land On he hill and mountain land sheep are rown in large numbers. With high nd well-drained land the conditions i Scotland are well suited to the pro- uction of sheep, so many parasitic ■oubles which so often cause heav* >sses among the flocks of England are Imost unknown in Scotland. The cli- iatic conditions are favorable to the rowing of roots, especially turnips, hich form the basis of practically all leep feeding. The fall and winter onths are generally open and permit ie grazing of the turnip crop, elim- ating a great deal of labor in har- ;sting, and saving the labor of hand- ig the manure.

Ian Francisco, Saturday, December 16, 1905 ); THE OCCIDENT STAKE is California's greatest ■ rotting classic, and to -win it is the greatest honor 'three-year-old trotter can achieve on this coast It is the richest stake of the year to the winners, as he entire amount is divided between the first three 1 the final summary. There is 60 per cent to the .-inner, 30 per cent to the second horse and 10 pet ent to the third. This year North Star by Nutwood Jvilkes, the winner, won §2,491, Bellemont by Zombro , ras second and won $1,045.50, while Princess L6uise, ho was third, was awarded $348.50 or just $248.50 lore than the entrance money paid on her. It will e seen that the Occident Stake is a profitable stake |o win or get money in, and the winning has led to lore than one sale at big figures. The stake of .908, which is for foals of 1905, will close for entries •in January 1st, 1906, with Albert Lindley Secretary of .he California State Agricultural Society. The foals [if 1905 are now weaned and every owner who expects |(o train, sell or race his foal of this year, should see ■ jhat it is entered in this stake. The amount required o make the entry is but $10 and the payments there- ('fter are made yearly. The State Fairs of California re to be made greater expositions in the future han were ever held on the State Fair grounds. By 90S, when this stake is trotted, it need not surprise ■.nyone if there are 20,000 people on the grounds, omething that has never occurred at any State Fair in the past. If your colt can win the Occident Stake jf 190S he will command a big price right then and here. He will have no chance on earth to win unless [ie is entered as there are no substitutions in the )ccident. THE SAN JOSE RACE TRACK, which was recent- y purchased from the San Jose Fair Association by Jr. Hanchette, representing the corporation that has ecently purchased the San Jose, Santa Clara and Uum Rock Railroad, will not be used for railroad mrposes for a time at least. Budd Doble. who has .is stallion Kinney Lou 2:07% and a number of others ,t the San Jose track, was told by the new com- pany's representative that the track would be kept n order for training and that no change was con- emplated at present, except that a number of im- ■rovements were being considered that would makv he track more popular with harness horse owners han ever. It is possible that a great agricultural air" will be given there annually if plans now under '/ay materialize. TAKE OFF YOUR HATS to the Los Angeles Har- ass Horse Association. Although the two excellent arness race meetings given by this organization this ear were not financially successful, although from . racing standpoint no better meetings were ever eld in any country, the Board of Directors has de- ided to give two meetings in 1906. one in the spring, nother in the fall Good purses will be offered and he same high class management will govern the leetings. The gentlemen composing the Los Angeles larness Horse Association do not propose to give up ecause one year's gate receipts and other re- ell below the expenses. They intend to make another ffort and the "Breeder and Sportsman" desires now 0 urge upon every breeder, owner, trainer and other erson interested in harness horse affairs to do what e can to make the Los Angeles meetings of 1906 big uccesses. Gentlemen of the harness turf, take off our hats to the Los Angelenos. They have do; re doing everything in their power to build up har- ness racing in California and they deserve our un- ualified and unanimous support. MORE INTEREST THAN EVER is being taken by California breeders in harness colt stakes. The Pacific Breeders' Futurity for the foils of mares bred in 1905 closed on the 4th instant and has a larger entry list than last year, which is a splendid showing. The number of nominators is much larger, showing that the number of individuals interested in the breeding and racing of trotters and pacers is on the increase in California in spite, of the fact that the circuit of harness racing is so limited. The winning of the Occident, Stanford and Breeders' Futurity Stakes this year by North Star has shown breeders that it i.s possible for a California three-year-old to earn a large sum without leaving the confines of his native State. If these three rich stakes continue to be well patron- ized in the future, they will naturally increase in value year after year a. rid the time will surely come when a three-year-old' that can defeat all of his age in the California stakes will earn §10,000 or upwards for his owner. The full list of the nominators in the Breeders* Futurity No 6, with the name of mares nominated and stallion bred to, will appear in our issue of next week, which will be the annual Christ- mas number. It will be for sale on all news stands at the usual price — ten cents. The new long shaft, low seat McMurray Speed Cart, in two different weights— forty and forty-five pounds — will arrive at the Kenney Manufacturing Company's place of business, 531 Valencia street, San Francisco, this coming week. Buy yourself a Christmas present that you will enjoy every day in the year. "W. G. Durfee of Los Angeles has recently pur- chased a colt by his Onward stallion Petigru 2:10% out of Juliet D. 2:13%, dam of Irish 2:08%, by Mc- Kinney 2:11%. This colt is well staked and gives promise of being a fast one. Mr. Durfee has three yearlings by Petigru, all of them fast. Petigru is siring speed from all kinds of mares, which is not surprising, as he is fast himself and is bred right to transmit this quality. There are about 250 head of trotters and pacers working at the Los Angeles track, and the interest in the harness horse has not waned any in the sunny south. Horsemen there are looking forward to much sport at the matinee races of the Los Angeles Driving Club, which will be held quite often during the winter. S K. TREFRS'S KENNETH C. (3) 2:17 The San Francisco Wheel and Novelty Company at Sixteenth and Valencia streets has just received a shipment of beautiful 1906 model road and speed carts from the Houghton Sulkey Company. These carts are as fine as anything in the market and are growing more popular every day. In all the races to be decided at the meetings of the Los Angeles Driving Club in the future, carts will be used instead of sulkies At a recent meeting of this amateur organization, a proposition was ad- vanced to require all horses starting to be driven to wagon. Owing to the fact that this would require a large outlay from the treasury of the organization, as many of the members can hardly afford to own sliced wagons, it was decided that carts would be the regulation hitch in the future, or until the organ- ization considered itself in such a financial shape that it could afford to purchase sufficient wagons to supply all entries with one. o The Trotter and Pacer says: "When Trainer Johnny Dickerson arrived home this fall with his string of campaigners, after a most successful season, some one asked him if he was going to keep the same private car to ship his horses in next year that lie had used this. 'Of course,' was Dickerson's response, mhI say, that car is a mascot It has a lucky num- ber— 999— to begin wiih. It was purchased first Cor Ed Geers by C. J. Hamlin. Oeers was always lucky when he used it. We ''ought it from the Village ' Earm last spring, and this year has been Lhe mos.l suc- iii u-<- aver had. Wje had some vacant stalls. which Tommy Murphy used early In the season, dur- ing which time he was very fortunate. Then Lon McDonald took the vacanl stalls aboui the middle of the season and he commenced winning right away. Lon has pace In the car for next year.' " BEST RECORDS.

L Hehir, of the well-known firm of Belden &, Hehir, harness goods dealers of Santa Rosn. recently pur- chased from Millard Sanders the sulky that" Lou Dillon drew when she made her world's record of 1:58%. . The sulky is now on exhibition at the Belden & Hehir establishment in Santa Rosa an9 is attract- ing great attention from the residents of the county where Lou Dillon was bred. The sulky weighs jhm twenty-four pounds and one ounce, and it has been made famous by the performances of the little animal from the City of Roses. With it at Columbus, O.. Lou Dillon set the first mark for a trotter below two minutes, and established a record which may never be equaled or beaten. The sulky was presented to Millard Sanders for his work with Lou Dillon. It has the name of the world's champion painted on it in gilt letters. It is also stated in the dispatch that Mr. Sanders will spend the next two months in Santa Rosa. Good pasturage where there is no wire fencing and plenty of good box stalls can be had at the farm of Mrs. M. L Chase, Sonoma, Cal. See advertise- ment. A colt that is being greatly praised by every horse- man who has seen him is the yearling coll by Mon- terey 2:04% out of Dot McKinhey by McKinney 2:11% that James Berryman of 2220 Santa Clara avenue, Alameda, has in training. This colt is a handsome bay, good headed and with remarkable speed. He is entered in the Breeders' Futurity, Occident.

A match race came off on the Alameda race track last Sunday between R. Consani's Daken D., driven by himself, and Correghino Bros ' Lulu F., driven by Tom Nuckols, the colored driver. Mr. Consani won the race in straight heats in 1:11% and 1:12 and proved himself an excellent reinsman. The match was for $20 a side. Mr. J. I. Sparrow, the well known coast agent for the Miller cart, acted as presiding judge and Mr. McTigue held the starters' flag. A large crowd was present to see the sport. May King 2:20, sire of Bingen 2:06^4, by Elec- tioneer, dam May Queen 2.20 by Norman, was sold to N. B. Parsons of Maine for $235 at the Old Glory auction last week. May King was foaled in 1886. He once sold for a price well up in the thousands. W. A. Clark, Jr., owner of Bon Voyage and other good harness performers, recently underwent an oper- ation for chronic mastoiditis in New York. His con- dition is satisfactory at the present time. It is announced that Nettie King 2:20^4 gave birth to a full brother of The Abbott 2:03*4 at Hillandale Farm, September 20, and was mated with Bellini 2.13^4. According to the old-age theory this young- ster should be much faster than The Abbot 2: 03^4- SIDNEY DILLON Guy Fortune 2:11% helped maintain the reputation of the Alcyone branch of the Wilkes family as blue ribbon winners at the recent National Horse Show in Madison Square Garden. He won first prize in the class for trotting stallions four years old or over, kept for service. His sire. Guardsman 2:23%, was a son of Alcyone 2:27. The latter once won the blue ribbon over the famous Mambrino King at the Na- tional Horse Show. Guardsman 2:23% is a full brother of Quartermaster 2:21*4. In 1S91 Quarter- master was awarded first prize, $500, at the National Horse Show in the herd class for stallions with four of their get. His competitor was the famous Mam- brino King and four of his get. In 1S92 Quarter- master won the $1000 prize for best trotting stallion at the National Horse Show over Mambrino King and Haldane 2:26%. At the same show he also won first prize, $500, in the herd class for stallions with foui of their get, beating Alcantara 2:23 and the noted Village Farm stallion Chimes. Eddie Mitchell, who was formerly with Cresceus but is now in the employ of Winans Brothers of England, writes as follows to the American Horse Breeder: "I arrived here safely from the continent with Alta Axworthy, Wig Wag and Katherine A., after a very successful year. We like Alta very much. She is a great mare for our kind of racing as she can go over any kind of track and in any weather. She has only made two breaks for me this year. She has trotted faster than any four year old that ever came to Europe. The last time she started she gave Contralto 30 meters and beat her Our stable won thirteen races and a little over $15,000. In her long distance races Alta wore only eight-ounce plain shoes in front, no toe weights, five-ounce shoes behind, knee boots and shin boots. When she won the champion- ship of Europe she was handicapped in the final heat by the breaking of her knee boot suspenders. This let the boots drop down around her ankles and I thought every second she would leave her feet as the hoots were making a terrible noise in the mud. But she stayed on a trot and won the heat. Mr. Winans has nol decided yet whether lie will race next year in n i < i or Austria. Alta can beat 2:06 right now on a mile Mark." In the Chicago horse market the receipts of horse: for the first ten months of this year totaled 113,343 against 95,509 arrivals for the corresponding pe'rio< last year. Local consumption for the ten months ii Chicago was double the volume for the same perioc of 1904. At a recent auction sale in Chicago 15 of th( 70 horses sold had been worked for eight of ten year; and yet they realized $210 each. Horses that hat been worked for six months to two years, some o which were bought at an average of $325 each, wen sold for $280 apiece. The fast brown filly Rosabel 2:24% by Adbell- owned by W. B. Chisholm of Cleveland and cam- paigned the past season by Ben Kenney, was fount dead in her stall at the Glenville track last week Rosabel had shown miles in 2:10% in her work thi past season. Texas Rooker 2:05% will be raced' in the free-for- alls on the ice in Canada by Dan McEwan. W. J. Andrews thinks Ethel's Pride 2:06% wil take a record of 2:04 or better next season. Knap McCarthy has decided to postpone his Cali- fornia trip and will winter Norman B. 2:06% and th< rest of his stable at the Terre Haute, Ind., track. Ethelwyn, dam of Ethel's Pride 2:06%, is in i to Admiral Dewey 2:04%, son of Bingen 2:06% am Nancy Hanks 2:04.

Concha, daughter of A. W. Richmond, is now en titled to a place in the Great Brood Mare table. Sh< is the dam of the McKinney mare Idylwild 2:17$j and the pacing mare Amber 2:25 by Conifer. Ambi took her record at the recent Los Angeles meeti in a trial against time. fen Wei !S1 i] v; :- The Davisville" road drivers had an afternoon oi racing on the 2d instant on the half mile track a' Campbell Bros, farm west of that town. The firs: race, in which there were three starters, was won bj Campbell's Sadie M„ a trotter, with Orin Wright': Lottie Wilkes second and Del Grieve's Whoa-haw- Dick third. The pacing event was won by F, P Smith's Irish Lassie, she beating out Orin Wright"; Mono Rose a few inches in each heat. A race foi saddle horses and a broncho bucking exhibition fin- ished the program. A large crowd was present. Millard Sanders, who intends opening a pubhi training stable at Pleasanton, states that before h( left the East he made a proposition to Mr. Billings owner of Lou D-llon 1:5S%, that he would take thi mare next year, train her and try to lower her record which he firmly believes he can do. In case he shoulc not succeed in his endeavor he would not charge i cent for his services as trainer. It has been pub lished in the Eastern papers that Lou Dillon wouk be bred to John A. McKerron in 1906, as Mr. Billing: would be in Europe all the year. Frank Irvington 2:23% is the premier stallion a the Springside Stock Farm, Lima, Ohio. He is bj Nutwood Wilkes 2:16%, out of Nettie G. by Antefei 2:16%, and is owned by Dallas J. Cable, a well know: attorney of Lima. He was bred by Martin Carter o: Irvington, Cal. .:::' Ms At an auction sale recently held in Attica, Ind I four of the get of Dan Patch 1.55% brought $S60, $7601 $550 and $450, respectively, the two highest pricetj being bred like Ed Patch 2:0S%.

Tommy now holds world's record. He is the only man who has ta care of the champion trotting mare and the cha pion trotting stallion. Owing to the infirmities of extreme old age, the stal lion Epaulet 2:19 was mercifully put to death at thi Grandview Farm of his late owner, Robert Steel, al Doylestown, Pa., near Philadelphia, a few weeks ago! Epaulet was foaled in 1SS0 and was bred by R. S Vecch at Indian Hill Farm, St. Matthews, near Louis-i ville, Ky., and was by Auditor, son of Rysdyk's Ham-, bletonian. He raced successfully before going into th< stud and is a fairly successful sire, his standard lis comprising fthirty-six standard performers, all bu ; three of which are trotters.

"The death rate among- children has been reduced :."> pel i in Los Angeles and adjoining counties by he rigm enforcement of the southern ordinances cov- riir I ie inspection of milk." This statement was nade by Dr. W. E. D. Morrison, Assistant State Vet- erinarian, recently at the second annual meeting of .he California Livestock Sanitary Association at the Palace Hotel. j The a*sgpciation is made up of the veterinary ofn> pals of '(file various counties throughout the State land its offiect is to assist in stamping out contagious , diseases <£mong cattle/^ Much of the time of the •neeting was taken up '-with a discussion of anthrax Umong cattle and scab among sheep. Dr. Morrison, who read an interesting paper on j'Duties of County Livestock Inspectors and the BesJ: „' Methods of Carrying on the Work," took a p'rs his cows have been tested and unless the milk pomes up to the required standard. In the south, he [said, the custom was to impose a fine for the first [infraction of the law and to revoke the license upon |:Ke second offense. He suggested a uniform ordinance throughout the ,j3tate and believes its influence would be felt im- mediately. He attacked the present sheep law, under Which shepherds, and not qualified veterinarians, may Ipass upon the condition 'of diseased sheep. i Dr. Work of Berkeley reported that the Oakland au- thorities maintain a strict watch over both milk and the dairies. Berkeley, he said, was not so strict, many liiseased cows being kept in dairies there. j Retiring President Megowan dwelt particularly in [his address to the members on the necessity of tiu: [Inspection of milk, as it was a disseminator of dis- ease. He said the question of tuberculosis among battle was a vital one and that the chief duty of the issociation was to prevent its spread. I Dr. F. N. Sawyer, county live stock inspector of ;Kern county, spoke on "Tick Extermination." He :?aid if cattle were dipped systematically at monthly iintervals for one year in suitable oil it would dis- courage the ticks. He said the oil found in the HECern fields was too heavy. He also recommended. 'keeping cattle off infected fields for a year, cultivating J£e land in the meantime or pasturing sheep there. ' Dr. R. A. Archibald, city veterinarian of Oakland, ^gpoke on "The Use and Abuse of Anthrax Vaccines." .(He held the vaccines in use at present are neither scientific nor efficient, and said the existing conditions 'are deplorable. He held the sale should be controlled Ljby law At present the vaccine is chiefly useless, as 'the makers have to send it out mild in order that it will not kill. i( Dr. A. Ward spoke of the "Veterinarian in the- Laboratory." He said the State Laboratory at Berke- ley extended its privileges free to veterinarians and the officials were glad to assist their professional brethren. The officials are always ready to arbitrate 'in disputes regarding the quarantine of cattle, es- pecially in anthrax. There was a discussion of the feed question and Pit was agreed conditions were bad. The recent rains injured the old feed on hand, while the frosts have retarded the growth pf the young grass. The new officers of the* association are: President, Dr. R. L. Archibald, City Veterinarian, Oakland; secretary and treasurer, Dr. Charles Keane, State Veterinarian; executive committee. Dr. F. N. Sawyer, Dr. George Faulkner, Dr. TV. E. D Morrison.

Lou Dillon 1.58%, Major Delmar 1:59%, and Cresceus l : 59%, all trace to Hambletonian on both sides— most Of them several times.

HERSEY AND DAN PATCH. t "There was quite a lot of criticism over my select- ing a practically unknown trainer to succeed Mc- Henry," said Mr. Savage, owner of Dan Patch, re- cently, "and I was as much gratified with Hersey's success as with Dan's. I had a great deal of faith in Mr. Hersey, naturally so or I would not have given full control of Dan Patch to him. He is a college man, and I believe brains and education will tell in training a horse as well as in other lines of business en- deavor. He has earned all his siaitcess by hard and faithful work, intelligent application' of his knowledge 3f horses and particularly , his study 'Jf the individual he has to train. ' "There are other trainers who wijuld have made more speed in a shorter time — and Hersey undoubt- edly could have if he so wished — but they would have had nothing to show when I wanted it, in the fall. He went very easy with Dan Patch in the spring, so much so that not a few called my attention to it and also to the fact that the horses at Louisville :ind Memphis were beating 2:10. Now the first time |Dan appeared before the public this year was on Labor Day and before seventy thousand people he heat two minutes, and I do not believe a horse ever went so many good miles as Dan s'nce that time up to i his mile in 1:5S at Memphis. And more than this, he has never been a disappointing mile in his life. fHe is always ready on any day and over any kind of i track.- Dan Patch is back home now and he cam jack weighing twenty-five pounds more than he did alien he went away."

He sired Al- exander's Abdallah when he was three years- old.- and he was one of his greatest sons. Surely this is a notable exception. Alexander's Abdallah had no stan- dard record, and he was 11 years old when he begot his best sons, Almont and Belmont, and neither of these had standard records. While some of our greatest sires and dams wore horses that have been trained and raced, many of them to low records, yet the fact remains that some of our greatest brood mares never wore harness. In this connection Dr. J. W. Neal seems to have shark the matter nearly right, to my way of thinking. He says: "My experience and observation teach me that, while blood lines and manifested speed are. beyond question, fundamentals in harness speed breeding, the real secret of success, after we have these things as a basis upon which to build, is individual selection and mating. "In horse breeding 'like produces like-' with very many and very marked variations In fact, the law of like producing like in a Biblical sense means only that a certain species will reproduce that species, the building up of certain traits, qualities, and character- istics in certain species' being the results of certain lines of inbreeding and individual selection, the fun- damental principle in line breeding and specific char- acteristic production and perfection being the con- densation of a certain strain of blood. "I take it for granted that practically all harness speed breeders of the present day recognize the rea- sonableness of relying on so-called trotting blood in the production of harness speed, and this leads up to the" point of individual selection and mating of trot- ting-bred sires and dams. When harness-bred speed breeding shall have been carried on for centuries, as has running-horse breeding, there will still be fail- ures often when anirrlals of the choicest breeding are mated, just as now happens often in running-horse breeding, unless the strictest attention is given to proper individual selection. "Horses, like humans, have temperamental charac- teristics, and with horses, as with humans, males and females of the same temperament do not cross well in reproduction. In harness speed breeding, then, trot- ting blood comes first, and individual mating second as elements of success, and I am not sure but that this should be reversed. In mating stallions and mares of strong breeding, the innate and tempera- mental forces of the one are either augmented or neu- tralized by the innate and temperamental forces of the other, and the resultant offspring is consequently often greater than either or equal to neither; "Nearly all stallions and mares are either, "positive or negative in temperament and disposition— aggres- sive or passive — and, in nature, mating 'two of a kind,' absolutely of a kind, means nothing as a pro- duct. One had as well try to get an electric current from the joining together of the negative poles of. two batteries as to expect a race horse from the mating of a stallion and mare each possessing the same positive, aggressive temperamental characteris- tics, or the reverse — i. e., both negative — for life it- self,' vital force, is electricity. Very largely stallions and mares are like either pole of an electric bat- tery— are either positive or negative — and it is a well-known law in physics that either two positives or two negatives produce a negative — nothing "In undertaking to breed harness speed the first es- sential, of coarse, is to select stallions and mares of approved harness speed producing blood lines. The next essential element of success is a close analytical study of mental qualities and characteristics. If a mare is bred right, is 'snappy,' nervous, 'high strung.' and has a tendency to be "nighty.' she is a 'good pros- pect' as a speed producer, provided she is ma fed with a well-bred, rather phlegmatic, courageous, level- headed, non-excitable, 'deaconish,' 'clock-headed' stal- lion, who displays his real metal only when IdgOJ^fipIy 'shaken up.' Sluggish, indifferently disposed mares, howevej w< 11 bred, will produce speed only when bred to stallions of the tense texture, 'high-keyed,' dashing-, alert, 'breezy-acting' soil — tin- 'hot-blooded' kind. A studs of the individual i haracteristics along these lines will compensate any speed breeder, and what Is lu-iv said is said more for the purpose of stimulating thoughl along these lines than with a view of imparting"" !.v ilu- able information.' "'Many men are of many minds- on the subject of i breeding, as well as on : ! c subj< < fc of religion, politics, and planl !ng corn, and I e opin- ions probably will always differ, more or l< strong, not over excitable, 'clock-headed,' rather phlegmatic temperamental make-up, have proven the most uniform and successful speed sires George Wilkes, Electioneer, Onward, Wilkes. McKinney, Sid- ney, Nutwood, etc.. all have, or had, this same ti i amental make-up largely, while, with scarcely an ex- ception, great speed-producing brood mares have what we call in the human family, nervous tempera- ments, are quick, nervy, snappy, alert, and 'off like a Hash.' "—Chicago Inter-Ocean. INDIANAPOLIS AS A MARKET FOR CALIFORNIA HORSES. With the discontinuance of the Cleveland sales, California horsemen naturally look to Indianapolis as the distributing point for such horses as they may de- sire to market in the East. The Indiana metropolis is admirably suited to California shipments, not only on account of its geographical location but 1 ,ms. it has in recent years attained the posit iofi i. the leading sales center In the Middle West and recent sales at that point have demonstrated beyond ques- tion that racing prospects of real merit and the bet- ter class of breeding stock will bring better values at Indianapolis than anywhere in the East. The Middle West has been blessed with a number of years of transcendent prosperity and the very great majority of the more pretentious breeding farms are "_ i'w lo- cated In the Ohio Valley section and nearly all of the Grand Circuit stables are sent out from the same section — and of this section Indianapolis is the great traffic ceq.t£T. and when it is remembered that both McKinney and Sidney Dillon found new homes at Indianapolis, California horsemen should readily see therein the sign of the times. At the last Indianapolis sale Mr. James Butler of East View Farm, New York. offered a consignment of upwards of forty head, and so satisfactory were the results obtained that Mr. Butler has announced his intention of making a sec- ond consignment to that point at the spring sale the first week in March At the same time, the Ken- tucky breeders almost to a man favor Indianapolis as their best sales point and are sending all of their best stock to the Indianapolis sales. No market offers bet- ter sale facilities than Indianapolis, every accommo- dation being -unsurpassed, and under the conduct of such a firm as the Blalr-Balser Horse Company, In- dianapolis will continue to grow in the estimation of thoughtful horsemen as .the best of all Easijfrn sale points. Mr. Frank P. Kenney, who is knovMnBRilrery California horseman, is in active managem«*it < sale affairs of the Blair-Baker Horse CorrrpWiy, is a sufficient guarantee that every'" consignment shipped to Indianapolis will receive the same careful and attentive service necessary to the attainment of the best results*- Mr. Kenney will be pleased to cor- respond with Californians who are contemplating making an Eastern consignment this spring. The coming spring sale of the Blair-Baker Horse Company is scheduled for February 26th to March 3rd. PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS' ASSOCIATION. At the annual meeting of this association, held in New York last month, a vote of the eighty members was taken as to whether steps should be taken to abolish the three-in-five system.

THE SALE OF CRESCEUS. ndent of the Country Gentle- 000 voted by New York improvement say?: ted that the State has ratified .nenument; so I have been looking he work as carried on in Erie County without tion for extension niade last . thanks to rnor's veto of the bill to \n the expenses budget. In that case there lainly nothing to do but look after existing of which there are fifty-four miles in the y under the supervision of the county engineer, : ail are looked after uniformly and kept in order ' It is probable that the really unsolved problem in the maintenance of macadamized roads is the dust. iter the stone of which the body of the road is - : powder by wearing, there is still a consideraK - wearing property left, which would be made the most of but for the fact that it becomes iisht by drying and blows away, thus causing the best road of the sort to waste away constantly through the summer, and at quite a considerable rate, if the travel is heavy. There has been some study of the resistance to this waste and the rendering of such roads more passable in dry weather by sprinkling, but County Engineer Diehl declares that it is out of the question. A team with sprinkler can cover but a short distance. and there is need of considerable apparatus, including a gas engine and pump where there is no hydrant service with pressure. An effort was made some time ago to sprinkle a piece of such road south of Buffalo, but it was found that the road dried up so fast that it was actually impossible for the driver of the sprink- ler on his return trip to find where he started in. "While such a road slowly wastes away, it grows more solid with use, and if kept a proper thickness it will give the best satisfaction possible in a road that is still something of a nuisance in dry weather, both to traveler and resident, from the clouds of dust raised especially by the flying automobile. I am con- vinced that the common idea of a "good road" is still- in need of considerable modification, and that the problem is not solved yet by any means. I am not trying to throw cold water on the plan, much as the road needs it, but it can do no harm to show what is to be expected of the stone road as at piresent built; otherwise we are going to be much disappointed. The average advocate of these roads has an idea that all that is needed is to build them. He will soon dis- cover his mistake. Again as to the first cost of such roads; I read the other day that it had been shown that $200 a mile was enough to lay out on them at the outset. If that is true, there is a big chance for missionary work in this direction. "While ii is true that something could be done with that amount where the roadbed was solid rock to begin with, such a condition is too uncommon to be worth considering, though there is a big difference in natural foundations. Erie County is laying a six-inch macadam, and the engineer in- sists that there should be twice that thickness near the large towns, where travel is heavy. Otherwise, there is danger of its breaking up in extremely wet times. Now as to maintenance. It is found that this costs about $50 a mile every year in the most favorable localities, where the natural bottom is good, with lit- tle wearing travel and not much hillside washing. Near Buffalo, where the travel is heavy, the cost Is about $1 000 a mile every year, with an average of about $26S a mile for the whole amount of new state road in the county. "When we consider this running cost, we are little less than frightened, unless we are contractors after that work of unthinking citizens, with the idea that the resources of the state are limi- t even $250 a mile for repairs, it would take the interest at 5 per cent on the entire $50,000,000 to maintain 10 000 miles of road; so that when the roads are built, the thing to do is to put up another vast sum for keeping them, as the most fcolishly expensive thing imaginable would be to build these roads and then leave them to go to pieces again. If the cost of building these roads to be cut down •r.ing like $200 a mile, someihing other than used, for it is found here that of it to build a mile, and that it -l.TiO a yard to get the material to the spot, and we have only a six-inch de*ih at that. I am of the n that there will be same better plan for these I some day. for to build them out of a o errind to pieces and fly about ' the people and vegeta- i side of the road does not seem to at ti imph of high ^ineering.

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 were 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. Author- ities 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 connection with him and that is that whatever his ancestry- Jus- tin 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. And as the list of great race horses that inherit Morgan blood increases one can but feel that old Justin Morgan was a horse im- mensely above the ordinary. Fortunately, while there has been no widespread effort to maintain the breed in its purity, our trot- ting 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 without 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 his- tory 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 for horse his- tory, he is a gentleman of means and he wunt 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 he 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 horsemen there is less tribe worship than formerly obtained. But the Mor- gans, like all others of merit, have come to their own. Their place in history is as permanent as it is eminent. — Grattan, in Kentucky Stock Farm. "Onlooker" writes to the American Horse Breed' the following interesting gossip about the sale Cresceus: Before the sale of Cresceus there was much spec la tion indulged in as to the probable price that would bring; guesses ranged all the way from $70' to §75,000. There were just two bids on him — the fii at 520,000, and it took Auctioneer Bain considera: time to find the man who made the offer, so quie did he speak, and then Mr. Savage's bid of $21.0' at which figure he was knocked down to the Mi: neapolis. horseman. Doubtless the fact that Cresceus has but five in f list, and none of them notable, though we believe tl majority of his get are but yearlings and two ye; olds, and that his future earning capacity depem entirely on his stud career, operated to keep do- the price on him, and doubtless the odium attached the "Wichita scandal had its effect, too. Probably two or three years ago he would ha brought at least three times what he sold for laj week "We are informed on reliable authority th; Ketcham refused an offer of $105,000 for him, made b; a "Winnipeg syndicate at the winter meeting at Otta' in February, 1904. That Cresceus is the greatest trotter, taking him all in all, that the world has ever seen, will, we think, be acknowledged by every candid horseman. As tu his success or non-success in the stud it is, of course, too early to declare positively one way or the other, but it is not too early to say that up to the present his get have not made good the expectation of him as & sire, and there is no question that he has been bred to some of the best mares in the country. It is not reasonable to suppose that the colts sired by him during his first seasons in the stud, after such strenu- ous campaigns as he went through, will prove his best. We shall look for his later foals to be better. It is altogether likely that he will sire some, per- haps many, good trotters, and, perhaps, too, some great trotters, but it must be conceded that "perhaps" implies a future contingency, a matter of speculation. Horsemen are getting more critical and exacting every year, and therefore more reluctant to put down their coin for "may. bes." Their touchstone is "show me." and especially for a sire to head a stud, particularly when to procure such involves the expenditure of a large sum of money. Mr, Savage will give Cresceus the best of opportu- nities to demonstrate his ability as a sire, for he will be well advertised, and Mr. Savage does not believe in excessive stud service for a horse. He will limit him to not more than 60 mares the season. Of course Cresceus is worth more to Mr. Savage than to any other man, for in securing him he has got a champion trotter, the most famous in the history of the light- harness horse, as a stable companion to the champion pacer, Dan Patch, and as an advertisement for his _products the pair will be a great card. v2 [fi h :::■ la NEW YORK DRIVING CLUB REORGANIZED. The Xew York Driving Club, or the former organ- ization of amateur horsemen, with headquarters at the Empire City track, went out of existence Novem- ber 21st, at a meeting held at the Victoria Hotel, ac- cording to the Telegraph. About fifty horsemen at- tended the gathering upon the invitation of President Charles C. Lloyd, and while the press was excluded by the latter's orders, yet enough leaked out to show that a very stormy session was held. Dr. H. S. Gill president of the Boad Drivers' Association, was pres- ent with several of the leading members, and it was mainly through his efforts that the name at least was preserved. After calling the meeting to order Mr. Lloyd an- nounced that the Xew York Driving Club was no more He explained that the original club had only eleven members, who were interested in the purchase of the Yonkers track, but those now hiving disposed of their holdings to James Butler, the organization is now gone out of existence. He said that Mr. Butler has now decided not to allow the use of his track and the grounds to the horsemen, and moved that the meeting be adjourned. The horsemen, however, re- fused to carry the motion, and upon the advice of Dr. Gill, followed with a strong speech by W. J- Clark, decided to preserve the name of the "Xew York Driving Club." Upon a second motion a committee cf nine were chosen to look for a track where regular matinees can be held during the summer season. Among those present was Alfred Reeves, secretary and treasurer of the two amateur associations for irs until last spring, but who, upon the urgent request of the horsemen, again accepted his former position, much to the satisfaction of the members. Se :ral tracks in the vicinity of Xew York were suggested, but the most available appears to be the good half mile oval at Orangeburg, sixteen miles from the city. John L. Dodge, former president of the Road Driv- ers and owner of the track, told the horsemen present that they could use the track, stalls and clubhouse each week absolutely free of charge There ,,... i 200 comfortabli stalls, with all the latest improvements, two artesian wells, and the clubhouse has thirty rooms to accommodate horsemen in case they desire to spend the night there. Groups of horsemen were seen discussing Ih of the meeting and almost all appi for the turn the matter took. They now belli ve that the rganized club, under the direct man- I ioj ■■■■ i will draw more members r itlm es and bring it to its former high ling. WAS JOHN NELSON'S DAM A MORGAN? A writer in the Newark, X. J.. Call says: Mr. Al- fred A. Snyder, who died two weeks ago in Montclair, once owned, jointly with his father, the trotting sire John Nelson, for whose correct breeding very per- sistent search has been made by historians of the American trotting horse John Nelson was foaled in 1851. and his breeding has been accepted — as by imp. Trustee — except that his dam is in doubt. The Sny- ders came into possession of the horse in 1855. He was at that time in training on Long Island in the hands of John Xelson, from whom he took his name. Mr. Snyder paid §400 for a half interest in the horse. The firm owned the horse until the spring of 18m and then sold him to Horace F. Jones, who kept t> stable in Mercer street, near Prince, in Xew York. While the Snyders owned him he showed a mile in 2:36. Mr. Jones returned the horse to John Xelson for further training, and during 1S5& sold the horse to California parties Mr. Alfred Snyder stated to ifl writer that the dam of John Xelson was not by Aa- dallah, as generally credited, but by one of the Ver- mont Morgans. He saii that he had frequently chal- lenged anyone to prove that John Xelson's dam was the Redmond mare. The horse, he said, was only four years old when he came into his possess!™ and his dam was well known, but in the lapse of years he had forgotten which of the Vermont M - was her sire. He was firm, however, in his de tion that John Nelscn's dam was a Morgan, anil there never was the slightest question about it where iff horse was known. Mr. Snyder's claim that the cam of John was a Vermont Morgan is backe i by Mr. Newell ot Xew Brunswick, where the horse was raised. When Mr. Snyder sold the horse he received $1,800 for him. Mr. Snyder said that John Xelson was a ho - commanding presence, matchless for beauty and con- formation There were few horses, he said, that con compare with him in style an 1 general f.nish. m 1855 Mr. Halsey Snyder, father of Alfred SnydS bought a mare that was in foa! to John Nels the filly that was foaled "was the first of John Nel- son's produce.

TOZEB, WM 1 There was a shift of the racing scene to "fair Ingle- de" last Monday, and as the public believes that irariety is the spice of life," the change was wel- pmed by a large crowd — this notwithstanding the pening day's program was featureless. But one fa- prite got home in front — the Keene Bros ' San Primo -in consequence of which the gambler won and the kntleman lost. However, the win of To San in the iird event carded must have cost the pencilers a podly sum, for several "in the know" made clever •lean-ups." Jockey Walter Adams got the St. Blaise tare off in front and let her set the pace, which was ■pt so hot that she did not have a bit left to stall off ie rush of Gossiper and Escamado at the wind-up. hat Gossiper was best most persons believe, for she fcpt off rather poorly, but I am of the opinion that To jan is a better mare than she is given credit for i ?ing and will prove it ere long, also that Jockey idams is a pilot vastly underrated in his home city. In the Canadian circuit, however, where he has rid- '»n forseveral years, Adams is thought to have no Kiperior, and he has also "made good" at Bennings (Washington) and at Union track, St. Louis; The lira fast win of Neva Lee, track considered on the {pening day at Ingleside, shows that the big sister .► Scarborough is of stake caliber. She made such arses as Corn Blossom, Beau Ormonde and Judge j ok like §300 selling platers. I well remember when iiis filly was disposed of at the Winters sale for gnething less than $500, and how mad Mr. W. got at 1'ie failure of horsemen to bid something within rea- lm for the stock offered. 1 The Ingleside track is not a "fast" course these ays, and I much doubt the ability of anyone to reh- sr it "fast*' ever again. Those horses who run best Ver a heavy track will do splendidly at Ingleside. The dispersal of the great Rancho del Paso Stud ■oks to me very much like a "weeding-out" sale, for I will be noted that "Watercress and all the other .allions (and mares) that have shown their worth ill find their way to Elmendorf, J. B. Haggin's Ken- mfky principality. The removal of this immense lot Ie horses from California will be beneficial to the (olden State breeders and doubtless result in better rices for Golden State yearlings and an increase in I ie number of thoroughbred horses, bred in the State [y those Then who remain in the breeding business. |ancho del Paso, with its hundreds of horses and i rge numbers not sent to the sales at the East be- i tuse of injuries received or the belief that they were 3t "fashionably bred" enough to command good I :ices, were turned over to horsemen here with U horn S uperintendent John Mackey was friendly, hid these youngsters were secured on such easy rms that it was not necessary for men to go to the i des and pay "red money" for their gallopers. There- re but few took any chance, in a financial way, and the horses secured on such easy terms proved | orthless, there were always others to be had again li almost the turfman's own terms. Now all this ill be changed, and if a man wants to. remain in "the same" he will have to "take a chance" at least, and the dispersal of Rancho del Paso Stud will put a lot of buyers on the market, and with competition will come considerable increase in the prices for thoroughbred horses in this part of the world. There- fore, as remarked before, the dispersal of Rancho del Paso Stud will be beneficial to California breeders. It was rather surprising to me to see Thomas H. Williams buying yearlings at the Burns & Waterhouse sale, because he has expressed himself as being ad- verse to racing thoroughbreds when in the "vealy" state. Perhaps he will not send his young racers to the races until August or September, thus making his past contention good. It was evident that larger prices would have been realized for the B. & W. youngsters had not. Mr. Williams been such a promi- nent purchaser. In the first place, suspicious persons might have thought the jockey club president knew the real good ones in the sale, and in the next, knew they would have to "loosen up" a lot if they outbid the head of racing affairs here. Rubric, Henry McDaniel's Mirthful colt, is the speed marvel of the season at Los Angeles thus far. Last Monday he ran seven furlongs in 1:26%, winning eased up, and good judges believe he could have gone the route in about 1:25%. Jockey Buchanan is much in evidence at Ascot these days, and a new-comer, H. Moore, is also attracting much attention by his riding. Now that W. Miller has arrived, there should be considerable rivalry between this boy and Buchanan. Bearcatcher broke the mile race record of the Pa- cific slope last Saturday when he went the distance in 1:38-% with 117 pounds up, winning with a bit to spare after getting away none too well. McBride let the St. George colt get well- on his stride before he let him down, and though Princess Titania set a heart-breaking pace the first half and clearly had San Nicholas beaten (the black horse had run six fur- longs the day before in 1:12 flat with IIS pounds up), "the bear" was well in front three furlongs from home, and won with ease in 1:38%. "Tou will notice that I'nvtolerable gray for a young man," said Garnett Ferguson after he had got through receiving congrat- ulations over Bearcatcher's victory, "and nearly every gray hair was placed there by 'the Bear.' as they call him. He has had catarrhal fever, lung fever and several other kinds of fever, bad feet and everything that horses are heir to, and last summer he broke down flat on me when just breezing to Artful. He moved up to the speed marvel several times, and Lyne would keep him from coming through, no mat- ter where he'd try. Then he broke down, and fin- ished second at that. J. W. Rogers, trainer of Artful, remarked to me after the race that Bearcatcher was the only galloper he ever saw that could breeze to Artful. I am satisfied Bearcatcher could beat Artful, big as this may sound; in fact, I don't believe any horse ever lived with more speed than he. The only wonder is 'the Bear's' alive, let alone being the winner of twenty-eight races out of thirty-three starts." I respectfully refer readers to my article in the Christ- mas number of the Breeder and Sportsman of 1904, as to what I thought of Bearcatcher. At that time I put him in front of Beldame or any other racer in America. In the death of Captain Samuel S. Brown, the Pittsburg multimillionaire, the American turf loses one of its staunchest supporters and the breeding ranks one of its leading lieutenants. Captain Brown has been prominent on the turf for about thirty years. He owned several Buckdens along about 1880, and Matinee was the pride of his stable at one time. Then came Troubadour, who won the Suburban handicap and $110,000 in bets for Captain Brown in that race in 1SS6. Senorita, best daughter of imp Prince Char- lie, followed Troubadour, and so enamored was the millionaire of this great mare that he named his stock farm after her. Broomstick gained great fame in the Brown colors in 1903 and 1904, and this season Agile has kept up the reputation of the string. Captain Brown owned the Lexington track, which was estab- lished in 1S26, and had made nearly 5100,000 worth of improvements there in the past eighteen months. It is said the genial captain left Senorita Farm and 100 of his horses to Max Samuelson, his financial agent and confidential man on the turf. The Lexington track will be operated by the estate's managers for the next ten years. Nearly $15,000 was realized at the dispersal sale of George Davis of Pleasanton. at Chase's salesyard last Tuesday night. The thirteen thoroughbreds were bid in: the trotters brought fair sums. The 106 horses of Major B. G. Thomas and Colonel W. L. Simmons, sold by the Fasig-Tipton Co. at Lex- ington. Ky.. last Tuesday, brought $22,325, showing that the market for thoroughbred mares is not in a very healthy condition. Manager J. W. Brooks of Los Angeles offered a $2500 purse for a six furlong race between Handzarra. Cruzados and Bearcatcher, to settle the sprinting championship of the Coast, but- the new California Jockey Club secured the last named pair to race today at five and one-half furlongs over the Ingleside track for a $1500 purse. A banner crowd is expected for these are absolutely the fastest horses in training on the Coast, and it is doubtful if speedier ones were ever seen in this part of the world. The death of Captain S. S. Brown was a severe blow to the American Turf Association, which had the best wishes and coin of the multimillionaire back of it. Ichlana, the good St. Gatien mare in George Went- worth's stable, died last Wednesday. She has been ill ever since being shipped from Spokane last Octo- ber, and stood up in her stall for thirty-two days. The mare was a winner in good company at the far East, here and at Los Angeles, and was valued at $4,000. C. T. Henshall brought Ichlana to the Coast to race, and she was bred at Rancho del Paso. John Mackey has recovered from his recent illness. Matt Byrnes is getting together a good string of English horses to race around New York for a wealthy Wall streeter named J. W. Hennings. H. T. Oxnard bought the game American Derby winner, Sidney Lucas, at a sale in New York on Wednesday for $1,600. Clandestine, the winner of the third race Wednes- day for the Keene Bros , was boosted from $400 to $800. Toupee was "lifted" from $1,200 to $1,800 by C. C. McCafferty, who secured the gelding, and F. Gabriel, former owner of Toupee, claimed Instructor for $1,325 from the Needmore Stable. Dr. H. E Rowell is training the yearlings recently purchased by Thomas H- Williams at the Burns & Waterhouse sale, and will in all probability handle the Jockey Club president's flyers at the East next season. A big coup was attempted last Wednesday with Veteran, and he ran a good fourth on a fine field, most of the money going on at 100 to 1.

The test of velocity as a means of judging the pene- tration of a charge of shot has, from time to time, elicited much criticism. The differences of opinion be- tween the old and the new schools may, perhaps, be diminished reviewing the developments which have ■ l. Black powder was so stable an explosive, and its action so little open to variations of one kind other, that a rough and ready test of penetra- ivay of shooting at a gunpowder tin was suf- lo judge the strength of the charge, provided the pattern was already known to be satisfactory. Close observation of results and ingenious theorizing i" elucidate hidden truths provided the nearest ap- that was then possible to scientific gun ex- periments. At such a time the sportsman occupied as favorable a position as the trade expert for making the kind of test which was then regarded as determin- ing the i i the gun or shell. The very enthus- b these researches were conducted ed the way for the series of develop- ments which have carried experimental gun work reach of the ordinary shooter. The sci- entist hi trrled things so far that the mission of instructing sportsmt n i entirely confined i'inhig in the language of the elementary text- book the experiments which in nov conducted to de- termine the behavior of guns and nitro powder. 1 in :■ i ex] iments is rale lo the sp< u the measure- over twei pj ovides an effi- cient it iiu-ge of shot. Mr. Griffith, in hi.- ■- rin • snts to determine the stiii ol a i harge of shot, fired at a circu- lar plati meter, which made about five and a half revolutions per second. It was shown that at twenty yards, the charge of shot had strung out over a distance of about forty inches, whereas at forty yards, nearly nine feet, separated the front from the back pellets of the charge. These figures are constantly brought up against us as evidence of the fact that chronographic measurements take account only of the behavior of the front pellets of the charge. A careful examination of the diagrams reproduced on page 51 of Parti., of "Sporting Guns and Gunpow- ders," shows that 90 per cent, at least of the total number of pellets which struck the target at twenty yards range are concentrated into a little over twenty inches. Considering that at the usual sport- ing distances the shot is traveling with more than ten times the velocity of the bird, it would seem as though for all practical purposes the twenty yards velocity test might be regarded as fully covering the behavior of the entire charge. Mr. Borland spent a consider- able amount of time, and his company no doubt con- tributed a proportional amount of money, to analyze still further the measurement of velocity. The ar- rangement used registered alternatively the arrival of th first pellets and the whole charge. The fact that Mr. Borland employs the ordinary method of testing velocity over twenty yards for the routine work in- cidental to the manufacture of E. C. powder seems to suggest that he, at -any rate, after trying both methods, is satisfied that the simple arrangement is also the best. If a shell gives a suitable velocity over twenty yards, as judged by present day standards, it seems impossible to understand how it can give abnormal results at other distances. In the course of a year hundreds of tons of powder are graded and regulated on the twenty yards test, and no one appears yet to have discovered a single instance in which a correctly regulated powder gives indifferent results when prop- erly loaded and fired in an ordinary gun. Experi- ence again confirms the obvious conclusion that a powder with a weak velocity proves deficient in pene- tration when tried on game. In a similar manner an excess of velocity, however it may be produced, is at all times liable to produce such a scattering ef- fect of the pellets as will diminish the effectiveness of the shooting. There is. therefore, overwhelming evidence that the velocity test of penetration is com- pltely satisfactory from whatever point of view it may be regarded. Notwithstanding this weight of evidence, it has been held that every gun must be considered as a thing apart, and that the velocity test of a shell affords no index of how it will behave in a given gun. It is just the particle of truth under- lying this statement which makes it difficult to pro- vide a comprehensive answer. If the generality of guns in use are regarded as complying within ap- proximate limits to a pre-determined st: clear enough that a million of shells cbhfi der which has passed the velocity and other" tests, will give better results in the aggregate than a simi- lar number of shells complying with a different spec- ification. If every gun in which these shells are used could be subjected to a special test for velocity, there is no doubt that a definite proportion of them would be found to give abnormal behavior. The proper remedy to adopt would be to alter those guns which are susceptible to alteration, and to throw out of use the others, which, by reason of excessively large chambers, badly shaped cones, or unduly wide bar- rels are found to be deficient in necessary material. Failing the mechanical remedy, some improvement might might be made by modifying the charge of powder so as to correct in some measure the bad behavior of the gun. Such a course is bad, because it admits the principle of correcting a fault in the gun by introducing another in the shell. The above observation seems to imply the need for every gunmaker to test the velocity of every gun before sale, with properly loaded shells. Such a sug- gestion is, however, impracticable, but it neverthe- less carries with it a useful indication of the means which should be adopted to make the generality of guns so that they may produce the results anticipated by the powder, manufacturer when he regulates his product. At the time when we were engaged In su- pervising the manufacture of our experimental bar- rels for testing sporting cartridges, says the Field, it became necessary to work out a specification for the chamber, cone, and bore which would give a proper shandard of velocity The early barrels were found to give an extraordinary excess above the ex- pected amount of velocity. This abnormality was traced to the dimensions of the chamber and the shape of the cone. When the barrel had been ad- justed to a new set of dimensions a specification was arrived at, which proved to give satisfactory re- sults in all barrels subsequently manufactured. The gunmaker who carried out this work on our behalf at once appreciated the importance of this discovery, and he instantly put in hand a set of gauges and cutting tools to control his own output on the lines approved by our tests. We have been instrumental in other directions in privately initiating the same useful reform, and it has been interesting to find, whenever the opportunity lias arisan for testing subsequent output, that all the guns controlled by the gauges so determine 1 have given the correct amount of velocity. Such an expert"^" ence seems to demonstrate the utility of the twenty- yards velocity test as a means of regulating the be- havior not only of the catridge but of the gun as well. 2 To insure a -repetition of the proof barrel results the sportman's own weapon, it is clear that the gu: should be chambered and bored truly to gauge, the gun is incorrect in these respects the sportsman will suffer more or less, according to the amount of error existing. He cannot gain any useful information* [ from pentration tests; and without a large amount o*< experience, which in the nature of things he cannot possess, it is impossible for him to learn much from examining patterns on the whitewashed plate. The regulation of the gun is purely and simply a question for the gunmaker, and it is in the selection of a man who knows his business that the sportsmai stands his best and only chance of getting a gi which will include, among the many attributes successful use in the field, a form of chamber and bo; capable of showing the shells on its best behavior. From what has been said, it will be apparent that the sportsman's own tests of thirty years ago mus"t now be dismissed as embodying superstitions of the middle ages To attempt to prove that the stringing effect of the shot is a factor which the practical sportsman must bear in mind is on a par with the assumption that pentration can be judged by exam- ining the characteristics of the splash the pellet makes on the target. The only test which comes t( us from the days preceeding modern electrical dl velopments is that of the whitewashed plate. Evel this is of secondary importance to the proper gaug- ing of the interior of the barrel. To correct the shoot- ing of a gun without regard to the shape of t chamber and cone is blind groping in the dark. Pattern tests are certainly of very great use in d< terminging the selection of charges and the choice of a suitable size of shot. At a time when the gun maker controls his output with standard gauges, and the powder manufacturer is clear as to the charactei istics that must be imparted to the explosive, finally, when sportsmen appreciate the important of a sound system of loading, the most satisfacto: test of the joint behavior of a gun and shell game. A distinct impression remains after each day's sport as to whether or not one's individual contri- bution to the bag has been in proportion to the skill exercised, and it is by the guidance so derived that the sportsman will be able to select from the recog- nized charges available the particular combination of powder and shot that best suits his own particular gun and style of shooting. D 1 . : i L :-.■- THE PLAINSMAN'S SIXTH SENSE. "Did you ever hear of the plainsman's sixth sense?'' asked W D. King, Jr., who was one of a little group of sportsmen in Clabrough, Golcher & Co.'s sporting goods store on Market street the other day. "It is a thing that has often puzzled me in knocking about among the ranchmen of Montana. "I myself have seen this sixth sense manifest itself under extraordinary conditions and have known of lots of instances in which it operated with almost the precision of a special providence. And yet, although I've done my best to get it out of the ranchmen, I never found one who could explain it. "There was the time, for instance, when Prairie Dog Jenkins detected a ranch eight miles away by the of the sixth sense. Prairie Dog was an old nter and one of the best cowmen in Montana. In the ^summer of 1890 he and Dynamite Dick went up FaiforT creek together, a country that Dynamite Di had not been in for ten years, and Prairie Dog nevei "They were riding along eight or nine miles from Witherby's ranch one day about 2 o'clock when Prai- rie Dog said to Dick. "'Pretty near a ranch, aren't we?' " 'No,' said Dick, for Witherby had taken up his ranch since Dick had been in the country. " 'Must be,' returned Prairie Dog. T smell '\ making coffee. It's that way,' he went on, pointing a certain direction. "And, Prairie Dog leading and Dick following, they rode straight as a string till they rode into Witherby's back yard. "As they sat around the table eating the chuck t hoys got for them, Dynamite Dick, thinking to funny, told how Prairie Dog had smelled their coffi eight miles away. There was no other ranch near than forty miles in those days. Then one of t fellows asked: "'What time was it you smelled the coffee?' "'About 2,' said Prairie Dog. "The boys looked at each other, and then they looked at Prairie Dog. Then: " 'Two of the hoys got in late,' they said, 'so we made a fire and were making fresh coffee for them. And it was just about 2 o'clock' "Now, in that case," continued King, "you might say the sixth sense was nothing but an extraordinarily sensitive nose. But it was something more spiritual than a mere nose that guided 'Frisco Frank when he and Ned Carruth lost their way to the bull camp, "One summer all the bulls from the country jui south of Terry were gathered in a big pasture on th Yellowstone. In the fall, when the other cattlern took their bulls out of camp, F^ank and Ned were not on hand for some reason, so they decided they would go together. "It was about thirty miles to the bull camp, through an unfamiliar country, and what with starting rather late and one, thing and another the men lost heir bearings. As it was getting along toward evening they thought they'd better strike a place for the night and go on next day. "They had heard that a sheep man had a tent out and a man herding sheep, and though neither had the ghost of an idea where to find it, they decided to spend the night there. So they stopped and studied the landscape. " 'Well, you're the doctor,' said Ned. 'Which way shall we go?' "Frisco Frank rode up on a butte and took a squint December 16, iao5] (Bits greener mtfc ^poviauuui 9 ■ round the horizon, and then pointed without hesita- tion. " 'Let's go that way,' he said. "And after they had ridden about ten miles and come over a little hill right down below them in a draw was a tent. They were within sixty feet of it 1 before they saw it at all. They had hit on the only human habitation in all that country." Before King had concluded his narrative, "Pete TVilson" joined the group and in his usual generous I style insisted on an immediate adjournment for "ir- rigation" of the inner man. After the story teller was through the listeners accepted Pete's invitation. Whilst King was sipping his Napa soda, he counted I heads and noticed that the crowd had increased from i rive to ten. This prompted him to remark: "Well, I guess some of the frequenters of Sports- I men's Row could 'put it on' the plainsmen for sixtli sense if they only had half a chance." A DESERT BILL OF FARE. A party of Los Angeles sportsmen were on a duck hunting trip to the Colorado delta region recently. Ducks and shore birds were so plentiful that the sportsmen soon had a satiety. On the return a de- tour was made to a good quail shooting district, where the trio of hunters found birds fairly numerous and sport correspondingly good— that is, when they could get the birds in a patch free from cactus. One of the party was of an observing and investi- gating turn of mind— prompted by a brief visit to an Indian rancheria. The results of inquiry, as to the Indian method of supplying the larder and some of the things eaten evolved the following story for the Los Angeles Times. About some of the Indian villages are to be seen small patches of maize or a few tiny melon patches, but these cultivated areas are of little account as compared with the number of persons to be fed. These, too, are exceptions rather than the rule, a majority of the towns having no such cultivated fields. In the various parts of the arid region which shel- ters so great a portion of our barbarian population is found a tree remarkable for certain properties. The botanical name of this plant is Prosopis juliflora. It is popularly known as the algaroba, or honey mes- quite This tree thrives with little moisture, grows, with thick, bushy top, to a height of twenty to forty feet affords shelter from the wind and sun, and, best of all in the sight of the hungry natives, it yields abundant crops of fruit known as mesquite beans. The slim green pods hang in clusters from the tips of the boughs, often bending the branches nearly to breaking, so abundant do they grow. The pods, which are six or seven inches long, are pulpy, juicy, fairly palatable and nourishing. These beans are gathered, dried and stored in the peculiar granaries of the Indians— huge baskets hold- ing several bushels each— and are pulverized when wanted for food in wooden or stone mortars, and the meal thus formed is soaked in water and eaten w.th- out further preparation or it is baked into a sort of unleavened bread It is the principal and favorite food of several tribes. The screw bean is another food product, less plen- tiful but even more highly prized because of its sug- ary qualities. This fruit is often eaten as plucked from the tree. It ripens the latter part of June or July, a little later than the mesquite bean. In some of the mountain sections the Prunus an- dersonii, or chamish, is found in abundance. The fits of this fruit are pounded in mortars, and the meal is then eaten. There are many varieties of the cactus fruit which are utilized for food, the fruit of the Opuntia tuna or prickly pear being a notable ex- ample. The dead loco weed, the pest of the cattlemen, is a favorite with the Indians, for the yellow pods of the plant when pulverized serve as spice to render some of the otherwise insipid dishes palatable. The roots of the cancer root are roasted over live coals, and when young, succulent and nourishing are : prime favorites with the red epicureans. Flowers of the yucca and agave are boiled, dried and preserved to be eaten as occasion requires. The young shoots or crowns of these plants are also roasted and eaten Seeds of the Artemisia tridentata >r wormwood and the Ariplex lentifurm.s are pu.- erized and eaten. Pine nuts form a very important tern of food with many of the tribes in the wooded ection of the country, and acorns furnish other tribes ith a large part of their living. There are other herbs which are utilized by the idians as food. Indeed, there are few plants which •e not capable of being rendered edible in some manner. There are, however, other things besides plants which are made to satisfy the pangs of hunger. In the animal kingdom are a number of vanties o, creatures, not classed in the game list of the white man, which minister to the appetites and needs of the red man. There are in the southwest, particularly in Cali- fornia, bodies of bitter, poisonous waters known as boracic lakes. Owen's lake, twenty miles long, is of this class. It is a veritable Dead sea, and, like the sea of that name and its counterpart, the Great Salt lake of Utah, its heavy, brackish waters do not support fish or marine life. At certain seasons of the year the waters of these boracic lakes abound in white grubs known to the Indians of that region as "koochabee." These grubs are the larvae of a two winged fly, the Ephydra cali- , fornica. So plentiful are these grubs in their season ! they line the shores of the lake to a depth of several inches, where the waves cast them up from their watery incubator. The Indians at this season of the year camp upon the shores of the lake, gather this peculiar harvest and dry it in the sun. Later the grubs are ground in stone mortars into fine powder, and from this insect meal they bake a bread which is highly prized. There are a number of other insects — lizards, rep- tiles and the like — which are used as food by different tribes. The chuckawalla, a lizard somewhat resem- bling the Gila monster, is a common article of food with some of the tribes north of the line. It may not be the most inviting of foods — some of the insect and reptilian foods are far from palatable — but tiie desert Indian is not inclined to quarrel with anything which stops the gnawing beneath his belt, and he evidently believes that "not that which goeth into the mouth defileth the man." The lizards, mostly of the chuckawalla variety, are big. fat, lazy fellows, seemingly incapable of action when seen asleep, or sunning themselves, on a flat- topped rock. Try to hit one with a stick for instance: all you will see will be a gray-black streak vanishing into a crack in the rock. They are from one to two feet in length, over half of which is tail — thick, round, fat tail, and this is the principal part that is eaten. The flesh, when cooked, is as white as that of the tenderest young chicken, and, so it is claimed, of a much better flavor — being likened to a mixture ~be- tween fish and young tree squirrel by one wrho has sampled it. The Piutes enclose these lizards, head, tail, entrails and all, in a fairly thick coating of clay and roast them in pits in the ground. This dish has a flavor of its own that few white mei. have the te- merity to dally with. THE MONGOOSE. Sportsmen of the Hawaiian Islands have recently been much concerned over the ravages of the mon- goose, which animal is a menace to the existence of feathered game on several of the islands. Two varieties of pheasants, the Mongolian and the Japanese blue pheasant, promised to become very plentiful on Miolokai. California Valley quail throve well in Oahu and the beautiful mountain quail, there called royal quail, found a congenial habitat on Molo- kai Island. Wild turkeys offered good sport to hunt- ers who visit the Elwa and Walonae ranges on Oahu. Chinese pigeons, called doves, thrive on nearly all of the islands. All of the above varieties were success- fully introduced in the islands, but the danger of final extermination by the mongoose is steadily growing. The two native varieties of game birds, the Ha- waiian wild goose and the Hawaiian teal duck, num- ber but a few hundred, in isolated sections, where once they were plentiful, having been nearly cleaned out by the mongoose. This obnoxious little beast, luckily, has up to the present time been confined to certain localities and the utmost precaution is taken to prevent its presence in all of the islands of the group. The following description of the animal, as it is found in its native habitat, is by an Indian naturalist: "Probably greater interest, curosity and speculation centers round the mongoose, his habits and ways, than any other of the smaller four-footed denizens of the wild jungles of the East. •Intense interest, flavored by much human sym- pathy for the plucky little creature, is aroused by the deadly and irreconcilable hatred he bears to all and every species of the snake tribe which no mat- ter, where or when met w-ith, whether larger or small, deadly or harmless, he fearlessly attacks, exhibiting at the mere sight of the reptile a violent and uncontroll- able anger evinced by every hair on his body standing out rigid and stiff from the skin, by a sharp hissing whistling call — the challenge to mortal combat. "Our curiosity is keenly aroused by the wonderful immunity enjoyed by the mongoose frcm the deadly fangs, and still more deadly poisons of the most venomous species of snake, against whom he wages a ceaseles racial war; and peculation is rife as to the causes of this immunity. "The native of India relates how the stricken mon- goose after killing his enemy, and having devoured its brain, evidently regarded in the light of a delicacy not to be forgone under anw circumstance, hurries off to the depths of the jungles in search of some special herb, known to the mongoose alone, which acts as an immediate antidote against the most deadly of poisons. "The ordinary observer ascribes the safety of the mongoose to his extraordinary agility and lightning- like movements, but as the snake stiikes with terri- ble rapirity and certainty, it is difficult to believe that the mongoose should escape every time, and yet there is no case on record of a mongcose having been bested in a single fight, and having paid the penalty of death. "A theory was advanced that inncculation of snake virus for many generations of the mongoose family had rendered them immune to its deadly effect; but this has been proved time and again to be a fallacy, as a tame mongoose purposely bitten by a deadly snake has died within a short time, exhibiting all the usual symptoms resulting from snake poison. The mongoose thus bitten has alo been let looe in a cir- cumscribed piece of wild jungle and has been found dead, thus refuting the native idea of the existence of an herb antidote — though the possibility of the herb not existing in the circumscribed piece of jungle weakens the profo. The only theory put forward that seems to hold water, is that the stiff bristling hairs of the angry mongoose forms his natural protection. "The long bristly hairs that cover the body of the mongoose, from his neck to the tip of bis tail, as dis- tinct from the soft fine under fur with which his body, head and feet are - I, vary from two to three inches in length, and brittle up and stand out rigid from the body the moment a snake is sighted and remain rigid and bristling throughout the fight, giving him the appearance of an animated chevaux- de-frise. •The moment the sensitive palate of the striking snake is touched by the points of the bristles, the snake's mouth closes instinctively and intantaneously with the object of drawing the poison fangs seated In the upper palate deeply into the object struck at. The consequent pressure on the poison bag ejects the poi- son into th bristles, and thus the poison never reaches the blood by actual penetration of the skin. "That the mongoose evinces no rear of the snake has been proved times without number, but on the other hand the deadly fear in which the snake lives of the mongoose is an equally well established fact. Should the snake first sight his race enemy he w-ill use every device to avoid detection, but should he be sighted, he will always try to escape by flight if possible, and will never accept battle unless driven to the last extremity. "The tactics of the fight and the results are invaria- bly the same. The mongoose with bristling hair, boldly attacks, darting about with an agility wonder- ful to behold. The snake with head erect and well thrown back, faces his opponent, rapidly striking at him whenever he considers him within reach, hissing furiously the while. Watching his opportunity with a spring the mongoose seizes him by the neck just below the back of the head, one crunch of his sharp needle-like teeth, a few spasmodic convulsions on the part of the snake — and the battle is over. "A hairy animal of the ferret type, but three or four times as big. varying from silver grey to russet brown in color, in the wild state the mongoose may be seen sitting in the half darkened entrance to his den or hole, listening intently before venturing out upon the w^orld; and then cautiously proceeding out takes cover at once, moving noiselessly along hedgerows, banks and dried up watercourses in search of his enemy or his food. Generally well hidden from sight, he rarely faces the open, but is ever keen and alert, ready to spring upon his unwary prey, or to rush off silently and rapidly to the shelter of his den. ' Small birds, ground game, poultry, rats, mice and lizards form his staple food, and he has been known to eat carrion, but of the snake the only part he eats is the brain. ''The marvellous racial enmity of the mongoose to the snake and the deadly warfare waged between them has been exmplifid in a striking way in the West Indies. "There on some of the islands snakes increased so fast as to become a source of danger to human life. The mongoose was largely imported and let loose upon- the islands with astounding results. The snake in the islands experimented upon is almost extinct, but the mongoose has increased and multiplied to such an extent as almost to equal the rabbit scourge of Aus- tralia, but in addition to clearing the place of snakes, the mongoose has killed off all the ground game of the islands, especially partridges, which at one time were numerous, and afforded good sport to the guns. "In India the partridge has not suffered much dam- age from the mongoose, but in India the partridge roosts in trees and bushes, and not on the ground — a habit that may have been formed for self-protection against the mongoose. "In captivity, if caught when quite young, the mon- goose becomes tractable, and makes a charming pet, being clean and noiseless in his ways. He becomes most attached to his master, if kindly treated, and will follow to heel like a dog, run up and down his master's person, perch on the shoulder, nibble at his ear, never actually biting, and in a thousand and one playful ways endear himself to his owner. 'Like the snake the mongoose is passionately fond of milk, and, cat-like, loves being rubbed down with a hard brush, purring the while, and being quite up- set when the operation ceases. •In tropical and snake infested countries, the mon- goose is quite a common pet, and is kept in many homes as a protection against them. He forages for himself entirely, roaming about the house and grounds at his own free will, but has usually some fixed hab- itat, generally a corner under some cupboard, or box, where he is safe from the reach of troublesome ter- riers— about the only animal he fears. "If fed regularly, he will turn up marvellously punc- tual for his saucer of milk or bit of fish, and if not served to the moment, lias been heard to swear most volubly until his wants are attended to. A nicer, cleaner and more charming pet it would be hard to find anywhere." EXTERNAL PARASITES OF THE DOG. Ordinary mange and follicular mange are the re- sult of the invasion of acari, which bear a general resemblance to cheese mites; in fact are called mange1 mites, and an ordinary observer looking at cheese mites and the several varieties of mange mites would at once affirm that they were all exactly alike. To the eye of the expert, however, they differ sufficiently in details of strut ture,. as length of leg, formation of the mouth, and habits of life to render a division of thi in into families perfectly easy. The most common mange mites are those which cling to the hair an I feed on the waste products of the integument, also causing considerable increase of those products by the irritation which they set up by the movement of their legs and the use of their pointed, beak-like mouths, which are so arranged that they may be inserted into the openings of the follicles in the search for food. These wandering mites are found in the greatest abundance on the back, breasts, and on the heads of the animals which they infest, and by the aid of the abundant secretion which they cause, chiefly from the sebaceous follicles, ^^'v are enabled to shelter themselv is under the accumu- lated masses, which resemble soft scabs These are so abundant in the sheep thai the disease which they excite is universally known as scab. In the dog the wandering mites (dermatodectes) are comparatively rare. The mange mite of the dog is the sarcoptes, 01 burrowing mite, which forms galleries beneath the ci 10 ©iue gvee&ev cmis gtpjortsroan [December 16. 1905 ........ : its powerful cutting jaws, w^ch Si sis^ overlooked or confound ,-»:«. there I. to be adde ^ , there are sever... - *„"f uadrupeds.

When these parasites are ( ;hfv may cause serious losses. In one instance which has been recorded m the London Fie d the death of a large number of lambs from what was looked upon as a mysterious ^ease proved to be perfectly simple. An inquiry revealed the cause of the fatality at once. The bod!es of the dead lam£ were found to be covered with ticks, which had ^ lv but surely bled the unfortunate animals to d eath "ll the structures were completely blanched and bloooless. If the cause of the mischief had been discovered earlier, as it must have been had two hree of the first victims been examined by a mary surgeon, the rest of the flock would as a matter of course, have been dipped in one of the manv preparations for dipping sheep, diluted to a heater extent than is necessary for adult animals and the ticks, instead of killing the lambs would themselves have been effectually destroyed. It is not at all probable that the dogs, however severely at- tacked bv ticks, would be damaged seriously, as the discovery of the presence of the parasites could not be long delayed, and the necessary treatment would be promptly applied. A weak solution of carbolic acid two per cent, would be sufficient to kill the para- sites, or perhaps more conveniently a washing with carbolic soap might be employed, and repeated if necessary. Another variety of acarus which has recently "been described is known as the Demodex folliculorum. The cause of red mange is likely to be allowed to remain undisturbed for some time, from the circumstance that it is hidden in the follicles of the skin, from which it is not easily dislodged. The disease which results from the invasion of the demo- de^ is of all forms of mange the most objectionable to the dog's owner, particularly in the case of the pet dog. which is constantly being nursed. It is well known that the Demodex folliculorum infests the hair follicles and sebaceous follicles of the human subject. and although the parasites in ordinary cases do not cause any inconvenience, the idea of the creature crawling from the skin of the dog to the skin of the dog's owner, the nose or some part of the face being the most likely point of attack, is not altogether pleas- ant, and the fact of the infested human being return- ing the compliment by transferring the acarus to the dog. as doubtless happens in many cases, can hardly be considered as a compensation. The most common and best known of skin parasites of the dog are lice and fleas About these pests there is no mystery, as there is no attempt at con- cealment, and the owner of the pet animal so infested, as all such pets are more or less, finds some occu- pation from time to time, to judge from appearances, not altogether repulsive, in hunting for the parasites and destroying them in a summary manner. The washings with carbolic or other soap to which the house dog is subjected keep these pests in check, but it may be mentioned in passing that the washing, to be effective, should be done, or at least superintended, by the owner. For years past specimens of hairs from flogs suffering from skin diseases have been sent etei inarians for examination, in most instances with the statement that the animal has been regu- washed with some specified soap. In a large proportion of the specimens the hairs have been found matted together with what may fairly be i ied filth, which it was necessary to get rid of be- fore the individual hairs could be seen. Washing should be . by combing while the coat is stili wet. as the bes Of clearing away adherent dirt and parasites at the same time. o DOINGS IN DOGDOM. A Classy Puppy. : owner of a handsome iy Jos.

Charles Reid Thorburn's recent purchase, the good young Bull Terrier Woodlawn Baron (Bloomsbury Baron-Newmarket Queen) won reserve winners at Pasadena this week. There is a number of good dogs in Southern California and W. Baron's win is in keeping with the possible career that was outlined for him by local fanciers. Ch. Meg Merrilies IE, whelped on November 23nd six strong puppies (four dogs) to A Joseph's Blooms- bury Baron. The litter is more than promising for several good ones and is getting on finely. One puppy was liked so well by Mr. Jack Bird, of Oakland, that he secured the youngster for $100. Mr. Thorburn is to be congratulated upon. his suc- cess in following up his fancy for the breed. Meg Merrilies. it will be remembered, became a great show favorite this year at several coast shows where she was handled, in the ring,, by Mrs. Thorburn (her owner, by the way) in so attractive a style as to frequently induce rounds of applause from spectators and rival exhibitors as well.

Sportsmen who fancy duck shooting have had plenty of sport the past two weeks. Local shooters have been successful in getting good bags in many sections. Most of the birds are in excellent condition. Bay shooting has hardly approached anything like what it will be when the weather becomes more unsettled and the rains begin in earnest. On the Suisun marshes the past week has prac- tically been a repetition of the general good luck gunners have had since the season opened. On some portions of the Alameda marshes there is a notable scarcity of birds where once they were very plentiful every winter. Conditions on the Empire Club preserve at Elkhorn slough are of an enviable nature. Last Sunday James P. Sweeney, shooting over pond No. 5, bagged a limit number of canvasbacks. Milton Pray repeated tne shoot in the afternoon. Pretty good pond — 100 "cans" for one day. Dr. Mertes, a new member, shot 40 "cans" and stated that had there been another gun on his pond he w~ould have easily filled out the limit and so would the other shooter. J. R. Hauer bagged the limit at pond 7: 47 of his birds were spooneys. The pond is now known as the Ben But:er pond. Tiring of shooting spooneys he left his blind and secured a nice string of snipe in the marsh nearby, after which he' filled out his penchant for variety by getting a number of quail within a short distance of the duck grounds. On Wednesday Dr. Alden shot a big string of canvasbacks — 35 of these were killed before noon. He sat out a stool of sixty decoys. The sport on the Empire preSei \ e iias ueen good ever since the season opened and promises to con- tinue. Other members have also got limits time and again. Pasadena Show.

Irish S' S i fed by a small .string of good oi The initial show of i Ci So Springs Kennel The bi-monthly meeting and dinner of the San Francisco Fly-Casting Club last Tuesday evening was well attended by members and invited guests. During the discussion of the business affairs of the club a report submitted through the Executive Com- mittee met with general favor and was practically adopted. The report covered the mooted question of securing for the club members a desirable location for a fish- ing preserve on a coast trout stream. The matter was discussed at considerable length. The outlook for a clubhouse and "home of its own" for the club, in the near future, is now pretty well assured. This purpose was originally promoted by the charter members of the club wdien it was organ- ized about ten years ago. For financing the project it was decided to raise the club dues to §1 00 a month and an intial assessment of §10 was levied. The grand collection of flies, tied by John S. Benn, ordered by the club some time ago, and which has been awarded gold medals at the recent St. Louis and Portland exhibitions, is in danger of losing its value as an artistic collection of lures, for it was decided to dispose of the collection by raffle. 500 tickets at $1.00 each, purchase of chances open to all anglers. Whether the collection will be broken up into lots or disposed of as a whole remains to be arranged. At all events the sentiment was to put the prize lures to practical use next season and devote the §500 in hard cash to be realized towards the preserve and clubhouse fund. Incidentally, we may mention that this collection will probably be the last effort in this line by the noted dy-tyer. John S Benn. more's the pity. Louis Titus. Frederick McGee, William A. McGee and Milton H. Cook were advanced from the waiting list to full membership by unanimous ballot. Edward Everett presided in the chair during the evening and Alex T. Vogelsang, in a happy vein, pre- sented on behalf of the club four trophies won by contestants at Stow Lake this season. C. Roland Kenniff (who was absent) won the cham- pionship long distance medal. E. A. Mocker received the first class leng distance gold medal. John Mars- den won the second class gold medal for long dis- tance Walter D. Mansfield won the Achille Roos trophy, a valuable field glass, for the three best . licacy for 1904-5. In this competition he was closely pressed by G. W. Lane and C. R. Kenniff. <:. W. Lane won the champion class gold medal in racy contests. Austin Sperry received the awarded for the best general improvement in all events. Each of the prize winners addressed the meeting in a few words on topics congenial to lers The other winners for the season were. Colonel G. C. Edwards, first class in delicacy; J. Marsden. sec- ond class in delicacy: T. C. Kierulff. lure-casting championship; C. R. Kenniff. accuracy championship: T. C. Kierulff. first .lass, and J. Marsden. second class iim y The medals for the foregoing events Reports from Rio Vista state that duck shooting in the tules along the river above that point never was better. Good shooting has been had on the various ponds and marshes north of the town. S. J. Clarridge made a bag of forty ducks on the Gates ponds and others from that place have nearly had the same success on the same ponds. Goose shooting has also been good on the ponds and on Ryer and Brannan Islands, as well as in the open fields close to town., Quite a number of honkers have been killed also. There is a lake, or rather a chain of three lakes, about a mile southwest of Ceres, near Modesto, that has developed from canal seepage, has grown up with tules and is proving a particularly good duck haunt. It is said, in fact, that "the ducks are there all the time." Some of the Ceres sportsmen have leased the shooting privileges on this chain of lakes— formerly a swale — and have organized a club The organization, is to be known as the Ceres Gun Club and consists,' of C. A. McAllister, Myron Warner, Vaughn Whit- more, Guy Whitmore, Roy Warner and Ed. Whitmore. Quail hunters in the vicinity of Madera find limit bags comparatively easy to shoot. Wild geese are now in Colusa and Glen counties "by the millions." A report from Sacramento states that on the pre- serves of the Canvasback Gun Club, north of the capital city, nine hunters on Sunday broke the record by obtaining limit bags of ducks. As a result of the day's shoot the sportsmen returned with 450 ducks of all varieties, and the distribution gladdened man^J of their friends. Those who participated in the outing were: F. E "Wright. W. H. Sherburne. William Kennedy. John Norton. Justice J. C. March, Georgn B. Stack. J. H. Donnelly, E. H. McKee and Fred Peck. No better evidence of the splendid supply of shoot- ing material in Southern California this season could be asked than the testimony of several ranchers from the Imperial country, given last week These gentle- men say the ducks, always plentiful around the lower Colorado, are swarming like blackbirds this winter. It would be no trouble at all for a good shot to kill 300 a day on the big lake below" Calexico were there any excuse for such slaughter, or any manner in which he could dispose of the birds. Sprigs, widgeon, spoonbills, mallards. teal,~gadwell. are all reported plentiful. On the shallow mud sloughs around Cal- exico an unusual number of gadwell have been seen feeding, and they are fully up to the traditions of the breed as regards fatness. The general' invitation to local sportsmen, given OS the Brawley ranchers recently was quite generally accepted, and many limit bags of birds have been shipped up to Los Angeles local dealers. It is said to lie a hard game on a man's morals, as the tempta- tion to break the limit is ever present, and in most alluring form. In some of the Brawley-Imperial country the mak- ing of a big bag is rather dufficult. There is so much water everywhere that the ducks are scattered, and one or two shots is all a man can get, the hunt- December 16 1905J ffiit* gvee&ev ana gtp4; KUS£ McKINNbY, that is out of a mare by Forrest Clay 1934 and is the dam of Almaden (2)2:22^, winner of Breeders Futurity and Occident Stake; KAGSY, that Is out of Babe by Ferdinand 1835, son of Strathmore.

San Francisco, Saturday, December 23, 1905 THE TEAR JUST CLOSING may not have been the most profitable one that all harness horse breed- ers have enjoyed, but after looking: it over carefully few will be able to find reasons sufficient to make them lose heart In the future. Well bred trotters and pacers of quality are in demand at good prices, and the mar- ket has a very firm condition. The big auctions in New York, Chicago, Lexington and other points have been very remarkable for the quality of horses of- fered rather than for the quality. We believe mort- horses have passed under the hammer this year than in any previous twelve months, yet prices have been sustained to the very last, and the demand is still strong. When eleven hundred horses can be sold at one sale for an average of over $400 each, there' is no reason to believe that the supply is anywhere near the demand for good ones. Racing in the eastern and middle states has been" excellent this year, in spite of several drawbacks. The time has averaged faster than ever and more new 2: 10 performers have ap- peared than any previous year has produced. Here in California the harness racing has been very lim- ited, but it has been high class, and clean. The trot- ting and pacing at Santa Rosa, Fresno, Sacramento and Los Angeles has been up to the best that is held anywhere in the world so far as close contests and .clean racing is concerned. California farmers, stock breeders and fruit growers have had a fairly pros- perous season, while mining* has enjoyed a boom ano. real estate sales were never so numerous, nor prices higher. Several new railroads are planning to enter our State, new factories are being established, and every citizen is looking forward with confidence to times of great prosperity for many years to come. The breeders of harness horses, those who are pro- ducing the best on up-to-date lines, will share in this prosperity beyond a doubt The future of California is most bright and there is no reason why there should be even one pessimist among California horse- men. With the wish that every reader of this jour- nal may enjoy the best in health and wealth that this glorious land affords, we extend to all the compli- ments of the season, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Tear. OWNS FINE RACING STABLE. PUBLICATION OF THE LISTS of new standard performers for 1905 is deferred until after the meeting at Phoenix, Arizona, which opens on Monday, De- cember 25th. So many California bred horses will take part in these races with a probability of lowering their records that the lists of new performers will necessarily be incomplete until the returns are in from Phoenix. There are six mares that divide the honor of having produced two trotters with records of 2:10 or better. They are: Beulah by Harold (dam of Beuzetta (4) 2:06% and Early Bird 2:10), Cascarilla 2:25^ by Shelby Chief (dam of Caspian 2:07% and Caracalla 2:10: Nell by Estill Eric (dam of Belle Vara 2:08% and Tom Axworthy (4) 2:08%); Lucy Homer by Ho- mer (dam of Authoress 2:09%, Lecco 2.09%; Cap- -rara by Daniel Lambert (dam of Dandy Jim 2:09% and John Mac 2:09%). and Emma T. 2:17% by Socra- tes (dam of Miss Adbell (3) 2:09% and Emma Brooks 2:09%) Of these, Beulah was the youngest mare to have two in 2:10, she being but 14 years old when her second trotter came into the select circle. Emma T. comes next, being IS years old. She, however, holds the honor of having the fastest record. Third on the list comes Caprara. who was 25 when she got her second 2:10 trotter. Cascarilla comes next, being 26 years old, and old Nell comes last, she being aged 2? years when her second trotter got in. Twelve or fourteen years ago W. A. Clark, now Senator from the State of Montana, and known as one of the wealthiest mining and railroad operators in the world, campaigned a string of horses on the Grand Circuit. He - owned the fast pacer Major Wonder 2:09%, Faust 2:18%, Conde 2:19% and other good money winners. Both Gil and Jack Curry drove for him at different times, and Mr. Jeffries, father of Charley Jeffries, also piloted winners on different occasions for the copper magnate. Senator Clark re- tired from the turf as an owner years ago, but his son, W. A. Clark Jr., is becoming one of the promi- nent owners whose horses are seen on the Grand Cir- cuit. Mr. Clark has been an ardent lover of the light harness horse for years, is an excellent amateur driver and has demonstrated the fact that he is an ex- cellent judge of a horse by his purchases. He has raced through the Colorado and Montana circuits for several years past, and in 1904 concluded that he would enjoy seeing his horses starting for the big prizes on the Grand Circuit. He saw Chas. Marvin's great colt Bon Voyage by Expedition and bought him for $10,000 as a two year old. The colt won the two year old trotting divisions of the Horse Review and Kentucky futurities, closing the season with a record of 2:15, the best for a two year old trotter in 1904. He was wintered in California and is at the close of 1905 the fastest three year old trotting colt of the year with a record of 2:12%. The winnings of Bon Voyage in' 1904 were $5,450, and this year he won ?11,075. He is beyond question one of the grandest looking three year olds living, as well as one of the best bred ones. His sire is Expedi- tion 2:15% by Electioneer, his dam the great brood mare Bon Mot, dam also of Endow 2:14% and Be- queath 2:20%. Ted Hayes, the well known trainer and reinsman who was for several years with Bitter Root Farm, campaigned Mr. Clark's horses in 1904, and went east with them this year, but was compelled to give MR. W. A. CLARK JR. up training on account of illness, and the horses were raced thereafter by J. O. Gerrity with excellent suc- cess. The racing string of Mr. Clark is now at Los Angeles track in charge of Mr. Gerrity, and com- prises Bon Voyage 2:12%, Marone 2.13%, a very' high class trotter; Sally Dunn, two year old record 2:28. trial this year 2:15; Electric Maiden, a mare from whom great things are expected, and the fast pacing mare Miss Georgie 2:10%, by McKinney out of a Nutwood Wilkes mare Miss Georgie was timed sep- arately in 2:06^2 this year, but was not right during the early part of the season. Mr. Clark has quite a number of brood mares, all of which are now quartered at Pleasanton in charge of Ted Hayes. Among them are the following: Hazel Wilkes by Guy Wilkes, Loucii May by Oakland Baron. She by Abbotsford, Ruth Mary by Directum, Bay Leaf by Telephone, Patty D. by Altimas. Biddy by Re- Election, Douschka by Western, Reina Del Diablo by Diablo, Christobel by Chas. Derby, Bon Mot by Erin. Mr. Clark also owns the stallion Highland, that is a very high class horse and a fast trotter. He is by Expresso, own brother to the great mare Expressive, three year old record 2:121,2, and" out of the great brood mare Alpha 2:23'2 by Alcantara. Highland will be bred to some of these choice mares and will make a public season at the Pleas- anton track He gives promise of being a great sire. The only one of his get at the present time is a chest- nut filly out of Reina Del Diablo. She is a handsome little thing and was seven months old on the 21st of this month. She has only been in harness five times and the fifth time she was hooked up she showed Mr. Hayes an eighth in 25 seconds. As before stated, this is Highland's only foal and if she is a sample of what he is going to get he will bo a wonderful sire. Among the others in Mr. Hayes' string is a two year old by McKinney, dam Tuna 2:12'-:. that showed a half in 36 seconds, and a black two year old by McKinney, dam She. that can step better than a 40 gait; a yearling chestnut filly by Nutwood Wilkes, dam Patty D. 2:12%. that has paced quarters better than 3S, and a yearling bay filly by Nutwood Wilkes out of She, that can easily show close to a 40 gait. Kinney Wilkes, a young stallion coming five vears old, by McKinney out of that great race mare Hazel Wilkes 2.11% by Guy Wilkes, is another young stal- lion that Mr. Clark will use in the stud some and probably race. All of Mr. Clark's breeding interests are at the present time in charge of Mr. Hayes at Pleasanton. It is probable that Mr. Clark will, as soon as he finds a place to suit him, purchase a place where he will establish a breeding farm in California. In all probability Bon Voyage, after making a short season at Los Angeles, will finish the season at Pleasanton, where he will be bred to Mr. Clark's choice mares and be allowed to make a limited pub- lic season. The advent of such men as Mr. Clark into the breeding of trotters cannot help but be of benefit to the State. He has the means to buy, and the in- clination to breed none but the best, and every lover of the harness horse will wish him nothing but suc- cess and good luck in his venture. o MATINEE RACING AT PHOENIX. I enclose herewith score card for our matinee given yesterday, on the occasion of opening our new fair grounds and racing plant to the public This was our first matinee of the season, and it was a moat enjoyable affair — in fact, I do not think a more en- joyable, or a more thoroughly appreciated matinee was ever given anywhere. The weather was perfect, and something over 3,000 people attended, and all were very enthusiastic over the fast time and close finishes made in almost every heat. There was no hitch of any kind in the program, and our manage- ment was the recipient of many nice compliments on the character of the matinee, and the great results obtained in the building of such a fine plant and such excellent tracks in such a short time. That the track is pretty fast was evidenced by the ease with which Hazel Patch and Custer paced the last half of the first heat in the third race in 1:02^, last quarter in 30% seconds. Mr. Sherman told me that if the horse and conditions continue good till race day, he thinks he can reduce Hazel's mark of 2.02% here. He says ours is unquestionably the best and fastest new track he ever saw, and he be- lieves it the equal of any in the world. He says, further, that he considers out general plant the equal of any in the country; and the other trainers here all agree with him in both these statements. So we feel well satisfied that the result of our free-for-all pace will be to set our track record pretty low at our first meeting. The visiting ' trainers say the only thing they see wrong about our climate is the fact it is so fine they don't see how they can resist the temptation to train their horses too much. One thing that seemed to attract as much favorable comment from spectators as any other, was the neat appearance of the grooms, who all wore white coats and caps furnished by the Association The general comment which this feature brought out would seem to indicate that the general public don't enjoy the spectacle of a horse walking past the stand covered with an expensive blanket, while his groom too often is covered with only a dirty undershirt and pair of trousers without any suspenders. Commissioner Packard goes to Los Angeles tonight to arrange for rounding up the boys and looking after transportation matters for them, and we expect sev- eral carloads of horses from there next week.

Ever since Zombro 2:11 came out as a three year old and and down ihe Pacific Coast, meeting ir olds in the country and bearing % forts ts that year in better than something: no other three year old trotter ever accomplished before or since, he has been a leader. in the stud, his first few years of stud duty short and limited, as he was in training and : the lime, but he began siring speed from ■st and was not only the first producing son of McKinney, but has sired more standard performers than all the other sons of that great horse combined, and has e the fastest. Besides being a rec- as a race horse and sire, Zombro is a great show he - has won more first prizes than any stallion in California. He won first premium at the Horse Show in San Francisco in 1SS5 in the three year old class. He won first premium at the Cali- S Fair in 1900 and 1903, and at the Oregon other filly, Helen Dare, that has a trial of 2:15, last half in 1:05. She is owned by Mr. Beckers, owner of her sire. Zombro is the leading money winning sire of the Coast this year. His daughter Zephyr won over $8000 on the Grand Circuit, although very lame all season, and then sold for $1600, although veterinarians said she would probably never race again. Trainer Ruth- erford, who raced Helen Norte 2:09 on the Grand Circuit, said he saw Zephyr step the last thre'e quar- ters of a heat in 1:32, and the last half in 1:00%. She made two breaks going round the first turn, and then sire. Zombro is now located at a splendid new home which his owner, Geo. T. Beckers, has built for him Mr. Beckers bred this great horse and gave him his first lessons, but that is another story and an inter- esting one, the relation of which must be deferred to another time. Owners of mares who are desirous of breeding to the best should correspond with Mr. Beckers. His address is 4645 Agricultural avenue, Los Angeles. Jackson's Napa Soda does not tangle the feet. ZOMBRO 2:11 BY McKINNEY 2:11>4 Siate Fair in 1901, and 1902. He won the gold medal for best standard bred stallion with five of his get at Sacramento in 1903. At the Pasadena Horse Show last April he was awarded first prize and a $75 loving cup for the best standard bred stallion At the Lewis and Clark Exposition at Portland, where a great horse show was held this year, Zombro won the first prize, the champion prize and the grand champion prize, with six high class stallions to beat. Zombro has but 76 foals that are four years old or over, and out of these but forty have been worked. Fifteen of them have stepped miles in 2:15 or better, and twenty-two have trotted or paced in 2:20 or bet- ter. Over one-haif of those worked have shown 2.20 or better. This is a great showing for a young sire that has so few colts. There were ten foals by Zom- bro in 1S97, eleven in 1S9S, thirteen in 1S99, thirty-two in 1900, and only ten in 1901. Every one of these has GENERAL J. B. FRISBIE, A HANDSOME SON OF McKLNNEY trotted the last half in one minute and half a sec- ond, and then came very near beating Sadie Mac for the heat, Stimson going to the bat to win. Charley T. 2:13%, a five year old by Zombro, was the biggest money winner on the California circuit this year that started in purse races. Briquette, a five year old daughter of Zombro, showed a mile in 2:13% and sold for $5000. The get of Zombro have probably sold for more money on the average during the past few years than the get of any other sire. Zombro's list of standard performers now number eleven, and is as follows: Zephyr 2.07%, timed sepa- . rately in a race in 2:06%; Charley T. 2:13%, trial 2:10%; Italia 2:14%, over half mile track, trial 2:0S%, Bellemont, three years old, record 2:15%, trial 2:11%: Zomboyette 2:1S, trial 2:14%; Zenobia 2.19, trial half in 1:05%; Tee Dee Cee 2:19%, trial 2:13%; Lady Zcmbro 2:24, trial 2:10; Lord Kitchener 2:24%, trial ONE OF THE VERY BEST. ZEPHYR 2:07m, BY ZOMBRO. WON OYER $8,000 THIS SEASON ON THE GRAND CIRCUIT good looks and is n fine driver. No horse over sired colts with more Intelligence or that made letter road- ses. Now as to his two and three year olds, they all show speed. There are a dozen two year olds that have shown quarl seconds, and the three year olds are showing speed like old Look at Bellemont 2:15%, the three yi Ally that holds the coast trotting record of her age trotted a trial mile last month in .ml sold at auction for $2500- There is an- 2:19%; Zealous 2:26%, trial 2.20; Nina Bonita 2:27. Those that have no records but have shown trials better than 2:20 are Bessie Barnes 2:07%. Colonel Green 2:10%, Briquette 2:13, Clara B. 2:14, Julia M. Helen Dare 2:15. Mayo 2:15, Mabel TV. 2.1S%, Zombretta 2:15. Edmond S. 2:15. Era 2:16, Suomi 2:16, Zomalta 2:16%, Oosola 2:17, Early Bird 2:18 and Ger- aldine 2.19. All the above trials are well authenticated and they certainly make a wonderful showing for Zombro as a As handsomely and perfectly proportioned as any trotting bred horse on the Pacific Coast is the young stallion Gen. J. B. Frisbie, bred and owned by Mr. Tho. . Smith of Vallejo. a gentleman who has been identified with the horse breeding interests of Cali- fornia for many years, and whose efforts have always been to produce horses that have size, courage, en- durance and kind disposition. Mr. Smith has not been what one would call an extensive breeder, as quality instead of quantity has been his motto, but the Tear Books show that he has bred many winners and trot- ters with low records. Being a progressive breeder it is not strange that the fine, young black stallion which he has placed at the head of his stud should be the handsomest and most promising of any he has heretofore bred. A glance at his likeness, which ap- pears herewith will show what a grandly proportioned, smoothly turned, stylish individual he is, and his looks are backed up by the very best blood lines, he being a full brother to Tom Smith 2:13%. His sire is Mc- Kinney 2:11% sire of no less than forty in the 2:15 list, and his dam is the great brood mare, Daisy S., dam of Tom Smith 2:13%, Gen. Vallejo 2:20%, Little Mac (3) 2:27 and Sweet Rosie 2:28%. Daisy S. is a daughter of McDonald Chief 35S3, that sired five stan- dard performers, among them that w-ell known trot- ters. Columbus S. 2:17, and has a producing son and three producing daughters. McDonald Chief was by that stout bred horse Clark Chief 59 and out of a mare by thoroughbred Bethune. The second dam of Gen. J. B. Frisbie is another great brood mare, Fanny Rose by Ethan Allen Jr. 2903, son of the old champion Ethan Allen and a mare by Hambletonian 2. Fanny Rose produced George "Washington 2:16%, Columbus S. 2.17 and Solano Chief 2:29%. The third dam of Gen. Frisbie is Jenny land, a mare known to be nearly thoroughbred but whose pedigree was lost. Her dam was imported to this State from Kentucky before the war, and was purchased there for a race mare. She was bred to a thoioughbred stallion before starting on the trip and foaled a filly after reaching California. She became the property of a negro who forgot or lost all trace of her pedigree, but the filly was trained and raced here and won several good races, among others defeating when a two-year-old in a match race a filly belonging to the late Nathan Coombs of Napa. Jenny Lind produced the pacer Prince Allen 2:27, one of the fastest pacers of early harness racing here in California. Gen. J. B. Frisbie is standard and registered. He will make the season of 1906 at the stable of his owner. Thos. Smith, at Vallejo, and will be limited to a few approved mares at §25 -for the season. Good pasturage for mares can be furnished at S3 per month. This young horse is a fast trotter, as the public will find out when he is' raced. The opportunity to breed mares to a son of the great McKinney whose first, second and third .darns were all producers, and two of them in the Great Blood Mare Table, is seldom offered at the figure fixed for the fee of this horse by his owner, and when the individuality and speed of the stallion are taken into consideration it is one that surely will be taken advantage of early, and Mr. Smith will undoubtedly be compelled to close his books soon. In hot weather there is no drink like Jackson's Napa Soda — plain or in a lemonade. DECEMBER 23, 19t'5, QLXxe gtee&ev ano gpovtzman 9 A ROYALLY BRED TWO=YEAR=OLD. . Few men that have devoted a part of their time to [;he theoretical study of breeding the trotting horse ,knd at the same time had a deep practical knowledge of the business, ever met with greater success, con- sidering the number of horses bred, than the late Hon. W. B. Greene. Judge of the Superior Court of Alameda county, whose death a few months ago ended •:he earthly career of one of California's most honored iand respected citizens. Judge Greene was a lover of trotting horses and bred them for the pleasure it af- ■tforded him as a relaxation from the arduous duties bf the bench, to which he actually devoted too much tf his time. The writer well remembers a conversa- tion held in 1902 with Judge Greene, in which he re- marked: "I intend sending my filly Diavolo by Diablo 2:09% to Zombro this year, as I believe a foal |from that mating will trot fast, and if a colt prove an I Excellent sire." When the foal arrived it was a colt, fvhich is now two years old and gives every promise bf fulfilling the expectation of his lamented breeder. I (The colt is now owned by Mr. W. J. Dingee, the well vnown capitalist of this city, who was a warm per- i honal friend of Judge Greene, and interested with the Matter in the breeding of trotters. The colt has been Lhamed Edward McGary and, as the picture shows, is fli very handsomely proportioned trotter. The repu- tation of his sire. Zombro 2.11, is established, both as Li race horse and a sire. Diavolo is a young and un- tried filly, but has great natural speed. Her sire, liiiablo 2:09%, is one of California's great speed sires Und one of the best bred horses living. The second lam of this colt is Billy Langtry, a great brood mare VIRGINIA DILLON BY SIDNEY DILLON CALIFORNIA'S FAMOUS HAY. EDWARD McGARY BY ZOMBRO 2:11 =,y Nephew 1220, son of Hambrino and Trotting Sister by Abdallah 15, third dam Miss Trahern by Gen. Mc- Clellan 143. fourth dam Belle Mahone by Norfolk son of Lexington, fifth dam Maid of Oaks by Jack Haw- kins, son of Boston. Lilly Langtry's breeding is as rich in producing blood as can be found in the record- ed pedigree of any horse in the stud books. She has produced five standard performers and her daughter Diavolo is destined to be as great in the brood mare line as the illustrious mother. Ed. McGary is a typi- cal Zombro. He has been nicely broken by Mr. K. O'Grady of San Mateo, one of the best colt breakers in this country, and on the first of the new year will be sent to that great driver of champions, Budd Doble, who expects him to be one of the star pupils of his school at the San Jose track. As the colt Is entered in $40 000 worth of stakes much interest will be taken in his development and progress by others than his owner. At Mr. Dingee's home, near Redwood City, which, by the way. is one of the most beautiful country seats on the whole Pacific Slope, he has collected a small band of brood mares, eight or ten in all. and will enjoy seeing them raise foals that w-ill be ex- pected to develop speed when they are sent to the trainer's hands. There is now at Dingee Park, as this1 beautiful home is called, a filly by Sidney Dillon out of the good race mare Flora M. 2:16 by Richards Elector that bears the pretty name of Virginia Dillon. She is, as her picture shows, about as perfect a yearling as-could be pictured in one's mind's eye and great things are expected of her. Hay production in California is entirely different rem that in almost every other State. In the east here are but few kinds of hay, the principal staple .rticlc being timothy, and it is much the same in all ections and can be graded, as there is a uniformity ^bout it wherever you find it. In California, however, one farmer may raise wheat lay, his neighbor red oat hay, another barley or larl'ey and oat mixed, or wheat and oat mixed, while itill another will have volunteer wild oat hay. Then me will have a first class article and his neighbor an nferior article, location and climatic conditions hav- ng much to do with the production of good hay. The man whose product brings the fancy price is -enerally the one who makes a close study of it, 'vatches results and year after year improves on his nethods. In California there is practically no danger if rain spoiling the hay, excepting volunteer wild oat ly, which is cut so early that it sometimes gets a iwer, but wheat, wheat and oat, red oat, barley or ■ley and oat are generally safe. The methods generally followed in the larger and lost successful hay districts are to cut the hay tickly, irrespective of kind, running from two to a If dozen mowing machines if necessary. In a few urs follow with rake, and after curing a little in le winrow, put it into shock. Then in fifteen or .renty days stack it, and bale any time after it has >een in stack thirty days One of the great essentials is to get a bright green •olor Manv of our most successful haymakers cut vhen the straw is right, irrespective of the condition ,t the grain in the head. Very frequently there is no train at all in the head, but the straw is one bright, •ispy, uniform green in color, very sweet, and stock it every particle of it and do well. At one time it was considered here in California .at hay was not first class without grain m the head. ,nd everything else was sacrificed to attain that re- .ult This was particularly so with growers of wheat .nd red oat hay, but it is not so now. Color is the le great quality desired to get a good selling article, id properly colored and cured hay commands the ■gest price. The two great hay producing sections of California •e the Livermore Valley and the Hollister section, both these locations climatic conditions are most rarable The country about Stockton is also coming the front as a large producer, but Hollister is the rgest shipping point in the State, and this section ■oduces one-fifth of the State's supply. It has the rgest hay warehouses in the world, the plant cover- r 37 V- acres The four warehouses of this plant juld extend over a quarter of a mile if placed end end, and they hold 16.500 tons. Hollister station ips an average of 2700 carloads of hay annually, une years even more. The eastern trade is supplied principally from the ■ivermore and Hollister districts. This is a growing emand and was created in a very simple way. Owing to the mild winters in California many eastern racing stables winter their horses here, and at first brought their fancy timothy hay with them. But in training their horses on the same tracks where our California trainers were feeding California hay it soon became very evident that our horses had more spirit, more nia, order large quantities of Hollister hay and the demand is increasing annually. R. P. LATHROP. The lot of Chinese horses and mules is not a happy one. The Chinese cart is a peculiar affair, and appears to be of much the same type as in ancient days. The ordinary passenger cart is dragged by one animal in the towns and by two in the country. The country cart employed for hauling produce, and also for domestic purposes by the great bulk of population, is a machine of phenomenal weight. The wheel of one of them was found to weigh 177 pounds, and the axle fifty-seven pounds in addition, giving a total of 411 pounds for the wheels alone. The shafts are stout, as they need to be, and if the cart upsets, a by no means infrequent occurrence, they pin the shaft animal to the ground. To these farm carts, mules, horses, cows and donkeys are hitched by means of ropes fastened to the axles, and to make these beasts pull together is a task to which no Occidental would aspire. When the British troops marched on Pekin in 1860 these Chinese carters deserted, and the men could do nothing with the teams. — Ex. "Wayne King 2:09% by Atlantic King is racing in England under the name of Buster Brown. Jack McKerron, the two year old trotter by John A. McKerron 2:04^, that made a record of 2.23% in a winning race over a half mile track this year, was purchased last week at a long price by Mr. Wilson B.

Naturally the eastern trainers sub- stituted our California hay for their imported article, and when they returned east there was California hay in the car. and in many instances orders were left for carloads to be shipped to different points where their horses were to race. Soon others learned its value and merit and in this way quite an extensive eastern trade has been built up. Hay is now shipped direct to Chicago, New York. Cincinnati. Lexington and a num- ber of other points, and many of the largest stables of race horses use none but California hay. A great deal of hay is also shipped to Honolulu and to the Philippines, and up and down the Coast. The San Francisco trade, exclusive of the shippers, consumes about 123,000 tons annually. Oakland is a large consumer, while San Jose, Los Angeles and many interior points, especially in Northern Califor- Will Durfee has one of the lust prospects in Cali- fornia for the green trots next year in a three year old gelding called Zomont by Zombro 2:11, dam Altamont Maid by Altamont.

While a high class stallion that has a repu- tation is a very profitable animal to own, he generally represei >' investment, if not in money, in le and hard work. The owner of a few high class mares, however, generally does not have a fortune invested, and the returns he receives on the t the produce are larger in proportion to the investment than those of the average slall.on owner. As an investment made with the idea that it will "pay" which is the main idea of every investment nowadays, there is none that presents better opportu- nities than the purchase of one or both of two mares now owned by Mr. John A. Cole of San Bernardino, President of the San Bernardino Driving Club. One of these mares is Hazel Kinney 2:09%, the first of the trotters sired by McKinney to enter the exclu- sive 2:10 list, which she did at Woodland, August 29th. 1900, defeating Phoebe Childers 2:10% and Iran Uto2.12% in three straight heats in 2:091i, 2:10% and In the first heat she trotted the last three- quarters of her mile in 1:33. a 2:04 gait. Hazel Kin- ney is by McKinney 2:11%, dam Baby's Gi-'t. dam also of the trotter Nina Bonita 2:2,. by Christmas 12253, second dam Baby Arthurton. by a son of Arthurton HAZEL KINNEY 2:09J£. 365. third dam Gipsy by California Tenbroeck, thor- oughbred She is a blood bay, full sixteen hands, weighs 1150 pounds, and is a perfect model of the high class trotting mare. ■ No more beautifully gaited animal ever wore harness and there was never one more sound in wind and limb. If put in training again she should lower her record at least three seconds, and sell for three or four times as' much as Mr. Cole asks for her now. The other mare that Mr. Cole offers for sale is the three-year-old brown filly. April Rose, also by Mc- Kinney. She was bred at the famous Palo Alto Farm and is a full sister to Mack Rose, the young stallion which Mr. Cole sold for a long price to Geo. S. New- man of Colorado, who recently founded a stock farm twelve miles out of Denver. Mr. Cole states it as his firm opinion, founded on what he has seen her do. that she is the best green three-year-old filly in America to-day. No one that ever saw her move questions her extreme speed She can step at any time an eighth of a mile in 15 seconds, and last June, with only five months work, trotted a mile in 2:18, and a half in 1:05%. She is pure gaited and never makes a mistake. Hre dam, Sweet Rose, has a trot- ting record of 2:25%, made as a yearling, which is close to the world's record of 2:23, held by Adbell. Sweet Rose is by the great sire Electioneer out of the great brood mare, Rosemont by Piedmont 2.17%, second dam the greatest of brood mares. Beautiful Bells, dam of ten in the list, by The Moor, and third dam Minnehaha, dam of eight in the list, by Steven's Bald Chief. Mr. Cole very pointedly says that if any nows of any better bred McKinney than this one he would like to have them say so, as he likes and it will be news to him, also if there is any better individual or any faster trotter of her age, considering the length of time she has been training. Any person desirous of knowing anything further of wo McKinney mares should address Mr. John A. at San Bernardino. NOTES AND NEWS Tom Smith 2: mi, Prof. E. P. Heald's handsome and fast trotting stallion by McKinney, will mafe the season of 1S06 at Woodland in charge of C. A. Spencer, the well known superintendent of the Wood- land Stock Farm The breeders of Tolo county could not look for a better stallion to breed to next year. The East View Farm Stable won upwards of $23,000 last season, the largest amount won by horses belong- ing to one man. Charles Whitehead, owner of that good Director stallion Delphi 2:12%, will again make a season with him at Salinas in 1906. He writes that the harness horse business is thriving in that section. Everyone seems to want to get another colt like Mr. Iverson's North Star that won everything he was entered m this vear. Whitehead has eight of Mr. Iverson's horses in training. North Star has filled out until he looks like a different horse. He will not be raced again until 1907, and Whitehead believes he is a 2:07 trotter three times in a race if there ever was one. Princss 2:13% is looking good. Alma, green trotter by Dexter Prince, trotted a trial in 2:24; Rosier, two years old. by Engineer, dam by Guy Wilkes, has trot- ted a quarter in 41 seconds. She is in the Stanford Stake. Derby Beauty, two years old. trotted a quar- ter in 40 seconds. She is in the Breeders' and the Occident Stakes. Robineer, a two-year-old by Robin, out of Ivoneer, dam of North Star, paced a quarter in 35% seconds. Dictatus Bell, by Dictatus out of the dam of Princess 2:13%, and Prince Gift 2:12. paced a quarter in 34 seconds. A yearling by Baron- dale is proving quite a trotter and is entered in all the stakes. Delia Derby is in fine shape now, and with no more bad luck will give a good account of herself in the Breeders' and Occident Stake next year. Mr. Whitehead has four of Mr. C. Z. Heberfs horses. Bruno 2:16. a gray mare by Bruno that trotted a mile in 2:21% and an eighth in 16 seconds, and is a good prospect to race next season: also two pacers by Ham bletonian Wilkes with trials of 2.20%. and 2:19, re- spectively, to cart. T ' Flint's green pacer stepped a quarter in 32% seconds: M. J. Smeltzer's trotter tiialed in 2:2S and his pacer in 2:30. Both are by Dictatus. T. Butler's X Ray has been shifted to the pace and looks like as good a pacer as his daddy. Rev Direct 2:10. County Treasurer James Taylor has a good prospect in a full brother to Princess 2:13% Mr. Whitehead is also working two very promising colts owned by Mr. Hoyt of WatsonviUe. Toppy 2:10 will surely race next year and the 2:10 pacers had better look out for him. Woodland Stock Farm had five three year olds by Nushagak in training this year that could beat 2:30 and three that could beat 2:20. There w7ere only two of -his two year olds trained; one of them could have stepped a mile in 2:20 in June and the other was able to trot a mile in 2:30 with a little over three months' work. Nushagak has one five year old and two four year olds out of common mares, therefore his oldest colts out of good mares since the crop Aristo 2:0S14 came from are three year olds. He has but ten colts that are three years old or over entered in stakes, and three of them have started and been winners of either first or second money. This is a remarkably good showing. Prince Ansel, Woodland Stock Farm's other sire, has but three four year olds (his oldest foals). One has been trained and could beat 2:20 as a three year old, and this year as a four year old worked a mile in 2:17, last three quarters iu 1:40, last half in 1.05%, last quarter in 31% seconds, hitched to a cart. Prince Ansel has three three year olds, and but one has been trained; he could beat 2:20 this season. A couple of yearlings by him have been broken and handled a little and both show exceei ingly well. Mr. Spencer, superintendent of the fat says the only twTo colts by this horse that have bei trained are capable of trotting in 2 : 10 and, barrinj cidents, he believes they will do so. Prince Ansel w; a great two year old, taking a mark of 2:20%, and di f eating John A. McKerron 2:04% that year. But the accident in which he went wrong he would hai been a 2:10 trotter. It is reported that the fast trotter McKinley 2:06*4 is being trained at the pace and taking kindly to that way of going, while the pacing stallion Allerson 2:05% is to be tried at the trot. Lon McDonald will winter at Andover, Mass., where he will have in charge such well known performers as Glenw-ood M. 2:07%, Claymos 2:07%. Miss Adbell (3) 2:09%. Swift B 2.12%, the fast green trotter Baron Wedgewood, and Sadie Fogg by The Director General, the latter being the three year old filly that beat 2:10 at the Lexington meeting and sold for §12,500. The law prohibiting betting on horse races enacted by the last Tennessee legislature went into effct De- cember 1. A few days since a race was run on the Shelbyville, Tenn., track, on which books were made, it being the object of the horsemen there to make a test of the law. The parties in charge of the meeting were promptly arrested by the sheriff and the decision of the courts in the case is being awaited with great interest. Glendale. that took a two year old record of 2:26. worked a mile over the Lexington track this fall in 2:10. This handsome son of Ondale. son of Onward 2:lT,i4, is owned by J. H. Thayer and Henry Bos- worth. Ondale is a young horse Vet all his get show remarkable speed. Hazel Patch 2:02% has worked a mile in 1:59% since his arrival at Phoenix and will race there Christ- mas week and then return to San Diego. Cal., where he will go against the California track record Feb- ruary 22d, after which he will be given a rest until May 1st, when he w-111 be trained for the free-for-all classes on the Grand Circuit for 1906. Hazel Patch is 35 pounds heavier now than when he went his first race in July and has raced nearly every week since and been shipped 10,000 miles. His legs are as sound and clean as the day he was foaled. At a recent sale at Philadelphia the trotter Ed Bryan 2:16% by Little Corporal, that holds the two and three mile ' Grid's record to wagon, was sold to ex-Congressman John E. Reyburn for $3250. The bidding on the trotter was very animated, starting at $300, and went in $100 bids to over $2000 in a short period. Congressman Reyburn's representative met every advance by a nod of the head nonchalantly. Miles Rigor, owner of Gedney King, got in the game at the $1500 mark and ran him up to $2500, then threw up his hands. A Mr. Seyert, said to be a mil- lionaire iron merchant, went to $2S00, and then a New York horseman joined in the game and bid up to $3225, the Reyburn man still nodding for $3250 and named Reyburn as the purchaser. The annual stockholders' meeting of the Kings County Agricultural Association was held last Mon day. The financial statement of the secretary shows the association to be in good condition. C. L. New- port. John Hayes. Frank Johnson. M. Bassett. J. M. Daggs, J. W. McCord, H. G. Lacey were elected di rectors. James Thompson of California is not the only trainer that started in the matrimonial stakes this year and won out. An eastern paper states that Joe Gahagan of Toledo was married in Detroit a few days ago to Miss Maud Scott, a handsome and accomplished lady of that city. It looks as though there would be little doing in Memphis in 1906. An eastern paper states that Mur- ray Howe, who has acted as secretary of the Mem- phis Trotting Association since the organization, has accepted a position on the advertising staff of the People's Gas Light and Coke Co. of Chicago, one of C. K G. Billings' western business interests. The Memphis track will remain open for another season at least as a training establishment, and it is hoped that within that time the law prohibiting pool selling, as passed by the last legislature, will be repealed or de- clared void. An item is going the rounds of the eastern turf pa- pers that Dr. Berthiaume of Providence refused $10,- 000 for the three year old Carakina by McKinney 2:11%, out of Blscara (dam of six by Director 2:17, after he had shown a mile in 2:16% to jog cart, over the Woonsocket half mile track, a performance equal to 2:10 over a mile track. This is one of the colts purchased by Dr. Berthiaume last year, bred at Santa Rosa Stock Farm. The other McKinney colt, out of a mare by Bay Rose, is said to be nearly as prom ising. Lecco 2:09% was shipped from Pleasanton to Ma con. Georgia, by Ed Mills. Dan Selso'r, the well known caretaker, who has had charge of Lecco since the horse first came to California, went with him, and writes that Lecco shipped through in fine shape.

Nowadays similarity in color and markings is not so much an essential thing in matching horses for a team. The horses must be alike in action, speed, temper and spirit This is not because of any innate fancy for mismatching pairs in color, but because of the great pleasure and comfort in driving two horses that travel as one. Style, size and speed go with tin other considerations. If likeness in color can be ob tained. well and good. "but those matching horses will not wait on color if other things are right.

Just how much of an advance Cox paid is not known, but it is said to be a generous one, as the New England trainer thinks well of the black horse and expects that he will be the star of his stable in 1906. Grancino is by Directum and his dam was Miss Lizzie S. by Bow Bells Work horses are high. A New York brewery ha just placed a $45,000 contract for one hundred heat of Percherons. Locanda 2:02 took a record of 2:16% as a thre' year old. in a race that he won in straight heats a Saugus, Mass.. October S, 1B00. The time of the heat: was 2.17, 2:16%, 2:17%. [December 23, 1905 i£\\s j6i*cc£rev tmfc* §t}.un*t&mau 11 The tracks that are kept in condition for training generally receive enough patronage to pay for the expense. The third payment of $25 in the Occident Stake of 1906 will be due and payable January 1st If you ex- pect to win the rich Occident Stake at the next State Fair, make this payment without fail, as failure to make it will declare your colt out. There are fifteen trotters and pacers that have rec- ords from 1:5514 to 2.02, and five of them, or one- third, trace to the two full brothers Alcyone 2:27, and Alcantara 2:23. Nine of them trace one or more times to George Wilkes 2:22. The fast record sires are at the front as shown by the new 2:10 trotting list in which the following six represented have records below 2:10: Directum 2:0514, Bingen 2:06*4, Peter the Great 2:07%, William Penn 2:07*4, Del Norte 2:08, and Henry F. 2:09%. Geers will winter Dr Strong 2.05% at Memphis and will probably race him in the Grand Circuit in 1906. Frank Turner, proprietor of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, has twenty-six Sidney Dillons, from weanlings to three-year-olds. Every one old enough to be trained can trot or pace a mile in standard time, and several can heat 2.20 away off. It's a great family. "I thought your horse's name was Bill." "It was but I've changed it to Coal Bill." "Jet black, I sup- pose?" "Yes, but that isn't the reason I call him Coal Bill. I put him on the scales yesterday, and he lacked 500 pounds of weighing a ton." Many owners of good mares in this section would like to see Zombro 2:11 make the season of 1906 some- where around the bay of San Francisco. A great prospect for next season's Eastern futurities for three-year-old trotters is the filly Daffodil 2:19%, by Directly 2:03%, dam Falfa 2:20 by Allerton 2:09%. This product of developed sire and dam before going into winter quarters trotted a mile in 2:14%, the last half covered in 1:05%. She is owned by W. H. Smol- linger of Galesburg, 111., who also owns the good mare Angiola 2:07%, and has been developed by Oscar Ames. It looks as though the daughters of Nutwood 2:08% may eventually be credited with 300 standard perform- ers. Not less than 25S produced by them have already taken standard records, and many of his daughters are still in the brood mare ranks. As an instance of what the Horse Show does for the dealer, here are a few sales which came under my notice, and there are scores of which I know nothing. Of those I do know, William H. Moore -paid $22,000 for a pony Torchfire and four Hackney mares; $10,000 for Eloquence and Revenue; $5,000 for "Victory and Victor, and $5,000 for King George. J. W. Harriman paid $14,000 for the three saddlers, May Morning, Cor- inne and Petroleum, and $3,750 for Mack, the harness horse. G. White of Fairmont, Va., paid $5,000 for five Hackney mares. Reginald Vanderbilt paid $3,750 for Miss Foxhall Edna May and Lotta Faust went for $7,500, and Little Brown Jug (I am weak on this amount), $3,000, etc A nice bouquet for the smart dealers. — Sports of the Times, New York. Professor Ridgeway, in his "Origin and Influence of the Thoroughbred Horse," refers to the practice among various peoples of attaching talismans to their horses to ward off ills. The modern Italian fastens a piece of badger's hair or a tooth to his bridle in order to guard the horse against evil. The Greek ties an elaborate amulet about its neck. The Kabyles of Kairfan hang round the necks of their One of the get of the champion pacer, Dan Patch 1:55%, that will probably be raced in her sire's stable next season is the pacing mare Judy Patch, that was given a time record of 2:24% this season. She was sent to the home of her sire last spring to be bred to Directum 2:05%, her owner believing that through bad handling she had become worthless for racing pur- poses. Trainer H. C. Hersey, who drives Dan Patch, began working the mare in order to give her a stand- ard record, and he found that she worked so cleverly for him that he believes she will be a great race mare.

In the asses a thick woolen cord (purple and white), to which are attached two triangular amulets covered with purple velvet embroidered with imitation Arabic writing in gold thread, and having a smalt round button between them. The Coringas of the Madras coast, it may be added, will never allow the shell which they tie about their ponies' necks to be taken off lest the evil the shell is supposed to avert should befall them. It is thought by some authorities that the brass ornaments on the blinkers of our own dray horses may be survivals of similar "protective charms." Two colt stakes for Solano and Yolo county trotters and pacers will soon be announced to come off over the Dixon track on May Day. Several years ago the pacer The Spy. by Chimes, out of Ormaid, by Prince Regent 2:16%, showed Geers phenomenal speed, but broke down and never raced. Geers liked him so well that he bought him of Village Farm and placed him in the stud in Ten- nessee, where it is thought he will prove a remark- able' sire of pacers. Three three-year-olds by him are now in Geers' stable at Memphis, and all are said to possess extreme speed. One is a slashing chestnut filly out of Ella Brown 2:11%, dam of Walter Direct 2:05%. What are you doing to help organize a California circuit for next year? Are you doing your part to see that a good meeting is held in your county? If not. why not? The matinee sport has been a great benefit to the big horse auction, as few matinee horses are raced more than one season in the same club. They are then consigned to the auctions. Writing of large stallions brings to mind the old blind horse Invincible 2:19%, by Princeps, dam by Volunteer, owned for fifteen years by Mat Wilcox of Concordia, Kansas, says "Columbus." Invincible is the largest trotter ever looked at by the writer, as in good condition this horse will weigh nearly 1500 pounds. It has been stated to the writer that Invinci- ble weighed 1320 pounds the day he obtained his rcord. Judging from the size of his feet, this son of Princeps must weigh a ton. and then not be out of proportion. But he was a trotter just the same, and showed a mile in 2:15 while in Charley McDon- ald's stable. We are gratified to announce that the Fasig-Tlpton Company will positively give a sale in Cleveland at the Cleveland Sale Mart some time during the month of May. Prince Direct 2:07. will be at Richmond, Ind., next season. The supposed oldest horse in America, aged firty- two years, lives three miles from Stanhope, In Ham- ilton county, Iowa, and is the property or a Scandi- navian farmer. Last winter the horse was bereaved by the death of its mate, a horse that died in the full bloom at the age of thirty-two. The horse that has just completed more than half a century of life is in fairly good flesh and is fed on bread baked with an additional ration of sugar each day. It is said that all the signs of great age are present. The coat is hide bound and has not shed for several years and the muscles have lost their powers to a degree. Second payment of $15 will be due and payable January 1st on all foals entered in the Occident Stake for foals of 1904, to be trotted at the California State Fair in 1907. Don't let this payment lapse if you desire to trot your colt in this stake. how she would act she raced like a seasoned cam- paigner, and was separately timed in 2:13%, and a little later she was worked in 2:10 If she proves to be in foal her foal will be taken away from her and raised on a bottle, so that she may go on and race later in the season. With these two pacers in his stable Hersey thinks he will have an excellent chance to start Dan Patch's 2:05 list with two of his get next year. George Washington, the father of his country, fol- lowed racing, and on the Maryland side of the Poto- mac, opposite his Mount Vernon homestead, there was a race track, where he frequently raced horses. Were it not for racing, the development of the horse would not be what it has become in this country. A trotter that has attracted the attention of racing men generally is Nut Boy 2:15%, by Nutprice 2:15%. dam by Smuggler 2:15%, that raced on the half- mile tracks of the West this year. He started out green last summer, and went some notable races over the half-mile rings His record is no measure of his speed, for he has trotted a public trial over a half-mile track in 2:11%. Not a few of the men who follow the Grand Circuit are casting longing eyes on him, and the chances are that he will pass into the stable of some Grand Circuit trainer before racing begins next season. Go where you may in any state in the Union, in city, town or hamlet, you will find one or more inter- ested in breeding the light harness horse. The trotting horse enthusiast is found in all walks of life, and his admirers are not confined to any one class or condition of people, and some of the most sincere lovers of the horse are to he found in the pulpit, on the stage, in the big financial institutions of the country; on the farms, in the stores, shops and factories — in fact, the popularity of the trotting horse extends into every part of American life. The Vermont Morgan Horse Breeders' Association held a meeting at Middlebury November 23 and 24 at which nearly forty Morgan breeders of Vermont were in attendance, says Horse World. Mr. Rommel of the National Bureau of Animal Industry outlined the proposal of the federal government relative to the establishment of an experimental station at Bur- lingion for the purpose of breeding a type of the Morgan horse that is demanded by American gentle- men. He stated that contracts would be signed the coming week and that work would be commenced im- mediately. He said it was the government's purpose to ascertain the possibilities of breeding horses in this region and that records would be kept of the breeding experiments, that the department might know just what such experiments give as results. He paid Ver- mont a splendid compliment in saying it was his personal opinion that outside of Kentucky no hand- somer or more finished horses are to be found in this country than here. He asked for an expression of opinion from those present as to the type of the Morgan that should be bred, and the remarks of the several speakers were unanimous that the demand today is for a type of horse embodying the characteristics of the early Mor- gan with the same form, endurance and beauty, but a trifle heavier and 15% hands tall, rather than under that height. If the breeders of Morgans in Vermont keep up the interest in their favorites shown by this meeting and get the aid of government experimental breeding also, the Morgan ought to enjoy a genuine boom a few years hence. The ponies of Iceland have a natural weakness for animal food, and a noted authority says he has seen ponies making their way to the seashore to feed on fishheads and the like; this in the summer, when there was plenty of good pasture accessible. In some parts of Iceland at least a proportion of the horses are kept through part of the winter in stables near the farms, and those which are so protected are fed very largely at this season on dried cods' heads, which also form the staple food of the cattle when the hay harvest has been a bad one. At some places, too, where the codfish is caught in large numbers, its body, either fresh, or more frequently dry, is given them. This peculiar diet is said to be very nourishing to milch kine. just as dried whale meat is supposed to be in the Faroes. Naturally, the milk has a peculiar taste, but those who are accustomed to it do not notice it. The gray pacer Geraldine, that started out green last spring and closed the season with a record ol 2.IO14, has just been bought by M. & V. Miller of Oneida, N. Y. and will be fitted for a Grand Circuit campaign next season. He was sired by Gira rdln 2:21%, son of Pilot Medium, dam by Rochester, the son of Aberdeen, that was bred and made his stud career at the Jewett Farm. Good judges look for Geraldine to pace in 2:07 or better next season.

R Evangie by Shadeland Onward Tom Smith CAPTAIN JONES BY McKINNEY. There was a trotting mare on the California circuit this year that attracted much attention from horse- men who "know a good thing when they see it." This was the handsome bay mare Lady Jones owned by Mr. J. A. Jones of Springbrook, Oregon. Lady Jones tok a record of 2: 16% at Tulare, but this was no measure of her speed as after the racing season was ended it was discovered that she was suffering from corns, which accounted for her repeated breaks and seeming inability to get away fast. With the corns removed she was a different mare and at the errd of the season could have trotted very close to 2:10. Lady Jones is a daughter of the stallion Captain Jones whose handsome proportions are shown in the accom- panying portait. He is a son of McKinney 2:11*4 and a great bred one. His dam is Midday Bell by Gossiper 2:14%, sire of the dam of that other fast McKinney, Zolock 2.05^4- The second darn of Capt. Jones is Briar Belle (dam of MeBriar 2:14), by Don Wilkes 2:24%, a son of Alcyone, so Capt. Jones gets two crosses of Alcyone blood. The third dam was Belle Bryan by Mambrino Patchen, the fourth Old Den (grandam of a number of very fast ones) by Black Denmark, son of imported Hedgeford. With such breeding as this, the handsome proportions of Capt Jones are easily accounted for, and his ability to transmit these quali- ties to his colts is assured. He is a black horse, 15.3 and reserve junior championship, and the second prize for yearling fillies. It is well for breeders to make note of such sires as Capt. Jones as they are the profitable ones to breed to If the colts are trained they will show speed, but if the owner does not care to go to the expense of training he will have young horses on his farm that will command prices high enough to pay a big profit when offered us roadsters. Capt. Jones has had a very limited opportunity in the stud, but every one of his get yet trained can show 2:30 speed. From his loins we predict will come in the very near future more than one 2:10 per- former, and then there will be a rush to patronize him at a larger price than is now asked for his ser- vices. The breeders of Oregon are fortunate to have such a well bred son of McKinney in their reach. CAPTAIN JONES hands high and weighs 1150 pounds. His trotting action is perfect and although never raced he has a well authenticated trial of 2:22% and possesses much greater speed. His colts are all trotters, ideal road- sters of good size, level headed and stylish. A pair of his three-year-old geldings sold last year for $S00, and a four-year-old by him sold for $1,000 for a road- ster. Capt. Jones sired the winners of the first prize for two-year-olds and junior championship at the Lewis and Clark Fair, the first prize for yearlings Stockholders of the Washington Park Club. Chicago, on Monday voted to dissolve the organization and sell the great race track for building purposes. It is not known when the sale will be made, but it is certain that there never will be another race meeting there. Grafters are directly responsible for this lamentable condition of affairs. The people of Chicago want racing, and would favor ;i racing bill, but certain grafters are powerful enough, or have been in the past, to prevent the passage of a favorable law. McKINNEY""D!RECTOR===NUTWOOD. Stout blood, good bone, size, individuality and race horse speed are the qualifications one should look for in a sire, as they are all money bringers when the sales are on or the races begin. A breeder who made a great success in the breeding of fine cattle once said that he attributed much of his success to the fact that he always demanded masculinity in the looks of the males and femininity in the appearance of the females of his herd The same rule will apply to horses, and whether it be runners, trotters or draft stock, the best producing stallions were intensely masculine and the greatest mares possessed all the motherly traits and instincts. An effeminate looking stallion never achieved any great success. The Mc- Kinney stallion Unimak. three years old, owned by Capt. C. H. Williams of Palo Alto, has all the qualifi- cations enumerated in the first paragraph of thi= article. Unimak is now a three year old, and a no- bler, grander individual never put foot on the earth. He is a representative of three of the greatest race crosses— McKinney. Director and Nutwood. The first named is ■ the leading sire of 2:10 trotters and 2:15 performers, the second founder of one of the greatest if not the greatest race winning family yet produced, while the third is reckoner the greatest sire of stan- dard performers and brood mares that ever lived. Why. should not s-ich a combination of blood produce a colt that has all the qualifications of a race horse and s!re? John Phippen. the well known trainer of trotters, who was with Palo Alto Stock Farm for many years, and who has given over 60 horses records from 2.12 to 2:30, wrote, under date of December 17th, the following about this colt: "Unimak at three years old is a beautiful seal brown stallion, near hind foot and coronet white, by the great McKinney 2:11!4. first dam Twenty-third by Director 2:17, second dam Nettie Nutwood, dam of Hillsdale 2:15. by Nutwood 2:18%. He is a grand in- dividual, weighs about 1200 pounds and stands 16 hands and an inch high In his two year old form ho was nicely broken and given just work enough to step a qiarter in 44 seconds and an eighth in 21 seconds. This was done about the fifth time he was ever on a (rack when driven for a little speed. He was then taken home and jogged nicely through the winter. "This spring he was given ten well bred mares and was then turned out until October 15th. I then took and jogged him until November 10th. when I gave him his first work on the track and he stepped a quar- ter in 43 seconds. His next work for speed was oil November 27th, when he trotted a quarter in 40% sec- onds, the last eighth in IS14 seconds. December 14th (three days ago) was his next speed lesson. On that day he stepped his quarter nicely in 37 seconds, the last eighth being in IS seconds. "Unimak will be given a limited number of ap- proved mares next spring, and I would advise owners of good mares to look this fellow over before breed- ing. He will undoubtedly make a very fast trotter and his development for speed will go on in earnest after the stud season of 1906. as the following season, 1907, he will be prepared in his five year old form for a record." The above from John Phippen. as conservative and as reliable as any man in the business, is worth heeding Those breeders who are looking for a sire that combines In his make-up so many character- istics of two of the greatest stallions ever in Califor- nia— Director and McKiney — should open correspond- ence with the owner of Unimak forthwith. A better chance to breed to a high class young horse was never offered. 14 mxe &veei>er att& *fpovt*num SELECTING BROOD MARES. BY SAM GAMBLE The writer came to California in the year 1S72. a young man. without a handle or any newspaper noto- riety attached to his name, and occupying the position of caretaker of a trotting horse. He was not long a resident of this sunset land before he became con- ed with business gentlemen who were interested in the handsome trotting horse, and engaging with them, rendered them satisfactory service, or he would not have continued with them for so many years. i' the first acquaintances he made was that lead- ing .California horseman, Harrison R. Covey, father fie late Frank Covey. The elder Covey was the flrstj superintendent of Palo Alto Stock Farm, and with his able assistance that renowned farm was es- tablished by that noble and enterprising citizen, the late Senator Leland Stanford. These gentlemen were bosom friends for years, and the Senator had the teat confidence in Mr. Covey's natural ability as a horseman and in his practical knowledge in the se- [on, mating and breeding of trotting horses that would possess extreme, speed and the ability to carry it over a mile of ground. Mr. Covey was considerably my senior, but we were the warmest of friends and I always listened with the greatest interest when he advanced his ideas in re- gard to breeding the trotter. He was naturally very fond of a horse, and in my opinion was the best judge of what constituted a great sire and a producing mare of any person I ever knew, and I think it was his great talent in this direction that made the suc- cess of Palo Alto Farm. It must never be overlooked by those who admire the thoroughbred cross close up in the trotter that Mr. Covey was one of the very first to advance that idea, and that he held that it must be used in connecion with blood lines that have the brain, conformation and trotting action, such as Electioneer possessed. Not only was Harrison Covey an adept in judging individual qualities in horses, but his ideas in training did to a certain degree revolu- tionize the art as it was followed prior to the estab- lishment of Palo Alto Farm. He should receive the credit of being the father of the system of the ean> training of baby trotters, that was destined to aston- ish the world and earn champion records for the youngsters bred at the farm of the tall pine. I do not overlook the great work and the ability of Charles Marvin, who developed and drove these trotters to victory, but the foundation plans were drawn up by Harrison Covey. There are five essentials necessary to the success of a large stock farm. First, an owner with money and common sense; second, a man well versed in all the branches of horse breeding and training as super- intendent; third, a careful, level headed man as colt breaker, capable of making good manners and good mouths: fourth, a good speed developer, one who can drive the shortest and quickest mile and get the money and a reputation for the owner and his stock; fifth, a good, attentive care taker with good head and of gentlemanly conduct. Palo Alto was blessed with all the above, and with such a stallion as Electioneer and a few high-class mares, the combination accomplished wonders and its memory now occupies a warm place in the hearts of all true American horsemen. Messrs. Stanford and Covey's great contribution tt. science in demonstrating through the agency of Mr Muybridge's camera the actual movements and posi- tions of a trotter's legs in action, more so the rightly shaped joints that are so essential to speed, will never be appreciated by the majority of breeders. The writer learned from Mr. Covey these valuable lessons which Mr. C. had learned from the camera, and I can now say that these lessons were stamped so clearly and so indelibly that in the selection of untried stallions and young mares as producers of speed he has never yet made one mistake. To this day the writer has tested it, and at one time it was his capital stock and paid a profit on the knowledge. In 1 sTS the late Daniel Cook, a gentleman who could not be termed a practical horseman, but one who had a great natural love for that noble animal, pro- posed to the writer that he sell out his business and start a stork farm with him. Mr. Cook was perhaps the best friend the writer ever possessed, but my business was then of such a pleasing nature and profit that I at first emphatically declined to entertain Mr. Cook's very liberal offer, but on his persistence I Anally yielded, and as it turned out. the move was a very unfortunate one. i e fall of 1879 Mr H. R. Covey and the writer made • ■ business trip to the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains— Mr. Covi representing Senator Stanford and the writer Mr. Cook. W.- sited all the important rma 111 various States, and at the same time Inspected all the leading producing stallions and brood man of national repute. A careful inspection of these animals convinced us that our new discovery or mark" was correct, as it was to be plainly seen in the animals that had produced the kings and queens of the trotting turf. The first thoroughbred brood 1 ' ) : ip was then untried, but is now well known to fame as Dame Winnie, daughter ol Plai el nd d im ol Palo Alto 2.08%. and several others with fasl recoi I lected by Mr. Covey on that trip and after he ■ ■ ■ lifornla were Lizzie Whips, Josle, Col- umbine, Beautiful Bells, Mayflower, Lula Wilkes, May g Mohawk. Norma, and others. These mares well de ; th I. that Mr. Covey's discovery on tl Ing that the camera no fib In the years of 1S64-5 and 1870 to 1872 the writer saw oi i ■• ■". Wilkes' and Lady Thorn's rraances. From different standpoints they may nsidered as great trotters as any. ai Wilkes was probably the most remarkable trotting stallion ever seen, times and opportunities consid- ered. He was campaigned for over twelve years, and beat all comers, no matter how hitched, champion of his sex, record 2:22 to harness, old fashioned heavy sulky. 2:25 to heavy skeleton wagon and 2:2S to pole. When he was retired to the stud and taken to Ken- tucky by that enterprising and hustling horseman, the late W. H. Wilson, in 1S73, like Electioneer he was condemned and pronounced a failure by many of the self-constituted judges of a great horse, yet he forced his recognition on them. Probably no one branch has ever been the superior to Baron Wilkes and Al- cyone as sires, and Alcantara as a sire of mares. As a race horse Alcantara was a leviathan in soft or tight places, but in his day owners of horses of his sex fought shy of him. It is not much wonder that he went amiss after such a race as the one at Louis- ville in the fall of 1SS0, and the next week at Lexing- ton he received an injury which ended his career as a race horse I first met Dr. Talbot, the breeder of Alcantara and Alcyone, in 1879, and I now state without fear of con- tradiction that I was the first person to offer over $6000 for a son of Geo. Wilkes, and the horse I made the offer for was Alcantara. He was then a three year old. I offered $10,000 for Alcantara and Alcyone, and $12,000 for the two colts and their mother. Alma Mater. As it turned out it was perhaps better for the colts, the mare. Dr. Talbot and the breeders of the land, that the deal did not materialize. The only liv- ing witness of the incident that I now recall is that genial and well known horseman, Mike Bowerman of Lexington. In March, 18SS, the writer purchased a one-half interest with the late W. H. Wilson in the then ten months old colt Higbee, now known to fame as McKinney 2:11*4. For various reasons I disposed of my interest in the colt and the same month I pur- chased for the late Seth Cook, then proprietor of the Oakwood Park Stock Farm, another representative of this great family, then a three year old bay filly, and now known as Bertha by Alcantara, and classed by many as one of the greatest of her sex. In March, 18S0, the Cook Farm, now known as Oakwood Park Stock Farm, was established as a place for the breeding of trotting horses. There were about sixty head of horses on the farm at the time it was purchased that it would be a conundrum to guess to what use they could be put. That spring the writer had secured the handsome stallion Steinway to head the farm, and in the fall of 1SS1 selected ten head of mares, including Katie G.. Ellen Swigert and others, to breed to him. In the fall of 1882 Daniel Cook passed over that mystic river, and the great central sun of the farm went down amid the deep sorrows of his many friends and neighbors. His death was a loss to the breeders of the State. In 1SS3 there was a dis- persal sale of the estate. Seth Cook could not endure the idea of his brother's favorite horse being sold at public auction and consequently secured him from the heirs by private agreement, and at the sale procured Katie G. and Princess. When Seth Cook came into possession of the farm in 1S85, the writer returned there with the understanding that it would be stocked with a band of high class brood mares Katie G. was about the only one on the farm that had proved a happy nick for Steinway. Katie G. was purchased for the writer, who named her after the best woman that ever lived — his wife. This mare was the first of the writers* selections. She was bred by F. S. Malone and was one of the first of Electioneers priduce placed on the market. She was a handsome brown mare with tan flanks, stood 15.2 and was a ferfect gaited line trotter. She was of a highly nervous disposition, one of the do-or-die kind, and. like glass, had to be handled with much care. She was foaled with a deformity, her left hind leg being shorter and smaller around than her right Her mouth had been ruined by a colt breaker who first handled her, consequently she was beyond control when at a high rate of speed. She would hit her left toe so hard at times as to throw her off her stride. The writer has always been of the opinion that but for this she would have been as fast as any of the Electioneers. As a four year old she trotted under the very worst conditions a quarter in 32 seconds and a half in 1:07. She was mated when a four year old to Steinway, then six, and the produce was H. R. Covey, one of the fastest trotters ever seen on any stock farm, and but for an attack of pleura pneumonia would have made a great reputation for the farm. We had all the big stakes at our mercy and we all "wore crepe" when his sickness prevented his starting. Katie G.'s next foal was Carrie Malone. now in the great brood mare table, and her next Chas. Derby 2:20 As we had few other brood mares on the farm Mr. Cook decided to close out all the stock at public auc- tion, and on February 28th, 1SSS, the sale was held. We kept Steinway. Chas. Derby and the mares Katie G., Princess and Leah and a few daughters of Stein- way. It was the greatest horse sale I ever saw, con- sidering the stock sold, and Mr. Cook was so pleased with the result that he came to me with outstretched hand and congratulated me, saying: "You advised me correctly, and you shall take the money I have re- ceived for this stock and buy twenty or thirty mares such as you think will suit the stallions." I started March 4th and after buying Bertha, Ida Wood. Xone Better. Tone, Nanny Smith, Inex, Alger- detta, Addie Ash and Maggie McGregor, all untried fillies at the time, I received word from Mr. Cook to stop buying and ship home what I had. I was sur- prised, as I had not exhausted the fund and had picked out a number of others that I thought it would be murder to leave behind. It seems the knockers had got in their work, but the records now show what sort of mares. I selected. The stock arrived in rather bad shape after a long trip by freight train, and Mr. Cook was not very well pleased with their appearance, but on receiving an offer for the whole consignment concluded not to sell. Mr. Cook did not live lone [December 23, 1905 enough to see the results of mating these young mares with his stallions, but the Year Books show that every one has produced standard speed. Later, the late Mr. Hobart desired me to select for him a daughter of Dictator My choice fell on Nancy Lee, the dam of the then untried Nancy Hanks. I se- cured her, but such was Mr. Hobart's prejudice against the Happy Medium blood that he would not buy the daughter at any price. I have selected and purchased for various gentlemen in California, no less than 87 young untried matrons and of these 74 have produced horses with records from 2:04 to 2:30, four better than 2:06, fifteen in the 2.10 list, twenty-four in the 2:15 list, and forty- two in the 2:20 list. Four of the re- maining mares have daughters whose produce have records from 2:07 to 2:20, and the remaining nine have produce that is yet young and untried. I am proud of my failures, and with malice toward none and charity to all I will say A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Yours, SAMUEL GAMBLE. THE LAST LOAD IN THE BARN. Talk about your automobiles, And your reckless rides today — Guess you never raced a rain-cloud On a sloshin' load o' hay. When a youngster, I jest liked it — Startin' from the fardest side Of the forty-acre medder With the last load high and wide. Pap bareheaded and a drivin' Like a jockey at the fair — Horses down to a dead gallop — Hay-straws flyln' through the air. And us boys, our bare shins buried In the middle o' the load, Holdin' io the pitchfork handles — Wonderin' if we'll make the road. Lightnin' flashin', thunder boomin' — Nancy! how that old load reeled When we struck the big dead furrow In the middle of the field. Through the gap and down the turnpike, Horses with their ears laid back — Pap with one eye on the rain-cloud And the other on the track. Mother on the porch a-wavin' Of her apern smiling' glad — " Sister scootin' crost the barn-lot, Op'nin' gates and doors like mad. And us boys a clingin' breathless, Git a mighty healthy scare. When pap, drivin' at a gallop, Clears the gate-post by a hair. Right into the barn we clatter, And the horses snort and rear. As a mighty clap o' thunder Shakes the roof and lifts "our hair. While the rain comes down in rivers, We ain't carin' a corsarn. For our supper's on the table, And the last load's in the barn. — E. J. Wilson. THE DEMAND IK THE EAST FOB, RACE PEOSPECT3 The defeat of Governor Herrick in Ohio and of the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Massachusetts insures the passage of fair racing laws in these two states and the harness game will take on a new life with the beginning of the New Tear. The fall sales at Eastern sales points already forecast that the spring sales will mark stronger values than have been known for years and old time prices will prevail for horses of real merit. Calif ornians should be quick to take ad- vantage of their opportunities and send into the East- ern market their best material. With Cleveland discon- tinued as a sales point the buyers that gave so much prestige to the Ohio city have come to frequent the Indianapolis sales and the Indiana city has now be- come the best distributing point for race prospects and the better class of breeding stock. The Indiana city is peculiarly adapted for the holding of sales of conse- quence and recent auctions at that point have demon- strated that higher values prevail at that point than anywhere in the Middle West. When it is remembered that both McKinney and Sidney Dillon found new homes in the Hoosier state the immensity of the breeding in- terests in Indiana will be taken into account and it can be readily understood how Indianapolis has become so foremost as a sales center. Every accommodation necessary for the conduct of big sales is available at Indianapolis, and with the Blair-Baker Horse Company at the helm, every future sale at Indianapolis will all the more demonstrate the advantages of that market. The next Indianapolis sale is scheduled for February 26 th to March 3rd and Calif ornians who have under advisement the consignment of horses to an Eastern sale will do well to consider Indianapolis. Mr. Frank P. Kenney, well-known to all California horsemen, is in active charge of the sale affairs of the Blair-Baker Horse Company and will be very glad to hear from intending consignors and any communication addressed to him at the Union Stock Yards at Indianapolis will receive his prompt attention. A bit of gossip on the "hot stove circuit" is that Tommy Murphy, who was so successful with Susie N. this year and who scored a great triumph a year ag, > with Hetty G. after that mare had been generally slated as good only for broodmare purposes, will take Millard Sanders' place as colt trainer for John H. Shults. He will have a lot of colts by Axworthy to develop and race, probably in the fall. His string will be made up of Guy Axworthy, Nell Worthy, Nellie Worthy, Miss Low and Bonnie Worthy. Ed Benyon will also train a yearling, a two year old and a three year old from the same farm. In hot weather there is no drink like Jackson's Napa Soda — plain or in a lemonade. December 23, 1905] ®it£ $vee&£v cmi* &pmt&man 15 ROBERT DIRECT. TROTTING BRED STALLIONS. In the veins of the handsome big black stallion Robert Direct, owned by Mr. R. O. Newman of Visalla, flows a rare combination of blood, and at the same time one of the choicest. We do not know of another son of the mighty Direct 2.05% who gets through his dam the blood of Electioneer, Sultan, The Moor and A. W. Richmond, and it is no wonder that Robert Direct is showing a very high rate of speed and transmitting this speed to his get. Robert Direct stands 16 hands, weighs 1200 pounds and is a solid black in color. He has size and substance and finish and quality, and is considered by all horsemen who have seen him to be one of the grandest individuals among the stallions of California. He is now in train- ing at the Hanford half mile track and has shown a half in 1:04 and an eighth in 15 seconds, but this is not the limit of his speed. One of his first crop of foals, Andy Direct, was in training for three months this year for a race for yearlings, which he won in straight heats, the first heat, a half mile, being paced in 1:14, and the second in 1:13, with the last quarter in 33% seconds, a 2:14 gait He could have paced a half in 1:10 without much trouble. Like his sire he is a large, fine looking colt, with level head, and is a solid brown in color. He is eligible to start in the two-year-old division of the Pacific Breeders' Futurity next year and will be heard from. The blood lines of Robert Direct all represent speed, stamina, courage and every race horse quality. Direct 2:05%, his sire, was one of the greatest race horses ever bred in America, and has established such a fam- ily of race horses that the phrase, "The Directs have the winning habit" has become a household word. The fact that Direct is the sire of ten 2:10 performers places him in the front rank as a sire of extreme speed. Columns could be written about the "little black rascal" whose death last year was a public ca- lamity, but every horseman knows all about him. He The trotting-bred stallion of to-day has at least one virtue that is not found in every type of horse, and which is in itself a most desirable one and which bespeaks an amount of intelligence that has had much to do with making this type of horse popular, says a writer in Kentucky Stock Farm. The trotting stal- lion is not vicious, generally speaking, in fact, it is an extremely rare instance where a vicious brute is found, and among all the trotting stallions in America it is doubtful if there is one that is really dangerous. Stallions of other types are frequently not only vicious but extremely dangerous, and this is probably true among the thoroughbreds more than among any other breed. The thoroughbred stallion Orme, son of Or- monde and Angelica, which, while he has proved a success in the stud, is handicapped by his frightful temper, and at times since his retirement to the stud he has been little short of a man-eater. The American stallion Onondaga was for many years a menace to those in charge of him, and his owner resorted to the expedient of having his eyes put out by electricity in order that he could be more easily managed, and in many other instances could be mentioned thorough- breds, the tempers of which made them dangerous if not undesirable. Among trotting stallions, however, such instances are extremely rare, and in almost every case the result was from mistreatment on the part of an owner or groom. Robert McGregor, while he had the reputation of being a vicious horse, was, when propertly treated, easily controlled by any one who was not afraid of him, and It is a rare occurrence where a trotting stallion is not completely submissive to the will of those in whose charge he is. One has but to witness a trotting stallion in his paddock to realize how docile he is, for under the same circum- stances a thoroughbred would resent an intrusion into his domain, and the same is frequently true of the saddle stallion, the draught horse and the hackney. Many of the most successful show horses in America are trotting-bred stallions, and yet they can be as easily controlled in or out of the show ring as geld- ings or mares. This characteristic is undoubtedly due to a superior order of intelligence, for beyond question not a single horse was rejected by the buyer. Sev- eral animals were resold, yet in most cases they found a new owner at higher prices than in the first sale "It is now in Fasig-Tipton Company's records that three horses were resold each three times, and each time sold at higher prices. "While amateur drivers were among the liberal buyers, yet the breeders never let go of the best bred ones, while the racing men secured almost everything which looked to them like a fairly good racing propo- sition. "In the opinion of horsemen of all classes there never was a sale of this magnitude in which less horses were sold at an advance by the buyers as dur- ing the past event. Every buyer bought for his own purposes, and hence speculators did not reap the har- vest they expected. "Among the latter were, perhaps, the foreign buy- ers or their agents. In former years they have been able to pick up good horses, of approved breeding, at prices cheap enough to allow them a margin of profit after the expense of transportation, but this time the home demand was too great to allow them to be competitors to any noticeable extent. As a result, up to yesterday only eighteen applications were filed for export certificates. "Men interested in the American light harness horse, be they breeders, dealers or race track followers, sure- ly had sufficient reason to go to their respective homes much encouraged for the future of the coun- try's horse interests." ROBERT DIRECT A Sixteen-Hand Son of the Great Direct 3:05V was sired by the great Director 2:17, out of a great brood mare by Echo, and his grandam was by the thoroughbred Jack Hawkins, a son of Boston. The dam of Robert Direct is Daisy Basler, an own sister to Ethel Basler, dam of those fast fillies My Way 2:22, as a three year old (and only beaten a head in 2:13%) and Stonelita 2.20, as a two year old. Daisy Basler is a daughter of Robert Basler 2:20, sire of Dr. W. 2:08%. Jonesa Basler 2:11%, etc Robert Bas- ler was by Antevolo 2:19%, son of Electioneer and the great brood mare Columbine by A. W. Richmond, and his dam was the great brood mare Elizabeth Basler by Bill Arp, out of Mary of Warfield, a grandson of Boston. The second dam of Robert Direct is Rich- moor by Pasha, son of Sultan and Madam Baldwin by The Moor. Pasha sired the dam of that great trotter Toggles 2:0S%. Robert Direcfs third dam is Miss Rowland by A. W. Richmond out of a thoroughbred mare. Here is the very stoutest of racing blood Two crosses to Boston and two to Bonnie Scotland, two of the greatest race horse sires the country has known. There could hardly be a choicer combination of blood lines than these in the veins of Robert Direct. That he will produce stylish and speedy campaigners, do-or- die race horses, and large, fine trotters and pacers is certain if he is bred to good mares. He will make the 1 season of 1906 one mile northeast of Visalla at The Palms. His service fee will be $50 for the season, with a return privilege. Mr. R. O. Newman, his ! owner, invites correspondence in regard to breeding Robert Direct to well bred mares, and will be pleased i to send a card containing tabulated pedigree that the great producing lines of his stallion's breeding may be studied by those interested. the American trotter, as a type, is the most intelligent horse known, with the possible exception of the Shet- land pony. This intelligence is depicted in the coun- tenance of many stallions, and while the trotter, as a rule, lacks that artistic beauty of head and neck that is frequently found in the thoroughbred and almost invariably in the saddle stallion, the race horse rarely possesses that broad expanse between the eyes and the almost human expression of the eyes themselves. The greater the degree of intelligence, which intelli- gence is so frequently depicted in the countenance, the less likely is the horse to be erratic or unsteady, and we believe that in almost every example of a stallion that was reliable and inclined to stick to a trot there could be found the broad forehead and an attractive countenance. Rattle-headed horses usually are narrow between the eyes and in other ways indi- cate outwardly their lack of intelligence, and not in- frequently breeders can determine at a very early age in the horse whether or not there is a lack of intelli- gence and what the disposition of the horse will be. o THE SALE A GOOD ONE. A New York paper contained the following com- ment on the recent Old Glory sale: "Every horse offered to the anxious buyers was knocked down at its full value, and consignors re- turned home more than satisfied with the values they received. If the general average for the nine days did not come up to that of former years, it was due wholly to the quality of the stock offered. "Perhaps the most singular incident in connection with this year's sale was the unprecedented fact that THE CLEVELAND DRIVING CLUB. The annual table of statistics of the last matinee season- of the Cleveland Gentlemen's Driving Club has been issued. Orrin C. led the trotters, with nine firsts out of fifteen starts, being second six times. Interurban was second with six victories and three seconds in thirteen starts, while Nanco was first six times out of nine. Prince of Orange was first six times out of seven, and Belle Sentinel five times out of ten Out of the forty- eight trotters who competed all but eleven succeeded in winning blue ribbons. The pacing brigade consisted of only fifteen side- wheelers, all but one taking off one or more blue ribbons. Dutch Mowrey led with eight wins and four seconds in thirteen starts. Slippery Higglns was the most consistent saddle trotter, winning six times in fourteen starts. Joe Jokes won five times out of eleven starts and Flim Flam, alias Colonel Longwell, won four blue ribbons in nine starts. H. K. Devereux was the winning reinsman and driver with fifty-three firsts in ninety-six starts. C- K. G Billings was second with eighteen firsts in twenty-three starts, while John Ray was third with thirteen firsts in twenty-seven starts. H. A. Watter- sori drew eleven firsts in twenty-eight starts. The 2:04 of Lou Dillon was the fastest heat trotted while 2.03 made by Morning Star, son of Star Pointer, was the fastest mile paced; 2:43 was the slowest heat trotted. The fastest average was 2:15, the record for the next to the last matinee. The season's average was 2:21. This average was slower than in other years, this being due to the fact that the club catered more to the slower classes. During the season there were 116 events with 2S6 heats and 396 starters. SUCCESSFUL FAIR SEASON. A farm paper published in the Mississippi valley says : Our readers have just passed through one of the most successful seasons of agricultural education ever experienced by even the oldest citizen. The fairs both large and small have been well patronized by exhibit- ors and visitors. The disposition t^ Improvement has never been more pronounced in all lines of agricultural work. Each department of farm work has its adher- ents who carry on the campaign of education in the interest of the specialty or particular industry repre- sented. The agricultural fair of the present day may very properly be termed thp modern agricultural object lesson school. It is through these lessons by compari- son of objects, animals and things that the fair visitor becomes a student, a judge, a discriminator in quality between the various competitive exhibits. This train- ing is involuntary; it creeps itno the mind unob- served, and the first knowledge the person has that he is being educated is in his asserting that "This is the best," or "That is my choice." "I would not give this cow for half a dozen of the others," etc. The intelligent man, woman, boy or girl who at- tends one of these well managed county, district, or state fairs and comes away saying he or she is not greatly benefited does not express their honest senti- ment. The agricultural fair of the present day is the greatest educator we have in practical farm produc- tion. No one appreciates this more than the agricul- tural newspaper man, who attends this shows from the beginning to the end of the fair season and ob- serves the people and talks to them of the impressions formed. While everyone who attends the fair gains some advantage by the association or impressions made, the exhibitor comes more directly under the educational influence of the fair, and consequently reaps a greater benefit If you are not already associated with the county agricultural society take up the work at once. Help organize and prepare to hold a fair next year. The county association is the primary school for the train- ing of our best exhibitors and fair men.

Never before in all the history of the standard bred horse has such a group of champion stallions been owned on one stock farm as are now stabled at the International Stock Food Farm. Dan Patch 1:55%, champion of all pacers, Cresceus 2:02%, the champion ttlng stallion, Directum 2:05% whose record made ac four years has never been equalled by a trotter of thai age, and Arion 2:07% whose two-year-old record of 2:10% £tin stands unapproached, even though it was made with the old fashioned high wheels. Two present day champions, the ex-champion trotter that holds the four-year-old championship, and the holder of the record for trotting two-year-olds. Each stallion is not only a king by performance but each r, - lifferent family of trotters. Dan Patch sanies the pennant of the great tribe of Wilkes, - eus that of the McGregors, Directum upholds the banner of the Dictators and Arion that of the Electioneers Mr. M. W. Savage, president of the International Stock Food Company, is the man whose enterprise and great business ability has built up one of the largest establishments of the Mississippi val- ley by just such daring enterprise as led him to buy Dan Patch for a large amount and follow it in suc- ceeding years by the acquirement of the three addi- tional champions. The history of Dan Patch is known to all horse- men. He was sired by the mighty Joe Patchen 2:01% and his dam is Zelica by Wilkesberry 13.953. his sec- ond dam by Pacing Abdallah. No stallion that ever lived has approached his performances. He has paced thirty-six miles in 2:-01^ to 1:55%, and has paced nine miles that average 1:57%. He paced six miles this year that averaged 1:58. and wound up his campaign by starting against the record of Star Po.nter made with no runner in front and reduced it a second and a quarter. This year he left stud service on June 15th, up to which time he had been mated with fifty- two mares. He made his first exhibition in Septem- ber, pacing the mile in 1.59^2. a marvelous perform- ance. During the year he broke four world's records, and tlie Canadian half mile track record, traveled 6.000 miles in sixty-six days, and finished the season stiong, vigorous, in perfect condition and very prom- ising for speed exhibitions next year. He is not only the greatest race horse and exhibition horse in the country (having drawn 250,000 to see him in four days his year), but he is a great sire He already has a 2:10 performer in Ed. Patch 2:08%, and two of his get are expected to beat 2:05 next year. He has more miles in two minutes to his credit that all other trotters and pacers that ever lived. He never lost a race. Like the great Eclipse it was invariably Dan first and the rest nowhere, and it made no differ- ence how fast they went, he could play with all of them in the last half. Mr. Savage was offered and refused the immense sum of $180 000 for him this year, which offer was made by a syndicate of horse- men. Directum 2.05% did not appear in the racing world with a preliminary flourish of trumpets. He was bred by John Green of Dublin, Cal., and foaled in 1889. When broken to harness, he showed the first time he stepped off that the mantle of speed had fallen on his shoulders; that he was a true son of the great black stallion that made a sensational campaign in 1883 in the East. Even on the lookout for fresh material and fully recognizing the great capabilities of the Director family, Monroe Salisbury leased the racing qualities of Directum, quietly brought him East the spring of 1S92 and made a name for him in the very first race in which he started. There were no ante- campaign stories of the wonderful speed of the black three-year-old. He came unheralded, and the first heat he trotted in a contested race convinced those who witnessed his performance that "the king-maker" had brought out another world's champion. That year and the next Drectum went through two marvelous campaigns, that of 1893 being the greatest ever under- taken by a four-year-old, meeting and defeating every good one in his class, closing the season with the world's record for trotting stallions, which he held for seven long years. That year his speed was a revelation and his .ourage a marvel to horsemen. Singly or in battalions, Directum was more than a match for all. As a four-year-old he started in seven races, winning all of them, and gave five exhibitions against time, lowering the stallion record as follows: At Evans- vllle, In 1.. to 2:07»A; at New York to 2:07; at St. Joseph. 2:06^. and at Chicago, to 2:06^. Finally, at Nashvilli Tenn., he electrified the world by winning the third heal of the free-for-all in 2:05%. It was expected that he would prove a great sire, but he has even exceeded these expectations. He is new the sire of twenty-eight standard performers, of which four are in the 2:10 list. Cn ceus 2:02%, bought at the Old Glory Sale in New York last month for $21,000, is the greatest bargain any breeder has secured in years. It is un- isary to stop and enumerate his long list of world Everybody knows them by heart, i i one great thing that any other trotting stallion en greater. His med with sins, but one of which won:, en1 to confei celebrity on any other horse. With him only parts of a "stupendous whole"- a greatti , ne ., s\an^ -m ■ "■ a lion li irage, a phenomenon in con- earlng power. In the sum of their atti- butes, some horses— as some men — seem to transcend the limits which nature, as we conceive it, has set. i i Evi i yrom . amlts this. It can no) be den i. And out of it all stands this one important fact' that he is a stallion— The only stal- lion that ever has held the world's trotting record. Yet, thai I may be recalled more forcibly, we give herewith some brief statistics: As a three-year-old he secured a record of 2:11% in a race against eleven of the best aged trotters of that year. There were eight heats in the race and Cresceus won the last three heats, trotting the seventh and eighth in 2.11%. As a four-year-old he reduced his record to 2:09%, as a five-year-old to 2:07%, as a six- year-old to 2:04, as a seven-year-old to 2:02%, which made him then the champion trotter of the world, and the next year when he was eight he made that wonderful performance at Memphis, where he trotted two miles in 4:17, also a world's record. Volunteer says: To doubt of Cresceus' success as a sire — why, if one stops to think of it, the very idea is absurd! — false to every fact and theory, opposed alike to reason, precedent and logic. Look down the list of previous champion stallions and observe what great sires practically all have made. Consider then Cresceus' rank among them; consider his breeding — by one of the greatest progenitors and out of one of the greatest matrons known to stud history; look at the horse himself — an individual upon whom power and greatness are so legibly stamped as to be at once impressively apparent — and ask yourself the question, not will he succeed as a sire, but — how on earth can he do anything else? There is another potent reason why Cresceus is bound to prove a great sire. That reason is. because he is the greatest representative of one of the greatest strains of blood in the trotting peerage. Aside from Robert McGregor, there are only three progenitors that have sired five or more sons that have each sired a better than 2:09 trotter — George Wilkes, Electioner and Hambletonian 10. It is with this immortal trio — all of them older than him and belonging to senior generations — that Robert McGregor, in this respect, is alone, of all sires entitled to rank. Could anything speak more eloquently of the immense potency and value of the McGregor blood in the male line? Yet, remarkable as the fact may seem, there is not today a son of Robert McGregor in any of the great studs of this country, where he is being given opportunity to perpetuate the blood. If other sons of Robert Mc- Gregor, standing in the. "tall grass" remote from the great breeding centers, can get such trotters as Snyder McGregor 2:05%, and Kid Shea 2:07%, what will Cresceus do placed where he belongs, at the head of a great stud of America's choicest matrons? Arion 2:07% is the pride of California. As a two- year-old, he trotted in 2.10%, to high-wheel sulky, a performance that has stood as the world's record for trotters of that age since 1S91, the nearest approach to it being 2:13%. As a three-year-old, he set the world's trotting record of 2:10*4 for colts of that age. No three-year-old stallion has equaled or beaten it. As a four-year-old, he won the Spirit of the Times stake, $11,000, for four-year-old trotters, defeating Trevil- lian 2:0S%; Belleflower 2:12%; Czar, and Parole. Trotted a record mile in 2:07%. In these days of ex- treme speed, when record after record goes down each year before the onslaught of champions, it is unusual to see a world's record of any kind stand unassailed for thirteen years. And yet the two-year- old record of the world still stands where the peerless Arion set it in 1S91. His mile in 2:10% as a two-year- old stands pre-eminently at the head of all trotting performances. The miles of Lou Dillon, Creceus and others pale into insignificance when compared with it, and it seems to be the universal. opinion that his rec- ord will stand for years and years to come. Even when a two-year-old does trot a mile in 2:10%, it will be to "bike" sulky and allowance must be made before the glory of Arion's performance fades Since the day Arion trotted that sensational mile, he has been con- stantly before the public. His sale for $125,000 still stands a world's record; his three-year-old record of 2:10^ has never been equaled by a colt, and his four- year-old mark of 2:07% surpassed by but few stal- lions. His opportunities in the stud have been most limited — only those in close touch with conditions can appreciate how limited — yet he. has sired twenty- seven with standard records, among them the great trotter, Nico 2:0S%, while one of his daughters has produced the peerless and lamented Sadie Mac 2:06% and another, that great young trotter Todd 2:14%. The International Stock Food Farm contains 700 acres and is not only the home of Dan Patch 1:55%, Cresceus 2:02%, Directum 2:05% and Arion 2:07% but of Ed Patch 2:08%, Roy "Wilkes 2:06^: and But- tonwood 2: 17. The farm is ten miles from the city limits of Minne- apolis on the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis % Omaha Railroad and the station at the farm is named Savage. The farm is beautifully situated in the Minnesota Val- ley, watered by a sparkling trout stream that never freezes in the winter and twenty-five springs. The Minnesota River rtows through the farm so that it can be reached by either boat or cars. The barn on the farm cost over fifty thousand dol- lars and contains over two hundred box stalls. The mile track was built by Mr. Seth Griffin at a cost of eighteen hundred dollars and is an exact reproduction of the celebrated Memphis track A one-mile covered track will be built next year. There are about 100 high class brood mares, twelve of which are 2:10 producers; forty others are producers. This farm was started with the expecta- tion of not only showing what Minnesota could do in raising high class harness horses, but also as a fairly equipped experimental farm to show the value of In- ternational Stock Food. All the stallions, brood mares and colts are fed International Stock Food every day. Cresceus has been taken in hand by Mr. Hersey and is now being prepared with a view of breaking his record next fall, and Mr. Savage expects both Dan l';itrh and Cresceus to lower their present records in the fall of 1906. A large majority of horse owners, drivers and horse breeding farms are now constant users of Interna- tional Stock Food and its use is strongly endorsed by the old veteran. Monroe Salisbury. International Stock Food has had for years a large sale In the extreme western states, but for the pur- pose of more thoroughly pushing the sale of Inter- national Stock Food and their other preparations on this Coast, Mr. C. E. Veeder, who has been in the employ of the International Stock Food Company at the home office and factory, Minneapolis, for ten years, has recently been appointed resident agent. For the present, mail will reach him addressed care of the Petaluma Incubator Company, Petaluma, Cal., or Portland Seed Company, Portland, Ore. IMPROVEMENT IN BIKES. W. J. Kenney, the well known proprietor of the Kenney Bicycle Company at 532 Valencia street, re- cently returned from an extended trip through the principal states on the other side of the Rocky Moun- tains, and gives us the following interesting account of his observations. "During my two months' trip through the eastern country I visited ail the principal race tracks and speedways of the country, and practically all the fac- tories where track sulkies, sped carts and speed wagons are made. I must say they are making great wagons are elegantly ing. The new speed road brushing and train- almost exclusively for and road carts are used all the other cities speed Boston, while in nearly Cleveland, Detroit and speedways of New York, proper thing on the speed wagon is the only these vehicles. The improvements in all made affairs, with high arch axies, low wheels, long shafts, and are very light weight, being from 65 to 125 pounds. As they are now made they are very strong and durable, however, and a horse can trot or pace almost as fast in them as he can to the track sulky. For a stylish rig one of these wagons, driven by a handsome horse, can't be beat, and when our oval speed track in Golden Gate Park is finished, which will be about the first of next June, these speed wagons are certain to be all the go with San Francisco members of the matinee clubs. "Radical changes are being made in sulky con- struction in nearly all the large factories. The new models for next year will have shafts about seven inches longer on the average, the arches will be dropped 35 and 33 inches, and some as low as 29. All the first-class makers are substituting second- growth hickory for arch and bow instead of using steel tubing. This is a big improvement in itself, and all the builders now realize that to be fast and durable the wheels of a sulky must be kept in per- fect line. "The McMurray sulky has a very clever device for this purpose, which is an exclusive patent of the company's and is invaluable, as when a sulky has had a bad wrench from accident or any cause, anyone can line up the wheels with this device in a few minutes. The only tool needed is a monkey wrench "The changes in speed carts for track work are many. There are longer shafts, dropped seat, wider •wheel centers, and many other new features which will please the lovers of a good horse. "On all the leading tracks and at all the big busi- ness centers there is a very optimistic feeling in re- gard to harness racing. The owners and trainers were at the Old Glory sale in force and a very large pro- portion of the horses purchased during the two weeks' auction were bought by persons who will have them raced on some of the many circuits next year." The Members of the California Polo and Pony Racing Association held a meeting at the office of President Rudolph Spreckels Monday. It was de- cided to pass over the election of officers until the next meeting, when many of the members that are now out of town will be back. Plans were discussed for a race meet to- be held on Charles W. Clark's track at San Mateo on New Tear's day. There will be five races, a three-eighths, a quarter mile, a half mile, a three-quarter mile, and a three mile event. The lat- ter contest will be for hunters and it is expected that many of the membrs of the San Mateo Hunt Club will enter their mounts. There is some prospect that the scene of the pony racing will shift at the end of February to Coronado. The racing association at that place is making a strong bid for the stables of the California Association. DISTEMPER AND COUGHS CUBED. Golds in animals if neglectc-d are apt to result seri- ously. They can be as readi.y cured as in the human family. If your horses cough and are out of condi- tion, ^better give Craft's Distemper and Cough Cure a trial before they come down to distemper. This well known remedy is one of the very best available, and is fully guaranted to cure coughs, colds, distemper, pink- eye, and all catarrhal diseases of horses, sheep and dogs. It will pay well to have on hand at all times a bottle of this invaluable remedv. It is made bv the Wells Medicine Co.. 13 Third street. Lafavette. Ind., and their book, "Veterinary Pointers," tells ail about it. It also gives valuable veterinary information about the care of horses, how to tell distemper, nursing, etc. A postal card will bring it. and any of our readers who send for it -will certainly- feel well repaid for the postal card and the little time that it takes. "KNOWS OP NOTHING AS GOOD." Mr. J. T. Taylor of Cle Elum, Wash- writes as fol- lows: "In my opinion QUINN'S OINTMENT is the best remedy there is ,to remove bunches. I removed a large bunch from a horse's forehead that seemed to be solid bone; and one as large as a man's head from another horse's shoulder; have removed four or five other bunches from horses." This is the general verdict of leading horsemen all over the countrj-. For curbs, splints, spavins, windpuffs and all bunches there is noth- ing better. Price One Dollar per bottle delivered.

Eight ago, Mr. Martin Carter of Irvlngton, Alameda county. California, sent his mare. Lida W. to be bred to William Corbitfs premier stal- lion Guv Wilkes 2:15%. At that time Guy Wilkes was commanding; a service fee of $250. and in the esti- n of men who had given the subject of breeding trotting horses more than passing attention was the q California. Mr. Carter's mare was by Nutwood 2:18%, out of a mare by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 2:27, her gran dam a noted running mare of the days of California racing known as Rebel Daughter, and sired by that "Godolphin of the Wilder- Uo borrow a term from Capt. Tom Merry), known as Williamson's Belmont. Lida W had a race I of 2:18%, and could speed at a two minute clip. so Mr. Carter reckoned that the Nutwood-Patchen- ont blood in her veins, when combined with that , Wilkes, would produce something worth while. He was not disappointed. In the spring of 1S8S Lida W. foaled a handsome chestnut colt which was named Nutwood Wilkes, that his name might designate his breeding, and this horse is fulfilling every promise of the career outlined for him by his breeder. Mr. Carter to California with no capital but a knowledge of the wagon and cabinet making trade, a level head and a rugged constitution. He had learned when a youth that anything worth doing at all was worth doing well, and with his brother, the late Thomas Carter, began at Newark, in Alameda county, the building of cars for steam and cable roads. Carter Bros.' car shops soon grew to a large institution and did many thou- sands of dollars worth of business every year, turning out hundreds of cars annually Having acquired a fortune in this enterprise. Mr. Martin Carter concluded to retire from active business soon after the death of his brother, and now lives upon the farm near Ir- vington. where his family of four grown sons were born and raised. tl was about a quarter of a century ago that Mr. Carter began breeding a few trotters as a recreation and pleasure, and he followed the same plan that had made him successful in car building; he used nothing but the best materials and combined them in a way where in his opinion every part would fill the place for which it was best fitted. Nutwood Stock Farm, which was the name given this farm of betwreen three and four hundred acres of fine land, achieved success from the very first, and from it have come many cham- pions, and now in his days of retirement from active business Mr. Carter is devoting more of his time than ever to superintending the breeding and training of the produce of his stallions and brood mares. Few men engaged in the breeding of the American trotting and pacing horse have started out with the broad minded ideas which have governed Mr. Carter all through life. He has never been kept back by the idea that there was no other high class blood than that on his farm, but has been a liberal purchaser at sales, and sent his mares to stallions in all parts of the State that in his opinion, formed after much study and observation, were the most likely to aid in building up and improving the stock he owned. Mares from Nutwood Stock Farm have been sent to such stallions as. Director, McKinney, Zombro, Zolock, Stam B., Searchlight- Bonnie Direct, Direct, Directum, Kin- ney Lou and/many others that might be mentioned, and the first mare to be mated with the great race horse Star Pointer 1:59*4 on his arrival in California was a mare owned by Mr Carter. He has also ac- quired by purchase mares with the blood of Elec- tioneer. Steinway" and other high class sires, until there is now at the farm as choice a collection of well bred colts and fillies as can be found on any farm in America. Nutwood Farm is strong in what Its owner - calls the blood of the "Big Four" — Geo. Wilkes, Electioneer, Director and Nutwood. Nutwood Wilkes, the premier of this farm, is now 17 years of age, and some idea of his splendid propor- tions, his youthful appearance and his beautifully rounded form can be obtained from the picture which occupies the center of the opposite page. The pho- tograph of which this picture is a reproduction was on Sunday, the third of this month, by the writer, and has had no retouching, so that the reader idge for himself what a well preserved and fine looking stallion Nutwood Wilkes is at the age of een years. He is strong and vigorous as a colt Hne a type of the American trotting stallion as one would wish to see. It was at Petaluma in 1S96 that Nutwood Wilkes took his record of 2:16% in a race he won in straight In that race he beat Mamie Griffin 2:12, Clay S. 2:13%, Stella 2.15, Myrtle Thorne 2:18 and Chari- vari 2:20%, one of the best fields of trotters out that He was a game race horse! much faster than his record, and but for an accident would have had a record of 2:10. it i how* er, his accomplishments as 'hat most interests us now His first standard red In 1S97 and he now has to his ndard 'performers.

BOB INGERSOLL 2:14%. Here are ten horses with records below 2:15, five of them trotters. Three three year old trotters that held the records for the year of their sex. Is there another stallion that has sired three three year old trotters with race records below 2:14? If so his name cannot be recalled by the writer at this time. It was in 1S9S that the bay colt John A. McKerron was taken east. He had a record of 2.24% as a two year old, made the previous year, and this he reduced to 2:12% at Louisville, where he met the best colts of the year. An eastern writer thus describes him: This race, w^hile a losing performance, was the" strongest evidence of the colt's superb courage and real class, for never had a trotter suffered at the hands of his trainer more hardships than he, or been put to more heartrending tasks under the most unfa- vorable circumstances. Notwithstanding a course of training that was conducive to an early break down and one which in nine esses out of ten would have so shattered the constitution of the horse as to ren- der his future valueless for racing purposes, he wrent into winter quarters very low in flesh, weak from ex- cessive training, yet despite his worn-out appearance there was nothing to indicate unsoundness or break- down At this stage of his career his real capacity had attracted the attention of Mr. H. K. Devereux of Cleveland, and so thoroughly impressed was. he With the colt's rare courage, his purity of gait and his marvelous flight of speed that he determined to be- come the owner of such a rare combination of good qualities, even though unkind fate had brought the horse into a condition little short of a wrreck. After, buying the "colt his new owner determined upon" a' course that seemed to him the only means by which the trotter could be brought back to his normal con- dition, and so firmly did he adhere to his original re- solve that the stallion recovered from the ill effects of his hard usage and developed into the superb trot- ter that he is today, physically perfect and developed into a horse of great substance and rare quality. Mr. Devereux allowed the horse to have a complete rest in his four year old form, and it was not until 1S99 that the stallion was asked to show his real ca- pacity under favorable circumstances. For the first time in his life he was given a careful preparation, was properly shod, and driven with judgment, and as a result he improved rapidly, and in August trotted in 2:09% in a matinee at Cleveland. That season he won the first race for the Boston Challenge Trophy, which race was destined to become the most brilliant series of amateur contests ever inaugurated, and which races have given races for pleasure an impetus that nothing else could have accomplished. In the race at Readvilie John A. McKerron met and de- feated the very fast gelding Senator L , and the time of the fastest heat, 2:10, equaled the race record for that style of contest. At the close of that year this stallion clearly demonstrated that he was a trot- ter of extraordinary merit, and that his future was to be an especially brilliant one. for rarely, if ever, had there been seen a trotter with such faultless action, such perfect manners, and such a superb way of go- ing. In his six year old form he early showed a marked improvement over his previous best form, and in addition to winning the second race for the Boston Cup, which he succeeded in doing with consummate ease, in comparatively slow time, he lowered his rec- ord to 2:06%, and at once became a formidable can- didate for championship honors. In 1902 he received a special preparation for what was destined to be the most brilliant contest ever indulged in by amateur racing men. and long before the race itself took place trotting enthusiasts were keyed to a degree of in- terest never before shown in any race between light harness horses. This was the third and what proved to be the final race for the Boston Trophy, and de- veloped into the most spectacular and thrilling- of the three contests that decided the ownership of the handsome cup that was offered by the Boston Driving Club. The day of the race found public opinion united on the chances of Lord Derby, for while The Monk had a few weeks previous shown rare form, he lacked the bloom that goes with perfect condition. John A. McKerron on that day was infinitely the superior of either of his opponents, and his victory was such a de- cisive one that it left no room for doubt as to which was the greatest matinee trotter that had been seen. In this race he fairly out-trotted Lord Derby, which horse had shown greater flights of speed than even the champion Cresceus himself, and yet which was unable to stand the pressure of having McKerron carry him a half very close to one minute. During the October meeting at Lexington the stallion gave an exhibition of the greatest flight of speed that had ever been seen, by trotting the first half in 1:00% under restraint. At Memphis he trotted an evenly rated mile in 2:05%, after which he was shipped to Kentucky and given the benefit of a winter at Wal- nut Hall He wintered splendidly, and in the spring was a better horse than ever, carrying more flesh, and to all appearances was ready for the supreme ef- fort of his life. Some time before the Readvilie meet- ing he developed a slight splint, which pained him considerably, and although he trotted a mile at that meeting in 2:04%, was far from being at his best, and his performance at Syracuse, soon after, in which he trotted in 2:04%, was, all things considered, one of the most brilliant exhibitions "of 'speed and courage ever seen, as he labored under almost every disadvantage, owing to the flint-like condition of the track, which aggravated the soreness An his leg. It was this mile more than anything he had ever done before that con- vinced all who saw him that the stallion was capable of approximating, if not equalling, the then existing stallion record, and whether or not he succeeds in jus- tifying the belief in his capacity will depend only on his condition, for his speed and courage are unques- tioned. This year another three year old by Nutwood Wilkes trotted himself right into the limelight. As a two year old he had started in the Breeders' Futurity for colts of that age, and though very short of work had won the first heat in 2:24 and been close up in the remaining heats in faster time. This year he was better prepared for his first start, and when the Pacific Breeders' Futurity was .trotted at Santa Rosa he won so handily in three .straight heats' in the fast time of 2.13%, 2:13% and^.2:16 that his great merit as a colt trotter was immediately recognized by every horseman who saw him" win ^Ib impressively. ^ Two weeks elapsed before his next start, which was in the Occident Stake on the opening day of the Cali7 fornia State Fair. For three days, previous to .thi| race his trainer, Chas. Whitehead, was very sick and unable to work or drive the gelding. The result? w=§& North Star was a little rank and when the race was started Whitehead, after falling to secure another driver, got up behind him, but found it difficult in his weakened condition to hold North Star to his gait during the first three heats .The colt had all his speed, however, and although ..jnaking disastrous breaks in each of these miles finished a good second every time and in the fourth heat-trotted the mile in 2:15%, the fastest heat in the .history of the stake, and won handily. The next two heats and the race and first and third money were his. -. . One week later he started in the Stanford Stake. Again was he returned a winner, and although losing the first heat to Athasham by a break, took the nexi three easily and placing first, third and fourth moneys to the credit of his owner. North Star is a largecolt, standing slightly over six- teen hands. He has a most powerful shoulder with great depth through the heart, and his hind quarters are muscular and well developed, although his greai. development forward would cause an inexperienced person to say he was light behind. He has a tre- mendous stride, with much action, and when at speed his gait is regular as clock work. That he is one of the fastest three year olds ever foaled is proven by his two heats in 2: 13% in his first race this year. He was in condition to lower this mark at Sacra- mento had the new track not been so heavy and cuppy as to prevent fast time, but his fourth heat in the Occident in 2:15% is considered by many horsemen as good as 2:11% over a fairly good track. That he has gameness and great endurance was proven in the same race, his sixth heat in 2:1S% being a wonderful performance under the conditions for any three year old. North Star is the greatest money winning three year old ever raced in California, is the only colt that ever won all three of the leading three year old stakes annually trotted in this state, and has the fastest mile by a three year old gelding in the United States to his credit this year. Chas. "Whitehead considers him the greatest three year old he has ever seen and be- lieves he could be fitted for a mile in 2:10 or better on any good track. He should trot in 2:05 or better as an aged horse. On the Nutwood Stock Farm at the present time are quite a number of youngsters, among which are the following: WEANLINGS.

There are quite a number of two year olds on the farm, a few of which are being handled under Mr. Carter's immediate direction. As soon as they are broken and show evidence of speed they will be sent into a professional trainer's hands. Mr. Carter has two young stallions of his own breed- ing that he is using in the stud T.

When the writer first drifted into Wyoming, thirty tie was of the opinion that the broncho ridera ins, hardened by the work they had to perform, would make exceptionally fine soldiers es- Lvalry branch of the service. After mixing with these hardy plainsmen on the ranches, on the train, around the ramp fires, and on the round- ups it was found that a mistake had been made. The writer does not wish to convey the impression that a oes not know how to care for and manage a horse; that he does not know how to handle ms, or that he lacks nerve, for there is no clasS of men who can teach the cowboy anything one or the other. Experience has taught us that it takes a certain amount of drill and dis- cipline to make what an army officer would call a good d it is on the matter of discipline that the plainsmen would buck the hardest. In the first place, boy would not stand for the airs put on by the snavetJ nts fresh from the military academy at West Point, nor would he submit to a form and spirit of domination and discipline on the part of his so-, tiled superiors which is not found in any other sphere of life or service.. No matter what his char- acter or attainments may be, the private soldier gets no social recognition among h:s superiors, and none know this belter than the plainsmen. Under the con- ditions now prevailing, especially in the regular army, it is absolutely inconceivable how any American citizen possessed of character, self-respect, indepen- dent spirit, and a fair degree of ambition, could wish to enter the service, when he could hire out to a cat- tleman and punch cattle or break horses for thrice the pav offered a soldier by the Government. Should the cowboy become dissatisfied with the work on a cer- tain ranch, he !s at liberty to pack up his things and quit on half an hour's notice. If he did this while in the army, and was apprehended and brought bae*. as a deserter, he would be court-martialed and sen- tenced to serve several years in one of Uncle Sam's military prisons When it comes to a comparison between the cow- boy and the soldier for actual fighting and hard serv- ice, matched against either Indians or the well-drilled troops of any nation, the American cowboy can hold his own with any of them — "and then some." They may not stand at attention and salute their leaders. as soldiers are reqjired to do; "they may enter the conflict with shirts open at the neck and sleeves rolled up, and they may maintain little, if any, formation when charging the enemy, but results are what count in a battle, and that is where the cowboy would shine the brightest. If allowed to select their own mounts and firearms, a band of 250 cowboys would test the bravery of a regiment of trained soldiers, but they certainly would not enlist in the army unless they were offered a decent rale of pay and the assurance of such treatment as self-respecting, honorable, and faithful men are entitled to receive. Snobbishness on the part of superiors, petty and needless restric- tions and regulations, offensive and irritating exhibi- tions of authority would not be endured by this class of men. While Uncle Sam provides his troopers with a complete outfit, including horses, clothing, arms, am- munition, camp equipage and saddle equipments of all kinds, when they join the regiment to which they have been assigned, a cowboy is expected to furnish everything but the horses he is to use in his work. The broncho rider is naturally proud of his outfit, for the reason that it indicates, in a great measure, his standing among his associates. First of all he needs a saddle, which will cost from $40 to $75, ac- cording to the amount of fancy work on it. It is not outfit. A piece of canvas for this purpose can be bought for $4 or $5, and will last for years. A good bridle with a "spade" or "half breed" bit, wiH cost all the way from $10 to $25. The "ring" or "snaffle" bits so common in the East, are not used by the plainsmen, being of no value to them in handling unmanageable horses. An ordinary pair of spurs can be purchased for $2.50, though it frequently happens that $10 to $15 is paid for a pair by a ten- derfoot desiring to attract attention. Unless he pos- sessed a lariat, a cowboy would be like a barn with- out a door. A forty-foot riata, made of the best rawhide, costs from $S to $12, while a cheaper kind, made of woven linen, can be had for $3.50 or $4. A hackamore, or halter, costs from $3 to $7, and la always used when breaking horses. When a cowboy is told to take a horse from one ranch or camp to another, he usually throws the lariat over the ani- mal's neck and starts on his journey, confident that he will have a live horse on the end of the rope when he reaches his destination. A quirt, or what a tenderfoot styles a. "whip," costs from $1 to $3 each, and a pair of 16-inch saddle pock- RANCH n >R£M A N A X! > < '< )WBOYS an '■'■■ al Ll i ■ to boy to pay from $<; to $10 Cor a Navajoe Indian hlank'-t I'm li.s h"r>-<\ wliiln he i perfectlj satisfied to use his saddle for a pillow eep under a common woolen blanket costing 1.60 t<» $3. Nearly all cowboys, whether on duty at the home 0) on the round-up, have a pi ;ce of heavy can- it the size of a bed-sheet, which they use ■•• to a tent. While al the ranch It is usually thrown over the hunk, but on the round-up II ' pri ad "ii the ground, one-half being pulled over the bedding, forming a sorl of sleeping bag, to keep out the rain or heavy dew. When ready to break camp, the cowboy rolls his blankets [n the canvas, the roll securely with a couple of straps and the bundle into the wagon accompanying the duck canvas. The rooms are all on the ground floor, the number depending upon the men to be accommo- dated, with a couple of spare rooms for emergencies. As the ranch is invariably a long distance from a set- tlement, the mail is usually sent for once a week. While the cowboy's correspondence is not large, an eastern man would be surprised at the number oi magazines and newspapers received at the ranches, which enables the men to keep thoroughly posted on the events of the day. Some of the reading matter is sent by friends, but much of it is forwarded by the cattlemen, who usually make their headquarters in towns like Buffalo, Casper, Laramie City or Chey- enne, which enables them to keep in closer touch with the outside world and order shipments of cattle when the market price reaches a tempting figure During the winter months only one or two horses are kept up for each man remaining on the ranch, the others being turned out to "tramp" for a living until spring. The men selected to remain on the ranch over winter are, as a rule, those who have worked for the owner for years and who are known to be reliable and trustworthy. They are required to look after the COWBOYS MEETING OLD INDIAN FRIENDS ON THE STREETS OF CHEYENNE ets, if made of black Angora and fur trimmed, will take the best part of a ten-dollar bill. These pockets are almost indispensible, for it is in these that the cowboy carries many useful articles, among which may be found a comb, tooth brush, a deck of cards, tobacco and cigarette papers, a few love letters, a novel or two, and occasionally a flask containing a few doses of "snake poison." A pair of oil tanned California calfskin chaparajos, or 'chaps," which serve a good purpose in cold and disagreeable weather, can be purchased for $12.50, but if made of Angora goat, the amount mentioned should be doubled. No cowboy ever thinks of wearing shoes or the reg- ulation army leggins. Boots, costing from $7 to $10 per pair, are always worn, and are often found on the cowboy while asleep. The cowboy who would wear a pair of Arctic overshoes, even though the weather be cold and the snow deep, would be tossed in a blanket and drummed out of camp. No matter how cold the weather may get, the cowboy scorns the use of an overcoat. A heavy short coat is pre- ferred, and a "slicker," used to keep out the cold in winter and the rain during the summer, is always strapped to the saddle. A curry-comb is something a cowboy has little or no use for, hence it -would be a waste of money, as well as a disappointment to the man, should he dis- cover one in the "Christmas box" packed and for- warded to him by admiring friends in the East. A pair of nippers, a hammer and a few staples should always be carried in the saddle pockets Ten or fifteen years ago, when the ranges were open and a fence could not be found in a day's travel, these articles were not included in the cowboys' outfit, but now, with nearly every quarter section of land fenced with barbed wire, the plainsman must either cut his way through or ride many miles out of his line of travel. When a cattleman hires a cowboy, it goes without saying that he is to feed him, and it is perhaps un- necessary to mention the fact that the cook gets the choicest parts which the range affords when fresh meat is desired. Supplies are kept in large quanti- ties at what is termed the "home ranch," over which presides a first-class cook whose salary ranges from $40 to $50 per month. For breakfast he usually serves hot biscuit, flapjacks, bacon, or ham and eggs, fried potatoes and coffee. Dinner consists of either fresh meat for pork, potatoes, canned tomatoes and corn, dried apples or peaches, pie and coffee. Sup- per is usually served about sunset, and consists of a stew of some kind, coffee, and either stewed prunes, apples or peaches. Eggs, butter and vegetables are found in abundance at the home ranch, and a meal fit for a king often graces a table around which is gathered men who are ever ready to befriend the needy and protect the weak. The home ranch is uaually constructed of hewn logs, the rooms being large and lined with heavy stock; to haul hay to both horses and cattle after a heavy snow storm; bring in the young calves and care for them at the ranch during extreme cold weather; secure a supply of wood sufficient to last over the winter, and "ride the fence" two or three times a week, repairing it where broken and setting new posts where required. Situated fifty, sixty or one hundred miles from the nearest settlement, it occasionally becomes necessary for one of the men to ride that distance for a doctor, to attend a sick comrade or one who has met with an accident. Upon occasions of this kind every man is a volunteer, and though he may have to ride all night through rain, sleet or snow, following no road, carrying no compass, crossing streams and jumping ditches, with nothing to guide him save the stars or flashes of lightning, he never hesitates a second when he realizes that a human life is at stake. As the wages paid a "top" hand ranges from $30 to A COWBOY AND HIS MOUNT $40 per month, the reader may wonder how a cowboy can provide such an expensive outfit on such a small salary. A great many of the men draw no money for months at a time, for the reason that it would not benefit them if they did. The result is that from four to six months' salary is often obtained in a lump and is usually spent with a free hand. The prevailing idea that a cowboy wears long hair and a buckskin suit, and that he sleeps with a six- shooter in each hand, is far from correct. The cow- boy one meets on the plains wears a broad-brimmed hat, a blue flannel shirt, a short, heavily-lined coat, with trousers stuck in his boots, and he usually selects the best that money can buy. To offer him an um- brella, even in the worst weather, would be like flaunting a red rag before a mad bull. The so-called cowboys one sees in Wild West shows December 23, 1905] ©*te gveebev tm& gtipovt&tnatt 21 and dime museums, and often pictured in the illus- trated papers back East, are known upon the cattle ranges as "drags." They are hired during the spring round-up and while the shipping season is on, tor the purpose of herding the stock and caring for the cattle while in the cars. "While the "top hands" are selecting the cattle to be driven to a shipping point, cutting out an animal here and there, the "drags" prevent the breaking up and consequent scattering of the herd. In addition to this work they are detailed to guard the herd at night, and after three or four months' labor of this kind their services are no longer required. The moment they receive their pay checks they strike out for the nearest town, where they re- main as long as their money lasts, indulging in dissi- pation and having a good time. Occasionally one will wander back East and be picked up by some enter- prising dime museum manager, but as a rule they loaf around the frontier towns and wait for the next year's work to begin, accepting odd jobs for a small amount over their board. A six-shooter is a necessary companion for any man who is around cattle, no matter what his duties may be, for it very often happens that a cowboy is obliged to shoot a steer in order to save himself. When an attempt is being made to cut a steer out of a bunch, it will at times become wild with rage and attack both horse and rider. Wolves and coyotes frequently raid the herds and kill the calves unless the cattle are carefully guarded, and in riding across the prairie during the winter when the ground is covered with a foot of snow on the level, a cow-pony will often stumble into a badger or prairie dog hole and break its leg. In a case of this kind the animal is shot, the cowboy being obliged to pack his saddle until he can reach the nearest ranch and secure a fresh mount. The heavy work on the ranges commences about the first of May, for about that time the grass is good and the cowboys begin to gather up the horses that were turned out to "tramp" during the winter. As the cowboys who winter at the ranches have the pick of the horses, they are as a result the best mounted. Each man has what is styled a "string" of horses, numbering from eight to ten, which he alone rides during the summer. The remaining horses are known as the "benches," and are turned over to the "drags" to ride. As these horses are practically worthless for other work than herding, the "drag" stands in little danger of being bucked off every time a saddle is placed on the animal's back.. On the round-up it is an easy matter for the fore- man to distinguish the branded cattle from the mav- ericks, but the work of cutting out certain brands and branding the calves is no easy task for one who has not had experience in that line of work. The cows and the calves are run off into a bunch by them- selves, while the beef cattle are separated from them. Though it may not appear so, the branding of a calf is a simple matter when done by an expert. Three or four cowboys who are clever with the lasso rope and drag them to the fire, where the foreman puts whatever brand is necessary upon either the hip, side or shoulder, after which the calves are released and skip back to their mothers none the worse for the rough handling. With each round-up outfit are two wagons. In one the cook carries the grub necessary to provide the men with good, wholesome food, and over this wagon he is absolute monarch. The other contains the bed- ding and various necessities belonging to such a trip. If the round-up party belongs to a large company, additional wagons are provided. As soon as spring opens up the horses become frisky and are as playful as kittens There are some who do not fancy their playfulness, which usually consists of using all their strength and tricks to throw the rider. It is not every man who can remain in the saddle when a mean horse., or an "outlaw" is doing all that lies within him to unseat the rider, and it is a common occurrence to see half a dozen horses going one way with empty saddles, while a like number of tenderfeet take the opposite direction. The gathering together and shipment of the beef cattle requires skill, patience and experience. If the grass along the road is good, from ten to fifteen miles per day is made. Great care and good judgment is necessary in the drive, for a shrinkage of several hundred dollars in their market value will occur on the drive if the cattle are not handled properly. While one outfit is making the drive to the railroad, another is at work on the home ranch, preparing a second bunch, so that when the first outfit returns another is ready for them. These shipments continue until the howling winds and blinding snow storms force a cessation of the work. Then back to the home ranch the cowboys go, where they grease the backs of the horses where a sore is found, turn them loose for the winter, settle up accounts and start for the nearest town for a jollification and general good time. Those who are to remain on the ranch usually return in a week or two, while the others scatter in all directions and seek employment for the winter. The moment a band of cowboys enter a town they are immediately sized up by the city marshal and his deputies. So long as they conduct themselves properly, they are permitted to retain their revolvers, but when they undertake to create a rouch house, such as riding their horses into saloons, shooting bottles off the bar, or taking a few shots at an Eastern man because he wears a silk hat, the city marshal appears and puts an end to the fun. Occasionally the cowboys defy the officers, but in nine cases out of ten the former get the worst of it. In the early days, when the cowboys and the cat- tlemen made Cheyenne their headquarters, they had many exciting encounters with Jeff Carr and his little band of rangers. Carr was the city marshal, and his deputies were as brave as they were fearless. The marshal— a six-footer, well built, broad shouldered and as strong as an ox — feared no man or body of men. Upon one occasion a band of cowboys were camped near Cheyenne, holding a big herd of cattle. Nearly every man in the outfit, from the foreman to the cook, had at some time been behind the bars of the Cheyenne jail. One morning the foreman sent the marshal a note, stating that he and his cowboys would visit Cheyenne the next morning, to have a little fun, and that if the rangers were looking for trouble they could easily find it. Jeff Carr's answer, penned in a bold hand on a sheet of official paper, was that the men would not be molested so long as they behaved themselves, but that the whole outfit would be corraled if they attempted to "shoot up" the town. The cowboys regarded this as a challenge, and appeared in Cheyenne the next morning, twenty strong, each armed with a six-shooter and with belts filled with ammunition. As they rode down one of the main streets they noticed a number of horses tied to the hitching posts in front of the city jail, where two of their men were then confined. No attempt was made by the officers to stop pr disarm the cow- boys, who rode defiantly along Eddy street and stopped in front of "Red Mike's" saloon. Here they dismounted, entered the saloon and ordered the bar- keeper to set up the drinks for the crowd. This was done, not once but three or four times, when the proprietor called upon the leader for a settlement. This demand started the fun. No one was ever found who could or would tell who fired the first shot, but a good deal of shooting was done, not a bottle being left on or behind the counter. After cleaning out the place the cowboys helped themselves to cigars, mounted their ponies and started for the city jail, to liberate their two comrades who had been arrested the day before. Looking up Eddy street the leader made out the big form of Jeff Carr riding down the street on a gallop, a dozen deputies following him. The cowboys quickly formed in line across the street and prepared to resist any attempt JEFF CARR Cheyenne's Fearless Marshal to arrest them. For five minutes a pitched battle raged, no clubs or blank ammunition being used on either side. When the leader saw half of his men placed hors de combat, he waved his hat and dashed up Sixteenth street, followed by six or eight of his comrades. Close behind them was Jeff Carr and his band of fearless deputies. One of the rangers shouted to a cowboy well in the rear, warning him to halt, but no attention was paid to the command. Up went the ranger's Winchester, and down went horse and rider. Once, when the leader turned in the saddle to see how his men were faring, he looked into the muzzle of Carr's big revolver. "Stop that horse!" was the stern command. Before the leader could check the speed of his horse a lasso shot through the air, and in less time than it takes to tell it the rider was dragged from the animal's back, pounced upon by a couple of rangers and tied hand and foot. A few well-directed shots crippled the horses of the remaining cowboys, who were now sober enough to realize that resistance was useless. Ten minutes later the entire party, many of whom were badly wounded, were herded together and escorted to the city jail. Several of the cowboys were sent to the hospital under guard, to have their wounds dressed and stitches taken in their scalps, the remainder being handcuffed and placed behind the bars. As usual, the owner of the cattle came to the rescue of his men the next morning, when fines' were paid and fresh mounts secured for those who had their horses shot from under them, Jeff Carr and his rangers escorting the cowboys to the city limits be- fore returning their firearms. The above is only one of many such incidents which happened when Cheyenne was a "wild town," as well as other frontier towns in the early days, and it is safe to say that there is not a cowboy from Montana to the Gulf of Mexico who has not met or heard of the most fearless officer the West has ever produced — T. Jeff Carr. Mr. Carr still makes his headquarters in Cheyenne, where he has charge of the train guards who ride back and forth on the overland trains run- ning between Cheyenne and Ogden. Every year the cowboys arrange a carnival at some frontier town, and it is at these gatherings that the best riders the world can produce are to be found. The fun usually lasts four or five days, during which time the cowboys ride the worst "outlaws" to be found; they give exhibitions of skill in roping and tying wild steers; have a series of maverick brand- ing contests; rope and ride wild mustangs; plan at- tacks on the stage coach by Indians, and show their Eastern friends how a round-up party goes into and breaks camp. Arrangements are always made to have a band of Indians from the reservations present, and their war dances and pony races attract large crowds. During the carnival the cowgirls have their fun, run- ning races, riding bucking bronchos and going through the Virginia reel on horseback, a grand ball being given each evening. Notwithstanding all that has been written regard- ing the cowboys and the scrapes they get into at times, they are. by long odds, the most generous and kind-hearted lot of fellows one can find in any part of the civilized world. A traveler is always given a hearty welcome at the ranches, and no party has ever stopped at one for a day or a week without get- ting good beds, plenty of good, substantial food, with feed and shelter for their animals, and rarely will a ranchman accept money when the stranger is ready to depart. If one should happen to find the door of the cabin closed, the latchstring is always on the outside, and no stranger is ever turned away. Such is Western hospitality, the broncho riders of the plains the host! SUPERIOR EXCELLENCE OF THE TROTTER. The sustained popularity of the horse shown is cause for gratification, though it is not in the least surprising. A few years ago there was much talk, originated by bicycle enthusiasts and developed to fullness by devotees of motor vehicles, about a "horse- less age," when the domestic equine race should be- come all but extinct. It was foolish and visionary, of course, though it did find some credulous listeners; and time has effectually disclosed its vanity. Despite its mechanical competitors, the horse is steadily grow- ing in favor and in interest, and also in use; and it will doubtless continue to do so. It has many uses, both for business and for pleasure, which it is not to be expected any mechanical device can ever satis- factorily discharge, just as with all our development of "labor saving" machinery hand labor is still and doubtless will always be necessary. While the success of the horse show, year after year, is agreeable to contemplate, however, it would be much more pleasing if more attention were paid there to the pre-eminent American type of horse. We mean, of course, the trotter. In all the history of man's improvement of the lower order of animated life there is probably no chapter more noteworthy or more creditable or that signifies more for the prac- tical advantage of mankind than that which tells of the development of the American trotting horse. It would probably be judicious to consider that animal the most truly valuable of all equine types. There are others of great worth and of engaging character- istics. The "thoroughbred" has a longer and more picturesque history and is of much value. But for "all-around" service, for business use and for pleas- ure driving, for work and for play, it is outranked by the trotter. It is true that in the changed status of the horse which is being brought about by the in- vention and introduction of motor vehicles the trotter will have to meet a stronger competition than the runner- Nevertheless, the time will not come in this generation or the next when this typical American horse will be conspicuously less useful than now. Into the vexed questions of the origin of the trotter and his influence upon other strains we shall not enter. That way madness lies. The advocates and adversaries of Hambletonians, Morgans, Stars, Clays, Messengers, Abdallahs and what not may wage their wordy wars at will. Also it may be said that our trotting stock enters or does not enter into the numer- ous other strains which are so popular. All these questions are aside from the real one. The point is that the American trotter, not as the part progenitor of ponies or hackneys or any such thing, but as a trotter pure and simple, is the most uuseful and the most valuable of all horses, and is second to none in beauty of form and action and in practically all the elements of attraction. Moreover, it is the one type of horse that is distinctively American in origin and development. Whether trotting races will ever, at least in and around New York, outrank running races in popular and "sporting" favor may be questioned. At least those who are not merely using racehorses as money making machines, but who take the amateur's true interest in the culture of the noblest of all ani- mals, would do well to give to the typical American horse the rank which he so abundantly deserves. — N.

This line generally carries a great deal of bone and substance, but very little quality. Belmont, on the other hand, was full of quality and rather light of bone, cutting off considerably at the knee. After his death I examined his nigh forward cannon bone, which I found". to be as blue as slate and hard as steel. It is easy to account for his quality, for his grandam was by Partisan, by long odds the handsomest horse of his day: and his sire was inbred to Expedition, an exceptionally handsome horse. No one would have supposed, to look at him, that he had a cross of Sorcerer within ten genera- tions. Henry Williamson was a typical pioneer on whom the mantle of Daniel Boone had fallen. He stood about six feet, four inches in height and was a promi- nent mover in the emigration of 1S43 to the new land of Oregon. He was a man of sterling integrity and believed that a stain on a man's honor was worse than a wound in his heart He was a man of devoted and sincere friendships, as witness the fact that he broke his journey at Brown's Hole on Green River (in what is now Wyoming) to nurse and care for his companion, Joseph S. Smith, and did not arrive in Oregon until September, 1S44. How did the pious ingrate repay that goodly office? He died in 18SS, leaving a fortune of over §600,000, not one dollar of which went to the man who not only nursed him for an entire year in a desolate region beset with hostile savages, but also twice loaned him money to live on, after their arrival in Oregon, until he could obtain employment on the building of the first vessel ever built in that State. Smith told me that himself. I am aware of an old Roman motto: "De mortuis nil nisi bonum," but I believe the author of that maxim w^as a premature life insurance president. Henry Williamson remained in Oregon until 1S49, He took up a quarter section of laid in Benton county, and his friend, Frank Depoistre, who came across the plains with him, took up an adjoining quarter, in what is now the north end of the beautiful little city of Corvallis. Now contrast Frank's case with that of Congressman Smith. When Henry William- son (through no fault of his own, either) was forced into bankruptcy, in 1855, Frank Depoistre sold his land for §1-00 and came down on horseback to Mon- roeville, to serve his old friend, only to learn that it would not pay one-twentieth of the debts for which Monroe & Williamson had been attached. Frank did all he could and a hero could have done no more. He died about four years ago, a poor man in this world's goods, but a rich one in the esteem of all who prize true manhood and unselfish friendship. Henry worked in the mines until 1852. when he came down to Marysville with about §22.000. He met a man there named Uzal P. Monroe, who came here from. New Jersey, having been born about four miles from Henry's birthplace. A spontaneous friend- ship sprang up between them, such as seldom occurs in this less rapid period: and they went over to the mouth pf Stony Creek in Colusa county, where they purchased a piece of land from- A. C. St. John and proceeded to lay off a townsite which they called Monroeville. This was the head of easy navigation on the Sacramento, although boats had gone as high as Tehama on high water. They purchased a side- wheel steamer called the Express, which made two trips weekly between there and the capital. Following is a partial list of her officers in 1854: Captain James A. Morgan Pilot William Pierce Purser v John F. Willis Chief Engineer A. C. Zimmerman Assistant Engineer Bolivar Hight Steward E. B. Collins Mate - S. B Gamage Watchman Thos. B. Merry Connecting with this boat was a tri-weekly line of stages to Shasta, of which Henry Williamson -was <&he gvee&ev cmi* grporismcm 2 agent at the latter place until he went East in Febru- ary, 1S53, when his brother, Dr. Jonathan Williamson, afterwards surgeon o£ Col. Conner's California regi- ment during the Civil War, took his place. Henry left Cincinnati in March, 1S53, with four wagons, bound for St. Joseph, Mo., which was then the great starting point for all the west-bound wagon trains. . His chief features in the train were the stallion Belmont, six years old; Maria Downing, ch. m. 1844, by American Eclipse out of Red Moroc- co's dam by Tiger; Liz Givens, b. m. 1S47 by imp. Langford, out of Charlotte Pace by Sir Archy; Fanny Mostyn. br. m. 1846 by Grey Medoc, out of imp. Lady Mostyn by Teniers; three yearling fillies by Cadmus. Trustee and Laplander, out of the three mares above named; and the fifteen-year-old stallion American Boy Jr.. which lacked one-thirty-second of being a thoroughbred horse. The latter got Fanny Branham, the second dam of the well-known trotting horse James Madison 2:17%. The trip across the plains was comparatively un- eventful and all arrived safely at Monroeville in Sep- tember except one of the yearling fillies that died on the way. Henry went back to Shasta as agent of the stage line and the doctor began practice in San Francisco, in an old wooden building where the Oc- cidental Hotel now stands, known as Harry Meiggs' music hall. William M. Williamson, Henry's youngest brother, came out in the train and brought with him his wife and two children, both of whom died in the following year. No sooner, had William arrived at the landing than Monroe began to be conspicuous by his ab- sence. The truth was that he was spending most of his time in Marysville and gambling off money as though he had millions One day at Sacramento, the agent. W. Arnold, called on Purser Willis for" money to pay some back charges on cargo received from San Francisco. It was raised with difficulty and paid. The next trip the same thing occurred and there was no money forthcoming. The boat was tied up for debt and we were all discharged, with at least twenty days' pay due us. Come to find out about it, Monroe had not only squandered over $16,000 in nine months but had also given the firm's notes for half as much more to Albert G. Toomes, William G. Churd and a dozen others living along the river. The total in- debtedness was somewhere about $55,000. Henry put the horses into his brother's name to avoid attach- ment; and then, fortified against any further trouble on that score, kept on meeting his share of the in- debtedness till, in 1863, he had discharged all of his liability to the creditors. Belmont stood at Monroeville in 1854 for $40 the season. On the bills, the "copy" for which I wrote myself, his name is spelled "Belle Mount," which was the name of old Mr Williamson's farm at Springdale. In 1S57 Henry began making trips up to Oregon and driving down American-bred cattle that had just come in off the plains, while William removed to San Jose, taking with him his nephew. George R. Furman. who had ridden Belmont across the plains. In the winter of 1S5S Henry went East and came out in 1S59 with a drove of pure-bred Devon cattle, the first that had ever been brought to this State. Belmont (as everybody here pronounced the name) stood at $50 in 1855, $75 in 1856 and at that rate until 1860, when the victories of Owen Dale, Bonnie Belle, Langford and a dozen others caused Henry to raise his fee to $100, at which rate he stood till the time of his death in 1866. He was struck on the hock Dy an ignorant groom while currying him. A sore de- veloped there and Henry kept neglecting it until it became chronic and could not be cured; and thus was lost to this State one of the grandest and most valuable horses ever foaled on American soil. If you ■want a correct idea of how he looked, take my book, "The American Thoroughbred," and, on page 36, there you will find a portrait of Persimmon, the King's horse that won the Derby. From the saddle back, the re- semblance to Belmont is simply perfect. There is also an almost exact likeness in the head and neck, but the placing of the shoulder is quite different. Belmont's value, as a sire, does not end with the thoroughbreds of his get. He was the sire of Venture 2:27%, the only thoroughbred stallion that ever broke into the 2:30 list. As the sire of the dams and grand- dams of trotters in the 2:30 list, Belmont makes twice as big a showing as any horse, strictly thoroughbred, that ever stood for public service in America. Not only that, but his sons — Owen Dale, Langford, Correct, Ben Lippincott and one or two others of less note — are already inscribed as sires of the Gams and grand- dams of 2:30 performers. In 1S93 Mr. William G. Layng, who succeeded me as editor of the Breeder and Sportsman, compiled a list of 2:30 performers de- scended from Belmont and his sons, a perusal of which I most earnestly commend to those breeders who think that the modern light-harness horse can i get along without an infusion of thoroughbred blood to impart staying power. It may teach some men that, while they know a great deal, they have yet much to learn about breeding. The first thoroughbred horse foaled in the State ' was Langford by Belmont, out of Liz Givens by im- ported Langford. He won the two-mile heats at ' Napa, beating the Kentucky horse Ashland, who won the first heat. Ashland had previously beaten Owen Dale at four-mile heats. These horses were then matched at four-mile heats for $10,000 and Langford I won in the first heat in 7:43, Ashland being drawn. ■ Langford then distanced Susy Hawkins, four miles, at Marysville. in 7:58. Then his owner challenged any horse in America to run four miles for $10,000, the ac- ceptor to receive $2500 for expenses No response was ever received to this bold defiance and Langford. after winning two more races, broke down in a two- mile race won by Dashaway. also by Belmont. '. As an individual, Belmont was something superb. .He had as handsome an eye as ever was placed in any horse's head; and he had a head that looked as if modelled by a sculptor. His shoulder, though a trifle straight, was strong and not "loaded," like that of some thoroughbred horses. His gait was simply per- fect. John Bonman, who founded the first line of omnibusses in San Francisco, had him in his stable on Market street in 1S5S, and told me that he broke him to harness and drove him a mile to wagon, on the Pioneer track, in 2:59. I saw Patrick Green drive him a mile to wagon in 3.03, with very little urging; and both Joseph T. Hunter and myself rode him around the old Oakland track that stood where the S. P. shops now stand, miles in 3:03 to saddle. He was the fastest walker I ever rode or ever saw; and I honestly believe he could walk five miles an hour. I have frequently ridden him from Henry Wil- liamson's house to the old ferry at the foot of Broad- way, over six miles, in an hour and twenty minutes, without once breaking into a trot. Langford could trot in 3:10 under his blankets, and was also a fast walker. Owen Dale could trot in 3:15 easily and was the handsomest horse he ever got. Senator Stanford would never have bought little Don Victor if Owen Dale had been alive. Don Victor w'as Owen Dale's full brother, but no such race horse nor was he any such individual. The blood of Belmont is diffused through many valuable trotters and some very good gallopers. Borghesi, winner of the handicap at Los Angeles on the 2d inst., had a daughter of Belmont for his granddam. This horse is called Williamson's Belmont, in con- tradistinction to the Kentucky-bred Belmont by Alex- ander's Abdallah. Had "Williamson's Belmont not got- ten Venture 2:27% no such distinction ,.ould have been necessary. Though his fame, as a sire of trot- ters, rests upon the performance of a single horse, the benefits conferred by him upon the trotting turf are widely spread and far reaching; and in concluding this brief sketch of a noble animal that was to me a dearly-loved companion, I am compelled to echo the words of Brutus at the grave of Caesar and say, "Take him for all in all, we shall not look upon his like again." HIDALGO. BRED RIGHT FOR A SIRE. In the horse breeding business, as in every other, those who make the largest profits are they that are "there with the goods" when the demand comes from the public for a certain brand. The McKinneys have had the call for the past few years, and it will only be a very short time until certain sons of this great stallion that are now young and almost untried in the stud will he at the very top of the list as popular sires. Zombro 2:11, the greatest three-year-old Cali- a record better than 2.10, as she possessesd that speed. She was by Stamboul 2:07%, a sire of trotters, not one of his list of fifty standard performers being a pacer. Stamboul was the handsomest stallion of his day, the Adonis of the trotting turf as it were, and he has imparted this quality of beauty to his get in a marked degree. Seventeen of Stamboul's sons have sired forty standard performers, and of these but six are pacers. Twelve of his daughters have produced seventeen with standard records, all trotters. The second dam of Bonnie McK is that great brood mare Bon Bon 2:26 by Simmons. She is the dam of Bonnie Direct 2:05%, (champion of his year and sire of Bonalet 2:09%, champion three-year-old pacing filly), of Bon Silene 2:1414, trotting, and of the hand- some stallion, Bonnie Steinway. that has paced several miles around 2:10 in his work and will be given a low record next year. Her sire, Simmons, by Geo. Wilkes, is reckoned one of the great brood mare sires. He sired the dams of Fereno 2:05%, Bonnie Direct 2: 05 % and some thirty more with fast records, while his sons are also producing great speed through their daughters, as witness Gossiper, sire of the dam of Zolock 2:0514 and others. Simmons himself was out of a great brood mare by Mambrino Patchen, the sire of so many great brood mares. The third dam of Bonnie McK is Bonnie Wilkes 2.29% by Geo. Wilkes, his fourth dam Betty Viley, a thoroughbred mare by Bob Johnson, son of the mighty Boston, sire of Lexington, and fifth dam May Viley by American Eclipse. The first, second and third dams all have standard trotting records, and his first four dams have all produced horses with standard speed. "Breed in producing lines" is now the slogan with breeders who aim to produce the best, and Bonnie McK fills this bill as a sire. Few young stallions have the beauty of conforma- tion and strong individuality that this son of McKin- ney possesses. He stands 16% hands high, weighs 1100 pounds and is liberally endowed with substance and finish. He has as perfect a set of legs and feet as any horse that lives, and with wise' breeders this is the very first consideration in selecting a sire. He has been worked some and has repeatedly trotted miles around 2:20, his fastest trial mile to date being one in 2:19, with a half in 1:06% and a quarter in 32 seconds. He was bred to three mares in 1904 and has three weanlings. In 1905 he served nine mares, and as evidence that those who patronized him have faith no less than seven of the mares bred to Bonnie McK in his speed siring abilities, it can be stated that are nominated in the Pacific Breeders' Futurity, which closed on the 4th of this month. His weanlings are ."rjE^flH «j| ■ ' ''iS. - « ■ *»~M^ ,SUf ^- ^?-*j^ ^^^^^^^^^^"**^H^BB!^Sfc BONNIE McK..

It will be the sons bred in producing lines, en- dowed with natural speed and having strong individ- uality that will reach this position of popularity, and if there is one in California that bears all these marks of future greatness, it is the handsome young stand- ard and registered stallion, Bonnie McK, 36.569, owned by Mr. George A. Kelley of Pleasanton. Bonnie McK is bred right to make a great sire. He fills the requirements of the rule laid down by all intelligent and up-to-date breeders, which demands that a great progenitor of speed should come from a great sire line on his sire's side and a great brood mare line on his dam's side. His sire is the great McKinney, sire of forty with records of 2:15 or better, twenty-eight of which are trotters. McKinney's sire was Alcyone, a wonderful sire by Geo. Wilkes, great- est of all sires, and he by old Hambletonian 10, the corner stone of the trotting edifice. The dam of Bonnie McK is Bon Silene 2:14%, one of the great race mares bred in California and one whose beauty of conformation and perfect gait made her noticeable in any company. She should have had the talk of Pleasanton, where they are now being led to halter on the famous track there, and their natural speed and high-class appearance have attracted much attention. Bonnie McK will be in the stud during the season of 1906 at $50 for the season. Mr. Kelly, who is in every way a responsible man, states that he will re- turn the service fee to all owners who give their foals of 1907 a standard record. BUFFALO BILL KILLS HIS HORSES. A dispatch from Marseilles. France, dated Decem- ber 7th, says: All the horses belonging <•■ t It- Wild West Show of Colonel William F. Cody were killed here to-day. Al- though the government veterinaries had certified that glanders had been entirely eradicated from the stud. Colonel Cody and his partner, James A. Bailey, de- cided on this radical measure in order to allay the fears of the farmers regarding the spread of the dis- ease. The saddles, bridles Mini other articles of the equipment, as well as the clothing of the stablemen, were burned, and the railroad cars belonging to show disinfected. Colonel Cody is now in the [Jnil States engaged in purchasing a fresh stud. 24 ®he gSvccftev cmt» gtpovt«smatt LDecember 23, Ht'5 DECLINE OF THE DIOMED DYNASTY. tnty Years Descendants in the Male Line of the First Derby Winner were the Leading Sires of America: Now They m JnconsiderabU Figure— Seign of t\e Family Ended : iportant Facts for Breeders to Snow, BY RALPH H TOZER One hundred years ago the blood of Diomed, the first Derby winner, was as much sought after in America as is the blood of St. Simon and Flying Fox in England and France at this moment. Top Gallant Duroc Truxton and the unbeaten Ball's Florizel among others had made Diomed's name a synonym for sterling merit as a sire of racers. With the ad- [- Sir Archy and Potomac, two great racing the erase for the blood of Sir Charles Bunbery's former racing celebrity was at boiling point, and when the Sir Archy stock came out and vanquished with ease the supposed best racers of the land, and for years sustained the reputation he had made as much the best sire ever known on this continent, with Vanity, Lady Lightfoot, Reality, Timoleon. Sir Charles. Betsy Richards, John Rich- ards, Henry, Bertrand, Flirtilla, Sally Hope, Kate Kearney and Gabriella to his credit— all regarded as showing championship form at some time during their careers — the triumph was a complete one. I make the statement that Sir Archy's equal as a sire never lived in this country, and I very much doubt if his like was ever known in any part of the earth, great as were Sir Peter, Touchstone, Stockwell, St. Simon. Flying Fox, Musket, Chester, Yattendon, Buccaneer, Boston, Lexington, Imp. Leamington, Imp. Bonnie Scotland, Imp. Glenelg, Imp. Ormonde, Han- over, Imp. Meddler and Hamburg. They could not show such a bouquet of first-class racers as I have mentioned above, for those horses were nearly all four-mile heat runners that traveled hundreds of miles on foot over a rough country in order to meet gallopers worthy of their steel. Volumes could be written of the achievements of this baker's dozen of racing stars by Sir Archy. And when American Eclipse, a grandson of Diomed, swept everything before him and retired from the turf unbeaten, when Sir Charles went to the stud recognized as a cham- pion racer and proved fully as good a sire as turf performer, heading the winning stallion list of America in 1S30, finishing second in 1S31, first in 1832, second to American Eclipse in 1833, first in 1S36, 1S37 and IS3S. it was a case of Diomed blood first and the rest nowhere. Sir Charles and American Eclipse, with Timoleon, Sumpter and John Richards for good measure, kept the Diomed blood in the eye of the public for many years, and then came another Sir Archy to be a champion of the turf as well as of the stud, Bertrand, a native of South Carolina. Scarcely inferior was Bertrand's brother, Pacific, who stood in Tennes- see, or Arab, Stockholder and Gohanna, also sons of Sir Archy. For a time Imp. Leviathan and also Imp. Glencoe and Imp. Priam, somewhat dimmed the luster of Sir Archy or Diomed family's star, but there were so many good ones of the dynasty that, as a family, they were in the lead in this country, and Medoc, son of American Eclipse, came up promi- nently in 1839 through being second on the winning stallions' list to Leviathan, and in 1S40 and 1S41 held the post of honor for the Diomed dynasty again. Birmingham, a son of Stockholder (by Sir Archy) began to loom up prominently in the early '40's in Tennessee, where Arab was also. I might here men- tion that in 1829 was foaled the great racer Betsy Malone, by Stockholder. This mare started in twenty- two races, most of them at heats of three miles, and was defeated on but one occasion, through falling to her knees. I bring Betsy Malone in here because she is the ancestress of three of the horses of the male line of Diomed worth mentioning in this day, and they lack a lot of being good sires. Reference is made to Rey del Sierras, El Rio Rey and Emperor of Norfolk. In the late '40's the Diomed family (Sir Archy branch) drew well ahead again in the race for sire honors, Boston, "Old White Nose," pride of Virginia, winner of forty races in forty-five starts, and a hero even in the defeat given him by the New Jer- Pashion, in 1S42 at Union Course, Long Island, being the medium. For many years the star Bo '"n shone much brighter than that of any other Li*y in the horse constellation. Bostona was foaled In 1844, Tally-Ho in 1845. Red Eye in 1846.

Thus it was that when Rich- ard Tei vho, by the way, died at Redwood 31 Lte, about tblrtei • i go, offered to run Lexington over the Metairie course against the 1 I ' made in America for the sum of -fourth forfeit, he was taken up with dis- i "ms of the challenge being Colonel Calvin Green and Captain John Belcher of Virginia. It is history that Lexington on April 2, 1S55, with 103 pounds up, Gil Patrick riding, ran the race against Father Time, and not only won it, to the surprise of the majority of onlookers, but cut the record from 7:26 to 7:19%. the last mile being accomplished in 1.48%. Lexington wiped out his only defeat on April 24, 1S55, when he easily defeated Lecomte, 103 pounds to Lecomte's 100, in 7:23%, the latter being with- drawn in the second heat. Lecomte, who weighed 160 pounds less than Lexington, was afterward taken to England by Mr. Ten Broeck and was undoubtedly a great horse. Lexington, whose earnings footed up $56,540, was taken to Kentucky and R. A. Alexander paid $15,000 for the great racer after his racing days had come to a close. This was considered a tre- mendous price in those times, and especially large as Lexington went blind. Mr. Alexander declared to the men wrho scoffed at him, and made besides a large wager, that he would yet "sell one of Lexing- ton's colts for more than he gave for the old horse." This he did in 1S64, when the war was at its height, securing $15,000 for Norfolk, Theodore Winters of California being the purchaser and the late James Eoff contributing the extra dollar, so that, through the stubbornness of the then owner of Norfolk and the rich California miner, the deal would not fall through. Norfolk was never beaten, and after de- feating the best colts at the East in the Jersey Derby and one other race was brought to Calfornia, where he downed the game Lodi in a big match race in RALPH H. TOZER Racing Secretary and Handicapper this city and twice later on at Sacramento in two and three mile heat races, the time made in 1865 in the latter still being the best on record. Asteroid, by Lexington, also retired unbeaten, and the question of their racing ability was discussed over the East before Norfolk was brought out to the Coast. Ken- tucky was beaten by Norfolk, and that was his only defeat in five seasons on the turf, he winning twenty- one races. All these flyers were from Glencoe mares. Idlewild, the aged one-eyed mare that afterward produced the grand racer and sire Wildidle, was the first of the get of Lexington to bring him great fame. She was foaled in 1S59. In 1S62 came Harry of the West, who, if memory serves, in 1S67 won seventeen races in succession, a majority being at three-mile heats. Of course the war and the confiscating of all the race horses the contending armies could lay hands on virtually killed racing, but Salina, Harry Bassett and Tom Bowling were real champions in the early '70's, and Duke of Magenta, foaled in 1875, the last year of Lexington's life, was also a first- rater. With the death of Lexington came the decline of the Diomed male line, and it has continued in its decadence to the present day, when its best repre- sentatives are Rey del Sierras, by Joe Hooker, and brother to To Tambien, El Rio Rey, by Norfolk, and his brother, Emperor of Norfolk. The latter is the only one of the trio that has sired real simon pure stake horses, those being Rey del Carreres (Ameri- cus) and Cruzasdos. There were many great racing sons of Lexington, but with the exception of Norfolk and Colton none could be accounted good sires. War Dance, who wras out of Reel, the great daughter of Imp. Glencoe, was not a good race horse, but he did get some very good winners, the best being Modesty and L'Argen- tine. Bullion, son of War Dance, was a fair sort of sire, and Grinstead. a grandson of Lexington, was the best stallion in California for many years, his daugh- ters being excellent producers and his sons prac- tically failures as sires, Gano and Santiago, however, getting a few fair gallopers. Pat Malloy, Jack Ma- lone, Uncas and Wanderer got some winners, but were not very high-class sires. However, mares ov the first two named are generally great producers. Joe Hooker, son of Monday, he by Colton. was a suc- cess at the stud, and his daughters are proving high- class producers, one of them giving to the world the game little Sir Walter, winner of $12S,000, an- other Candelaria, a stake horse, but bar Rey del Sierras and To El Rey, his sons, have accomplished nothing as sires and this pair have as yet not sired real stake horses. Thus, the chances for a rescusci- tation of the male line of Diomed, which held sway for nearly three-quarters of a century, rests, as far as I can see, upon Cruzados, a stake horse by Em- peror of Norfolk from a Grinstead mare, thus having a double cross of Lexington. The question now naturally arises, what caused the decadence of the line that proved its superiority for such a long period in America? I have given the question much thought, and the solution seems to be found in the fact that too much blood was used of the sires that begot a very much larger percentage of good females than males. Boston, sire of Lexing- ton, got more good males than females, hence it was natural that Lexington, his best racing son, should be a wonderful sire. But should the sons of Lexing- ton "breed on?" No, I answer, for the reason that a majority of the mares bred to Lexington were by Imp. Glencoe, a number by Imp. Yorkshire and some by Imp. Albion, all famous for the production of extra good mares and few good sires, the last named two none of note. The Lexington blood was so pop- ular that the sons of Lexington from Glencoe and Yorkshire mares were bred to mares with another in- fusion of Glencoe, or perhaps Imp. Eclipse and prob- ably back of that Medoc, Trustee, American Eclipse or Stockholder, again all sires of females far su- perior to the males, as turf history will show con- clusively. Result — A general weakening of the male line and a strengthening of the female side. The Lex- ington mares, as a class, were seldom equalled at the stud, Glencoe's daughters alone rivalling them, and many of the champions were by Lexington from Glencoe mares, like Norfolk, Asteroid and Salina. Had the breeders of the '70's known as much as breeders do to-day of the tendency of horses to beget good males or females, as the case might be, the Lex- ington brand of Diomed would not occupy the un- happy position that it does to-day, and the answer of the Kentucky school boy to his teacher, who asked what "well bred" meant — "three crosses of Lexing- ton"— would not be thought correct, unless one wanted a good brood mare. And to-day breeders should ask themselves, before breeding to any horse, what are his characteristics? Does he beget better mares than he does males? If so, I would not care for him, for there are plenty of mares in this country bred on lines that should in- sure their doing well at the stud, but few stallions so bred that one could count on their proving sires that would "breed on" best through their sons. With a view of bringing the Diomed dynasty (Lex- ington branch) into power again, I have prepared a table for the use of breeders, showing the character- istics of the various high-class stallions since Lex- ington's time (he died in 1S75). History shows that the sires of a larger number of extra good male than female turf performers prove the most desirable, for the reason that their sons "breed on." Anyone possessing a stallion of the male line of Diomed should use mares full of the blood of the sires in the first table — sires of a larger number of good males than females. The blood of the horses contained in the second table should be avoided religiously by owners of stallions with lots of Lexington, Glencoe, Yorkshire, Albion, Medoc or American Eclipse blood, while the blood of horses in the third table can be used at will, and found good, but if you wanted to have a sire that would "breed on" you would use the blood of the sires represented in the first table as much as possible.

Secretary California State Agricultural Society. As secretary of the State Agricultural Society I ac- cept, with pleasure, the opportunity to give to the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman the plans that have been formulated by the society's directors, and my personal ideas of how our State Fairs may be made a credit to California and become what it was intended they should be, an annual industrial exhibi- tion for the education and amusement of the farmer, stockraiser and producer; a festival given each year by the State that it may encourage the increase of its products, in variety and quantity, and improve- ment in quality by offering adequate medals, prizes and cash premiums for the best of anything pro- duced anywhere within its borders; a holiday de- voted particularly to the entertainment and instruc- tion of the country people. In my opinion we must first get back to the old- fashioned State Fair; that is, a fair where a $5000 bull will have a chance to win as much in a contest that lasts a whole week or more, as a $400 thoroughbred can win in a contest that lasts two minutes or less. A fair where the owner of a great herd of Holstein or Jersey cattle, who has twenty-five or thirty head on exhibition worth many thousands of dollars, will be given as much attention by the press and the peo- ple as is the man who owns a couple of horses that would be more at home in a delivery wagon than a sulky. A fair where every county in the State will be encouraged to send county exhibits made up of its best products, having positive assurance that if it wins a prize it will be amply compensated in money and publicity for the expense and trouble incurred. A fair where, if a man displays his poultry, he may feel assured that he can not only win good premiums, but will find modern, cleanly and well ventilated buildings and coops in which to show them. A fair that en- courages amateur outdoor sports by furnishing first class grounds upon which each year to hold inter- county contests, such as football, baseball, bicycle and shooting tournaments, and giving liberal prizes to the winners. A fair where the entire exhibition with everything displayed, from a lace handkerchief to a hog, may be seen, day or night, for one admission, upon the State Fair grounds A fair that will have such a speed track that the California standard bred horse, the finest and fastest in the world, can, under State supervision, upon our own soil, make those world's records that have done more probably to ad- vertise California than any other one thing. A fair where there shall be something doing from morning till midnight that will either interest, amuse or in- struct its patrons. Many believe that such a fair cannot be made a success. In their opinion, the public will not give its patronage to the State fair unless running races are made its principal attraction. With a certain class of people this is undoubtedly true, but with the coun- try people, for whom State fairs throughout the Union are supposed to be conducted and maintained, the running races are not the principal attraction. In my opinion it is a mistaken idea that in order for our State fairs to be successful they must be conducted at the State's expense as a preparatory department of the professional jockey clubs. As an evidence that the success of a State Fair is not dependent upon the running races, we have the State fairs of the north and east and south that are conducted with but few, if any, running races, where the attendance is greater, sometimes twice over, in a single day than has the attendance been for years past at the California State Fair for the entire two weeks of its meeting. This I say without wishing to detract from the sport offered by the owners and breeders of running horses, but while they have the encouragement offered by the professional jockey clubs in breeding and developing that class of horses, the owner and breeder of the harness horse is de- pendent almost entirely upon the State, district and county fairs for his encouragement and support, and it is upon the race tracks kept up by such State, dis- trict and county fairs that the harness horse must make those records upon which his value and sale depends; therefore, it is no more than proper that the greatest inducement should be offered the owner and breeder of standard bred horses at our State fairs, not only upon the above mentioned account, but because every farmer and every stock raiser is a breeder or owner of the harness horse and is directly interested in the State Fair, so far as it relates to horse racing, only on account of the encouragement it gives the breeding and development of this class of horses. In order to create a renewed interest in our State fairs the directors of the Agricultural Society are en- deavoring to complete a scheme of buildings upon the new State Fair grounds that will furnish modern and suitable accommodations for the proper display of the produce of every exhibitor. It is the intention to have these buildings so located and grouped that they will be easily accessible to the patrons of the fair, and they are to be surrounded with clean covered walks and drives. Between now and the time for holding the next State Fair it is expected that the entire fair grounds will be properly graded and sown to grass, with many trees of different varieties planted upon that portion of the fair grounds outside of the race track. And the directors are now considering the proposition of setting apart a portion of the grounds for a free market place for people who wish to camp upon the fair grounds during the time of the fair, vhere they may find shelter for their stock and first class camping facilities and be supplied by the so- ciety with their hay and grain at cost. Such an ar- rangement would undoubtedly bring many people from the country to the State Fair, where they could buy. sell and exchange different farm products and breeds of cattle, sheep, swine or poultry, and also gain from each other new ideas regarding the improvement of their products. Committees have been appointed to revise the pre- mium list both in the livestock departments and in the departments of agriculture and horticulture. When this work is completed the prospective ex- hibitors will find that in many cases the premiums have been increased so that there will be additional inducement offered in all departments. Amusement should be furnished morning, after- noon and evening so that there would be some at- traction for the public at all hours of the day and evening. In the morning we hope to have, outside of the usual stock parades, etc., inter-county and in- ter-state shooting contests by amateur gun clubs, also baseball and football games between teams from dif- ferent counties, and liberal prizes should be given to the best teams in any of these classes, and cups and medals should be offered by the society, to be con- tested for each year and to be held by the county having the best team in the State in either one of these lines of sport. Such contests as these will have a tendency to generate a rivalry between the different counties of the State, not only in matters of sport, but the ex- hibitions made of products by individuals and by counties themselves which will result in interesting the people and the press throughout the State, which means increased attendance, and increased publicity for the State Fair through the columns of the news- papers. No contest, unless it is a cold-blooded gam- bling proposition, is ever a genuine success unless there is a feeling of local rivalry between the con- testants. The sport itself, as has been proven in baseball, football and other amusements, when shorn of local feeling would not draw enough people to make the gate money cover the advertising expenses. I am endeavoring by this to show that to get exhibitors and the people interested in the State Fair we must stir up a keen but wholesome rivalry between the counties and different sections of the State. By this plan and with increased premiums we will certainly improve the class and increase the number of exhibits, and in proportion to the importance and number of exhibits made, and to the local rivalry created will be the number of people that attend our State fairs, and the people who are encouraged to visit the State fairs in this manner are the very people for whom State fairs are maintained. If possible, harness races should be arranged be- tween horses owned and bred in the different coun- ties of the State, and rules adopted that will make such contests absolutely non-professional, and in this way encourage the farmer to breed, raise, train and drive the horses entered in these races. Have the fair grounds brilliantly lighted with elec- tricity at night, and also light at least a quarter of a mile of the track near the grand stand, so that all exhibits may be seen as well at night as by day, and amusements, novelty races and sports of every kind may be conducted in front of the grand stand for the entertainment of the public in the evening. Trains of decorated and well lighted trolley cars, carrying bands of music, should be provided to carry the public to and from the fair grounds for these evening entertainments. A State Fair conducted along these lines might not be an immediate financial success, for it will take a year or two, at least, to convince the produc- ers that the State Agricultural Society is now fully determined to carry on these annual exhibitions pri- marily in their interests. It will also take time to make the public understand that these fairs are given FOUR— CHRISTMAS BREEDER. 12-11-W each year for the benefit of the whole State and are worthy of their patronage when viewed as either an institution of education or entertainment. It will take time, too, to convince the press of the State of our earnestness in this matter that we may gain from the newspapers their enthusiastic sup- port. When these things are accomplished there will be no more question about the success of California's State fairs than there is about the State fairs of the east and north. In the meantime should the Agricultural Society find that by giving a State Fair along these lines they have cut themselves off from a certain amount of revenue that has heretofore been derived from the running races and on that account find them- selves after the close of our coming State Fair con- fronted by a deficit, can it be doubted but that the members of the next Legislature, who are the peo- ple's representatives, would gladly make liberal ap- propriations to cover any such deficit, when they un- derstand that it was caused by a change of policy of the directors of the society in their effort to en- courage the breeding and improvement of the standard bred horse, in fostering the interests of the raiser of cattle, sheep, swine and poultry, and the encourage- ment of the agricultural, horticultural, mineral and manufacturing interests of the State by furnishing better facilities for the exhibition of the products of these industries and increasing the premiums to encourage their display. Such action on the part of the Legislature, under these conditions, would un- doubtedly meet with the approval of the people throughout the State, and the Governor. The great State of California is not a "cheap" State. It is will- ing to pay, and pay well, for anything as long as it re- ceives fair value for the money Invested. It has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in sending ex- hibits of our State products to those expositions that have been held in other States and other countries, and this money, without a doubt, has been well in- vested, for it has resulted in the advertising of our State and its products abroad and bringing to Califor- nia thousands upon thousands of people seeking homes, but not one dollar of the money so spent would be better invested than would be the money used in improvement over his sire at the stud, and Domino equipping the state Fair grounds with modern b" id-" ings adapted to the display of all kinds of products and a race track as fast as any in the wo? d and providing sufficient funds to carry on an annual ex Z W T °Wn Pr°dUCtS: £or the employment"* the best judges to be obtained to pass upon the ment an* t^ C°meStS and 6XhibitS "^ every Tpar! ment. and to pay purses and premiums that will guar- antee the patrons of the fair that they will see the nTStCalLerVneiaythlne' '" ^ ^ ™ * ~- o/y; f d izr%v*xi: ss e it could be made the pride of California and its peo- tore«, d eVery°ne th™u*h°ut the State would be In- enn rt hm»r0m0Une its suocess: « would be at- fd by thousands of people where now we have "*:: " W°Uld hrine t0 its pounds the finest and fastest horses in the United States; it would be might Lftnf™ r"1' °f 6Very homeseeker tliat he might see the products of the different counties and judge tor himself of the most favorable place to lo- cate.

Hampton, Kendal, Galopm, Wisdom or near crosses of Doncaster Blair Athol, Speculum. Lord Clifden and with Stockwell Newmmster, Voltiguer, Orlando, Touchstone, Irish Birdcatcher. Whalebone, Whisker and other "sire blood" in the background. Until one of the above metioned plans are followed out, the propects tor the Diomed or Lexington male line again occupying a front rank in America is decidedly gloomy I have seen horses at the stud with from four to six crosses of Lexington backed up by Glencoe. Albion, Medoc Trustee or other strains where the good females of the families greatly outnumber the good males yet the owner of the horse fondly imagines his stallion will make a good sire. And when he has been mated with a lot of mares bred on much the same lines as himself, and proves a rank failure, they wonder why it was thus. My idea, based upon history, is that a good sire must come from a tried sire line and be from a mare full of "sire blood." such as is shown in the preceding table. The longer the list of suc- cessful sires that can be traced in the male line straight through the better, and if it goes clear to Eclipse, Herod or Matchem without a failure in the line, you can bet upon its being the one to "tie to." If the mate of the above mentioned stallion is equally strong in "female blood"— that is, possesses as many crosses from the second table as the stallion did from the first— the result should be a good balance and a high-class nicer— if all the other details of the mating are carried out as carefully. Will Mr. Baldwin, who knows he has a speed marvel in Cruzados, be the man to revive the glories of the kingdoms of Lexington, Boston, Sir Archy and Diomed by providing suitable mates for the best race horse of the line to-day? Let us hope he will, and that with the rebuilding of the fortunes of the Diomed family will come a rehabilitation of the Santa Anita stud, once the wonder of Americans and the particular pride of Californians. o Jackson's Napa Soda does not tangle the feet. 26 Site gveefrev anif gpoxtsftnan [December 23, 1905 ROD, GUN AND KENNEL.

FLASHLIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS OF BIG GAME. iventurous feat which seems almost impossi- accomplishment, that of photographing wild animals in their lairs and runways by flashlight in the jungles and on the veldts of Africa, has been suc- y undertaken by Herr C. G. Schillings of Wetherhoff, Guerzenich, Germany. Not only has Mr. Schillings - b iring actual photographs of the most ferocious game animals which are to be found on the dark continent but he has written a fascinating description of his adventures, which work n recently published in Germany. So valuable book, both as an up-to-date contribution to natural history and as an intensely interesting- story for sportsmen, that an American edition, entitled -With Flashlight and Rifle," has just been "published by Harper and Eros. In translating the work of Mr. Schillings. Henry Zick, Ph. D.. has adhered as close- iv us possible to the original, preserving the fresh- ness and virility of the author's touch, and the result is one of the most thrilling and sensational books de- scriptive of aboriginal conditions in Africa that have appeared in recent years. he purpose of securing views and photographs of animals, which in a few years approximately will be extinct, the author undertook his journey into the heart of Africa. Not being an artist, nor, as he says having the facility of the descriptive writer, he* decided that the only way accurate reproductions of savage beasts and their habits could be obta.ned was by means of the flashlight and telephotography. He points out that photographs purporting to be of wild beasts in their native state and habitats have been gross pictorial falsehoods. Commenting on this he refers to a "magazine, which has a large circula- tion, in which I found the picture of a lion attacking a zebra, that had been taken, as the text implied, by a missionary in Eastern Africa." Then in the text referred to one missionary is said to have taken other scenes of animal life at closest range— for instance, a lion watching for his prey. The truth is that the missionary had been incor- porated into the picture group to make it more ac- ceptable to the people at home. The group of animals was simply made up of stuffed specimens picked up on ihe veldt To cap the climax of fraudulent repre- sentation, the stuffed zebra used by the ingenious picture fakir belonged to a species which has dis- appeared from East Africa and can only be found in South Africa. Mr. Schillings' first expedition into Central Africa was in 1S96 and there the initial desire w~as born within him to permanently fix the powerful and glorious imperssions he had received and to pass them on to others. He undertook two other expeditions, but turned back on account of illness and it was only when he started upon his fourth journey, with a com- plete outfit, that his most sanguine expectations met with anything like satisfactory realization. Mr. Schillings arrived at Tanga. East Africa, early in February, 1903, with a caravan consisting of liO carriers and Askari (native guards). The first stop which was receding as the dry season advanced; and, again, the rhinoceros returned nightly from the steppes to the drinking place near the swamps; and antelopes, water bucks, wart hogs and buffaloes drew near to the swampy region." In this sportman's paradise the author secured at night many views of zebras and antelope, and also pictures of the rhinoceros, showing various interest- ing doings of this ponderous and dangerous beast. The writer devotes an entire chapter of his book to the giraffe, of which long necked denizen of the lake region he secured numerous excellent photographs. RHINO BROS ii EDING AT NIGHT Of the on the shores of the- NdjirJ ■• of the Kilimanjara This district Is noted as a rendezvous for animals of all kinds. Mr. Schillings describes it as follows: which live near the swamps and rivers fine crop of water plants, filled with seeds, floating on the lakes of the Ndijtrl swamps. Immense flocks of . ducks squatted on the l Is of gnus and zebras pressed up to the shores of the lakes, the water of hunter. There is a strange fascination in following the traces of wild beasts into the fastnesses of the steppe; in the case of my tracking the fourteen lions this eagerness was alloyed with a goodly amount of anxiety. One's imagination loves to picture the possible situations which the pursuit of the beasts may bring about So did mine on that occasion. Having reached the top of a hill, I saw the lions resting among the rocks in the shade of some locust trees. But, alas! — or should I not rather say fortunately? — the animals withdrew from sight as soon as they had become aware of me. I often had to register similar experiences that the lions were so near and yet too far. "The worst stroke of ill luck, from a huter's point of view. I had was when I failed to kill the strongest maned lion I ever met with in the wilderness. One day, while stalking water bucks, I saw an animal hiding in the bushes. Soon I made it out to be a maned lion of unusual size. He had scented me ana galloped away before I could take good aim. The bullet I sent after him did not miss him quite, as A HEKD OP ZEBRAS STARTLED BY FLASHLIGHT This curious animal frequents the arid African plains and is so constituted that it does not need to select its haunts within easy reach of drinking water, as it can get along for days without water — a faculty tradition has credited the .camel with possessing, to a degree, and which abstinence it seems is now shared by the African rubber neck. Thus is another belief shorn of its patent to exclusive notoriety. To secure a picture of an old bull giraffe in com- pany with two bull elephants, Mr. Schillings followed the strangely assorted African "Three Musketeers" for weeks before he found the propitious moment for the sun to break through the clouds so that he could take the much desired picture_ He declares his be- lief that giraffes, which are absolutely mute, must possess some kind of a sign language by the medium of their tails. For in close observation of their ways it struck him, time and again, that the caudal ap- pendages of these creatures were used to wig wag intelligence of varied import to each other. He be- lieves, that in spite of protective laws, giraffes will, ere long, become extinct in Africa, and that on this account as many skins as possible should be secured for museums. ' I have often found," he writes, "giraffes killed by lions but I believe as a rule it takes two or more of the felines to stalk and overpower a full grown bull. Tet the 'lion's ride' depicted by Freiligrath, the Ger- man poet, is a possible thing. Anderson relates that he once saw a giraffee with a lion on its back. "The powerful kick of the bull giraffe is apt to keep a lion at a respectful distance. The giraffe is even able to shake off his enemy and run away from him. Near the Grecei volcano I killed a bull with many scars and minus the tuft of his tail. The old bulls, as a rule, are wary and do not frequent the drinking places, the natural hunting ground of the lion, as often as do the young and the females. Where other game is plentiful the lion will leave the giraffe alone. Tet between the lion's tooth and the small calibre rifle of the human hunter the giraffe will not escape destruction." And here we find tradition gets another setback, for compartively few of us ever knew or surmised that the ungainly looking giraffe could or would give battle to a lion — the supposed invincible "king of beasts." As a sprinter the giraffe has had a long and enviable reputation. As a fighting quality he evidently is now entitled to respectful recognition. The lion hunting adventures of the author are such as to put Gordon Cumming and other noted African hunters of wild game a little in the shade Even President Roosevelt's experiences in Colorado, in contrast, partakes of the conventional. His story of one Hon hunt is quoted: "Xever to be forgotten by me are the hours which I spent in 1899 following the track of fourteen lions. I had never before met such a number of lions in one troop. The impressions made by the mighty paws of the animals were clearly defined in the fine dust which covered the dry ground of the steppe, an expressive writing for the well trained eye of the I could see from the bloody trail. I followed it for a distance, but without being able to overtake the wounded beast. My men found the carcass of a big lion a fortnight later not far from where I had wounded the lion. He had worked his way into the heart of a thicket so that even the vultures could not get at him. The flesh was almost completely eaten up by maggots. I could only save the skull, the biggest in my collection. The defective teeth showed me the lion was well on in years. "All in all, I caught thirty-seven lions in traps made by Rudolph Weber. A few strong beasts had dragged the sixty pounds of iron for long distances AX AFRICAN VULTURE an hour or more. The asses and cattle which I used as bait had all been stung by the poisonous tsetse fly. The quick bite of the feline simply shortened their otherwise slow and painful death. The trapped and runaway lions had often forced their way so deep into the thickets of reeds and grass and thorny bushes that I had to climb neighboring trees so as to get a shot at them. "Once I caught in traps a whole family consisting of three lionesses and six almost full grown whelps. The first night three were caught, the second night December 23, iyu5] <&tie gKseZisv crofc §fp0v*sman 27 four, and the third night two. "A lion born in the wilderness, but full grown in captivity, can give to the visitor of zoological gar- dens only a faint idea of .what the "king of the desert" really is in a state of liberty, ruling the free, great, wild steppe. The leopard has the reputation, and is so pro- nounced by Mr. Schillings, of being the most dan- gerous and formidable beast of prey in East Africa, and his book contains several snap shot pictures of leopards in their native state. They are often hunted and slain by lions. Here is where "Spots" takes, from a rather unexpected quarter, a shot at tradition and relegates a bit of popular belief, anent his leopardship, to the disillusion scrap box with Wm. Tell's apple and the like. "The leopard has no decided preference for any special locality," says Mr. Schillings. "Its haunts may be found anywhere — on rocky ground as well as in wooded districts — in fact, wherever it finds suffi- cient cover. "It easily climbs trees, and often hides during a hot day in their shady tops. To my personal knowl- edge men were jumped on and killed by beasts con- MALE LEOPARD DRINKING AT A POOL cealed in the foliage — as in the case of a negro, for instance, who was .about to climb a mango tree "The lightinglike rapidity with which a leopard moves, charging or running away,, defies description. Although these animals are found in abundance, they are cunning and sneaky. According to my diary, I encountered and hunted the dangerous cat only twelve times, but the meetings were as exciting as any I had with the wild beasts of the wilderness. "One of the most blood-stirring adventures I had with a leopard was near Pangani, when I set out on my jeourney into the interior in 1899. I had gone back to town, accompanied by but one man, in order to engage more carriers. Returning toward evening to my camp, my attention was drawn to a tree on which a crowd of baboons were skrieking" with all their might. Since monkeys are preyed on by the leopard, I concluded that the baboons were directing their wrath against one of the stealthy cats in a nearby thicket. I penetrated a few feet into the jungle, when something ahead of me began to move, while the monkeys followed on in the tops of the trees. The thicket grew less dense, and I soon found myself en the edge of a ravine, when I saw, about ninety feet away, a strong leopard drag- ging a half- grown baboon. I raised my rifle, but before I could fire the beast had dropped the monkey and escaped with a mighty leap into the ravine. J was sorry to be forced to desist from pursuing it, but I had to return to camp "It is very hard to hit a fleeing leopard; it surely is better for the hunter to miss the beast than merely to wound it. A wounded leopard is a most dangerous enemy when it turns and charges the hunter; its movements, quick as lightning, hardly allow one to take aim. Although I knew this from personal experience, and although I had made up my mind to shoot leopards only under favorable con- ditions. I - always yielded to the temptation when- ever I got a chance to shoot. "On one occasion my foolhardiness brought me within an inch of losing my life. I noticed in the sand of the steppe the tracks of a leopard dragging its prey. They led me to the high bank of a ravine washed out by rain. I went all around it and found the. animal had not left it. Soon I made out the leopard lying with its prey, a small antelope, in a hole under the roots of a tree. But the beast had noticed me also. Leaving its prey behind, the leop- ard tried to steal away; at the same moment I fired. A trail of blood proved that I had hit the animal but had not killed it Going along the high and steep embankment, I noticed the beast cowering, half hid- den by the roots of a tree. The distance between us was about seventy-five feet. "What happened now was enacted much more quickly than it takes time to describe it. "At the same moment that I raised, my rifle to fire a telling shot, the leopard leaped toward me quick as a flash of lightning. I saw the beast clawing the edge of a ravine and almost touching my feet, and felt that there was no escape possible, and no de- fense either, wheiv the leopard jumped back into the ravine as quickly as it had attacked me. The sight of my two native companions, who put in an appearance near me just at that moment, appar- ently had scared the animal as much as its sudden appearance had staggered my men. Although I did not lose my presence of mind, I did not have time enough to raise my rifle and to shoot it; it all hap- pened in a few seconds. A few minutes later a well aimed shot freed us of all further danger. "Never shall I forget this experience. I can even now hear the short snarls of the infuriated beast. I was saved through no skill or bravery of mine, but by mere luck " The book abounds in graphic descriptions of hunt- ing expeditions for elephants, hippopotami, the rhinoceros and smaller game. Some of the photo- graphs illustrative of the text approach the marvel- ous. Mr. Schillings' book will prove a valuable con- tribution to current literature on natural history, hunting adventures and experiences and field photo- graphy of animate and inanimate subjects. PASADENA SHOW. MRS. CHAS. REID THORBURN'S CH. MEG MER- RILLIES II. (A. K. C. Stud Book, S2.267.) The year 1905 has been a particularly memorable one in the annals of dogdom on the Pacific Coast. Among the champions to which we refer with par- donable local pride is the crock Bull Terrier, Meg Merrilies II, owned by Mrs. Charles Reid Thorburn of Berkeley. This grand bitch is of San Francisco production and together with Frank E. Watkin's Ch. Edgecote Peer forms a brace of Bull Terriers which would be hard to equal in any country. After winning her championship points at Stockton, Meg Merrilies was bred to Imp. Bloomsbury Baron, by whom she whelped six white puppies, four dogs, any of which may inherit the show qualities of their celebrated mater. Meg began her prize winning career as an eleven- months-old puppy at the San Francisco Show, May, 1905, where, under Judge Thos Ashton of Eng- land, she won successively through all her classes, taking winners, defeating Edgewopd Jean II, (first open, San Francisco, May, 1905.) a bitch which had won over the famous Ch. Woodcote "Wonder. It is the intention of Meg's owner to exhibit her on the Eastern circuit, where her progress will be watched with much interest by Pacific Coast Bull Terrier fanciers. Following is a partial list of Meg's wins: San Francisco Kennel Club Show, San Francisco May, 1905 — Judge, Thos. Ashton, Leeds, England. First prize — Puppy, novice, limit and winners classes. Specials — Bohm-Bristol trophy for best Bull Terrier in novice class. P. J. Weniger trophy for best Bull Terrier in the show. "W. S.

First prize, limit, open and winner classes. Specials — W. H. Deming trophy for best Bull Terrier in the show. W. "W Stettheim- er trophy for best terrier, any variety, in the show. San Mateo Kennel Club medal for best dog in the show owned by a lady. T. J. Torchiana III, trophy for best doy owned and shown by a lady. Stockton, Cal, September, 1905 — Judge, Chas. Lyndon, Toronto, Canada. First prize, limit, open CH. MEG MERRILIES n and winners classes. Specials — Clifford G- Cook trophy for best Bull Terier bitch in the show. Dr. F. P. Clark trophy for best Bull Terrier in the show. Bohm-Bristol trophy for best terrier, any variety, in the show. Hale & Co. trophy for best dog in show owned by a lady. President F. N. Vail cup for best dog in show. How Shasta Was Named. The word Shasta is derived from the Russian lan- guage. Many years ago, and among the first travelers to visit this portion of the Pacific Coast, was a party of Russians who passed through California, going from the north to the south. They gave a name to many of the more prominent landmarks which they encoun- tered on their journey. To the peak now called Shasta Butte, a mountain clothed with eternal snow, the highest in California, they gave the name of ' Tcheste," signifying chaste, pure, clear. Subsequent travelers and geographers changed the name to "Tchasta," which was again changed after a discovery of gold, to the present word 'Shasta." When the counties of the state were first organized Shasta Butte was in Shasta county. Afterwards a new county was formed, Siskiyou, which embraces the lofty mountain within its boundaries. (By George L. "Waring.) The first dog show held at Pasadena under the direc- tion of the Southwestern Kennel Club compares favor- ably with any other shows on the Coast, with the ex- ception of the San Francisco and Los Angeles shows. Some of the arrangements could be improved upon on a future occasion. The judging ring could be larger and could also be kept clearer. Mr. Morris and Mr. C. A. Summer got through their duties as judges without much interference, but when it came to Mr. Ewins' turn he seemed to be considerably hampered by people who crowded into the ring. There might also be an official to take down the awards from the judges, and hand them out to interested parties. The judges were all local gentlemen and they did very well W. J. Morris opened the ball with Rough St. Bernards. Prince Yan, the only one in the novice dog class, walks well, has a good carriage of tail, a nice, typical head and is well put together. He is somewhat lacking in coat, but this remark applies to all the others except Vanderburg. Prince Yan de- servedly went through all the rough dog classes. Van- derburg is coarse and has a bad expression; and Bruce has a curly tail and bad color. Queen Regent, the winner in rough open bitches, is a nice typical St. Bernard, but was shown in poor J. M. GOLOBECK'S Ce. CATO, JR 81039 condition. She beat Betsy B. rather in head, other- wise there was not much between them. Sir Violet, which won in smooth dogs, was also in bad condition. He has a really fine head, good bone, good body, but his tail is somewhat curly. The Great Danes were a bad lot. Isabellita is a Dane all right and has good points. Her rather shal- low chest mars her appearance. Red Irish Setters, with the exception of Shandon Ben, were somewhat coarse; and Pointers, except Bee III. did not amount to much. Don B. won in Pointer novice, limit, open and win- ners dogs. He is a fair kind of a dog, possessing a good body but a rather thick head. Bee III is a nice bitch; she might be better in head and eyes. She did not show to advantage. Shandon Ben carried all before him in Irish setters. He is a very good dog and shows himself. Bess Law is a good mover and a nice bitch. The features of the Collie classes were the general prevalence of bad open coats, and the timid manner in which they all exhibited themselves, except the ones that were no account. I liked a puppy bitch, Vern the Whirlwind, the best of the lot. Though Vern Tottie has repeatedly won, I don't care for her much. She has an inane expression, nearly always pricks her ears, has an open coat, and is small. Fox Terriers were numerically good, but, with some exceptions, not very classy. Mr. Chas. A. Sumner judged the classes In smooth-coated puppy dogs, Bandersnatch had an easy win. He is very self-possessed for a puppy, shows well, has the best head of any of the Fox Ter- riers shown, stands well and has a good back. Little fault can be found with him, except that he might grow too much. However, his grandsire, Norfolk Trueman, which carried all before him about five years ago, was a big dog. The credit of breeding this nice puppy is due to Mr. John Brown of Riverside. Snorky, the second dog. is a nice fellow with a good coat and a fine, deep chest. His head is thick and he does not carry his ears. The best average breed in the show was Bull Ter- riers. Only seven specimens were benched and of these five were real good ones. Willamette Edgecote Lean- der has a long enough .name and is a nice dog all round except his tail, which is too elevated. Tedcote Wonder and Woodlawn Baron had a hard tussle. The former won. They are both particularly good in all points, but I preferred the Baron, because he is more classy and has a better crop. I consider this a par- ticularly fine dog, with a short back, splendid tail, good ribs, a fine carriage, and a nice head. All in all. the two are exceptionally fine dogs, and will be heard from again and again. It is a pity that Deacon does not carry his ears better, as in all other respects he is a good all-round dog- Willamette Newmarket Lulu is a particularly fine bitch puppy. Her tail at present looks a trifle thick, but this can easily be remedied on the next occasion. These together formed a fine quin- tette. as Cite ^vccDvr uuO gpurlamau LDecemb 19 Jo tor smooth novice dogs was a very bad choice of evils Sabine Engineer, by . a very well put together dog. with fine bone and coat, but his thick head puts him entire- He might have won. and also the third dog— Checkers— might have.

She was the only one entered. She was as game and "sassy" as ever The Boston classes were probably the best and have caused endless controversy — there were a lot of fine specimens on exhibition. Mr. James Ewins judged the classes. Wednesday evening and after the dust of battle cleared away there was, undoubtedly, some heart burnings. There might have been mistakes made, but unfor- tunately, everybody cannot win. There was a good deal of criticism about the Boston a cards. I feel sorry for a Boston judge, anyway.' These dogs seem to be of several different types — all winning ones — and it is generally known that they do not come "true to name," as the nursery men say. It is said that Criterion — the dog that won all his sex classes — is deaf. He is a real good dog, carries himself well, has a good head and deserved what he got. Miss Pronto also went through her classes with fly- ing colors and also beat the dog, in the competition for the cup presented by Colonel J W. Brooks for the best Boston in the show. Colonel Brooks has several good dogs and they will win in the future. There is one especially that was entirely overlooked. They were in bad shape, having lately been on a long journey from the East. Bayside Chauncey was present, but not for compe- tition.

A very distinctive char- acteristic of the right kind of this breed is a flat .skull and a short, square muzzle, free from wrinkles. There are too many tipple heads in this neck of the woods. Another important point is a clean neck, free from bulliness. Without a good neck it is impossible to have a goo i outlook, which is of great importance in a show ring.

White, handler: the poison, making in fact a most deadly capsule The 3 Rip's Lass, black and white ticked Pointer bitch coyotes fall to this little game effectively The dogs come in for trouble in due course, for dogs in country towns have a habit of roaming off for miles into the country. Many of these dogs have a bad nabit of killing sheep also. Incidentally the rancher is somewhat indifferent to the fate of strange dogs around his place, for generally their presence bodes nothing but mischief. Furthermore, the report of shotgun or ride and the finding of a dead dog is some- times productive of more or less ill feeling and con- troversy between neighbors or others concerned. One dog will bring more dogs with him. Instances are known where one or two dogs have killed sheep and have returned to the scene on the following day or night with a number of other dogs, the whole pack intent on further depredation. In prowling about the ranches the dogs pick up the cracklings, the poison pieces are bolted and the small, hard ball of deadly fat lays in the dog's stom- ach until dissolved in process of digestion. Before digestion takes place there is ample time for the luckless dogs to journey miles back to town and to their hemes. When the poison acts and the dog or dogs die at home, the presumption is that the "dog poisoner" is at his nefarious work and great is the row kicked up. In view of this custom of putting out poison on ranches it would be advisable for careless owners to keep their dogs from roaming in the country dis- tricts. Most ranchers post poison notices when they lay out coyote dope This precaution is all right when one's dog is out with him, but when the dogs CLINTON E.

It must be anything but pleasant reading to owners of kennels of the breed in England to find that, so near as Paris, ' poodles, served up in various ways, have been made to take the place of mutton at some cheap restaurants. A gang of dog-stealers has evidently been busy in the capital of France purloining poodles for the purpose of slaughtering and dressing their flesh for food. These people, from information re- ceived by the police, apear to have made a profitable business out of the game. Ladies have been the chief sufferers, the authorities having received a large num- ber of complaints on account of their dogs having been stolen, with the result that the gang has been captured, and some of the dog-stealers are being prosecuied. No reason appears to have been given why poodles should be more tasty than any other ladies' pet dog.— Exchange. What would be the effect, for instance, should one who had dined on poodle call on the owner of the lost dog? Would "his master's voice" he potent enough for the dog's vocal response or its appearance? Dogs in Quail Hunting. The dog is the best, the real quail hunter. Without him one may tramp far and score little. It is a beau- liful spectacle t'> watch when perfectly trained dogs are "working" in field or jungle. It almost reconciles the tender hearted to killing birds. The dogs look so reproachful if one fails to take instant advantage of their set or point. "What are you. here for?" the eyes say as plainly as possible. No shooting and bad marksmanship alike demoralize a trained dog, who makes his scorn reach your Inmost soul. .\i the same time it must he said that an untrained dog is more to be despised than a bad marksman The lattei improve, but the former never.

The numerous gun clubs whose shooting preserves are looted on th< - marsh stretches of the unties districts are more or less familiar to our ■ notices for many sea- ging in the sport are by I to this vicinity, and in every dis- ■ the state, where there is a possibility for either quail or duck shooting, gun clubs have been organized s . The present situation is the that will eventually make it ingly difficult for the independent shooter to follow the bent of his inclination for field or marsh shooting a.1 shooters, there will always be the waters of the bay at their disposal, luckily. The Sacramento and Yolo basin tule districts are ■ ting territory: much of the avail- able ground has already been secured. What the con- - are up the river is here shown in a description of two gun clubs' holdings: Of the various organizations formed for pursuit of ducks, though not exclusively devoted to that object, perhaps the most prominent in the vicinity of Sacra- mento is the Glide Gun Club, organized in August. 1903. by twelve residents of Sacramento, merchants and professional men. For two seasons the fortunate hunters enrolled in its ranks have returned laden with an abundance of game and a fund of hunting stories amply sufficient to last until the next annual migra- tion of the birds from the north. The Glide Club has leased about 11.000 acres of land in the Yolo basin, known as the sink of Putah creek, its eastern boundary being about four miles from the Sacramento river and the preserve stretching to- ward the foothills on the west. The main club house is located about eight miles from Sacramento, and is reached in a drive of forty minutes. The other is about three miles distant, and is located on the oppo- site side of a great tule marsh that affords the best sport. Recently limit bags were made on this section in 55 minutes' shooting. Each structure has a bunk- house, dining room and kitchen, and is capable of fur- nishing acoemmodation for about thirty hunters They are cosy cottages, and there is a barn adjacent to each, where teams may be stabled Members visit the place in summer as well as win- ter, for the reason that splendid black bass fishing is to be had in the lakes and ponds, and the clubmen organize blue rock picnics when the fishing ends. There has been upward of $3000 spent in visible im- provements during the past two years, and this ex- pense has been "borne by the members, in addition to the cost of maintenance and the rent for the grounds. The club is supported by annual assessments, and the books will show that the hunters pay a stiff price for their winter recreation. It is said that some of them could pay $5 in the market for every duck they se- cure through their membership and still make money, but this is true only of those who have time or inclina- tion to go duck shooting. It is safe to say that each member of the Glide Club spends upward of $150 per year for his sport, and that none of them consider it an excessive charge. The limit of membership in this club is now forty- five, and there are four vacancies, which, will be filled this winter. Edward P. Hilborn is the president and Frank Hickman the secretary and treasurer. The executive committee cons'sts of these two and E. D Adams. J. P. Snook and H. E. Yardley.

It is hunted by land owners and farmers of the vicinity, many of whom ship to the markets. ing this i rritory, east and west of Duck la the preservi of the Mallard Club, consisting ng almost to Rio Vista.

These preserves have all been made within the last three sasons, and, strange to say. each and every one of them has had first class sport from the beginning. The number of new clubs that are in the field this season is surprising, and nearly all seem to be enjoy- ing good sport. In some favored sections, clubs have been started al a week's notice, land bought, and limit bags made within a month after the papers passed. California may be slow in some things, but certainly not in de- veloping her sporting resources. Five years ago there were two clubs operating south of the Alamitos — that is to say, clubs of any conse- quence. They were the Bolsa Chiea and the New- port. The Lomita Land and Water Company. Westminis- ter Land and Water Company, Golden West Gun Club, Christopher Land and Water Company, Blue Wing Gun Club, Chico Land and Water Company, were killing limits several weeks ago, and in thirty days there will in all probability be thrown open to the investing public other propositions of the same sort. These clubs own their land, and incorporated as land and water companies to develop water and be protected therein. Flowing artesian wells flood the ponds in a few weeks and keep the water sweet, this being the secret undoubtedly of the great success thus far enjoyed by the Chico clubs. The freshest ponds alway attract the ducks. The last piece of duck marsh in Chico was pur- chased last week for gun club purposes, and within the next two years it is predicted that there will be a continuous chain of ponds from the Bolsa Chica to Almitos Bay, forming a great antural feeding ground and thoroughfare for the waterfowl in which they can rest securely five days out of the seven. A careful compilation of all the Southern Califor- ill Mi PACIFIC COAST AGENCY, SAX FRANCISCO nia duck clubs puts the number at fifty, which easily places this part of the country far ahead of the East in preserves. A list of the principal gun clubs of Southern Cali- fornia is the following: Ballona district — Recreation, Del Rev. Centinela El Patroon, Santa Monica. Cerritos district — Cenilcs. Gresn Wing. Greet/ Head, Pasadena and two small c'.ubs composed m~s:ly of Compton shooters. Alamitos district — Alamitcs Sheriffs. Gadwal, Los Angeles, and small clubs which shcot en the tide lands of Alamitos Bay and kill a few ducks. Bolsa district — Bolsa Chica, Lcmita, Golden West, Westminster. Blue Wing, Canvasback Christopher, Green Wing Land and Water Ccmrany, Chico, and several unnamed propositions. Newport and Fairview districts — Ne'wport Pacific. Green Head. San Joaquin and two new clubs whose names have not been announced as yet. M.Miv of these clubs own their own land and are able to make such improvements as they desire with- out worrying over being turned off at the expiration of their leases. The Del Rey and Recreation clubs in the Ballona district, each expended about $10,000 on their houses alone. The Bolsa Chica is the most luxuriously ap- pointed of any; the wealthy members have reduced their muscular exertion to a minimum, and each has a Jap to set out his decoys, carry his shells and pick up his dead birds, the house appointments being equal to those of a first-class hotel. Of clubs that own their own land and do not go in for more than the necessary comforts of the game, the average expense is about $1500, and there are usually about fifteen shooters, though some have as high as forty members, and a few as low as four. It is estimated by persons fairly well qualified to pass judgment, that in Southern California's fifty odd duck clubs is tied up a sum of money considerably in excess of a million dollars, and steadily increasing in value. It is a notable fact that although many of the clubs have paid what seemed a big price for their properties, not a single instance has been reported where they could not sell out now at a profit. The interest in duck shooting has grown to such an extent that many wealthy Easterners who spend the winters here have taken memberships in local duck clubs, getting in three or four months of the sport each winter and enjoying the same advantages as their brother gunners who live on the scene the year round. THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. Of the many industries and manufacturing estab- lishments in New Haven there is none which em- ploys so large a quota of the population as the Win- chester Repeating Arms Company. Carrying on a business and a manufacture, international in its ex- tent, and which has made the name of New Haven known all over the world, in a quiet, yet consistent manner, it has gone on year after year, increasing in capacity, output and fame. This great plant, covering as it does, in all, some two hundred and thirty-five acres of land, is un- questionably the largest manufacturing establishment of small arms and ammunition in the world. The main plant takes up about thirty acres, with at pres- ent over twenty acres of floor space. The necessity for continued additions makes probable a revision of these figures in the near future. Besides this area mentioned, the water shops on Whitney avenue (the site of the old Whitney Arms Works), together with the proving and storage grounds, go to make up the acreage first given. The present company was organized in 1S66. The personnel was made up of Hon. O. F. Winchester, E. A. Mitchell, John English, J. A. Bishop and Morris Tyler. After the close of the Civil War, in 1S66, Hon. O. F Winchester, then Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut, bought up the Henry rifle patents, im- proved them in many ways, and organized the com- pany for the manufacture of this arm. The new rifle was named the "Winchester," out of compli- ment to the distinguished founder of the company. "Winchester" has since become a household word the world over. Almost immediately the new company was overwhelmed with orders for their famous rifle. Many of these orders came from pioneers in the far West who were then seeking new homes and de- sired such a rifle for protection from foes and to kill game for their subsistence — a dual and world-wide reputation the weapon has maintained in a superla- tive degree to the present day. In 1S69 the company acquired the American Rifle Company. The pur- chase included the Spencer Rifle Company and the Fogarty Rifle Company of Boston. The Adirondack Arms Company of Plattsburg, N. Y , was purchased in 1S74. The present officers of the company are: President. Thos. G. Bennett; vice president and treasurer, G. E. Hodson; assistant treasurer, H. S. Leonard: secre- tary, A. I. Ward The various products and inventions of the Win- chester Repeating Arms Company have been a ma- terial factor in revolutionizing the manufacture of firearms and ammunition throughout the civilized world. While the Henry was the first repeating rifle made, it used rim fire cartridges and had also the additional disadvantage of having to displace the magazine in order to fill it. This was remedied in the "Winchester by the introduction of a fixed maga- zine. In 1873 center fire cartridges were used. No J repeating rifle ever made — or repeating shot gun, for that matter — has had the remarkable success of the Winchester product, and in fact, it may be said with- out exaggeration that the same statement could be applied to the whole of the Winchester output, wheth- er repeating rifles or single shot rifles, repeating shot- guns or ammunition — for rifles or pistols, metallic cartridges or shot gun shells. There is no country on the face of the globe where these goods are not known, and it is a further fact that at the present time over two million of Winchester guns are in use. Only the best materials go into the guns, and each arm is thoroughly tested and tried, by methods pe- culiar to the Winchester company — the result of' study, application and experience for fifty years. The same care and supervision is carried out in regard to ammunition and shells. No product of the company is allowed to leave the works until thoroughly proven up to the high standard that has made the reputation of Winchester goods .second to none The various products of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company are described in numerous catalogues and booklets that may be procured by mail from the company at New Haven, Conn., or by addressing the Pacific Coast Agency, 127-135 First street, San Fran- cisco, An enumeration of Winchester products would take far more space than is available at the present time. Reference is here made, however, to the .32 and .35 model 1905. self loading rifle, a hammerless take- down, a descriptive circular of which is worth send- ing for. So is "The Trap Shooters' Guide," in view of the fact that the "Leader" and other "Winchester shells are used by premier amateur and professional trap shots of the Coast — and throughout the United States and Canada as well.

The handsome building has a floor space of 50x150 feet, is six stories high, an emporium, large as it is, that is hardly adequate for the in- creasing volume of business handled by the Coast branch. The agency was established in this city about twenty-five years ago. Mr. Adolph Muller, the Coast manager, has been in charge of affairs nearly ten years and is favorably known to the fire arms and ammunition trade of the world, having made extended business trips to Eu- rope, Australia, China, throughout the United States and Canada, and the Pacific Coast territory in par- ticular. Mr. W. H. Seaver, the travelling representative of the Coast branch, is personally well known and es- teemed by a majority of Coast sportsmen, as also is George H. Lammers, who is located in the northern territory, and Harry A. Hoyt. Mr. Chris Myer has been connected with the Coast branch for many years and is a rifle expert who has made the Winchester rifle a feared and respected factor at rifle contests for the past two decades. There are many guns of many makes but U. M. C. cartridges excel in all guns whether Remington, Win- chester, Marlin. Savage, Stevens or any other. In the Bridgeport factory is a sample gun of every style and caliber, and to these U. M. C. cartridges are fitted and in them are tested. This accounts for the accuracy, uniformity and reliability of U. M. C. cartridges. Every standard revolver has its U. M. C. cartridge. The U. M. C. armory is thoroughly equipped with revolvers of every style and calibre, and to them U. ' M. C. cartridges are exactly fitted, and in them arc constantly tested. No matter what make of revolver you use. XJ. M. C. cartridges will give superior results. The U. M. C. Co guarantees its revolver cartridges loaded with black and smokeless powder, as stated on labels. U. M. C. quality makes this guarantee pos- sible. Christmas Greeting. The attention of our readers is respectfully request- ed to the announcements of the E. I. DuPont Powder Company and the Lafiin and Rand Powder Company on the inside of the back cover page. Good wishes and a cordial holiday greeting are ten- dered to the sportsmen of the Pacific Coast and of the world, instead of the usual business advertise- ment—a recognition of the many friends the powder makers and their representatives have among those who go afield with gun and dog and also find recrea- tion at the traps. Variety for Sportsmen. It has been stated that there are 50,000 sportsmen in the State of California. If this is true, there must be also a correspondindly large number of shot- gun users elsewhere in the Coast territory. This being so the merits of the Ithaca gun must be known and liked by many, for early this fall a large Coast invoice had been disoosed of. Mr. Phil B. Bekeart, the Coast agent, wired us: "We are cleaned cut of every 12 and 16 gauge Ithaca gun. Can't you rush us some. Everybody fighting for them." The resources of our factory have been pushed to ihe utmost. Seventeen grades of guns is surely va- riety enough to suit the wants and tastes of any sportsman. -Write for our Art Catalog and special prices. Ithaca Gun Company, Ithaca. N. T. Prominent on Sportsmens' Row. Clabrough, Golcher & Co., 538 Market street, San Francisco, has the enviable reputation of being the largest retail sporting goods establishment on the Pacific Coast. Anything in every branch of outdoor and indoor sports may be procured there by devotee of rod, gun and dog, the outing enthusiast or summer camper, the athlete or automobilist. Among the manv high class specialties of this firm may be mentioned the Clabrough gun, the best se- lected stock of fishing rods and tackle to be found in the United States, and a line of cutlery and sun- dries that is unsurpassed. Their hand loaded shells supplied to trap shooting experts and lovers of upland and marsh shooting have a reputation second to none. The firm also carries on a wholesale business and has a large mail trade. The catalogue published by Clabrough, Golcher & Co. is complete in every es- sential and will be forwarded to any address upon application. A Standard of Quality. Nearly 13,000 cases of Selby Factory Loaded Shells ' was the output for last October orders This was the forerunner of a steady and growing demand upon the resources of the big ammunition plant of the Selby Smelting and Lead Company. The October supply this year was 33%% in excess of orders for October, 1904 The demand for Selby Factory Loaded Shells has been increasing annually— quality is the test, and sportsmen have found the loads to be what they want. Since the October output of nearly 13,000 cases, the output has been up to the full capacity of the plant. There are 500 Selby Factory Loaded Shells in each case; that means almost six and a half millions of shells for Coast sportsmen to start the hunting season with. These shells must have filled the bill, for the shooters have, like Oliver Twist, asked for more— the first taste merely whetted the appetite. Selby Loads are reliable. Hiqhest Honors to the Parker Gun. Parker Bros., Meriden, Conn., have received from the Lewis & Clark Centennial management a diploma for gold medal awarded for their Hammerless Gun The award was made to Parker Bros by the highest jury of awards known as the Superior Jury composed of five of the representative men of Portland. Thus the highest compliment was paid the Parker Gun by the Centennial Exposition. The Parker Gun is famous for simplicity of action, beauty of outline and finish, and exceptional shooting and wearing qualities. In a recent announcement Parker Bros, suggest to sportsmen the advisability of sending to their ad- . dress, 30 Cherry street. Meriden.

A Widely Known Favorite. Remington guns are made of selected material, after an exhaustive test in the factory testing department, which selected parts have been proven best adapted, each to its particular purpose. All of the Remington firearms are carefully tested with a standard proof test and all parts are subjected to a close detail in- spection while in process. After shooting for accuracy, the arm is then re- quired to pass a final inspection, which is very rigid and practically obviates the possibility of any goods leaving the Remington works not up to the standard. Remington shotguns are bored for nltro powder, which can be used with perfect safety when properly and not excessively loaded by hand, or when the U. M. C. or other standard factory loaded ammuni- tion is used The Remington Arms Co. works at Ilion, N.

Do you remember your first rabbit, your scare when you flushed the first quail and the time you emptied the old shotgun at ducks 200 yards away? U. M. C. ammunition was preferred in those old days just as it is now. Boys used to ask for "U 22s." They do so now. Guide and sportsmen still take and use U. M. C. big game cartridges up North. They find them best. A Grand Record. Ballistite powder has been growing more and more in favor with sportsmen of the Pacific Coast within the last year than the most sanguine expectations of the wholesale and retail trade had anticipated For field, marsh or trap shooting it has been found, by those who have used it, to be a powder once used, used permanently. In the varied climatic conditions prevailing on the Coast the regularity and sameness of the high grade qualities of Ballistite has made it a strong favorite with many sportsmen. This was conclusively proven recently, for the sup- ply did not equal the sudden increased demand and the Coast agents. Baker & Hamilton, were for the time being unable to fill the orders coming in from all points. An effort to bring out a carload from the East was ineffectual for the reason that Eastern orders had so increased that there was a correspond- ingly heavy draught on the supply. Orders are a test of quality— hence the statement, "If you use it once, you will use it again." is borne out by facts. Both the amateur high and general averages at the second annual tournament of the Pacific Coast Trap Shooters' tournament. Ingleside, May, 1905. the Phil B. Bekeart perpetual challenge cup. the Anaconda cup at the Northwest Tournament. Portland, 1905, the Preliminary Handicap trophy and the Pacific Coast Handicap trophy. Interstate Shoot. Ingleside.

The Olympic Arms Co. sup- plied the major portion of them to sportsmen residing in San Francisco and its vicinity. The Pacific Hard- ware and Steel Company, San Francisco, are the Coast distributing agents for Peters Shells and Cart- ridges. During the trap shooting season this year Peters Shells were in high favor with shooters, who now use them for quail and duck hunting. At Kent, Ohio, October 12th. Mr. J. A. Smith of Massillon. Ohio, won high average, and Mr. J. L. Schlitz of New Berlin, Ohio, tied Mr. F. I Bean of Ravenna for second average. All of these gentlemen used Peters Factory Loaded Shells. At Pen Argyl, Pa., October 2d and 3d. the high pro- fessional average was won by Mr. Neaf Apgar, and high amateur average by Mr. E. F. Markley. both using Peters Ideal Factory Loads. Just Remember. As much care should be used in securing the dimen- sions of a gun as in measuring for a suit of clothes A poor fit in a gun is sure to result in dissatisfaction and a low score; hence in order to avoid the annoy- ance in consequence upon such results, a few sug- gestions are offered, which if strictly observed, will be a great help toward securing a fit that is just right, and therefore higher scores or more birds in the field. To find the correct stock dimensions, the proper drop, kind of gun barrels, shooting qualities, choke, etc., send to the Hunter Arms Co., Fulton. N. T.. for their latest catalogue. The booklet is a compilation of information that no user of a modern breech loader can afford to be without. The illustrations appeal strongly to the intelligent sportsmen. The Hunter one-trigger gun is fully described — this gun is war- ranted not to "balk" or "double"; in fact, is a perfect single trigger gun. All L. C Smith guns are guar- anteed to shoot any nitro powder made and not get loose. In the Shopping Center. For almost thirty years the business conducted for- merly by Mr. W. J. Shreve and now known as the Shreve-Barber Company, has been located in this city. Over a quarter of a century in trade with the general public and thousands of Coast sportsmen has given the two stores of the Shreve-Barber Company. 739 Market street and 521 Kearny street, a reputation that has built up a large growing business in the spoiling goods line. Since the beginning of the present year the serv- ices of Mr. H. E. Skinner, late of the E. T. Allen Co.. and more recently Mr. O. "W. (Parson) Jackson, have been secured and in consequence the fishing tackle department has been perfected to a high class stan- dard. Guns, ammunition, pistols, all kinds of sportsmen's clothing and equipments, besides a miscellaneous as- sortment of every variety of sporting goods are al- ways in stock and up to date in every respect. An Important Coast Agency. One of the largest and most important Coast branch agencies for the leading manufacturers in the United States of shotguns, pistols, nir rifles, athletic and field sports* sundries, smokeless powders and sportsmen's articles is the Phil B. Bekeart Company of this city. Mr. Phil B. Bekeart. the president of the corpora- tion, is noi\ only popular with "the trade" but is a clubman and sportsman of wide and influential ac- quaintance.

B5 w. E. Castle, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. Every breeder is familiar with the great complexity of hereditary processes. He knows that characters of the mil ort are inherited. These relate not only to general size and proportions, but also to the structure of individual parts, and not merely to struc- tural but to functional peculiarities as well. Thus, in - or strains of animals, we find inherited fecundity, or early maturity or ability to pu. on fat or to produce abundant milk; in other cases keen scent, fierce or gentle disposition, and numberless other characteristics are plainly mhented Very rarely are any two heritable traits necessarily ted." The co.v with a good flow of milk may or may not be gentle: the keen-scented dog may or mav not be speedy. Accordingly, we must conclude that different hereditary characters are inherited in- dependently of each other, and are probably repre- sented by different structural elements in the sexual element or germ We know, further, that the law's of transmission of different characters are different, so that we cannot estimate the force of heredity in the lump but must fix our attention on one character at a time if we wish to analyze the complex processes in operation. Francis Gallon (1SS9) was the first to recognize that in the case of certain characters the result of inheritance is a blend of the conditions found in the two parents, while in other characters inheritance is alternative between the condition found in the parents. , A good illustration of blending inheritance is found among rabbits which differ in size of ear. Lop-eared rabits have ears two or three times as long and as wide as those of ordinary rabbits. A cross between lop-eared rabbits and ordinary ones produces off- spring with ears of intermediate size, which sometimes stand erect and sometimes lop. The characters which were so distinct in the parents have in this case lost their identity in the offspring, and apparently cannot be recovered again in their original condition, for the offspring transmit to their young blood the blended character, rather than the extreme conditions found in their respective parents. It has been thought until quite recently that hered- itary processes in general were of this sort and that any result other than a blend was exceptional. But recent investigations do not bear out this idea. Alternative inheritance is illustrated in a cross be- tween the so-called Belgian hare and an albino rabbit. The Belgian hare is simply a gray-coated variety of the European rabbit, while albino rabbits are pink- eyed and have white hair; the Belgian is pigmented like the wild European rabbit, the albino is essentially unpigmented. A cross between the two produces off- spring, all of which have the pigmented or Belgian coat, none being albinos The effect is similar to that produced when two pieces of glass, one transparent, the other opaque, are held together. We see only the opaque one. Nevetheless, the two have not blended; each retains its own distinctness, and the two can be separated again at will. So it is in the Belgian produced by cross-breeding with an albino. The albino character is there, though unseen, and will appear as a distinct entity when the cross-bred reproduces, for it will be represented in ap- proximately half of the sex cells formed by the cross- bred animal, the alternative or Belgian character being represented in the other half. It is as if the two pieces of glass, combined originally to illustrate tne formation of a cross-bred animal, were separated again to illustrate the formation of the reproductive elements by the cross-bred. For every element formed having the opaque characters, there will be another having the transparent character, but there will be no elements of an intermediate nature. This simple principle, that in alternative inheritance sex cells of two sorts are formed by cross-bred indi- viduals, constitutes one of the most important dis- coveries ever made in the study of heredity. The dis- covery was made about forty years ago by an Aus- trian monk.'Gregor Mendel, who was engaged in the study of cross-bred garden peas. It however, attracted little attention at the time and was soon forgotten. Meanwhile, a great body of workers was studying with great minuteness the material basis of heredity. the sexual elements. Their investigations disclosed in the cell a complete basis for just this kind of alterna- tive? inheritance and led up to the re-discovery of Mcinl'-l's law simultaneously by several different ex- perlmental breeders, foremost among whom was the Dutch botanist, de Vries. Blende] found that in cross breeding betwreen alter- native characters, one uniformly dominates in the off- sprlng from its very nature, while the other disap- peari . Just as, when the two pieces of glass are held up together we see only the opaque one, the trans- parent one being Invisible. Mendel called the character seen in it ffsprlng dominant, the unseen one he called recessive. In rabbits, the gray pigmented or in hare i i is dominant over the albino, the lat- tei being recessive (unseen), in cross-bred animals. Similarly, in mice, guinea-pigs, and even in man, mal ng of Iblno with □ pure, pigmented individual oi iv pigmented offspring. In guinea-pigs the resetted or rough coat Is dominant over smooth (nor- coat); and short coat Is dominant over long i In rabbits, also Die normal or short coal dominates over the angora coal, and the si Ii bably true in cats nd goats as well. Among ea-plgs there occurs a series of alternative pig- meni types which show Mendcllan relations one to I I tier. If we write them in this order, (1) agouti (I. e , black with yellow, the ancestral or wild type of coat); (•>) Black; (3) Yellow; (4) Albino, we may say that each is dominant over all which follow it, and reces- sive in relation to all which precede it. Thus agouti mated with black, vellow or albino gives only agouti offspring: black mated with yellow or albino gives either black or agouti, but never yellow or alb-no, while yellow dominates only over albino. In man, a condition of bypophylangia (two-jointed instead of three-jointed digits) is dominnant over the normal condition. In mice, the peculiar waltzing habit of so-called Japanese mice is a recessive character in heredity. In man, a peculiar dark-colored condition of the urine, known as alkaptonuria, is inherited as a Mendelian recessive character. Many other illustra- tions might be given, but these will, perhaps, suffice to show that Mendelian or alternative inheritance is neither a rare nor an exceptional phenomenon and that it applies to the inheritance not only of charac- ters purely structural but also to those which are physiological as well. From the facts that cross-bred animals form sexual elements (or gametes) of two sorts, and that the two sorts are equally numerous, it follows that among their offspring dominant and recessive individuals will occur in definite proportions, as explained by pre- vious speakers. I have already stated that many characters are in- dependent of each other in heredity; I hope now to demonstrate the correctness of this statement in cases of alternative inheritance, even when the independent characters relate to the same bodily parts. For this purpose the coat characters of guinea-pigs and rabbits are well adapted, since they are exterior structures easily studied in the living animal. I hope to show you (1) that pigmentation of the hair is inherited quite independently of its length; and (2) that hair arrangement (in smooth or rough coat) is inherited quite independently of both pigmentation and length of hair. For example, when an ordinary short-haired guinea-pig is mated with a long-haired guinea-pig, all the young produced are short-haired and pig- mented, these being the dominant characters. Now, if the cross-bred young are bred together, offspring of four different sorts are produced. Two of four sorts are identical with the grandparents in character, they are short-haired pigmented animals and long- haired albinos respectively. But the other two sorts represent new combinations of characters; they are short-haired albinos and long-haired pigmented ani- mals. Further, these four sorts of individuals occur on the average in definite numerical proportions, viz. 9 short-haired pigmented animals; 3 short-haired albino animals; 3 long-haired pigmented animals; and 1 long-haired albino. Considering pigmentation and hair length separate- ly, we see (1) that there are 12 pigmented animals to 4 albinos, or 3 to 1, as expected; and (2) that there are 12 short-haired to 4 long-haired animals — again 3 dominants to 1 recessive. But if we consider the relation of each pair of characters to the other, we find absolutely no correlation between them. Albinism may or may not be associated in the grandparents. As. a matter of fact, when the animals are tested one by one, to determine the presence of recessive char- acters, we find that albinism, visibly present in 4 out of 16 offspring, is present recessive in 4 others, and that in half of these cases it is associated with short hair, while in the other half it is associated with long coat. In another experiment which I have performed with guinea-pigs, a cross was made involving three pairs of alternative coat characters, length, pigmentations, and roughness of coat. A long-haired rough albino was mated with short-haired, smooth, pigmented ani- mals. The young were all short-haired, smooth, and pigmented. The coat characters seen in these off- spring are the three dominant characters, two of which were received from one parent, one from the other; the three alternative recessive characters are present but unseen. When the young were bred together, they produced offspring of eight different sorts, including all possible combinations of the three pairs of alternative char- acters. One large class was like the parents; short-haired, rough, and pigmented. Two other classes were like the grandparents; short-haired, smooth, pigmented, and long-haired, rough albino. In addition, there were five other new classes not represented among the parents or grandparents. These were: Short-haired, rough albino; Short-haired, smooth albino; Long-haired, smooth albino; Long-haired, smooth pigmented, and Long-haired, rough pigmented. The eight classes of young produced in this experi- ment are not all equally numerous. The largest class is" that which contains the three dominant characters: the smallest that which contains the three recessive characters. Theoretically, they should number 27 in- dividuals and one individual respectively, in a total of 64 young. The experiment is still unfinished, but it is already evident that these proportions will be loughly approximated. This experiment illustrates two important princi- ples in heredity: First, if. as regards the hair alone, there exists such a variety of characters separately heritable, how great must be the number of such characters in the bodly as a whole, and how remote any individual ancestor, provided that in a consider- able number of heritable characters a choice is offered between alternative conditions. Secondly, it shows how a variety of new organic forms may quickly be produced by cross breeding, leading to the combina- tion in one race of characters previously found sep- arately in different races. Thus, in guinea-pigs, one can obtain within two generations any desired com- bination of the three pairs of alternative coat char- acters, if he produces a sufficiently large number of individuals; but to obtain the desired combination in individuals which will breed true, is not so simple a matter. If the desired combination contains one or more dominant characters, then each animal selected must be tested for the presence of undesirable reces- sives before one can be sure that the new race will breed true. In practice it will probably be found best by the breeder not to work with too many characters at a time, but to eliminate the undesirable recessives one by one. Otherwise the search tor the one individ- ual in a large number whicli will breed true may prove a long and tedious process. If we deal with one character at a time, the chances are that 1 in 4 of the second generation of animals reared will meet our Ideal; if we deal with twro characters at a time, the chances are 1 in 16, while if we deal with thre^ characters at a time the chances are only 1 in 64, and so on, with the chances of success diminishing in a geometrical series From what has thus far been said, it would appear that in alternative inheritance, characters behave as units, and, more than that, as wholly independent units, so that to forecast the outcome of matings is merely a matter of mathematics. Fortunately, or. un- forunately, this is not the whole ruth. It is true that in alternative inheritance characters do behave as. units independently of each other, but the union of dominant with recessive in a cross-bred animal is not so simple a process as putting together two pieces of glass, nor is their segregation at the formation of gametes so complete in many cases as the separation of two glass plates. The union of maternal and pa- ternal substance in the germ cells of the cross-bred animal is evidently a fairly intimate one, and the segregation which they undergo when the sexual ele- ments are formed is more like cutting apart two kinds of differently colored wax fused in adjacent layers of a common lump. Work carefully as we will, traces of one layer are almost certain to be included in the other, so that while the two strata retain their identity each is slightly modified by their previous union in 'a common lump. Thus, when we cross short-haired with long-haired guinea-pigs, we get among the second generation off- spring a certain number of long-haired animals with hair less long that that of the long-haired grand- parent, or with long hair on part of the body only. Further, certain of the short-haired animals have hair a little longer and a little softer than that of the short-haired grandparent. Again, rough-coated guineau-pigs produced by cross breds often have coats less fully rough than that of their rough ancestor, lacking certain of the typical rosettes. Finally, when an albino is crossed with a fully pigmented animal, the result may be, not a wholly pigmented animal, but one spotted with white. While such a cross-bred animal forms a full quota (one-half) of albino gam- etes, the pigment bearing gametes formed by it fre- quently bear this spotted or modified pigmented con- dition. Cross breeding, accordingly, is a two-edged sword which must be handled carefully. It can be used bs the breeder to combine in one race characters found separately in different races, but care must be exer- cised if it is desired to keep those characters unmodi- fied. If modification of characters is desired at the same time as new combinations, then cross breeding becomes doubly advantageous for it is a means of inducing variability in characters, as for example, in the intensity of pigmentation and in the length of hair, quite apart from the formation of new groupings of characters. Sometimes it causes a complex character to break up into simpler units, as the agouti coat of the wild guinea-pig into segregated black and yellow, or total pigmentation into a definite series of pig- mented spots. In other cases it operates by bringing into activity characters which have previously been latent in one or other of the parental forms. Now, what bearing, we may ask, have these theor- etical matters on the practical work of the breeder? They show (1) that a race of animals is for practical purposes a group of character's separately heritable; and (2) that the breeder who desires in any way to modify a character found in this group, or to add a new character to the group should first consider carefully how the character in question is inherited. If the character is alternative in heredity to some other character, cross breeding between the two, followed by selection for pure individuals, will within two generations give the desired combination of char- acters in individuals which will breed true. This pro- cess of selection is simplest when the characters to be combined are recessive in nature, but individual breeding tests become necessary when dominant char- acters are included in the combination desired If a character gives blending inheritance, it must be treated in "a different way. Suppose, for example, that we desire to combine lop-ears in rabbits with albinism How shall we proceed? First, mate a pig- mented lop with an ordinary short-eared albino. The offspring will be pigmented half lops. If two of these be bred together, their young will all be half lops, but about one in four of them will be albinos. Now these albino half lops may be mated with pure pig- mented lops. The young will again be pigmented, but this time will be three-quarter lops, and by breed- ing these together, albino three-quarter lops may bei obtained in the next generation. By continuing this process of Mack- crossing with the lop-eared stock, and selecting the albino offspring obtained, the lop- eared character may be steadily improved in the al- binos until it is practically as good as in the original lop-eared stock. The rate of improvement possible can be readily calculated. The albino young will be After 2 generations, % lops: After 4 generations, % lops; After 6 generations, % lops; After 8 generations, 15-16 lops; After 10 generations, 31-32 lops, etc. This will be the result on the hypothesis that no December 23, 1905] — ?7 premiums Cult ornla Statu Fairs 19ttt-3H.

NOTHING ON EARTH BEATS IT. Park Ridge, 111, Dec. 2, 1904. The Lawrence-Williams Co., Cleveland, Ohio. I used your GOMBAULT'S CAUSTIC BALSAM when you first put it uopn the American market. I have always had It since, and have it now in my medicine case. There's nothing on earth that beats it I am from Missouri* If there is anything better, show it to me.

I have cured lots of cases of fistula and spavin bone. bog. blood, with GOMBAULT'S CAUSTIC BALSAM. On bog and blood spavin removed all the bunch; but on bone, killed it, cured the lameness and removed a larger part of the bunch Can remove all if taken in time; also splints, curbs, thorough- pins— in fact, ail enlargements— and have met with the very best of results. S- J. MILLER. WILL DO MOKE THAN ANY OTHER MEDICINE. Stuart, Neb., Jan. 31, 1905. The Lawrence-Williams Co., Cleveland, Ohio. Six years ago I took a bunch off a horse's leg just below the knee as big as a man's head. I am now using it on a colt which cut his foot in a wire fence and grew a new hoof , and foot is enlarged above hoof. The foot is gradually geiting smaller, and think in a little time will be down to its natural size* GOMBAULT'S CAUSTIC BALSAM will do more than any other medicine I ever used for removing growths on horses.

While be- ing driven in charge of Mr. Macdonald's second trainer, the animal became frightened at an automo- bile, shied and broke one of the wheels of the exer- cising cart, throwing out the driver.

Meridian is by Sl.nrnocolon 2:13^, dam Sidane by Sidney, second dam Addie S. by Steinway. No horse on the coast carr.es as much of the Strathmore blood in his veins as Meridian and he should be a very valuable horse for the horsemen of Arizona to patronize.

John Martin, the well known fruit grower of Wood- land, Yolo county, has a trio of geldings by Diablo 2:09% that look like future prize winners. He has a three-year-old and a two-year-old, both bays that are fine individuals, and very promising from a speed standpoint. A brown two-year-old by Diablo out of Buttonette, own sister to Gen Logan, sire of Miss Logan 2: 06*4- is certainly one of the largest and handsomest geldings the writer has seen in many a day. Both these two-year-olds are natural pacers. Zombowyette by Zombro reduced her record to 2: 16 \i in a winning race at Phoenix, Arizona, on Christmas Day. This mare was bred by L. H.

The program includes polo pony racing, club tennis championships in golf for men and women, long- distance automobile race from Los Angeles to Coro- nado, automobile races for two and i^ur cylinder cars, economy races for automobiles and a pigeon shooting carnival. The last event will take place the first part of April. Many local men will compete. A dozen farmers and business men of Woodland. Yolo county, have recently formed an association and purchased the French coach stallion Caton 3S96. for the sum of $2,700. Caton is said to be one of the finest specimens of this breed ever brought to Cali- fornia, and will doubtless be well patronized by the horse breeders of Yolo county.

Custer is by Sidney Dillon, out of Maud, dam of Maudee 2:2-1 ^4 and Legation 2:23^ by Nutwood, and was bred at the Santa Rosa Stock Farm. He was purchased by Mr. Adams as a two-year-old at the farm sale in this city in June 1903. for $120. Horse- men who have seen him in his work believe he can beat 2:10 rather handily.

Aptos Ranch, Santa Cruz county, will be held in this city sometime during February next. Sandy Smith is now getting them ready for the sale and un- doubtedly has as fine a lot of young horses as can b M seen on any farm in California. There are twenty- five head in all, by Dexter Prince and Cupid 2: IS, thej latter own brother to Sidney Dillon. A bav mare full sister to Venus II 2:11% is one of the choice ones. She is thoroughly broken and not arraid of anything;! is a splendid roadster with speed enough to train for the track. One of the handsomest horses every bred on the farm is by Dexter Prince out of Gallata by Stamboul. Gallata is the dam of Zambia 2:14%. a fast trotter that took her record on one of the eastern tracks last year. Another that will be offered for sale is an own brother to Harold D. 2:11%. He is* three years old and just broken but shows lots of speed. A three year old by Dexter Prince out ozfl Psyche 2:16%, by Cupid is showing such a good gait, f level head and so much speed that Sandy is already! predicting great things for him. There are two Dex- ter Prince fillies out of the McKinney mare that pro- duced the fast Cupid filly that Budd Doble has at !l San Jose, that are splendid prospects. All these young' horses are being driven daily on the roads about Aptos where they meet steam cars, automobiles, electric cars and all other contrivances liable to; frighten horses. When they are shipped to the sale Sandy will have them familiar with all these objects and they will be in shape to put to work on the road or track.

Manager H. 2:20. has been recently purchased by A. G. F. Stice of Brookfield, Mo., who also owns his sire. Manager 2:06. Manager H. is the champion yearling pacer of the world. He will be kept up dur- ing the winter and in the spring will be put in train- ing with a view to lowering the world's record for two-year-old pacers which at the present time is held by Directly with a record of 2:07% made in 1S94. Every wound or sore on a horse should be washed daily with an antiseptic solution. If this is done the wound will heal quicker than if left alone and there will be no danger of the sore getting- worse and finally causing the death of the animal. The best antiseptic solutions are made from the coal tar preparations — carbolic acid. etc. These may be mixed with w-ater in the proportion of one to eight. If these are notl handy borax used in the water or sprinkled on the j wound immediately after washing it is a good antiseptic. During the season Prince Alert tvas sent against the watch. His appearance created much excite- ment. He is the first pacer to appear on Austrian tracks and his performance may encourage Euro- peans to take up the side-wheelers. Prince Alert's wonderful flight of speed astonished the spectators,! particularly when, on September 10. he paced a full mile in 2:07 5-10. It was difficult to secure a pace-l maker lor Prinze Alert, and he was greatly handi- { capped in his speed trials. J. T.

December 30, 1905J QUiv gvvsOKV miCi gtfwrismdft TROTTING, QAITINQ AND BALANCING. i-i.i l .1 ii. 1 Paper read before the members of the Chicago Veter- inary Society by O. E. Dyson, M. D. C, Chief In- spector. Bureau of Animal Industry. My object in presenting the subject of shoeing and incidentally that of gaiting and balancing fast trot- ters, pacers and ordinary road horses, is to remind the members of this association that an important branch of the profession has been neglected to such an extent in the past that the owner of a knee-knock- ing, forging, interfering or scalping horse seldom ap- peals to the veterinarian for assistance. Lucrative fees are thereby overlooked, and the horse, perhaps a prize, or at least a serviceable animal, is sacrificed, or, even worse, allowed to pass from good hands to a cheap owner, whose only object is to pound so much work out of every horse, regardless of the pain and torture endured. From a humanitarian standpoint the veterinarian should at least have a knowledge of the art of shoeing for the purpose of correcting or over- coming faulty gaits, rather than leaving the animal to the tender mercies of the blacksmith, who, nine times out of ten, is only interested to the extent of the price of shoeing. The natural gaits of a horse are the walk, trot, pace and gallop. "Without attempting to describe the ac- quired or saddle gaits, the running- walk, foxtrot, single-foot and canter may be referred to as accom- plishments and the result of education. Imperfections in the above-mentioned gaits are due to many natural causes, such as lack of education. faulty conformation or abnormalities and from ac- quired causes, such as improper temperament, exces- sive or non-development of certain voluntary muscles involved in the act of locomotion, or they may be due to ignorance of the owner or blacksmith as to the adaptability of the animal and the proper method of shoeing for the purpose intended. "While not posing as an authority on shoeing, I have • as the result of my observation and experience during the past twenty years associated a few facts in regard to the development of speed, with the art of horse- shoeing, or what might more properly be termed the art of shoeing and the phenomena of speed develop- ment. The first principles necessary to observe with the object of having a perfectly gaited horse, is to study the individual and associate such facts as regards conformation and general makeup, with his way of going as ordinarily shod, at a clip which is intended to be utilized. The next step to be considered, and the one which should govern the proper method of shoeing, is the horse's temperament The horse should always be shod according to the dimensions of his mental caliber. Shoeing cannot in all instances, however, be made a panacea for correcting faulty gaits of horses. In- telligent bitting and driving must not be overlooked, especially if the animal is of a high-strung nervous temperament, and in some instances, owing to a lack of mental co-ordination, the desired result cannot be accomplished by either shoeing or bitting. Resort must then be made to mechanical means, by use of hopples. Hits and checks may also be included among the mechanical means of gaiting and balancing horses, and frequently take the place of considerable weight which would otherwise be necessary to add to or take from the shoe, in order to accomplish the purpose. A good driver should, through the agency of bit and rein, be able to transmit motor impulses originat- ing in his own brain to the horse. A poor driver, on the other hand, is not only unable to transmit such impulse, but constantly interrupts the natural motor impulses originating in the brain of the horse, thereby frequently causing a good-gaited horse to become ad- dicted to the habit of inco-ordination. with its attend- ing results. You have all no doubt witnessed the dis- astrous results of placing a good-gaited horse in a poor driver's hands. Interfering is probably the most constant source of annoyance. In front it is usually due to faulty con- formation, involving the chest or forequarter. The thoroughbred type may be cited as confirmed inter- feres, geldings, owing to early castration, being par- ticularly predisposed. "With this typp of a horse in- terfering is usually due directly to the fact that he is narrow chested, and good action is seldom associated with this type, as a large majority are stiff-kneed, owing to a lack of natural muscular development Contrast the above type with that of a stag or stallion and note the difference in conformation, style and action. Calf-kneed horses, unless heavy in the chest, with legs set well apart, are apt to be troublesome. The same may be said of horses with straight pasterns. Low headed and sluggish horses might also be placed in this class. Horses that toe out are notorious, and can invariably be placed in the interfering and knee- knocking type, with legs set well apart. Pacers seem to be particularly prone to this malformation, and a pair of knee-boots must accompany every trotter or pacer that possesses a three-minute clip, if he stands toed out. En this connection it may be added that pigeon-toed horses never interfere or hit their knees. Interfering behind is so common that no class or tvpe of horse can be excepted, as the fault arises from causes too numerous to mention. First of all. nar- row, drooping-hipped, low-going trotters are the worst offenders. On the contrary, pacers seldom if ever interfere, except in walking or going slow. Green horses are apt to interfere during the first six months of their city life, as it requires at least a period of that length to overcome such predisposing causes as walking in a narrow furrow during the early spring work on the farm, and later in the season perhaps do- ing more or less travel over country roads, where a • wide-gaited horse finds it very tiresome to cover a distance of a lew miles with one font in the other upon a ridge. In substantiation of the theories expressed regard- ing the farm horse, it may be said that trotting-bred colts, notwithstanding manifest predisposition owing to conformation, seldom interfere after a season's work at the track, owing entirely to a uniform development of their muscular system, and an intelligent method of shoeing with an object of overcoming such defects, whether natural or acquired. Knee-knockers may ordinarily be placed in two dis- tinct classes. First the high-going horse that toes out. and second, the low-going, narrow-chested trot- ter or pacer with speed. Beware of the latter, as he will also, in all probability, interfere when going slow. Gorging, scalping and shin-hitting are the direct causes of hitching behind, and can usually be asso- ciated with trotters, owing to their inability to prop- erly extend themselves in front. This condition ap- plies particularly to a class of horses with extensor flexor muscles equally developed behind, and compara- tively high, full action, a straight or otherwise, in con- trast to a dwelling, forward movement or turning of the fore feet, complicated by a lateral twisting or turning of the foot, or leg. either in or out. due to nondevelopment of the extensor muscles of the anterior limb. Line-pacers will frequently brush their hind coronet hard enough to cause them to hitch or roll in their efforts to avoid the contact, which seriously interferes with the development of speed. Horses that carry a high head on account of tender mouths are frequently addicted to the habit of inter- fering with the coronary band behind, owing to the fact that their attention is concentrated on the mouth. Here it is plain to be seen that the reflex motor impulses in excess cause a high free action in front at the expense of their hind action. WThen proper bitting fails in such cases it is often necessary to use a shoe much heavier behind than in front. In order to overcome or counterbalance the reflected motor im- pulses. On the other hand pullers and luggers are frequently the result of a lack of requisite amount of weight in the front shoes or an excessive weight in the hind shoes necessary to balance the brain. Hitting the elbows is due to overdevelopment of the flexor muscles and in order to overcome the fault it has been found necessary to develop the extensors by use of toe-weights In many instances, however, it will be found necessary to let the heels grow high in order to lessen the tension upon the flexor muscles. This will to some extent retard flexion until momen- tum has carried the body past the center of gravity or the point where flexion ceases and extension begins. That is, the object should be to intercept the act of flexion before it is completed and hasten the act of extension. In case the offender has long toes it may be necessary to shorten them or to add a small toe- calk to the shoe, which in many instances will suffice without the addition of toe-weights. Anticipating the question. "How is a person to know when the horse is properly gaited and balanced?" I can only answer by saying that it depends entirely upon the judgment of the driver, or the person super- intending the shoeing. Mention might be made of a few cardinal points, however. For instance, any man. unless he be devoid of sensation, may observe when a horse driven on a level road gives him the sensation of driving on a down grade that horse needs a weight to develop his extension in front. On the other hand, should he seem to be ascending or climbing a grade, the reverse is true, and the remedy would be to lessen the weight in front and increase it behind. You should always be able to drive a well balanced horse without a check, and not experience the sensations mentioned. The wonderful speed attained by trotters and pacers during the past few years has. without question, been solely due to the development of brain and nerve, of which an inherited trotting or pacing instinct is a result in the progeny of developed sires and dams. In proof of this fact reference might be made to the thoroughbred, whose development by contrast would seem insignificant, and may be accounted for by the fact that the same system of shoeing and training now in vogue was in use twenty years ago. brain and nerve development having been almost wholly confinded to the jockey and trainer and the natural results or heridity. A normally developed brain and nervous system will invariably reflect the physical condition On the other hand, the physical condition will reflect an ab- normality. Most of the world's r .-cords in tests of speed and endurance are held by stallions, by mere force of predominating will power. "Conditioning the brain" should therefore be used in lieu of the familiar term "legging him up,'* as expressed by horsemen when preparing a horse to carry his speed and go the route. In shoeing horses to obviate or overcome a faulty conformation or gait it must be remembered that in the beginning of the stride the foot leaves the ground from the point farthest from the median line or center of gravity, and the greatest muscular efforts in flexing the limb from that point are confined to the muscles farthest removed. For example — in a horse that toes out the abductor muscles that assist in the art of flexion are highly developed in comparison with the abductors involved in the act. Consequently the foot, during its elevation, is in such a position as to cause it to describe the arc of a circle during the act of extension, thereby bringing it in contact with the ankle, shin or knee, depending of course upon the height of the flexion. The same is true with a pigeon- \<<.-- ■■] horse, except that the arc of (he circle described is that of abduction, consequently there is never any interference with the opposite member. In either cast, however, there is ;i |it to he considerable interference with the forward movement of the hind foot or leg while partly extended, and at that time the act of forging, shin-hitting, scalping or grabbing the quarter occurs with trotters. With pacers only the act of abduction of the forefoot causes any interference with the forward movement (if the opposite hind foot, the usual result of which is grabbing the quarter oi brush- ing the hind coronet. It would be impossible to form set rules for shoeing in order to overcome defects in gait, either natural, owing to conformation, predisposition and tempera- ment, or acquired, as heretofore mentioned. A safe rule to follow, however, is to ascertain the cause and overcome it by menial balance or physical develop- ment. In this connection I have no hesitancy in saying that too much attention has been given to the foot and apparently no notice taken by the average horse owner or blacksmith of the fact that a horse is pos- sessed of a brain, which controls all voluntary move- ments, and that too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the fact that the highest nerve centers have been in the ordinary process of mechanical shoeing, habitually subordinated to inferior, or pedal extrem- ities A term which fully expressed my theory of horse shoeing is "Shoe for the purpose of balancing the brain," or in other words, for the purpose of physical development, the establishment and maintenance of perfect co-ordination between the brain and voluntary muscular system involved in the development of a natural or acquired gait, rather than a purely mechan- ical standpoint. When you have succeeded in doing this you may depend upon the rest of the animal economy to work in unison, and rapid progress can then be made in the development of an ideal road horse or of prospective speed. It might be well, how- ever, to mention the use of hopples as the only suc- cessful mechanical means of overcoming inco-ordina- tion of motor impulses in trotters or pacers, when physical and functional development fails. But in proof of the fact that physical and mental develop- ment go hand in hand, note the scarcity of hoppled trotters today in comparison with a few years ago. when the system of development and training was simply mechanical. Motor impulses are always the result of stimuli originating by direct or reflex action upon the sen- sory nerves, and transmitted to the brain for the pur- pose of elaboration and direction. Thus we find that ■ voluntary muscles to which motor impulses are direct- ed in excess of other muscles, develop accordingly, or according to their use or disuse. As mental and phy- sical development in all instances is directly responsi- ble for the perfection of the gait of a sound horse, and being directly subject to the will of man, through education, it is plain to be seen that the effect of increasing or diminishing the weight in the shoe, or changing the angle of the foot, and consequently the position of the limb, will be communicated to the brain and transformed into motor impulses, and the desired effect, that of development of the muscles necessary to overcome the original defect, will be accomplished. The greatest difficulty encountered in shoeing horses for the purpose of gaiting or balancing is to be able to convince the owner that instantaneous results can- not be accomplished. It is impossible to immediately overcome excessive or non-development, either physi- cal or functional, by merely changing the angle of the foot, the weight or the shape of the shoes. The following are a few of the common points to be observed before attempting to direct the shoeing of a horse to prevent interfering, or to overcome a faulty gait: First note the general conformation and posture of the feet and legs with reference to their anatomical relations, while standing in a natural position. Ry standing in front of the animal and drawing an imag- inary line from the upper portion of the legs to the point of the toe, any abnormality such as toeing out or in can be readily discerned. Change your position and note the pastern with ref- erence to its straightness or obliquity A slight spring- ing or tendency toward being calf -kneed may also be noted at this time. Pick up each foot and carei'ully note how each shoe has been worn, their approximate weight and length of service, and make a careful inquiry of the driver as regards the horse's disposition and driving quali- ties. Also observe the kind of bit and check used. Then have the horse driven over a smooth pavement, directly in front of you for a short distance ai turned in the same manner, at a clip ordinarily re- quired or generally utilized. From this position ft is easy to note the carriage of the foot or limb during the progress of the stride. After viewing m, from this position, both at rest and in motio back a few paces, have him driven past you several times in order that you may carefully not of tlexion and the act of extension, either of which may I e primary cause of interference or faults gait, and possibly as easily remedied as Si I During this exercise every movement of the animal must be noted, and especially that of the offending foot or limit, as regards its relations to the rest the animal economy.

THE INFLUENCE OF AGE. INTERCITY MATINEE. One of the topics which came up for discussion at the recent annual meeting of the board of directors of the League of Amateur Driving Clubs was that of initer-city matinees. During the past two seasons any matinee club in membership with the league was al- lowed to hold an inter-city matinee, the racing to be conducted in accordance with the rules of the league. The expense connected with holding a successful inter-city matinee is rather heavy, as is the shipping <»f the horses from city to city. The members of the various clubs are business and professional men wmo often times are prevented from attending these meet- ings because of their business duties.

At what age will a sire or dam produce their best progeny? In this form the ciuestion has been discussed by many of the ablest biologists of America and Europe. Some contend that the best results are ' had from young sires and dams. They can give a plausible theory why this should be so and back it up with statistics. Those who believe in the virtues of the middle aged sires and dams make out an equally good case, while those who hold that the best progeny may be expected from aged sires and dams can prove their case by the records. Indeed if a man w-ill search the records for a theory he can find a new one as often as he likes. The question in its popular form is not w*hat it ap- pears to be and if it be studied in that shape a satis- factory conclusion it not likely to be reached. What the breeder really wishes to know first is this. What the influences of young sires and dams? Wherein do they differ from the influences of middle aged or aged sires and dams? When he solves that problem satisfactory he will have something of value on which to base an opinion. He will then find that the term "best" is compara- tive That what is "best" in one instance is not "best" in another. Or in other words, he will find that "best" results may be expected by breeding cer- tain young animals together. In other cases "best" results will be reached by crossing certain young and old animals, or by breeding mature or aged animals together. If there is any difference, that is any general dif- ference in the progeny of young or aged animals, we must find out what that difference is before we can decide which is "best" and which is not "best," and as indicated already we will find that the influences of parental age on the progeny are desirable or unde- sirable according to other conditions. If there is anything at all in the doctrine of heredity it is certain that a young animal will be more pre- potent in the peculiar qualities of youth, such as en- thusiasm, energy, dash, brilliancy and all their rela- tive qualities. The young, highly bred animal is full of fire and vim and the natural energies of youth. They may not be thoroughly developed but they are there. The young animal has a developing nature, a tendency to investigate, and a physical and psychical quickness that is wanting in mature or aged animals. All these he will transmit. Of course they will not be lacking entirely in the progeny of mature or aged ani- mals. But they are more likely to be transmitted in their most intense form by the young There are also "follies of youth" that are more likely to show themselves in the progeny of the young. The young animal has faulty habits that are cured or wear away before he becomes aged. His progeny will have a tendency toward the same faults, and no matter how slight that tendency may be, it is present nevertheless and continued breeding in that line would seem to fix those instinctive habits. On the other hand wisdom comes with age. Animals learn by experience. They develop under culture, and the old dog or old horse knows the work for which he is bred better than the young one. His instincts have been developed, and he does easily the things that the young animal wastes a lot of energy over. This developed quality that comes only from long ex- perience and culture is transmissible by heredity. But these are the infirmities of age. And these, or a ten- dency in their direction is also transmissible by heredity. It will readily be seen that there are desirable and undesirable characteristics to be expected as a result of continuous breeding from young animals, just as there are desirable and undesirable characteristics to be expected as a result of persistent breeding from aged animals There is no truly responsive answer, therefore, to the question as to which of the two, young or old is the best to breed from. The practical application of the laws of heredity as regards young and old animals is a test of the breed- ers skill. Certain strains of good blood that show sluggishness would be helped by breeding to young, well developed animals. While other strains that were disposed to an undesirable degree of nervousness would be helped by breeding to aged animals which are still vigorous. There are strains of horses and dogs which are slow to develop. They have all of the instincts of their breed, but they do not operate easily or with sufficient precision. A dash of aged blood would seem to correct this. So too aged blood would benefit a strain that was not quite level headed. It is all a matter of judgment with the breeder. The man who is skilful will know the strong and weak points of his own strain and the strains he wishes to use for crosses. The question of suitable age is only one of the many questions to be considered in making crosses, and like all other breeding problems it must be understood before it can be turned to practical account Perhaps the most plausible arguments offered on the age problem are those put forth in behalf of aged sires. The records will show that the famous trotting and race horse sires have more speed to their credit through the progeny of their days past maturity than before. Noted setter and pointer sires have got more good progeny late in life than in their younger days. Rut there is good reason for that, apart from any special merits in the produce of old age. A trotting Stallion, for example, is not.likely to be well developed before maturity. Then if he shows individual excel- lence besides having a good pedigree he is bred too. In his younger days he is simply a well-bred horse and is used but little on good mares. When he shows his own worth by performance he gets but moderate patronage, for breeders are chary about using a sire until he has proven himself a producer of quality. By the time he has been developed and used enough to have developed progeny of merit, he is past middle age. That is the period at w7hich he becomes known as a well-bred animal of individual excellence which he transmits. As he grows older he has a larger number of get and becomes more and more popular So that it is the rule that sires have their greatest opportunities after they have passed the meridian of life, and naturally they have a larger number of bet- ter progeny at that period than they have earlier in life. The well bred setter or pointer is not likely to get into the championship field trial class until he is four years old, and at that time he may expect to be used on well-bred stock, likely to produce winners. But before this progeny can make much of a record to his credit he will be six or seven years old. Ho | would be popular then with breeders and would have his best opportunity after that period of life. But when he shows his best form as a sire thus late in life it will not do to say that the progeny owed any of its merits because of an aged sire. Of course the practice of breeding to immature ani- mals, or animals that are tottering on the brink of the grave, are not to be considered seriously by any breeder at all familiar with the principles of breeding. What is here meant by young animals are those which are mature but still on the young side of middle life. The aged animals under consideration are those which have passed middle life but are yet sound. There is a difference between these two, both physical and psychical, and there is a difference in their powers of transmission. In general terms it may be said that each will be likely to reproduce itself if the breeder will persist in following one or the other line of breeding. The peculiarities of age as distinguished from youth will assert themselves if a continuous line of that kind of breeding is followed. The enthusiasm of youth and all its correlated characteristics will surely tend to assert themselves in a long line of breeding from young animals. Both the qualities of age and the qualities of youth can be impressed on the progeny by the skilful breeder. To cross these qualities is only another method of improving a breed.— C.

As will be noticed by the advertisement in this week's issue, the date of the big sale at Indianapolis has been postponed from March 1st. 2d and 3d 'to March 26th to 31st. The Blair-Baker Horse Company, of which Frank P. Kenney is the sales manager, are expecting this to be one of the greatest sales of the new year, and reports 'the demand for good horses as very strong. Indianapolis is a splendid point to dis- pose of high class roadsters or track horses and Cali- fornia breeders who contemplate selling in the Eastern market should open correspondence with Mr. Kenney. December 30, 1905 j &povx&xx\an THOROUGHBRED DEPARTMENT. By RALPH H. FOZER. Lubin, from the W- W. Elliott stable, won the Christmas Handicap with 107 pounds up by five lengths from Proper in the fast time of 2:06, and with a lot up the proverbial sleeve. This is his first victory since the Thanksgiving Handicap, which was worth ?2,270, and in which he downed Proper and Beai - catcher. As the Christmas Handicap was of a value of $3,195 to the owner of the winner, Lubin is the heaviest-winning horse at the meeting thus far. Con- sidering that he was beaten by ov«r six lengths by Nera Lee at a mile on December 20th, both carrying 105 pounds, and by over five lengths by Callaghan December 13th at one and a sixteenth miles, Cal- laghan carrying 114 pounds to the Elliott horse's 106, there is little wonder over the bookmakers laying 10 to 1 last Monday, and the improvement was so sudden and startling that it looks like a mystery for the stewards to solve. Certainly the performance be- tween the Thanksgiving and Christmas Handicaps gave little indication that Lubin was a pound better than Proper, which he proved yesterday, counting three pounds to a length and three pounds in addition for the easy style in which the Lazzarone gelding won. In other words, he gave Proper an eighteen pound beating, at the least, and add eighteen to 107, and he should at the next essay be asked to carry 125 pounds to Proper's 124. Dr. Leggo ran an im- pressive race in the Christmas Handicap, considering it was his first start in several months. Carrying IIS pounds, Proper beat him a neck lor the place, in a hard drive, with the Doctor gaining on Jennings' horse. Callaghan showed that he is just a fast miler, for the way in which he "backed up" after going the eight furlongs was "bad medicine" for the many friends of Mr. Xealon and his flyer. Christine A. made Hugh McGowan look very com- mon in the fifth race Christmas, and is a vastly im- proved mare. The play on McGowan was very strong, and his race was in keeping with the play. The ques- tion naturally arises to race-goers, why this great improvement in the horse in forty-eight hours' time, even if Sandy did ride him Saturday and Knapp on Monday? On Saturday the gelding carried 93 pounds and ran his mile in about 1:43%, on Monday with twelve pounds more up, in about 1:42 9-10. This sort of running does more to injure "the game" than any other, seeing a horse go back in the betting on a Saturday with light weight up and on a Monday, with much more weight on, hundreds of dollars go in on its chances and you observe him run at least a fifteen pound better race than he did previously. Bearcatcher's handy length win at Ascot Park last Saturday in the $2,500 special at six furlongs adds another leaf to the heavy crown of laurels that en- circled his brown neck. Handzarra, admittedly inter- fered with a furlong out by Cruzados, was second, with Cruzados at her saddle-skirts, and the time was 1:13. "The Bear" ran the last quarter in 0:22%, a feat he is capable of performing any time he is fit and well. Garnett Ferguson, one o fthe most popular owners in California, had enough confidence in his horse to wager $5,000 on him at 4 to 5, and Bear- catcher went to the post at 7 to 10, Handzarra at 2% to 1 and Cruzados 4. Bearcatcher has now more ex- tremely fast performances to his credit from half a mile to a mile and a furlong than any horse living or dead. This sounds big, but the records will bear me out in the assertion, and I believe that Bearcatcher will retire to the stud the acknowledged American champion race horse. LONDON, December 21. — King Edward has sold for $150,000 his triple event winner. Diamond Jubilee, by St. Simon, out of Perdita II, to the Argentine Republic breeder, Senor Ignatio Correas. Diamond Jubilee won the 2,000 guineas, the Derby, the Eclipse stakes and the St Leger of 1900. He is a full brother of Per- simmons, also the Derby and St. Leger winner in 1896. He is also a full brother to Florizel, the sire of Vedas, Volodyovski and Doricles, which between them have won the 2,000 guineas, the Derby and St. Legar. The horse is to fill his season in England and to be delivered to his new owner in July. Only Flying Fox ($187,500) has exceeded the price paid for Diamond Jubilee, and it ties the sum given by W. O'B. Macdonough to an Argentine breeder for Ormonde. Kendal, sire of Galtee More, is now in the Argentine Republic, and his stock are reported as the best lookers in that land. Kendal is quite a travler himself, being once if memory serves, in Italy, taken back to England, thence to Ireland, and now to the far-off South American republic. At the Rancho del Paso sale at Chase's sale yard on the evening of December 21st, moderate prices prevailed, many yearlings selling for from $100 to $250 The top price of the sale was the bay colt im- ported Goldfinch-Miss Modred, Waiter Dean securing him for $1,000. A. Joseph paid $475 for a chestnut filly by Maxio-Revulsia, by Fresno, W. Jennings got the Watercress- The Dome filly for $250. W. Dean secured a bay colt by Maxio-Blithesome for $400. J. B. Leighton purchased several yearlings, presumably for the Sobra-Vista stable. The apprentice allowance is just now under discus- sion in turf circles all over the country. Without this allowance, which is a proper encouragement to boys learning to be jockeys, we would probably have seen no Hildebrand, Knapp, Radtke, Miller, McDaniel. Wiley or McBride, famous as saddle artists at this time, and there are many other good though not cele- brated riders out this way that would not have been heard from had the apprentice rule not been in vogue I believe the business of becoming a jockey should be just like learning any trade. It takes time, and I would suggest thai a boy be articled for three years as an apprentice and be entitled to the following al- lowances: The first year of his apprenticeship, six pounds: second year, four pounds; third year, two pounds. If he is apt and learns the art quickly, so much better for his employers, and I believe there should be first, second and third calls registered on an apprentice, just as on a "journeyman" jockey, and that these employers be the only ones entitled to the above apprentice allowance. With three years' ex- perience a boy should make a thorough race rider, and under this plan the full-Hedged riders would not be supplanted by the apprentices (many of whom have not been riding for more than a year). Then if the Racing Secretaries should get together and agree to make the "below-the-scale" races fewer and further between in their programs, and we would see the heavier riders having a chance to remain in the business much longer and become more proficient than they are at the present, for Secretaries un- doubtedly cater too much to the owners of horses that do not like weight. At last the famous Morris Park race track prop- erty at Westchester, X. T., has been sold to a syndi- cate of real estate men and will be cut up into build- ing lots. The rumor that the track was to be sold for residential purposes has been going the rounds of the metropolitan iturfd'C-m for many years, but the Westchester Racing Association had a hard and fast lease and it was not until the completion of the Bel- mont course on Long Island that racing was finally abandoned at Morris Park. Four years of the lease are yet to run and it is understood that the purchas- ing syndicate has made arrangements to take it the hands of the association. The property is in the Bronx, adjoins Van Xess Park, comprises 300 acres and belonged ilo the Morris family. The price is said to have been around two and one-half million dollars. NEWS FROM THE NORTH. ABOUT HANDICAPPING. (Christmas Rural Spirit.) T. L. Davidson, Jr , who bought a hall inti resl in Hal D. from Homer Davenport, has arranged to keep him in the stud at Salem, Oregon, next year. The prospects for a successful i s son on the Xorth Pacific Circuit next year looks very natter- ing. Salem will lead out with the richest program ever offered on the circuit which will draw horses from all sections. Let other associations follow up with liberal purses and guarantee two harness events each day and sucess is assured. Among the winter's curiosities of turf literature is this from a writer for the Xew York Telegraph: It is gratifying to notice that the question of handicap racing on trotting tracks is receiving more serious attention. In the past all suggestions to this effect have been only ridiculed, but so many improve- ments have been introduced on the harness turf late- ly, and they have been so readily accepted by horse- men and track managers1, that the advocates of the handicapping system have taken renewed courage. Another reason why the matter is being agitated now is because it has been tried over the trotting tracks of Europe with satisfactory results, and is1 now in general vogue. Many experienced trotting horse men believe that through this system alone long scoring, perhaps the greatest drawback of harness racinig, could be done away with. Trotting horses could be handicapped in distance according to their records just as readily as runners are in weight, and by a standing start scoring can be entirely avoided. How much ground a horse covers at certain gait has already been calculated by mathematical pre- cision, and it will be a very easy matter to handi- cap horses with a record difference of three seconds, and more or less, placing them at different dis- tances according to> their records, the slowest under the wire and the fastest ones as far back as their pre- vious marks will handicap them. The system should first of all appeal to track managers, for more than one reason. By allowing horses of different records to compete in the same class there will be no lack of entries; in fact, they will perhaps be larger than can be taken care of when the start is made. In the second place the system will surely prove acceptable to the race-going public and increase the gate receipts' to- a noticeable degree. The advantages of the system are undoubtedly more in< favor of owners and drivers than track man- agers. The horse with a record of, say 2:23%, will be given an opportunity to start in a field which includes horses with records of 2:20 and often faster on equal terms. There will be no danger of outclassing horses as fast as they are liable under the present method. Besides there will be no reason why every horse should not be driven to its limit in every heat of the race. The only difficulty for the trainei-s. if it be at all a hardship, is that horses should be trained and edu- cated for a standing start, that is to get away quickly. Any horse could be trained to it just as easily as they are on the continent, and surely much better. Educated to a standing start, horses will not waste their strength and energy in scoring, and can be raced more heats and entered in more races. They will last longer. The main objection to the system is the fact that tthe field of starters will be strung along part of the distance, but then, what a difference between the stringing up scon after the start, as most of the heats are now, and being so at the start? There is no rea- son to believe that the finishes will not be just as close and exciting as they are now. And the mosl interesting part of a harness race is the finish. Manv conltend that by the handicap system may not have as many fast performer.- at the end of each season as we do now. Whether there is any truth in 'this remains to be found after the system has heen tried. Even granting that such will prove to be. vet the question is what is the advantage of having 105 2:10 trotters and pacers at the dose of every rat- ing season'.' What is the advantage to the harness turf because some of the best performers are out- classed every year, and practically lost to the horse- loving public? Some enterprising track manager should give the system a proper trial. Which may pro ■ a blessing to harness racing. John Lance writes from Walla Walla that he had to put to death his old favorite Sam Bowers, mi, .,, count of a broken leg caused by a kick from another horse. Sam Bowers was one of the best known horses on the Northern Circuit. He had a pacing record of 2:11, and a trotting record of 2:19%, which he made this year. He has started 48 times, won 21 races and only outside of the money eight times The loss will be heavy on Mr. Lance, as he was considered a money winner in his class.

It was a record-breaker as regards the number of horses sold, some 1014 chang- ing owners. The average price, $4 IS. was not as high as a year ago. but the (Offerings were not nearly the equal of those disposed of in 1904. The sale right through contained very few animals of demonstrated high class. Before the sale it was believed that there was only an ordinary demand for anything not strict- ly high grade, but as the bidding was lively for all kinds, it demonstrated that there is a desire for com- monplace stock if nothing better is offered. The horses sent from New England scld almost without exception for much more than the consignors had set them at. Not as many horses were bought by Xew Englanders as usual, but the quality was away ahead of anything in the past, a most healthy sign. There never has been a time when horsemen hereabouts have been so keen after racing material as -this fall. and from present indications more Xew England horses will be campaigned in 1906 than ever before. Every trainer one meets has a commission to buy a good hcrse. Some are limited in price, but the ma- jority of them appear to have an unlimited order." A corporation representing the best business men of Washington C. H., Ohio, are building an enormous combination horse sale pavilion in that city. It is to be 600 feet long and 100 feet wide, with a speed- way thirty feet wide through the center of the entire building, to be equipped with all m dern conven- iences, and will accommodate 500 head of horses in large, well ventilated stalls. Encircling the sale ring is an amphitheater seating 1000 people. From the present outlook the management expects to have many high class horses in their inaugural sale. Washington is located in the center of a good breed- ing country. Charles Willarcl, who has had several years' experience in the combination sale business, will be general manager.

All in all. it was a record-breaking event. and the hearty co-operation of the Indianapolis Gun Club was not the least meritorious adjunct. Strenuous work was, of course, necessary to get the thing through successfully, but all arrangements dovetailed so perfectly that there was no perceptible jar in the machinery. The work of the Interstate Association in stimulating and training shooters was exemplified by the fact that the scores made make the winning scores of previous years look rather small. The total number of largest trapped in four and one-half days was 1S4.500. This would have been impossible had not the system of squading and man- ner of handling the contestants devised in 1904 been enforced. On the first day 2S4 contestants faced the traps and high averages were made. On the second day the state team event varied proceedings. This contest was keenly interesting and will doubtless evoke a large entry next year. The principal event of the tournament was, of course, the Grand Ameri- can Handicap, and it was also the great event of the western continent as to trap shooting. The win- ner scored 99 out cf 100, being but one ahead of four contestants, who tied on 9S The result has prompted a number of suggestions which the association can digest at leisure. The 1905 Grand American Handicap tournament may in future be equaled, but strenuous work will be required to eclipse it. There is no lack of inducements held out by various cities as places fcr holding the next Grand American Handicap, so we have a large margin for choice. The Menominee (Mich.) meet, on July 12 and 13, was a success from every point of view, though a heavy shower of rain somewhat delayed the wind-up. The contestants numbered sixty-five the first day and sixty-one the second, fifty-four of whom shot in all events. Two sets of traps were used and 23,050 tar- gets were trapped during the two days. The local club handled the visitors in a manner which left noth- ing to be desired. The attendance of spectators was encouraging. The Menominee Gun Club's shooting- grounds on Green Bay are unsurpassable as to scen- ery and convenience of location. The sixth tournament of the season was held at Albert Lea, Minn., August 2, 3 and 4. With the exception of the second day, which was too damp for comfort, the most pessimistic had no complaint com- ing. The shoot was under the fostering care of the Albert Lea Gun Club. The affair ran like clock- work and general satisfaction was expressed. A fea- ture of each day was Event No. 7. which called for 10 pairs of targets, something unusual of late. Hon. Henry A. Morgan, president of the local club, and Secretary N E. Petersen and other officers exerted themselves to make visitors and contestants com- fortable. Though sizzling heat, rain and high winds helu sway, the tournament August 16. IT and is at Kansas City, Mo., was pulled off quite satisfactory. It was under the auspices of the O K Gun Club, and a crowd was drawn to the Schmelzer Shooting Park. Many names of contestants present are familiar to the trap shooting fraternity. Considerable Mark Tapleyism was necessary to assure comfort on the third day, but despite rain, high wind and clouds, the shooting was, on the whole, good. The club management was commendable from a to Izzard. The eighth meet, at Colorado Springs, Colo., amid the wonders of the Celestial Architect, was especially notable for the work of the Colorado Springs Gun Club, which, not satisfied with the adage. 'Enough is as good as a feast." left no stone unturned which might possibly afford visitors pleasure. The most exacting could find no fault with the appointments The local tournament committee, Messrs. John W. Garrett, A J. Lawton and D. C. Sanderson, mutually surpassed each other in their efforts to have every- thing in apple-pie order. This tournament was held on August 29, 30 and 31, and one huncred and nine- teen contestants were in evidence. The contest was close and exciting, and the third day closed with every event on the program rounded out. There was never before such a notable gathering of trap shoot- ers in Colorado. The appointments generally were such as to suggest that no better place could be found for holding of the Grand American Handicap, putting all competing cities on their mettle The initial Pacific Coast Handicap was held in San Francisco September 15, 16 and 17. and the enthusi- astic Slc.pi is confidently believe that it, with all its splendor, will prove but an infant compared with future similar events, and pray fc: m. my happy returns.

Xe plus ultra' to date was the universal verdict, with loud response from the amen corner. The Interstate Associal 'mi's system evoked un- stinted praise and was pronounced the model for the future. "Praise from Sir Hubert is praise indeed," for the Slopers themselves are not beginners The purses were unanimously pronounced the most liberal ever tendered Pacific Coast shooters, (in the closing day the attendance o. specators was more than 1,500. That seed was sown in good ground was apparent to pessimists, if any were present. During the past thirteen years we have confined our work almost entirely to territory east of the Mississippi River, and now it would seem to be wise to work the field west of that river, Our experience this season in Colorado Spings and San Francisco indicates that the territory is already "white unto the harvest." and we have but to shake the plum tree to realize. Our initial turnament on the Pacific- Coast accomplished too much of mutual benefit to be allowed to lie fallow and should be followed by one or more tournaments there next year. I would strongly advocate the -making of the Pacific Coast Handicap an annual affair, and I nave a sanguine belief that the time will not be lon3- until it will be only second to our other great event — the Grand American Handicap. I again tender our members my hearty thanks for their untiagging support, and though virtue may be its own reward. I fervently wish them something more tangible. In this I include the sportsmen's journals for their unremitting courtesy and encouragement. Very respectfully submitted. ELMER E. SHANER, Secy -Mgr. Applications for the Grand American Handicap of 1906 were read, the applicants being Denver, India- napolis, Chicago and Columbus. Each application was accompanied by recommendations and set forth the advantages of their respective claims. By invi- tation Messrs. A. E. McKenzie and E. H. Tripp ad- dressed' the meeting an behalf oi: Denver and Indian- apolis respectively. A petition with over five hundred signers was presented in behalf of Chicago. The matter was discussed at great length, but no action was taken at this time By invitation Mr. J. A. Haskell delivered a very interesting address, which was well received and ap- proved. President Bennett, in a few well-chosen words, thanked Mr. Haskell for giving the association the benefit of his views. Letters advocating class shooting at the Grand American Handicap tournament were read, as were several communications touching on other subjects, all of which were received and ordered filed. By resolution it was decided that hereafter the club or association on whose' grounds the Grand American Handicap is held must use an equal number of sets of traps made by the different members of the Interstate Association, automatic or expert, at the maker's option, and to throw the targets made by said members in their respective traps. The next business taken up was applications for membership, and the Austin Cartridge Company of Cleveland. 0-, was duly elected a member. A recess of five minutes was then taken, after which the meeting was again called to order by President Bennett to consider the election of a board of seven directors, Messrs Waters and Park being appointed tellers. Messrs. Haskell. Barrell. Keller, Bennett- Durston, Tatham and Parker were declared elected. Upon motion the meeting adjourned at 6 o'clock p. m„ to meet at 10 a. m. the following day. The adjourned meeting was called to order at 10:40 a, m., December 15, with President Bennett in the chair. The roll-call showed lhe following members pres- ent: Union Metallic Cartridge Company, by A. C. Barrell; Winchester Repeating Arms Company, by Irby Bennett: Parker Bros., by W. F. Parker: E. I. Du Pont Company, by J. T. Skelly; Marlin Fire Arms Company, by J. Howard Marlin; Peters Cartridge Company, by T H. Keller; Hoyt Metal Company, >-»;■ W. P. Markle; Chamberlin Cartridge and Target Com- pany, by Paul North, and the Lefever Arms Company, by A. H. Durston. The following wtre represented by proxy: Tatham & Bros., by W. P. Markle; Laflin & Rand Powder Company, by J. T. Skelly: Remington Aims Company, by A C. Barrell. and the Hunter Arms Company, by T. H. Keller. New business was at once taken up where left off. It was decided to change the policy of the association and to hold four tournaments on lines similar to the Grand American Handicap, which was by the tourna- ment committee decided as follows: One in the East, one in the South, one in the West between the Mis- sissippi River and Salt Lake, and one on the Pacific Coast. These sections were defined by geographical Imitations, eastern section to be east of Buffalo and Pittsburg: southern to be south of the Ohio River and east of the'Mississippi River; western to be west of the Mississippi River and east of Salt Lake and Ogden; Pacific Coast to be west of Salt Lake and Ogden. It was resolved that each and all contestants of future Grand American Handicaps who have not shot in that event prior to 1906 shall be required to send in with their respective applications a specific state- ment of their respective averages through the six months prior to said application. In case said con- testant is a club member, bis statement of said gen- eral average is to be certified as correct by his club i cretary. Any other contestant shall he required to divulge his general average as above set forth, if required so to do by the secretary-manager of the Interstate Associal ion; A committee, by resolution, was appointed to in - v.siigale ihe Situation as it relates to rifle and rer volver shooting, and reporl to ihe Interstate Associa- tion the feasibility of adding that kind of competition to Interstate Association interests.

Wing, before the Louisiana Stock Breeders' Association, condensed for Farm and Ranch.) I sometimes illustrate this idea, (of feeding calves just a little less than they want) by telling the boys how to keep their sweethearts glad to see them That is a thing of importance to the young man, and to the sweet- heart too. It is mighty good to have ner glad to see you when you call up- on her, and the way is easy. Here is the rule, remember it. Always go away from her about Ave minutes be- fore she wishes you to go! If you will do that, when she sees you com- ing again she will welcome you with a smile, but if, instead, you over- stay five minutes, if you tire her with your company, when next she sees you coming, do you know the first thought that enters her mind? It is. "Why, here comes that man ^ho made me so tired the last time he was here." It is exactly so with the calf. too. When he conies up to get his feed, if he has been overfed, he thinks. •■Why. this is the food that gave me that pain under my apron" and de- clines with thanks. Of the twelve hmidred babies on Woodland Farm we try to keep every one m this ea„er expectancy, each one wishing that he had three grains more «( «. Well what next?

Why, it has not paid to feed me. it would have been cheaper to have knocked me in the head in the fall. But the oldest boy has gained about eight pounds, and that middle boy has gained ten, and the blessed baby has gained twelve pounds! Think of at. with less food each one has gained a hundred times as much as I have gained. It has stuck to their ribs, but not mine. "It is a fact that a pound of dry matter fed to a calf when it is very young will make a pound of gain on its body. Now, that seems impossi- ble, but you must remember that the pound of gain, is part of it water, and I speak of a pound of absolutely dry matter. Now, can you not see why it is imperative that you should feed those calves all the good food that you can get for them to consume while they are very young babies? Here are some figures for you to remember. It costs to create cattle about according to these figures, which are based on about forty-five different experiments of different ex- periment stations and fat stock show records. The value of the figures is in the comparison, for. of course, prices of food stuffs vary. For the first year it costs to make the baby grow, while yet all his cells are ac- tive, $3.50 per hundred pounds. For the second year it costs a little more than double tha-t, or $7.50 per hun- dred. For the third year $11, and for the fourth year $17. Now you see why our food should go to babies, why you simply can't afford to lose your opportunity to feed them well at the earliest possible age.

Gatulemsn— I first tried the remedy on a thoroughbred, which had bowed both tendons aDd which had beet, flred once and blistered a number of times, but every time he was trained one or ihe other of the legs would fill. This happened three years in succession. Last Spring I bought a bottle of ■■3ave-tbe-Horse," and used it according to directions with the result that he started 7 times, at all distances in uly last, and won 3 times, second 3 times and third once— an excellent record— and be appears to be perfectly sound to-day, and will be raced nest month. I am firmly convinced without your remedy he would not have been worth a dollar as a race horse. I have a roadster which stepped in a hole at pasture ar.d wrenched a hind ankle— so badly that be could not put his foot on the ground. I was advised to shout him, as It was claimed that he had iojured his blp. Instead, I blistered him and he became servlceably sound, but limped at every step. Upon close examination I found a growth between the coronary band and the ankle which developed into ring bone. I used one bottle of "Save the Horse" on the growth, and It entirely disappeared. He has not taken a lame step since Knowing the value of the remedy I do not hesitate to recommend it to all horse owners of my acquaintance. Very truly. W. a.. REDMOND. For Sctle Inquire of H. R.

Acquaint yourself with all pal is. Read the manufacturer's directions I'm- se King it up. Set it up carefully and according to instructions. Never try to run an incubator in a drafty place, nor near a stove nor where the sun shines upon it. Set fertile eggs only. Waste no ef- forts upon those that are doubtful. Learn how to trim and clean a lamp. . Keep L'he lamps full and the wicK and tube clean. Avoid smoke. See that the eggs are clean and dry befi re si tting them. Balance all eggs large end up. a few' hours before placing them in the tray. Do not overfill the tray. Turn every egg the third day. C, J the eggs every morning. Be sine your hands are clean wnen handling eggs. Test all eggs by the seventh day. Test agair by the eleventh day. Test again by the fifteenth day. If the air space is too large, sup- ply moisture: if too small put a saucer of dry lime in the room and run without moisture a day or two. Do not expect to learn all about the air cell the first hatch. Tcu will learn that later. Do not disturb the eggs after the evening of the eighteenth day. Have a regular hour for incubator work. Do not tinker too much with the reg- ulator before placing the eggs in the egg chamber. -We have frequently called attention to the fertilizing value of wood ashes, especially as a source of potash. With- out unnecessarily repeating what we have said as to the composition of ashes and the crops for which they are best suited, it may be advantageous to point out that while the commercial value of ashes will depend upon the potash and phosphoric acid content, the manurial value will be consider- ably higher. The presence of a large amount of lime, the mild alkalinity of the ash, the particular combinations in which two elements of plant food are held, are all, undoubtedly, factors that enhance the value of wood ashes as a fertilizer. In other words, the benefits derived from their use include, in ad- dition to the supplying of mineral plant food, the correction of sourness, the conversion of injurious iron com- pounds into harmless forms, the en- couragement of nitrification, and the general improvement of the tilth of the soil. It has frequently been noticed that soil to which ashes have been ap- plied is much better able to resist the injurious effect of a protracted drouth than adjoining land that has not been so treated." A novelty at the large agricultural show in London is a churn which is reported to make butter in sixty sec- onds. The cream is placed in the ves- sel so that the "dasher" is in the cen- ter and about one and one-half inches below the surface. The handle is then turned slowly for a few seconds, and ihen at a good speed, and within one minute butter is formed. If some fresh , ol 1 water be poured- in and the handle turned slowly two or three times, the butter is ready for washing and mak- ing up. There is nothing especially wrong with these quick butter gather- ers, except that a large per cent of the butter fat is left in the milk, the but- ter is of poor quality and its keeping possibilities are very low. RACI NG! Feeding embraces a large number of farm subjects to which it is directly related. Crop production is one of these. If the stock owner knows how to pasture his cattle, hogs or cows cheaply his foundation for success has been laid. The abundant winter pas- ture that may be had in the Southwest nearly every season for every month during the winter, prompts this state- ment. Wheat, oats, barley emmer. s.-lz. i ye. rescue grass, burr clover and tin- veches are our primary pas- ture plants for ivi'nter u.-e. Are they on a large pel cenl of our farms that carry stock as a leading feature? Here special knowledge is required. Know the plant know the land, are absolute requirements.
